Chapter 47: The Third Way
Wei Jin'er was frightened when she fell into the water, she thought she could escape her father's scolding today, but she didn't expect it to be the middle of the night, and she was still called over.
Her face was pale, she lost her usual bright self-confidence, and approached Wei Shicheng's study in the dim light under the porch, and her footsteps paused at the door and hesitated slightly.
For her father, Wei Jin'er still has a trace of fear.
There was a low cough from inside, Wei Jin'er was startled, bit her lip and pushed open the door of the study and walked in.
"Jin'er has seen her father."
Wei Shicheng didn't speak, his eyes looked at the dazzling light of the lamp and candle on the side, closed his eyes, and kept tapping his fingers on the desk.
Wei Jin'er was already beating a drum in her heart, and the percussion of this sound made her feel even more uneasy, and she fell to her knees as soon as her legs were weak, "Father, my daughter knows ...... wrong."
Hearing the sound, Wei Shicheng opened his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him, his eyes full of anger.
"You ate the bear's heart and leopard gall."
A low statement made Wei Jin'er tremble!
She didn't dare to look directly at Wei Shicheng's gaze, and her voice trembled a little: "Father, my daughter really knows that she is wrong!" ”
Wei Shicheng stood up and looked at the top of Wei Jin'er's head, the coldness in his eyes almost overflowing.
"Your mother wants to find a good family for you, and as your father, she naturally hopes that you can have a good home, but you are so disappointed in me."
Wei Jin'er didn't dare to look at Wei Shicheng's eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Jin'er never thought that things would become like this!" ”
"Never thought about it?"
The coldness in Wei Shicheng's words was a little more.
"As the daughter of the Wei family, your words and deeds are related to the family, I have taught you to think twice before you act since you were a child, but you said that you never thought about it?"
"It's not! Father! It's not ......" Wei Jin'er knelt in front of Wei Shicheng, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were not only afraid, but also unwilling.
Wei Shicheng's face sank like water, and he watched the brain of this daughter who thought he was smart swelling.
"You know Li Qingyi's role in the Wei family, but you compete with an object, it's really stupid! Stupid! ”
Wei Jin'er's face was as white as paper!
She knows! She knows what her father said!
But she just couldn't control herself to be jealous of Li Qingyi, and she didn't want her to climb the high branches and rise above everyone!
Even if it's a chess piece, she doesn't want the other party to have that kind of scenery and dignity!
Wei Shicheng was furious, "Besides, even if you want to calculate others, why do you have to do it yourself and show your deeds?" ”
Wei Jin'er bit her lip, she admitted that she hadn't taken Li Qingyi in her eyes at all before.
She thinks that as long as she moves her fingers, Li Qingyi will inevitably be pinched to death by her.
However, reality slapped her hard.
"Father, you won't let Jin'er be your sister-in-law, will you?"
Wei Shicheng looked at her with heavy eyes: "You can't marry the fourth prince." ”
Wei Jin'er was struck by lightning and couldn't speak, "Father...... How can you bear it? I am the eldest daughter of the Wei family, and I am your first child! You've always loved your daughter, haven't you? ”
Wei Shicheng had never been so tired of Wei Jin'er at any point, he almost didn't want to admit that the stupid and arrogant person in front of him was his daughter! Even the county lord of Yuanheng, who played a good hand of cards, had never done such a stupid thing!
He held back his anger and said, "In addition to dying of illness and becoming a sister-in-law, you have a third way. ”
Wei Jin'er was stunned, "The third way? ”
She looked surprised and said without hesitation: "I'll choose the third one!" Choose the third! ”
Wei Shicheng didn't want to look at Wei Jin'er again, turned his head to the door and said, "Someone." ”
The four mothers-in-law came in response, stood under the shadow of the lamp with their heads down, and said respectfully: "Master." ”
Wei Jin'er looked at them suspiciously.
The mother-in-law carried a wooden pass and a large pot of boiling water in her hand, the water touched the wall of the pot and made a clanging sound, and the curling heat came out of the mouth of the pot, and the dreamlike mist looked ominous under the shadow of the longing lamp.
Wei Jin'er had a bad premonition in her heart.
Wei Shicheng turned his back and said in a deep voice: "Let's do it." ”
"Father, what is this going to do?"
Wei Shicheng didn't look back, "Since you don't want to die, and you don't want to go to the nunnery to be a sister-in-law, for the sake of today, there is only one way to get rid of this marriage." ”
"What...... What can ......?"
Wei Shicheng didn't answer, the mother-in-law stepped forward, the two clamped Wei Jin'er's upper body, and one lifted Wei Jin'er's skirt, rolled up the left trouser leg, and put her foot into the wooden pass.
Wei Jin'er gasped and vaguely guessed something.
"Father! Why?! I don't want it! ”
"I'm sorry for you!"
Wei Shicheng said in a stiff tone, "If you have a defect in your body, you naturally can't become the fourth princess anymore." Don't worry, even if there are some scars on her body, my eldest daughter of Wei Shicheng will still marry beautifully! ”
Wei Jin'er's scalp instantly rose up, and she swallowed saliva in horror, "Father! Stop it! Stop them! ”
And yet the next moment!
"Ahh
A sharp and piercing scream came from Wei Jin'er's mouth, and it looked particularly creepy in the dark night!
The boiling water poured on her feet, and in an instant they burned red, and after a brief numbness, a violent, burning pain came from her feet!
"Let go of me! I don't care about you! Get out of here! ”
Wei Jin'er almost fainted, the big drops of sweat on her forehead fell, she struggled violently, but the mother-in-law behind her did not relax the strength of her hand at all, and firmly restrained her!
The severity of the scalding is that the more time passes, the more unbearable it becomes, and Wei Jin'er's screams gradually turn into a miserable howl!
With a "bang", the county lord of Yuanheng pushed open the door of the study and broke in!
"Jin'er!"
The mother-in-law let go of her hand, and Wei Jin'er curled up on the ground in pain, holding her left leg with a pale face, her eyes full of disbelief and hatred that could not be ignored.
The county lord of Yuanheng trembled, and hurriedly stepped forward to block Wei Jin'er's gaze, not daring to let Wei Shicheng see it.
"Jin'er! You...... How are you? ”
Wei Jin'er burst into tears when she saw her mother, "Mother! Mother! Save me! Help me! ”
The county lord of Yuanheng was heartache and remorse, if she could have discovered Jin'er's intentions earlier and didn't let her calculate Li Qingyi, there would be no today!
"Jin'er...... My mother has already found you a doctor to relieve the pain......"
"Got a doctor?"
Wei Jin'er was stunned when she heard this, and then she understood, "Mother? You already know that, don't you? You already knew my father was going to burn me! ”
The county lord of Yuanheng was full of regret, she did know it a long time ago, and she regretted the moment her daughter exhaled in pain, but it was too late.
"Jin'er, this is the only way......"
Wei Jin'er slowly shook her head, not believing that her father and mother had used such means to solve this matter......
"You ...... How can you be so ruthless! ”
