Chapter 208: One-Hit KO
Marquis Weiyuan’s Madam came over, exchanged pleasantries with Song Ci and the others, and looked eagerly at Wang Qiuman, who was standing a step behind Grand Madam Wei, before quickly concealing her gaze.
As customary, she complimented Grand Madam Wei’s ability to nurture her granddaughters and grandnieces, all of whom were extraordinarily beautiful, and lamented her lack of luck in not having such a daughter.
Wang Qiuman and Wei Wenyan both shyly lowered their heads.
Song Ci glanced inadvertently at the girl named Wenyan, her eyes flickering slightly, but she didn’t dwell on it, focusing instead on Marquis Weiyuan’s Madam.
She felt something strange.
Marquis Weiyuan’s Madam had lost her legitimate son and had been dedicating herself to Buddhist practices for years, distancing herself from worldly matters. Back then, she suspected that her concubine’s son’s birth mother harmed her son, so naturally, she should dislike the son of the concubine.
From how Wei Cheng had been kept in his hometown for years, one could deduce this.
Yet, now that Wei Cheng was brought back, why would Marquis Weiyuan’s Madam set aside old grudges and be so keen on helping him find a wife? No matter how she looked at it, it seemed odd.
The more she thought about it, the more it felt amiss.
