Chapter 401 How Dare You?
"Okay, thank you, doctor." Su Jixiang saw the hesitation in the doctor's eyes and heard his hesitant tone, so he knew that the person inside was fine.
Since there's nothing wrong, there's no need to drag the doctor here to argue.
After paying the consultation fee and asking for a prescription, Su Jixiang ordered someone to send the doctor away.
The doctor had just left when a woman's voice came from the end of the corridor.
"Husband! I heard that you were so angry that you collapsed?" The voice came before the person saw the shadow. The voice sounded quite young and crisp, but there was a bit of delicate and artificial tone in the tone.
Everyone's eyes were drawn to the direction where the sound came from.
Two maids holding lanterns were leading the way, and a graceful woman came from the end of the corridor.
Her steps were graceful and her manners were elegant. She walked like a willow tree supported by the gentle wind, and had some of the demeanor of a female role on the stage.
She cried as she walked, and it didn't seem like her husband was sick, but rather that her parents had died.
As she walked towards Su Jixiang, she looked up at Su Jixiang.
Su Jixiang saw many emotions in that one look, but the most common one was disgust.
Then her eyes drifted towards Wei Ling.
After her eyes met Wei Ling, she was obviously stunned for a moment. After being looked at coldly by Wei Ling, she slightly shifted her gaze away. However, at the moment of passing by Wei Ling, she turned her body towards Wei Ling, not knowing whether it was intentional or not.
Wei Ling only felt a fragrant breeze coming towards his nose. He couldn't help but frown and move slightly to the side.
The fragrance was so strong that it made his nose feel a little uncomfortable.
Su Jixiang couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.
"Who are you?" Wei Ling couldn't help but scold her when he saw her rushing towards the inner hall.
"Me?" The woman stopped immediately when she saw that it was Wei Ling who was asking the question. "I am Chengwu's newly married wife! Ruan, you must be the nephew that Chengwu was talking about!"
Wei Ling glanced at Su Jixiang, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
The secret agents he left in the capital would report news from the capital to Mangcheng every day, but he only paid attention to the developments in the court and never thought of leaving two spies in his own home. On the one hand, he felt that his family did not need these things, and if there was anything, his uncle would naturally find someone to tell him. On the other hand, he trusted his uncle too much.
My goodness, this time when he came back, nothing around could scare him, but the series of things happening at home really made him overwhelmed!
Su Jixiang gave him a knowing look.
Wei Ling then started to laugh.
Yes, he was overthinking it.
When his uncle quarreled with him before, he didn't think much about it, just thinking that his uncle felt unwilling and unfair. Now think about it, with such a young and graceful uncle and grandmother coming, doesn't everything become clear?
This is to earn some money for this uncle and aunt!
"Are you so rude when you meet your elders?" When the woman saw that Wei Ling still didn't take her seriously even after she introduced herself, she couldn't help but show some anger in her eyes.
"Haha. Hello, elder." Out of respect for his uncle, Wei Ling bowed to the woman although he was reluctant.
"What about you!" The woman glared at Su Jixiang.
Su Jixiang also bowed upon seeing this, "Greetings, elder."
"Humph!" Ruan sneered, "Before you came back, Chengwu told me about your affairs. After all, Chengwu is the only elder left in the Wei family. Is this how you treat an elder? If Chengwu gets angry with you, I will not forgive you even if I file a complaint to the emperor!"
She first gave Wei Ling and his wife a bluffing but weak lecture, and then went straight into the inner hall.
Su Jixiang walked over and gently pulled Wei Ling, indicating that the two of them should go out and talk.
Wei Ling followed Su Jixiang into the yard.
"Madam, please speak up if you have anything to say!"
"Do you see the source?" Su Jixiang pointed to the inner hall and said quietly.
"Yeah." Wei Ling nodded.
"This matter is not difficult to resolve. It depends on how much face you can give up." Su Jixiang said in a low voice. "If we really fall out, we can get the house back. I'm afraid it will leave a bad reputation to the outside world. It can also be regarded as a handle for His Majesty."
"I know." Wei Ling's expression changed and he nodded.
It seems that this uncle is being so unreasonable because of his new wife.
So, as Su Jixiang said, if he tore his face off, the house would definitely be his, and his uncle would definitely not get any benefits, but once he did so, it would definitely be publicized all over the capital. At that time, His Majesty would really have a handle in his hand. If His Majesty used him to disrespect his elders in the future, it would not be impossible to reduce his power. After all, scholars put filial piety first, and Wei Chengwu had suffered with the Wei family. At that time, he would be criticized verbally and written, and although he didn't care much, the Wei family's reputation would be tarnished.
He was unfilial at first, and if he did not respect His Majesty's decree, he would be disloyal. With such disloyalty and unfilial behavior, this reputation will eventually fall on the Wei family!
"Let's wait and see, and try to solve it better." Wei Ling thought for a moment and whispered to Su Jixiang.
"Let's send someone to investigate this woman first!" Su Jixiang raised his hand and pointed inside.
Wei Ling nodded.
Before, he trusted his family too much, so he didn't put any energy into this.
If we had discovered this earlier, we wouldn’t be so passive now!
Soon, the people inside began to look for someone to carry Wei Chengwu away.
"The old man can't live here." Ruan came out and said loudly, "Come here, send the old man back to Fenghuaju."
Upon hearing the word Fenghuaju, Wei Ling couldn't help but clench his hands into fists at his sides.
Su Jixiang pulled him gently, and his tense muscles relaxed a little.
"Are you living in Fenghuaju now?" He spoke slowly.
"What's the matter?" Ruan's phoenix eyes drifted towards Wei Ling with a bit of natural charm.
"That's where my parents live!" Wei Ling said in a deep voice, "How can you live there!"
When Wei Chengwu, who had just been carried out, heard this, he immediately began to groan again. "Oh, this unfilial son! I'm so angry that my chest hurts again!" He groaned and glanced at Wei Ling.
Wei Ling's gaze seemed to be soaked in ice. With just one glance, Wei Chengwu's humming voice became a little weaker.
