Chapter 221: Love of Face
Seeing Zhao's words, Zhao Yunchu also echoed, "Master, what my aunt said makes some sense."
Qin Shangzhi must not lower his posture too much, and certainly not compromise.
Otherwise, Wang would definitely take the opportunity to drive her out, and she would have no place to stay in the family.
"But, mother..."
Qin Shangzhi hesitated. "Since Wang Shi returned to Beijing after the disturbance, I have been demoted over the past year. Now I don't even have a job. I can only stay at home and wait for orders. It can be seen that the Wang family also cares about her as a legitimate daughter."
"If I am not polite enough and my attitude is not good enough, I am afraid that Wang Shi will not be willing to reconcile with me, and I am afraid that Wang Family will not let me go easily."
"The Wang family is just trying to save face."
Zhao disagreed. "After all, it is our own daughter who has come back to the capital with great fanfare to seek support. If we do nothing on the surface, it will appear that we are not protecting our family. Others will also stab us in the back and say that the Wang family is afraid of our Qin family."
"They are just pretending to be powerful and want you to come to Beijing so that they can get out of this situation. Now that you are here, they will save their face and naturally won't care too much."
"A married daughter is like spilled water. A legitimate daughter is still a daughter and cannot escape this principle. It's ok to just be nice on the surface. It's common for a man to have three wives and four concubines. If the Wang family supports this matter, wouldn't it be a joke?"
"At Wang's age, and with the blood of our Qin family, she has no other options in the future. Apart from reconciling with you, can she still get married, or can she live in her parents' home for the rest of her life?"
"Let alone other things, the fact that Wang Shi does not live in the Wang family mansion but in a farm outside the capital is enough to show that the Wang family does not value this legitimate daughter very much. You should listen to your mother, that's right!"
Qin Shangzhi thought for a moment and nodded after hearing this, "What mother said makes sense."
Wang really had no other choice but to go back to the Qin family.
At worst, I can talk to Wang and ask her to spend two more days in her yard every month than in Yunchu's yard.
But speaking of this matter, Wang was married in a formal ceremony and gave birth to a son. Her position as the legal wife and legitimate son could not be shaken by anyone. Yet, she was so jealous. Not only did she not help him to find people to serve him, but she also made such a fuss because of Yunchu's matter. This kind of character is really not good.
This time, when Wang returns home, I will teach her a lesson and let her learn how to be a good wife and mother...
Seeing Qin Shangzhi's answer, Zhao Yunchu was completely relieved.
As long as Zhao and Qin Shangzhi have the right intentions, it doesn't matter if Wang is the legitimate daughter of the Wang family or has a noble status. She will always have the possibility of ascending to the throne.
Although it is not common to favor a concubine and kill a wife, it does happen, right? The three of them all had their own little thoughts, and they did not speak at this time. The carriage was silent.
The carriage moved forward slowly, and after another half an hour, it arrived in front of a farm.
The driver stopped the carriage and Qin Shangzhi got off first to check.
Although it is called a farm, what comes into view is actually an extremely spacious house. Not to mention that the edge of the blue brick and glazed tile wall is difficult to see at a glance, even the entrance of the house is very tall and looks magnificent, not inferior to the entrance of the royal house in the capital.
It was just a farm in the suburbs, but how could it be built so magnificently? And the Wang family didn't know how many farms like this one there were, but he didn't know any of them...
After all, he is a son-in-law and an outsider to the Wang family.
Qin Shangzhi felt sad and walked forward to knock on the door.
When the gatekeeper saw Qin Shangzhi approaching, he opened a corner door and came out to ask, "Who is this gentleman?"
"My surname is Qin, and I am..."
As soon as Qin Shangzhi finished speaking, the doorman asked in surprise, "Your last name is Qin?"
"That's right." Qin Shangzhi nodded, "This is the Wang family's farm, right? Your lady is my wife..."
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" The doorman waved from the corner door, "Go and tell the young lady that someone from the Qin family is coming."
The tone was urgent and the person was panicked.
Qin Shangzhi was stunned for a moment, then raised his chin.
It was just as my mother said, the Wang family treated him like this only for the sake of face. Now that he was here, even the people below were so excited that they couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Qin Shangzhi stood up straighter and even asked Zhao and Zhao Yunchu to get out of the car. The three of them stood at the door together, with arrogance on their faces, just waiting for the people coming back to respectfully invite them in.
Soon, the door opened and Mother Li came out with a few people.
"Master Qin." Mother Li did not even step down the steps at the door, and her tone was even colder, "Did Master Qin bring the divorce papers with him this time?"
Divorce letter? Qin Shangzhi was stunned. "Of course not. I came here to invite your young lady, oh no, your wife, to come home."
"Oh?" Mother Li raised her eyebrows and glanced at Zhao, who was arrogant beside Qin Shangzhi, and Zhao Yunchu, who kept her head down and always looked pitiful and as if it had nothing to do with her. Her anger suddenly rose to her forehead.
"Please ask my young lady to come home?" Mother Li snorted coldly, "That old servant is a little confused. This is the first time I see someone come to apologize to his wife, and bring his cousin along."
This is not inviting the young lady home, it's clearly causing trouble for the young lady! "Or is it that Miss Zhao knows she is wrong and wants to come and apologize to my young lady, and never step into the Qin family's door again?"
Zhao Yunchu's heart trembled, and his body swayed, and he was a little unsteady on his feet.
Zhao couldn't stand it any longer. She pointed at Madam Li and started to scold her. "How can a servant like you be so loud here? Why should Yunchu apologize? It's Wang who is the eldest wife but is jealous and can't tolerate others!"
"Let me tell you, not only will Yunchu not apologize, she has already entered the Qin family and is Shangzhi's legitimate concubine. Wang Shi has to acknowledge her whether she wants to or not!"
"Go back and tell Wang that if she knows the severity of the situation, she should pack up and return to the Qin family immediately. Then tell her family not to embarrass Shang Zhi anymore. If that's not possible, then my Qin family can only write a letter and drop it in front of your Wang family's door!"
By then, the Wang family girl would be divorced and sent back home, where she would be completely disgraced in the capital!
"It seems that we can't reach an agreement on this matter." Mother Li gritted her teeth.
Just as the young lady said, Zhao looked down on her from the bottom of her heart, and Qin Shangzhi was also a man of inaction. Such a husband's family was really unacceptable.
"Someone come here!" Mother Li shouted angrily, "Show the guest away!"
Maids and servants had already stepped forward and picked up the buckets that Mama Li had asked them to prepare.
