"What conditions?"
In the Wang family meeting hall, Wang Kui couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Wang Yu finally agreed to Wang Renyi's adoption to the second room. But after hearing the second half of Wang Yu's words, Wang Kui's heart started to rise again, and he couldn't help but ask.
Wang Yu said with a serious face: "Wang Renyi violated the clan rules last year and was imprisoned in Siguo Yuan by the old man. He was not allowed to step out of the courtyard for the rest of his life. Although he was adopted into the second room this time, the mistakes he made before are still there, and the punishment will still be there. Here! After the adoption ceremony is completed, he must return to Siguo Courtyard and continue to stay!"
As soon as these words came out, Wang Renyi, who had just stood up from the ground, couldn't help but have a flash of panic in his eyes. Then he turned to look at Wang Kui, because helping him get out of Siguo Court was the condition that Wang Kui had promised him in the first place!
Wang Renyi didn't need to say anything, Wang Kui retorted at this time: "The head of the family is wrong. Since Renyi has adopted the second wife, his life is equivalent to starting over. He has a new name, and he will be the second wife from now on." Wang Xinyuan! It was Wang Renyi who made the mistake last year, what does it have to do with Wang Xinyuan? So imprisonment is out of the question!"
"That's right! Since Renyi has been adopted by me, he will be my Wang Hong's son from now on. The mistakes he made before should be wiped out!"
Wang Hong also spoke in agreement at this time.
Wang Yu and Princess Tong'an both frowned. They didn't expect Wang Kui and Wang Hong to be so shameless. Of course, at this time, they also understood why Wang Renyi wanted to adopt a second wife so actively. Obviously, he wanted to Use this incident to clear your name, escape from imprisonment and punishment, and regain your freedom!
This is a good calculation!
But they didn't understand why Wang Kui spared no effort to help Wang Renyi. Is it just because the second wife had no heirs
Princess Tongan felt that things would not be so simple!
"Haha! The second elder is so calculating. He even thought of Renyi's new name in advance! Wang Xinyuan, are you hoping that he can start his life again and have a good start?"
Wang Yu didn't speak, but Princess Tong'an couldn't help but speak first. She first looked at Wang Renyi, then looked at Wang Kui, and said with a sarcastic face: "First, in the name of the second wife having no heirs, I request the master to transfer Wang Renyi to the throne." Adopted to the second room, and then used this to clear Wang Renyi's charges and release him from prison. This is one step after another. The second elder planned it well!"
"Haha! What did the princess say? What calculation? What plan? I don't know anything about it! Letting Renyi adopt the second wife is really because I am old, and I don't want the second wife to lose their popularity in my hands, but this matter is indeed for the head of the family. I’ve cut off my love, I thank my master for letting me do it!”
After being exposed in public as a secret plot, Wang Kui didn't show any panic on his face. He stood up and bowed his hands to Princess Tong'an and Wang Yu. He sounded emotional, but in fact he was talking about other things.
As expected of an old fox, ordinary people really can’t learn this kind of psychological quality and this kind of city!
"As for Renyi, after adopting the second wife, he started a new life. I think this is reasonable and reasonable. Why do the head of the family and the princess bother to hold on to the child's past mistakes? After all, although the child was born to Cui, After all, he was once your biological flesh and blood, the head of the family!"
After a moment of pause, Wang Yu continued.
The old guy's words can be described as sinister and arrogant. At the end of the sentence, he did not forget to mention, "Although this child was born to the Cui family," he reminded everyone that Wang Renyi was a bastard, so he would be killed by Wang Yu. "Abuse"!
Wang Yu suddenly became so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. Sure enough, all the elders in the room looked at Wang Yu thoughtfully at this time, and they all still had expressions of hesitation on speaking.
"Hmph! If you make a mistake, you are making a mistake. You can't escape the blame even if you change your name. When Wang Renyi violated the clan rules, I managed to save his life. But now the second elder is using Wang Renyi's identity as an excuse. What kind of peace of mind do you have?"
Wang Yu couldn't say it because he was afraid of affecting the relationship between the eldest house and the other houses, but Princess Tong'an didn't have so many scruples. Now she is a transcendent existence in the Wang family, and no one dares to do anything to her, so She snorted coldly and said.
Wang Kui cupped his hands and said: "Princess, why did you say this? I am just thinking about my future grandson, and just want to win some freedom for him. What is wrong with this? All the brothers are also watching, I have never treated the head of the family If you have any bad thoughts, I just pray that the head of the house can take pity on the second wife. If the head of the house thinks that I said something wrong, you can punish me, as long as it doesn't involve Xinyuan!"
The reason why he dared to act so righteous was not because he loved Wang Renyi so much, but because he concluded that Wang Yu did not dare to do anything to him!
The old guy is trying his best to be pitiful at this moment. The weak are always pitiable. Only in this way can he resonate with the other three elders and make the other three elders stand on the same front as him! At this time, as long as Wang Yu refutes him forcefully, people will think that Wang Yu is taking over his identity as the head of the family and suppressing the second room. The other three elders will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it, because today they are suppressing the second room, who knows what will happen in the future. Will it be the turn of the third or fourth bedroom
They still understand the meaning of lips dying and teeth cold!
How could Wang Yu not know Wang Kui’s intentions? At this moment, he couldn't help but curse in his heart that this old man was really difficult to deal with. After a pause, he calmed down and said:
"The second elder was joking, you are the elder, how dare I accuse you? I just want to discuss the matter with you! Back then, Wang Renyi colluded with bandits in Chang'an City with the intention of murdering the wife of Marquis Yong'an, which attracted Qin, Cheng, and The four princes Niu and Yuchi led their troops to support the Marquis of Yong'an.
Afterwards, Wang Renyi was arrested, and the Holy One wanted to behead him in accordance with the Laws of the Tang Dynasty. However, I went to the capital in person to plead with the Holy One and the Marquis of Yong'an, and promised to imprison him in his ancestral land for life. Only then was he able to save his life! Now, if you pardon his sentence of imprisonment just because he wants to adopt his second wife, second elder, how do you ask me and the Wang family to explain to the Holy Master? How to explain to Marquis Yongan? "
After Wang Yu finished speaking, all the elders in the room couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "Yes! The punishment of benevolence and righteousness is determined by the Holy One. If it is lifted rashly, I'm afraid it will offend the Holy One!"
"That's right!"
"But...if the punishment is not lifted, wouldn't Renyi really be imprisoned for the rest of his life?"
Seeing Wang Yu moving out Li Er and Li Zexuan, Wang Kui seemed to have been prepared for it. He said calmly: "Master, Xinyuan did make a mistake at the beginning, but the wife of Marquis Yongan was not harmed at first. Secondly, the child has been imprisoned for more than a year, and this punishment is almost over. Thirdly, Xinyuan is now the second wife. According to custom, the adoptive person should completely abandon his past identity. The head of the family really insists on it. Imprison him for life and completely cut off the incense of his second wife?"
Wang Yu said without changing his expression: "I have no intention of cutting off the incestuous relationship between the second wife and the second wife. Besides, I have agreed to adopt Wang Renyi to the second wife. It only restricts his freedom! If his freedom is restored, I will offend His Majesty and Yong'an." Hou, do you think the second elder thinks the Wang family can afford this consequence?"
At this time, Wang Kui finally couldn't help but said angrily: "Humph! The master keeps saying that he is afraid of offending His Majesty. According to me, the one the master is most afraid of offending is Marquis Yong'an, right? A few days ago, the master agreed because of a letter from Marquis Yong'an. For the eldest son of the Wang family to marry a commoner's daughter is simply a disgrace to the Wang family! Has the head of the family considered that the Wang family will become a laughing stock among the aristocratic families?"
At this time, Wang Kui brought up Wang Renbiao's matter, simply to express Wang Yu's intention of "only allowing state officials to set fires, and not allowing people to light lamps." At the same time, he also vaguely intended to threaten Wang Yu with this matter.
"Hmph! Could it be that the second elder thinks that the current Wang family can offend the Marquis of Yong'an?"
Wang Yu's eyes turned cold and he said coldly without mercy.
The atmosphere in the meeting hall suddenly became tense.
Wang Kui frowned and said: "Ha~! The head of the family thinks too highly of Marquis Yong'an! Our Wang family is also a thousand-year-old clan, how can we be afraid of a mere Marquis?"
The other three elders also nodded secretly, obviously they also agreed with Wang Kui's point of view.
Wang Yu sneered and said: "The Cui family thought so before, but the Cui family's house in the capital was smashed by the people, and their ancestral house in Guancheng was directly destroyed by the imperial army!"
Wang Kui said harshly: "The Cui family was destroyed mainly because of the strong military power of the imperial court, and it has little to do with the Marquis of Yong'an, right?"
"Hmph! You are so stubborn and a frog in the well!"
At this time, Wang Yu no longer cared about remaining polite on the surface, and he angrily said: "This cousin's wedding, Fan Yang's Lu family and Zhaojun's Li family both sent their eldest sons to congratulate them. It's funny that there is no one here at the ancestral home. People come to send congratulatory gifts!
On the second day after cousin's marriage, Lu Chengqing and Li Jingxuan, who learned that cousin's wife was Li Zexuan's adopted sister, took people directly to Lantian County to attend the fund-raising meeting held by Yong'an Marquis today!
I'm afraid I don't need to say why they are like this, you can guess it, right? Even the two late-born juniors can clearly see the value of Yong'an Hou, why can't the second elder see it clearly
Nowadays, apart from the royal family, only three of the seven major aristocratic families remain. The Lu family and the Li family are obviously forming a good relationship with the Marquis of Yong'an, but our Wang family is trying to push the Marquis of Yong'an to the opposition of the family at this moment. What is this? It's not a wise move. Elders, please weigh it yourself! "
After Wang Yu said this, everyone in the hall was surprised, especially the third elder, fourth elder and fifth elder. At this time, they were a little shaken! Regardless of their private fights with Wang Yu, no matter what, they are part of the Wang family. Only when the Wang family is well can they live a good life!
"Qizhou is hundreds of miles away from Lantian County. The head of the family just left Qizhou and returned to Taiyuan yesterday. Why can we know today whether the eldest son of the Lu and Li families went to Lantian County or attended a fund-raising meeting?"
Wang Kui was also a little panicked at this time, but his eyes suddenly lit up because he caught the loophole in Wang Yu's words!
"this… "
Wang Yu couldn't help but be speechless. He had indeed not received the exact information yet. These were just his guesses.
"Maybe this is just the owner's guess?"
Wang Kui smiled slightly, then changed the topic and said: "No matter what, I just want a grandson to carry on the family line for the second family and inherit the incense of the second family. I have no intention of conflicting with the head of the family. Although Xinyuan is guilty, I hope the head of the family can be accommodating. One or two, I promise that I will change this kid's appearance in the future, and I will never let him leave Taiyuan City even half a step in his life!
Taiyuan City is the territory of the Wang family. In this case, as long as a few of us don't tell it, the Holy Emperor and Marquis Yong'an will not know about it, let alone blame it. What does the head of the family think? Even if the Holy One finds out about this and is punished, I am willing to shoulder the responsibility and will never bring trouble to the family! I hope my eldest brother and the head of the family can understand my hard work! "
Unexpectedly, Wang Kui, who had already grasped Wang Yu's leverage, took the initiative to give in and pretended to be pitiful!
In other words, he is retreating in order to advance!
