After returning home, she tried to persuade Wei Shuyun to break up with her lover Xu Shao, but Wei Shuyun refused. The mother and daughter couldn't convince each other either.
Because they drank a few more glasses of fruit wine at our house, the aftereffects kicked in, and without thinking too much, the mother and daughter got into a heated argument.
It was quite a coincidence that Xu Shao happened to be visiting Wei Chen at the Wei family home. When he saw that his beloved was defying his mother's pressure for his sake, he took her into his arms.
This scene was witnessed by your grandfather's student and Wei Jin. Once they heard the reason for their argument, what was there left to be unclear!
Yue Fuguang saw that Zhang was truly heartbroken. After all, the Wei family girl was the daughter-in-law she had chosen, but she never expected her to be such a dissolute girl.
It's one thing to have someone you like, but you can't have your cake and eat it too.
She comforted her, saying, "Mother, don't be sad. We haven't even married her yet. It's fortunate that our family knows about Wei's character so early!"
"Isn't it a stroke of luck?" Zhang said with a smile, taking Yue Fuguang's chubby little hand in hers. "Fuguang is our family's lucky star. If it weren't for you, your older brother would have been in grave danger this time."
Madam Yu also agreed wholeheartedly, and sighed, "It's also because my eldest grandson and the Wei family girl are not destined to be together. They were supposed to get married last year, but because the girl's grandmother passed away and she needed to observe mourning, the wedding date was changed to this year. As a result, the girl injured her leg at the beginning of the year."
The wedding had to be postponed until early next year, and then this happened. It seems like fate is against them; there's something in the dark preventing their marriage.
"Little Pearl, has Fang Tiandao interfered in my elder brother's marriage?"
[Master, I can only see things that happened in the past and are recorded in history. As for things that aren't recorded... I don't think the Heavenly Dao... has that much free time!]
"I understand. Never mind, it's okay if you don't know. Now, can you check if there are any problems with the girls in this picture book?"
After finishing his casual conversation, Yue Fuguang began to slowly look at the girls in the picture book. It must be said that although most of the figure paintings by ancient painters were not realistic, the girls in them were undeniably beautiful.
They all scored seven or eight out of ten in terms of looks, and there were even two who scored nine. Putting everything else aside, their faces alone were very pleasing to the eye.
【Master, the young lady in your hands is fine, but her brother, although he is the heir of a marquis's family, is very useless. He is good for nothing but literature and has caused a lot of trouble in the future.】
This girl had a very good relationship with her husband after she got married. However, her brother was a handful, and her husband's family had many complaints about her. Fortunately, her husband was considerate and knew how to protect his wife.
"Since they're already destined for each other, we shouldn't interfere! Although the eldest brother can't marry her, please mark this for me. This older brother needs to work on himself and grow up; what's the point of always dragging his younger sister down?"
This Miss Mu is quite talented, but she has been frail since childhood, and her health has deteriorated somewhat over the years.
"Being in poor health shouldn't be a big deal, right? At most, we can give her a health-boosting pill later. It's no big deal!"
[That's not the point. The point is, this girl loves romance, poetry, wine, flowers, and tea; she's clueless about practical matters and dislikes socializing. Your elder brother's wife is the future matriarch, so let's not make things difficult for her!]
"What you say makes sense. So, what about this Miss Xu?"
This girl likes her childhood sweetheart, her cousin.
"Then forget it. Although consanguineous marriage is bad, we can't break up a couple in love. Nor can we find another person for my older brother who already has someone he loves."
"And what about this Miss Wu?"
This girl was born to the first wife and lived under the care of her stepmother. Her father was a scumbag who didn't care about anything, and her stepmother only cared about her own children. She was fiercely competitive with her stepchildren and could be considered a master of domestic power struggles...
"Stop, that's enough. Mark this one too. If she's a talented person and she's willing, we'll get her out of here. We don't need her scumbag father and stepmother!"
Talented people should be placed in suitable positions to shine; what's the point of keeping them confined to the back of the house causing trouble? It's a waste of their abilities!
The factory she plans to build in the future will require a lot of management talent. If she doesn't want to do the work herself, she'll have to find capable people to help her!
Next, Yue Fuguang took out a few more girls, either because the girls had good marriage prospects and she couldn't bring herself to break them up, or because their families had questions about them.
What she initially thought was a simple problem turned out to be incredibly difficult to find a suitable sister-in-law.
"And this one, County Princess, your mother is a royal princess."
Do you know what this girl's nickname is? Aman. Don't believe what's written above about her gentle nature; she's the complete opposite of those words.
This girl lived up to her name; she was extremely willful and capricious, especially towards the servants around her. She would beat and scold them constantly, and several of her personal maids died. Later, she was pushed to her death by a maid who had been beaten to the point of anger.
Her personality was actually spoiled by her parents and older brother, especially her father and her eldest brother, both of whom were bad people.
On the surface, it seems she was the one who killed the person, but in reality, it was her older brother who did it all; she was just a scapegoat!
"Are these two siblings really that cruel? Doesn't the Princess's Mansion know the nature of their children?"
Is this a marriage alliance with the Yu family or a feud?
Madam Yu and Madam Zhang frowned secretly upon hearing this, as they had met this Princess of Funing County at the banquet.
Although she was the daughter of a princess, she was very down-to-earth and had a good reputation. She was also dignified and polite in her dealings with others. I never expected that she would have such a personality behind the scenes.
Although she was spoiled and schemed against by her own older brother and father, her own personality can't be called good either!
How could parents not know what their own children are like, especially the father who always keeps his distance? He knows everything perfectly well.
This is not because Princess Taikang, although Emperor Mingxi's sister, was an unfavored, semi-transparent princess.
The prince consort only held a sinecure, and the two sons born to the princess were also disappointing. The family had been away from the center of power for a long time.
This isn't because they see you've been favored by the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Empress lately, and they want to use you to get close to them and help their family return to the center of power.
So when they learned that your older brother was thinking about marriage, they set their sights on him.
This is called Xiang Zhuang's sword dance aimed at Liu Bang!
Their family felt that no matter what, as long as the two got married, her mother would at least be a royal princess, and her daughter would at least have the title of county princess.
Your grandfather and father, as subjects, were bound to tolerate this out of respect for the imperial family!
"Heh!" Yue Fuguang snorted coldly. She was not one to suffer losses. If someone wanted to scheme against her and she tolerated it in her current status, she would only be looked down upon.
