Chapter 178: Bring her in as a concubine? sneaking
Madam Wei has deep eye sockets.
Because of his age, his eyes looked calm, but they could hardly conceal their sharpness, as if they could see through people's hearts at a glance.
After Wei Ting entered the room, he strode over with his head held high, a smile on his face.
"Grandma, your grandson is here to greet you."
When Madam Wei saw Wei Ting, her face became even more tense. She was still dissatisfied with him for openly asking for the daughter of the Ji family in marriage at the morning court yesterday.
Wei Ting was not afraid of her cold face and coaxed the old lady, "Grandma, who made you angry? I will tie him up and beat him up so that he won't dare to be so presumptuous again."
"Except for you, who else in this family would dare to be so presumptuous?"
Looking at her handsome grandson with outstanding military achievements, Madam Wei's voice was like a cold wind blowing through ancient trees, without a trace of warmth.
"What do you like about Ji Wu?"
Wei Ting didn't even think about it and simply said, "I like her because she is well-educated, well-mannered, and gentle."
"Decent behavior?"
Madam Wei sneered: "If she knows how to handle things, she will chase you in the army and give birth to a child before getting married!"
The reason why Wei Ting acknowledged the child as his and proposed to marry him in the court was not only to reduce obstacles in his proposal to marry Ji Qingwu.
There is another reason, it is Madam Wei.
The old lady is old-fashioned and conservative, and has set rules all her life. If she knew that the child was someone else's, she would definitely not agree to Ji Qingwu entering the Wei family.
The expression on his face was gentle: "Grandma, don't you believe in your grandson's vision? You haven't seen Ji Qingwu. If you really saw him, you would definitely be satisfied."
Madam Wei said firmly: "If Ji Wu wants to marry into the Wei family, I won't agree to her marrying in unless she is brought in as a concubine."
Hearing this, Wei Ting sighed in his heart, but did not show it on his face, and said, "Grandmother, how could the Ji family agree to let their daughter become a concubine in our Wei family? The Queen Mother in the palace will definitely not agree."
"You also know that her Ji family and the Queen Mother are of the same blood?"
Madam Wei blamed her, “If you really care about Li Ru in the palace, you shouldn’t have anything to do with the women of the Ji family.”
Wei Ting was silent for a while, then whispered, "How could my grandson not think about my sister?"
When Madam Wei mentioned Concubine Wei, she felt a little regretful when she saw him lower his brows.
Wei Ting pleaded in a low voice: "My grandson finally found someone he wants to marry, grandma, please grant my wish for once."
Seeing that he was stubborn, Madam Wei knew his temper well. Although he looked as carefree as the breeze and the bright moon, he had actually been stubborn and nostalgic since he was a child.
Thinking of the past, Madam Wei couldn't help but sigh, but she was relieved and said, "Take me to meet the famous Ji Wu some other day."
A light suddenly appeared in Wei Ting's lowered eyes, and the corners of his mouth curved up again.
Old Madam Wei had not seen her grandson for many years, and she felt a surge of love for him.
"You have come back from the North. You have been traveling a long way and have not had a good night's sleep at home. Go back and rest."
The nanny came in again and whispered something in Madam Wei's ear.
As soon as Wei Ting walked to the door, he noticed that Madam Wei's breath had become much heavier, and her old eyes seemed to stare through his back.
"Come back here!"
Madam Wei said sternly, "Madam Pan, please say this to him again."
"Yes, ma'am."
Nanny Pan raised her voice and said, "The fifth young lady of the Ji family dressed up gorgeously today and went out for a stroll on the street. She was surrounded by many young men who took the initiative to flatter her."
"Just the boxes of perfume and lip balm from the cosmetics shop she visited are now being advertised as items used by Miss Ji and are being sold at sky-high prices."
Thinking of this, Wei Ting frowned and his face darkened.
He knew that she acted boldly, but after she returned to Lin'an, she still did this and was blatantly coveted by so many people.
Wei Ting said: "When she marries into the Wei family, I will discipline her."
Madam Wei's disappointment appeared on her face: "Are you sure you want a woman like this as your wife?"
Wei Ting's face was solemn, but he still nodded.
After he left the yard, Madam Wei suddenly looked several years older.
He muttered to himself, "Could it be that those things that happened before really hurt him so much that he found such a vulgar and seductive woman to deliberately piss me off?"
Nanny Pan said, "Don't worry, old lady. The general has been in the army for many years and can count the number of girls he has seen on ten fingers. It is possible that he was temporarily blinded by the beauty of the fifth girl."
Madam Wei sighed and said, "You don't have to comfort me. The reason I agreed is because I saw the determination in his eyes. He has made up his mind, and it is no longer something that I, a grandmother, can persuade him to change."
Afterwards, Madam Wei took off her headband and let Nanny Pan help her to the bed to rest.
As they walked slowly, she asked again, "Have you prepared the scriptures and rosary beads that we will offer to the Bodhisattva at Hanshan Temple tomorrow, as well as the offerings for fulfilling our vows?"
"It has been prepared a long time ago, please rest assured, old lady."

Ji Qingwu went out for a while, and finally did not forget to visit the clinic that was being renovated to check on the progress.
When Mi Zhenchuan saw her, he didn't dare to recognize her at first. It was only after she said a few words that he recognized her.
"Miss Fifth, today is really..." The eloquent Shopkeeper Mi was at a loss for words for a moment.
I just think she is so beautiful that I dare not look at her directly, and one look at her will give rise to evil thoughts.
Mi Zhenchuan deliberately avoided the question and tilted his head, saying, "Fifth Miss, according to your instructions, except for the third floor, all other places have been opened."
Ji Qingwu had long been accustomed to the various looks from the crowd. She said calmly, "Shopkeeper Mi, if possible, use metal cabinets instead of wooden ones. Wood is susceptible to moisture and mold, which is not conducive to storing medicinal materials."
Mi Zhenchuan admired the Fifth Young Lady's meticulous thinking.
Just then, two men suddenly pushed the door open and broke in.
The young man walking in front did not speak, but stood with his hands behind his back. The person behind him took a step forward, and they looked like a master and a servant.
"Isn't this a restaurant? Why is it so messy?" said the older man.
They looked like they were from Lin'an, but when they spoke, their accents didn't seem like that.
Mi Zhenchuan said: "This restaurant has closed down. If you want to eat, please find another place."
The young man's eyes met Ji Qingwu's for a moment, and the man's eyes were silver-gray with a hint of faint blue.
Seeing her dressed like this, with a calm look in her eyes, did not arouse any reverie.
Ji Qingwu quickly looked away and the two of them left soon.
If you were a permanent resident of the city, how could you not know that the largest restaurant in Lin'an had closed down? With such facial features, Ji Qingwu guessed that he should be from Xijin.
I just don't know why they came to Lin'an. I haven't heard of any Xijin envoys visiting recently. The war at the border is tense...
Ji Qingwu gave a few more instructions and planned to take Lanzhi home.
As soon as I walked out the door, I saw a sneaky figure.
As soon as he saw her, he drew his head back.
