"What? Does this old man's words no longer carry weight? "
In the main hall of the Qizhou Provincial Governor's Estate, Wang Yu seemed to have become a completely different person, shocking everyone. The servants who had followed Princess Tong 'an's orders and wanted to enter to capture Leng Yuyao were all stunned on the spot. For a moment, they did not know whether to advance or retreat. It could be said that they were in a dilemma. Seeing this, Wang Yu's face could not help but sink as he coldly said.
He usually gave in to Princess Tong 'an on small matters, but modesty did not mean that he was afraid of her. Sometimes, modesty was also a form of respect. However, no matter what, he was the current patriarch of the Wang Family of Taiyuan. As long as he was still the patriarch, the Wang Family had to obey his orders!
"… Yes! Patriarch! "
Seeing Wang Yu's dignified expression and signs of anger, the Wang Family servants quickly regained their wits and bowed to receive the order.
An Fu then bowed again and said, "This old servant will bring people to prepare the betrothal gifts and bring a matchmaker to the Li Family to present the betrothal gifts!"
Wang Yu nodded in satisfaction and said, "Mm! Go! "
Seeing that her 'efforts' over the past few days had all gone to waste, Princess Tong 'an's eyes surged with anger and showed signs of exploding. However, Wang Yu's domineering' this old man is the patriarch of the Wang Family 'made Princess Tong' an's heart palpitate. After sharing the same bed for so many years, she knew that Wang Yu was serious at this moment. If she went against him now, she would not be able to get away with it! Even if she was the princess of the Great Tang and Li Er's aunt, she could not do it!
This was a family matter of the Wang Family. Even if Li Er was the monarch of the country, he could not support Princess Tong 'an at this time!
As such, Princess Tong 'an could only watch as Wang Yu arranged for people to propose marriage to Li Jingchu.
At this time, Wang Yu walked in front of Wang Renbiao and said with a smile, "Cousin, you don't have to worry about your marriage with Miss Li anymore. Father will help you arrange it. Right now, it is more important for you to take care of your body. Don't wait until the day of the wedding and still be sick in bed!"
Just a moment ago, his marriage had clearly been opposed by his entire family. But now, Wang Yu, the head of the Wang family, was actually supporting it. This change happened too quickly, so quickly that Wang Renbiao was unable to react. Although he had guessed that Li Zexuan would plead for him and Li Jingchu in the letter, Wang Renbiao did not expect that Li Zexuan's letter would actually be so "effective", directly causing Wang Yu's attitude to change 180 degrees!
With infinite surprise and doubt, Wang Renbiao said to Wang Yu, "Thank you, Father. I will definitely take good care of my body these days!"
"Sigh! You have a good brother! "
Wang Yu sighed deeply. He patted his son's shoulder, then looked at Leng Yuyao and said, "Yuyao, quickly help Cousin to the backyard to rest, then invite the best doctor in the county to treat him!"
Previously, when Wang Renbiao was sick in bed, Wang Yu and Princess Tong 'an had also invited a few doctors for him. After all, Wang Renbiao was their son. Although they hated him, it was far from the point where they would disregard his life. However, at that time, Wang Renbiao was only concerned about Li Jingchu's safety and did not cooperate with the treatment. In addition, he was suffering from a mental illness. The doctors treated him for a few days, but there was almost no effect, so they only left behind a few prescriptions to strengthen his foundation before leaving!
Now that Wang Renbiao's biggest worry was gone, with the treatment of the doctors, his recovery would definitely be faster!
"Yes! Master! "
The corners of Leng Yuyao's mouth rose slightly. She bowed to Wang Yu with cupped fists, then supported Wang Renbiao and left.
"Hmph!"
Princess Tong 'an, who was standing at the head of the table, finally could not bear it anymore. She snorted angrily, then flicked her sleeves and left.
"Sigh … sigh!"
Wang Yu reached out to stop her, but in the end, he did not manage to do so. He could only let Princess Tong 'an walk past him. After some thought, Wang Yu quickly followed.
… … …
"Hey! Madam! Your husband had someone buy some of the best divine tea. It's still fresh. Madam, quickly try it. It's very fragrant! "
In the western courtyard of the Provincial Governor's Residence, Wang Yu had a maidservant bring over a pot of tea and personally poured a cup for Princess Tong 'an. Then, he walked forward with a fawning expression.
At this moment, the mighty and domineering patriarch of the Wang family had turned into a 'henpecked' man. If anyone else saw this, their eyes would definitely pop out of their sockets!
"Hmph! Don't be so fake! "
Princess Tong 'an stepped aside and stood up angrily. "We've already reached a consensus regarding Cousin's marriage. We can't let him marry that merchant's daughter, or else he'll be finished in the Wang family! Didn't you agree before? Why did you become the good guy in the end and I become the vicious and evil woman? "
Wang Yu smiled apologetically. "Haha! What are you saying, Madam? I don't know if Madam is kind, graceful, and generous? "
Princess Tong 'an was annoyed when she heard this. "Hmph! I'm afraid the entire residence is talking about how cruel I am to my son, and how much you, Wang Yu, dote on your son ~? "
These words were naturally spoken out of anger. In fact, both Wang Yu and Princess Tong 'an felt terrible when they saw Wang Renbiao suffering and being bedridden. After all, blood ties could not be severed. The reason why they insisted on separating Wang Renbiao and Li Jingchu was for Wang Renbiao's future. In Princess Tong' an's opinion, if she and Wang Yu 'persisted', Wang Renbiao might eventually 'compromise'!
Hearing this, Wang Yu quickly coughed. "Ahem! As for Cousin's marriage, Li Jingchu is indeed not a good match for Cousin. Her status is a little low, but Madam Xin of the Marquis of Yong 'an, you've seen it for yourself. Li Jingchu is not only the daughter of a merchant, she's also the Marquis of Yong' an's adopted sister! "
"So what if she's an adopted sister? She's not his biological sister! Without blood ties, Li Jingchu's status is still lacking compared to our Wang Clan of Taiyuan! "
Princess Tong 'an said disapprovingly.
These words were indeed true. With the prestige of the Five Clans and Seven Hopes among the common people, even the Prime Minister's family would find it difficult to marry a descendant of the Five Clans, let alone Li Jingchu, who was only Li Zexuan's adopted sister!
Wang Yu sternly said, "Madam, according to the Marquis of Yong 'an's letter, he values Li Jingchu greatly! If we go too far, the Marquis of Yong 'an might … "
"Hmph! You're the patriarch of the Wang Clan of Taiyuan, so why would you fear a mere Marquis? What a joke! "
Princess Tong 'an glanced at Wang Yu and sneered.
Wang Yu shook his head and sighed softly. "Madam, in the past, the Wang Clan of Taiyuan naturally did not fear a mere Marquis. However, the situation is different now. The current His Majesty is a man of great talent and vision. His political and martial prowess does not lose out to any of the previous Emperors. His intention to weaken the Noble Clans and promote the commoners is well known!
A few months ago, the Cui Clan of Qinghe, the Cui Clan of Boling, and the Zheng Clan of Xingyang were exterminated by His Majesty. Now, the Noble Clans are in a precarious situation and have long lost their former glory! Moreover, the Marquis of Yong 'an is no ordinary Marquis! "
