Chapter 214 Changes in Weiyuan General's Mansion
In Amu's opinion, whether a man is capable or not, and whether he can gain the respect of his brothers, has little to do with whether he is a live-in son-in-law or not.
For the men in the north, whether they can shoulder the family's livelihood is the foundation of their survival.
A busy day at the village chief's mansion ended. Before being taken to bed by Chen Ma, Man Yue quietly took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it to Cui Qingyi.
Amuzhen is a magical person. After running with him for half a day, Man Yue completely forgot the fear of getting lost during the day. In Cui Qingyi's eyes, she even felt that she became a little more lively.
Even his own dog, who was very xenophobic, was not at all on guard against this man.
Cui Qingyi took it with a puzzled look on her face: "What is this?"
Man Yue covered her sleeves and avoided looking: "Amu gave it to me"
Cui Qingyi stared at Man Yue's sleeve for a long time, but finally chose not to explore. She thought she probably didn't want to see what was inside the sleeve.
While helping Cui Qingyi with her hair, Taozhi asked curiously, "Village Master, what did that man named Amu give?"
"Submit the offer list..."
Cui Qingyi's face was filled with gloom. "It's a list of betrothal gifts that the woman needs to prepare for the marriage of a man from the North."
Hearing this, Taozhi hesitated for a while before saying, "Village Master, this is the first time I've seen someone so enthusiastic about marrying into a family. It's a bit strange."
Not to mention Taozhi, even Cui Qingyi had never seen anyone so eager to become a son-in-law in her two lifetimes. She also wanted to ask, what was Jing Wei trying to do?
At this moment, in the Weiyuan General’s Mansion in the capital.
The former General Weiyuan himself was lying on the bed, staring at the butler with a gloomy face, trying hard to appear majestic.
But after his stroke, his mouth and eyes were crooked, and he couldn't help drooling when he spoke, which greatly reduced his sense of majesty. "Go... find, go... bring that... rebellious son back to me. Husband, where is my wife? Go find her."
Seeing that the master had drooled a lot after speaking a few words, the servant in charge of serving hurried forward with a handkerchief.
The housekeeper looked embarrassed, "Master, the young marquis said a few days ago that he was going to Beijing for business, but he is not in Beijing now, please wait a little longer.
As for Madam, you forgot that the young marquis said that you are not allowed to step out of the courtyard without his warrant."
Now the house is full of the young marquis's people, and the whole mansion is like an iron barrel. He, the steward, is in name only. The lives of his family are in the hands of others, so he can only obey.
Jing Chao felt that something was wrong after hearing what the housekeeper said, but he was now paralyzed in bed and needed someone to serve him when eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. Even if he had some suspicions, there was nothing he could do. The only way was to hope that Liao would be smart enough to notice something was wrong and come looking for him, or at worst someone from the clan could come looking for him.
But Liao, whom he was thinking about, was only one step away from going crazy. As for the Jing family, strange things were happening frequently and the place was in chaos. Who would care about Jing Chao?
A few days later, news came from the Weiyuan General's Mansion that his wife, Mrs. Liao, died of depression due to illness caused by missing her deceased son.
The General's Mansion handled Liao's funeral meticulously, and even the Liao family members who came specifically to find fault could not find any fault.
The only thing that can be said is that Jing Wei, the young marquis of the Jing family, did not show up. But everyone in the capital doesn't know that Jing Wei has a deep hatred for the Liao family. Not to mention not showing up at Liao's funeral, even if he doesn't allow Liao to hold the funeral at the Jing family, he has a legitimate reason.
Now that the General's Mansion has handled Liao's funeral properly, people in the capital have become more favorable towards the young Marquis Jing Wei.
Jing Chao didn't know that Liao was gone until he heard the sound of suona in the mansion. When he heard the housekeeper say that the lady died of depression due to missing the young master, Jing Chao just thought it was absurd.
He knew very well what kind of personality his partner had. Lei'er had been sick since he was born. Liao might have felt love and guilt towards the child at first, but as time went on, the idea of having a healthy son who could compete for the family fortune outweighed everything else.
After Lei'er passed away, Liao immediately began planning to adopt someone from the Liao family. How could she die of depression due to missing her son?
After throwing everything he could reach, Jing Chao threatened Jing Wei to come and see him by refusing to eat or take medicine.
After all, this was the master he had followed and served for his entire life. Seeing him like this, the butler couldn't bear it and could only persuade him when no one was around, "Master, don't you understand yet? The eldest son came back on his own initiative for revenge. Although he won't kill you on his own initiative, he won't stop you if you take the initiative to commit suicide.
Listen to this old servant's advice. A good death is worse than a miserable life. Stop making trouble with the young marquis. After all, you are his biological father. As long as you don't want to die, he won't dare to kill you."
Jing Chao gasped, "You bastard, you dare!"
He grabbed the butler's sleeve and was about to say something when the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open. A bearded man strode in and looked at the butler with murderous eyes. The butler trembled all over before he looked away.
"Old man, the young marquis has returned with a message. Please take good care of yourself. He will have good news to share with you soon."
Without waiting for Jing Chao to answer, he looked at the housekeeper again and said, "Since the master doesn't like these dishes, then change some."
The housekeeper broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly picked up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground and left.
These people brought back by his eldest son were all very vicious. Now they have the entire house under their control. He is really scared.
Dongping County
When the construction of the underground pipes in the village chief's mansion began, Cui Qingyi temporarily moved back to Huaihua Lane with Taozhi and others.
There is also time to put the reopening of Hongyan Teahouse on the agenda. Before, the Yuan and Mei families had a big fight, so in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the teahouse was temporarily closed. Later, it encountered the village chief's enthronement ceremony and housewarming ceremony, and was very busy, so the reopening of the teahouse had to be put on hold again and again.
But correspondingly, the employees who had worked hard for half a year, the Jiang family, Mao Lin and others all had a good New Year.
Cui Qingyi has received several messages in the past few days, all asking her when the teahouse will reopen. The fans who have accumulated over the past six months can't wait any longer.
Hongyan Teahouse reopened, and Cui Qingyi made a special trip to send a message to Jing Wei.
Cui Qingyi herself was not a person who was indecisive, not to mention that it was difficult to find a husband. Jing Wei was from a wealthy family and probably was not after her money. As for fame and fortune, she was a country lady living in Dongping County, far away from the fame and fortune of the Jin Dynasty, so it didn't make sense for her to seek fame.
Jing Wei received the note from Cui Qingyi, and his mood, which had been gloomy for a long time, suddenly became cheerful. He read the note over and over again, and even asked Amu, "You said this note was written by the village chief himself."
How could Amu know? He had never seen the village chief's calligraphy.
But at this moment, Amu would not pour cold water on his master. He nodded firmly and said, "Of course, I see that the village master treats you very differently."
