Chapter 1773: Chapter 1773: Oppression (6)
Wei Zhangshi’s hand inside her sleeve clenched tightly; if she weren’t restraining herself so hard, she’d really want to tear off that hypocritical face of Wei Qishi.
"Sister-in-law, you really ought to take this matter seriously." Wei Qishi called over her eldest servant girl, "The Zhao Family isn’t just any ordinary family, whether they’ll find Yaoyao acceptable is still a question."
The eldest servant girl brought over a box and placed it on the table.
"This is a set of hair ornaments, for dressing up Yaoyao. Tomorrow we’ll visit the Zhao Family, at least have a look..."
"Thank you for your efforts, sister-in-law." Wei Zhangshi took a deep breath, trying to keep her tone even, "However, Yaoyao’s marriage, her father has his own thoughts..."
"What do you mean by that?" Wei Qishi immediately frowned, raising her voice, "Are you blaming us for meddling?"
Wei Zhangshi lowered her eyes, saying nothing.
"This matter was agreed upon by the master and the old master and old madam." Wei Qishi stood up with a bang, "Don’t forget, you are also part of the Wei Family. Only when the Wei Family prospers can you do well..."
Wei Zhangshi bit her lip: "Of course we hope for the Wei Family’s prosperity, but I’m her mother, Yaoyao is my daughter, I can’t let her jump into a fire pit..."
"What? You’re saying the Zhao Family is a fire pit? You..."
"Brother Cen is still not feeling well, I’ll be going back now." Wei Zhangshi didn’t want to stay any longer, after saying this stiffly, she turned around and left.
A string of curses came from the room behind her.
But Wei Zhangshi didn’t care, she only quickened her steps, leaving the main family’s courtyard. She just felt an anger burning in her chest, in urgent need of an outlet, otherwise, she felt she would explode.
"What happened?" Wei Bingcen, lying on the bed, looked at his wife as if she were sleepwalking, suddenly startled. After so many years together, he naturally knew this was a reaction from being extremely upset.
"Mother, what happened?" Wei Yao hurried to support Wei Zhangshi.
"Mother, what did aunt come to see you about?" Wei Jun frowned, directly asking.
Only then did Wei Zhangshi come back to her senses, but she immediately hugged Wei Yao, tears falling down.
"What on earth happened?" Wei Bingcen was anxious, suddenly sitting up, but he wobbled a bit, considering he had lost so much blood, he was a bit weak.
"Brother Cen." Wei Zhangshi still felt heartache for her husband and quickly went over to support him, "Don’t worry, I’m fine... it’s just, just that I was spoken to by big sister-in-law... you know, that’s just how she is..."
"Really nothing?" Wei Bingcen frowned.
"Really." Wei Zhangshi forced a smile, "I just feel stifled here at the main family, so I feel uncomfortable, really nothing..."
Wei Bingcen looked at his wife but didn’t continue to ask.
Wei Yao and Wei Jun couldn’t ask anything more either.
After dinner, when the children had returned to their courtyard, Wei Bingcen finally held his wife’s hand, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Wei Zhangshi recounted what her sister-in-law had said when she called her over, "Sister-in-law said she’ll take Yaoyao to the Zhao Family tomorrow to have a look..."
"Outrageous." Wei Bingcen pounded the bed in anger. His daughter, how could she marry an old man even older than him? It’s understandable that the Wei Family wants to curry favor with the Governor, but they shouldn’t set their sights on her daughter. There are many girls in the Qiong Family, why not send one from there?
