Chapter 1120 The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (two hundred and forty-two)
Because of Wei Yan's matter, Qingli also paid more attention to Wei Pan, another brother-in-law in the mansion.
Wei Pan's mother, Wei, was the daughter of a young general at the border. She met the old marquis at the border more than ten years ago and later became his concubine.
Wei Pan grew up in a remote border area, but he wasn't good at martial arts. His health was poor, and he would fall ill whenever the weather turned cold. He only attended private school for a few years in the border area. After returning to the capital, he didn't attend academy, so the old marquis hired two teachers to teach him.
Qingli was a doctor, but she kept it to herself. She wouldn't even prepare the medicine herself. Even the maids around her only knew that her mistress was well-read and had a few medical books on her bookshelf. She hired a renowned doctor to treat Wei Pan, occasionally casually reminding him of the medications he was using to ensure he lived past eighteen.
Before, she only cared about Wei Pan's health, but now she also examined his character and determined that Wei Pan was a person who valued the interests of the family, had no ambition, no resentment, and was grateful to his brother and sister-in-law. So she gave Wei Yan the extra share and treatment beyond the norm to Wei Pan. Of course, favors should be given to those who know how to be grateful.
More than half a month passed, and Prince Ni and Concubine Tian also saw the attitude of the Wei family.
The Wei family refused to take the initiative, and news came out that Wei Yan was seriously ill. A master said that she must not marry within three years before her condition would improve, which was also a polite rejection of the possibility of marrying with the Tian family or Zhao Yu.
Master Tian Er was worried about his only son, and often pleaded with his sister and nephew. Naturally, they could not use Tian Hao as bait again, so they had to let him go.
The assassination of Prince Ren brought down Zhao Jian, who became a commoner and disappeared from the capital with his wives, concubines, and sons. Prince Ren, however, received a fiefdom and promoted Consort Shu to Consort Tian. The compensation was sufficient, so the mother and son naturally stopped pursuing Tian Hao. Only Madam Lin, the concubine of Master Tian Er, hated Tian Hao to the core and wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of him.
When Tian Hao learned that Wei Yan was seriously ill, he visited her several times, but was politely asked to leave by the housekeeper, who said that the young lady was recuperating and could not see guests.
After three times, Tian Hao stopped coming.
Whenever Qingli has some free time, she will go to see what’s happening at the Tian family.
After all, Madam Lin had done Concubine Tian a favor, and her son died for Zhao Yu, so the Tian family didn't dare to treat her harshly. However, she kept pestering Tian Hao and tried to murder him several times, which became known to everyone in the capital and made Concubine Tian embarrassed.
In particular, Concubine Tian voluntarily gave in and let her second brother give her the status of a co-wife. As for promoting her to be the main wife, that was not possible. The law stipulated that a concubine could not be promoted to the main wife, except of course the emperor's concubines.
Concubine Tian felt that since Lin was already a co-wife and had a status as a wife, and her son was dead, she should just behave herself and take good care of the household affairs for the second master Tian. However, she had to compete with Tian Hao, making the Tian family a laughing stock!
One day, Qingli went out and happened to see Tian Hao shot in the chest by an arrow, being carried back to the mansion by the guards. Qiulan was extremely surprised: "Madam, is Lin so bold? She dared to commit a crime in the street!"
Qingli smiled, "Do you think the Lin family is so arrogant? Why is it that the Lin family must have been responsible for Tian Hao being shot? But it doesn't matter. Tian Hao is cruel enough, and the Lin family is going to leave."
Sure enough, a few days later, Mr. Tian Er's concubine, Lin, became ill due to excessive worry and wanted to go to the farm to recuperate.
The excitement at the Tian family came to an end.
Qingli was watching the excitement in Anping Marquis' Mansion again.
Zhu Yuanwu was actually an acquaintance of her brother, Song Lingji. Although he was a bastard, he was rare and was raised as a treasure by the Marquis of Anping. He wasn't a pure and kind person, but he wasn't a wicked person either. He was easy to understand and easy to get along with, so he was considered a popular young man in the capital.
Perhaps Zhu Yuanwu's biggest setback in life was falling for women. The Ninth Princess, Zhao Yi, had been criticized for marrying during the Queen Mother's mourning period, so she remained secluded. She even didn't attend the full moon banquet for Zhu Yuanwu's eldest son, truly fading from everyone's sight.
But the eleventh princess Zhao Han didn't get along with her, and helped the eighth lady of the Chen family to have an affair with Zhu Yuanwu.
Zhu Yuanwu and Miss Chen Ba rekindled their old love, and somehow he had the idea of causing the Ninth Princess to die of illness.
