Chapter 425 Negotiating Conditions
Mingzhu's expression showed contempt: "Miss, you are the master, but you have lived in the countryside for many years, and the most prominent family you have met so far is only the Yuan family in Taizhou Prefecture. There is still much to learn. There are many of them, and they need to be cultivated slowly before they can be a good mistress of the house. Just like these broken jars you brought from the countryside, the third master and the third wife are willing to spoil you, but when they arrive at the uncle's house, they should change Bad habits have to be changed."
"I have the final say whether you want to be a good mistress of the Hou family. If you are not happy to see me like this, I can let you know how a country girl who has lived in the country for thirteen years can be a good wife at a wedding. What kind of outrageous things could you do?" Wei Ruo smiled.
"Miss, what do you mean?" Mingzhu looked at Wei Ruo confused.
"You want me to marry an old man to benefit the family, and you want to restrict me in every way and train and discipline me like a prisoner? The rabbit will bite people when it is anxious. If it makes me angry, I will go crazy to everyone. Let's see if the wedding can go ahead and the Xuanping Hou Mansion still wants me."
Mingzhu's eyes widened and she looked at Wei Ruo in disbelief.
"What are you thinking about? Do you still want to make a big wedding?" Mingzhu seemed to have heard something horrifying.
Wei Ruo asked back: "Isn't it possible? Don't you know that someone else can do this in the uncle's house? Then I can tell you that that year, Widow Li from Mojiazha was forced by her brother to remarry. She She refused to marry, so she chopped up an old hen with a knife in front of the people who came to propose marriage, and threatened that if anyone dared to let her get married again, she would chop them up!" "Do you know if you make a big fuss
? If you have a wedding, your life will be ruined! Let alone getting married, you won't even have a place to stay!" "Of course I know,
but when I ruin myself, I will also bring down the entire Wei family. I don't want anyone to be left behind if I don't like it. I don't know what punishment you, the one responsible for teaching me the rules, will receive when the time comes? Will you be beaten to death with a stick or sent out?" Wei Ruo said shocking words in a calm tone. .
Mingzhu was immediately dumbfounded and stared at Wei Ruo with a slightly dull expression.
Wei Ruo curled her lips and said Youyou: "Now the Wei family wants me to work for their interests. If you want me to cooperate, just follow my rules." Mingzhu looked at
Wei Ruo angrily: "I will take care of everyone ." Miss, tell the old man and the old lady exactly what you just said!"
"Go ahead." Wei Ruo didn't mind at all.
"Humph!" Mingzhu snorted, and then walked out of the room angrily.
Wei Ruo waited calmly in the room for Mingzhu to move reinforcements.
Although she arrived at Uncle Zhongyi's Mansion in the capital much later than in the original work, the temperament of the people in this mansion has not changed.
Just like this Pearl, she is not simply arrogant and arrogant. As a servant, she has nothing to do and can't get along with her master. She has her own purpose in doing so.
She was expressing her loyalty to Wei Qingwan and wanted to teach Wei Qingwan a lesson.
Although it sounds nice on the surface, she and Wei Qingwan both married into high families, but anyone can compare that her future as the principal wife of Marquis Xuanping is far inferior to that of the concubine of Prince Yu who was granted a marriage by the emperor. Wei Qingwan.
She, Mrs. Hou, sounds like a wife, but in fact it is hard to say whether she can gain a firm foothold in the Xuanping Hou Mansion.
The children born to Marquis Xuanping's first two wives were not economical, but were notoriously ruthless. When Marquis Xuanping passes away, her so-called stepmother still doesn't know what kind of life she will live.
Wei Qingwan is different. Even if she is a concubine, she is the concubine of Prince Yu who is most likely to become the heir. If he wishes to ascend the throne in the future, his concubine will at least be named the fourth concubine, or even a noble concubine. If he wishes to ascend the throne in the future, A good mother and a good son still have the opportunity to go further.
Of course it is clear which one is more important.
Nanny Li, who wanted to go back to the palace, often sent certain signals to the people below, such as the sisters' discord, for example, Wei Qingwan wanted to choose a few maids to take to Prince Yu's palace, etc., which made Mingzhu, who thought she was smart, pay the price so quickly. Take action.
Similarly, Wei Ruo also knew something about the old man and the old lady, so when she said those words to Mingzhu, she had already thought of the subsequent countermeasures. Not long after, Grandma Jin came.
"Miss, please come over, Madam."
Aunt Jin came from Taizhou Mansion with Wei Ruo, and they had many contacts along the way.
Her attitude towards Wei Ruo was relatively cold from the beginning, because she and Grandma Li were friends and had always had a good relationship.
Her bad attitude towards Wei Ruo was partly to vent her anger on Grandma Li.
But she only dared to look at Wei Ruo at certain times, but she didn't dare to do much, and was much more restrained than Granny Li.
"Okay." Wei Ruo had no objection, got up and followed Grandma Jin to Shou'an Hall.
Xiumei followed Wei Ruo closely, looking a little nervous, fearing that the old lady would deal with Wei Ruo later.
At this time, the Shou'an Hall was very clean. The old man was not here, and the other children and grandchildren were not here. There were only the old lady and the servants serving her.
After Grandma Jin led Wei Ruo in, the old lady greeted Wei Ruo to sit next to her with a kind face.
"Ruo'er, come to me."
Wei Ruo walked over very calmly and sat down next to the old lady.
Mrs. Wei looked at Wei Ruo carefully again, her eyes were kind and pleased: "I heard from Aunt Jin that you told Mingzhu that if you can't have a happy life, you will pretend to be crazy and make trouble when you get married. Destroy the wedding?"
"Yes." Wei Ruo admitted frankly.
Hearing this, Mrs. Wei looked at Wei Ruo for a while, and then sighed slightly.
"Indeed, it is difficult for you to learn the rules. What's more, judging from your performance in Taizhou Prefecture, you are a general person and don't really need to learn the rules. It's just that your grandfather is not very reassured, so he sent Mingzhu Come over and teach you."
"Can grandma agree to my terms and let me live more comfortably in the house during this time?" Wei Ruo asked.
“我会想办法同你祖父说说，会尽可能地给你安排好，让你能开开心心地出嫁。”魏老夫人不敢把话说得太满。
“好。”魏若答应道。
魏老夫人笑笑，紧接着对魏若说：“你是个聪慧有福气的孩子，自从你来了魏家，家里就好事连连。你父亲好几次逢凶化吉，还节节高升，你大哥又高中举人，你父亲来信上还说连一向不服管教的屹霖都变得听话懂事上进了。”
魏若没接话，只是安静地听着。
魏老夫人又接着说道：“还有你之前送祖母的那些礼物祖母都收到了，非常喜欢，你有心了。”
