Chapter 25

"What's wrong with Mr. Li's conditions?"

"I say, old man, are you really confused or are you pretending to be confused? I have investigated Mr. Li. His family has been poor for generations and no one has been an official. Moreover, his family only has a few dozen acres of land. How can such a family marry us?"

"What?! Li Xue, Li Xue, you and I have been married for so many years, and I didn't know when your standards had become so high? In terms of these conditions, I was not as good as Li Xiucai at the beginning! Why did you like me at the beginning? Li Xiucai is a man of noble character, and his knowledge and talent are among the best among his peers. He will definitely have a bright future. He is many times better than those ignorant rich boys!"

Li Xue muttered softly: "Who knows what will happen in the future? By the time he has a promising future, it will be too late..." The

reason why she chose Fei Ming at the beginning was that she made a great decision and gambled with her own future. Now that Wanwan is in such good conditions and there are plenty of people to choose from, why bother to gamble again?

"What did you say?"

"Master..." Li Xue changed her tone and softened her voice, "I'm doing this for the Fei family! That man is the third son of the Earl of Zhongqin's Sheng family, a legitimate daughter. If Wanwan marries him, it will be so honorable. And even if our family is married to the Earl of Zhongqin's Mansion, with this relationship, it will only benefit you in the court in the future. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"

"You have a good plan, but what about now? The third son of the Sheng family is already married, why is the bride not Wan'er? It's a waste of Wan'er!" When this was mentioned, Fei Ming became furious and his face looked ugly.

"This, this is an accident. Mr. Sheng said before that he loved Wanwan and he would come to propose marriage and marry Wanwan in a grand manner. Who knew that Mr. Sheng would turn his back on her afterwards!" "

Then you just pretend that this incident never happened and let our Wanwan suffer such a shame?" Fei Ming was so angry! "

I really have no choice. The Sheng family took advantage of their power to bully others and said that it was our Wanwan who seduced them. They also said a lot of ugly things and even spread the word that if we dare to make trouble, they will let everyone in the capital know that Wanwan was unruly, seduced men, and lost her virginity because of it..."

Fei Ming was so angry that he slammed the table!

"How, how could there be such ignorant and spineless people like you! Don't you see that the Earl of Zhongqin's Mansion is beyond your reach? But you insist on rushing there! Not only have you lost your chastity in front of others, but you dare not ask for an explanation. You can only swallow your anger and act like a coward! I really am..."

Fei Ming was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

But Li Xue still didn't think she was wrong: "Didn't the daughter of Ning Yun's family also date the Third Young Master Sheng of the Earl of Zhongqin's Mansion before? Why can't our Wan Wan do the same?"

"Oh my God! I think you are a nobody who has climbed into the brothel - you don't know your own weight! How can our family be the same as that of Taifu Wei? Taifu Wei is a first-rank official, his wife is the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Ning's Mansion, and their eldest daughter is also praised by everyone in the capital, and everyone is vying to propose marriage to her. Their daughter is matched with the Third Young Master Sheng of the Earl of Zhongqin's Mansion. They are well matched, even more than suitable! Look at our family again. With our conditions, how dare you set your sights on the Earl of Zhongqin's Mansion?!"

"Master, you can't belittle yourself like this, can you? You are now a person favored by the emperor after all. It is not certain who will be better than whom in the future! Besides, our Wanwan is not bad either..."

Seeing Li Xue's hopeless look, Fei Ming was speechless!

He said directly: "Li, Li, I'm telling you today, I, Fei Ming, am only this capable. If you want to count on me to catch up with Master Wei one day, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. And the children in our family are not tools for you to realize your vanity. Don't interfere in their affairs in the future."

"You, you, what did you say?" Li Xue looked at her in astonishment, as if she didn't believe what she heard was the truth.

Fei Ming didn't care what she said and continued, "Also, because you and my mother didn't get along before, I set up another yard outside and let my mother live alone outside. Now it seems that it is unnecessary. If people know about it, I will be accused of being unfilial. I will go to pick up my mother tomorrow. My mother is still able to manage things now. Since you can't manage this family and educate the children well, I can only be unfilial and trouble my mother to manage this family for the time being!"

Li Xue almost roared, "Fei Ming, you, you can't do this to me!!! You know that your mother has always disliked me. When she was here, she always found fault with me and wanted to give you another room. She, she didn't have any good intentions!" "Maybe I

should have listened to her a long time ago. I was too good to you before. Now it seems that my mother sees through it."

"You, what do you mean?" Li Xue was shocked and pulled Fei Ming's sleeve.

"I've said this, don't you understand? If you really feel aggrieved, I am willing to give you dignity and divorce you. Anyway, you have never been sincere to me from the beginning to the end."

After saying that, he was too lazy to say another word to her. He pushed her away and strode out of the house without looking back.

Li Xue collapsed on the ground, covering her face and sobbing.

Although her husband was not as good as Wei Taifu, he was also a successful official with a bright future. More importantly, he listened to her and obeyed her, and his children were respectful and filial to her...

So why did it become like this?

Wei Mansion.

Wei Taifu has returned to his mansion.

Mrs. Wei was worried about Wei Yinuo, so she asked Master Wei about Wei Yinuo

's situation on the street today. But she never expected to hear about Li Xue.

Mrs. Wei was also stunned.

To be honest, if Master Wei hadn't mentioned this person today, Mrs. Wei would have almost forgotten Li Xue.

Unexpectedly, a person she almost forgot about has been harboring resentment towards her all the time in these decades, and even secretly fighting with her.

Mrs. Wei herself may not care, but Li Xue, will she really feel happy by doing this?

So, why do some people do this?

For an imaginary enemy in the heart, indulge in jealousy all life. Such people, no matter how much they have, I am afraid it is difficult to truly be happy.

Seeing that his wife was a little depressed because of this matter, Wei Taifu quickly changed the topic.

"Madam, now the court has silver to be used for disaster relief in the south. Since that's the case, our family doesn't have to live in such a tight situation. How about asking the servants to buy some meat today and asking the chef to make a richer dinner?"

"Okay, these children have been asking for meat every day recently..."

The two were talking when a servant outside the door suddenly came to report.

"Master, Madam, people have been delivering a lot of meat, including pork, chicken, duck, and so on. Steward Lin doesn't know what to do, so he sent a servant to call you to take a look!"

"Huh? Someone is delivering meat? Do you know who is delivering the meat?"

Madam Wei asked doubtfully.

Their master has always been an honest official and has never accepted bribes from others. In the past, people had delivered gifts to the door, but they were all rejected. Over time, everyone knew the character of Master Wei, and no one dared to come to the Wei Mansion to give gifts anymore. Why did someone suddenly deliver things to the door today?

"I don't know either. Those people are so strange. They left immediately after putting down the things. When I asked them, they just said that someone paid them and they were only responsible for delivering the things to our house. They don't know anything else..."

Wei Taifu was suspicious. Meat? Oh my god, could it be that the gang of old men sent it?

"Let's go and take a look!"
