Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Fall of the Wang Family
Wang Shiyue didn't want to see Lin Zhijiao's smug appearance, so she went home early.
There was an older old man in front of the palace, pacing in front of the door looking very anxious, and when he saw Wang Shiyue coming back, he hurriedly greeted him.
"Second Miss, you can be regarded as back, the master told you to come back and go to his study."
"Daddy looking for me? What are you doing? Wang Shiyue didn't care, it was probably today's matter, at most, it was just a few words, and it was so serious.
"I don't know, someone came to the house today to find the master, said a few words and left. After that, the master was very angry, and broke the vase in the study, so that you should go to him when you returned. The butler wiped the sweat from his head, he had never seen the master so angry.
"Then I'll go back to the house and change my clothes." Wang Shiyue said and walked in the opposite direction to the study.
"Second Miss, the master said that you don't care about anything, just go to the study." The housekeeper hurriedly stopped Wang Shiyue, this product is not a joke, and I am afraid that the old man will be even more angry if he delays it any longer.
Wang Shiyue was a little nervous when she saw that the housekeeper was in such a hurry. Daddy has always been scared and scared, and the housekeeper also knows it, so there should be something wrong with being so anxious this time.
At this time, Wang Shiyue didn't think that she was in trouble during the day, and followed the housekeeper to the direction of the study.
"Master, the second lady is back." The butler cautiously knocked on the door of the study.
"Let her in." A voice tinged with anger came from the study.
The housekeeper didn't dare to make a sound, lowered his head and opened the door for Wang Shiyue, and took two steps back to let Wang Shiyue in.
Wang Shiyue felt that the atmosphere was a little serious, but on weekdays, her father and mother would not blame her for any trouble, this time she just said that a blind man who is not favored should not be scolded.
"Daddy, what did you tell me about?" Wang Shiyue walked slowly into the study.
"Rebel! Get on my knees! Seeing that Wang Shiyue didn't have any remorse, the royal father suddenly became angry.
"Daddy, what did you say? Let me get on my knees!? Wang Shiyue thought that the royal father was angry, and he had never let her kneel before.
"You! You don't know the mistake yet! Do you know how much trouble you've caused me today? Tomorrow, you hurry up to the Prime Minister's Mansion to apologize to Miss Lin in person! "After today's guards were tied up and thrown to the gate, he felt that something was not quite right, so he asked more, this question was good, they said that Wang Shiyue actually asked them to catch the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion at the poetry meeting of the prince.
The eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion! If you want to say which child the prime minister likes the most, it's not Lin Zhixian, it's Lin Zhiyu! This is the heart and soul of the prime minister and his wife, in order to make her comfortable, the prime minister insisted on choosing a husband for Lin Zhiyu under pressure from all sides.
She, an unfilial girl, actually asked someone to arrest the friend of the county lord of Wenzi in front of everyone, especially Lin Zhixian and the prince, at the poetry meeting of the prince!
The royal father was so angry that he fainted and almost fell. Wang Shiyue didn't notice it, and felt unconvinced, "Why should I apologize!" I haven't asked her to apologize yet! ”
"Why!? Why do you dare to ask? I... I ......" The royal father originally thought that his daughter, who had been spoiled for so many years, had caused a big disaster, and taught her a lesson to change her temperament, and he would solve the rest of the things.
It's a big deal to pull down this old face and admit his mistake and make amends to him, but he didn't expect Wang Shiyue to have no intention of repenting. The royal father was so angry that he picked up the teacup and threw it at Wang Shiyue.
"Click!"
The royal father still softened his heart when he threw the teacup, and he didn't hit Wang Shiyue, but the spilled tea wet the corners of his skirt and scared her.
"Daddy, you're crazy!" Wang Shiyue didn't expect that the royal father would actually hit her with a teacup, and suddenly her temper came up, and she shouted while crying.
"I'm crazy, I'm crazy! This family is about to be ruined by you! I'll be soft-hearted, you're my father! The royal father was so angry that he didn't choose to speak, and looked back and forth in the study and saw the feather duster that his subordinates had forgotten to take away when they were cleaning.
"I'll kill you unfilial girl!" The royal father was babbling while beating Wang Shiyue.
Outside the study, Mrs. Wang, who was attracted by the sound of smashing teacups, pushed open the door and protected Wang Shiyue despite the housekeeper's obstruction, "Master! What are you doing? ”
"What am I doing? Ask yourself about your good daughter! "The royal father has nowhere to start with a feather duster in his hand, at this time, Mrs. is still protecting Wang Shiyue, it seems that they are really used to her.
"Tell Mother, why did you mess with your father?" Mrs. Wang glared at the royal father while hugging Wang Shiyue and asked.
"I just went to catch Lin Zhiyu by the guards at the poetry meeting, and if I didn't catch it, my father would beat me!" Wang Shiyue said while crying in Mrs. Wang's arms.
"Isn't it just to catch Lin Zhiyu..... Lin Zhiyu? Forest? Lin Zhiyu! Mrs. Wang felt a little congested after reacting to who Lin Zhiyu was in her mouth. Is it Lin Zhiyu from the Prime Minister's Mansion? ”
"That's right! It's Prime Minister Lin's eldest daughter! That's not all, you know what she said at the poetry meeting of the prince? She said that the Lin family is not educated! said that the eldest lady is a blind person who is not favored! Ho ho!" The royal father covered his chest, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.
Mrs. Wang only thought that she was bullying some ordinary people as usual, but she didn't expect her daughter to be so bold that she dared to arrest Lin Zhiyu, and she was still at the poetry meeting of the prince, but this time she got through the big basket.
"That'...... Can you press the news down? Let's go and apologize. Mrs. Wang also knew the reason and gave her opinion softly.
"This kind of thing happened to the poetry meeting of the prince, do you think you can suppress it!? Apologize? Apologize to her to go! ”
Mrs. Wang hurriedly came to persuade Wang Shiyue, "Daughter, tomorrow my mother will take you to the Prime Minister's Mansion to apologize." You can't be petty anymore. ”
"I'm not going! Just don't go! Wang Shiyue felt that they didn't help her, obviously her parents usually helped her speak, why did she have to apologize to Lin Zhiyu this time?
"Smack!"
The royal father regretted it after reaching out to beat Wang Shiyue, he was so big that he didn't even beat it himself. But after thinking about it, she poked out such a big basket this time, and if she didn't teach her a lesson, wouldn't she be going to turn the other way up in the future?
Just been beaten by a feather duster, and now she has been slapped in the face, Wang Shiyue really feels incredible, "Dad, you hit me?" There's absolutely no way I'm going to apologize and ignore you again! ”
Wang Shiyue cried and wiped her tears as she rushed out of the door, and the housekeeper standing outside the door was at a loss, and she didn't know whether to go in to comfort the lord and his wife, or chase after him to comfort the young lady.
Mrs. Wang's face was full of heartache when she saw her baby daughter being beaten, "Master, how can you beat her?" Even if she made a big mistake, you can't do it? ”
"It's all this time, and you're still used to her? It's because you're usually too used to her, and you don't know what to do with such a big basket until now! The royal father shook the feather duster in his hand to the ground, panting.
"You're starting to blame me now? Didn't you spoil her before? Now that something has happened, you're starting to blame me? Originally, Mrs. Wang couldn't accept this kind of thing, but now that the royal father is still pushing the responsibility on her, Mrs. Wang began to sob.
"Okay, okay, don't cry, we can't escape either. I can't get used to her anymore, let's solve this matter first, I don't want any status and rights, and I will keep my daughter first. ”
Pity the hearts of parents in the world, the royal father has chased the rights all his life, and after the Yang family replaced his in-laws to become the imperial merchants, he had a premonition that it would be difficult for him to climb up.
Alas, so be it, and live a good life with your family in the future.
The royal father looked at the sobbing Mrs. Wang, and couldn't bear to reach out and take it, and Mrs. Wang lay in his arms and cried, and the two snuggled up to each other.
Wang Shiyue, who ran back to her room, didn't understand the good intentions of the royal father and queen mother, and only felt that they were buying a daughter for glory.
"Lin Zhiyu! Why do I have to apologize to you! I'm not going! ”
Wang Shiyue was so angry that she didn't like anything, and smashed the things in her room. Pieces of the teacup and teapot were scattered all over the floor, and even some of her jewelry was thrown to the floor.
"Woo woo, you don't help me! All towards others! Wang Shiyue didn't even change her clothes, she lay on the table and cried.
"Knock knock."
"Daughter, it's my mother, you come and open the door." Mrs. Wang cried for a while, and was comforted by the royal father and came to Wang Shiyue.
"Don't! You all help others! I'm not your daughter! Wang Shiyue heard Mrs. Wang knock on the door and didn't open it, sulking alone.
"Hurry up and open the door for my mother, when did we say that you beat you before? You're really in trouble this time. Mrs. Wang looked at the maids and servants around her, and waved them down.
When the maids and maids were gone, Mrs. Wang leaned on the door and said inside: "Your father is helpless, if you don't apologize, your father can't even keep his current position!" ”
"You... You lied to me! Daddy is so powerful, how can he not even keep his seat? Wang Shiyue was already a little shaken, they had never said such things to scare her before.
"Are we going to lie to you about this kind of thing? Open the door quickly, my mother will tell you. Mrs. Wang knocked on the door again, and Wang Shiyue saw that Mrs. Wang didn't seem to be lying, so she wiped her tears and went to open the door for her.
Mrs. Wang saw that the door had opened a small crack, and looked left and right to make sure that no one had entered. After Wang Shiyue opened the door for Mrs. Wang, she ran to lie on the table by herself, twisting her head to the side and not looking at Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang walked to the bed and sat down, patted the bed and said to Wang Shiyue, "Come here, let's have a good talk." ”
After speaking, Mrs. Wang began to talk to herself, "Alas, for so many years, your father and mother have not been ruthless to talk about you, and it is only today that you have developed such a bad temper." Your father is just a little squire, and we usually protect you so well. ”
Wang Shiyue has always been proud, and when she heard Mrs. Wang say this, she suddenly couldn't accept it. In her heart, her father is the most powerful, even if he is not the biggest official, he is also one of the best people in the imperial city.
"Really...... Really? ”
"We don't have to lie to you, your father will think about how to solve it today, and then see if anyone mentions it when he goes to court tomorrow. It's best if you can turn big things into small things, but if you can't...... Alas! ”
Mrs. Wang stopped continuing halfway through her words, which made Wang Shiyue feel even more anxious.
"But is this really that serious?"
Mrs. Wang looked at Wang Shiyue, who was not deeply involved in the world, and sighed: "The matter itself is indeed not that serious, but when it comes to some other things, it becomes very complicated. We didn't want to talk to you about this so that you could live in peace, but it's time to teach you this. ”
"Your father, the official, is not big, and it is not small. After marrying your father, if there is anything you need to do on your father's side, your mother's family will help, and your father can also ask your father to help if there is any trouble in the business. ”
