Chapter 87:
Chapter 87
"Your Highness the Crown Prince?" Wei Hanzhang was stunned for a moment, with just the right amount of surprise on his face. He thought about it carefully and then said: "After my granddaughter returned to Beijing, she went out to have banquets with her mother-in-law a few times, or she went to other houses with her mother-in-law. My sister went to play with other noble ladies and never met His Highness. This is all for sure. "
"Oh?" Wei Ping suddenly raised his eyes and looked straight over, and said, "You mean, today is the first time you met His Highness, and he helped you with his own hands?"
Wei Hanzhang said without hesitation: "My granddaughter doesn't know why your highness is helping you, but today is indeed the first time I meet his highness the prince."
Wei Ping closed his eyes slightly, as if he was lost in thought and stopped talking. Liu on the side took over.
She looked at her biological granddaughter carefully from top to bottom with a gaze that could be called scrutinizing, and then said slowly: "Well, Yi Ranran, you can see for yourself, does His Highness have any other intentions for supporting you today?"
"Mother!" Wei Hanzhang had not yet spoken. Wei Heng, who was sitting aside, couldn't help but said: "Ran Ran is still a girl who has not yet had haircuts. How can she ask such a question?"
"Is there anything you don't want to ask?" Mrs. Liu said, "If His Highness has no other intentions, then Ran Ran will have to start discussing the marriage with the Qian family. Otherwise..."
She paused for a moment and sighed: "On the other hand, our Wei family may have a real phoenix."
As soon as these words came out, the room was silent for a few breaths, and everyone felt a sense of disappointment.
But in my heart, I didn’t find this result too difficult to accept.
After all, His Highness has always been very indifferent to women. How could he have such thoughts towards a girl whom he had only met once before she had hair extensions?
I'm afraid I really treated her like a child and helped her...
The silence in the room was broken by Wei Hanzhang.
She pursed her lips and said bluntly: "I don't want to discuss marriage with the fourth son of the Qian family."
Wei Ping still closed his eyes and turned a deaf ear to her words. After he was sure that the prince had no other thoughts about this granddaughter, how could he care about anything else.
Ms. Liu no longer acted kindly, and she quietly sipped her tea without saying a word.
Neither father nor mother spoke, and the prince Wei Huan also remained silent.
Wei Hanzhang was suspended in the air by their indifferent attitude, and when he was feeling embarrassed, a gentle voice came from the side.
"What?" Wei Heng, his biological father, was present, so he asked, "Why did Mr. Qian's husband annoy us Ran Ran?"
Wei Hanzhang, who had been ignored, felt a sudden soreness in her nose when she heard this, but she quickly held it back. She opened her mouth and recounted in detail, word by word, the story of Qian Chengyun and his wife coming to see her.
At the end, she said firmly: "I don't want to marry a man like him who is ready to spoil his concubine and destroy his wife before we get married."
"A concubine is a concubine, no matter how favored she is, how can she be better than my wife?" Mrs. Liu, who had not spoken before, before waiting for Wei Heng to speak, said bluntly: "It's just a concubine. He is so hot right now. Who knows how many years he can be favored?" , Don’t be so short-sighted and compare yourself to the despicable people.”
"Whose husband doesn't have a few concubines and maids in his backyard? Is it because your uncle Jiang's house doesn't have any, or is your father's backyard clean? Is it worth your care?"
Mrs. Liu vented all the anger she had received from her son on the granddaughter she had never raised before her knees, and scolded her coldly: "If you don't want to marry this one, don't marry that one. You think you are a girl who has been disowned, and you still have to choose." Can’t do it?”
"The elders make the final decision on marriage matters. Go and ask whose girl is like you, talking about her own marriage. I don't know how the Jiang family teaches you, but now that you have returned home, the rules will be given to me. Learn from others, don't be so reckless and impulsive." Thinking of the previous warning from her confidant, Mrs. Liu said with a stern expression: "For a girl to be married to, her reputation is the most important thing. Don't indulge in temporary anger and verbal disputes. , and ruined the reputation.”
The candles in the room were brightly lit, and Ms. Liu's voice was loud and clear. Wei Hanzhang lowered his eyes and listened, his face gradually becoming dull.
The two windows in the study room were still open, but there was no cool breeze coming in on the sultry summer night. Logically speaking, she should feel hot, but now she was standing in front of the hall, and her back, which was still a little hot, felt inexplicably cold.
It cools itself without wind.
She did not directly admit that she knew Xiao Boqian personally, and that she would read out the imperial edict of conferring the title of Crown Princess after she was born, because she felt that she did not have a sense of belonging in the Wei family.
After returning to Beijing, things happened one after another. In the huge Zhongyong Hou Mansion, apart from Jiang and Wei Heng, Wei Hanshuang was the only one who made her feel the care of her family.
As for his grandmother Liu, who always looked kind, but acted coldly and neglectfully, and... his grandfather Wei Ping, who showed no kindness even when asked a few times, they were worse than strangers to Wei Hanzhang.
On the way to the study, she made up her mind and wanted to try out what her "elders" would do to her if she was still the Nine Niang of the Wei family who had broken off the engagement and had no relationship with His Highness.
Although she had experienced the indifference of the Marquis to family affection after the Wei Hanyu incident before, she had some understanding and had made some preparations, but it was still different when it came to the situation.
This is her biological elder. After knowing that she has nothing to do with the prince, her attitude changes. It is shocking and heart-warming.
At this moment, she was sternly scolded by Mrs. Liu. Except for Wei Heng, who looked anxious and spoke to save her, her grandfather Wei Ping never opened his eyes from beginning to end, and her uncle Wei Huan didn't care about her.
Because in their eyes, she has no value, she is an insignificant girl with a determined future, and is not worth mentioning, so naturally they don't need to listen to her ideas.
Wei Hanzhang smiled coldly in his heart, so...
She did not speak again, but Wei Heng argued with his mother for the sake of his daughter.
Finally, Wei Ping, who had been keeping his eyes closed and silent, spoke, ending the inquiry triggered by His Royal Highness the Prince's personal visit to the Marquis Mansion to help Wei Hanzhang.
Out of the study door, Wei Heng walked a few steps with his daughter and said comfortingly: "Ran Ran is at ease. Dad is here and I will never let you marry someone you don't want to marry."
Thinking about his parents' attitude tonight, he sighed deeply.
"Don't blame your grandmother. When it comes to the marriage of her children and grandchildren, the first thing she values is." She stretched out her hand and patted the young girl's shoulder slowly, "Your grandmother does it for your best from the bottom of her heart. She only wants you to marry into the right family. Don’t let others look down on you.”
Wei Hanzhang said nothing.
In my heart, the mirror seemed to be. Where did Liu do not want to ask others to watch her low?
Perhaps, but it is more for the sake of the reputation of Wei Mansion.
As long as she marries into the Qian family who is also a prince, there will not be so much talk about her granddaughter being renounced.
If it is a low-income family, it is difficult to say.
The above conditions are that it doesn’t matter how out of place the granddaughter marries, it’s just that she brought an outside room to see each other, so the relationship will naturally be the same as the relationship between the two.
