Chapter 656: Containment
Who would have thought that his clansmen would collude with Gu Chengyuan.
Even though Wei Yanran had been mentally prepared for a long time, she still couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this.
Because the words spoken by the old man in charge of the ancestral hall were too shocking.
"Now the entire Wei family is helping and supporting each other with King An, otherwise where do you think the Wei family's current glory and favor come from? As soon as the battle ended, do you think there are still a few men in the Wei clan who can support the Wei clan for Wei Taifu? β
Qin Yenan and Ouyang Xian were stunned when they heard this.
In the previous war with Liufeng Kingdom, it was true that the Wei clan contributed the most, and everyone could not question this.
"The emperor who sacrificed his clan on the battlefield has been posthumously rewarded and rewarded, is this the reason why you are now collecting taxes privately, forcibly occupying people's land, and colluding with officials and businessmen? If everyone is like this, wouldn't the world be chaotic! β
Wei Yanran looked angrily at the people of her Wei clan in front of her, but now she could only raise her voice to show her anger, and she couldn't do anything else.
"If the princess still remembers her surname Wei, please return Sheng Nan's child, if you can't climb the Guogong Mansion, there will naturally be a magistrate to marry, and the daughter's family can't be ruined like this."
The topic returned to Wei Shengnan again, but the situation changed.
Before, he was begging Wei Yanran to protect Wei Shengnan, but now this person who is in charge of the family ancestral hall is actually threatening Wei Yanran with both soft and hard, and the truth in his mouth seems to be persuading Wei Yanran to recognize the facts.
But how can Wei Yanran recognize it.
"The two of you might as well have something to say, if you continue to speak inappropriately, it's okay to cut first and then play."
Qin Yenan knew that Wei Yanran was uncomfortable in her heart, and she couldn't bear to be bullied by them here, so she stared directly at the person in front of her and said cruel words.
He is willing to do anything for Wei Yanran.
"What the prince said is to make the princess abandon the whole family? This Wei clan has been handed down from the hands of the former patriarch Wei Taifu, if it is really true that the princess is so serious, then the fate of the Hai clan is the fate of the Wei clan, Yanran, do you really have no love for the clan? Now that things are clear, you have never suffered a loss, Wei has never been embarrassed, no matter what the outcome is in the future, Wei can keep it well. β
It was indeed not simple for this guy from the housekeeper's ancestral hall to say these words calmly when he saw that he was threatened, but his words also successfully made Wei Yanran shift his attention to him.
Although it is not obvious that men are inferior to women, there has always been a distinction between the dignity and inferiority of the descendants.
Why is Wei Shengnan's daughter so important, could it be that this Wei Shengnan knows something else? Or maybe this Wei Shengnan's parents are actually the people who are most involved with Gu Chengyuan.
Since Wei Yanran had this idea in her heart, she directly asked Qin Yenan to take this housekeeper to find Wei Shengnan's biological parents to prevent them from colluding, leaving only Lu Xue and Wei Yanran to face this old-fashioned Wei clan patriarch.
After Qin Yenan left, Wei Yanran felt that the patriarch had relaxed a lot, and Wei Yanran took the opportunity to seriously look at the patriarch and ask a soul question.
"It's understandable that the patriarch cares about the whole clan, but did the patriarch ever think that once the incident happened, everyone would die because of it, and with the foundation of the Wei clan, everyone will definitely have a smooth life." 3800
Wei Yanran's words were right, but when she said the word Rong Favor, the patriarch's reaction was too intense.
"Honor? The words of the princess are easy to say, then let me ask you, if the prince dies in battle, and the emperor wantonly pursues the title, are you willing to bring up your child alone with hard work? Do you know how much criticism your child will have to endure in this life? β
Wei Yanran was asked by the patriarch's words, she didn't know how to answer for a long time, she just shook her head in place.
Seeing that Wei Yanran didn't speak, the patriarch slammed the cane in his hand on the ground, and sighed before speaking quietly.
"The Wei clan is a hundred-year-old clan, but the princess doesn't know that it is no less difficult to govern this clan than it is to govern a country, some people of the Wei clan may not be as good as a butcher, but they still have to pay taxes to serve according to the identity of the Wei clan, how many people died on the battlefield, how many orphans and widows are waiting for the people of the Wei clan to help, the princess is used to eating and drinking, how can you experience the taste?"
Wei Yanran listened to the patriarch's bitter words, and didn't know what she should say for a while.
Maybe there are some things that she is too serious, but all these things are really in front of her eyes, how can she be indifferent.
"Even if you have a hard time, why do you want to collude with King An?"
Wei Yanran knew that the patriarch had a hard time in her heart, but she didn't know what she should say for a while, so she had to ask the most essential question again.
"If you wait for the court to come to the rescue, you can't wait for starvation, not to mention the turmoil in the court now, if everyone is waiting for the court to come to the rescue, will the court save it? You were brought up by Taifu himself, you should be able to understand these things better, if I don't deal with it, do you think you can be safe and sound? β
Wei Yanran was speechless by these words, and could only look at the ground quietly.
Her mind is very messy, she doesn't know that one thing will pull out so many things behind it, she won't ignore Wei, but if she really wants to attack Wei, Wei Yanran can't do it.
The two of them were still silent here, and on the other side, Qin Yenan led people to Wei Shengnan's house.
Her family doesn't look wealthy, and the snack box on the table has worn off the paint, but why would such a family want to send their daughter to a rich family as a concubine?
Qin Yenan chatted a lot with Wei Shengnan's parents with questions, and he suddenly realized that there must be other articles in it.
Maybe Gu Chengyuan and Wei's people colluded, maybe this kind of thing would not be Gu Chengyuan's idea, maybe this Wei Shengnan was just used by people with intentions, and now the East Window incident is forced to helplessly pull Wei's back.
"You mean that Miss Wei Shengnan was picked up by Princess An, and she was picked up after the people from King An's Mansion left, so what do you mainly do on weekdays?"
Qin Yenan's aloud question was nothing more than to verify his question, but the answer he got surprised Qin Yenan.
"It was indeed Princess An who picked it up later, and it was supposed to pick up two, but our family is just this one girl, and the previous withdrawal was also because the patriarch was unwilling, in fact, the previous family was very good, and it was a protΓ©gΓ© of King An,"
Qin Yenan couldn't listen to it anymore when he heard this.
It turned out that all this was planned by Gu Chengyuan a long time ago, and using the Wei clan to restrain Wei Yanran was really good.
