Chapter 114 Kneeling in public, pouring tea and admitting mistakes
The atmosphere was so tense that Wei Lingze was in a dilemma. He was just about to have another discussion with Shen Qingyuan when a maid came to report, "Master Wei, Madam Wei's family wants you to go to the garden. She has something to tell you."
He'er's family?
I didn’t hear that my mother-in-law would come today. Could it be Xiao Qingyue?
But Yue'er always calls him brother-in-law, so how could she consider herself as He'er's family member?
Wei Lingze felt something was not right, but the message from the little maid solved his current dilemma. He looked at Shen Qingyuan meaningfully and followed the little maid.
As soon as Wei Lingze left, the atmosphere immediately relaxed. Everyone wanted to say something, but they saw Shen Qingyuan also walking towards the garden.
Lord Zhang quickly stopped Shen Qingyuan and said, "Lord Shen, please forgive me when you can. After all, it's the Grand Tutor's Mansion that's hosting the banquet today. You should at least give the host some face."
After beating up someone's grandson, he then chased after the guests to beat them up. How can this be justified?
Knowing that Master Zhang meant well, Shen Qingyuan explained calmly, "I'm not doing anything. I'm just a little worried that my wife might not be able to adapt, so I wanted to go see her."
How could it be such a coincidence that someone goes to see his wife and you go too?
"Mrs. Shen has just received praise from the Empress, so nothing will happen. Sir Shen, please talk to me about the wedding arrangements."
Lord Zhang was determined not to let Shen Qingyuan go, and forcibly pulled Shen Qingyuan to sit in the corner.
Soon, Wei Lingze came to the garden.
Seeing Chunxi sitting with them, Wei Lingze's eyes flashed with surprise.
Under the envious gazes of the ladies and young ladies, Wei Lingze strode towards the three people.
As soon as he saw him, Xiao Qinghe's face turned cold, but Xiao Qingyue greeted him as before: "Brother-in-law."
Wei Lingze nodded and looked at Xiao Qingyue curiously: "Is there something that Yue'er asked me to come over for?"
"It wasn't me. It was my aunt who asked someone to call my brother-in-law over."
Xiao Qingyue denied it immediately.
When he saw Chunxi, Wei Lingze vaguely guessed that this matter might be related to her, and he immediately looked sideways at Chunxi.
Chunxi didn't suffer much during this trip to Xuzhou. She didn't get tanned, but instead gained some weight and a rounder face. She looked more gentle and graceful like a wife.
Her temperament is very different from when she was a maid in the Wei family.
Now, looking closely, her agility and vitality are even more striking.
Ever since that day when he and Xiao Qinghe had an unpleasant argument in the study, Xiao Qinghe never let Wei Lingze get close to her again, and she was always lifeless in front of him. Even though she had a beautiful face, Wei Lingze always felt unlucky when he thought of her.
Seeing Chunxi's lively appearance at this moment, Wei Lingze couldn't help but feel a little itchy.
Such spring joy should have been his.
Chunxi had served Wei Lingze personally for three years and was quite familiar with his subtle expressions. He looked at her with a nauseous look, so she drank a sip of tea to suppress the nausea. Then she spoke slowly, "After I got home, my mother-in-law told me that my nephew-in-law had come to my house and told everyone in the Shen family that your uncle had asked him to take good care of me. Now that we've run into each other today, I want to ask him in person why he said that."
Chunxi's voice was loud and full of energy. When everyone heard his words, they all stopped talking and looked over here.
Wei Lingze's face darkened.
That day he had no idea that Chunxi had gone to Xuzhou with Shen Qingyuan, and he lost face in front of everyone in the Shen family. Shen Qingyue had clearly promised to keep everyone in the Shen family silent, but he didn't expect Chunxi to know about this as soon as she came back, and took advantage of the opportunity today to deliberately make trouble.
"Aunt, what happened that day was a misunderstanding. I have already made it clear to the Shen family."
"Have you explained it clearly? What did you tell them? As soon as I came back, my mother-in-law pointed at my nose and scolded me for being unfaithful and a shameless little whore. How can I live in the future if you ruin my reputation like this?"
Chunxi's voice became louder and louder, full of grief, anger and grievance. Wei Lingze's heart palpitations just now turned into a heart attack.
He immediately stopped Chunxi: "What do you want?"
Chunxi is shameless, but he wants it.
He couldn't let others know that he was still obsessed with Chunxi, who was already a married woman, and even had some secret dirty thoughts about her.
Wei Lingze wanted to settle the matter peacefully, but Chunxi immediately said, "It's not that bad. Just kneel down and pour me some tea and admit your mistake, and then this matter will be over."
"Don't even think about it!"
Wei Lingze rejected it immediately.
A man's knees are made of gold, how can he kneel down easily?
What's more, Chunxi is of low status. She used to take care of his excrement and urine in the Wei family. How could he kneel down to Chunxi in public?
As soon as Wei Lingze finished speaking, Chunxi stood up, stepped onto the chair in the pavilion, hugged the pillar and started crying.
"I have no face to live anymore. I was born in a humble family and was looked down upon by my husband's family. My nephew-in-law also made up rumors about me for no reason. For the past three years, I have been the one who wiped his shit and butt when he pooped in his pants pocket. When he suddenly peed in his pants in the middle of the night, I was the one who rushed around to help him clean up. Now he treats me like this, it's simply repaying kindness with hatred..."
Chunxi didn't think there was anything shameful about her taking care of Wei Lingze in the past. She was even rude and blunt when she talked about Wei Lingze's incontinence. All the women present were stunned by her words.
Although Wei Lingze was of noble status and handsome, his incontinence sounded really weird and disgusting, especially when he was standing next to Xiao Qinghe. Everyone couldn't help but feel sorry for Xiao Qinghe.
I always feel that Wei Lingze is dirty and has a smell on him, and he is not worthy of Xiao Qinghe.
Wei Lingze's temples were throbbing, and he stared at Chunxi with a sinister look, his whole body filled with murderous aura.
Why didn't he poison Chunxi and make her mute when he let her leave?
"I can't live anymore. Don't stop me. Let me die. If dying here is unlucky, I'll hang myself at the gate of the Wei family..."
Chunxi didn't care what Wei Lingze thought of him. He howled louder and louder, completely grasping the essence of Mo Yunwan's suicide attempt, but he was even stronger than Mo Yunwan.
She just howled, but didn't seek death.
If she continues to make trouble like this, everyone in Hanjing will know tomorrow that Wei Lingze spread rumors about his aunt and forced the elders to death.
Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Wei Lingze gritted his teeth and said, "Shut up, stop crying, I apologize!"
Chunxi's crying stopped abruptly, but she still hugged the pillar. "Are you going to kneel down and apologize? Is that a sincere apology?"
"yes!"
Wei Lingze's fists were clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound. He wished he could strangle Chunxi to death on the spot, but for the sake of his face, he could only grit his teeth and endure it.
Facing Wei Lingze's murderous gaze, Chunxi quickly came down and sat down next to Xiao Qinghe, and ordered the maid to bring tea.
Yin was horrified watching from the side. Although Chunxi was now a younger aunt, her social status was much lower than Wei Lingze's. Asking Wei Lingze to kneel in public was like a slap in the face of the Wei family.
Yin couldn't help but look at Xiao Qinghe: "He'er, this matter is just a misunderstanding after all. Can you persuade your aunt not to take it too seriously?"
Hearing this, Wei Lingze also looked at Xiao Qinghe. Xiao Qinghe drooped her eyelashes, avoiding his gaze, and said calmly, "A woman's reputation is extremely important. Just because of a word from your husband, your aunt has been unjustly criticized in her in-laws' family. Your husband should indeed apologize to your aunt."
Chunxi nodded heavily and looked at Yin with a smile: "Madam, you have never experienced the hardship I have, so please don't try to persuade me to be magnanimous. I am from a humble background and have a very narrow mind. I cannot tolerate the slightest injustice."
Chunxi finished speaking and looked at Wei Lingze: "The tea will get cold if you leave it any longer. Nephew-in-law can kneel down now."
