The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1350: Kindness is as heavy as a mountain
Chapter 1350: The favor is as heavy as a mountain
Wang Liu was confused and was thinking about eavesdropping to see what Bai Qingyan was going to say to the old man. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw her husband retreat and almost kneel down: “Husband?”
If Wei Zhong had not said those words to Wang Dingkun just now, he would not be so anxious. But it was obvious that His Majesty wanted Eunuch Wei to talk to the old lady in private about replacing the heir for adoption. How could he not be afraid?
Wang Dingkun looked at Wang Liu with a fierce look, and just wanted to slap her in the face.
Nanny Qin glanced at Wei Zhong. Although she had little contact with Wei Zhong, she knew that Wei Zhong was a man of measure. He would never make Old Lady Wang angry at this time and ruin the relationship between Bai Qingyan and the Fourth Madam. So she said to the Fourth Madam, “Fourth Madam, why don’t we go out and wait first? The eldest lady has something to say to the old lady.”
Wang also guessed that Bai Qingyan asked Wei Zhong to come here to convey a message, and he was definitely going to take action against this adopted illegitimate son, but… Wang was worried that her mother’s body could not bear it, so she pursed her lips.
It was Nanny Guan who stepped forward and whispered to Wang: “Fourth Madam, you have to trust the eldest girl!”
Wang tightly grasped the handkerchief she had just used to wipe her mother’s mouth. Seeing her mother nod to her, she stood up and said to Wei Zhong, “Tell mother slowly if you have anything to say. She just woke up…”
“Don’t worry, Madam Fourth. His Majesty has specifically instructed us to do so.” Wei Zhong turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation to Wang.
Wang Dingkun’s face was pale. He looked back every few steps as he followed Wang out of the upper room. As soon as he entered the side room, Wang Dingkun knelt down in front of the fourth wife Wang: “Eldest sister, please save me! I have always been filial! Moreover, I have been raised by mother for so many years, and I have long regarded her as my own biological mother. I cannot leave her…”
Wei Zhong vaguely heard Wang Dingkun’s voice begging for mercy coming from the side room. Wei Zhong then slowly told Old Madam Wang what Bai Qingyan had told him to do.
Old Lady Wang clutched the quilt beneath her tightly, her expression even uglier than before.
“Old Madam…” Wei Zhong said in a gentle voice, “I used to serve the Grand Princess and had the honor of meeting Old Master Wang. Old Madam and Old Master Wang were deeply in love. I know…the reason why Old Master Wang finally compromised and agreed to adopt the bastard’s son was actually because he was worried that you would be alone in your old age.”
When Old Lady Wang heard this, her eyes suddenly turned red and she closed her eyes. She knew it, and it was precisely because she knew it… that she could not let down the Wang family and her husband.
“But Wang Dingkun thought he had you in his hands, and used this to threaten the Fourth Madam frequently. The Fourth Madam has a soft personality, and she has yielded countless times for the old lady. The old lady… our first lady and eldest daughter feel distressed when they see this. The Fourth Madam is your biological daughter, the only blood of you and old master Wang. I believe that you feel more distressed than our first lady and eldest daughter.” Wei Zhong spoke softly, and slowly reasoned with old lady Wang, “Our eldest daughter was so angry that she said that if this couple set their sights on our Seventh Young Master again, it might hurt the Wang family!”
“The Fourth Madam is your daughter, Old Madam Wang. It is her duty to be filial to you. Although our eldest daughter loves her aunt, she cannot interfere. But you must understand… the Seventh Young Master is our Bai family’s Seventh Young Master. There is no reason for him to be controlled by the Wang family.” Wei Zhong’s words were both soft and hard. Old Madam Wang was not an unreasonable person, so she naturally understood.
“The eldest lady has ascended the throne, and the seventh son has been named King Zhong! If she is still manipulated, it will become a joke if it gets out…” Wei Zhong looked at the clear eyes of the old lady Wang, and then continued, “So, if you choose someone from the Wang family who is kind-hearted, remembers the kindness, and is filial to you, it will not only make the old man Wang wise, but also make the fourth lady feel at ease. More importantly, the eldest lady will definitely give the Wang family a bright future for the sake of the fourth lady and the seventh son. This can also take into account the old lady’s desire to protect the glory of the Wang family. It will kill three birds with one stone. What do you think?”
Old Lady Wang raised her eyes and looked towards Wei Zhong: “I am sorry that Your Majesty has been troubled by the Wang family’s affairs!”
This means that it has been agreed. Wei Zhong smiled and said, “It’s good enough if you agree… I’m just afraid that the old lady won’t be able to understand it for a while.”
Wei Zhong smiled and said, “What are you saying, old lady? You are the grandmother of the Seventh Young Master. To our eldest daughter, you are like her own grandmother. His Majesty also hopes that you can have a comfortable old age.”
Old Lady Wang nodded…
If Old Lady Wang knew that the black-hearted couple threatened her daughter, she wanted to maintain the prosperity of the Wang family in order to paint a peaceful facade to the outside world. Now that she heard her beloved granddaughter say such words, she thought of the grievances her daughter had suffered for her, and thought of the words that Bai Qingyan asked Wei Zhong to bring…
If the Wang family still keeps this couple, I’m afraid they will no longer have any glory. Instead, they will follow that rotten-hearted couple and be trampled into the mud.
With the words that Bai Qingyan asked Wei Zhong to bring, Old Lady Wang felt that the decision was not that difficult to make. After all, she and her daughter had the emperor’s support behind them. Even if they wanted to change an heir, no one in the Wang clan would dare to say anything.
After Wang Lao Madam figured it out, she was filled with gratitude. She wanted to get out of bed to pay her respects, but was stopped by Wei Zhong: “No, Lao Madam! No!”
Seeing Wei Zhong’s insistence, Old Lady Wang did not insist and just said, “Eunuch Wei, please thank His Majesty for his concern on my behalf!”
“Since the old lady can think clearly, that’s the best. The old lady must take good care of herself. When King Zhong comes back to choose a princess, the old lady will have to check it out!” Wei Zhong smiled and said, “The old lady is in the inner house all day long. I don’t think she can find any suitable candidates in the Wang family. If the old lady is trustworthy, His Majesty will find someone trustworthy to look for the old lady. I think the people in the clan will not disagree.”
“Your Majesty has thought it through!” Old Lady Wang responded quickly.
Seeing that Old Lady Wang had already agreed, Wei Zhong did not play the sympathy card anymore. He changed the way he addressed Bai Qingyan and continued, “Your Majesty means that the guards brought by the Fourth Madam this time will stay with the Old Lady to prevent the couple from having any other thoughts. Nanny Guan and the Fourth Madam will also stay in the palace to take care of the Old Lady. After this matter is settled, these guards will be recalled. I wonder if Old Lady Wang thinks this is convenient?”
“Your Majesty is in charge of everything. I am deeply grateful!” Old Lady Wang did not expect Bai Qingyan to even consider this, and she was even more grateful. “Your Majesty has been very kind to me. When I get better, I will definitely go to the palace to thank you!”
