Chapter 107:
"Mother!" Wei Heng had just sat down and stood up again after hearing the words. His voice was a little sulky: "My wife is gentle and virtuous, how can she be the evil woman you say is disturbing the peace in the family!"
His immediate and gentle temperament made everyone in the study a little surprised by his sudden loudness, and they were all silent for a moment.
Mrs. Liu was also stunned by her son's roar. After she realized what she was doing, she put her hand on her heart and pointed a finger down at Wei Heng. Her fingertips were trembling and her voice was trembling: "Okay, okay!"
Her eyes were sour and she cried: "It seems that my son was also instigated by that poisonous woman. They say that he has forgotten his mother after marrying a daughter-in-law. Second child, you yell at your mother because of a woman, but you are worthy of me." Give birth to you?"
She seemed extremely sad, and tears that could not be held back fell down her cheeks. When Wei Heng saw her, his expression was anxious and painful.
“Mother, you personally hired Ms. Jiang for me. You have praised her for her kindness and generosity more than once in the past few years. Why are you blaming her for everything now?
Wei Heng smiled bitterly and said: "In the days since I returned to Beijing, Ran Ran has been wronged at home. She is not a three-year-old child. She has her own opinions and judgments. Others can instigate her with just a few words."
It was obviously his parents who were unkind as elders and had made the younger generation feel sad, but they still refused to admit that they were wrong. They wanted to blame everything on their daughter-in-law. Wei Heng had so many emotions in his heart that it was really complicated.
His tone was not serious, but the implicit blame made Wei Ping, who had been watching with an old spirit, feel a little distracted.
Even Mrs. Liu, who was wiping tears, stopped moving when she heard this.
Her own child knows that her son has a gentle character and is not accustomed to arguing with others, let alone his biological mother.
Over the years, as long as her eyes were a little red, her son would not say another word no matter how serious his complaints were.
Now, he can look at his mother with eyes red from crying and defend his wife over and over again.
If Mrs. Liu was only unhappy with her second daughter-in-law because her two daughters had accidents one after another, then listening to her son's defense of her at this moment, this superficial dislike has turned into real hatred.
As expected, the virtuous woman's virtuous appearance was all fake, and her ability to win over her husband in private was truly amazing. She was a good son who was taught to be like this.
Ms. Liu was so filled with hatred that her tears fell in long strings.
“Okay, just say a few words.”
Wei Ping on the side held his old wife's hand, patted it comfortingly, looked at his second son who was standing stiffly, and said calmly: "Your mother is not good in all ways, but she is also very motherly to you. You love your wife. I can’t hear your mother saying that she is not good at all, but have you ever thought that it is natural for a mother-in-law to choose a daughter-in-law? How do you put your mother as an elder? "
Every word of what my father said made sense, but after careful analysis, I felt that it was nonsense.
Wei Heng paused slightly, but because of his unfilial thoughts, he did not say anything.
"Now that the second brother is the Duke of the country, his back is a little stiffer." Wei Huan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly interrupted and said with a hint of ridicule: "It is really a good thing for a woman to disobey her own mother."
Wei Heng was a little angry at his brother's taunting words. How could his wife, who had been with him for more than 20 years, be summed up as an insignificant "one woman"?
But his mother was crying so sadly that he couldn't bear it in his heart. After a short pause, he still opened his mouth to apologize.
With this apology, the tense atmosphere that had been stiff for a long time finally relaxed. Several concubines on the side who had not spoken yet all breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though there was a dispute among the direct lineage, they, as concubines, were of insufficient status and could not even get in the conversation. However, they all relied on the shadow of the family. This was because they did not want to see internal strife within the family.
According to Wei Huai's opinion, it would have been fine if he had been scolded like this in the past, but now that the second brother has become the Duke of the country, it is no different.
Even if they are biological parents, it is not easy to rely on the grace of procreation. The affection will dissipate, and even the person with no temper will have negative scales.
Take a step back 10,000 steps to say, what are the benefits of provoking the second brother and wife?
You must know that Wei Heng won the title of Duke because his father is more important than his daughter.
…That is not his daughter alone. If the couple really gets into trouble, the future crown princess may not necessarily help anyone.
As all his sons could think of, Wei Ping would not fail. He calmed down and asked his son who had made amends to sit down.
Just when he was about to say something, a servant knocked on the door of the study, and an anxious voice came in through the door and window: "Master Marquis, the Crown Prince is here."
Everyone in the room was shocked.
Wei Ping was the first to react. He stood up abruptly and said to his old wife, who was still wiping away her tears: "Wipe all your tears and follow me to meet you."
…
Xiao Junzhan has been in power for seven years, and there are only a handful of occasions when he visits the gate of a minister's house without being invited to a banquet. The purpose is to visit the ladies in the house, which is even more surprising.
Is this still their prince who is immobile, in his twenties and has no concubines yet, and is so upright and self-possessed as to be a pure man outside the world?
Xiao Junzhan arrived suddenly. Except for Weiping and the others who were discussing matters in the study, they arrived in time. The other female family members, including the Jiang family, arrived a little late because they lived far away.
Hurrying in under the scorching sun, Mrs. Jiang's forehead showed a thin layer of sweat, she knelt down and saluted, and said, "I respectfully welcome Your Highness."
Although Xiao Junzhan didn't go to many banquets with ministers, he should have met Jiang a few times in the past few years. However, he was not a person who would stare at the wives and daughters of his ministers, so this was the first time in his memory that he had seen her. Jiang family.
He lowered his eyes and glanced, thinking that his Ran Ran was indeed more like his mother. He nodded slightly and said goodbye, then asked: "Where is Ran Ran?"
His voice was soft and gentle, but he conveyed his intention without any greeting, which made everyone's hearts skip a beat.
Ms. Jiang even choked up and said, "My little girl is afraid of the heat. She is currently hiding in her yard to escape the heat."
Hearing this, Xiao Junzhan’s expression softened a little and he said, “Send someone to lead the way, and I’ll go and have a look at her.”
Having never thought that he would be so direct, Jiang choked up again and was forced by the majesty of this 'son-in-law'. After a pause, he said respectfully: "...Yes, Your Highness, come with me."
…
In midsummer, the heat was very strong, and Wei Hanzhang was most afraid of the heat. Jiang was very fond of this delicate girl. When she returned to her, she was provided with the best food, clothing, housing, and transportation within her ability, and she was not aggrieved at all. I couldn't bear to make her suffer.
Knowing that his daughter could not bear the scorching heat, the ice cubes sent to Tingfeng Pavilion were never stopped. These days, Wei Hanzhang never left this room, which had a constant supply of ice, unless necessary.
At this time, she was lying lazily on a soft chair, holding a piano score in her hand and turning the pages from time to time. There was also a plate of iced grapes on the small table next to her, which was quite leisurely.
Hearing the knock on the door outside, he thought it was Lu Lan coming, so he raised his voice and said, "Come in."

In addition, today I saw several comments from readers of this book under my last book...
…Different from this book, my last book was quite sadistic. The male protagonist almost made me stupid. The female protagonist has the attributes of a scumbag. If you can't accept it, please don't read it...
Of course, if you like the male protagonist who is crazy about it, and the female protagonist makes small stories and abuses the male protagonist, you can feel free to enter it, you will not be disappointed.
Finally, please vote~~~~
