First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 405 Returning in disgrace

Even though he knew that the people outside were there to cause trouble, Wei Ling still stood up after hearing what Su Jixiang said.

"Sleep a little longer. You've been exhausted from the journey." Wei Ling pushed Su Jixiang back to bed and said, "I'll be out soon."

"Forget it. They are clearly here to cause trouble." Su Jixiang patted his hands and said, "If I don't go out, they will have another excuse."

"What do I have to be afraid of? Excuses are just excuses!" Wei Ling said, feeling sorry for Su Jixiang.

"Okay, you and I are one, and we should face problems together." Su Jixiang comforted Wei Ling.

Wei Ling was still persuaded by Su Jixiang's words and couldn't help laughing, "You always know what to say to make me compromise with you." He looked at Su Jixiang lovingly and said helplessly, "Then let's go together. Just don't be so hasty, just follow our pace step by step. If he wants to make a noise outside, let him make a noise for a while, there is a door anyway. He won't be embarrassed to rush in if he has any shame."

"That's right!" Su Jixiang nodded.

Even if they are elders, they take over the property of their younger generations when the younger generations are too busy to take care of their own affairs. It seems that such elders are not worthy of respect.

Wei Ling and Su Jixiang put on their clothes slowly and called Lushui and Guihua to help them wash up. Only then did Wei Ling open the door to the courtyard.

Wei Chengwu had been knocking on the door for a long time outside, but now he had lost his previous energy.

After all, he is old, and he has suffered a lot in the north. His health is not so good now, and he is not as energetic as young people.

Seeing Wei Ling and Su Jixiang appear in front of him, Wei Chengwu immediately stood up again, "Finally willing to come out?" He paused on the cane in his hand and snorted, "Great Marquis Wei is so generous!"

"Uncle, since you know that I am the marquis, why don't you show courtesy to me when you see me?" Wei Ling no longer gave Wei Chengwu any face, and asked in a soft voice, holding his shoulders.

Wei Chengwu obviously didn't expect that Wei Ling had changed so much now!

In the past, Wei Ling was humble and polite, knew when to advance and when to retreat, and attached great importance to filial piety and etiquette. Even when the Duke's Mansion was at its peak, when the elders from the side branches came to visit him, Wei Ling did not have the slightest airs as a prince of the Duke's Mansion, but greeted them with great humility and courtesy, never making any mistakes in this regard, and never behaved arrogantly in front of them.

When these people left, Wei Ling would see them off one by one, being extremely respectful and filial.

In a trance, the gentle young man in the Duke's Mansion that year seemed to have disappeared. Wei Chengwu frowned and looked at Wei Ling in front of him.

Tall and handsome, he was exactly what the famous young man in the capital should look like when he grew up. However, the gentleness between his eyes and brows was gone, and only coldness and a hint of murderous intent remained.

Wei Chengwu's heart skipped a beat for no reason.

After hesitating for a moment, he clasped his hands together and said, "Greetings, Marquis Zhenbei!"

Wei Ling is not only his great-nephew, but also the Marquis of Zhenbei who earned his title through military merit!

He could flatter His Majesty and occupy the Duke's Mansion that was returned to the Wei family, but he had to bow when he saw Wei Ling. After all, he was just a commoner now.

Wei Ling's eyes showed a bit of sneer, "Excuse me. Uncle, you came here to make a scene to help Ruan Shi? I want to ask you, uncle, which woman would break into others' sleeping place and shout so loudly in the early morning, and she is so presumptuous in front of my door!"

Wei Chengwu originally had a lot of words to say to scold Wei Ling, but after hearing what Wei Ling said, he immediately forgot all about it.

Yes, now that Wei Ling has a title, they are just common people and they absolutely cannot be so presumptuous!

Seeing that Wei Chengwu was stunned by what he said, Wei Ling continued, "I only drove her away. I was showing her special favor for my uncle's sake. Otherwise, even if she was killed, I only needed to say that she was an assassin who came to kill me, and the matter would be over! What do you think, uncle?"

Wei Chengwu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on his back.

He had always thought that Wei Ling, the legitimate bloodline, occupied the best position and inherited the title of the Wei family. When they were prosperous, he did not let the side branches of the family get any benefits. But when they were in trouble, they would be implicated, some died, some fell ill. After a few years, there were almost no people left in the huge Wei family except him and Wei Ling.

So when he occupied this house, he felt at ease, because it was owed to him by the legitimate lineage!

This is what the Wei family owes him!

This house was returned to the Wei family, so even if he occupied it, he would be right wherever he went!

But now he seemed a little shocked that Wei Ling would not reason with him.

The reason why he can still stand here and confront Wei Ling is really just because there is a word "Wei" in his surname.

Today, Wei Ling is an important official of the imperial court who commands a large number of troops to guard a region! He is the Marquis of Zhenbei, who was personally appointed by His Majesty!

If he was really angry, crushing me to death would be as easy as crushing an ant!

When Su Jixiang saw that Wei Chengwu's face was gradually turning pale and his lips were tightly pursed, he knew that Wei Ling's words had frightened Wei Chengwu.

After all, this is Wei Ling's great uncle. If he really gets angry and causes something bad to happen, Wei Ling will definitely feel guilty.

Su Jixiang stepped forward and said, "I, your niece's wife, greet you and wish you good morning, uncle." She smiled and said, "Uncle, you came so early, have you already had breakfast? Why don't you come in first and let your niece's wife serve you a cup of tea, and then try the specialties we brought back from the north."

Wei Chengwu felt relieved.

Su Jixiang helped him out.

If he remains stubborn and refuses to adapt, he will suffer a lot.

"Uh. You guys use it first!" Wei Chengwu forced a dry smile, "I'll go back first." He wanted to turn around, but thinking that he was here to help the Ruan family, it would be a bit unreasonable to just go back like this. So he immediately stopped himself and looked at Su Jixiang, "Since you call me uncle, come to Fenghuaju to pay your respects later!"

After saying this, Wei Chengwu felt relieved. He turned around quickly and left with his entourage.

After the people walked away, Wei Ling snorted, "That's all he can do! I didn't think he was that tough!"

Su Jixiang couldn't stop laughing, "Okay, okay, after all, it's all about your great uncle. You really can piss him off to death!" Su Jixiang said, holding Wei Ling's arm.
