111, Attitude
Wei Jiang followed Princess Yongyang to step out of the gate of the Nanyang Marquis Mansion with one foot. Princess Yongyang raised her foot onto the carriage without looking back.
"No matter what my mother does, Xiaoqi will always support her mother."
He reached out and grabbed Princess Yongyang's hand and encouraged her. Princess Yongyang took a deep breath and held Wei Jing's hand in reverse, "Does it still hurt?"
"Don't worry, mother, it doesn't hurt at all. Xiaoqi is pretending." Wei Jing grinned, not wanting to worry Princess Yongyang. That kick had cut off her relationship with Grandpa Wei's grandchildren.
Princess Yongyang lowered her voice, "Your elder brother has heard news this morning."
Sure enough, Wei Jing guessed it. Princess Yongyang endured it for several months, and suddenly made such a big noise. There must be a reason for it.
"It is absolutely impossible for you to leave and leave with me. I went into the palace to ask the Queen Mother of the West to separate the big house."
The big house was separated or had a quarrel with Mr. Wei, and there was no one else who could control Wei Baixiao as an elder.
"It's not just for your elder brother, but also for you. If you don't separate your family today, your marriage will definitely be hindered in the future. Xiaoqi, mother must not watch you suffer from grievances."
Princess Yongyang was determined to separate from the Wei family. She was the princess, and logically speaking, there should be a princess's mansion. However, when she got married, she gave it up, and it is not difficult to pick it up now.
As I wished, I saw Empress Dowager Akihito of Taihe Palace. Princess Yongyang came with red eyes. Empress Dowager Akihito frowned, "What's wrong with this? Who's bullying?"
Princess Yongyang covered her face as she said about the morning incident, "It was Yongyang who was reckless. She would have to trouble the Empress Dowager for this trivial matter. I beg the Empress Dowager to forgive her crimes. Yongyang... There is no way out. If she doesn't separate, Yongyang will really have no way to live."
Empress Dowager Mingren has always been careless. At first glance, her brows relaxed a lot and asked someone to help Princess Yongyang sit down, "What are you saying? After all, the old man is an elder, and you are a junior. If you split up, it will also affect your own reputation."
"Empress Dowager, Yongyang also knows this floor, but if there is no family separation, the old man will give Xiaoqi a unsatisfactory marriage in the future. Yongyang regrets it. At that time, the eldest house was slandered by the second house. Please give the Empress Dowager a clear lesson."
After crying in front of Empress Dowager Mingren for an afternoon, most of them were talking about the matter with several daughters. Empress Dowager Mingren once had a daughter, but was married far away by the late emperor and was tortured to death. Even though she became the empress dowager of a country and enjoyed endless wealth, she still couldn't forget the mother-daughter relationship in her heart.
This is also the reason why Princess Yongyang came to find Empress Dowager Mingren. As expected, Empress Dowager Mingren felt emotional when she was touched by the scene and her eyes turned red.
"The Empress Dowager should not be angry. It is Yongyang's bastard. If he is angry, Yongyang is a sinner." Princess Yongyang and Empress Dowager Akiri's daughter are about the same age. In addition, Empress Dowager Akiri and Princess Chonghua are old friends, so the two have been playing together since childhood.
Every time I look at Princess Yongyang, Empress Dowager Mingren is sad for a few days, but I just don’t mention it.
"The old man of the Wei family is a confused man and has a stubborn temper. The emperor thought that he was old and allowed to return to Beijing and kick a child in public. This is unreasonable." Empress Dowager Mingren waved to Wei Jin, and Wei Jin stepped forward and knelt at Empress Dowager Mingren's knees.
"I heard the emperor mention you many times, and you are extremely courageous and smart. What do you think about this?"
Wei Jing whispered, "Thank you, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor for your misunderstanding. My daughter is ashamed of her. I dare not take it. My daughter dares to ask the Empress Dowager to respond to her mother's request. Now she lives in the Marquis Mansion in Nanyang. Every step and every scene are memories. My mother often encounters these things that will hurt the scene. My daughter has also seen her secretly hurt her. My daughter is the flesh that fell from her mother's heart. The second sister was tortured by her husband's family and has always been a scar in her mother's heart..."
When she mentioned this, Empress Dowager Mingren couldn't help but sigh one after another, feeling indescribable sadness in her heart. She comforted Princess Yongyang with a few words, leaving her meal tonight and resting in the palace for a night.
This move made the people of Nanyang Marquis' Mansion unable to calm down.
"Taihe Gong hasn't been concerned about the world for a long time, why did it suddenly..." Wei sighed to her husband Wei Chun one after another. Wei Chun went out early and came back late every day, and was in poor health. He took medicine for many years and rarely cared about it.
"Wei Jue has changed from the son of the Nanyang Hou to the heir of the great house. Even the master of Taihe Palace, the eldest sister-in-law, is not a problem to ask for more things."
Wei Chun coughed twice, then asked again, "Jiu Yatou is really unreasonable. He caused trouble as soon as he came back. If this family is divided, it will be unreasonable to live in the Nanyang Marquis Mansion."
Wei's eyelids twitched. Why didn't she expect this floor? She just cared about the big room and ignored herself.
"What the third master means is that we will be divided too?" Wei asked carefully. After leaving the Nanyang Marquis Mansion, the third house was a small side branch with no one helping him. In a place like Kyoto City where royal relatives are everywhere, it is worthless at all.
Wei was unwilling to leave Nanyang Marquis' Mansion from the bottom of his heart. When it came to this, Wei rubbed his eyebrows, "Don't worry, Third Master, I will definitely teach Jiu Yat-sama well when I look back."
Wei Chun nodded faintly, his pale and thin cheeks flushed because of the cough. It took him a while to calm down. "The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. Let it go. Leaving it. It is not a good thing to leave. The Wei family is no longer the Wei family eight years ago. If you go carefully, you will find out that the second house has already been unable to make ends meet. It is just a mere appearance. There is a marquis position on the head, which is not a real power. We left the Nanyang Marquis Mansion and take charge of our own family after we go out. We may be able to make a fortune. Besides, we don’t know what the new one has. If it is the same as the one in front, the third house may not be able to get a good job."
After hearing Wei Chun's explanation, Wei clenched his fists, "Miss Wen, the Marquis of Changping, is the legitimate wife of the first wife. She is not as good as a farmer's daughter. She is not as handsome as a farmer's daughter. She is not comparable to that of Wei Chun. Changping, the Marquis of Changping, is also a powerful official of the emperor, and the Marquis of Changping, is also a wealthy family..."
"Don't you know that Changping Hou is the successor, and the Miss Wen family is the original wife, and she is not the legitimate brother and sister. How can we be the same?" Wei Chun quickly retorted that instead of entrusting all his hopes to the second wife, it would be better to go out and earn a share by himself.
Wei was unwilling to accept it, so he lowered his head and said silently, "But the second wife was no different from us before. The second brother's biological mother was still the foot-washing maid next to the deceased old lady. The third master's concubine is a serious concubine. In terms of identity, the third master is much more decent than the second brother."
Wei Hong can get a title, why can't the third wing? When Wei Hong was granted a marquis, the Tao family often showed off their power in front of Wei. The court implicitly sarcastically happened that the old master Wei was demoted for committing an incident. Wei did not hesitate and followed Mr. Wei to Fenyang with Mr. Wei to avoid being angry.
Now that the Tao has left, the eldest family is not good, and the second family has no legitimate son. Seeing that the third family is about to rise, they just leave like this, Wei is really unwilling to accept it.
Wei Chun saw through Wei's thoughts and looked cold, "Have you ever thought that one day the big house rises, the second house will definitely not be able to withstand the second house. If you flatter the second house like this, my second brother is a cruel and ruthless. How do you treat the nieces of the big house? Do you think you can treat you kindly?"
"The big house rises?" Wei smiled. How could this be possible.
"The eldest nephew is not dead yet, and the eldest brother has not been convicted. The eldest sister-in-law has been pardoned. Do you think the eldest brother will not be able to come back in this life?"
Wei was stunned and said nothing. To be honest, it is much easier to get along with a big house than a second house. At least the couple in the big house disdained to argue with others, and it was not as petty as the second house.
"What the third master said is very important, I don't think about it."
Then Wei Chun said, "My sister-in-law is not a stupid person. She pays attention to the reason for everything. Now she suddenly turned against each other and insisted on splitting up her family. She doesn't even care about her reputation. Have you ever thought about the mystery?"
Wei shook her head. She had never thought about this. She just thought that Princess Yongyang was angry for a moment and deliberately opposed Mr. Wei. Princess Yongyang is famous for protecting her shortcomings.
"Let's wait and see. Let's not get involved in the dispute between the big house and the second house, just wait and see what's going on." Wei Chun said and coughed again. Wei quickly stepped forward to serve, handed the warm water, and served the medicine. It took Wei Chun a while to recover.
The next day
None of the people in the Wei family came. Old Master Wei was so angry that he smashed several tea cups in one breath.
After Wei Hong got off the morning court, he returned to the mansion with a drooping face. He saluted Mr. Wei first when he entered the door and said the words that Emperor Nanliang had made some suggestions in the court. Mr. Wei's face became even more ugly.
"Yongyang really complained?"
Old Master Wei is still a little unbelievable. As the saying goes, family scandals should not be made public. If it weren't for hearing them in person, he wouldn't believe that Princess Yongyang really dared to give up.
Wei Hong nodded.
"What kind of evil did the Wei family do? Come back after marrying such a devastating star!" Old Master Wei regretted it. When he asked his eldest son to marry such a powerful daughter-in-law, Wei Huaijin was a young talent in Kyoto City. How many people came to ask about the marriage in different ways? Old Master Wei was extremely distracted and almost dazzled.
In the end, Princess Chonghua attacked her. The late emperor issued an imperial edict. The marriage was settled, and the Wei family could not respond. Old Master Wei could only pinch his nose and respond. Because the eldest princess's mansion was of high power and his daughter-in-law was noble, Old Master Wei was even more dissatisfied.
In the afternoon, Princess Yongyang led Wei Ji back, and as soon as she entered the door, she was invited to the main courtyard. Old Master Wei had a tense face and almost cursed, and he insisted on his words.
"But say a few words to you, I actually ran to the palace to file a complaint. Where did you put the Wei family Yan face?"
Princess Yongyang curled her lips and smiled slightly, "There is only one Xiaoqi under my knees. Who dares to bully Xiaoqi? Not to mention entering the palace to complain, I can even give up even if I beat the drums and drums. My face is worth a few dollars. The face of the big house has long been trampled on."
"You!" Old Master Wei choked, angry, and he took a long time to ask, "What do you want!"
"Splitting the family!"
When Wei Hong heard about the separation of the family, he was unable to do so. "Sister-in-law, my father is old, and he is splitting up at this time..."
"There is no one to support the big house anymore. Staying in the Nanyang Marquis Mansion will make a difficult time for the second brother. My father is the family business of the big house. The big house can be handed over. But I hope that my father and the Nanyang Marquis Mansion will not get involved in everything about the big house in the future!"
Princess Yongyang was determined to split up and put forward such moving conditions, Wei Hong wanted to agree immediately.
"I'm not dead yet, you're just thinking about leaving. You can leave by yourself, leave Qi Yatou!"
Princess Yongyang sneered repeatedly, "If my father insisted on doing this, I would even seek an imperial edict even if I sacrificed my life."
"You dare!" Old Master Wei glared at Princess Yongyang angrily, which was clearly a threat to him.
It has reached this point, Princess Yongyang has nothing to dare to do. She raised her chin and looked at Wei Hong, "My second brother is also an official in the court. Even the matter of the back house is inappropriate, which is a mess. I don't know if it will affect my second brother's career when it comes to the emperor's ears. I will take away every grass and tree that belongs to the big house. I will not take any money for the Wei family. I will not take any money. Three days later, if this matter cannot be settled, then I have to go to Jingzhao Yin's Mansion to beat the drum and make trouble."
Wei Hong changed his face. Yongyang County mainly went to beat drums and complained about the wrongs. When he got to the official family, Wei Hong really didn't want his face.
"Sister-in-law..."
"No need to say more about gossip. It's getting late, so it's time for me to go back and clean up."
Princess Yongyang is not polite at all to deal with such people. She has a tough attitude and can shock them from her momentum.
Wei Hong immediately looked at Mr. Wei. Mr. Wei was tense and a little displeased. He suddenly shouted, "Stop!"
Princess Yongyang stopped.
Old Master Wei asked again, "What you said just now is true?"
"Of course it is true. As long as my father signs a document, the honor and disgrace of the big house will have nothing to do with the Wei family in the future. The property of the big house and the fertile land shops that were divided by the big house, they should be treated as filial to the big house. The big house is not good. Without the big house, the Nanyang Marquis' Mansion will surely rise up, and the daughter-in-law just wants to keep Xiaoqian and live quietly."
Princess Yongyang's attitude also softened. After analyzing the pros and cons, Mr. Wei immediately went to invite the people from the ancestors.
About an hour later, about a dozen people came. Princess Yongyang didn't want to make a fuss, so she left some face to Mr. Wei.
"I'm here today because I want you to be a witness. The big house is weak and voluntarily gave up inheriting the Wei family lineage, and handed over the industry belonging to the big house to inherit the Wei family, and handed over to the Wei family together."
After saying that, several tribe members looked at Princess Yongyang incredibly. After leaving the Wei family, what was left in the big house?
"Princess, this is no joke."
"That's right, if you have something, you can't sit down and chat calmly."
Princess Yongyang shook her head, "It is a fact that the big house is lonely. It is also a legitimate eldest son. Keeping it behind will only drag down the Wei family. It is better to let the second house inherit it. Now I don't want to fight for anything anymore, and I don't want to show up and fight anything, just seeking stability."
When everyone heard this, they regarded Princess Yongyang as being frightened by the coup eight years ago and restrained their minds. When they thought of the situation in the big house, they agreed.
Princess Yongyang looked at Old Master Wei, "Father, in the future, the big house will live a stable life, so I won't bother my father."
Old Master Wei looked up at Princess Yongyang and snorted heavily, but when he thought of the property of the big house, he nodded, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings..."
"Grandfather!" Wei Jue called out to Mr. Wei. Just as he was about to say something, news came from outside that the Bei'an couple was here.
Wei Jue's eyelids twitched. Seeing Mr. Wei take a step forward and ignore himself. As a last resort, Wei Jue swallowed the second half of his words.
"Does your brother not want to leave the Nanyang Marquis Mansion? Or do you dislike being incompetent in the big house and not being able to give your brother a bright light?"
Wei Jing appeared behind him at some point and looked at Wei Jue with a smile. His voice was extremely cold. Wei Jue's back felt cold as he heard it.
"What do you say about Seven Sisters?"
"Oh, I forgot that my brother's marriage has been allowed to be decided by my grandfather, or am I worried that my mother will not treat my brother well?"
Wei Jue's face was a little darker, "Seventh Sister misunderstood, I didn't have that intention."
"The second house has nothing to do with the elder brother. In the future, the only one who respects his mother is the only one who respects his brother. If he insists on tying the second house and the eldest house together and getting stuck in the middle, he will be in a dilemma of loyalty and filial piety, what do you think?"
Wei Jing smiled, and before Wei Jue could speak, he had already stood up to greet Wei Wanning, who was erect and left Wei Jue standing there with a gloomy face.
The moment he saw Wei Wanning, Princess Yongyang smiled a little more on her face and said angrily, "Why are you back? Don't say hello in advance."
"Of course I'm thinking about my mother. Come back and see what happened at home? It's so lively?" Wei Wanning asked with a blank look on her face.
