Chapter 126 Shen Shilang secretly loves me

Wei Zhaoxian said nothing and let Mrs. Wei scold him.

Ever since he was dismissed from office and returned home, Mrs. Wei has criticized him countless times.

Whenever I think of this, I can't help crying and complaining about him for a while.

Wei Zhaoxian had no choice but to accept it every time.

For this reason, Mrs. Wei rarely beat Wei Jianming.

Wei Jianming was spoiled by Mrs. Wei at home since he was a child, unlike Wei Jianlang who followed Wei Zhaoxian in the military camp since he was a child.

Therefore, Wei Jianming was brought up with a dandy character.

But this time Wei Jianming disobeyed military orders and made a big mistake, especially as he almost implicated Wei Zhaoxian to death. How could Mrs. Wei tolerate this?

In her heart, even her children's status is not as high as Wei Zhaoxian's.

Before Wei Jianming's wound from the military stick had fully healed, Madam Wei beat him again with a rattan stick.

However, after this incident, Wei Jianming became much more sensible and calm.

Or perhaps it was because he no longer had the protection of his father, the general, in the army, so he also kept a low profile.

After Wei Zhaoxian left, Mrs. Wei saw Wei Ruyan still sitting there, so she asked, "Do you have anything else to do?"

Wei Ruyan stood up and walked to Madam Wei, sat down in the seat that originally belonged to Wei Zhaoxian, and said to the servants in the room, "You all go down first."

The servants looked at Madam Wei, and Madam Wei nodded, "Everyone go down."

After everyone left, Madam Wei asked Wei Ruyan, "What's going on? Why are you being so mysterious?"

"Mom, I saw Shen Shilang." Wei Ruyan said.

"I know." Mrs. Wei was surprised. "Didn't you just say that?"

"He is now a first-rank official in the court, and even the fifth prince trusts him." Wei Ruyan said slowly.

"You have already said all this just now." Mrs. Wei really didn't want to hear anything related to Shen Shilang.

"Mom, father is now unemployed at home, and because of this, the situation of my eldest brother and second brother in the army is not very good." Wei Ruyan said.

"Yes." Mrs. Wei sighed, she felt worried when she mentioned this.

"My grandfather also wanted to arrange a marriage for me with Shen Shilang before." Wei Ruyan said.

Mrs. Wei was shocked. "What did you say?"

"Don't you know about this?" Wei Ruyan asked.

"I know about this matter. Your grandfather mentioned it in the letter." Mrs. Wei said, "But what's wrong with your attitude? Why do you seem willing?"

"When I saw Shen Shilang today, I really felt his power now." Wei Ruyan said, "Even Ke Hongbin and Liang Zhenggang, who used to look down on him, have to be humble in front of him."

"Our family is not the same as before. We really need someone as powerful as Shen Shilang to support us." Wei Ruyan said, "If I marry him, he will be our son-in-law. My elder and second brothers will definitely have an easier time in the army. Who dares to offend Shen Shilang?"

"Especially Shen Shilang, as the only person who can communicate with the gods, is trusted by His Majesty. As long as the gods don't abandon him, he will be able to rest assured in his high position for the rest of his life." Wei Ruyan said slowly, "I'm afraid that in the future, no one in the court will have a higher status than Shen Shilang."

"With his ambition and ability, it won't be difficult for him to become a powerful official in the future." Wei Ruyan said, "He became a royal tutor in such a short time. It's not just luck."

"You want to marry him?" Mrs. Wei was shocked. "Didn't you hate him the most before?"

Wei Ruyan pretended to be serious and said, "But for the sake of my family, I am willing to marry him."

Madam Wei held Wei Ruyan's hand on the table and said, "Ruyan, although your father has retired from the army, your brother's prestige in the Northwest Army cannot be eliminated just because they want to. And with your brother's ability, it won't be long before he can come to the fore and continue the glory of our Wei family."

Mrs. Wei was moved and persuaded: "You don't need to wrong yourself like this for the sake of your family."

Wei Ruyan thought to herself that she really wasn't wronged at all.

"Mother, it will take at least a few years for my brother to succeed, and he will have to risk his life to do this. Although my father has taken off his armor, I am happy in my heart. At least he is safe now. I don't have to worry about his life every day like before."

Wei Ruyan sighed, "Now it's my brother's turn, it's the same. I don't want to worry about my brother day and night like I worry about my father. If Shen Shilang helps, my brother's life will be easier."

"Mother, you don't need to persuade me. I have made up my mind." Wei Ruyan said, "I have been enjoying a good life at home since I was young. My father and brother have been working hard outside, making me a unique and noble person in Chong'an."

"Now my daughter finally has the opportunity to do something for the family. She is very happy and doesn't feel wronged at all." Wei Ruyan held Mrs. Wei's hand in return.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

Madam Wei was somewhat moved by Ruyan's words and said, "It's just that... Shen Shilang told your grandfather that he has few relatives and is born with bad luck. All his relatives will..."

"I think so too. Look at his parents and then look at your father. It was because he left our family that your father was able to save his life. Even so, he almost lost his life." Mrs. Wei said worriedly.

Wei Ruyan shook her head. "I don't believe what he said. He has always been cunning and scheming. I'm afraid it's just an excuse for him."

"If that's the case, how could he agree to marry you?" Madam Wei said, "I think he is very ambitious, and it doesn't seem like he can easily arrange a marriage. He must have carefully considered the pros and cons."

"Our family owes him a debt of gratitude, right?" Wei Ruyan said, "Before, my grandfather only expressed his intention to marry, but he didn't say who he was going to marry. My grandfather wanted to protect his daughter's reputation, but Shen Shilang didn't know that my grandfather was arranging the marriage for me."

"You mean..." Madam Wei frowned slightly, "If Shen Shilang knew it was you, would he agree?"

Why did Mrs. Wei think it was unlikely? She didn't know Shen Shilang very well, but she knew one thing.

Shen Shilang obviously doesn't like stupid people.

And Wei Ruyan...

Even for her own daughter, Mrs. Wei had to admit that she was not very smart.

However, the fact that Wei Ruyan could say such words today also made Mrs. Wei look at her with new eyes.

Unexpectedly, Wei Ruyan actually nodded.

Mrs. Wei was surprised. "Why are you so sure?"

Wei Ruyan said confidently, "When he lived in the mansion, he often peeked at me, but he was a very stubborn person who cared about his reputation. Whenever he faced me, he would put on a stern face as if he hated me. I know that too well."

"Really?" Mrs. Wei felt a little doubtful for some reason.

"Of course." Wei Ruyan looked confident. Facing Madam Wei's suspicion, she was a little unhappy. "He has lived in our house since he was young, and I have been with him day and night. I am beautiful and the most noble lady in Chong'an. It is normal for him to secretly like me."
