Chapter 188: Innocent Thoughts
This move made Princess Fu quite happy.
But Shang Qilang next to him didn't think so. In his opinion, it is better to resolve a feud than to create one.
The East Garden and the West Garden have already become a laughing stock in Sui'an City. If they continue to add fuel to the fire, who knows what will happen in the future.
So he sighed and said.
"Mother, you should talk to Grandfather. There's no need to make things so awkward."
Mrs. Wei looked at her son as if he were a fool at this moment and did not understand his behavior at all.
"You... you are too easy to bully. Have you forgotten how he blocked the door and refused to let you in a few days ago, and how they talked about me and your father? Even your eldest sister was bullied by the old woman from the Gu family when she entered the general's mansion. Do you want us to forget all this?"
Mrs. Wei's voice became higher and higher, and the expression on her face was particularly angry.
Princess Fu also added angrily.
"Seventh brother, have you become stupid from studying? What do you mean by we don't need to make things so awkward? It sounds like we want to tear the window paper apart."
Although Shang Silang didn't say anything, his opinion was consistent with that of his mother and elder sister.
The three of them looked at Shang Qilang with some anger, but Shang Qilang remained unmoved.
He asked in a calm voice.
"You don't have to send the invitation to the General's Mansion, but how many people do you think will go to the Wei family for this feast? Don't forget, everyone is following not the Sixth Brother, but the Crown Prince behind the Sixth Brother. Tell me, what qualifications does the Wei family have to challenge the Crown Prince?"
His words were like a heavy punch to the three of them.
All of a sudden, even those with sharp tongues could not speak clearly, and even those with fierce tempers became silent.
Shang Qillang had already understood the situation at the general's mansion.
To put it nicely, it's a housewarming party, but if you look deeper, isn't it just a banquet for the General's Mansion, the Gu family, and the Prince to declare their relationship?
Although he didn't go in, he looked at the carriages of the dignitaries circling three circles inside and three circles outside. Couldn't he have noticed it?
These people certainly gave face to the General's Mansion, but behind the scenes they had to give more face to the Crown Prince.
It is true that the Wei family is the Grand Marshal, but over the years, their operations in the court cannot compare with the founding families like Prime Minister Guo, who have existed since the founding of the dynasty, nor can they compare with the long-standing and prestigious families like the Gu family, which were once prosperous and prosperous.
Therefore, their position is the most embarrassing.
Over the years, Wei Taiwei has repeatedly made overtures to the prince's party, but has always received no response.
Now he wants to openly make enemies with the General's Mansion. Isn't this completely destroying his own life? "According to what you said, if we don't send a letter to the General's Mansion, will no one go to my grandfather's house?"
Shang Silang's stupid remarks left Qilang speechless.
However, Princess Fu and Madam Wei could see the situation more clearly than him. After being reminded by Shang Qilang, they finally understood what was going on.
Mrs. Wei was very dissatisfied.
"In the past, in the Duke's Mansion, Gu Yunhe always dominated us. Now, she has been dead for many years, but the Gu family and her son still dominate us! I've had enough of this kind of life."
After saying this, he slapped the armrest of the armchair next to him, not even realizing that his hand had turned red, and he was still immersed in anger.
Upon seeing this, Princess Fu spoke to comfort her.
"Don't be sad, mother. If a mountain comes, we will just move it away. It's not like we haven't done it before. Now we just need more means."
"Isn't that old woman just relying on her age and prestige? At her age, she won't live for many more days. I'm waiting to see if she passes away. Will the Gu family still be as peaceful as it is now? After all, every family has a few annoying relatives."
After saying this, Princess Fu smiled, with a calculating and proud look on her face, which made Madam Wei suddenly have other hopes.
Yes, how could she have forgotten.
The Gu family is a prestigious family with complicated connections, and now it is supported by an old lady who is as powerful as a pillar of support, so it can enjoy peace at this time.
If Madam Gu were gone, the Gu family would be the fat meat that everyone would want to take a bite of.
What can be achieved with just a few widows and the insignificant only daughter of the Gu family?
When I thought of this, it seemed as if all the grievances I had suffered over the past few days had been vented.
He said with a faint smile.
"You are so wise, ma'am. How could I have forgotten this? The old woman is already over 70 years old. How many days can she live? Who knows? This year might be her last."
The viciousness in the words made Shang Qilang very uncomfortable.
After all, she is the widow of Marshal Gu and a highly respected person.
But he couldn't bear it and couldn't listen to it anymore as his mother and elder sister were plotting against him.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
So he stood up and said.
"I still have a lot of books to review, so I won't stay here any longer. Mother, please talk to your elder sister and fourth brother. I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, he turned and left without any hesitation.
Seeing her most valued son's attitude, Mrs. Wei felt very disappointed.
"I don't know what kind of magic potion Dongyuan has given him. He still can't see the truth even at this point. We and the people of Dongyuan have long been at a point where it's either you or me. But he still naively thinks that these things can be turned around."
Princess Fu watched Shang Qilang leave, and her thoughts were similar to those of her mother, Madam Wei.
She doesn't like such a brother.
But he is indeed talented and has a promising future. Thinking that his son may not become a successful person in the future, it is necessary to keep a useful uncle.
Only then did he give in and spoke to ease the atmosphere.
"Seventh brother is still young, and has not yet entered the court. He stays in the academy every day, surrounded by saints and doctrines. Naturally, he does not understand the shady things in the harem and the court. Wait until he falls a few times and suffers a few losses, and then he will understand that this world is not a good place for good people to live."
Mrs. Wei deeply agreed with this statement.
Shang Silang has always been a follower of his mother and elder sister, so whatever they say is what it is.
Everyone in the room was thinking about how to harm the Gu family, but the Gu family members they were talking about at this moment had already slowly arrived at Wuling.
The connected farms at the foot of the mountain all belong to the Du family.
This time, the Du couple, the two elders of the He family, and brother-in-law He Shilin were all waiting at the door, awaiting everyone.
Seeing the carriage slowly approaching, everyone smiled and hurried to greet it.
This made Old Madam Gu feel the enthusiasm of the Du family even through the curtain.
The curve of his mouth never dropped, and he started talking as soon as he saw the Du couple.
"Thank you for being so polite, my dear parents-in-law. I feel really bad for letting you wait here in such a cold weather."
