The news that the Wei Family's guniang had run to the wang fu to recommend herself had somehow reached Jing guifei's ears. She, who had originally thought that Wei Ran Shuang was confused, now felt that this was a guniang with no upbringing at all. She had ruined the reputation of the Wei Family. Luckily, they didn't have the same grandfather. Otherwise, even she would have been affected.
"Ding mama," Jing guifei's face was dark as she said coldly: "Take ben gong's token and personally go to Wei lang zhong's fu. Just say that Qin shi's conduct is lacking and that she did not teach her daughter properly. In order to prevent the Wei Family's reputation from being tainted, please advise his wife and daughter. Otherwise, in the future, the two fu will not interact. " Her tangge was mediocre and didn't have any great abilities. He did things according to the rules. When he came to Jing, it was Heng'er who put in the effort to obtain the position of a fifth-grade lang zhong in the Ministry of Revenue.
No mother liked a guniang who recommended herself to her son. Jing guifei wasn't an exception. Even though this guniang was a relative of her maternal family, and even though she was only a guifei and didn't have the power to make any edicts, it was enough to reprimand the clan for some bad things. Otherwise, why would the previous guilty fei have the crime of not being able to control the clan?
Ding mama was the most respected person in front of Jing guifei. When she sat in the green carriage to Wei lang zhong's fu, the servants in the fu were very courteous to her. Even Wei lang zhong personally came to the door to greet her and led her to the main hall that was used to receive honored guests.
Ding mama politely bowed to Wei lang zhong and rejected the gifts that Wei lang zhong had sent up: "Wei da ren, this old one has come today to pass on some words from guifei niangniang."
"What does guifei niangniang have to say?" Wei lang zhong stood from his seat and raised his hands in the direction of the palace, "Please, mama, tell me."
Ding mama looked at the obedient Wei lang zhong and sighed on his behalf. Niangniang's distantly related biao ge was an honest person. It was a pity that he had such a troublesome di wife. He himself was just a little fifth-grade lang zhong in the Ministry of Revenue. It looked like he didn't have much of a chance to climb up.
She bent her waist as she said: "A few days ago, niangniang heard some bad rumors and was very worried. She sent this old one to tell da ren." She raised her head to look at Wei lang zhong and saw that the other's face was full of worry. Clearly, he didn't know what had happened, "Niangniang said that Wei furen's conduct was lacking and that she didn't teach her daughter well. was afraid that the reputation of the Wei Clan would be affected. She hoped that da ren would advise her."
After hearing Ding mama's words, Wei lang zhong's face turned green and then white. After a while, he managed to squeeze out a few words: "Ding mama, please, tell me clearly, what my wife and that unfilial daughter has done?"
Ding mama looked sympathetically at him and made Wei. Lang zhong bowed and looked. and said and bowshe looked. she bow Lang zhong. Wei. and bowed and bowa. and she said.
Wei lang zhong didn't know what was going on but he understood that guifei niangniang was dissatisfied with his family. His heart was already in turmoil. After he saw Ding mama onto the carriage, he turned and walked towards the inner yard.
Because he was only a fifth-grade lang zhong, even though the fu was only a two-level house, it was in a good location. This was because the other had given him face for His Highness Duan Wang. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to live in such a location. The location of residence in Jing City was a symbol of status. Even if one had the money, they might not be able to buy it.
When he entered the yard, he saw Qin shi scolding a servant. His face darkened as he motioned for the punished servant to leave. He asked coldly: "What did you do a few days ago?"
"What did I do?" Wei Qin shi's expression wasn't good as she looked at Wei lang zhong. She raised her voice and said, "Wei Ru Zhi, speak clearly. What did I do to make you put on such a face?"
The servants at the side saw the situation and carefully retreated to the corner, trying their best to bury their heads even lower.
"If you didn't do anything, guifei niangniang would send someone to express her dissatisfaction," Wei Ru Zhi's face was black as he looked at Wei Qin shi's shrewish appearance, "These years, I have tolerated you at every turn, but I can't allow you to destroy the reputation of my Wei Family."
"Wei Family?" Wei Qin shi sneered. Pointing at Wei Ru Zhi, she scolded, "You think you are so important. Look at how the guifei niangniang likes you. That branch is one family. What are we? You are yelling at me now because you want to show off that your Wei Family has a guifei niangniang. My Qin Family is a scholarly family. I don't know how many niangniang came from our ancestors. I don't need you to show off in front of me!"
"Stupid woman!" Wei Ru Zhi was so angry he slapped Wei Qin shi's face. His personality had always been soft. This time, he must have been angry, "Why did I marry a woman like you? If you really feel the Qin Family is good, I will fulfill your wish. A divorce letter doesn't take much effort. Don't talk about the Qin Family in front of me all day. I didn't say it in the past because I thought it wasn't easy for you to have children. Since you don't want face when I give you it, I don't need to give you face. You can go to the main Qin Family and complain. See if they recognize you. You are just a distant branch, do you really think you are someone! "
Wei Qin shi opened her mouth but couldn't say a word. She was used to being domineering. Usually, Wei Ru Zhi would give in to her. Now that the other said she would write a divorce letter for her, she felt as though a basin of ice water had been poured into her brain. She was both angry and afraid.
As though he had endured enough, Wei Ru Zhi grew angrier as he spoke. "Now that my children are all grown up, you don't have to worry that I will mistreat them. I won't marry again in the future. If you agree, I will immediately give you the divorce letter so that you won't feel wronged."
"Wei Ru Zhi, I gave birth to your children and paid so much. Now you want to kick me away?!" Wei Qin shi found a reason and instantly shrieked, "Now that my children are all grown up, you don't need me anymore. You despise this old woman, it won't be so easy!" Finishing, she reached out to grab Wei Ru Zhi's face.
Wei Ru Zhi pushed her away. He coldly said: "If it wasn't for my children, I would have divorced you a long time ago. If you don't want me to divorce you, then stay in the fu. Your Qin Family is a scholarly family, you can afford to lose face. My Wei Family is a small family and can't afford to lose face." Finishing, he flicked his sleeve and left.
Wei Qin shi sat on the ground, tears and snot smeared all over her face. After crying for a long time, she used her sleeve to wipe her tears. Thinking about what her husband had just said, she understood that Jing guifei was displeased that she had gone to Duan Wang Fu. She said hatefully: "You really think that only your son is respected in the world. When another wang ye succeeds, let's see how arrogant you can be!"
Wei Ran Shuang stood behind the window and watched her father and mother quarrel in the yard. She couldn't help but choke out a sound. Father was usually gentle but today, he had quarreled so badly with her mother. Thinking that it was because of her that it had become like this, she couldn't help but cry even harder.
"Guniang, don't cry," Her yahuan carefully urged, "If furen saw this, she would be worried again."
Wei Ran Shuang paused. Her eyes widened as she looked at Wei Qin shi standing in the yard. Her mother's appearance was extremely disheveled. Father had humiliated her mother in front of the servants. How would her mother manage the houyuan in the future?
"It's all my fault. Otherwise, it wouldn't have become like this," Her tears flowed down again.
The news that Wei Qin shi had been reprimanded by Wei Ru Zhi hadn't spread outside but Jing guifei knew. She understood that this was Wei Ru Zhi's attitude and determination. She listened to the messenger repeat and nodded: "It should have been like this a long time ago. Ben gong's distant tang xiong's personality is just too soft." Finishing, she turned to Qu Qing Ju sitting below, "You don't have to worry about this. Wei Ran Shuang, that yatou, won't be able to enter the fu."
Qu Qing Ju blinked. A beat later, she responded: "Thank you mufei. Erxi had been worried that if she entered the fu, I wouldn't know how to treat her."
"How to treat her, she's just a qie," Jing guifei took a sip of tea, her tone slightly cold, "A person like this wants to enter the wang fei. She really thinks that anything can serve my son."
Qu Qing Ju slightly lowered her head, indicating that she didn't understand the words.
Raising her head to see her erxifu's obedient state, Jing guifei's lips twitched. If she was smarter, she would have said some pretty words at this time to make her happy. Why was she, this erxifu, just sitting there?
"You've been married to Heng'er for almost half a year," Jing guifei somehow changed the topic, "Ben gong was your age when I entered the palace. I only had Heng'er for almost four years after entering the palace. At the time, the position of the fetus wasn't good and it took a lot of effort to give birth. The mama that delivered the birth said that it was fortunate that ben gong was almost twenty when I gave birth and my bones had developed. Otherwise, it would have been one corpse and two lives. After so many years, even though I can't have another child, but Heng'er is filial, ben gong doesn't have any regrets. "
Qu Qing Ju paused. She hadn't thought that Jing guifei would say such a thing to her. She looked at the beautiful matron in front of her. She always acted high and mighty, but her words were filled with a mother's affection for her son.
She wanted her and her son to have a harmonious relationship, hinting that she didn't have to be in a hurry to have a child. No matter if there was any care for her or not, but at least she hoped that she would have a good child and raise it well.
Pondering these words, maybe she really was comforting her, telling her not to be in a hurry to have a child, and to let nature take its course?
"Mufei must have suffered a lot raising wang ye," Qu Qing Ju smiled as she remarked, "No wonder wang ye always thinks of mufei. He even knows what mufei likes and doesn't like when he eats desserts."
The smile on Jing guifei's face became more pronounced. Even her tone was tinged with mirth: "As a mother, all she wants is for the child to be well. She doesn't ask for anything else."
Qu Qing Ju thought of her deceased parents. When they were alive, they protected her like she was a pearl. When she wanted to learn to dance, they supported her with everything they had. They also treasured the pictures of her performances. But after they left, no one treated her as well as they did.
Seeing her erxifu's expression was slightly downcast, Jing guifei remembered that erxifu's birth mother had died early. For some reason, she felt that her state was slightly pitiful. She patted the back of her hand: "Recently, ben gong's little kitchen has made a new kind of desserts. Ben gong thinks that the taste isn't bad. You should try it." Finishing, she had someone go to the kitchen to bring out the desserts.
Qu Qing Ju raised her head to look at Jing guifei. She smiled as she replied: "Thank you mufei."
Jing guifei looked at her watery little eyes and smiled, remarking: "Such a small matter, there's no need to thank me. You brought so many things into the palace today. Mufei treating you with a plate of desserts is enough."
"Mufei's food is delicious. If it wasn't that I was afraid of people gossiping, erxi would come every day to beg for food." Qu Qing Ju furrowed her brows, "The food that the fu's kitchen makes, it never tastes as good as mufei's."
The corner of Jing guifei's mouth twitched. You disliked the wang fu so much in front of popo. Have you thought about ben gong's feelings, haven't you thought about ben gong's son's feelings? Even if you were purposefully trying to curry favor, that was fine. But this sincere gaze made her believe that this erxifu of hers really disliked the wang fu's kitchen.
"It's fine. Ben gong will let someone make a copy of the list of dishes and desserts that you like and send it to the fu." Jing guifei smiled as she spoke. She just didn't want people to think that the chefs of Duan Wang Fu were useless.
If she knew that with such a stupid erxifu, she wouldn't have felt such heartache!
