The Xu family sent Wei An an invitation, which was unexpected and worrying for the Wei family. Even Madam Xu herself felt that it was not appropriate. She frowned and repeatedly asked Master Xu what he meant: "She is so naughty, and you don't care about it? Girls should be chaste and quiet, otherwise how can they be noble?"
In fact, Madam Xu still had some resentment towards Uncle Xu. If Uncle Xu had not been so obsessed with climbing up the social ladder through her daughter's marriage, her daughter would not have lost face and been so embarrassed.
Uncle Xu lost even more patience. He loved his daughter very much. He had thought that this was just a small setback, which would pass and was not a big deal. He thought it was better to have less trouble than more, so he did not do anything. He just secretly instigated that Li San to make the Wei family have the same reputation as the Xu family.
However, no one expected that the Wei family would react so quickly and be so capable. By crying and making a fuss with Mrs. Li, who had a special status, they broke the image of the Li family as a weakling.
Everyone in the capital knows that Miss Wei was forced into a desperate situation by the Li family and had to divorce because she had no other options.
Everyone was also deeply impressed by the old lady of the Li family's tantrum. In addition, Mrs. Li had previously been in mourning for her father-in-law and husband, and was planning to be a widow. This made people feel that there was something wrong with the old lady's character, as she had forced such a virtuous woman into this state.
Uncle Xu was very upset because of this incident.
It’s not just because Li San was useless and couldn’t do anything to Wei Yuyou, but also because the Wei family was not affected at all.
Seeing that he remained silent, Madam Xu raised her voice in anger: "Master! Why did you send an invitation to Princess Shouning?! Don't you think being dragged down by her is not enough? Think about Zhenniang. She is being scolded like this and doesn't even dare to leave the house. I have tried my best, but she won't listen to me..."
In fact, it was getting better originally, but the last few times when Xu Zhenniang went out, someone would deliberately bring up the New Year's Eve incident in front of her, which made Xu Zhenniang more depressed than before. She became thinner and now her eyes are sunken.
Mr. Xu loved his daughter very much. Hearing this, he could not help but get angry: "I want to invite Princess Shouning here, isn't it just to make her feel better? What do you know?!"
Madam Xu couldn't help but sneer, "Of course I don't understand. We don't understand what you're thinking now, but you don't understand why you can't speak directly? We are husband and wife, what can't we say directly? You asked me to invite Princess Shouning, but you didn't tell me why. Am I asking her to upset Zhenniang? Zhenniang is already upset enough!"
Uncle Xu took a deep breath and slowly calmed down. He glanced at her and said sternly, "Father received a war report from Fujian some time ago."
Mrs. Xu stood there in a daze, not knowing why Mr. Xu said such a thing.
This is official business, what does it have to do with Guan inviting Wei An to be his guest
There was a strange silence in the room for a short while. After a long while, Uncle Xu looked at Madam Xu and said slowly, "Tell me, if someone tries to steal the Fujian Military Newspaper, how should we deal with it?!"
Madam Xu shuddered violently and looked suddenly at Uncle Xu. Seeing the murderous intent in his eyes, she was stunned and did not speak for a long time.
She began to feel cold from the soles of her feet, and after a moment she felt her body frozen stiff. She asked Uncle Xu with difficulty: "Is it... that you are doing this..."
Madam Xu was very scared, and said with some fear and disapproval: "Isn't it too much? After all, we can't be sure whether Princess Shouning played any role behind the scenes. At least we know that it was Prince Linjiang who looked down on our Zhenniang. Even if it was because of Shen Chen, we should find trouble with Shen Chen. Why should we make things difficult for the Wei family? Princess Shouning is just a child..."
Girls are always more vulnerable, and Mrs. Xu strongly disapproves of Mr. Xu taking out his anger on girls.
To be honest, what’s the point of Wei An dying
In fact, the things men do are rarely done by women.
If Wei An dies, will Shen Chen like the Xu family, which has formed an alliance with Princess Linjiang
Uncle Xu sneered, "Princess Shouning is a child, but isn't Zhenniang a child? When Shen Chen wanted to plot against Zhenniang, why didn't he think about the fact that Zhenniang is also our precious daughter?! Since he dared to do it, he must accept the revenge of others. He does it on the first day and I do it on the fifteenth day. Isn't this fair?"
It’s just that Shen Chen is more merciful. He only let Zhenniang lose some face. He was more straightforward and would rather give Wei An a quick death.
Madam Xu couldn't do anything about her husband. When her husband said that, she hesitated and sighed, "But even if that's the case, isn't the risk too great?"
Uncle Xu refuted flatly: "There is no risk. If she dares to come, I will find a way to prevent her from returning alive."
Mrs. Xu got goose bumps all over her body after hearing what he said. She wanted to say something, but Mr. Xu refused to listen and turned around to walk out.
Madam Xu had no choice but to chase after her, and hurriedly asked, "What about Zhenniang? If Zhenniang doesn't show up at such a big banquet, won't others laugh at her for the rest of her life?"
She explained everything she could think of, but her daughter just hid herself in the cave and refused to come out. She really had no idea what to do.
Uncle Xu coughed as he walked, then turned around and said to Madam Xu, "I'll go see Zhenniang myself, don't worry about it."
The room became quiet and the sunlight cast a shadow. Mrs. Xu sat down and slowly looked at her own shadow. After a moment, she sighed.
She actually felt that this family's ambitions were too big, and this was not a good sign.
To be honest, we already have everything we need, so why do we have to think about holding on to it forever? Those who are ahead are so capable, like Xia Song and Jiang Zining, which one of them doesn't have more connections than Xu Anying
But what good outcome
But there are so many people who are determined to move forward for the sake of power, and even their children at home are forced to participate in this war.
Winning is good, but what if you lose
By then, it will be the same as the Xia family, with all the men dead and the women being sent to the Jiaofang Bureau or sold off. What's the fun in that
But she couldn't make the decision after all, and her words didn't count. She pursed her lips, propped up her head for a while, and whispered to someone to come in and serve. She took the menu to see if there was anything wrong, and then sent out the errands. She looked through the table, chairs, bowls and dishes in the booklet, and when she thought it was about time, she got up and went to the old lady's yard. (To be continued)
