Have You Written Your Will Today?-Chapter 486 - 480: I Have Never Seen Such a Shameless Request

Chapter 486: Chapter 480: I Have Never Seen Such a Shameless Request

His face was grim as he settled into the side room.

Even though... Xie Xun was not very welcoming towards him.

He was deep in thought and had many ideas, holding a chess piece while discussing everything from the historical records of the former dynasty to the Six Arts. From the Six Arts, he shifted the conversation to Cui Yun. His mind was entirely elsewhere.

Xie Xun sipped his tea and captured his chess piece.

The game was clearly lost, yet Ji Teng did not seem to care in the slightest, and he spoke again.

"You are not yet married, so you can’t understand the benefits of having a family."

Xie Xun: "..."

The two were friends bonded by life and death. It was he who had pulled Ji Teng out of misery. Seeing Ji Teng not taking it to heart, he couldn’t help but advise, "If you find someone you like in the future, in my experience, you should make your move early."

Xie Xun: "..."

You still don’t know, do you? Wei Yingying wishes nothing more than for you to disappear, right? It turns out all eight hundred wits in love are solely vested in Cui Yun.

Xie Xun had no intention of hinting at anything. He even nodded with refined politeness.

Minister of Industry Mansion.

Wei Han had been frightened, so he stayed in his study until nightfall. He thought hard but still could not comprehend Ji Teng’s intentions.

Just then, Mrs. Wang came with a meal, bowing deeply to him, her eyes captivating as autumn waters.

"Master."

Her call was even more enchanting and alluring.

Despite having two children, Mrs. Wang did not look old at all. Even more, her heart and eyes were always filled with him.

"Knowing you had not eaten, I personally went to the kitchen to cook a few dishes that I’ve recently learned. Skipping meals is not good; your body cannot withstand it. And the children are also worried about you."

Wei Han sighed.

Mrs. Wang had followed him for many years, even more considerate than his official wife who was formally married to him.

Not true, before Yingying got married, Lady Wei was also this virtuous, taking meticulous care of his clothing, food, housing, and transportation.

Mrs. Wang passed him the chopsticks, her tone tender like water, "Yesterday, I asked you to seek the Lady’s help for Zhu Zhu’s matter, did she agree?"

Hearing this, Wei Han’s face darkened.

"There’s no need to bring this up again."

Mrs. Wang saw his expression and felt dissatisfied. She wiped her tears: "In the past, whatever the Lady had, Zhu Zhu had none. I have never disagreed with this, only feeling pity for the child. She was born to me, yet from a young age she was knowledgeable and extremely respectful to you, Master. Yet the Lady constantly makes things difficult for her, frequently reprimanding her in public, and Madam does not stand up for her. But now that she is under Madam’s name, she is officially the legitimate daughter."

Wei Han had no patience for this talk. What difference did it make whether she was a legitimate daughter or a concubine daughter? What he cared about were only those who were promising.

"Enough, her marriage will be handled by Madam."

Before the New Emperor took the throne, Wei Han valued Wei Zhuzhu, thus, there were quite a few noble sons interested in seeking her hand. But now, everyone knows that Wei Yingying disfavors her, and those sons from good families have all shunned her.

Madam nowadays is also not putting her heart into managing.

Mrs. Wang knew well, becoming a royal concubine in the palace was the best way out. Yet, Wei Yingying was not appreciative at all.

Truly foolish.

Wouldn’t the palace bring in new faces?

Once the official is tired of her, she would regret it, but by then it would be too late. Indeed, Wei Yingying and Ji Teng seem like a couple who shared hardships, but after all, it has only been a few months.

Men always seek novelty and grow tired of the old.

As she was deep in thought, Wei Han put down his cutlery. He wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and thought for a moment before ordering, "Please call Madam here."

Lady Wei arrived fifteen minutes later. As soon as she saw Mrs. Wang massaging Wei Han’s shoulders in the room, her expression turned sour.

Wei Han: "You will go to the palace tomorrow."

This brightened her expression.

"Ying has grown stubborn, rebellious by nature. She does not listen to me anymore, so go and talk to her. Don’t let her keep on nitpicking, causing the official to harshly reprimand me. What good does that do her?"

Upon hearing this, Lady Wei’s expression turned cold, even fierce.

"Did you go looking for Ying?"

Mrs. Wang spoke in a delicate voice, "Madam, why are you doing this? Master is also doing it for Lady..."

"Shut up!"

Lady Wei scolded, "Who allowed you, a fox, to speak here? Even if you have given birth to children, you come from a lowly background! If you don’t know the rules, I will teach you the rules!"

She stood up firmly.

Lady Wei stepped forward quickly: "Master, tell me, why did you go looking for Ying?"

Wei Han had a moment of lapse, but recovering, felt quite uncomfortable being questioned by his wife like this, but before he could speak, a light laugh was heard from outside the room.

"What else could it be? Naturally, carrying out a father’s duty, planning a splendid future for Zhu Zhu."

With those words, Shen Hua stepped inside. She even raised her hand and clapped dismissively.

"Acting like a sister worried about her brother-in-law, shamelessly wanting to become a favored concubine. Born of a concubine, yet her ambition is clear."

Mrs. Wang: "No... it’s not..."

Shen Hua: "Don’t be hasty in denying it, surely as concubine you’ve passed down such teachings; it’s long been said that the Wei Family lacks integrity, and indeed it is true."

Xie Yining, who was close behind her all the time, felt her heartbeat quicken by a beat at these words; she suppressed her fear and quickly glanced around.

The faces of all three turned dark.

Wei Han was furious, glaring at Shen Hua, clearly not taking her seriously: "Who allowed you—"

Before he could finish, Shen Hua slowly.

"By the official’s order."

"Does Mr. Wei have any objections?"

The eunuch following behind Shen Hua was indeed from Ji Teng’s side. After recognizing him, Wei Han felt a chill in his heart, uneasy.

"It seems you know fear now."

Lady Wei trembled with anger. She lunged forward, punching Wei Han squarely in the chest.

"Master! It’s not been long since Ying got married. Are you forcing her to have discord in her marriage?!"

Wei Han stole a glance at the silent Eunuch Xu, losing his previous aura: "What are you talking about? I’m only thinking of her well-being, let’s not make a joke in front of others."

"Thinking of her well-being? If you were really thinking of her well-being! You should have advised her to win the favor of the official, take advantage of the emptiness in the palace, and become pregnant early to give birth to a Prince!"

Mrs. Wang, behaving like a white lotus, stepped forward to join in the heat, trying to protect Wei Han with a brave face.

"Madam, if you want to hit someone, hit me!"

Lady Wei was livid.

Wei Han thought, Mrs. Wang is really clueless! Why stir up excitement at this time?

Meanwhile, Shen Hua burst out, her sighs constant: "What’s so difficult about that?"

The girl raised her voice, righteously: "I have never seen such a degrading request, but since you’ve mentioned it, Madam is kind-hearted, how could she not grant your wish?"

Mrs. Wang: ?? "No... "

The girl chided her with a glance, "No need to speak further, I understand. You can’t bear to see Madam hurt her hand fulfilling your wish."

Wei Han frowned.

But Eunuch Xu simply laughed, rolling up his sleeves: "A minor matter, I’ll handle it."

Wei Han dared not utter a word.

The girl took small steps along the wall toward the inside, then tiptoed, hands tucked in her pockets, her eyes curving like a cat’s.

Xie Yining saw and felt uneasy: "Miss Shen..."

"Shh."

"Is this... really going to be a beating?"

The girl sighed deeply: "Documenting a wonderful life."
