So, it is really hard to say about everything. Even though they are doing the same thing, some people will be bossed around, scolded and unable to resist, while some people will be treated respectfully, fearing that you will give them the cold shoulder and quit.
Xiaocao sighed for a while and then put the matter behind her. She didn't have time to think about so much.
Without someone like Wu Yaru, nothing went wrong either at the banquet or in the period before it. Xiaocao did meet Wu Yaru's mother, Wu Han, who also praised her a lot, and then lamented that although Wu Yaru was taking care of her pregnancy at home, the baby's signs were not very good, and there was a secret hope in her eyes.
Even Xiaocao now roughly understood what she meant, but she did not intend to respond.
Wu Han was secretly annoyed. When she gritted her teeth and was about to speak out, Han came over and said, "Xuan'er, what are you doing here? Come on, it's been such a long time, go play with the young people." She also smoothed the hair around Xiaocao's temples.
The grass followed suit and left.
The remaining Han looked at Wu Han with cold eyes, and Wu Han's palms were sweating when she looked at her.
"Last time at Wenren's house, Xuan'er noticed that Wu Yaru was not in a good condition, and she said she wanted to take a look at her, but she looked like she was afraid of being harmed. What do you want to do now, sister? Do you want my Xuan'er to follow and let her humiliate you?"
"Sister, it's not like that..."
"That's the best." Han denied everything with just one sentence and turned around to greet other guests.
Wu Han was miserable, secretly cursing her daughter thousands of times. That fool had completely ruined their relationship. Look at the past month. Knowing that she was pregnant, did the Wen family ask about her at all? In the past, if she had a cold, Han would send someone to check on her and bring a bunch of things. Now, they completely ignored her. Without the Wen family, the Song family didn't take her seriously. Because she was pregnant, she couldn't serve her husband, and her mother-in-law stuffed two or three people in the room. It was totally unreasonable...
In this situation, how can she rest assured and take care of the baby? Sooner or later, the child will be gone, and once the child is gone, the result will only get worse. If the Wen family still has their back, will the Song family dare to treat her like that? They will only worship her as their ancestor.
Stupid bastard, stupid bastard...
Wu Han naturally hated Han's coldness and ruthlessness, but what could she do? If she said something or did something, she would probably be kicked out. Her voice in the Wu family was getting lower and lower. If she was kicked out now, she would not have to say anything. She would probably be worse than her original position in the Wu family.
On the other side, Wei Tingyu did not stay for too long, because his condition was really bad and his mood swings were too drastic. It was probably not just that his life was shortened again, but that he could die at any time.
When he returned to the Marquis of Pingyang's Mansion, he ran into a pretty girl head-on. She stood in front of Wei Tingyu and shyly called out "Brother Tingyu". Her cheeks were flushed, and she was shy and glanced at Wei Tingyu.
Wei Tingyu looked calm, but his heart was like boiling magma. Anything related to Xiaocao could irritate him. As for what did it have to do with Xiaocao now? Wei Tingyu had often coaxed Xiaocao to call him "brother", but Xiaocao usually called him "Tingyu". When she was angry, she even called him "Wei Tingyu" with his full name. When she was annoyed by Wei Tingyu's coaxing, she would deliberately call him "Brother Tingyu" in a coquettish voice. After that, she would startle herself, rub her arms, and then roll her eyes at Wei Tingyu, "Are you satisfied? You're so corny."
The cousin in front of him, the girl with whom he has the best relationship on the surface, the woman who Wei Jincheng said could take off her clothes and climb into bed with just a flick of her hand, was also the woman who was angrily called a bitch by Shen Jiaying, another cousin from Wei Tingyu's aunt's family, when they were at Jian's house. How could Wei Tingyu not know what the woman in the mansion and his so-called father were planning? Looking at He Chujian's current appearance, has the two families already made it clear
"Get out of the way." He was in a bad mood and would crush anyone who blocked his way.
He Chujian's face turned pale, and he looked at Wei Tingyu in disbelief, "Brother Tingyu, you..."
"Do you need me to say it again? Wen Xin."
Wen Xin stepped forward, grabbed the timid girl's arm and pulled her without any courtesy. The girl took a few steps sideways and fell to the ground. Not only did it hurt where she was pinched, but her entire arm was almost dislocated.
Wen Xin really doesn't know how to be gentle and considerate to women at all.
He Chujian had tears in his eyes. He held his aching arm, and there was helplessness and confusion in his eyes. He seemed to have no idea why he was treated like this. "Brother Tingyu..."
Wei Tingyu didn't even glance at Wen Xin, and Wen Xin continued to push him forward.
A housekeeper came hurriedly and said, "Prince, how can you treat your cousin like this? She has been waiting for you here, eagerly waiting for you, for quite some time." He started by blaming everyone and quickly had someone help He Chujian up.
"Who are you talking to?" Wei Tingyu looked at the housekeeper and spoke in a calm voice.
Wei Tingyu's eyes were dark at this moment, as if with a circle of dark red, like a man-eating beast. The butler seemed to be strangled by the neck. To say that he had spoken like this before, it was also true... "Prince... Master..."
"You still know who I am?" Wei Tingyu lowered his head slightly, "Look, the people around Wei Jincheng haven't been taught a lesson enough."
The housekeeper shuddered as he muttered to himself, thinking of the servants of the Second Young Master, who were thrown into the front yard with their limbs broken and no one allowed to take care of them for three days. How are they now? It seems...
Everyone in the mansion was saying how cruel and merciless the prince was. He was no longer the same as before. How could he have forgotten? He just wanted to slap himself hard, his hands and feet trembling, "Prince..."
“Good people are often bullied, but honest people never bully others.” Wei Tingyu raised his head, rested his hands on the armrests of the wooden wheelchair, and supported his chin lazily. He gave people a completely different feeling from before. He looked harmless, but in fact he was just a poisonous snake with its fangs retracted. Once stimulated a little, he would launch a fatal attack.
Not to mention the housekeeper, even He Chujian felt that Brother Tingyu was too weird and scary today, as if he had completely changed into a different person. Now she was very doubtful, was marrying him really the right decision
"What's the matter? Tell me now."
"The Marquis and his wife are waiting for the Crown Prince in the main courtyard. Your uncle and aunt are also here." The butler said quickly.
So as expected, his mother came out of the Buddhist temple, which probably meant his marriage.
Wei Tingyu had no intention of avoiding it.
"Where have you been, you bastard? You've left so many people waiting for you. How can you be so rude! You're running outside even though your legs and feet are broken. Can't you just sit back and do something you can do?" Pingyang Hou scolded everyone he met. To be honest, outsiders wouldn't speak so cruelly. "You don't know how to be polite when you meet people. Have you learned all the rules and etiquette?"
The wife of Marquis Pingyang frowned slightly, but didn't say anything in the end.
It was Aunt Zhou who gave some advice in a gentle voice.
Because Wei Tingyu had caught him and threatened him severely last time, Pingyang Hou now disliked his son and always scolded him whenever he got the chance. He seemed to have listened to Aunt Zhou's advice, but he still glared at Wei Tingyu.
Wei Tingyu didn't take it seriously, "Mom, what's the matter with calling me here?"
As soon as Wei Tingyu opened his mouth, Lady Pingyang knew that her son was in a bad mood. She hesitated a little, not knowing whether to say the next word.
"Asshole, didn't you see your uncle and aunt were here? Why didn't you call for help?"
Wei Tingyu was indifferent. "Mom, I'm a little tired. I want to go back and rest early. If you have anything to say, just say it."
"What we mean is to make the He family and the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion closer, and let Chu Jian marry you."
But it was obvious that because of Wei Tingyu's attitude, He's uncle and aunt were also dissatisfied. They said with a cold face, "With this attitude? He still wants to marry Chu Jian? No way." He was very arrogant.
"That's perfect. I have absolutely no interest in He Chujian."
"you-"
He Chujian next to him also turned pale.
"Marriage is a serious matter, it's decided by parents and matchmaker, how can you talk nonsense?" Pingyang Hou slammed the table and stood up.
"In that case, why don't you just make the decision? Why are you telling me something? Are you afraid that you'll make an independent decision and make me unhappy, and then do something that will make everyone unhappy?" Wei Tingyu tapped the armrest with his fingers, his expression somewhat sarcastic.
Not to mention that the wife of Marquis Pingyang felt that something was wrong with Wei Tingyu, anyone who was not a fool could feel it. No matter how he was portrayed to the outside world, everyone who had actually come into contact with him should know that it was not the case. He was noble, indifferent, and distant. Like now, he spoke impolitely, ignored rules and etiquette, and showed his emotions. It was really surprising.
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
Wei Tingyu raised his hand, and Wen Xin followed and was about to push him away.
However, this marriage certainly cannot be ruined like this.
"Brother Tingyu..."
"Wei Tingyu—" He's aunt shouted angrily, "You are just a useless piece of shit who will die soon. It is a great favor for you to marry Chu Jian to you. How can you be so ungrateful?"
Wei Tingyu stopped, turned around in the wooden wheelchair, and spoke slowly, "Knowing that I'm a useless person who won't live long, they still married their daughter to me. My uncle and aunt are really interesting."
He's aunt choked and said, "It's all for you."
"For me? A useless person who is dying and whom you look down upon is more important to you than your daughter? This is even more interesting. Could it be that He Chujian is not only not your biological child, but also the child of your enemy?"
“Brother Tingyu, how can you say that?” He Chujian held the handkerchief and looked at Wei Tingyu with tears in her eyes. She seemed sad and aggrieved. “It’s just because, because…” Her face couldn’t help but blush again.
"He Chujian, did you have the same expression when you climbed the mountain and got on Wei Jincheng's bed?" Wei Tingyu looked quite interested. "Your face turns red and changes at any time. It's a pity not to go to the opera."
The room suddenly became dead silent, and then He Chujian's face turned pale...
After realizing what was happening, He's aunt was furious, "You bastard, how dare you talk nonsense!" She rushed over to beat Wei Tingyu, but with Wen Xin around, there was no way she could succeed.
The others were equally angry.
Wei Tingyu couldn't help but laugh out loud, "I didn't say that, but Wei Jincheng said that." Wei Tingyu cast his eyes on Pingyang Hou and Aunt Zhou, "Last time Wei Jincheng came back with broken hands and feet, did he tell you what he originally wanted to do to me? He tricked me out with He Chujian, and he had a knife that looked sharp on him, and he said a lot of nonsense. He was just trying to force He Chujian on me because he didn't want to be on good terms with you?"
"Nonsense, nonsense—" He Chujian suddenly screamed.
"Are you talking nonsense? Just find a nanny to check your body." Wei Tingyu's eyes fell on his uncle and aunt who were like being struck by lightning. "You calculated so much, isn't it just for the title of Pingyang Marquis? If it was just this, to be honest, only poor people would be interested. If Pingyang Marquis could be like Pingjin Marquis, vying for him to marry into the family, then it would be understandable. - Sometimes I find it strange. Since my uncle and aunt have already reached an agreement with Aunt Zhou, why don't they just give He Chujian to Wei Jincheng? And they said that they want both face and benefits, and let me be the scapegoat? What's the matter, do you think I'm so easy to bully?"
Everyone's face was pale and green, which looked very good.
The wife of Marquis Pingyang, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly pointed at He Chujian and said, "Take her for a physical examination."
The mother beside her immediately responded and went forward to pull He Chujian.
He Chujian quickly shrank back, "I won't go, I don't want to go, Aunt, Aunt, why are you humiliating me like this?"
"You're reacting so strongly, so you're really not a virgin anymore?" The wife of Pingyang Marquis didn't seem to be surprised or angry. Even though He Chujian was a younger generation she liked, she really wanted her to marry her son. Then she turned around and looked at Pingyang Marquis, "Since Jincheng has ruined the girl's innocence, he should be held responsible. After all, maybe she's pregnant with Wei's child."
Marquis Pingyang's face was trembling, and Aunt Zhou's expression was even more interesting.
He Chujian stared at Lady Pingyang, her eyes filled with disbelief and shock. Her body trembled, and she looked extremely weak. "Aunt, aunt, how could you, how could you say that?"
"That's a physical examination. As long as you are still a perfect person, your aunt will apologize to you." She said it lightly.
He Chujian was shaking and about to collapse. He looked at Wei Tingyu again, "Brother Tingyu, do you really believe what others say and not me? Don't you like me the most? Why do you treat me like this? Why?"
