As soon as Wei Fu said this, the air suddenly became quiet.
She scratched her head in embarrassment. Did she say something wrong?
The old lady's eldest daughter-in-law tried to smile and said, "The princess is right, mother, you can just pick a good one for the third child." But if you want to pick a good one, it's better to pick one who can't give birth.
At the beginning, they also hoped that the prefect Chucheng could have a good wife and have sons and daughters, but as time went on, they gradually did not want the prefect Chucheng to have his own children.
Because he has no children of his own, he devotes himself to his nephews and nieces and plans for them wholeheartedly.
They had even discussed that if he still didn't have a child in a few years, they would adopt one from his nephews.
The prefect of Chucheng is still young and has a smooth career path, so it is not impossible for him to make further progress. He is already a fourth-rank official, and if he can make another step forward, he will become a third-rank official. If their son can be adopted, their future life will not be difficult at all.
Of course, these guards don’t know this.
But even though she didn't know, she still felt the strangeness of the atmosphere. She looked to Tingyu for help: "Sister Tingyu, please come and help the old lady up. I have other things to do."
After hearing Wei Fu's words, Madam Miao didn't wait for Tingyu to help her. She asked her two daughters-in-law to help her up, and then said politely, "Then I won't bother the princess anymore."
"I heard that the princess likes to eat pork elbows very much. Big sister, please tell the kitchen to make some more for the princess."
Mrs. Miao walked towards the kitchen with a smile on her face.
From now on, she will have the final say in the third brother's mansion.
Madam Miao Er immediately said, "I'll go take a look too."
Upon hearing this, Madam Miao said, "I'll go alone. Second sister-in-law, you should stay here and take care of mother. You rarely come to pay your respects to mother. Today is a rare opportunity for you to see her. It's a good opportunity to spend more time with her and show your filial piety."
Wei Fu always felt that there was a flash of swords and sabers when they talked, so he pulled Tingyu and ran away.
The prince and Long Yin also followed behind her. The prince had seen this kind of scene many times, and he saw through the trick at a glance. He couldn't help but feel some sympathy for the prefect of Chucheng.
He married a woman with bad intentions, and his mother didn't care about him wholeheartedly. Before he even died, his brother and sister-in-law started to covet his things.
After Wei Fu walked away, he stroked his chest and sighed: "Ugly...Mr. Miao's family is too scary!"
Long Yin sneered, "That's not some family member. That's a leech lying on the Chucheng prefect, ready to suck his blood at any time."
Wei Fu asked the prince: "Brother, can we send him to another place to be an official?"
The prince said, "I will evaluate his performance later and see if I can transfer him to another place."
To be honest, the disasters that the prefect of Chucheng had suffered were truly unprovoked.
"Then can I not have dinner with them tonight? Fu'er doesn't like them and will be unhappy if she eats with them."
The prince smiled and said, "Of course you can. Fu'er is the princess. No one can force Fu'er to eat with him."
When Wei Fu heard this, he instantly became happy.
The Miao family, who had gone out of their way to curry favor with the Crown Prince and Wei Fu, saw that Wei Fu and the Crown Prince were not at the dinner table. Old Madam Miao, acting like a mother, asked the Chucheng prefect, "Third son, why didn't the Crown Prince and the Princess come to dine with us? Did you offend the Princess in some way, or did your wife's affairs cause you to dislike them?"
After she finished speaking, without waiting for the prefect of Chucheng to say anything, she continued, "I told you all that year that your wife was not worth having, but you refused to believe me. Now look what you have done. You are a troublemaker."
Boss Miao also sighed like a good brother, "Yes, Third Brother, you should listen to us more. The Crown Prince's throne is secure. Now that you have displeased the Crown Prince, what are you going to do in the future?"
"Listen to me, don't eat this meal, go and apologize to the prince."
The prefect of Chucheng is not a completely brainless person. He knows clearly what his family is like. When his mother asked him to marry his cousin, he was unwilling because he knew that his cousin had some unclear relationship with his eldest brother, so he insisted on finding one for himself.
He was a kind man and was unwilling to expose the two people's innocence.
After he got married, his elder brother took his cousin as a concubine.
If he marries his cousin, he will become a green-headed parrot, because he knows clearly what his family members are like, so he will trust his wife more.
I just want my family to live a good life.
Therefore, when there is a dispute between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, he tends to stand on the side of his daughter-in-law.
What he didn't expect was that his family members were unreliable, and the one he found was also unreliable.
He slammed the table and said, "If you want to go, go by yourself!"
"I will not go back to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I have offended him, so what? Anyway, I have nothing now, so it doesn't matter whether I hold this position or not. If I can't judge people well, I may not be able to be a good official."
He had suffered too many shocks in the past few days and was feeling very sad. These people still said such sarcastic words, and even the best-tempered person would lose control of himself.
Seeing his brother getting angry, Miao Lao Da was stunned for a moment, then he asked even louder: "What's your attitude?"
"Why, your brother and mother can't say anything to you?"
"Princess, Princess, there's a quarrel, there's a quarrel over there." When Wei Fu and the others were having dinner, Tingyu suddenly ran in and said.
Wei Fu blinked his eyes, and after asking, he took Long Yin in one hand and the prince in the other and walked towards the prefect of Chucheng and the others.
When Wei Fu came over, he saw the scene of the prefect of Chucheng being besieged by his entire family.
Wei Fu patted the prince's arm and said, "Big brother, it's time for you to win people's hearts."
The prince was amused: "Fu'er also knows how to win people's hearts?"
Wei Fu said proudly, "Of course, Fu'er learned this from Da Xihong."
The Crown Prince: "..." What did the Great Yue State Master teach Fu'er?
However, this is indeed the time to win people's hearts.
He coughed lightly and walked over: "Master Miao, what are you arguing about?"
The prefect of Chu City saw the Crown Prince and Wei Fu and them, and looked embarrassed: "I am sorry for disturbing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Princess. Please punish me, Your Highnesses."
The Crown Prince's expression was not very pleasant. Boss Miao and the others thought they had really disturbed the Crown Prince and Wei Fu. Boss Miao quickly said, "Your Highness, please forgive us. We did not mean to disturb you. It was the Third Brother who was having dinner with us when he suddenly went crazy and started arguing with us."
