Chapter 131: Wenyuan Hou was almost pissed off to death
"No wonder, no wonder. I was wondering why Brother Changyou arranged a marriage for his daughter so quickly. I thought it was my hesitation that Brother Changyou found out, but it turned out to be you two's doing. No wonder Marquis Wu'an severed ties with us from then on. You two are really great people."
Wen Yuanhou felt that the only reason he hadn't been angered to death by these two people was that he was lucky.
"My Lord, please don't blame us. You hesitated at that time. Otherwise, how would we dare to do that?"
Marquis Wenyuan looked at his wife's confused face and slapped her in the face. He didn't have any tradition of not hitting women.
"My Lord, you..." Marquis Wenyuan's wife covered her face with a look of disbelief. The Marquis actually hit her for such a thing. She also felt really wronged.
Seeing his father so angry, Wen Shicheng was terrified. He stopped crying out in pain and even his breathing slowed down, fearing that Wen Yuanhou would notice him and give him the same blow. His face was already quite painful.
"What do you know, you fool? Even if I hesitate, the worst that can happen is that I won't get married. Wu Anhou will definitely understand my concerns about being suspected, but what are you two doing? You are trampling on Wu Anhou's face.
"A good legitimate daughter of yours is being made a concubine by your son who is neither good at literature nor martial arts. How can you be so arrogant?"
Wen Yuanhou found a seat as he spoke, but inside he was furious. They had been good friends for so many years, but now he knew why. He had previously complained that Changyou didn't understand him. Who could understand this?
After being beaten and questioned by Marquis Wenyuan, the wife of Marquis Wenyuan did not dare to say a word and found a place to sit far away from Marquis Wenyuan.
When Marquis Wenyuan saw his wife remained silent, he knew these people only cared about causing trouble and had never thought about how to solve it. He was extremely arrogant and said, "Tell me, what happened to you today? Don't tell me that Princess Funing sent people to Marquis Wenyuan's mansion to beat you up?"
Seeing that his useless son remained silent, Marquis Wenyuan threatened directly, "If you don't tell me, I'll send you to a farm in the countryside to fend for yourself. There won't be any good doctors there, and I don't know if your leg will be lame by then."
"My Lord, Cheng'er is your biological son."
"If you want to go with me, just keep on making trouble." Marquis Wu'an was extremely annoyed with his wife at this moment, for teaching their legitimate son like this.
Wen Shicheng didn't want to become a cripple, so he had to tell the truth. He didn't dare lie, for he was afraid that his father would ask him about it, which would make him even more miserable.
"So you think you can still give him a chance to marry Princess Funing?" Marquis Wenyuan was really impressed by his son.
After being severely beaten, Wen Shicheng knew that he was overthinking it, but he could only nod truthfully.
Marquis Wenyuan looked at Wen Shicheng in disbelief, "Where do you get this confidence from? You look like a loser. You're not even fit to hold Princess Funing's shoes, let alone marry her."
After saying this, Wenyuan Hou stood up and prepared to leave. He wanted to quickly explain to Changyou that this was really not what he meant, and he was not so mean as to act like a villain.
Seeing that Marquis Wu'an was about to leave, Marquis Wenyuan's wife could only muster up the courage to shout, "My Lord, if you leave like this, will our Cheng'er's injury be in vain?"
Regardless of whether Lady Wenyuanhou was stupid or not, she truly loved her son, and it was this son who spent the most time with her on weekdays.
"Why don't you leave? Do you want me to break his other leg too? He went to someone else's house and did something stupid, and they're lucky enough to let him live. If you two keep causing trouble, I don't mind divorcing your wife."
He was afraid that the mother and son would be unwilling to accept this and cause him some big trouble, so he could only bring this up to try to make them behave themselves.
When Wen Shicheng heard his father say this, he was really afraid of breaking his leg again, as that would be too painful. He immediately admitted his mistake and said, "Father, I know I was wrong. I will stay at home and recuperate. I will live a good life with my wife in the future and will not go out and cause trouble."
Wen Shicheng now thought his wife was quite good. She didn't care whether he took concubines or spent money. She always greeted him with a smile and gave birth to a legitimate son. She was a thousand times better than that tigress Zhao Lingmeng.
Upon hearing this, Marquis Wenyuan glanced at his wife again, and his wife could only say unwillingly, "I won't cause any trouble either."
Marquis Wenyuan also saw through his wife's duplicity and added, "Princess Funing slapped the third prince last night, and the emperor and the queen didn't blame her. If you want to get beaten, go ahead! All that's waiting for you then is this letter of divorce from me." After saying this, Marquis Wenyuan left without looking back. He didn't want to see these two idiots at the moment.
The Queen was quite surprised. She waited until Princess Fushou had rested before calling her daughter over. She wanted to know what kind of person Princess Funing was and whether she was worthy of getting along with her.
Princess Fushou first recounted in detail her casual conversation with Zhao Lingmeng at the banquet the previous night. At the end of the conversation, Fushou signaled her mother with her eyes to send the attendants away.
After the Queen had asked everyone around her to leave, she sat down next to her mother and whispered, "Fu Ning hinted that I should find a prince consort, and I must act quickly."
"Really?" The queen stood up immediately after hearing that.
"She said it very vaguely and in a joking tone. If I ask her for details, she will definitely not admit it." Fushou looked at the queen with a look that said, "Mother, you are stupid."
The queen also knew that her daughter was right. Who would dare to guarantee such a thing?
"It's possible that it's true. Marquis Wu'an has always been your father's favorite, so he must be able to detect something. Moreover, Marquis Wu'an was originally awarded the title of marquis for military merit, so he is very perceptive about many things."
After the queen finished speaking, she hurriedly paced around the room. She had originally wanted to keep her daughter for another two years, so she had not yet started looking for candidates for a son-in-law. How could she find a reliable person in such a short time?
"For things like this, it's better to believe it than not to believe it." Fushou was in poor health to begin with, and she definitely didn't want to go to the marriage. She didn't want to die in a foreign country.
"But where can we find someone in such a short time?" This is what the queen is most worried about.
"I think my cousin is a good guy." Fushou's words were shocking. Which unmarried girl could participate in such discussions on her own?
"No, your eldest cousin is a good person, but your eldest aunt obviously looks down on you, and it will be difficult to get along with you in the future." The queen knew her eldest sister-in-law, and she was just looking forward to having a grandson!
