Chapter 423 Do not engage in unnecessary struggle
Because of that incident, Wei Yilin hasn't given Wei Qingwan a good look all this time.
"The big brother's time was an accident, and the big sister's time was also an accident. There are no accidents every time. I am young and not an idiot!"
Wei Yilin pouted and pouted.
Wei Qingwan's expression was ugly and she was about to open her mouth to explain again, when she saw the second wife, Mrs. Bai, who was sitting across from her, looking at her, obviously noticing the whispering between her and Wei Yilin.
Wei Qingwan hurriedly 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, and wait for Wei Qingruo to conflict with the two elders.
Wei Qingwan didn't believe that Wei Qingruo, who was used to arrogance in the general's mansion, would calmly accept such an arrangement from the second elder.
Old Master Wei looked at Wei Ruo, saw her expression was naturally calm, and asked, "What do you think of this marriage?"
"Very good." Wei Ruo said calmly.
She actually agreed? Both Yun Shi and Wei Qingwan were shocked by Wei Ruo's answer.
The arrangement of the old man and the old lady is something that even Yun can't accept! She actually accepted?
The old man also showed a look of surprise, he was ready to talk to this granddaughter.
"You really feel good?" The old man confirmed to Wei Ruo.
"Didn't Grandpa just tell you the stakes? 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 the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Now that the grandparents are in charge, what can I object to?" Wei Ruo said calmly.
It's no wonder that there is no objection. If Lord Xuanping has one foot in the coffin and he has no grown-up heirs, she can consider marrying him, but unfortunately not.
But if she wants to destroy this marriage and make it impossible for the Wei family to use her as a bargaining chip in exchange for benefits for the Wei family, they must first let them relax their vigilance against her.
In ancient times and with such a strict and well-regulated lord’s family, it is not a wise choice to directly face up to the family without a bargaining chip.
If Wei has suffered from this kind of thing once, he will not suffer a second time.
Seeing that Wei Ruo accepted it so calmly, Yun's brows frowned even tighter.
Wei Qingwan has a suspicious look on her face, this is completely inconsistent with Wei Qingruo's style of doing things, what is she thinking?
Old Master Wei was very happy and said: "Ruoer, you are really smart and general, you are worthy of being the daughter of my Wei family."
Mrs. Bai came up to grab Wei Ruo's hand very enthusiastically and said, "Niece, you are really very sensible. Your grandparents carefully selected this marriage for you. You can marry at ease, and you will be prosperous and rich." Enjoy it endlessly."
Wei Ruo looked at her calmly and didn't respond.
Wei Minghong said with a silly smile: "Niece, don't worry, the Marquis of Xuanping has prepared a generous dowry for you, and you will definitely get married in a splendid manner."
Moshi followed suit gently: "You don't have to worry about everything at home, everything will be arranged for you."
Wei Ruo nodded slightly, and seemed 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.
She is willing to cooperate obediently, which can save them a lot of trouble.
After talking about Wei Ruo, the old man and the old lady turned their attention to Wei Yichen.
Old Master Wei and Mrs. Wei attach great importance to it. Although a daughter in the family can bring a certain amount of glory to the family, it is different from the man in the family who has passed the imperial examination and entered the court as an official.
No matter how much help a woman brings to the family, it still needs the support of the man in the family.
Facing the elders' inquiries, Wei Yichen answered them one by one, with a calm expression, neither sad nor happy.
Old Master Wei is very satisfied with his manner and speech, and the revival of their Wei family is hopeful!
After Mrs. Wei finished asking, Mrs. Wei asked about the disasters on the road when several people came.
"By the way, I just heard from the second child that there were thieves on the way you came?" Mrs. Wei asked concerned.
"Yes." Wei Yichen said.
"Aren't you all injured?" Mrs. Wei asked again.
"Don't worry, grandma, we are all fine. Ruoer's wit saved us from danger." Wei Yichen replied.
"It's fine, it's fine. I've suffered a lot along the way, it's really hard for you." Mrs. Wei said with concern, "The past two years have not been peaceful, and it's best for you to come back to the capital. Don't worry. Only the third child is still fighting outside, which makes me very worried."
Speaking, the old lady said to Yun again: "Third daughter-in-law, if you have a chance, you should also persuade the third son, and let him try to transfer back to the capital if he finds an opportunity."
"Yes, the daughter-in-law will." Yun was a little absent-minded, still immersed in the marriage arranged by the second elder for Wei Ruo.
An hour later, because it was getting late, the old lady told everyone to go back to rest.
Wei Ruo walked out of Shou'an Hall without saying a word, and as soon as she walked out the door, Mrs. Yun grabbed her.
"Ruo'er, tell mother the truth, do you really agree with the marriage arranged by your grandparents?" Yun asked again.
Wei Ruo asked back: "Isn't this what you expect to see, mother?"
As he spoke, Wei Ruo withdrew his hand from Yun's.
"When did I say that I want you to marry an older man as a continuation, who are you as a mother? Are you selling your daughter for glory?"
"Then let me ask you what if I said in this room today that I don't want to marry? Can it change their minds?" Wei Ruo asked Yun.
Mr. Yun fell silent.
Wei Ruo chuckled: "I said here today that I don't want to, but I just listened to their reprimand, and nothing changed in the end. Why should I do such a laborious and unprofitable thing?"
After speaking, Wei Ruo walked away without looking back.
Yun Shi looked at Wei Ruoyuan's back with a complicated expression.
###
Another place in the capital.
Under the moonlight, in the courtyard, a man sits at a stone table.
His complexion is stern and his eyes are cold, like the moonlight above his head.
Tall and aloof figure, with an appearance that strangers should not enter.
"Master, Missy and the others have arrived in the capital." Xiao Bei walked over to report to the man.
And this man is none other than Wei Jinyi, who disappeared for a long time after feigning death.
"A little later than expected."
"Yes, according to the news I just found out, Missy and the others encountered some accidents on the way here, so they were delayed for some time." Xiaobeihui reported.
"What kind of accident?" Wei Jinyi's cold face changed.
