In the face of this sudden change, only Wei Jincheng's servants rushed forward to stop it, but there were only two servants. As soon as they moved, the other young men of the Zhou family followed suit, and then the three of them, the master and his servant, were brutally beaten.
Wei Jincheng kept cursing and wanted to make the Zhou family suffer. However, the elders who loved him the most just watched coldly. When the fight was almost over, they slowly spoke up to stop it and then acted like elders towards Wei Jincheng.
When he was valuable, Wei Jincheng was their ancestor. When he was worthless, they put themselves back in the position of the ancestor.
One by one, you and I scolded Wei Jincheng, talking about etiquette, manners, and rules...
Speaking of Wei Jincheng, because her mother had high hopes for her, she naturally received good education in all aspects. However, because too much attention was paid to her, she was a little bit spoiled. As a result, she had mastered the essence of "looking at the person and treating him differently". It was okay at other times, but when she was in the Zhou family, she was indeed a bit too arrogant. Now it has backfired on her.
He was in a bad mood to begin with, and after the visit to Zhou's house yesterday, he became particularly irritable, finding all kinds of faults, angering the Zhou family, and becoming extremely resentful. As a result, Wei Jincheng was attacked both physically and mentally. Fight? He couldn't; if it came to talking, he realized that he was completely vulnerable.
Although Wei Jincheng was born out of wedlock, he was favored. Later, he was certain that the title of Marquis of Pingyang would be his. He was very proud and high-spirited. Even though he had been punished by Wei Tingyu, he had never suffered any loss outside, especially from the Zhou family, which he did not take seriously at all.
Speaking of which, as the prince's in-laws, the Zhou family should be pretty good. Unfortunately, the Zhou family is not good enough and there is no one outstanding enough to support the family. As for the current situation of the Zhou family, Concubine Shun originally did not agree with it. However, her father did not care. He was flattered all day long and almost blatantly regarded himself as the father-in-law of the emperor. Concubine Shun simply gave up and did not care about it. The only thing was that there must be no trouble. If it offended Emperor Xuanren and was dealt with, she would never help.
This was considered a peaceful situation, and naturally, the difference between Prince Dun's maternal family and Prince Duan, Prince Heng, and even his other brothers was not a little bit. It was also because of this that Prince Dun did not like the Zhou family - Wei Jincheng's attitude towards the Zhou family might have been influenced by Prince Dun.
Wei Jincheng almost escaped from the Zhou family. His bruised face and disheveled appearance attracted a lot of attention.
Wei Jincheng couldn't stand this and rushed back to Pingyang Marquis Mansion almost non-stop.
Wei Tingyu got the news and smiled lazily, "I thought he could hold on for another day or half a day." This probably only means that the Zhou family is more "powerful" than expected, but even so, Wei Tingyu plans to wait a little longer. After all...
Last night, news came that Aunt Zhou had angered Marquis Pingyang, who was so furious that he ordered her to be confined. Not in her own yard, but in the most remote and narrow yard of Marquis Pingyang. There was only an old woman who swept the yard there, and she would tidy it up every now and then. There was almost no furnishings in the yard, and it was overgrown with weeds, looking very desolate. Aunt Zhou was thrown in, and then a maid was assigned to serve her.
Yesterday, Marquis Pingyang did not attack Aunt Zhou in time. After all, he wanted to see Prince Dun's attitude. After learning that Prince Dun had kicked Wei Jincheng out, he was no longer polite to Aunt Zhou.
—Probably he truly realized that the second son's backers had retreated because of the eldest son's backers.
Marquis Pingyang would not do anything without benefit, and his actions were also within Wei Tingyu's expectations.
But as the object of his kindness, Wei Tingyu naturally wouldn't pay any attention to him. Who would do something to wipe out the past and even want him to be grateful? To be honest, there would probably be no such good thing even in dreams.
Wei Jincheng returned to his yard and tidied himself up, but his bruised face and nose was still too horrible to look at.
Wei Jincheng went to find Aunt Zhou in a rage. Although he did not consider the Zhou family as his in-laws, it was indeed Zhou's maternal family. After being humiliated by the Zhou family, he always had to find someone to vent his anger on. Given Wei Jincheng's current situation, Aunt Zhou was naturally the best choice.
However, when Wei Jincheng went there, he found that there was only a cleaner left in the huge courtyard. The maid told Wei Jincheng in fear and trepidation that Aunt Zhou had been locked up in a remote courtyard by the Marquis.
Wei Jincheng was stunned for a moment. A gust of cool wind made him shudder. His head, which was overwhelmed by anger, finally became clearer. After realizing his current situation, Wei Jincheng couldn't help but tremble. He felt infinite panic in his heart. He never thought that things would be so serious. In his opinion, even if there was no Prince Dun, he would be beaten up by Wei Tingyu at most. His father would definitely not let Wei Tingyu do too much. In fact, it was the father who took action first! So cold and ruthless! He could have done something like "favoring the concubine and killing the wife" for Zhou, but now he turned against her!
The chill penetrated through the skin and flesh directly into the bones, making people shiver uncontrollably.
Wei Jincheng went to find Pingyang Hou to argue and asked him why he was so cold-blooded.
Marquis Pingyang showed no guilt or remorse. He scolded Wei Jincheng and even turned a blind eye to the obvious injuries on Wei Jincheng's face, let alone showed any concern. He then brought up the "good things" that Aunt Zhou had done to express his indignation and disappointment, as if he was deeply annoyed at having spoiled such a vicious woman for so many years.
Wei Jincheng was speechless at the righteous look of Pingyang Hou. Only then did he realize how hypocritical and shameless this man was!
"So, don't worry about your aunt's affairs. If you must get involved, then go and accompany her." Pingyang Hou said coldly, "Also, no matter what misunderstandings or conflicts there are between you and your brother, you should solve them by yourselves. After all, you are both my sons, and I am your flesh and blood, so I will not get involved."
Wei Jincheng didn't know how he left Pingyang Hou's presence. He was now at a loss and didn't even know where to go.
How did things turn out like this? A few days ago, when Wei Tingyu hadn't come back yet, he was still out calling friends and even talking about Princess Anguo, saying that she was his future sister-in-law, trying to take advantage of her, but in fact, he was teasing her. Wei Tingyu was dead, so how could there be a sister-in-law
Because Wei Tingyu caused a big war when he came back, and the fact that Wei Jincheng was rejected by Prince Dun had also spread among Marquis Pingyang, therefore, the servants now avoided him from afar and treated him like a plague god.
