In an instant, wails of agony filled the general's mansion.
However, Wei Heng was Zhou Shi's precious grandson, whom she cherished and protected, so no one in the Wei family dared to stop him and could only desperately try to dodge.
Seeing that he couldn't beat anyone else, he could only continue to discipline his elderly grandmother and his heartbroken mother.
The two women cried and pleaded with the children, staggering as they ran, with the teenagers chasing after them and hitting them. The scene was utterly absurd...
Jiang Mingwei covered her face with her sleeve, her expression filled with terror, and she stamped her feet in frustration.
"Oh dear, what should we do! What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and stop Heng'er! What if she hurts Mother and Miss Lu?"
But how could the servants dare to stop them?
If they were to injure Wei Heng, they would be the ones punished, so they had no choice but to find a way to block Wei Heng's path.
As a result, he bit her hard!
She was only in a hurry to push him away. Even though it was her grandson who had done wrong, Zhou glared fiercely at him and said, "You vulgar and lowly person, how dare you harm my precious grandson!"
It was wrong to stop him, and it was also wrong not to stop him. The servant felt disheartened. Although he was still trying to stop him, it was just for show.
Jiang Mingwei's wide sleeves concealed a sly smile as she watched the chase unfold before her, almost bursting into laughter.
Great, I've finally gotten my revenge!
It's no wonder that she persuaded the teacher to help her tutor Wei Heng for a period of time; the pressure increased, and the drawbacks naturally became apparent.
Indeed, the most painful thing is to stab someone in the heart.
The more Zhou Shi and Lu Yun cared about Wei Heng, the more heartbroken they felt at being chased and beaten by children!
"Enough, Heng'er! They are elders. How can you treat them like this?"
Wei Jing finally couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward and lifted Wei Heng up from the ground.
He was small, and was lifted up by the back of his neck like a chick, his fists and legs flapping in the air as he yelled for me to let him go.
But when she met Wei Jing's cold gaze, she was so frightened that she froze, not daring to utter a sound...
Seeing that the mischievous little devil had been subdued, Zhou Shi and Lu Yun should have breathed a sigh of relief, but when they saw that he was being held by Wei Jing, they were immediately furious.
He stormed toward Wei Jing, ready to slap him!
Wei Jing sensed something was wrong and took a step back. Zhou Shi missed her target and looked at him with a sinister gaze, her killing intent undisguised.
"What are you doing, Mother?"
"Shut up! How dare you ask such a question? Put my grandson down right now!"
Wei Jing narrowed his eyes dangerously, his expression cold and stern: "He just attacked you. This child urgently needs a tutor. Are you sure?"
I still remember when I first brought Wei Heng back from the frontier, he was a timid and well-behaved child who would look at me with curious eyes.
I never imagined that after being pampered in the Wei family for so long, she would become such a different person, so arrogant!
If this continues, it could lead to even bigger problems.
He was, after all, his elder brother's only child, and Wei Jing naturally had high hopes for him. Seeing him become like this, he was naturally heartbroken.
Sometimes it's necessary to be strict, and to deal with things strictly!
His words came from the bottom of his heart, and he genuinely cared about Wei Heng, but Zhou Shi interpreted them completely differently.
She would never allow anyone to say a bad word about her grandson, not even if it was a piece of honest advice that was hard to hear!
"What do you mean by that? He's your older brother's child. You're saying he's ill-mannered? Are you implying that you're mocking your older brother? How dare you!"
Mentioning Wei Zhi, Wei Jing turned pale and opened his mouth to explain, but was coldly interrupted by Zhou Shi.
"Enough, shut up! If it weren't for you, your brother wouldn't have died! Even if his son were to leech off you, you would have to endure it. You have no right to lecture his child. Let Heng'er go right now, or you'll regret it!"
"My husband's death on the battlefield is a pain in everyone's heart, so Mother doesn't need to mention it again and again. If it could save my husband, why wouldn't my second brother be willing?"
"We are only discussing Heng'er's upbringing. Why is Mother changing the subject? This child dares to hit Mother and Grandmother today. If he dares to go out and kill innocent people indiscriminately tomorrow, will Mother protect him then?"
Seeing that this old woman was blind and deaf, Wei Jing was clearly helping them escape their predicament and genuinely caring for the child; otherwise, he could have done the same as himself.
Set a trap and sit back and watch the dogs fight!
However, he did not do so, but was instead bitten back by Zhou, who brought up Wei Zhi's death again, trying to use it to bind Wei Jing tightly.
Jiang Mingwei didn't know if others could tolerate it, but she certainly couldn't!
Seeing her sharp tongue, Zhou's lips trembled, and after a long pause, she could only manage to utter, "What's it to you?"
"You barren hen! You've been married to my son for years and haven't given him a single child. How dare you say such things? You have no shame! Get out of here right now!"
Knowing that Jiang Mingwei was recently a favorite of the emperor, Zhou could not do anything to her, so she could only try to find ways to hurt her.
To everyone's surprise, Jiang Mingwei didn't care at all, and even chuckled.
"Mother, have you lost your mind? My husband went to the battlefield on the day we got married. We didn't have any marital relations, so how could I be pregnant and have a child? If I really am pregnant, won't you be furious, Mother?"
After saying that, she pretended to be shy and covered her face with her sleeve, looking like a young girl in love.
Zhou was so angry that she rolled her eyes, while Jiang Mingwei felt incredibly satisfied!
So this is what it feels like to have someone to rely on.
She turned to look at Wei Jing, her eyes filled with sympathy, and whispered words of comfort.
"Second brother, I know you are loyal by nature, but sometimes you also need to understand a principle—"
"Put aside your desire to help others and respect their fate!"
Leaving behind a twelve-character maxim, Jiang Mingwei turned and drifted away.
While Zhou was gritting her teeth in hatred, Wei Jing was already carefully pondering the words she had left behind.
In an instant, everything became clear!
Wei Jing glanced at Wei Heng, who had been lifted up by him and dared not retaliate, but was glaring at Zhou Shi with resentment in her eyes. Wei Jing's thoughts sank slightly.
Since his mother is so hostile to him and keeps misunderstanding his good intentions, why should he deliberately make things unpleasant for himself?
My sister-in-law is right. Let go of your desire to help others. Everyone has their own destiny, which is not something he can easily change.
If Lu Yun and Zhou Shi continue to spoil Wei Heng, it's only a matter of time before he causes trouble!
"Son, I'll ask you one more time, Mother: are you really not going to let me teach Heng'er?"
Zhou came to her senses, snorted coldly, and made no attempt to hide the contempt and disgust in her eyes.
She spoke sharply, each word like a pearl: "So what if you're a general now? In my eyes, you're still just a lowly concubine's son! How can you teach my precious grandson? Put him down right now and get out of here."
These words prompted Wei Jing to make up his mind.
He wasn't angry; instead, the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a relieved smile.
He placed Wei Heng on the ground and slowly released his grip.
"Very well, as Mother wishes!"
After saying that, he turned and left, while Wei Heng, with a fierce glint in her eyes, lunged at Zhou Shi again—
"You wicked grandmother, I'll beat you to death!"
