The Princess Wei Yang

29.Invitation Letter in the Rain

The wound on Li Chang Xi’s face had become a scar. A large amount of powder was needed just to slightly cover it up. She had to recuperate in her compound for one month. Eventually she had to unwillingly leave her living quarters at Shuang Yue Ge and go to He Xiang Yuan when Lao furen asked for the fifth time.

She had just entered Lao furen’s compound when she heard the laughter. “Wei Yang, you are always making me laugh!”

Li Wei Yang was wearing a yellow and green silk cotton dress. There were orchid embroidered on the collar, making it extremely eye-catching. On her head was a simple jade hairpin. She gave off a youthful and amiable aura, making her appear to be a very friendly person. The smile on her face was even more jovial.

“It is Wei Yang’s fortune to be next to Lao furen.”

Lao furen laughed again and gently poked her head as she said to Luo mumu, “She is lying again! Such a sweet tongue!”

Li Chang Xi was shocked. Lao furen was generally serious and respectable. She was never too close with her grand-daughters, but since when has she become so affectionate towards Li Wei Yang? What she didn’t know was that, for the past month, Li Wei Yang had been visiting Lao furen regularly. She was Lao furen’s companion as they prayed together, brewed tea and talked. Since then, everyone knew Lao furen’s most favored was Li Wei Yang.

Right then, a servant quickly went to relay Wu xiaojie’s appearance.

Li Chang Xi promptly followed and performed her greetings. “Chang Xi had been ill but immediately came here to give Lao furen my greetings the moment I got better. Please forgive me.”

Lao furen looked at her nonchalantly. “You may stand.”

Li Chang Xi knew her behavior at Nan Yuan must have spread to Lao furen’s ears. She was a bit anxious, her body was stiff, unable to move.

Li Wei Yang briefly glanced at Lao furen’s expression then chuckled and walked forward. She helped Li Chang Xi up. “Wu meimei, you shouldn’t always be asking for forgiveness at the littlest of things. Lao furen is a benevolent person and won’t blame you.”

Li Chang Xi’s expression changed. She suddenly realized that Li Wei Yang already had a great understanding of Lao furen’s moods. They were both the concubine’s daughters. If Li Wei Yang could gain Lao furen’s favor, why couldn’t she?

“Lao furen. . . It’s just that Chang Xi feels restless inside. . .” Li Chang Xi blinked several times as tears began to drip from her eyes.

Li Wei Yang was grinning. It seemed Li Chang Xi had thought it through carefully because she wasn’t shouting venomous words or acting out in anger.

Lao furen sighed and said, “You’re also a docile child, I know. It must be hard on you.”

Li Chang Xi finally stopped crying once she heard those words from Lao furen.

Li Wei Yang lightly smiled. “With Wu meimei’s speedy recovery, us sisters will be able to visit each other more frequently.”

Li Chang Xi stared at Wei Yang intently with a complicated feeling inside.

Lao furen nodded. “Indeed. Not only are the two of you sisters, you guys are also thexiaojies of the Prime Minister’s estate, I will not accept the two of you fighting over a trivial matter. When that happens, it doesn’t matter who is right or wrong, both shall be punished, understand?”

Li Wei Yang blinked and said, “Understand.”

Soon after, the two of them left Lao furen’s compound.
