Chapter 379 I knew I couldn't hide it from you
When Wei Laoda and Wei Laoer saw their eldest uncle arrive, they thought things might take a turn for the better. Unexpectedly, the only difference was that their mother would first go to her parents' home to relax before returning to her hometown.
The eldest and second eldest Wei brothers were extremely frustrated.
"Uncle, could you please put in a good word for us brothers? We're still so young, it would be such a waste for us to go back to our hometown now."
"Yes, Uncle, please put in a good word for us again. His Majesty watched us grow up, he will definitely give us another chance."
Sun Muxin also wanted to.
However, his brother-in-law said that his two nephews no longer had a good impression on the emperor and the crown prince, and that it would be better to use his favor on their children rather than on these two nephews.
Sun Muxin told Wei Guogong's eldest and second eldest sons about his idea. "You two are your father's own sons. Your father would never harm you. Just wait and enjoy the blessings of your children and grandchildren."
Wei the eldest and Wei the second eldest: "..." They didn't want to.
After packing their things, Sun Muxin and Boss Wei prepared to set off.
However, when Wei Laoda came to invite the Duchess, she started causing trouble again.
The Duchess took out a white silk ribbon from her sleeve. "Go and call your father and your eldest uncle. If they don't come, I'll hang myself here."
Wei the Elder immediately went to find the Duke of Wei and Sun Muxin. He knew his mother was doing this to get something from his father. If she succeeded, he would certainly receive his share.
After hearing what Wei Laoda said, Duke Wei felt that he should just divorce his wife.
Hearing Wei Laoda's words, Sun Muxin felt that his sister was going to ruin all their relationship. "Brother-in-law, don't be angry. I'll go see what she's up to."
Duke Wei clenched his fist. "I'll go with you."
"Alright. If she makes any unreasonable demands, just ignore her. I'll deal with her."
"Okay. Let's go."
Soon, the two arrived at the Duchess's room.
As soon as Sun Muxin entered, he reprimanded the Duchess before saying, "Speak, why did you call us here?"
The Duchess looked at the Duke of Wei and said, "I can leave, I can make room for your new wife, but I have to decide Wei Cheng'er's marriage. If you don't agree, I'll hang myself right here."
The Duke of Wei clenched his fists even tighter. "Do you hate Cheng'er that much?"
In the past, the Duchess would definitely have said, "Yes! That's how much I hate her!"
Now even her older brother says he wants to give her a bowl of poison.
If she says that again, she's asking for trouble. "I'm already in this situation, who would I dare to hate? Didn't you say she's smart and capable? I just want to see if she's really as good as you say."
“I won’t be able to move around freely in the future, so I want to marry her off to my family.”
"As for which nephew I will marry, I'll go back to my parents' home and see which nephew is the most clever before I decide."
"Don't worry, I will definitely pick a good one for Cheng'er."
The Duke of Wei was worried. However, he believed that with Wei Cheng'er's intelligence, if she didn't like the person chosen by the Duchess, she would definitely find a way to break off the engagement.
"Okay, I promise you."
"Words are no proof; let's put it in writing."
"Fine." Even with a written agreement, you can't beat Cheng'er.
The Duke of Wei quickly finished writing the agreement. "Here you go."
The Duchess checked the document and, finding no problems, put it away. With this document, that troublemaker would never escape her grasp. She would definitely find him a "good" husband. "Let's go, it's time to set off."
The Duchess was the first to walk out of the room.
Sun Muxin leaned closer to the Duke of Wei and whispered, "After we get home, I'll find a way to steal the document."
"No need. Cheng'er is only eight years old this year, and it's too early for her to get married. Besides, she'll definitely make a scene if you steal the agreement."
"Alright, let's wait until Cheng'er is older before we talk about it."
Ten days later, while Wei Guo was busy, the steward suddenly arrived.
Just as the Duke of Wei was about to ask the steward why he was there, the steward said, "Your Excellency, your uncle... your uncle sent someone to say that the lady... the lady has passed away."
The Duke of Wei was stunned. This wasn't how they had agreed on it! "How did the lady die?"
"As the lady was crossing the bridge in her carriage, a snake suddenly darted out from under the bridge. The snake bit the lady's horse, and the horse, startled, pulled the carriage and fell into the river. The lady hit her head when she fell in. When the accompanying guards pulled the lady out, the lady... the lady was already gone."
"I understand. You can go out now. I want to be alone."
"yes."
Just now, after hearing the steward's words, the Duke of Wei immediately thought of how his wife had added something to Wei Cheng'er's medicine. The Duke knew he shouldn't be thinking like this, but he couldn't help feeling that it was Heaven's punishment for his wife.
Punish her for harming her own granddaughter.
Even after punishing her to the point of sending her back to her parents' home, they still wouldn't let Cheng'er go and wanted to control Cheng'er's marriage.
The Duke of Wei remained silent for a while before calling in his steward. "Send someone to bring the master and the others back."
Yes. What about Madam?
"I'll go pick her up myself." As husband and wife, he wanted her to leave with dignity.
The steward thought the Duchess was truly ungrateful. "Your Excellency, should we send someone to bring Miss Cheng back?"
"No need." The Duke of Wei felt that his wife definitely didn't want Wei Cheng'er to pay respects to her. Besides, he didn't know where Wei Cheng'er was now.
The steward assumed that the Duke of Wei thought Wei Cheng'er had gone mad from the fever and that it didn't matter much whether he returned or not. "Yes, then I'll go and make the arrangements."
