Chapter 425 – Negotiating Terms

Mingzhu’s expression was permeated with contempt: “Missy you are the master is not false, but you have lived in the countryside for many years, and now you have seen the most prominent family is only the Yuan family of Taizhou Prefecture, there are still a lot of places to learn, all have to be slowly cultivated before you can be a good marquis family housewife. Just like these broken altars you brought from the countryside, the third master and the third madam are willing to spoil you, but when you arrive at the Burmese House, the bad habits that should be changed still have to be changed.”

“I’ll decide whether or not I want to be a good marquee mother, if you’re not happy to see me like this, I can show you all what kind of out-of-tune things a countrywoman who has lived in the countryside for thirteen years can do at a wedding.” Wei Ruo hooked her lips and smiled.

“What do you mean by that, Missy?” Ming Zhu looked at Wei Ruo uncertainly.

“Want me to marry an old man for the benefit of this family, and still want to restrict me at every turn, and discipline me as if I were a prisoner? Rabbits will bite when they’re anxious, and when I’m pissed off, I’ll go crazy and show everyone, and see if the wedding can still be moved on, and if the Marquis Xuanping residence still wants me.”

Ming Zhu stared at Wei Ruo with wide eyes and a look of disbelief.

“What are you up to? Is it hard to believe that you want to make a big fuss about the wedding?” It was as if Ming Zhu had heard something frightening.

Wei Ruo asked rhetorically, “Can’t you? Being in the Burmese government, do you not know that there are people who can do this? Then I can tell you, that year, Widow Li of the Mo Family Fence was forced by her brother to remarry, and when she didn’t, she took a knife and chopped up an old hen in front of the people who came to her door to propose marriage and threatened to chop up anyone who dared to let her marry again!”

“Do you realize that if you make a scene at the wedding, your whole life will be ruined! Not to mention getting married, you won’t even have a place to live!”

“Of course I know that, but I’m ruining myself while also dragging the entire Wei family down with me, and no one will be better off if I’m not happy. I wonder what kind of punishment you, who is responsible for teaching me the rules, will receive? Will you be beaten to death with a stick or sold out?” Wei Ruo spoke shocking words in a calm tone.

Ming Zhu was instantly dumbfounded and stared at Wei Ruo with a slightly dumbfounded expression.

Wei Ruo hooked the corner of her mouth and spoke leisurely, “Now it’s the Wei family that wants me to work for their benefit, so if you want me to cooperate, follow my rules.”

Mingzhu looked at Wei Ruo with an exasperated look, “I will tell the old master and old madam what you just said, Missy, in its entirety!”

“Go ahead.” Wei Ruo didn’t mind at all.

“Hmph!” Ming-tsu grunted, then huffed and walked out of the room.

Wei Ruo looked calm and waited in the room for Ming Zhu to bring help over.

Although she arrived at the capital’s Zhongyi Burial Mansion much later than in the original story, the nature of the people in this mansion had not changed.

For example, this Mingzhu, she is not simply arrogant and unselfconscious as a servant who has nothing to do with her as a master, she does so with her purpose.

She was showing her loyalty to Wei Qingwan, wanting to teach her a lesson for Wei Qingwan.

Although on the surface of the good sound, she and Wei Qingwan are high marriage, but who can compare out, married to do Xuanping Marquis wife of her future can be far less than the Emperor’s marriage to do the Yu Wang side consort of Wei Qingwan.

She this marquis wife said good sound is a lady, in fact, can not stand firm in Xuanping Marquis House are not good to say.

Marquis Xuanping’s first two wives gave birth to those sons and daughters are not oil lamps, is a well-known ruthless role. In the future, the Marquis Xuanping immortal, her so-called stepmother still do not know what kind of days to live.

Wei Qingwan is not the same, even if it is a side consort, that is also the most likely to become the Crown Prince Yu Wang’s side consort, his day desire to ascend the throne, his side consort at least to be sealed four consorts, and may even be a noble consort, if he can mother with the son of a noble and the opportunity to go further.

It is natural to distinguish between the lesser and the greater.

I want to come back to the house of the Li Sister did not less with the following people to pass certain signals, such as sisters do not get along, such as Wei Qingwan still have to select a few maids to bring to the Yu Wang House and so on, resulting in the self-righteous smart Pearl so quickly put into action.

Similarly, Wei Ruo also knew something about the old master and the old madam, so she had already thought of the latter’s response when she said those words to Ming Zhu.

After a short time, Sister Kim arrived.

“Eldest Miss, the old madam asks you to come over.”

Sister Jin had come with Wei Ruo from the Taizhou Mansion and hadn’t had much contact along the way.

Her attitude towards Wei Ruo was colder from the start, as she and Sister Li were handkerchief friends and had always been on good terms.

Her poor attitude towards Wei Ruo was in part to take it out on Sister Li.

But she only dared to give Wei Ruo some looks at some specific times, and dared not do much more, and was much more restrained than Sister Li.

“Good.” Wei Ruo didn’t have a problem with that, and got up and followed Sister Jin towards Shou An Hall.

Xiu Mei followed Wei Ruo closely, looking a little nervous, afraid that the old madam would dispose of Wei Ruo in a while.

At this time, the Shou’an Hall was very clean, the old master was not there, and the other children and grandchildren were not there, just the old madam and the serving subordinates.

After Sister Jin led Wei Ruo in, the old madam greeted Wei Ruo with a kind face and came to sit beside her.

“Ruo’er come to me.”

Wei Ruo walked over very calmly and took a seat next to the old lady.

Old Lady Wei once again sized up Wei Ruo carefully, her gaze looking kind and pleased, “I heard Sister Jin say that you told Mingzhu that if she couldn’t let you have a good time she would have to act crazy and cause trouble at the time of the wedding to disrupt the wedding?”

“Right.” Wei Ruo admitted very frankly.

Upon hearing this Old Lady Wei scrutinized Wei Ruo for a while, then sighed slightly.

“Indeed, it is difficult for you to learn the rules. What’s more, judging from your performance in the Taizhou Prefecture, you are a sensible person and don’t really need to learn the rules. It’s just that your grandfather, he was never very assured, which is why he sent Mingzhu over to teach you.”

“Then can grandmother agree to my conditions, so that I can live a more comfortable and painful life in the mansion during this period of time?” Wei Ruo asked.

“I’ll find a way to speak with your grandfather and will make as many arrangements for you as possible so that you can get married happily.” Old Mrs. Wei didn’t dare to say too much.

“Good.” Wei Ruo agreed.

Old Lady Wei smiled, then said to Wei Ruo: “You are a smart and lucky child, since you came to the Wei family, the family has been blessed with good things. Your father has been able to turn good fortune into good fortune on several occasions and has risen through the ranks, your elder brother has been recognized as a high school graduate, and your father’s letter says that even Yi Lin, who has always been disobedient, has become obedient and progressive.”

Wei Ruo didn’t answer, just listened quietly.

Old Lady Wei went on to say, “And those gifts you sent grandmother before grandmother received, very much like, you have heart.”
