Chapter 41: The Wei Family

In the Wei Mansion, after listening to the report of the housekeeper Wei Chen, Wei Chilin was furious, and waved down the teacup on the table with one palm, "Nonsense, go and call Wenxiu to me." ”

Wei Chen immediately agreed and exited the study.

After a while, Wei Chen took Wei Wenxiu into the study, "Master, Miss is here." ”

Wei Chilin glared at Wei Wenxiu angrily and waved his hand at Wei Chen, who then bowed and exited the study, and gently closed the door.

When the housekeeper Wei Chen came to spread the word, Wei Wenxiu knew what Wei Chilin was looking for him, and he was already mentally prepared, but when he saw Wei Chilin's angry face and silent expression at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little timid in his heart, so he had to silently lower his head and wait for Wei Chilin to speak first.

Wei Chilin saw Wei Wenxiu lowering his head, pursing his lips, and not saying a word, his originally beautiful face was now obviously pale and haggard, thinking of what this proud daughter had experienced over the years, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart, and immediately dissipated most of his anger, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, and said seriously: "Wenxiu, Dad knows that you have been wronged in the past few years, and Dad also knows that you are unwilling, if you want to get rid of Ling Yuxin's thoughts, Dad naturally understands, hasn't Dad also been helping you?" But this matter is not in a hurry, since she has returned to the capital, then she can only make another plan, you have always been smart, more calm and sensible than your brother, you should also know, Dad has always been proud of you, Daddy's biggest regret in life is that it is a pity that you are a daughter, and although your brother is a man, he is brave and unscrupulous, so Dad has spoiled you since he was a child, carefully taught and cultivated you, and even handed over most of the affairs of the Wei family to you to take care of, a very important reason is also compared to your brother's heart and style, Dad has always been more at ease with you, but why did you do such a foolish thing this time," after a pause, he sighed, revealing a little disappointment that hated iron and steel, "You disappointed Dad too much." ”

Wei Wenxiu kept biting her lower lip, bowed her head and listened, and only slowly raised her head after Wei Chilin finished speaking, her eyes were faintly filled with tears, but her expression was obviously stubborn, and her tone was extremely firm, "Dad, my daughter knows that you love me, and my daughter has always been grateful for your trust, you have handed over a lot of things to your daughter to take care of over the years, and your daughter has been doing her best, in fact, I also want to share the worries of your old man and do my part for our Wei family, this time my daughter did not only for myself, but also for you, but also for our Wei family, The daughter didn't feel that she had done anything wrong, and she didn't understand why her father was so angry. ”

"Confused." Wei Chilin saw that Wei Wenxiu still thought that what he did was right, and he didn't realize how much trouble he had caused, so he couldn't help but get angry again, "You still don't know what you did wrong!" Don't you remember what your father told you when he gave you the order to mobilize the dead? ”

"Yes. Dad said that this is a group of dead soldiers specially trained by the second uncle to stay in the capital to be dispatched to my father, so that in case the Wei family may suffer major changes in the future, it can be used by my father to call for dispatch in time, so as to protect the life and death of my Wei family or save the lives of my Wei family. Wei Wenxiu repeated what Wei Chilin had said when he handed her the talisman that day.

"Since you remember, then you still called the dead soldiers without authorization today, and even let them make such a big disturbance in the capital, do you know what the consequences will be? Do you know how this will affect my father's power in the court? How much impact will it have on our Wei family? The more Wei Chilin spoke, the more excited he became, "How could you do such a foolish thing?" ”

"Dad, my daughter is not confused, my daughter called the dead soldiers today to follow the original intention of the second uncle to train the dead soldiers at that time, and also followed the instructions when you handed over the order to me, in order to protect the life and death of my Wei family." Wei Wenxiu is still confident.

"Ridiculous!" Wei Chilin saw that Wei Wenxiu still didn't know what was wrong, and became more and more angry.

"Dad, don't be in a hurry to get angry first, listen to your daughter's words," Wei Wenxiu saw that Wei Chilin was getting more and more angry, and hurriedly interrupted him to explain: "Think about it, in the past two years, how much power has the emperor cut you openly and secretly, how much power has been taken away from you, and how much power is left of our Wei family in the court now?" Since Ling Yuxin was punished to the Twilight Villa, my aunt's status in the harem is also getting worse, although the emperor still respects her as the queen mother and regards her as the queen mother, but this is all on the surface, in fact, my aunt has long been unable to be the master of the harem, my daughter knows your and aunt's original plans, you think about sending Ling Yuxin out of the capital first, if you can find a chance to get rid of her, even if you can't get rid of her, after a long time, the emperor will naturally slowly forget her, and then try to find an opportunity to send me to the palace, With your power in the court and your aunt's encouragement, exert influence on the emperor, so that the emperor has to set up my queen, once I sit firmly on the back seat, even if Ling Yuxin comes back, everything is already a foregone conclusion, even if the emperor regrets it, they can't help it, as long as I can please the emperor and control the harem, then the status of my Wei family will no longer have to worry about it, am I right? ”

Wei Chilin was silent, although he had never told Wei Wenxiu about their entire plan, he did not deliberately try to hide it from her, and with her intelligence, it did not surprise him that he could see their intentions and figure out the key.

Wei Wenxiu saw that Wei Chilin acquiesced, so he continued: "Dad, my daughter understands your good intentions, so all along, no matter what you ask your daughter to do, my daughter has tried her best to cooperate, but what is the result? In the past two years, under the arrangement of you and your aunt, how many times has your daughter entered the palace and how many times has she shown her face, in order to please the emperor, why hasn't her daughter tried her best, but what was the result? The emperor pushed or dragged it, every time he changed his ways, turned around and refused, and even almost pushed the boat to promise me to Zhou Shiyou's toad, not only did you fail to send me to the palace, but you also fulfilled several women who were not qualified to enter the palace in vain, and even my personal maid has now become the master of the harem, do you know how humiliating this is for your daughter? Not only did the emperor not let your plan succeed, but even borrowed his strength again and again, which not only made our Wei family lose face, but also directly led to the situation in the harem becoming more complicated, and the power of the court also changed. ”

"Alas......" Wei Chilin had to admit that what Wei Wenxiu said was indeed true, and couldn't help but sigh deeply, and said without self-blame and remorse: "Your aunt and I really misjudged him back then, and we both underestimated his city government, and underestimated his strategies and methods. ”

"More than that", Wei Wenxiu smiled a little desolately, "You also underestimated his feelings for Ling Yuxin, although in the past two years, driven by your and your aunt's various designs and the situation in the imperial harem, he had to accept several women into the palace one after another, and accepted them as concubines, but he kept the position of queen from beginning to end, and did not let any woman get involved in the half." Although the daughter has not entered the court, nor has she entered the harem, she also knows that it is not only our Wei family who covets this throne, not only my daughter and me, but in the past two years, no matter how the hundreds of officials in the court have pressurized, and how the concubines in the harem have fought openly and secretly, the emperor has always resisted the pressure from all parties and made the queen seat vacant, and this intention is well known. After a pause, his face showed confusion and unwillingness: "What my daughter doesn't understand is that Ling Yuxin gave the emperor what kind of drug did Ling Yuxin put on it, so that the emperor was so obsessed with making her the queen, I Wei Wenxiu asked myself if I didn't lose to her in terms of talent and appearance, but why didn't I get a little favor from the emperor, if the emperor just didn't like me originally, then now, after the unremitting efforts and arrangements of you and your aunt in the past two years, the emperor can now be said to hate and even dislike me, every time I see him, I could read the undisguised disgust in his eyes. Dad, you tell your daughter, what did I do wrong? How have I ever been humiliated? How did you swallow this breath? In the final analysis, all of this is because of Ling Yuxin's existence. ”

Wei Chilin also knew that what Wei Wenxiu said was true, looking at her with an extremely bleak smile, thinking of her proud heart and the grievances and unwillingness in her heart now, she suddenly felt a little distressed for this daughter, and even had a faint sense of guilt, so she couldn't bear it, and gradually eased her tone and said: "Wenxiu, Dad knows your grievances, and Dad also knows that you hate Ling Yuxin, but how can you call the dead man without authorization because of a momentary anger, Dad has always felt that Wenjie is impetuous and can't hold his breath, and he is impulsive and reckless in case of trouble, He often taught him to learn from you, his sister, but this time, you ...... Alas......" said and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "Do you know how much trouble you have caused, do you know how serious the consequences will be caused by your behavior to relieve your anger for a while, and how much our Wei family may pay for it?" ”

"Dad, you misunderstood, my daughter is not just to relieve her momentary anger, I did all this for you and for our Wei family." Wei Wenxiu's words were conclusive, "Think about it, the emperor has always made the queen's position vacant, isn't it just to wait for Ling Yuxin to make her the queen after she returns to Beijing!" In the past two years, the power of the Ling family and the Xiao family in the court has almost been able to compete with our Wei family, and now that Ling Yuxin has returned to the capital, I am afraid that he will be called into the palace by the emperor in the near future, once Ling Yuxin is established as the queen, it is impossible to maintain the current queen mother and concubines are in charge of part of the harem affairs. Turned into Ling Yuxin's hands, how my aunt treated Ling Yuxin in the past, you know best, you think about it, just based on what your aunt once did to Ling Yuxin, once Ling Yuxin takes power, what will be the situation and situation of my aunt in the harem in the future, isn't it conceivable? Wei Wenxiu paused, and looked at Wei Chilin with a look of grievance mixed with unwillingness.
