Seeing Wei Jincheng like this, Marquis Pingyang also felt a little annoyed. He had told him a long time ago that he should not provoke his elder brother, but he turned a deaf ear to his words. He deserved to be in this state now.
No matter what she thought, this was her son whom she had spoiled since he was a child. Seeing him suffer like this, she still felt a little distressed, but more of it was anger, towards Wei Tingyu and even more towards the Wen family.
In his opinion, both of them are ungrateful.
Which good girl would marry my son with the condition he is in? Forget about the He family before, he was not aware of it, but the one he chose now has a poorer background, so she should be able to take care of him. It was obviously for him, but she made her own brother like this. She is really vicious. As a son, she dared to threaten me. I should have strangled him to death when he was born.
And the Wen family, the highest official in the family, was only the third rank. Even if he was not very good, he was still a super-rank marquis. What's more, he didn't even look at the situation of their daughter. To be able to marry into their marquisate was a blessing earned in eight lifetimes. Not only did he refuse, but he also dared to humiliate him. It was simply unforgivable!
He couldn't do anything to the Wen family at the moment, but that didn't mean he couldn't teach his own son a lesson.
Seeing Pingyang Hou leave in anger, the crying Aunt Zhou had some strange emotions in her eyes, but Wei Jincheng was not so optimistic. He thought he had completely seen through that good brother. Would your ordinary means work on a crazy person? However, Wei Jincheng had no intention of stopping him. He just watched Pingyang Hou leave. No matter who suffered, that was what Wei Jincheng wanted to see.
That's right, Wei Jincheng now even hates Pingyang Hou, saying that he loves him the most, but in the end he doesn't even give him what he wants the most, and he drags his feet in clearing the roadblocks for him. If he had acted earlier, Wei Tingyu wouldn't be able to hinder them now. - The so-called love is just because of Prince Dun and Concubine Shun.
So, pinch me, pinch me until I am dead. Wei Jincheng turned his neck stiffly like a puppet. His body was still in pain, very painful. However, after a long time, Wei Jincheng became numb, as if he could not feel anything.
He wanted to close his eyes and take a rest, but the moment he closed his eyes, Wei Tingyu's eyes, as if he was looking at a dead person, appeared in front of him. In his eyes, he was like the most ferocious evil spirit in the world. He shuddered violently and opened his eyes again.
Wei Jincheng rolled his eyes, and stood far away from them one by one, with the word "disdain" written on his face. In the past, whenever he coughed, people would rush to ask about his health and be attentive and considerate...
Wei Jincheng's eyes were instantly filled with anger. Just as he was about to say something, another burst of crying was heard outside. Several gorgeously dressed women rushed in, crying as if he, Wei Jincheng, was dead. However, after seeing Wei Jincheng's condition clearly, they could not hide their surprise and disgust at all. Although they restrained themselves quickly, Wei Jincheng still saw it clearly.
One of them moved quickly, taking two steps at a time, "Second Master..." Carefully, with a loving look, she wiped his saliva, "If you feel uncomfortable, you can tell me. If possible, I would like to take your place."
Wei Jincheng suddenly showed a strange and crazy smile, grabbed the woman's wrist, and then bit it. The woman screamed and subconsciously slapped Wei Jincheng in the face. With a loud slap, the room instantly became quiet.
But Wei Jincheng not only did not let go, but bit even harder. Seeing blood seeping out, the woman trembled with pain, but she did not dare to push him away. She just cried and begged for mercy, "Second Master, Second Master, can you let me go? I am in so much pain, Second Master..."
Then, Wei Jincheng tore a piece of flesh from the woman's arm like a hungry wolf. The scene, coupled with the woman's screams, was chilling.
This was not over yet. Wei Jincheng tilted his head and spat out the piece of meat in his mouth, then took a second bite. He didn't know when, his body stopped twitching, and only his eyes were filled with madness and excitement.
Is this still the behavior of a normal person
The woman couldn't care less and slapped him hard, "Let go, let go, Master, let me go..."
The second piece of meat was taken. "Aren't you going to sacrifice your body? I feel much more pain than this right now." As if to prove what he said, Wei Jincheng bit himself. It was still a piece of meat, but he didn't seem to feel any pain. He even smiled foolishly. "If you can't replace Jiu, then you can accompany me." After saying that, he bit himself hard again.
"Ah... Help, help, he's crazy, he's crazy..."
If you regret it, really regret it, you shouldn't have tried to please others, or even showed up.
Everyone else stepped back, fear in their eyes. If they hadn't been a little cautious, they would have just run away.
Aunt Zhou seemed to have come to her senses and stopped crying. "What are you standing there for? Go and pull them apart." She looked at her son, who seemed to have become a completely different person. He really was like a madman, a man-eating madman. She couldn't help but shudder. "Quick, quick, pull them apart!"
Several maids had no choice but to obey and went up carefully, persuading Wei Jincheng with trembling voices, while trying to pry his hands apart.
After a long time of effort, the woman was finally rescued, but her originally smooth and delicate arm was now covered with several bloody pits, and there were obvious teeth marks in some places.
However, another maid caught by Wei Jincheng suffered again. Wei Jincheng, who was originally trembling and unable to sit still, now sat up, making it easier for him to attack. When one escaped, he would take over with another, who jumped off the bed. In short, he was like a mad dog, and would not let anyone go except Aunt Zhou.
The room was in chaos, and those near the door rushed out without caring about anything.
Others also madly squeezed towards the door. Soon, only Wei Jincheng and Aunt Zhou were left in the room. Wei Jincheng looked at Aunt Zhou. His eyes and bloody mouth really made him look like a beast without any humanity. Aunt Zhou was terrified and kept backing away, "Jincheng, I'm your mother, please don't mess around..."
Wei Jincheng just stared at her, stared at her, and then suddenly burst into crazy laughter, "I'm not afraid of you, I'm not afraid of you, Wei Tingyu, I'm not afraid of you at all! Hahahahahahaha..."
Aunt Zhou tightly grasped her handkerchief. Her son, was he really driven crazy by Wei Tingyu? What on earth had he done? What on earth had he done? Aunt Zhou was filled with fear and hatred.
If anything happened to her son...
Wei Tingyu, Wei Tingyu... We must not let him go, we must not let him go!
Over there, Pingyang Hou came to Wei Tingyu's yard in a rage. However, this time, there was no fight. Pingyang Hou was about to lose his temper, but Hua Yu said slowly, "My Lord, the prince has gone to the palace to see the emperor."
Pingyang Hou seemed to have his throat pinched, and he lost his voice in an instant, "Enter, enter the palace..."
"Yes." Hua Yu nodded, her face calm but with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.
"He entered the palace, why did he enter the palace? What was he doing in the palace for no reason?" At this moment, the only thing that Pingyang Hou could think of was that this incident had completely irritated that evil creature. Without saying anything, he directly presented the evidence to the emperor. His title could be taken away at any time.
When he thought of this possibility, cold sweat broke out on Pingyang Hou's forehead. That evil creature, that evil creature, how dare he, how dare he? The title of the Wei family came from the founding of the country. If that evil creature took it away, wouldn't he be afraid of being ashamed to face his ancestors in his grave? !
To be honest, at the beginning, Pingyang Hou was frightened by Wei Tingyu, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Wei Tingyu would not do that. He held the disease in his hands just to threaten him as his father. But now, Pingyang Hou was not so sure. He was so cruel to his own brother, and there had never been such a thing before.
"Did he bring anything when he entered the palace?" Pingyang Hou asked anxiously.
"He should have brought something. I'm not sure if there is anything under the blanket that the prince covered his legs with, but it does look a bit uneven." Hua Yu said uncertainly.
Marquis Pingyang turned around and left in a hurry. He was in a completely different state from when he came.
Hua Yu raised the corner of his mouth sarcastically, and the person hiding somewhere else had a cold look in his eyes.
Speaking of which, the prince is going to officially marry his wife, so he naturally won't destroy the Marquis' Mansion at this time. Apart from anything else, the name of this Marquis' Mansion is still somewhat useful.
Pingyang Hou didn't know. He became restless at this moment. At the fork in the road, should he leave the mansion and attack, or go to the backyard? He hesitated back and forth several times, but couldn't make up his mind.
What if that evil creature didn't want to pick him up? If he entered the palace like this, wouldn't he be confessing himself? And if that evil creature really wanted to kill his relatives for the sake of justice, it would be useless for him to enter the palace now, and he couldn't save anything.
Marquis Pingyang turned around and went directly to the small Buddhist temple.
The wife of Marquis Pingyang, who was chanting and beating a wooden fish, was not affected by the noise of the door being pushed hard and the noise, until Marquis Pingyang reached out to grab something and was about to smash it.
The wife of the Marquis of Pingyang held him down and said, "My Lord, the gods and Buddhas are powerful. Please think twice before you act."
Pingyang Hou's face turned the color of liver, after all, he didn't really smash the thing.
"He, you really raised a good son. He dared to destroy the foundation of our ancestors. Do you think that you can offset your sins by eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures all day? You should be in the ancestral hall, apologizing to your ancestors instead of staying in the Buddhist temple!"
The wife of the Marquis of Pingyang said calmly, "It is always the father's fault if he fails to educate his children. Our dynasty has no way of managing the family, and we have always reprimanded officials to go home and teach their children, but never directly reprimanded the harem. Besides, Tingyu lived on the farm for many years, and I lived in the Buddhist temple, but I never took care of him. But you, as a father, don't care about the legitimate son, but spoil the illegitimate son. The legitimate son has nothing, but the illegitimate son gets the best of everything. Now that Tingyu wants to do something, the Marquis reprimands me for not raising him well. What's the reason for this?"
Pingyang Hou's eyes were red, and his chest was heaving. "I'm his father!"
"Yes, no one has ever said that you are not, but you didn't teach him well to obey his father and not disobey at any time. You didn't teach him, so he is disobedient now. Who can you blame?" Pingyang and his wife responded indifferently.
Pingyang Hou was so angry that he gasped, "Okay, okay, okay, you are all good!" Pingyang Hou just turned away.
The wife of Marquis Pingyang sat down again, beating the wooden fish rhythmically and chanting scriptures with her eyes closed. She was very calm, as if nothing had happened. She had no interest in knowing what Marquis Pingyang meant by saying that her son was going to destroy the ancestral foundation.
When Pingyang Hou walked to the door and heard the sound of the wooden fish, he almost fell backwards in anger. He walked out of the yard with a fierce look on his face, "Seal this yard for me. If... burn it down!" If that evil creature really dares to do that...
The person accompanying him responded hastily, and then asked someone to get a big lock. With a clang, the door did not open. If the people inside wanted to get out, they could only climb over the wall.
Not long after the door was locked, Huayu "passed by" from outside, looked up at the yard, then retracted her gaze and walked straight away.
Wei Jincheng was quite amorous, and it was indeed inherited from his father. Could it be that he felt that there was no point in being ruthless? The more this happened, the more likely it was that the last bit of affection would be worn out, and by then he really wouldn't care about anything.
The Marquis's wife had been a vegetarian for so many years. Not to mention the past, at least now, if she wanted to leave the Marquis's mansion, she could do so at any time. Why didn't she do so? Not only for her son, but also because of the Marquis of Pingyang. The existence of the Marquis of Pingyang's wife was a kind of protection for him.
Mrs. Pingyang Marquis knew very well that her son really had no feelings for his father. The father is the leader of the son, but for him, this did not exist. Mrs. Pingyang Marquis was worried that her son would commit patricide. No matter what the reason was, as long as he did such a thing, he would really have to bear the heinous sin in his life and after his death. This was not what Mrs. Pingyang Marquis wanted to see.
If Pingyang Hou wanted to kill her, wouldn't that be destroying his own protection? However, if it really came to that, Pingyang Hou's wife would do it herself and would not let her son bear the guilt.
Obviously, they were thinking too much. Things were not that serious yet. It was true that Wei Tingyu entered the palace, but he only went to "ask for leave" from Emperor Xuanren. He did not hide the matter of Xiaocao from Emperor Xuanren.
Emperor Xuanren has always been reasonable, and Wei Tingyu is not the only person under his command who can be used, so naturally he agreed to reduce some of the tasks for him. Besides, in his opinion, Wei Tingyu has outstanding abilities, and instead of using some trivial matters to squeeze him in the end, it is better to take good care of him, let him live longer, and use him at the critical moment.
Wei Tingyu thanked Emperor Xuanren and did not go home after leaving the palace. Instead, he went directly to Wenren House. He did not see Xiaocao, but faced his mother-in-law at the first opportunity.
