In the mind of Marquis Anyang, his children are tools to help him consolidate his position.
In order to rise to prominence and achieve wealth and glory, he sacrificed his dignity and became a prince consort. The status of prince consort brought him power, wealth, and beautiful women, making him obsessed with money and luxury. In order to keep the Wei family in the capital and to prosper the Wei family, he fawned over the princess like a dog. Later, when his mother and concubines plotted to murder the princess, he knew about it, but he turned a blind eye. As long as he could get rid of the eldest princess, he could escape humiliation and be the master of the princess's mansion. When he learned that his mother wanted to kill his eldest son, he acquiesced. Because only with the eldest son's death could he truly be the master of the family. Otherwise, the servants in the princess's mansion would only listen to his son.
When everything he wished for came true, he married Concubine Liu as his second wife. His dream of being surrounded by beauties was shattered because Concubine Liu was jealous and secretly executed all those women.
He couldn't touch her because she held too many secrets of her own. They would prosper together and suffer together.
The emperor took his anger out on him, took back the princess's mansion, and sent him back to the Anyang Marquis's mansion. He became a laughing stock among his colleagues. His family fell into poverty, so he set his sights on his children.
He wanted his crown prince to marry the prime minister's daughter, the Crown Princess's half-sister. With connections to the Crown Princess and the prime minister, the Wei family would surely regain its former glory. Later, hearing that the ninth princess of Tartar was seeking a consort, he set his sights on her. Although Tartar was a defeated nation, being a consort to her was still a good opportunity.
He intended to marry Wei Mingzhu to Xie Jinyu, the grandson of Grand Tutor Xie. That's why he nurtured her, hoping that marrying into the Xie family would help restore the Wei family to its former glory. But instead of becoming the elegant, dignified, and intelligent person he envisioned, his daughter has become uneducated, arrogant, and domineering. Now, she's even more foolishly trying to kill her entire family.
"Mo Xue, take Miss Wei away and give her a good lecture. Ask her to speak out against those ignorant young ladies. This princess will go to the palace tomorrow and talk to the emperor."
In front of Marquis Anyang and his wife, Gao Zhijun asked Mo Xue to take Wei Mingzhu away, torture her severely, and produce the list of names of the rich girls who had slandered her.
"Yes, Princess!"
After Mo Xue finished speaking, he took Hong Yue and escorted Wei Mingzhu to the backyard.
"How dare you! I am the daughter of a marquis, who do you think you are?"
Wei Mingzhu had her hands held by two people and couldn't struggle free. She angrily scolded Mo Xue and Hong Yue.
Both of them ignored her and carried her back.
Wei Mingzhu couldn't break free, and she was terrified. She begged for help from her parents: "Dad, Mom, save me!"
The Marquis' wife was anxious and wanted to save her daughter, but was stopped by the Marquis of Anyang.
I can't offend the princess and ruin the Wei family just for the sake of a daughter.
"what happen?"
At this moment, a stern old woman's voice came from outside.
"Grandma, save me!"
When Wei Mingzhu heard her grandmother's voice, she seemed to have seen a savior and asked her grandmother for help.
When Old Madam Wei walked into the main hall, she saw her granddaughter being held by two maids, crying bitterly, which made her heartbroken.
Sitting in her seat was a young girl, who was pretty and very pretty.
Kneeling below are his son, daughter-in-law and two grandsons.
"Who are you? Why are you hurting my granddaughter?"
Old Madam Wei did not receive the title of Lady of Imperial Concubine, she was just the old lady of the Marquis’ Mansion.
"Grandma, she's the one who wants to kill my granddaughter. I'm so scared. I have to stand up for her!"
When Wei Mingzhu saw her grandmother who had always loved her, her confidence returned and she boasted even more.
"How dare you! Let her go!"
When Mrs. Wei heard that someone was going to harm her granddaughter, she immediately scolded Mo Xue and Hong Yue.
The maids beside her immediately stepped forward, trying to pull Mo Xue and Hong Yue apart and rescue the young lady. Before they could even get close to Mo Xue, they were kicked away by Cang Lang and Qing Long. The two maids curled up on the ground in pain, crying out in agony, "Ouch! This is killing me!"
Seeing this, Madam Wei's personal guards were about to teach Canglang and Qinglong a lesson, but suddenly they heard a cry of "Stop!", frightening them so much that they dared not move.
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Marquis Anyang immediately reprimanded the guards.
If they really take action, the Wei family will be finished!
Gao Zhijun winked at Mo Xue and Hong Yue, and the two of them carried Wei Mingzhu away.
"Grandma, save me! Grandma, save me!"
Wei Mingzhu, who was taken away, was so scared that she cried out to Madam Wei in pain, asking her to save her.
"How dare you! Who are you?"
When Mrs. Wei saw her son stopping her men from rescuing her granddaughter, she was very anxious and angry.
"Mother, she is Princess Xiangyun. Hurry and pay your respects!"
Marquis Anyang explained.
"Even if she's a princess, she can't act so recklessly in the Marquis' Mansion and arrest people at random. If the Emperor knew about this, he would definitely blame her."
"Son, are you going to let her run rampant and domineering in the mansion?"
Old Madam Wei was really mad at her incompetent son.
A little princess, powerless and ignorant, just a little smart, adopted as the emperor's daughter, what is there to be afraid of?
"Mom, please stop talking!"
"Grandma, this is all my sister's fault, so please stop talking."
"Grandma, the mouth can cause trouble, be careful with your words!"
"Mother, please save Zhu'er!"
The Wei family was so scared that they quickly told Madam Wei to shut up and not add fuel to the fire, otherwise, the Wei family would be really finished.
"Old Madam, is that right? This princess will not bother with you this time because of your age, but if you speak rudely to me again, I will not forgive you."
Gao Zhijun saw that Huo Jinqian looked at Madam Wei with a bad face, so she wanted to take him away to avoid ruining the plan.
