The Princess Wei Yang

101.2.The Official Furen

Tan Shiwalked up towards Li Wei Yang and gently said: "What is bothering you?"

Li WeiYang smiled and said: "Mother, it is not a major matter, don't you worry."

Tan Shismiled. Her voice was very soft: "Silly child, you are my child, I am able totell when you are unhappy. Although Mother is not of much use and can't helpyou resolve any issues, but Mother can listen to you, and many things can besolved when discussed about."

Li WeiYang responded with a smile, her pair of jet black eyes falling onto Min Zhi.

Tan shifollowed her glance and then involuntarily frowned: "Is it related to Min Zhi?"

Li WeiYang nodded: "According to what I know, from the past three months, Fuqin hasbeen staying over at the new Furen's courtyard, it's evident that he dotes onher highly."

Tan Shinodded and said: "It's like that, Jiu Yiniang occasionally gets a visit once ina while, but Si Yiniang and others can't even get a glimpse of Lao Ye."

Li WeiYang noticed the indifferent tone that Tan Shi had when she spoke about this,so she knew that Tan Shi didn't care too much andfurtively nodded.

Tan Shithen spoke: "I know the new Furen is heavily favored so I've been alerting mypeople to not stir up anything and bring trouble onto you."

Li WeiYang couldn't help but smile: "Sometimes, we do not seek trouble uponourselves, but instead, it's initiated by others."

Tan Shicarefully chose her words: "The new Furen bullied you?"

Li WeiYang slowly said: "No, nothing has happened." Jiang Yuelan had just arrived,and for the past three months she had been trying to win over Li Xiaoran'sheart, so where could she find time to seek trouble with her? "It's just that......"

Li Wei Yangstopped in mid sentence, as if she couldn't bring herself to speak out. Afterall their time together, Tan Shi understood and said: "Whatever you have tosay, you say it. There are no outsiders here."

Li WeiYang glanced over Min Zhi, who was happily looking at her, and then sighed:"I've already thought about this, but I didn't know this would quickly becometrue. I've heard that Grandmother had caught a cold, so I went over to hercourtyard to visit her. Who would have known after arriving there, Lao Furentold me Jiang Yuelan wanted to raise Si Di under her care."

Bangssuddenly rang through Tan Shi's brain, she muttered: "Send him to her?"

The darkfog within Li Weiyang's eyes were like overcast clouds, becoming more and moresecretive: "Children born from yiniangs would, of course, be raised by the DiMu. When Da Furen was still alive, she had Li Minfeng and Li Changle, so shedid not want to bother with the responsibility to take care of others.Therefore, she didn't ask for Si Yiniang's Changxiao and Changxi to be sentover and be raised at her side. As for me, she hated me so much that sheexpelled me from the residence. Now the situation is entirely different as thenew Furen doesn't have any children. As long as she is willing, she can ask toraise Si Di. Whether it's Fuqin or Lao Furen, none of them would disapprove."

Tan Shiheld back her tears; she certainly knew about this. As a Yiniang, she shouldn'tview her own flesh and blood as as her own children, but instead see them asthe children belonging to the Di Mu. And as for Min Zhi, he wouldn't see her -the birth mother- as his Muqin but as a concubine of his Fuqin. This situation wasequivalent to how she had to refer to Wei Yang as San Xiaojie in front ofothers. It was a truth that no one could change. This was the reason why sheserved Da Furen at the start; she only wished to be married off to a steward,or even a lowly servant, because then she would be the only wife, instead ofbeing trapped in such a miserable condition.
