Chapter Ninety-Three: Forced Marriage
Ninety-three, forced marriage
"That's not what the old slave meant!" The housekeeper Lao Liu was a little angry, although he didn't like Huo Mei, but he didn't want to kill her.
"But that's what Mrs. Wei meant! In front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the wife, she begged Her Majesty to give her a marriage and let Ah Ling marry a flat wife, at that time, she had my daughter-in-law in her heart? Has she ever given me a good look since she entered the house? I am the lady of the General's Mansion whom she asked His Majesty to marry, but in her eyes, I am afraid that I am not even as good as a slave, so what qualifications do you have to teach me a lesson on her behalf? ”
Lao Liu's body was shocked, at first he was shocked that there was someone close to Huo Mei to protect her, thinking that although she was the young lady of Sima Mansion, she was a weak woman after all, so she didn't take her in her eyes at all, and Lao Liu was also with Lian Jiazi, and after confronting Xiaohong, he knew Xiaohong's ability, such a master was willing to deign to be a maid beside Huo Mei, which shows that this young lady of Sima Mansion is not so weak and bullying on the face.
"Since you know that you are the daughter-in-law of the old lady, you should fulfill filial piety, and not sow discord between their mother and son like this! Parents all over the world! It is natural for children to be filial to their elders! ”
"What the butler said is very true, and if it is so, then I will go and visit my mother now!" After saying that, Huo Mei raised his feet and walked out, and the housekeeper Lao Liu was stunned for a moment, and quickly stopped Huo Mei's footsteps.
"Wait! If only the old lady had a son to serve, wouldn't bother the young lady! ”
Lao Liu's eyes flickered a little, and Huo Mei's face suddenly sank, I am afraid that this old lady Wei's condition may have another hidden secret, and Wei Ling is probably not so simple. Thinking of this, Huo Mei's footsteps did not stop, and walked towards the courtyard of Old Lady Wei.
As soon as Wei Ling entered the courtyard of Old Madam Wei, he felt that the atmosphere around him was unusual, because the surroundings were full of secret guards, and the breath of these people Wei Ling was very unfamiliar, he knew that it was not the secret guard of the General's Mansion, so his eyes darkened a little.
"Son, greetings to his mother!" When Wei Ling entered the door, he saluted in front of Mrs. Wei's bed, Mrs. Wei had her eyes closed, but she opened her eyes and looked at Wei Ling intently.
There was no sickness in Mrs. Wei's expression, which made Wei Ling frown, it seems that the news she has inquired about in the past few days is true, and she can't help but feel a little disappointed in her heart, who would like to be designed by her mother?
"I thought you would never come back with that little slut? How? Are you willing to go back to this general's mansion? ”
"She's not a slut, she's the lady of the General's Mansion!"
Mrs. Wei got up from the bed and looked at Wei Ling in front of her with deep eyes, this son has been filial since he was a child, and he has never done anything to disobey Mrs. Wei since he was a child, and since Huo Mei married into the general's mansion, Wei Ling seems to be against Mrs. Wei everywhere, how can this not make Mrs. Wei angry.
"Since you have returned home, then you will get married to Yun'er today, your uncle and cousin have come to Chang'an, and you will have a round room with Yun'er tonight!" Mrs. Wei's tone is undoubted, which makes Wei Ling's backbone even worse, everything he has done since he was a child is to obey Mrs. Wei's will, but for the sake of Huo Mei, he can't compromise, he knows Huo Mei's personality very well, and if she wants her to serve with another woman, the first thing she will do is to leave Wei Ling.
And Wei Ling never thought of taking a concubine, in his opinion, a man's loyalty to his wife is a responsibility, and taking a concubine under the banner of having children and spreading branches is irresponsible. What's more, Wei Ling's father, Wei Deng, only had one wife in his life, Mrs. Wei, so Wei Ling never thought about taking a concubine.
"I said it, I will never take a concubine in this life, and I ask my mother not to embarrass my son!"
"What kind of bastard are you talking about, how can Yun'er be a concubine, as long as you marry her into the door, she will be the wife of the General's Mansion, and that little slut will only have the life of being a slave!" Wei Ling was also angry, how could he not be angry when Huo Mei, whom he cherished so much, was said so unbearable by his mother.
Why did Mother say that? You forced me to marry her, and now you force me to marry my cousin, what am I in your eyes? ”
Old Mrs. Wei didn't lie on the bed and pretended to be sick, got up and stood opposite Wei Ling, stared at him for a long time, and then said slowly: "Ling'er, you are my only son, everything I do is for you, so I will do the happy event with Yun'er today, and when you have a house and a child, I will help Yun'er to be a wife!" Wei Ling looked at his mother and didn't speak for a long time, her persistence had reached the point of sickness, Wei Ling felt strange to such a mother.
"I won't marry Liu Yun'er, my mother should dispel this idea!"
"You...... You...... Okay, you deserve to be a good son for your mother, if you don't marry Yun'er as a flat wife today, you will die for your mother! After the words fell, Mrs. Wei took out a dagger from her sleeve and put it against her neck, the cold light emitted from the dagger made Wei Ling's heart tremble, and Mrs. Wei's persecution was so resolute that Wei Ling felt that her whole chest was tingling.
At this time, Huo Mei took Xiaohong into Mrs. Wei's courtyard, walked into the bedroom and looked at the scene in front of her, Huo Mei's brows furrowed, walked to Wei Ling's side, and gently pinched Wei Ling's fingers, Wei Ling was surprised by her arrival.
"Why are you here? Doesn't it give you a good rest? ”
"Mother, what's wrong?" Wei Ling couldn't care about Huo Mei's answer to the question, his eyes were always staring at the dagger in Mrs. Wei's hand, Mrs. Wei was also stunned for a moment when she saw Huo Mei coming in, but she quickly regained her composure, and the strength in her hand was increased, and a scar was also scratched on her neck.
"Mother, why is that? Did Ling make you angry? Mrs. Wei snorted coldly, looking at Huo Mei as if she had been cut down, she wished that she could directly chop Huo Mei alive.
"Since you bumped into it, I won't hide it, Ling'er is going to marry Yun'er tonight, if you don't agree, I will kill myself!" Huo Mei looked at Mrs. Wei's appearance and suddenly wanted to laugh, she had seen forced marriage, but she had never seen someone who forced her son to marry with her own life, such a fierce scene, Huo Mei was really angry for a while.
"Mother really wants to do this?" Seeing Huo Mei softening and asking herself, Old Madam Wei smiled quite proudly, she didn't believe that Wei Ling could watch her commit suicide and was indifferent.
"Naturally!" Mrs. Wei replied affirmatively, and Huo Mei smiled faintly, which made Mrs. Wei a little nervous in vain.
Soon Huo Mei's voice sounded, "Since my mother is forced to die, if Ah Ling and I don't agree, won't we be infamous for being unfilial!" But my marriage with Ah Ling was given by the emperor, and the marriage book was also recorded in the Tingwei Mansion, since my mother values Yun'er's cousin so much, I will send someone into the palace to return the holy decree of His Majesty's marriage to His Majesty, so that His Majesty can make another holy decree and give Yun'er's cousin to be Ah Ling's wife, and my mother thinks it is appropriate to do this? ”
