But when I came in, I saw the young master of the Wei family casually riding the maids like horses and cracking whips... treating people like dirt.
Mr. Chen thought that Boss Wei should take some time to rectify his family's conduct!
When Wei Yihong heard Chen Xian's words, he felt a slight sense of resonance, as there was some truth to them.
But after going around in circles, he suddenly didn't understand what Chen Xian meant.
Chen Xian cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry, Boss Wei, I talked too much just now. This is not what I should have said. Farewell."
After watching the man leave, he pondered the matter repeatedly.
Not long after.
Wei Guang quietly returned...
With a conflicted expression and a cautious look, she asked Wei Yihong, "What did Boss Chen say to you?"
I originally intended to say it casually, but then I thought about my family traditions.
Then, remembering that Chen Xian had deliberately sent someone away, he suddenly shut up!
The more he thought about it, the more he felt there was something going on.
He gave a perfunctory reply.
"This Boss Chen isn't as calm as he seems on the surface. When you left just now, didn't you see him bowing his head to me, saying he didn't know the pig belonged to the Wei family, otherwise he would definitely have given it 20 coins per catty."
Wei Guang smiled awkwardly, then breathed a sigh of relief.
I see.
Seeing the other person's strange expression, a sense of vigilance quietly crept into Wei Yihong's heart!
Wei Guang quickly replied, "The Third Madam threw a tantrum and then busied herself in the kitchen making chicken soup."
He rubbed his temples, looking somewhat helpless.
"Alright, you can go and rest now. I'm going to her place tonight!"
"Yes, yes, yes..."
Wei Guang lowered his head and left.
The Third Madam's Room.
The third wife was carefully sewing children's clothes at the table when she heard footsteps.
He quickly lay down on the bed, facing inwards.
Wei Yihong comforted her, "What's wrong with Qiuyue?"
The third wife was somewhat embarrassed and annoyed. "What's wrong? What's wrong? Why are you still asking..."
She touched her tummy, her pretty face full of anticipation.
Wei Yihong glanced at the small clothes on the table, then at the expectant expression on the other person's face.
Suddenly, she asked uncertainly, "Akizuki...could it be..."
Qiuyue got out of bed and punched his shoulder. "It's been a month already. My periods have always been irregular... I thought there was something wrong with my health?"
Wei Yihong opened her arms and hugged him, a tender look on her face.
With an excited expression, he said, "Good, good, good! That's perfect! I knew the Wei family would thrive and prosper."
The third wife covered her mouth, feigning complaint, "I just got the news and was just about to tell Master, but he still scolded me!"
A look of grievance appeared on her snow-white face, and her rosy lips pursed.
Wei Yihong looked distressed. "Alright, alright, it's all my fault. I'll apologize and make amends, okay?"
The third wife chuckled and said, "Then, sir, shall we sleep here tonight?"
"Okay, okay, let's make this clear beforehand. You can't move around recklessly. You're pregnant, so you can't do anything silly."
"Virtue!"
The third wife's pretty face showed an expectant look. "Do you think I'm having a boy or a girl?"
Wei Yihong said seriously, "Boys are good. I will teach him to read and write, and hire more tutors for him. If he is talented enough, he can focus on the imperial examinations. His family will definitely support him!"
If you're not naturally gifted, then go into business with me and become a wealthy man in the future!
The third wife looked unwilling.
"What if they give birth to a daughter? Sir, you won't abandon me, will you?"
Wei Yihong laughed and said, "A girl is fine too. She can grow up to be a well-bred lady. If she wants, we can find someone of equal social standing for her."
Find a commoner farmer you like, give him some money, and have him marry into our family.
In this way, our daughter can stay by our side forever, isn't that great?
The third wife then stopped crying and smiled, saying, "My lord, you are so kind!"
She snuggled into Wei Yihong's arms and finally said earnestly:
"Ideally, it would be a boy, just like the master, who would manage the vast Wei Mansion, conduct business, and establish the family business."
Of course, it would be best if one's temperament were like that of the master, or even the eldest son, calm and composed, able to remain calm and collected in the face of adversity, and not to jump up and down in a hurry when trouble comes.
I hate those wayward kids the most, like Wei Chen, sir. You have no idea, that kid is the most mischievous, or rather, you wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe him as ruthless...
Treating maids and old farmers like livestock...
Wei Yihong's body suddenly stiffened.
The third wife quickly shut her mouth, glanced at her cautiously, and looked somewhat frightened.
Oops, I blurted out what was on my mind.
“Sir, I didn’t mean to speak ill of him.”
"I mean, my sister doesn't know how to properly educate him. Wei Chen, you have no idea that he treats those maids and the old gardeners who tend to our garden's precious flowers and trees like horses in the courtyard."
He grabbed the maid's braid, forced her to the ground, and stomped on her face!
"Master...Master..."
He shouted a few times.
Wei Yihong was having a hysterical episode.
What suddenly occurred to Wei Yihong?
He thought of what Chen Xian had said in a roundabout way, what he meant by the eldest son's temperament being the same as his own, with a calm and composed demeanor.
What does it mean to reap what you sow?
Moreover, Qiuyue is now telling herself that her future child should have the same calm and composed demeanor as her.
Wei Yihong suddenly seemed to understand something.
These people are simply saying that your son will be just like you!
The more I thought about it, the more something seemed off.
Chen'er has a rebellious and unruly personality, which is completely unlike my own.
I don't think I treat my servants this badly.
It's nothing like me.
And that child's brown eyes, while I clearly have black eyes just like her mother, who do I look like?
Wei Yihong suddenly asked the Third Madam, "Qiuyue, who do you think Chen'er is closest to most?"
The third wife chuckled and said, "Are you confused? Of course it's with his mother."
"Anything else?"
The third wife was taken aback.
"I also have a misconception..."
The third wife quickly shut her mouth, got off the bed, and said, "I'll go get some chicken soup for the master."
Wei Yihong pulled her arm and held her close.
"Qiuyue, do you not even trust me anymore?"
Aside from business, I practically spend all my time in your room. Don't we have any intimacy at all?
Qiu Yue swayed slightly. "Master, you're the one who told me to say this, aren't you?"
She whispered quietly in Wei Yihong's ear.
His body suddenly swayed.
Somewhat unbelievable!
Then it suddenly dawned on me.
He whispered to her, "Go find those maids who were whipped by Chen'er today, I need them very much!"
Under the cover of night... darkness breeds, and filth is hidden very well, but it will always be discovered when dawn breaks.
