Have You Written Your Will Today?-Chapter 491 - 485: Since You Can Throw Away Your Dignity, Why Should I Spare My Words?
Ji Huo believed it.
After all, he truly was charismatic. It was an undeniable fact! As much as it troubled him, at this moment, he was more disgusted by the offense and immediately scowled.
"Wei Han, control your people! I, the Princely Heir, am not someone anyone can covet!"
In the past, Wei Han did not dare to offend those from Prince Gong Mansion, and now, he still dares not.
Although Mrs. Wang was only a concubine, she had followed him for many years. Now that his dignity had been compromised, he absolutely could not accept it. Not to mention such a framing!
He glanced at Wei Yingying, hoping she would step forward.
However, Wei Yingying was peeling a melon seed, her eyes lowered, not intervening, seemingly indifferent to his humiliation.
She wasn’t fast. The little girl tiptoed, her soft little hands resting on her knee, and when a whole piece of pulp was peeled, she bit into it.
Wei Yingying hesitated for a moment as she thought of feeding Shen Hua.
"I have not," Mrs. Wang hurriedly explained.
But Ji Huo did not believe it: "Withdraw that bit of thought, all my concubines are young and beautiful."
"Ji Huo! How can you insult a concubine like this!"
Before Wei Han could speak, Wei Zhao couldn’t hold back any longer.
"Show some respect!"
This sentence brought the temperature around them down completely. Wei Zhuzhu’s expression grew solemn, and she stepped back slightly.
This brother of hers was spoiled, previously acting wilfully in the mansion, disrespectful to his mother and not close to Wei Yingying, all because he was the legitimate son who would inherit the family business in the future.
But now, the Wei Family was no longer the same as before.
And now, he was actually shouting at Ji Huo!
Such an intolerable person.
Shen Hua looked at Ji Huo: "Fortunately, you are not interested in Mrs. Wang, otherwise there would be such a disrespectful son."
Ji Huo: Ugh.
He observed the stars at night and he observed wrongly.
He shouldn’t have come here.
Wei Yingying sneered.
"People should be self-aware. A mere concubine, thinking she comes from a prestigious background? In the past, she was just a street singer. It was out of Mama’s mercy, having drunk her tea for concubines, that she has lived these years without worries about food and clothing."
Only to have her appetite grow.
"Thus, would you expect the Heir of Prince Gong to respect her? Today I’m making this clear, if the concubine is at fault, she should be strictly punished. Even if not at fault, causing displeasure to the Heir of Prince Gong is a grave mistake, what if she was beaten to death with clubs?"
Wei Zhao: "You!"
Shen Hua waited a long while, but the plate was still empty, all the melon seeds ended up in Cui Rong’s belly! Lazily, she used a ruler to gently push the person in front of herself.
"Little ghost, were those for you?"
Cui Rong’s mouth was bulging full, and soon, she had an orange in her hand.
Shen Hua without leading on: "Where is that free food, hurry up, peel the orange."
Xie Yinong softly said, "Let me help."
Shen Hua stopped her.
"Although she’s a six year old girl, she should understand the principle that when you take the benefits, you need to do the work. The little princess might be a bit naughty, but knows right from wrong, unlike this Mr. Wei in front of us."
Shen Hua took a sip of tea, her tone cool: "Having gained the status of a legitimate son, belonging under the mother’s name, the difference between legitimate and illegitimate is like night and day, he has good fate, granted both respect and honor, yet he forgets his roots, clearly an ungrateful wolf."
"What place do you have to speak in the Wei family’s matters?"
"If you can easily throw your face, why should I begrudge my mouth?"
"Wei Zhao, previously Lady tolerated you, it was only because she thought, you might still preserve a sliver of conscience. When she marries off, you, this stepson, could at least show filial piety to Lady Wei and care for her in her old age."
Clearly, Wei Yingying was wrong.
How could a person like Wei Zhao understand gratitude? He would only naturally continue to demand more.
Wei Han’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed, witnessing this farce, it wouldn’t be too much to say it was heartbreaking. He wanted to say something, but in the end, didn’t voice it out.
Just at this moment, Eunuch Xu hurried over.
He approached respectfully to greet, with a sycophantic smile: "The Imperial Kitchen has made Steamed Crispy Cake, soft and silky, melting immediately upon entering the mouth, the official specifically commanded me to deliver it to the Lady."
As he spoke, a palace maid behind him opened the food box and took out a celadon bowl with sparse glaze and an eight-petalled floral rim.
The Steamed Crispy Cake was creamy in texture, topped with crushed almonds, raisins, hawthorn and walnuts.
There were four portions in total, excluding Ji Huo; Cui Rong, who had arrived early, also received one.
It is evident that Ji Teng is currently in the Imperial Palace, yet he grasps the dynamics here as if they were in the palm of his hand.
Eunuch Xu is not here merely to deliver pastries; obviously, he is here to support Wei Yingying.
Ji Huo: !!!
Ultimately, he is unworthy.
Shen Hua was in no rush to eat, casually supporting her chin, sure enough, as soon as Eunuch Xu turned around, his expression changed.
"Mr. Wei!"
Wei Han shuddered.
"Forgive this old servant’s ignorance, I have never seen anyone able to apologize standing."
Wei Han hurriedly knelt down with a thud.
The three people behind him, each more shocked than the last, knelt down repeatedly.
Yet Eunuch Xu was still unsatisfied, he stepped forward a few paces, coming up to Wei Zhuzhu.
"Lift up your head."
Wei Zhuzhu hurriedly complied.
Eunuch Xu glared at her for a few moments, then sneered softly.
He represents Ji Teng, even as a eunuch he is enough to make Wei Han wary.
"Our Lady is as the mother of a nation, she should not bear even the slightest blemish, wouldn’t you agree, sir?"
Though posed as a question, it was full of threats.
Wei Han, stifling his frustration, replied: "Yes."
"Is the position of Wei family’s legitimate daughter something anyone can assume?"
Wei Zhuzhu felt a chill throughout her body.
Eunuch Xu however, shifted his gaze away from her.
"Could it be that any daughter of the Wei family, not born of Madam, must parade around the market flaunting herself as the legitimate sister of the Lady? If Mr. Wei does not understand the rules of legitimate and illegitimate, should I ask Imperial Censor Shu to come and teach you?"
"How does this Miss Wei Liu deserve to be on equal terms with our Lady?"
With just a few words, Wei Han was deeply mired in trouble.
This was a warning.
Back when he married Wei Yingying to Ji Teng, he looked down upon Ji Teng and hence promoted Wei Zhuzhu.
Now with Wei Zhuzhu holding this status, isn’t it a constant reminder to the officials of his attitude back then?
Wei Han trembled all over.
"Yes, it was a lack of thought on the part of this subordinate, I will have her..."
Wei Zhuzhu bit her lip tightly.
Was she about to lose all that she had hardly gained?
"Daddy! Did sister do something wrong?" Wei Zhao spoke out against the injustice.
Mrs. Wang tried to cover his mouth.
The intention of the official is unstoppable! Afterwards, if Zhuzhu is well-behaved, the master himself will feel guilty and make amends with benefits.
Wei Zhao speaking out now might not be good.
Sure enough, Eunuch Xu cast his gaze that way and coldly questioned.
"Is Mr. Wei dissatisfied with this servant, or with the official party?"
"You disrespect your legitimate mother, disregard your siblings and repeatedly provoke the Lady. Today you come to confess, yet you wear a cold face. What, is it difficult for you? Or are you forced?"
"Mr. Wei, I will say this once for your ears only."
"Whomever you appoint as your legitimate successor to inherit the family business, this old servant does not care, but such an immoral junior, I fear, might soil the eyes of the Lady. You have been the Minister of Ministry of Industry for many years. If you no longer want the position, there are plenty of competent people to take over. The official party is never lacking in capable individuals."
