Chapter 423: Don’t engage in unnecessary fights.
Because of that incident, Wei Yilin has not looked good on Wei Qingwan during this period.
"What happened to my eldest brother was an accident, and what happened to my eldest sister was also an accident. It is always an accident. I am young and not stupid!"
Wei Yilin pouted with a stern face.
Wei Qingwan's face turned ugly, and she was about to open her mouth to explain again, when she saw the second lady Bai, who was sitting opposite, looking towards her, obviously noticing the whispers between her and Wei Yilin.
Wei Qingwan quickly fell silent, not daring to say any more.
Now is not the time to argue with Yilin about that matter. She just needs to wait and see what happens, waiting for Wei Qingruo to have a conflict with the two elders.
Wei Qingwan didn't believe that Wei Qingruo, who was used to being arrogant in the general's mansion, would calmly accept such an arrangement.
Old Mrs. Wei looked at Wei Ruo and saw that her expression was naturally calm, and asked, "What does Ruo'er think of this marriage?" "
Very good." Wei Ruo said calmly.
She actually said yes? Wei Ruo's answer shocked both Yun and Wei Qingwan.
Even the Yun family couldn't accept this arrangement between the old man and the old lady! She actually accepted it?
The old man also showed a surprised look. He was ready to talk to his granddaughter.
"Do you really think it's good?" The old man confirmed to Wei Ruo.
"Didn't my grandfather tell me the stakes just now? I think what he said makes sense." Wei Ruo replied.
At this moment, everyone looked at Wei Ruo with curious eyes.
"Ruo'er, have you really thought it through?" Yun looked at Wei Ruo with worried eyes.
"It doesn't matter if I think clearly or not. Didn't my mother say that marriage is decided by the parents and the matchmaker? Now my grandparents make the decision, so why should I have any objection?" Wei Ruo said calmly.
It would be strange if she had no objection. If Marquis Xuanping had one foot in the coffin and he had no adult children, she could consider marrying him, but unfortunately not.
But if she wants to ruin this marriage and make it impossible for the Wei family to use her as a bargaining chip in exchange for benefits, she must first make them relax their vigilance about her.
In ancient times, with such strict rules and regulations, it was not a wise choice to head the family head-on without any leverage.
If Wei suffered this kind of thing once, he would not suffer it a second time.
Seeing Wei Ruo accepting it so calmly, Yun's brows furrowed even more.
Wei Qingwan looked suspicious. This was completely inconsistent with Wei Qingruo's behavior. What was she planning?
Mr. Wei was very happy and said: "Ruo'er, you are really smart and knowledgeable. You are worthy of being the daughter of my Wei family."
Mrs. Bai came up and grabbed Wei Ruo's hand very enthusiastically and said: "My eldest niece, you are really too sensible. . Your grandparents carefully selected this marriage for you, so feel free to marry and you will enjoy endless glory and wealth."
Wei Ruo looked at her calmly and did not respond.
Wei Minghong said with a naive smile: "Don't worry, eldest niece, Marquis Xuanping has prepared a generous betrothal gift for you, and you will get married in glory." Mrs. Mo then chimed in gently: "You don't need anything else
. Don't worry, everything at home will be arranged for you."
Wei Ruo nodded slightly, seeming to really have no objection to this arrangement.
Wei Ruo's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations, but it was also what everyone wanted to see.
Her willingness to cooperate obediently can save them a lot of trouble.
After talking about Wei Ruo, the old man and the old lady focused their attention on Wei Yichen.
Wei Yichen is the only one among the three generations of the Wei family who has passed the examination.
Mr. Wei and Mrs. Wei attach great importance to it. Although a daughter in the family can marry well, it can bring a certain amount of glory to the family, but it is different from a man in the family who has passed the imperial examination and entered the court to become an official. No matter how much help a woman brings to the family, she still needs the support of the men in the family.
Facing the elders' questions, Wei Yichen answered them one by one with a calm expression, neither sad nor happy.
Mr. Wei was very satisfied with his demeanor and conversation. There was hope for the revival of their Wei family!
After Mr. Wei finished his questions, Mrs. Wei asked about the disasters that happened on the road when several people came.
"By the way, I just heard from the second brother that you were met with thieves on the way here?" Madam Wei asked with concern.
"Yes." Wei Yichen said.
"Are you all not injured?" Mrs. Wei asked again.
"Don't worry, grandma, we are all fine. Ruo'er's wit saved us from danger." Wei Yichen replied.
"As long as it's okay, it's okay. I've had a lot of hardships along the way. It's really hard for you." Madam Wei said with concern, "It's been a rough two years outside. It's best for you to come back to the capital. I'll do the same." Don't worry. Only the third child is still fighting outside, which makes me very worried."
After that, the old lady said to Yun: "The third child's daughter-in-law, if you have the chance, you can also persuade the third child and let him look for opportunities. Try to be transferred back to the capital as soon as possible."
"Yes, my daughter-in-law will do it." Yun was a little absent-minded, still immersed in the marriage arranged by her elders for Wei Ruo.
An hour later, because it was getting late, the old lady asked everyone to go back and rest.
Wei Ruo walked out of Shou'an Hall without saying a word. As soon as she walked out of the door, Mrs. Yun grabbed her.
"Ruo'er, tell me the truth, do you really agree to the marriage arranged by your grandparents?" Yun asked again.
Wei Ruo asked back, "Isn't this what you expected to see, mother?"
As she said that, Wei Ruo took her hand out of Yun's hand.
"When did I say that I wanted you to marry an older man? Who are you to be a mother? Are you selling your daughter for glory?" "Then let me ask you. I said in this room today that I don't want to marry
. So what? Can you change their minds?" Wei Ruo asked Yun.
Yunshi fell silent.
Wei Ruo chuckled softly: "I said I don't want to here today, but I just listened to their scolding me. In the end, nothing can be changed. Why should I do such a laborious and unforgettable thing?"
said After that, Wei Ruo walked away without looking back.
Yun looked at Wei Ruoyuan's retreating back with a complicated expression.
###
Another place in the capital.
Under the moonlight, in the courtyard, the man sat in front of the stone table.
His face was stern and his eyes were as cold as the moonlight above his head.
The tall and arrogant figure looked like he would not let strangers in.
"Master, the eldest lady and the others have arrived in the capital." Xiao Bei came over and reported to the man.
And this man is none other than Wei Jinyi, who faked his death and disappeared for a long time.
"It's a little later than expected."
"Yes, I just found out that the eldest lady and the others encountered some accidents on the way here, so they were delayed for some time." Xiao Beihui reported.
"What kind of accident?" Wei Jinyi's cold face changed.
