Chapter 77 "Not with me, but with Xiaojin."
Everyone looked at her, unable to guess what her expression meant. Ling Shaomin said, "It's mainly because of this. She relied on her beauty to attract men and ruin the reputation of the Wei family."
"So what do you think I should do with her?" asked Mrs. Wei.
Ling Shaomin made up her mind, "A person like this is certainly not worthy of being the third daughter of the Wei family. I think it would be better for Madam Wei to kick her out as soon as possible."
Wei Liangchen sat with his legs apart in a ruffian-like posture, but his face was gloomy, as if a storm was about to come.
Just about to speak.
Mrs. Wei smiled again and said, "Thank you for your suggestion."
Something seemed off about the atmosphere.
Madam Ling was the first to notice and tugged at the angry Ling Shaomin, "Madam Wei, my daughter——"
Mrs. Wei raised her hand to interrupt, "Mrs. Ling."
Although she was smiling, her tone gave people a chill for no reason, "Your Highness's Fourth Young Lady is saying that I failed to discipline my child?"
Jin Ye was stunned.
Ling Xuewei suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Mrs. Wei said, "Everyone knows that Xu Jinye's aunt is the third concubine of the governor. She has lived in our house since she was a child, and we treat her as a family member. I teach her no differently than other girls. What you mean by that is that I didn't teach her well. How can I hold my head up in front of the governor and the ancestors of the Wei family in the future?"
Everyone was shocked.
What Mrs. Wei meant was that to slap Xu Jinye in the face would be to slap her and the Wei family in the face.
It's not surprising. Mrs. Wei has always been protective of her shortcomings in front of outsiders. I just didn't expect that she would be so disrespectful to Mrs. Ling.
Wei Liangchen curled the corners of his mouth.
He seems a bit redundant here.
Ling Shaomin was a little flustered. "No, she is her, Madam is Madam, and the Wei family is the Wei family. How can they be mixed up? That's not what I meant."
"What does the Fourth Young Miss mean?" Madam Wei looked at Madam Ling and said with a smile, "We adults should just listen to the words of children, but I heard that the Ling family has a century-old tradition of poetry, literature and etiquette. In the future, you should not say such words from the Fourth Young Miss, lest it insults the elegance of the Ling family."
Everyone in Suzhou said that the two families of Wei and Ling, one civil and one military, were good at fighting. This time, the newspapers made a big fuss about the assassination, and some gossip newspapers even said that the two families were getting married to form a powerful alliance.
Precisely because they are so strong, the two ladies privately refuse to give in to each other, like two tigers on the same hill.
Mrs. Wei's last sentence was to blame the Ling family for saying that Ling Shaomin had brought disgrace upon the Wei family.
Madam Ling's expression changed slightly, but she didn't show any obvious displeasure. She said calmly, "Xiaomin is just a child. Madam Wei, please don't be offended. Shaomin, why don't you apologize to Aunt Wei?"
"I——" Ling Shaomin choked.
"Not with me, but with Xiaojin." Mrs. Wei said slowly and took a sip of tea.
Ling Shaomin glared at Jin Ye, "I won't apologize." She looked at Wei Liangchen with a dark face, "Brother Liangchen, I'm really not spreading rumors, you can go ask--"
"Adjutant Shen." Wei Liangchen's eyes were like ice, his face was terrifyingly sinister, "Throw the fourth young lady out, and don't set foot in my Governor's Mansion again."
Adjutant Shen: Ah?
"What!" Ling Shaomin couldn't believe it. "Brother Liangchen, you can't do this to me."
Throwing anything out there is too much.
"Last time you were in the cheongsam shop, you were clearly on my side. I just moved my sister out and she was not around, so you asked the master to make cheongsams for us first, even if Xu Jinye picked it first. You can't do this to me!"
Ling Xuewei was stunned.
It turned out that Xu Jinye was the first one to take a fancy to those cheongsams.
She was wearing one of those clothes today, and she suddenly felt prickly all over and felt uncomfortable all over.
"It's a different time now." Wei Liangchen's tone became even colder, and he stared at Adjutant Shen with a fixed gaze, "What are you still standing there for? Do you want me to do it myself?"
"Yes! Marshal." Adjutant Shen was startled, "I'm sorry, Fourth Miss."
Jiaqi almost burst out laughing. Why does her brother always like to throw people around?
I heard that Ling Shaomin instigated his classmates to surround Jin Ye last time and escaped danger, so he has to make up for it this time.
Ling Xuewei got anxious and stood in front of Ling Shaomin, looking at Wei Liangchen, "I apologize on behalf of Shaomin. Liangchen, please forgive her for my sake."
It was so embarrassing to be thrown out in public.
Madam Ling couldn't hold back her anger and looked at Wei Liangchen.
Wei Liangchen's dark pupils were grim, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a creepy smile. After a few seconds, he said, "Okay, then I won't throw it away. You go out by yourself and don't show up in front of me again."
Ling Shaomin was shocked again, glared at Xu Jinye fiercely, covered her face, and ran out with a scream.
"Go and look after the Fourth Miss." Madam Ling said to her attendant, and the man went immediately.
Wei Liangchen looked at the middle-aged man's agile movements and his eyes darkened again.
Originally, they came to express their gratitude and discuss the marriage of their two children, but Ling Shaomin's "brilliant idea" interrupted them. What else can they talk about? Madam Ling said, "We will not disturb the young marshal's rest. We will take our leave first."
There was no smile on his face anymore.
If I had known earlier, I should have asked Yuanzhou to come along. Wei Liangchen would not dare to treat them like this.
Mrs. Wei still showed all courtesy and saw them out.
After getting in the car, Mrs. Ling raised her hand and slapped Ling Shaomin. With the loud "pop", Ling Shaomin was stunned.
"You good-for-nothing, I've told you so many times before, I don't care how you behave at home, but outside, you are the legitimate daughter of the Ling family, you have to be sensible in what you say and do, but today, you are worse than a burden."
"Mom..." Ling Shaomin burst into tears, "Sister, you don't help me either."
"I won't help you. You were thrown out. You know that Young Marshal Wei has a bad temper."
"So I still like him?" Ling Shaomin felt very aggrieved. "Are all the men in the world dead?"
Madam Ling shouted angrily, "What do you know? Xuewei cannot lose. Especially to Xu Jinye!"
Ling Shaomin didn't understand.
Seeing the rare fierce look on her mother's face, she was even more confused. "Xu Jinye is a burden. Our family would crush her like an ant. Why don't they just shoot her——"
"Shut up!" Mrs. Ling almost slapped him again, but was stopped by Ling Xuewei.
"Mom, it's all my fault. Don't blame my sister. Let Liangchen stay here and I'll find a solution."
Madam Ling's anger subsided a little. "I expected Wei Liangchen to protect Xu Jinye, but I didn't expect that Madam Wei would also protect her."
Ling Xuewei thought for a moment, "Maybe it's not to protect her, but for the sake of face. You know, Aunt Wei likes to save face. I don't know how she will scold Xu Jinye later."
So, "In addition to looking for Liangchen, you must also interact more with Madam Wei and start with her. I don't care whether you still love Wei Liangchen, but you must get the position of Young Madam."
Here, the Governor's Mansion.
After sending the Ling family away, Mrs. Wei looked at Jin Ye and said, "You heard what I said just now. What is against human ethics? How do you tell me to make it right?"
So, it’s a good thing that Jin Ye left.
Zhou Siwei was about to come back, and the problem was how to hide it from his overly enthusiastic son.
