Chapter 67: A man with a foreign wife is like spilled water
The Minister of War Ling Ruyue bowed and said.
"Your Majesty, this matter can be left to me."
"Well, I'll leave it to you. I hope you can come back with hope for the people."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Ling Ruyue thought that even if she had to search all the hills in Yue County, she would find the high-yield grain varieties that the princess mentioned.
Ten stones, at least ten stones.
Whenever Ling Ruyue thought about it, her heart would beat fast, and she wished she could run out and plow two acres of land to calm down.
Afterwards, Jing Chengji discussed important matters of the court with Zhuge Ming and others, and the prescriptions in the book submitted by Jing Han were also distributed after the reasonable "responses" of several people.
Zhuge Ming and the others were all smiling and in a very good mood until they left the palace.
Wei Zheliang's good mood ended when he returned home and heard the housekeeper say that a girl was visiting outside.
Wei Zheliang had already instructed the butler, so the butler reported it. Otherwise, it would be impossible for an unknown person to meet a second-rank minister casually.
Wei Zheliang's face suddenly turned cold, "Please ask her to come in."
Wei Zheliang's voice sounded quite gnashing of teeth.
Wei Lehuan also took his father to the study. On the way, he told his father how outstanding the girl was. His father was not happy when he heard that the girl was a commoner.
Thinking of Wei Zheliang's love for his son, he felt that Wei Zheliang would probably not agree to this.
Wei Lehuan had no idea that his father also disagreed.
Before the girl arrived, Wei Lehuan and his son arrived at the study.
"The wife."
"You're here."
"Mother."
"Um."
Perhaps because Wei Zheliang's face looked really bad, Wei Lehuan didn't dare to act rashly.
Although his mother was usually very kind to him, Wei Lehuan was also afraid when she got angry.
According to the rules, Wei Lehuan's marriage has not been cancelled yet, so that person should not be invited to come.
But Wei Zheliang had made up her mind that even if Wei Lehuan broke off the engagement with the girl she liked, she would not agree to Wei Lehuan's relationship with that "girl".
"Le Huan, is there anything you're hiding from mother?"
Wei Zheliang asked again.
This time, there was no trace of guilt on Wei Lehuan's face.
"Mother, how dare your son?"
Wei Zheliang was extremely disappointed, and his face became even colder.
Ke Lan's heart skipped a beat. He felt that his wife had never been so angry before.
Ke Lan frowned, "Le Huan, tell father, are you really not hiding anything from your mother and me?"
Wei Lehuan's heart skipped a beat. He hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head firmly.
He thought that if he told it now, he would be harming Xu Lang.
Ke Lan had been paying attention to Wei Zheliang's expression, and sure enough, Wei Zheliang's expression seemed even colder.
"Master, this is Miss Xu."
"My humble name is Xu Wen, nice to meet Aunt Wei and Uncle Wei."
Wei Zheliang said.
"Call me Lord Wei."
"I'm sorry, I don't know the etiquette. Greetings to Mr. Wei, Mr. Wei, and Young Master Wei."
"Mother, this is at home, not in the officialdom. Why are you so strict?"
Wei Zheliang scolded.
"Shut up, you have no right to speak."
Wei Lehuan shut up for a moment, but stood in front of Xu Wen very stubbornly, silently resisting Wei Zheliang.
"Master Wei, it's my fault. Please don't blame Young Master Wei."
"Master Wei, Master Wei is doing this for your own good. Please don't make Master Wei angry."
This Xu Wen seemed to be able to act with moderation.
Even when she deliberately made things difficult for him, he remained polite.
If she hadn't known this man's sinister intentions in advance, she would have had a good impression of Xu Wen the first time they met.
Xu Wen looked at Wei Zheliang sincerely and said.
"My Lord, I know I have nothing now, but I have a sincere heart..."
Wei Zheliang laughed out loud.
"Haha... Sincerity? How much is sincerity worth? Can it give my son a life of luxury? You still know you have nothing. Why should my son, who I raised with my heart, suffer with you?!"
"Sir, I will definitely work hard to make sure Young Master Wei and I can live a good life. I promise."
"What guarantees can you offer? You're quite eloquent. How can a commoner like you beg the son of a second-rank minister? Who gave you the courage?!"
If Jinghan was present, he would definitely say that it was Liang Jingru who gave him the courage.
Even though Wei Zheliang ridiculed Xu Wen so directly, there was no dissatisfaction in Xu Wen's eyes.
Wei Zheliang felt that something was really wrong.
It is impossible for a person to have no temper at all.
If he is clearly dissatisfied but can still pretend to be so sincere, that would be really scary.
Wei Lehuan, it’s not that she looks down on her son, he is not even worth the toy of one hand. By then, she is afraid that Xu Wen will make him suffer. Wei Lehuan even thinks Xu Wen is doing him good.
Before Xu Wen could say anything, Wei Lehuan jumped out impatiently.
"Mother, I am willing to endure the hardships with Miss Xu... Besides, Xu Wen has a lot of talent, but he just has bad luck. And, mother, don't I still have you?"
Wei Zheliang looked at Wei Lehuan deeply.
"You, a son-in-law of a foreign wife, are like spilled water. Once you marry out, you are no longer a member of my Wei family. What does your life have to do with me? Even if I want to help, I will only help you. Besides, don't you have sisters? Why should I put resources on outsiders instead of my own daughter? If you treat me as your mother, I am just as stupid as you."
Wei Lehuan felt aggrieved.
"Mother, when did you become so powerful?"
Ke Lan growled in disapproval.
"Le Huan, don't talk to your mother like that."
Wei Zheliang's heart ached so much that it felt numb, and the painful feeling was gradually decreasing.
Wei Zheliang looked at Xu and asked.
"No matter what your intentions are, I will not agree to your relationship with my son. Just give up on this idea. Not to mention that you are just a commoner now, even if you were of the same status as me, I would not give my son to you."
When Wei Lehuan heard this, he started shouting and threatening.
"Mother, if you don't agree, I will hang myself."
Wei Zheliang's love for Wei Lehuan as his son was gradually eroded by him.
Ke Lan was shocked, "Le Huan, stop talking nonsense."
"Father, I'm telling the truth. If you don't let me be with Miss Xu, I feel like life is meaningless."
Wei Lehuan stiffened his neck and retorted.
Wei Zheliang roared in anger.
"Then you go die."
Wei Lehuan was stunned by Wei Zheliang's roar, but the next second, Wei Lehuan was about to hit the pillar, but was held tightly by the housekeeper.
"Young Master, please don't do anything stupid. The head of the family is doing this for your own good."
"If you really want to do this for my own good, you should agree to my marriage with Miss Xu."
