Chapter 285: Embarrassing Things
After the mask was knocked off, Wei Lingze felt as if his brain was chopped by a knife, and he became completely awake.
Although there were only a few guards standing in front of him, there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him in the dark.
He just danced with a sword and picked flowers like a waiter in Wuyou Pavilion, and asked people to bid on them. This is simply ridiculous.
Wei Lingze clenched his sword, wanting to kill everyone present today. However, before he could make a move, the guards from Wuyou Pavilion appeared and put a stop to the farce. Lan Shu also came to his side and whispered, "Master Wei, don't be impulsive. These people here today are all important and prestigious people. If anything happens to them, Hanjing will be overturned."
Wei Lingze pursed his lips and remained silent. Lan Shu continued, "They all came to Wuyou Pavilion secretly and didn't want anyone to know their identities. No one will tell anyone about what happened today."
These words touched Wei Lingze. After a little thought, he dropped the sword in his hand and left quickly.
Everyone else was shocked by the fact that Wei Lingze was the head of Wuyou Pavilion. They had no interest in watching the performance and only wanted to gossip.
Princess Hengyang placed her hands on her hips and looked at Chunxi and Xiao Qinghe with dissatisfaction: "Did you two recognize Wei Lingze a long time ago? Why did you deliberately hide it from me?"
Chunxi immediately stroked her hair: "I just think his figure looks a bit similar, but he's wearing a mask and can't see his face clearly. I can't be sure. Besides, with his status, who would have thought he would appear here?"
That's true.
Princess Hengyang was no longer angry. She simply said, "This is truly unexpected. Could it be that Wei Lingze has gone mad because of the divorce?"
Wei Lingze and Princess Hengyang had the same suspicion. After leaving Wuyou Pavilion, he did not return to the Wei family, but went to Huichun Hall to ask a doctor to check the box of incense given by Lan Shu.
"This fragrance is unique, and the spices used are also very special. I have practiced medicine in Huichuntang for many years, but I have never seen it before. Where did you get it? Can you provide me with the spice formula?"
Where can he find the recipe for such an expensive item?
Wei Lingze said impatiently: "There is no recipe, I just want to know if there is anything wrong with this incense."
The doctor sniffed it carefully again, and after a while, he said, "This incense doesn't seem to be poisonous at the moment. Did you feel any discomfort after using it, young master?"
Wei Lingze did not feel uncomfortable. Even the few times he went to see Lan Shu, he could sleep well just by smelling this fragrance. After waking up, he felt indescribably comfortable all over.
That's why he wanted to buy some to take home.
But why did he have the absurd idea of comparing himself with the young waiter in Wuyou Pavilion today?
At that time, Lan Shu had tried her best to dissuade him, but he was like a possessed man, and would not listen to a word. He only wanted to be in the spotlight. At that time, he did not think it was humiliating to be auctioned like an object. Instead, he felt that if he could get the highest bid, it would prove his charm and even prove that He'er's decision to divorce him was a mistake.
It's simply unreasonable!
Wei Lingze didn't answer the doctor's words, took the box of incense and returned to the Wei family.
Although Lan Shu said that the guests would be proud and would not spread the matter, but with so many people talking, rumors were bound to spread.
Wei Lingze is actually the head of Wuyou Pavilion. No wonder Wuyou Pavilion has become so prosperous in just a few years.
The Wei family is a famous family after all, so how come they are secretly engaged in the flesh trade? Is the Wei family short of money?
Furthermore, Wei Lingze even performed on stage himself. Could it be that he knew there was no hope of reinstatement, so he wanted to make more money through Wuyou Pavilion? Where did all those prostitutes in Wuyou Pavilion come from? Could the Wei family be forcing women into prostitution behind closed doors?
When the news reached Wei's father, he immediately came to Lingfeng Courtyard and questioned Wei Lingze: "Son, didn't I tell you to stay home? Why did you have to run out and cause trouble?"
Father Wei's face turned ashen, and he no longer had the pride he had when he mentioned Wei Lingze before. Instead, he was filled with disappointment and anger.
Wei Lingze was stung by his father's gaze and retorted coldly, "I've been suspended from work. Can't I even go out for some fresh air? Does Dad think that I'm bringing shame to the Wei family by still being alive?"
Wei Lingze's words were clearly filled with resentment. Wei's father grew angrier and no longer showed any mercy to Wei Lingze: "You know you've embarrassed yourself. Your grandfather and I have taught you all these years. Do you still remember the Wei family motto? Think about what you've done recently. Is there anything honorable?"
"What Dad needs is just a tool to bring glory to the family, not a living son. I'm already a disgraceful waste. Dad can just pass the position of head of the family to the second and third brothers. If the second and third brothers are unable to handle the responsibility, Dad can find someone else to have a son and train him again."
"You bastard!"
Seeing that Wei Lingze's words were getting more and more outrageous, Wei's father got so angry that he slapped him again.
Having been beaten too many times recently, this slap did not cause any ripples in Wei Lingze's heart.
He nudged his numbed cheek with his tongue and chuckled softly, "I'm indeed a bastard. If Dad doesn't feel satisfied enough, he can still punish me with the family law. I'm a useless son and can't bring honor to the family, but I'm more than capable of being Dad's punching bag."
“…”
Wei's father was so angry at Wei Lingze that his chest ached and his vision went dark. Fortunately, Yun arrived at this time and helped him out of Lingfeng Courtyard. She gave him water and patted his back to help him calm down. Only then did Wei's father slowly recover.
After finally calming down, Wei's father angrily said, "This rebellious son has no intention of reflecting on himself. Instead, he is becoming more and more self-destructive. Does he really think that he is the only one who can be the head of the Wei family?"
Yun's eyelids twitched when she heard this.
Wei Lingze now has no hope of being reinstated, and he has lost his in-laws with the Xiao family. Several uncles and clan elders have complaints about him, thinking that his current character is not worthy of the position of the head of the Wei family. If even Wei's father has such thoughts, then he really has nothing.
Thinking of this, Yun said hurriedly: "Master, please don't be angry. Ze'er has been hit and blamed too much recently, so he spoke without thinking. He respects and admires you very much in his heart."
Father Wei was still angry, and Yun's words did not make his expression any better.
Yun continued, "My brother-in-law has been appointed as the Maritime Customs Commissioner. Next month, the court will transport the first batch of grain to Yuexi. My brother-in-law said that he could let Ze'er go with him to transport the grain. This would not only give Ze'er something to do, but also allow him to gain experience and see the beautiful scenery. If anything happens along the way, if Ze'er performs meritorious service, he might even be able to be reinstated."
When Yun Wantang told Yun Shi about this, Yun Shi felt a little distressed, but now seeing that Wei's father was angry, she made up her mind.
If Ze'er continues to stay like this, he will be useless. It would be good for him to go out and gain some experience.
Wei's father was moved by Yun's proposal. At the same time, Chunxi also received an invitation from the Taifu Mansion.
