Chapter 5 I Want to Marry Him

He sat up suddenly: "Yes, it only said that Xie Wei would marry, but didn't say who must marry, so doesn't that mean I can replace my sister..."

After walking around the room twice, she said, "No, no, Xie Jingyu likes my sister. If I marry him, what if he gets angry?"

She sat on the stool again: "Well, he doesn't look like an unreasonable person. Otherwise, I will pretend to like him and insist on marrying him. I guess with his nice personality, he won't be too embarrassed to reject me."

Stroking the teacup, he said, "After we get married, I will tell him the truth and make him a servant and guard to calm him down. When he meets a girl he likes, I will divorce him and let him pursue true love. He is so nice, he won't blame me, right?"

He happily took a sip of tea, but choked due to his excessive excitement: "Ahem, let's do it!!"

The next morning, the main hall of Xie's house was in chaos.

Wei Qingcheng blushed and said, "Father, my sister cannot marry Prince Hexuan!"

"Son, stop talking nonsense. The emperor's decree has already been delivered. Hehe, our family can't escape this great wealth!" Wei Fu stroked his non-existent beard, his face filled with joy as if he had passed the imperial examination. Looking at Wei Qingcheng's sneaky appearance, he said, "Why are you standing so far away with your ears covered?"

"Father, it's not easy for me to live until now, right? I am the treasure of the whole family, right?" Wei Qingcheng still covered his ears.

Wei Fu answered with certainty: "Of course! My son is Mingzhu, Huiyue, and Tianshangxian, so he is naturally the treasure of the whole family. Why are you asking these questions so early in the morning? If you have nothing to do, go and accompany your elder sister to choose dowry. There are several good shops in the north of the city. If your elder sister likes any of them, please write them on the dowry list. These are your sister's confidence--"

Wei Qingcheng's face flushed red, she clenched her sleeves with both hands and shouted, "Father, my sister can't get married!!"

Wei Fu asked casually: "Why?"

"Because, because, I want to marry Xie Jingyu!

I, I like him!

Adore him!

Thinking about him day and night! !

I will never marry anyone except him in my life! ! "Wei Qingcheng shouted out everything she had memorized from the storybook last night.

Mother Wei saw this scene as soon as she arrived at the hall. Her husband, who was wise and brave and had been engaged in business for most of his life, was now dumbfounded and sat on a small stool in the hall like a wooden chicken. Her son, who had always been well-behaved and polite, stood at the door with his hands covering his ears and his cheeks flushed, as if he was about to run away. She asked curiously, "How did this happen--"

The husband who was sitting on the stool just now seemed to have teleported: "I will beat you to death! Don't run, you bastard!"

"Father! Daddy! My dear daddy! I am Mingzhu, Huiyue, and Tianshangxian, the treasure of the whole family!!" As expected, the son was no match for the father. Just as the son wanted to run, he was blocked by his father at the door.

"Mingzhu, right?" The son's left ear had been pulled up by his father.

"Huiyue, right?" The right ear was also doomed.

"A fairy in heaven, right? Today your father will send you back to your hometown to become a fairy," the old man was not satisfied with just pulling his ears, so he freed one hand to reach for the feather duster hanging on the wall. This gave the son an opportunity, and he scratched the old man's armpit twice. As soon as the old man loosened his hand, the son flew out of the house.

"Don't run away, you bastard! You are going against moral principles and ethics. You have read so much that you have become a dog. I will beat you to death today!"

"Dad, hiss, be gentle!"

What a farce! It would be better if the people involved were not her husband and son, Wei's mother muttered to herself.

After a long while, the Wei Mansion finally quieted down, and everything was laid out in the open -

As the old saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father. Wei Qingcheng was protected by her family before and after her rebirth. Except for the incident in her previous life where she was murdered, everything went smoothly for her. She had no major hardships. She had a simple mind and could not hide anything. Wei's father found out the truth with just a little intimidation and questioning.

Father Wei and Mother Wei sat in the hall, sighing one after another.

Mother Wei wiped her tears and rubbed her son's red and swollen ears: "Son, your hands are made of flesh. Your sister can't get married, so you have to live under someone else. This is a great shame for a man, my son!"

Wei Qingcheng couldn't help thinking about her own death in the previous life. She wondered how her parents would be sad, who her elder sister and cousin's child would look like, whether her brother's business was connected to the north and south, and who would be Xie Jingyu's virtuous wife...

Father Wei's face no longer had the cheerful look he had in the morning: "This was supposed to be a happy event. Liu Ziyan is really... If they had gotten engaged earlier, things wouldn't have turned out like this. Qingcheng, it's dad's fault. Does your ear still hurt? You've been weak since you were a child. I didn't dare to hit you anywhere else, for fear of hurting you. Alas..."

Wei Qingcheng followed her mother's movements with a firm look on her face. "Father, mother, I have been in frequent contact with the prince recently. We are friends. He even sent me back home at midnight on the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Silly child, that doesn't mean he will marry a man. What's more, Qingcheng, are you really willing to marry a man? Is this what you want in your heart?" Mother Wei put aside the handkerchief she used to wipe her tears and held her son's hands, which had never practiced martial arts and had never worked.

After hearing the last sentence, Wei's father also looked at his son. In fact, he didn't know his son very well over the years. He never thought that the spoiled boy who was raised by the family would be inferior to others for the happiness of his sister. Although his way of handling things was immature and even childish, and his fanciful ideas were great, he was not led astray after all. Just based on his son's innocent heart that was willing to sacrifice everything for his family at this moment, Wei Lifu would be proud of him for the rest of his life.

"Forget it, stop talking nonsense. Your father will go to the palace tomorrow. Our family will pay for the food of the soldiers at the border next year. At worst, we can go to jail. As long as we are together as a family, anything is fine."

Wei Qingcheng's eyes were moist. This was why he always believed in his family.

But he recalled his past life, when the Prime Minister's Mansion became a river of blood overnight and the Emperor was furious when millions of people were killed. He was terrified just thinking about it. Their family sounded like the richest in the world, but in reality, they were just a merchant family.

The emperor allowed their family to do business and they could make money. If the emperor was unhappy, the money would become military expenses after the whole family died. By then, new wealthy businessmen would appear. How could the huge Longyuan Kingdom be without their family?

After thinking it over, he knelt on the ground, straightened his back and spoke again: "Father, mother just asked me what I was thinking. I am unfilial and I am afraid that I will not be able to serve you all the time in the future. The prince is what I want in my heart. No matter how people's hearts and minds change in the future, I will never regret it."

"What the hell is in your heart!"

Father Wei looked at his son's strong back and actually felt some true emotions, just like when he proposed to Junru in the past.

But this inexplicable feeling of emotion was not enough to make him allow his son to be inferior to others.

He walked away with a cold face.

In the evening, he went to the accounting office to sort out the account books. When he passed by the main hall, he saw a man kneeling at the door. When he looked closely, it was his second son who shouted that he wanted to marry the prince.

Father Wei clenched his fists, snorted, and walked towards the accounting office without mercy...
