Xiao Cao nodded, "That's fine. After Seventh Sister gets married, we will study the details of your leg treatment."
"Okay." Compared to sitting in a wheelchair, everyone would naturally prefer to be able to walk and jump. Even though this wheelchair is specially built and far exceeds others in terms of flexibility and speed, it still cannot change the fact that there are many things that cannot be done while sitting in it.
Xiaocao originally wanted to send Wei Tingyu away, but Wenren Xiaosi said he could do it for him.
Of course that was fine. Xiaocao didn't argue with him and went straight to Wenren Yang's yard.
"Does the Fourth Young Master want to say something to me?"
Wen Ren Yang had not appeared before, but now that he had seen him, he naturally wanted to "talk" to him.
"It seems that Prince Wei is getting much better now. Congratulations. If you are better now, I believe Fourth Sister will also be better. Although she is not very willing, it is better for Fourth Sister to marry you smoothly than to marry anyone else. After all, it seems that she has no intention of marrying anyone else except you. It's just that Fourth Sister has spent a lot of effort on you, you should not let her down. I'm not talking about one or two days, not one or two years, but a lifetime."
"No matter how many promises you make, they are just empty words. You might as well keep watching, Mr. Fourth."
"That's natural." As they are of the same age, he can keep an eye on him for the rest of his life.
If you have an open mind, you will naturally not be afraid.
Wei Tingyu returned to the Pingyang Marquis's mansion. As soon as he entered the gate, he was told that the Marquis wanted to see him. Compared to the servants who used to talk behind Wei Tingyu's back, they were now many times more respectful. Of course, this change did not just happen today. After the Pingyang Marquis's wife took charge of the household, she replaced many servants, but no one dared to be disrespectful to the Prince of Wei. However, there is still a gap compared to now.
Some people couldn't help but discuss quietly behind the scenes, wondering if Princess Anguo would cancel the engagement.
Before, although their prince was disabled and short-lived, he was still the prince of a marquisate after all. With the "background" of the Wenren Fourth Miss, it was impossible for her to marry into a good family. Therefore, she was a "perfect match" with their prince. Now, the Wenren Fourth Miss has become a phoenix. If there is no engagement, the threshold of the Wenren family will probably be broken by everyone.
With such a huge disparity, even if they canceled the engagement, there was nothing wrong with it. Although their reputation would be damaged, it really wouldn't prevent them from finding a good in-law. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that this was the case. While they felt sympathy for their prince, they also felt a little sorry. After all, if Princess Anguo married into the Marquis of Pingjin's mansion, they would also be able to benefit from it.
Obviously, all of them ignored Wei Tingyu's current mental state. After all, only a few people knew that Wei Tingyu and Xiaocao left the imperial city to look for medicine. Wei Tingyu's condition was different from other illnesses. According to the skills Xiaocao had shown before, it was basically "the medicine worked immediately". If Xiaocao was not helpless about Wei Tingyu's condition, it would be impossible that it had dragged on for so long and there was still no improvement. Therefore, many people concluded that this miracle doctor was powerless facing Prince Wei.
Wei Tingyu went to the main hall, and there were actually quite a few people there. Except for Wei Jincheng, he estimated that almost all the masters of the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion were there.
Wei Tingyu greeted the guests calmly and sat quietly. He looked less sick and more dignified.
"You evil creature, you went out for months without even saying hello. After you came back, you didn't even pay your respects to your elders and went to the Wenren family first. Have you learned all the rules?" Pingyang Hou asked angrily.
But speaking of it, it's boring to repeat the same thing over and over again.
"My Lord, don't be so angry. Miss Wenren is now a princess and is deeply favored by the emperor. If our prince is not more proactive, what will happen if the engagement is broken off? Although the marriage was forced at the beginning, the circumstances are different now. My Lord, you should be more understanding." In fact, the wife of Marquis Pingyang did not deliberately suppress Aunt Zhou, but Aunt Zhou was also very unhappy, and she would not miss any opportunity to fight back when she could.
Even though Aunt Zhou was in a weak position, she still dared to act arrogantly. There was a reason for that. After all, whether it was Concubine Shun or Prince Dun, weren't they all fine? With their backers still there, she and Wei Jincheng would never fall completely. However, because of her status, she didn't dare to openly oppose the wife of Marquis Pingyang. Otherwise, if there were any bad rumors outside, Marquis Pingyang would be the first to deal with her.
Now with the addition of Princess Anguo, if she really marries in, there will be no chance for them as mother and son. Will Concubine Shun and Prince Dun still go against Princess Anguo because of her? Of course, the wedding date is still undecided. Can Wei Tingyu live to see... Hmm? Aunt Zhou suddenly paused, her eyes fell on Wei Tingyu, and the more she looked at him, the more she felt something was wrong...
"Is the prince feeling better now?" Aunt Zhou said with uncertainty, her voice trembling a little.
Because of her words, everyone else turned their eyes to Wei Tingyu. When he came in, they felt something was wrong, but they couldn't put their finger on it. But now it seemed that Aunt Zhou had pointed it out.
Wei Tingyu laughed suddenly, "Is Aunt Zhou very disappointed?"
Aunt Zhou's face changed slightly. Did Wei Tingyu know? "What the prince said is right. If you can get better, we are all happy for you." She wanted to smile, but this simple expression was too far-fetched for her to make, even if it was fake. Her palm seemed to have been pinched to bleed.
"Is that so? Then tell me something that will make Aunt Zhou happier. I will also treat the leg in a while. With Princess Anguo's medical skills, I think it should be no problem at all." Wei Tingyu folded his hands, feeling at ease.
"Have you been away from home recuperating for the past few months?" Pingyang Hou asked with a slightly frowned brow.
"What else? After all, there are too many bugs in this mansion, which really affects one's mood. Everyone knows that a bad mood is not conducive to recuperation."
Pingyang Hou's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. Everyone could hear that Wei Tingyu was making indirect accusations, but you can't expose it to him, otherwise it would be like claiming the blame yourself. Pingyang Hou was so angry that he was gasping for breath.
Wei Tingyu's smile remained unchanged. "I'm fine now, but the Marquis is unhappy? But it's not surprising. After all, I'm fine now, and the title of Marquis of Pingyang really has nothing to do with Wei Jincheng. It's the same as Aunt Zhou's mood. I can understand it, I can understand it."
Aunt Zhou wanted to cut Wei Tingyu into pieces in her heart, and she even had the idea of doing it again. This time, she would kill him directly and not give him any chance to turn over. However, although she thought so, it was very difficult and risky to put it into practice. She succeeded because she had the right time, place and people. Now... She didn't know when it started, but she couldn't control Wei Tingyu at all. She couldn't see through him and always felt that he was in danger.
The more this is the case, the more difficult it is to implement some ideas, and even the slightest clue cannot be revealed. If they are exposed, perhaps neither Concubine Shun nor Prince Dun can protect them and their son.
Because her emotions were so violent that they could easily be noticed, Aunt Zhou was trying not to speak out, but she was so angry that she immediately put on a tearful look, "Sir, you may have misunderstood me, but how could you say such words to hurt the Marquis? The Marquis may be a little harsh on you sometimes, but that's because he has high hopes for you..."
Wei Tingyu clapped his hands. "Go on, keep talking. I'm 'happy'. I'll take out some of the things in my hand for everyone to appreciate. Maybe I can invite Prince Dun and Concubine Shun to join us, or even give a copy to the Emperor."
Before, we all knew that Wei Tingyu had something on Marquis Pingyang that was enough to deprive him of his title. But now it seems that it is not just that thing, and it is not just Marquis Pingyang who has an ugly look on his face.
Those who didn't know were also confused. What was it? But seeing Aunt Zhou strangling her neck, was it...
"Lord Wei, I'll tell you one last time. If you think your life is too comfortable, I don't mind leaving you with nothing. Next time, I won't say a word to you. I will just do it. You can use your title to see if I can keep my word." Wei Tingyu glanced at the others, "Don't get involved if you have nothing to do with me, otherwise..."
Wei Tingyu narrowed his eyes slightly, and the aura on his body suddenly became completely different, with a strong sinister look that made people shudder and shrink back unconsciously.
After giving the warning, Wei Tingyu calmed down and said, "I originally thought that I would not live long, but I am lucky. Of course, you can also say that I am strong. After all, many people have wanted to kill me, but no one succeeded.
According to my original plan, even if I die, the people who hurt me will not be spared, so it seems not bad to bury the entire Pingyang Marquis Mansion with me. Now I can still live for a few decades, but..."
Wei Tingyu looked at Pingyang Hou with a gloomy look in his eyes, "It doesn't mean that I like this rotten pit called Pingyang Hou Mansion, so, I'll just give it up, and I don't feel bad at all.
Didn't Aunt Zhou say that I'm clinging to Princess Anguo? I don't mind marrying into the family. Madam Wenren loves her daughter so much that she would be very happy if she didn't let her daughter get married but instead took in a son-in-law.
Seriously speaking, I have to thank you, Aunt Zhou, for this marriage. After all, it was you who chose the girl from the Wen family in the beginning."
Does Aunt Zhou regret this? She regretted it so much that her intestines turned green. Originally, she wanted to choose someone with a flawed family background to deliberately humiliate Wei Tingyu, so that she could be easily controlled. She never expected that the other party's medical skills would really attract Wei Tingyu. She did everything she could to achieve her goal and even gave him a great opportunity...
Now was not the time to talk about this, because Pingyang Hou was so angry at Wei Shizi that he was shaking and pointing at him and cursing, "You, you bastard who has forgotten your roots, how dare you say such a thing, have you even forgotten your last name, huh? You..."
Wei Tingyu sneered indifferently, "Why don't you just expel me from the family? After all, as a father, you have never made me feel that this family name is an honor. There are so many people outside who laugh at the Pingyang Marquis Mansion and you, the Pingyang Marquis, but you are the only one who thinks you are right. Of course, you may also be deceiving yourself, pretending to be deaf and dumb, ignoring what you don't want to hear, and thinking that nothing has happened."
Pingyang Hou was so angry that he rolled his eyes and looked like he was about to suffocate.
Wei Tingyu still didn't want to let him go. "If the Pingyang Marquis Mansion is destroyed, it won't be all your credit. Then in the underworld, remember to cover your face with your hair. After all, if you have defeated the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, how can you face the ancestors of the Wei family?"
“My Lord, My Lord…” Aunt Zhou was in a hurry to calm Marquis Pingyang down. After all, it didn’t look like he was pretending now.
Except for Aunt Zhou, no one else moved, or rather, they dared not move.
"Tingyu, stop it." The wife of Marquis Pingyang, who had always acted like a bodhisattva, finally spoke up and gave a bland rebuke. It wasn't because she was worried about Marquis Pingyang, but she was worried that he would get angry and something bad would happen, which would affect her son's reputation.
Wei Tingyu still listened to the words of the wife of Marquis Pingyang.
Take a break and let Marquis Pingyang catch his breath.
But then again, Pingyang Hou was only in his forties, and he wouldn't die from being angry. He would be fine after he recovered. He just stared at Wei Tingyu, and his eyes really showed that he wanted to strangle him to death.
Wei Tingyu seemed more relaxed and at ease. "What does the Marquis want to tell me?"
As a father, he guessed that he was the first one to feel so aggrieved in front of his son. It was because that bastard had caught him with something that he was threatened again and again, and his dignity as a father was completely destroyed.
But, but what can he do? Wei Tingyu held his lifeline, making him unable to move. He didn't even have the courage to risk his life to deal with this evildoer. "He, you raised a good son!" He was helpless against Wei Tingyu, so he took his anger out on the wife of Pingyang Hou.
However, this little drizzle was enough to make even the wife of Marquis Pingyang bat an eyelid.
It was like punching cotton. Ever since the wife of Marquis Pingyang took over the management of Zhongkui again, Marquis Pingyang had felt powerless and aggrieved more than once, so he simply stopped trying.
"This son was raised by his mother and taught by his father. I think I was not taught well. After all, I was never taught. It's all the fault of the Marquis, not mother. You see, you taught Wei Jincheng well, and he listens to you a lot."
Wei Tingyu sneered coldly. To be honest, he was not having a very smooth day today. After all, he was upset at his mother-in-law's place and Xuan'er didn't help him. Of course, he needed to vent his anger somewhere else to avoid getting depressed and hurting his body. His body was very precious now. Yes, that's right.
Pingyang Hou is about to vomit blood again...
"Tingyu..." Lady Pingyanghou's voice was filled with helplessness, "When you are well again, your marriage with Princess Anguo..."
Speaking of this, Wei Tingyu could only feel disappointed, "Madam Wenren is very angry, I'm afraid she won't give in so easily." He glanced at Aunt Zhou who looked happy, and said with a smile, "Delaying the wedding date doesn't mean that the wedding will fall through. In fact, before that, I must solve all the problems that need to be solved. I can't let Princess Anguo be bothered by bad things, right?"
Aunt Zhou's smile froze on her face. It seemed as if these words were saying that she was going to be held accountable.
