Chapter 266 Host, Wei Shangshu's melon is neither sweet nor bitter, but rather tortuous

Qin Yue: [Hehe! Sister, what kind of melon is Wei Shangshu? Is it sweet or bitter? ]

Emperor Jin Yuan and all the courtiers looked at Wei Shangshu.

Wei Shangshu suddenly felt his scalp tingling.

He was still happy before he was eaten by the melon. After all, eating other people's melons and watching other people's jokes is a wonderful experience. However

, when the melon was eaten by himself, he found that the taste was self-experienced...

Wei Shangshu now only hopes... that his melon is a sweet melon...

However, Wei Shangshu's dream is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

The next moment, he heard the system's evaluation of this melon.

[Host, Wei Shangshu's melon is neither sweet nor bitter, but rather tortuous. 】

Upon hearing this, Minister Wei was disappointed: "Oh, oh... my heart aches. Why isn't it a sweet story, like my granddaughter meets the right person or something...

It's neither sweet nor bitter, it's the most uncomfortable thing to be stuck in the middle!

It's impossible to guess what kind of story it is!

The other officials were happy to watch the excitement.

Hehe, this old guy is very old-fashioned on weekdays. Except for being particularly tolerant of Princess Ningping, he is really merciless to his colleagues.

Oh, Princess Ningping is the granddaughter of that old guy.

Even when entering the throne room, the old-fashioned man would nag at them about whether to step with the right foot first or the left foot first, under the pretext that etiquette cannot be abandoned...

God damn etiquette cannot be abandoned, many of them have seen it, Princess Ningping ran towards him and hugged him in public...

How come he didn't nag about such a lively behavior!

Thinking of the wrinkled old face, squeezing out a brilliant smile like a chrysanthemum, and looking at Princess Ningping with a doting look, all the court officials felt goosebumps all over their bodies.

Hiss... This old guy is definitely a granddaughter control! Any etiquette is nothing to his granddaughter!

Only targets good guys like them!

Humph!

They want to see what secrets this old guy has in private!

Hehehe! If he wants to nag them again in the future, they will have weapons to fight back against him!

Qin Yue urged: [Sister, tell me what kind of melon this Wei Shangshu is? It's not sweet or bitter, so strange. ]

Everyone unconsciously lowered their voices, stretched their ears and took their positions.

Wei Shangshu gritted his teeth, took out the Yangxin Pills from his body, and quickly ate one... two pills!

Eat one more pill, what if it's a big melon, he's afraid that his little heart can't bear it.

The system sorted out its thoughts and said: [Wei Shangshu's melon is actually related to his daughter. ]

When Wei Shangshu heard this, his little heart really "banged" uncontrollably.

Didn't his daughter die many years ago? How could there still be gossip?

Minister Wei suddenly thought of something. Could it be that... his daughter is still alive like Princess Mingle?

Impossible! Impossible!

Minister Wei shook his head. He saw the bodies of his daughter and son-in-law with his own eyes, so it definitely couldn't be this!

What on earth could it be!

[Host, Minister Wei's daughter is not actually his biological daughter, but an abandoned baby that he and his wife found.]

Everyone was shocked when they heard this!

What?

Minister Wei's daughter who passed away many years ago was not his biological daughter?

Then why was he so good to Princess Ningping?

Everyone thought about it. Although she was an adopted daughter, she was Minister Wei's only daughter, and she was also very good to Minister Wei and his wife.

It was completely hard to tell that the child was not Shangshu Wei's biological daughter.

It was a pity that the child died at such a young age. She already had a happy family, but she and her husband died in an accident not long after her daughter was born.

Alas... her husband was King Mu... such a kind and gentle man...

Emperor Jin Yuan didn't react much when he heard about Shangshu Wei's gossip.

But when he heard that it was related to his younger brother and sister who died young, Emperor Jin Yuan immediately sat up straight, moved his buttocks, and listened to the gossip seriously.

He was also hinting and speculating in his heart: I don't know if my sister will mention that incident later. They all thought it was an accident, but... what if it wasn't...

Shangshu Wei didn't react much when he heard what the system said.

After all, as the person involved, he naturally knew that the daughter they had raised for twenty years was actually picked up by them accidentally on a snowy day.

His wife herself had difficulty getting pregnant, and they met a woman who was unconscious on the way to Pu'an Temple.

The woman was holding a baby in her arms, her cheeks were frozen red, and she had a high fever.

He and his wife were kind-hearted people, and they didn't bother to go to the temple to pray. They immediately ordered people to lift the woman and the child onto the carriage and headed for the capital.

Fortunately, they reacted in time and the child was saved.

However, the woman was silent.

From the tattered and thin clothes on the woman, they judged that the woman must have encountered something bad. She didn't even have time to put on more clothes, and hurried with the child in the heavy snow.

The child was dressed warmly, with delicate clothes inside, and layers of adult clothes outside. I think the woman must have taken off her outer clothes and put them on the child.

It was this action of the woman that allowed the child to survive.

However, she herself could not hold on. Alas...

His wife thought that they saved the child on the way to Pu'an Temple to ask the Bodhisattva for a child, and they must have a connection with the child. Maybe the Bodhisattva saw that they were pitiful and gave them the child on purpose.

So, they adopted the child.

Apart from the people in the mansion, almost no one outsiders knew about this.

Because his wife was not a person who liked to attend banquets, she rarely appeared in front of outsiders.

Even if they suddenly said that they were going to hold a full-month banquet for the child, no one would have thought that the child was not actually their biological child.

They did not deliberately clarify it.

Anyway, they had already decided to adopt the child, so why not let the child have a formal identity?

And now he and his wife both felt that the decision to adopt was right. Not only did they get a sweet little girl, but she was also their only child.

It's just a pity that such a good child passed away at the best age.

Although their granddaughter Xin'er was not raised by them over the years, their love for her has not diminished at all, and sometimes they even felt that they gave her too little.

After all, when you grow up without your parents, you will always be missing something.

Fortunately, Xin'er has been raised by Princess Jinyang all these years, and her personality is just like her mother, lively and lovely.

Minister Wei thought about the cute appearance of his granddaughter, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly unconsciously, as if he had forgotten that he was being talked about.

Qin Yue: [Sister, there is nothing wrong with this adopted child. Even if it is an adopted child, as long as you treat him sincerely, you will still be happy. What kind of melon is this? ]

[Is there something else in it? ] Based on Qin Yue's previous experience of eating melons, sister would never say that a child adopted is such a simple melon for no reason!
