Chapter 28

"Grandma." Yuan Jin stood up. At this time, the expression on her face had become dull. Even though she was suddenly shocked, she did not expect that Old Mrs. Xue would make such a rude request so directly. But she also calmed down quickly.

"But this time the Duke's Mansion chose the prince, it was said that he was entering the marquis' mansion with his own sisters. I was busy choosing the prince for my younger brother. I was also busy for three months. If my grandmother asked me to give up the quota in this way, I would not agree. For other requests, grandmother would just mention it again."

Old Mrs. Xue said, "I have no other requests. You agreed to this in person. Could it be that you are going back on your word now? What's more, if it weren't for my relationship with the old lady, your brother wouldn't be elected as the prince. Even if it weren't for your request, it would be unfair to you, but it was reasonable. I wouldn't treat you badly. In the future, I will find a good marriage for you and marry as the legitimate daughter of the Xue family."

Yuan Jin sneered when he heard this, Old Mrs. Xue really made a good plan! She wanted to change her position as the daughter of Xue’s family as the daughter of the Duke of Ding and told her that it was reasonable!

Although she agreed to Mrs. Xue’s condition at the beginning, it also required reasonable conditions. She was abandoned like a piece of clothing, and she had to give all the results to her granddaughter.

It's really overrepresentative!

She looked up and continued, "Although there is a relationship between grandmother, during Wen Yu's election, grandmother, you are more concerned about the elder brother. The elder brother is the first in everything. The fourth house is a concubine. If it weren't for my hard work and my third aunt's selfless help, I'm afraid Wen Yu wouldn't have been able to hold on until today! I just want to ask my grandmother, what have you done in this and what can Sister Yuanzhen do? Now I want to ask this position for Yuanzhen. Do you think it's reasonable?"

Old Mrs. Xue's face was as quiet as a Bodhisattva. She looked at Xue Yuanjin.

In fact, Yuan Jin was much calmer than she thought. She originally thought that Xue Yuanjin would be even more angry. Sure enough, these two children in the fourth room were not ordinary people. No one would not be angry if they were taken away from their wealth and honor. She could still bear it!

"I am your grandmother, so I have the final say in this matter." Old Mrs. Xue said, "If it weren't for my consent, I'm afraid that the Duke Ding Mansion would not be able to accept Wen Yu as his stepson, right?"

This is the threat of nude.

After all, Old Lady Xue is the leader of the grandmother. Without Old Lady Xue's consent, Xue Wenyu really couldn't leave the Xue family and could not become a step-son.

Xue Yuanjin took a deep breath.

It seems that the old lady is determined! She knows that she will never let Wen Yu give up the position of prince, after all, she has been working hard for this for so long.

"You go back to bed first, it's too late today." said Old Mrs. Xue, "I hope you have agreed when you bring Wen Yu tomorrow."

Yuan Jin pursed her lips, and she didn't even say goodbye to her, and then she bent down and left.

On the way, she was thinking about how to solve it, but Mrs. Xue's move was unexpected and unexpected.

The big room is her blood relative, and Xue Yuanzhen is her most beloved granddaughter, so she will naturally consider Xue Yuanzhen. In addition, she is afraid that she and Xue Wenyu are not under her control. Even if she is the princess of the Duke of Dingguo Mansion, she will not treat her, or even treat her other relatives of her own sons.

Therefore, letting her give her the position to Xue Yuanzhen is a decision she will inevitably make.

And she has worked hard for so long but is facing a situation where everything is lost.

It would never be like this, she had to think carefully about what to do!

When Yuan Jin returned to the house, Xue Qingshan happened to come back from the yamen. He was still immersed in the joy of Wen Yu being selected, so he heard Yuan Jin say this.

Cui was furious: "This black-hearted old woman is determined to plan for her granddaughter! It's too much!"

Wen Yu's tone was cold: "If my sister doesn't go, I won't go either."

Yuan Jin gently pressed his shoulder and said, "Wen Yu should not act willfully. Even if I can't go in the end, you must go, otherwise you will have to go all your hard work in vain."

Xue Qingshan sat next to him and remained silent, his fists tightly clenched, and his face looked very ugly.

He suddenly walked out without saying a word.

Yuan Jin immediately stopped him: "Father, you are..."

"I'll talk." Xue Qingshan said, "For so many years, when our fourth wife has not been sorry for her, I have paid too much for the Xue family, so that you can't live a good life like the other three women. Now you have fought for such an opportunity by yourself, but she has to take it away out of thin air! I am your father, and I can never let you suffer such grievances again!"

After he said that, he walked straight out. Yuan Jin was stunned. He didn't expect that his father would have a day to stand out for her!

She was afraid that he would be too impulsive and immediately followed.

Cui had never seen Xue Qingshan get so angry. He had always been like a good old man at home. He would not object to anything his mother and brother said, but now he would be angry. She quickly told Cui Leng to take care of Jinyu and rushed over with Wenyu.

Old Mrs. Xue was about to go to bed when she heard the girl tell the story of the fourth master asking for a meeting.

Old Mrs. Xue knew why he came and didn't want to see him, so she said lightly: "Just say it's late and I won't see you."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the sound of the door being knocked open: "Son must ask to see you!"

She sighed and asked the woman to put on her coat and walk out. Xue Qingshan stood there, looking at her coldly, and said, "My son is not convinced about what happened today!"

Old Mrs. Xue sat down and closed her clothes. She felt very uncomfortable with her son who had always obediently, and she said, "You broke in late at night, and you didn't even have peace, but you were angry at me, the old woman. I don't know who is dissatisfied."

Xue Qingshan said indifferently: "If you were still the legitimate mother of the past, your son would be willing to kneel down to pay you a favor. But today's matter - you are trying to take away what Yuan Jin has obtained through hard work and give it to Yuan Zhen for free. I can't ask you for this comfort!"

When Old Mrs. Xue heard his tone of disobedience, she was also angry and suddenly raised her voice: "Just because I am your legitimate mother, I will support you to grow up so big. Can you still not listen to this command?"

Xue Qingshan became even more angry when he heard this. His past dissatisfaction was blocked in his heart and needed to vent. He couldn't help but sneer: "Promise? Apart from giving me some food to let me grow up, when did you offer me? My second brother clearly knew my article, but you didn't blame him! My elder brother asked me to handle common affairs for him, and he was very focused on studying. You told me that in the future, my elder brother would definitely have countless benefits for me in high school, and asked me to help my family with peace of mind! Now I am just a small official in Yuanma Temple, and my elder brother is an official outside. I would like to ask you, where did you start offering? Did my elder brother give me a grain of rice or a piece of cloth? When did you be grateful for what I did for this family? When did you care about it?"

"It's all. Now Yuan Jin has obtained this position based on his own ability. You have to take it away and give it to the eldest brother's daughter. I want to ask my mother that our fourth wife doesn't owe you anything. We have to give it to them any good things!"

Old Mrs. Xue was still calm, but when she heard that the fourth son was so rude, she was also trembling. "Your brother has never helped you. Isn't it that he helped you find the location of your Yuanma Temple?"

Xue Qingshan even sneered: "Seeking? Mother, he has sought a place to raise horses for me. Can I thank him even if I have a lot of gratitude? If this is the big brother's return, then I can't afford this reward!"

Yuan Jin was already shocked when he heard this outside. His father actually broke up with Mrs. Xue!

This resentment is accumulated in small amounts, and it is now a one-time explosion!

Cui looked inside and held Yuan Jin's hand nervously: "My God, your father is too brave today." She swallowed and spitted, "I'm afraid everyone will not sleep tonight!"

In the main hall, Old Mrs. Xue was so angry that she stood up: "You are disobedient and unfilial! This matter has been decided so much today. It would be useless if you say it again. Get off for me!"

Xue Qingshan looked at Old Lady Xue indifferently. He stood still and said, "I won't retreat."

"If you don't retreat, I will ask for family law!"

"You don't have to ask for family rules," said Xue Qingshan. "If you insist on this today, your son would have to be unfilial and ask for a separation."

"You!" Old Mrs. Xue really didn't expect that Xue Qingshan was so rebellious when she was so rebellious: "If you want to divide the family yourself, that would be unfilial! Do you think you would be out of my control after you split up and let Wen Yu and Yuan Jin enter the Duke's Mansion of Dingguo? Let me tell you, without me, the old woman, you can't even step into the Duke's Mansion of Dingguo!"

"So, I can only ask you to change your mind." Xue Qingshan said, "It is a great dissolution to split up, and my son naturally knows it. But if you want to force your son to go this path, I have no choice!"

If the parents are still alive and the son secretly asks to separate the family, it would be very unfilial. Since ancient times, this dynasty governs the world with filial piety. If he has a reputation of being very unfilial, it will be difficult to make any progress in the officialdom. Moreover, Xue Qingshan is really inconspicuous. If he really has a quarrel with the old lady, will the Dingguo Duke's Mansion have something to do with their family, and will eventually affect the two children's selection.

So, he just used this to threaten the old lady.

Old Mrs. Xue was so angry that she fell on the chair and gasped, but she still didn't see her. The fourth son was also a difficult bone to crack. She originally thought that she was cowardly in the fourth room, so she proposed that the fourth room should agree immediately.

If Xue Qingshan really wants to split up, she can only accuse him of filial piety, and she really can't do anything to him!

What's more, if the two of them continue to make a fuss, it will be a fateful ending. Xue Qingshan also knew this, so he threatened her instead.

The old lady was so moved that even the separation was said, so naturally the other rooms knew about it. Now they were all wearing clothes and surrounded the main hall. But the old lady did not allow anyone to go in.

Zhou was late, Cui glared at Zhou, but Zhou seemed to have not seen it.

Yuan Jin stood behind Cui, but couldn't even look at Xue Yuanzhen.

Until the old lady Xue's personal girl came out and passed the message: "... The old lady asked the fourth lady to come in and talk."

Cui became nervous, why did he just need Yuan Jin to go in? She looked at Yuan Jin, and Yuan Jin nodded comfortably and asked her to rest assured. Then she walked in.

The candles were pounding in the room, and Old Lady Xue and Xue Qingshan were both sitting on the chair, but it seemed that they had exhausted their strength. However, the strange silence between the two could still vaguely feel the dispute just now. Xue Yuanjin stood there, and the old lady sighed: "Your father told me just now, did you hear it?"

Yuan Jin naturally heard that his father threatened Mrs. Xue by splitting up his family. Mrs. Xue still refused to change his words, and the two almost fought each other.

"Grandma, let me tell the truth." Yuan Jin said lightly, "Even if you successfully let Sister Yuanzhen go, my younger brother is very stubborn. Is it a saying whether Sister Yuanzhen can assist him. In the future, my younger brother becomes the prince. Once Sister Yuanzhen gets married, she will have no relationship with the Duke Dingguo Mansion. Even if she marrys a powerful family, no one can support her."

If it were not supported by the Duke Dingguo Mansion, Xue Yuanzhen would be a paper-made tiger in the powerful family, which was vulnerable!

Old Mrs. Xue was stunned. She always felt that the fourth room was too weak before. Now it seems that they can do it even if they can’t do anything!

She decided to soften her attitude and said first: "Actually, it is reasonable for me to praise Yuanzhen, but I may not have thought of you. If your brother becomes the prince, your value will naturally be different from now. At that time, although it is not as good as Yuanzhen's identity, it will be much better than now. It is still fair. What's more, the reason why I agreed to Wen Yu's selection was that you would agree to me. Now that I have proposed, you two disagree with this. Isn't it also going back on your word?"

It seems that the old lady is as heart-warming as a rock and never gives up. She is in a stalemate with her father.

Xue Yuanjin sneered again.

If she hadn't been sure, she would never have compromised like this if the old lady had an impact on the old lady of Dingguo Duke!

Of course, it is very different if there is a lady from the Duke of Dingguo Mansion! The old lady was young and ignorant, so she used these words to fool her.

As for what I promised her, it shouldn't be such an unreasonable thing.

But if you don’t compromise and really make a big fuss to the point of separation, unfiliality is a big deal. With a reputation of unfiliality, my father’s officialdom is not easy to develop. What’s more, the Dingguo Duke’s Mansion may also feel resigned when he sees them so much trouble. The Dingguo Duke’s Mansion suddenly decided that Wen Yu was a little strange and came too quickly. If such an opportunity was gone because of the dispute, that would be the most pity!

Yuan Jin would never want to see such a thing happening.

"If my grandmother really insists on doing this, I will not be able to do anything about it." Yuan Jin said suddenly.

Old Mrs. Xue looked at her and she continued, "You can persuade the old lady to adopt both Yuanzhen and me as adopted daughters. If she is also selected, it would be considered that I keep my promise."

Old Mrs. Xue frowned slightly when she heard this. "What do you say? What is the identity of the Duke Dingguo Mansion? How can you adopt it just by saying that you are adopting it!"

Yuan Jin continued, "Don't be impatient, listen to me. The old lady of Dingguo wanted to have a granddaughter to take care of her old age. She also wanted to become a marriage with the Marquis of Wei Yong. I was not old and was not yet married. If I adopted Yuan Zhen and I, one of them, would be married, and the other could stay by my side to relieve my boredom. If the old lady heard this, she would naturally consider it."

After hearing this, Old Mrs. Xue pondered for a moment. Xue Qingshan looked at Yuan Jin, but she wanted to speak but stopped.

In Xue Qingshan's opinion, it was because his daughter was wronged. He said it was good, and the marriage of Marquis Wei Yong was also given to the lady of the Duke's Mansion. If he adopted two of them now, Xue Yuanzhen's family background and age have an advantage over Yuan Jin, and Yuan Jin would not have this share. That would be a waste of a good marriage!

Yuan Jin shook his head gently at Xue Qingshan, indicating that he didn't have to speak.

Others are probably the main purpose of being this lady is to marry Gu Heng. But she is not.

She was even afraid that she would want to slap Gu Heng when she saw him. After saying this, although Xue Yuanzhen was cheap, it also calmed down the conflict in this matter, allowing Wen Yu to be the prince smoothly and also solved the problem of Wei Yonghou's marriage. It was a killing of multiple goals at one fell swoop. In terms of reason, this was an excellent solution.

Old Mrs. Xue thought for a while, then looked up and asked her, "You are so sure, will the old lady agree?"

Yuan Jin tsk softly. After all, Mrs. Xue is a small family, and she still doesn't understand what these big families really care about. She continued to explain: "You have to think about it. The lady is not the prince. For the Duke Dingguo Mansion, there is only one prince, but the lady is just a matter of multiple people for dinner. Even if the ladies get married, they can still consolidate the connections of the Duke's Mansion. How could they care about one more person?" Yuan Jin said again, "You only need to go tomorrow and say this to the old lady and know if it's OK."

When Mrs. Xue heard this, she knew that there was no other way except to try it tomorrow.
