First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 407 The Wei Family's Past

Ruan was about to scream out because of the burn, but Su Jixiang screamed first, "Ouch my hand!"

Wei Ling's eyes narrowed, and he took two steps at a time and rushed directly to Su Jixiang and pulled him up.

"Let me see." He thought Su Jixiang was really scalded, and said anxiously.

Su Jixiang turned around and winked at Wei Ling slyly, and Wei Ling immediately understood what she meant.

Then he pulled Su Jixiang behind him and said, "Someone, send Madam back to apply medicine!"

Ruan, who was actually scalded by the tea, was crying out in pain. Her fingers were truly splashed with boiling water. Fortunately, the tea had cooled down a little since it was served, otherwise, if such a large cup of tea had been poured directly on her hand, she would have been burned to pieces on the spot.

Even so, her fingers were burned red and swollen, and her originally spring-like jade fingers became like small red carrots.

The old women around her surrounded her, at a loss, and she looked at Wei Chengwu pitifully.

Wei Chengwu's eyes darkened and he was about to question Su Jixiang, but he saw that Wei Ling had already asked someone to send Su Jixiang back.

"Why did my wife deliberately knock over the tea bowl when she was serving tea to this so-called elder?" Before Wei Chengwu could speak, Wei Ling had already taken the initiative.

Wei Chengwu was immediately stunned by these words.

When serving tea just now, the actions on both sides happened too fast, and he didn't see clearly what happened...

But after hearing what Wei Ling said, he looked at Ruan with some suspicion.

Ruan wanted to give Su Jixiang a warning, so after hearing what Wei Ling said, she lowered her head guiltily.

She didn't know how the tea bowl turned over. It seemed that Su Jixiang didn't hold it firmly, or it seemed that she overturned the tea bowl first. In short, everything happened really quickly, and she is still confused!

When Wei Chengwu saw Ruan's expression, he knew that Wei Ling was right.

"It was all an accident!" Wei Chengwu said quickly, "It was just a slip of the hand!"

"What a slip of the hand!" Wei Ling snorted coldly, "That's my wife, and the wife of the Marquis of Zhenbei appointed by His Majesty himself! Being disrespectful to her is not only disrespectful to me, but also disrespectful to His Majesty! I hope it was a slip of the hand! Otherwise, I will definitely get to the bottom of it! I don't want to see this kind of thing again!"

"Of course, of course." Wei Chengwu said quickly, and then he said to the maids surrounding Ruan with a cold face, "Hurry up and help Madam back to find someone to check her hand!"

Ruan's eyes were filled with tears. She looked at Wei Chengwu unwillingly. Wei Chengwu glared at her. She was dissatisfied in her heart but couldn't say it out loud. She could only grit her teeth and follow the old woman.

When she arrived at her room, Ruan was so angry that she kicked the door hard.

"When this old man asked me to marry him, he said it was very nice!" Ruan said. "He said that if I could marry him, at least I would have the final say in the family! What about now? I just wanted to rub off on that firewood-chopping maid, but he was scared to death!"

"Oh, girl, that Marquis Zhenbei looks really fierce, and he protects that palace maid very tightly. Let's not confront him head-on next time!" The old woman beside her advised.

"Marquis Zhenbei, Marquis Zhenbei, that palace maid who chopped firewood could marry so well, why do I have to marry this old man!" Thinking of this, Ruan became even angrier.

Seeing Wei Ling's domineering look in protecting his wife just now made her feel itchy in her heart. How great it would be if this was her husband.

Not to mention that he is the Marquis of Zhenbei, but with his appearance, physique, and demeanor, that old man can't compare to him in the slightest. They are all family, but the gap between them is too big!

"Hush, young lady, please don't say that!" The old woman had been with Ruan since she was a young lady. She quickly made a gesture to keep quiet, "lest someone hears and goes to the master to complain!"

"Madame Qin, I can't stand that old man anymore!" Ruan's eyes were red and swollen from crying. "That old man is not good in bed, so he tortures me in all kinds of ways! Is there something wrong with him?! Now I just want to rub him in, but not only does he not help me, he is rude to me in front of outsiders! I am still so young, do I really have to live with this old man? I can't live like this at all!"

Originally, for the sake of money, she could still grit her teeth and make do with this old man, but now seeing how handsome and mighty Wei Ling was, she really couldn't stand Wei Chengwu at all!

There are so many handsome and wealthy men in the capital, why should she hang herself on this crooked tree!

Besides, this old man also got his money from Wei Ling.

Nanny Qin quickly covered Ruan's mouth and said, "Young lady, shut up! No one can hear you."

Ruan then burst into tears and fell into Nanny Qin's arms.

Nanny Qin hugged Ruan and said distressedly, "Miss, please be patient. There is always a way!" There was a hint of ferocity in her eyes!

After Ruan left, the hall became unusually quiet.

Wei Ling sat upright on the chair, his fingers occasionally resting on the table beside him.

Wei Chengwu felt an inexplicable sense of oppression coming from Wei Ling while sitting on the armchair. Even though Wei Ling did not look up at him, Wei Chengwu felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"If you have nothing to do..." After a long time, Wei Chengwu finally couldn't help but speak. He originally wanted to send Wei Ling away.

Little did he know that as soon as he opened his mouth, Wei Ling looked at him and said, "I have something to do!"

Wei Chengwu was choked by Wei Ling and couldn't say anything else.

"What's the matter!" He was stunned and said slowly.

"Uncle should have guessed what I'm going to say." Wei Ling raised his hand and knocked on the table again, "This table is a decoration when my parents lived in Fenghuaju. There are words carved on the bottom with a knife when I was naughty when I was a child." After saying this, Wei Ling lifted the table and found words carved on the side with a knife. Turtle...

Wei Chengwu's face changed.

"What do you want to say?" He immediately lowered his voice.

"I want to say that every brick and tile, every blade of grass and every tree here are familiar to me." Wei Ling looked around, "This is where I grew up. How come I can't remember when my home became your home! You said that the Wei family owed you this, but when the Wei family was still the Duke of Dingguo, didn't you benefit from the benefits brought to you by the Wei family?"

Wei Chengwu frowned.

"You only passed the exam for a scholar at the beginning, and you failed the Jinshi exam many times. As you were getting older, you thought of taking a shortcut and came to the Duke's Mansion. I still remember clearly that you were wearing a patched blue cotton jacket, and you also brought two chickens. Am I right?" After Wei Ling finished speaking, he looked at Wei Chengwu.
