Chapter 567: Guilt
Just when Lin He was hesitating whether to go or not, Master Wen, who had been listening to everyone's pleas and didn't speak, spoke up: "Have you forgotten what I just said." Butler, count me how many people have interceded just now, and one more person will add a whip, if there is less whip, only you ask. ”
Master Wen's words made the main house that was a little chaotic suddenly quiet, Lin He understood a little now, could it be that Wen Ningxuan refused to intercede just now because he knew that his father would be like this? Thinking about it, he looked at Wen Ningxuan, who knew that this guy didn't react at all, just holding his head with his hands and closing his eyes to recuperate, as if the things here and the people here had nothing to do with him.
However, the old lady next to her listened to Master Wen's words, and said very unhappily: "Jie'er, you are too much, how to say, Chen'er is also your son, you are not just punishing him like this, you are asking for his life, if this is the case, there is no need to whip it, butler, you go and get a knife to your master, let him stab Chen'er to death directly." ”
Master Wen listened to the old lady's words, snorted coldly, looked at the old lady with a very stern expression and said: "Mother, just because Chen'er is my son and the eldest son of the Wen family, I ask him even more to set an example for all the juniors of the Wen family. ”
"Causing trouble, molesting people's girls, embezzling the money of the shop without permission, you ask him which of these things he hasn't done. In addition to these, his private life is also extremely absurd, and you have shielded him again and again, and he has become more and more emboldened by connivance. Usually he doesn't mess around outside, but this time he actually did such a shameful thing in the Wen family, and lied to me that it was a happy relationship. If it's really a happy relationship, they can tell me that they can get married first, will I not allow it? ”
"Mother, over the years, because Chen'er is your eldest grandson, you have always doted on him very much. But it was because of these favors that he spoiled him, and now he can't tell right from wrong. If you don't let him remember a lesson this time, I'm afraid that even if he does something heinous in the future, he will think it's right, and if that's when you think about discipline. It's too late. ”
Master Wen's words were harsh. But it's all the truth, the old lady listened, and couldn't refute it, but she was really reluctant to let her grandson, who had always loved her, suffer like this, and suddenly said with a somewhat sneering face: "Chen'er did something wrong, it was to be disciplined, and there was no need to be so ruthless, after all, it was his own son." ”
"yes. Master, I know that Chen'er has done a lot of things wrong. But it's not all his fault, if you want to blame me, this mother is not good at discipline, and it's understandable that you want to punish him, but you will put Chen'er to death like this, fifty lashes are afraid that Chen'er's life will be added, and dozens of whips will be added to this, how do you let him live, if Chen'er has three long and two short, I don't have the face to live, master, do you want to watch our two mothers and sons die in front of you? Mrs. Wen saw that the old lady's words of intercession were useless, and she couldn't care about anything else now, and she was very sad to stand beside Master Wen and cry.
Although Mrs. Wen's words were full of emotion, Master Wen was not moved by Mrs. Wen's tears at all, glanced at her, stood up, and slowly spoke: "Madam, it turns out that you have also reflected, and you also know that it is because of your poor discipline that Chen'er will get to this point today, in this case, why don't you make up your mind to teach Chen'er well?" Again and again, you have connived at Yuzhen's incident at the beginning, if you knew to strictly restrain Chen'er after that time, this kind of thing would not have happened today. ”
"However, you have a saying that is right, this fault is not all Chen'er's fault, you are also at fault, do you know why I punished Chen'er so heavily, because part of it is Chen'er who is being punished for you, so that you can understand how much it hurts to be a mother's heart when your son is punished."
"In the future, if you can manage this family well, and you can educate your children well, naturally there will be no changes in the family, otherwise you will be replaced, and you are not the only one who can manage the Wen family, besides, the Wen family is different from the past, and there is no longer any need to rely on anyone, and my Wen family should also go formal." The last words, Uncle Wen said in Mrs. Wen's ear, except for Mrs. Wen, the others didn't hear it very clearly.
After listening to Mr. Wen's words, Mrs. Wen was like ashes, and sat down on her chair, Master Wen said such words, indicating that over the years, he knew about Wen Ningxuan and some things at home, he just thought that his mother's family was helpful to him, and he had been pretending not to know, and now Mrs. Wen's maiden family is not as good as before, and the Wen family no longer needs the support of her mother's family, so she will no longer have to cover the sky with one hand in the Wen family.
After Uncle Wen finished speaking, he spoke again; "From now on, our Wen family has some rules to change, and in the future, the position of the Wen family will no longer be replaced by the eldest son, but let the capable live there, whether it is a son-in-law or a concubine, as long as everyone can see your ability, anyone can take over this position."
"There is one more thing, in the future, I will handle the marriage of Ning Chen and Ning Nuo, Mrs. must be too busy, and in the future, Aunt Luo and Xuan's daughter-in-law He'er will help Mrs. manage the affairs of the housekeeper at home, and if there is anything to tell me directly."
If Uncle Wen's words shocked Mrs. Wen at the beginning, then the words that followed simply made Mrs. Wen a little broken, Master Wen's words were nice on the surface, saying that it was to reduce her burden, but in fact, it was weakening her rights step by step, and the other two people arranged were the people she didn't want to see the most.
At this time, Mrs. Wen also forgot about Wen Ningchen, she just sat on her chair with a pale face, and even Master Wen asked the housekeeper to drag Wen Ningchen down and whip her, but only Li Yuzhen and Qing Mo followed, but Mrs. Wen still sat motionless on the chair, as if nothing had anything to do with her.
And the other people were also startled when they heard Uncle Wen's words, and suddenly they couldn't believe what Master Wen said, Wen Ningchen was wrong this time, and the punishment was so heavy that it was not light, even if Mrs. Wen was punished for not being strict because of Wen Ningchen's affairs, it would be too serious.
Although everyone didn't quite understand why Master Wen was like this, but because Mrs. Wen was usually unpopular, no one opened her mouth to help Mrs. Wen speak, just sat silently, and even the old lady didn't speak.
Lin He listened to the conversation between Master Wen and Mrs. Wen on the side, she could understand it, although she was also quite surprised how Master Wen would know these things, for so many years, Master Wen has been ignoring these things, she thought that Master Wen didn't know anything, but she didn't expect that he knew everything.
At the same time, she blamed Uncle Wen for why she didn't say it until today, but at this time, her heart was quite happy, although it was late, but she finally spoke out for her husband, so that she would not be so silently harsh by Mrs. Wen for so many years. (To be continued......)
