"Can you speak now?"
Taiyuan, Wang Family Ancestral Residence, Grievance Hall.
Wang Kui walked into the side hall and sat down at the head of the table. He looked at Wang Renyi and said expressionlessly.
Since Wang Yu had imprisoned Wang Renyi here last year and forbade any member of the family from stepping into the Grievance Hall, Wang Kui had taken a certain risk by coming here tonight. However, as the Second Elder of the Wang family, it was easy for him to send away the guards outside the courtyard. If Wang Renbiao could say something that piqued his interest tonight, he would naturally be happy. If not, then Wang Renbiao would not have a good time!
"I heard yesterday that my eldest brother got married in Qizhou, and the person he married is the daughter of a merchant. What is Second Elder's opinion on this?"
Wang Renyi cupped his hands and said.
Wang Kui frowned and said unhappily, "Humph! This is your Eldest Branch's matter. What opinion can this old man have? Now the Wang Family of Taiyuan has lost all face because of your Eldest Branch! "
Members of aristocratic families had always been insufferably arrogant, and the innate superiority in their hearts was deeply ingrained. Wang Kui was the staunchest opponent of Wang Renbiao marrying Li Jingchu among the elders of the Wang family. Even with Li Zexuan's letter, he still opposed this marriage!
In his view, Li Jingchu was not worthy of marrying into the Wang Family, and even less worthy of marrying the eldest son of the Wang Family. Li Zexuan had no right to interfere in the Wang Family's affairs! Therefore, Wang Kui did not approve of Li Zexuan's letter!
Hearing this, Wang Renyi's expression did not change, but he was laughing in his heart. He cupped his hands again and said, "The Wang Family is a thousand-year-old family, and my eldest brother is the eldest son of the Wang Family. This matter is indeed lacking in consideration! However, Second Elder, have you thought about why my father, who has always put the family's interests first, agreed to my eldest brother's marriage this time? "
Wang Kui's face darkened. He frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
Wang Renyi was neither flustered nor slow as he said seriously, "My father is scared! My grandfather is also afraid! That's why no one dares to stop my elder brother's marriage! "
This time, without waiting for Wang Kui to ask, Wang Renyi continued, "Renyi heard that the woman my big brother married was recognized as his foster sister by the Marquis of Yong 'an. Now, the Marquis of Yong' an is in the limelight in the imperial court. Not only did he become a Marquis at such a young age, he was even conferred the position of Provincial Governor of a province by the Emperor. He is in charge of the military and political power of a province.
He recognized that woman as his adopted sister because he wanted to facilitate this marriage! In the past few years, the aristocratic families have been in a state of turmoil and the suppression of the aristocratic families by the imperial power has become an indisputable fact. My father and grandfather are unwilling to offend the Marquis of Eternal Peace, so they have chosen to acquiesce in this matter!
They lowered their heads to the Marquis of Yong 'an, which is the same as lowering their heads to the Imperial Court. My big brother, as the eldest son of the first wife, ignored the interests of the clan and committed such a grave mistake. He should have been stripped of his status as the eldest son of the first wife, but because of the intervention of the Marquis of Yong' an, nothing happened! It's laughable that our Wang family's thousand years of glory is now lowering our heads to a small Marquis. Truly laughable! "
Towards the end, Wang Renyi's deliberately calm face lost some of his composure. His voice also became filled with unwillingness and madness!
"Shut up!"
Although Wang Kui did not approve of the marriage between Wang Renbiao and Li Jingchu, he would not allow others to humiliate the Wang family. After all, he was the second elder of the Wang family.
At this moment, a trace of understanding flashed across his furious eyes. He looked at Wang Renyi and sneered, "It seems that you are very jealous of your big brother and want to borrow this old man's strength to replace him? Hmph! Dream on! You are only a bastard son of the eldest son. What right do you have to dare to covet the position of the future head of the Wang family? "
