After saying that, Xiaocao didn't care about the expressions of these people, and turned to look at Wei Tingyu, "It's still early now, why don't we go out for a walk?" This showed that he was not interested in meeting them one by one.
Wei Tingyu naturally had no objection. According to him, he didn't want to leave at all. However, for the sake of Xiaocao's reputation, he didn't just turn his face away. After all, if a married woman doesn't even want to see her husband's relatives, she would be in no way right, especially since she has a special status. People might even accuse her of being arrogant because of her power.
The situation is different now. It was these people who embarrassed Xiaocao first. Xiaocao just said some unpleasant words. She did not get angry on the spot and directly arrested those who disrespected her. This was already very merciful.
Before leaving, he politely said goodbye to the wife of Marquis Pingyang, but forget about the others.
The Lady of Pingyang Marquis, who had been twirling her Buddhist beads from beginning to end, nodded slightly like a Bodhisattva and said, "Go." She was not just a Buddhist on the surface, but a Buddhist inside and out. However, she probably knew that her son and daughter-in-law could handle things without her having to do anything.
This was the case with the wife of Marquis Pingyang. Marquis Pingyang did not receive such treatment and was completely classified as a member of the Wei clan.
It can be imagined that his face would definitely not be good. However, even if he was furious, it would be of no avail. No one would care. Even these clansmen would not take him seriously as a marquis who had lost his power. What's more, Wei Tingyu had a handle on him. Wei Tingyu gave him a cold look, and the evil fire that he wanted to vent was forcibly suppressed.
But there are still some people who are so thick-skinned that they add drama to themselves as if nothing has happened. For example, they smilingly tell them to have fun, saying that they are usually busy and should take advantage of these few days to relax, and they act like amiable elders.
Xiao Cao had a wooden face and didn't let himself get ruined, so he just turned around and left.
Wei Tingyu glanced at the Wei family members with different expressions. Compared with their gentle looks before, their eyes were really scary now. The malice filled with violence was almost overflowing. Even those who were pretending couldn't maintain their smiles under his gaze. They froze on their faces, which was very funny. For a moment, you could hear a pin drop. It felt like the air was frozen and it was suffocating.
Most of them saw Wei Tingyu like this for the first time. They felt that he was not a human, but a demon in human skin. However, this feeling came and went quickly. Wei Tingyu curled his lips, and the atmosphere he created was instantly gone.
Wei Tingyu straightened his sleeves, said nothing, turned around and quickly caught up with Xiaocao, speaking to her in a gentle voice.
Only when their figures disappeared did the "dead water" come back to life.
Some people couldn't help but pat their chests, and the younger ones looked extremely pale.
For a moment, no one said anything to judge Prince Wei.
With a bang, Pingyang Hou smashed the cup. "This evil and unfilial son, does he even have me as his father in his eyes? He doesn't even follow the most basic rules. He deserves to be reported to the Imperial Censor!"
What Pingyang Hou was concerned about was only the fact that Wei Tingyu ignored him. Later, he seemed not to want to, or dared not to, comment on Wei Tingyu's short-term change. It was really too scary. His heart was still beating wildly. Getting angry was just a way to divert his attention and pretend that nothing had happened.
The others obviously had the same idea, looking at Pingyang Hou, "My Lord, why didn't you say this before Wei Tingyu left?"
Several people followed suit, saying, "Yes, yes, whether you are cursing or threatening someone, it only makes sense if you let them know in person." - "Don't take him seriously. This is clearly stated on the surface."
"You should do your job well. If you are incompetent, you should know your own limitations and give up your power. This way, everyone will be better off. As long as you don't cause any trouble, I'm sure the prince will still respect you and let you live out your life in peace."
—Everyone is fine? Enjoying their old age? What the hell! You know, Pingyang Hou is only in his forties now, and he is in his prime. Just like Wenren Taibo, who is about the same age as him, he has truly reached the peak of his life, but he is already in his twilight years. How can he be willing and accept it calmly
Pingyang Hou's face darkened by more than one point. He wanted to explode, but found that he was isolated and helpless. Not to mention these clansmen, even the servants only respected him on the surface. Beyond the daily matters, they had to ask the Marquis's wife and the prince for instructions. Which head of the family was as cowardly as him? However, Wei Tingyu had a handle on him. He had no choice but to endure it. What if he just tore his face with Wei Tingyu and gave up the title? Unfortunately, he couldn't do it. Not to mention losing the title, he would be sorry for his ancestors. If he kept the status quo, he could at least have a good life. Without the title, the Marquis's mansion would be confiscated, and his luxurious clothes and delicious food would probably become coarse food.
Suddenly, the blood rushed up, my vision went dark, and the world was spinning...
Someone exclaimed in surprise, probably not expecting this to happen, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
However, the wife of Marquis Pingyang was very calm. "I think the Marquis drank too much last night and hasn't recovered yet. Help him go back and rest." In one sentence, she summed up the situation.
The others were silent for a moment, then followed suit.
That’s not all. The wife of Marquis Pingyang stood up and said, “Take the gifts that the princess prepared for everyone and share them among you. I’m sure no one will look down on them now.” After she finished speaking, she walked away leisurely.
