    “Born with a beautiful face? Do you know that only concubines serve people with their color, and that high families marry wives and wives of virtue, and emphasize the importance of the right family, and when does it depend on people’s appearance?”

    “That’s right, how about being a concubine? It’s better to be a royal concubine or a concubine of a noble family than a peasant’s wife, isn’t it? How can being a farmer’s wife help our Wei family?” Wei Mingyong asked rhetorically.

    “Ridiculous! A fallacy! Has my Wei family fallen to the point where I need a woman to help the family?”

    “What’s in that? Third brother, you need to stop being so stubborn! Look at that Qi family, wasn’t it when Noble Consort Qi gained favor that Lord Qi was able to be a fish out of water in the court? It’s not like this is something to be ashamed of.”

    “A load of crap!”

    “Third brother can say whatever he wants, anyway, it’s father and mother who are going to make another arrangement for Ruo’er’s marriage now. Third brother should still make preparations early and send Ruo’er and Wanwan together to the capital to prepare for the marriage!”

    Wei Mingyong also did not continue to argue with Wei Mingting, anyway, as long as there are parents, his third brother can not do things according to his own preferences.

    “I will write a letter to speak clearly with my parents about this matter.” Wei Mingting was unwilling to say more to Wei Mingyong, threw off his sleeves, and walked briskly towards his study.

    Wei Mingyong confidently rushed at Wei Mingting’s back, “Go ahead and write the letter, and see who Mom and Dad listen to then!”

    Cang Yun Yuan.

    Learning that the Second Elder, who was far away in the capital, had intervened in his eldest daughter’s marriage, Yun murmured softly, “This Second Elder, has finally done something decent.”

    “Ma’am, if the Second Master acts like this, the Master is afraid he’ll be angry.”

    “The master has always been a filial one, and it is useless for others to say anything about this matter, but the old master and the old madam’s intention, even if the master has objections, should not be disobeyed.”

    Immediately after that, Yun instructed Cui Ping and the others, “Remember, when the master returns, do not mention this matter.”

    “Yes, ma’am.”

    ###

    Lookout Plum Court.

    “What you said is true?” Wei Qingwan looked at Cui He with a somewhat ugly expression.

    “It’s true, the second master himself said it with someone, and I also heard from the subordinate serving over in the main hall that the master was in a huge temper.”

    Wei Qingwan bit her lower lip tightly, “Second Uncle is confused in what he does.”

    “Yes miss, the second master doesn’t know what to think, but even wrote a letter to the old uncle old lady in the capital early, and now the old uncle old lady is putting pressure on the old master, and the old master has to follow.”

    “Did Grandfather and Grandmother say what arrangements they made for Wei Qingruo?” Wei Qingwan asked.

    “The slave girl doesn’t know.”

    Wei Qingwan had a grave expression on her face.

    “Miss, don’t worry about it, even if the old master and the old madam arranged another marriage for the eldest young lady, it can’t be higher than you, miss, to go!” Cui He said with certainty.

    “I’m just afraid that something will change again.”

    Who knows if there will be a second variation after the first?

    ###

    Listen to Pine Court.

    “Miss, what can we do?” For the first time, Xiu Mei acted so anxious, pacing back and forth in front of Wei Ruo like an ant on a hot pan.

    This, more than any of the previous events, made Xiumei anxious.

    Wei Ruo’s face was equally unpleasant, although it didn’t show it like Xiu Mei.

    “Let’s first see if there’s still a way on father’s side.” Wei Ruo said.

    If Wei Mingting didn’t have a solution, there might really be no solution.

    “If Master can’t do anything about it, do we really have to go to the capital? Although you said you wanted to take your business to the capital in the past, Miss, but that was to do business not to marry in the capital!”

    “Soldiers come to block the water to cover the earth, you don’t worry, really want to force your family miss me anxious, I’m not good I let the whole family have no peaceful days!” Wei Ruo comforted Xiu Mei said.

    Xiu Mei sighed helplessly, “If only you, Miss, had been born in an ordinary family, this Zhongyi Burial Mansion can bind people to death!”

    Wei Ruo laughed: “Born in an ordinary family may not be able to live well, and not everyone is as understanding as Nurse and Uncle Xu. When it comes to that unreasonable and rule-filled family, I will also be restricted in every way. We can’t help it, we were born in such a world.”

    Xiu Mei couldn’t help but say, “I really want to see that world you’re talking about, miss, the world where girls can also live the life they want as they please.”

    Wei Ruo said, “In fact, even in the world I’m talking about, women have a lot of helplessness, and are not really able to do as they please. So instead of complaining about the injustice of the world we live in, we should do our best to live as happily as possible under the limited conditions.”

    Xiu Mei nodded, “Miss I know. Don’t worry, no matter where you go, no matter what you’re going to do, I’ll stay by your side and protect you!”

    Wei Ruo reached out and hugged Xiu Mei, “Mei Mei is the best.”

    ###

    Wei Mingting wrote the letter immediately after his quarrel with Wei Mingyong and ordered his close friends to send the letter to the capital by fast horseback.

    However, without waiting for him to receive a reply, the people sent by the Zhongyi Burial House arrived.

    The one who came was Sister Jin, the old Sister of the Zhongyi Burial Mansion.

    Sister Jin was the old madam’s beloved, her seniority in the house was older than Sister Li, and her status in the Zhongyi Burial Mansion was higher than that of Sister Li.

    Even the three brothers Wei Minghong Wei Mingyong Wei Mingting had to give the old grandma a few points.

    As soon as Sister Jin arrived, she explained to Wei Mingting and Yun the meaning of the old uncle and the old madam in the capital, to take the two young ladies Wei Qingruo and Wei Qingwan to the capital to be married.

    Inside the main hall, the atmosphere was serious.

    Wei Mingting and Yun were seated in the hall, and on the left seat sat Wei Mingyong with a smug smile on his face.

    Sister Jin stood in the center of the hall and explained her intentions to Wei Mingting and Yun, who were seated:

    “Third master, third madam, the second young miss is going to finish her marriage with the sixth prince in the second half of next year, when she will be married from the uncle’s house, she should return to the uncle’s house earlier to wait for her marriage, and then be taught the rules by the sisters in the house. The eldest young lady will go with the second young lady this time, the old madam’s intention is to arrange the eldest young lady’s marriage before the second young lady finishes her marriage, time is running out so I hope the two young ladies will depart as soon as possible.”

    Wei Mingting had respect for Sister Jin, but he didn’t agree with the Sister’s words.

    “Sister, I have no objection to Wanwan going to the capital, but Ruo’er’s marriage has yet to be finalized, so please wait until I have communicated with my parents.”

    “Third Elder Master, the old master and the old madam have guessed that you would hesitate, so they specially sent the old slave to come and fetch the two young ladies. If Third Master doesn’t believe me, the old slave here also has a handwritten letter from the Old Master.” Sister Jin said as she handed over the long-prepared letter.

    Wei Mingting took the epistle and read it with a grave expression on his face.

    Wei Mingting did not say anything for a long time, his expressionless face was a bit scary, and Yun’s heart could not help but tense up.

    Wei Mingyong got up and said, “Third brother, Sister Jin has said it all, so don’t be stubborn anymore. Just put your heart inside your stomach, father and mother will find a good marriage for Ruo’er in the capital, and it definitely won’t be any worse than that poor scholar surnamed Zhao you’re looking for here!”
