In fact, things weren't going very smoothly for Wu Deyi today.
Neither Xu Wenqu nor Tang Shirong were shrewd people, but they had the uprightness of scholars.
It's the kind of thing that, if it's mine, it's mine, and I'll accept it even if it's troublesome or even hardship; but if it's not mine, it's not mine, and I'll never covet it even if it's mountains of gold and silver.
The time when Wang Shiqin left the Wu Mansion and the time when she gave birth were different from what he said in the letter. She was not pregnant before leaving the Wu Mansion, but after she got married.
Therefore, Tang Shirong may be his child, but he may also be Tang Yongli's child.
Many people nowadays know that the methods of identifying relatives by dropping blood or dropping bones are inaccurate. The real method of identifying relatives is only passed down secretly in the palace, so they have no way to prove it.
But there is a key point here. If Tang Shirong is really Wu Deyi's son, then he becomes a son born out of wedlock. So Xu Wenqu needs to be extremely cautious in his considerations on this point.
Wu Deyi had talked a lot, but the two men refused to give in, and each one was more serious than the other.
Wu Deyi was so angry that he started to curse as soon as he got on the carriage: "Pedantic! Too pedantic! So stupid!"
In his opinion, the Wu family was rich and powerful, and who wouldn't want to climb up to them? And Tang Yongli was just a villager, and now he was dead, so what if he was really his son?
...
...
He has already taken the initiative to offer the opportunity, and the hint is almost explicit. Any smart person should know what to choose.
Does the truth really matter?
But the two of them simply refused to cooperate.
He originally thought that getting Tang Shirong to acknowledge him as his father was the easiest part of the matter, and the difficult part was how to take control of Tang Shiyue's assets. But he didn't expect that the easiest part would get stuck.
In this way, Wang Shiqin became an important witness. Only if she came forward to prove that Tang Shirong was his son would Tang Shirong be likely to recognize him.
Wu Deyi was angry for a long time before he gradually calmed down and turned to ask Cui, "How was your day? I heard a commotion outside."
Cui said helplessly, "Before, Master said that Tang Shiyue was amazing, and I thought it was an exaggeration. Now I believe it. Tang Shiyue is very smart at such a young age, and he is very careful with his words. He is not easy to deal with."
Wu Deyi was not surprised and snorted coldly, "What about Wang Shiqin?"
Cui quickly looked him over and said calmly, "Wang Shiqin, I think her mind is a little unclear right now. She won't listen to anything I say and just keeps crying and begging to follow me. I have no choice but to ask someone to send her back to the Tang family."
Wu Deyi was immediately annoyed and said angrily: "A good young lady, after following Tang Yongli for a few years, has become so confused!"
There was a hint of sarcasm in Cui's eyes, but she immediately concealed it.
Wu Deyi frowned and said, "But there is no other way now. We still have to persuade her and make her insist that Tang Shirong is my son. Otherwise, this matter will be difficult to resolve."
Cui's heart skipped a beat.
She had already arranged the people to find a way to kill Wang Shiqin suddenly.
So Cui said, "Master, I have an idea. I don't know if it's appropriate. Let me tell you."
She looked at his face and said, "I think that brother and sister really have no feelings for Wang Shiqin, and Wang Shiqin is crazy. Even if we make an agreement with her, we don't know when she will go back on her word. It's really worrying."
"So I thought, firstly, the siblings might not believe what she said, and secondly, if she knew, we still need him, I'm afraid she would bring it up again, and we wouldn't be able to get away from it. She's still pregnant, and if she makes a scene, it would be really embarrassing."
Wu Deyi had certainly thought about these things, and he said, "Then what do you think we should do? Xu Wenqu is adamant, but he has the title of a master and can make the decision for Tang Shirong. If he doesn't agree, Tang Shirong won't agree!"
Cui smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master. Although a teacher is a father for life, a father is never as good as a grandfather."
Wu Deyi asked: "What do you mean?"
Cui said, "Wu Bian has already inquired about this. The old man in his family, Tang Yongli's father, has been in Nanping Mountain for many years, helping people to tidy up the cemetery. Isn't the Nanping Mountain cemetery the Liu family's Muyuan? I think we should inform the Liu family and ask him to come back and make some trouble."
She smiled and said, "I heard that the division of the family was all decided by that girl Tang Shiyue and the old woman in the family. If the real head of the family comes back, it is natural for him to regret it. At that time, no matter whether it is the master or the clan leader, it will be unjustified to intervene."
Wu Deyi understood what she meant immediately: "You mean, give her some trouble?"
Cui smiled and said, "It's not a small trouble, it's a big trouble. Tang Shiyue just relied on a little luck to earn a little fortune, but no matter how rich she is, she is just a little village girl with no roots. In front of a real noble, she is nothing. Even if County Magistrate Lin supports her, there will be times when she can't hold on."
yes!
The more Wu Deyi thought about it, the happier he became. He couldn't help but clap his hands lightly: "Good idea! Let him make a fuss. No, let's just make a big fuss! Let old man Tang sue Tang Shirong! Sue him for being disobedient and unfilial! Old man Tang is standing for the great principles and justice, so whatever he says is right! Let the Liu family come forward to put pressure on him..."
He laughed, "When the time comes, if Tang Shiyue doesn't want Tang Shirong to be labeled as unfilial, she can only beg us to ask Tang Shirong to recognize our Wu family! After that, I will help her settle the lawsuit and ask her to accept the favor, and then the two families can be tied together naturally!"
"That's right!" Cui said meaningfully, "This person must experience some setbacks before she can learn to be respectful. Otherwise, does she really think that doing business is so easy? Master, you should teach her a lesson!"
"That's right!" Wu Deyi laughed. "You are really my good wife. I will write a letter to Brother Liu Shi when I get back!"
As soon as he returned home, Wu Deyi went there excitedly.
Cui then asked the nanny, "How are things arranged?"
"Don't worry, Madam," the nanny whispered, "Let that little bitch go to heaven tonight!"
Cui warned anxiously: "Don't make any mistakes!"
"Don't worry, ma'am!"
Having said that, Cui was still worried.
At night, I still tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
It was past midnight when the nanny hurried out and came back quietly. She lifted the curtain and looked inside. Cui asked anxiously, "What's going on?"
Mammy whispered, "Don't worry, Madam, it's done."
Cui was overjoyed, and then she lay back down, relaxing her whole body.
Very good!
Once Wang dies, there will be no evidence. When Old Man Tang comes back and makes trouble again, Tang Shiyue can only rely on their family to turn things around! It's foolproof!
She suddenly remembered that she had a good-looking nephew. She could ask him to flirt with Tang Shiyue. Then, maybe the Cui family could also get a piece of the pie from the Fushou Winery, which was making a lot of money!
