It was surprising enough that Cheng Kang proposed to marry Wang Ting, but now Wang Ting actually came out personally and said that they were in love and a match made in heaven...
On the other hand, everyone in the Wang family, including Wang Zheng's family, even Wang Ting's parents, Wang Zhi and Bai, opened their mouths slightly.
Obviously, they were unaware of this.
"absurd!"
After hesitating for two seconds, Wang Zheng reacted and immediately glared at Wang Ting and said:
"A marriage without a matchmaker, a private marriage for life! This is what the family rules of my Wang family teach you? The marriage has been decided for you. Considering that you are young and ignorant, your uncle will ask the elders in the family not to punish you severely. Let's go back to the house.
"
However, in the face of his accusations and tolerance, Wang Ting, who was kneeling in front of the emperor, remained motionless.
It was as if she couldn't hear Wang Zheng's words and didn't even bother to look at him.
This scene was really embarrassing and made Wang Zheng, who always wanted to save face, extremely angry.
So he immediately winked at his wife, Youshi, and motioned for her to bring someone up to take Wang Ting away.
Seeing Mrs. You walking towards him with two maids, Wang Ting's heart felt like a mirror.
Asking for a marriage in the main hall, she has now made the Wang family's family scandal public. According to the temperament of her uncle and the old men at home, she will have to shed her skin even if she returns home.
Fortunately, she had no intention of looking back since she chose this path.
At the same time, Xue Xue, who was beside Xiao Xiruo, also took a few steps forward and stood in front of the You family like a chasm.
Although Youshi is a third-grade life wife, she can only stop in fear in front of someone like Xue Xue, who licks blood with the tip of a knife.
Before she could turn around and ask her husband for help, Xiao Xiruo, who was leaning on the table, had already spoken.
"Cheng Qianhu is a member of my Xiao family. His marriage has always been a concern for me and Mr. Cheng. Now that it is better, he and Miss Wang are in love, and I am very happy~"
Having said this, she turned to look at Wang Zhengdao:
"Why, Wang Shangshu is so ruthless to his niece, and he wants to beat the mandarin duck with his mouth?"
"this……"
Wang Zheng's face darkened, and there was obvious anger in his eyes when he looked at Xiao Xiruo, but he had to suppress it for the sake of face.
"My parents have ordered the matchmaker to arrange a woman's marriage by the family. This is the rule of my Dayan family and the rule of my Wang family. My dear concubine, you must not break the rules, right?"
As soon as Wang Zheng said this, the spectators in the hall instantly became noisy.
Some people said that this was indeed the case, but others frowned slightly, showing obvious displeasure.
Among them were the Queen Mother Hua, the eldest princess of Ruyang who was beside Marquis Anding, and some powerful ladies.
They are either opponents of this concept, or they have been tired of this statement...
Yes, many of them are willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of their family and endure hardships for their next generation. But this does not mean that they have no complaints and feel that this is a matter of course.
This is sacrifice.
rather than shackles.
So there was no need for Xiao Xiruo to refute, Queen Mother Hua had already sneered:
"Master Wang, the Ai family is also a woman, but the Ai family invited themselves to the palace to serve the late emperor. It was not arranged by the Hua family. No one in the Hua family can arrange the Ai family."
"Isn't that right? I was in love with the Marquis at the beginning, so I asked the emperor for marriage. How come when we get to Mr. Wang, all the women in Dayan are arranged by their parents?"
The eldest princess of Ruyang raised her head and showed a cold face for the first time at the banquet. Beside her, Yan Moqing also frowned, obviously unable to agree.
With Queen Mother Hua and the eldest princess taking the lead, other ladies and ladies also sneered. Some even ignored the objections of their own masters and bluntly said that the Wang family was following the old ways!
Because with each queen mother, princesses entered the political stage, female generals were born in border areas, and in several places, women became officials.
The most famous among them is the wife of Duke Xiao Jing, the mother of Champion Marquis and Concubine Xiao, and Mu Qingzhu, the female general of the Hussars at that time.
At that time, Xiao Jing was seriously injured and his eldest son was not born. It was she who forced her still recovering body to lead the troops into battle and drove back the menacing Beiyi army for three hundred miles.
Although she won the battle, her body was broken, and her death six months later was an everlasting pain in the hearts of the Xiao family.
To this day, everyone has already formed a tacit understanding, that is, not to mention Mrs. Xiao in front of the three people of the Xiao family.
This is also the reason why the old Japanese minister only mentioned her father and brother when he met Xiao Xiruo.
So under such a situation, Wang Zheng quickly realized that he had offended the public.
So while he apologized to Queen Mother Hua and others, he corrected his words and said that this was not the rule of Dayan, but the rule of their Wang family.
Not only that, he also pushed out his brother, who had always been honest and introverted, and asked him and his sister-in-law Bai to take Wang Ting away quickly, so as not to let her continue to embarrass the Wang family here.
Wang Zhi glanced at his eldest brother, and then thought of the strict teachings of his father and several uncles, as well as the dignity and glory of the Wang family.
Finally, he pushed Bai Shi forward two steps and motioned for her to take her daughter away.
However, Mrs. Bai stood there, looking at her two daughters with red eyes.
When Yi Ting sacrificed her life for the Wang family, she endured it.
Yi Ting was almost poisoned to death, but when the Wang family asked them to give in, she endured it again.
But now, Ting'er has made it clear that she is unwilling, and is even willing to risk her own reputation and future for freedom...
As a mother, she couldn't bear it anymore.
"The Queen Mother, Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine, I agree to this marriage."
As soon as Bai said these words, Wang Yiting and Wang Ting shed tears at the same time.
They knew that their mother was weak, and they also knew that the other party's position in the Wang family was being squeezed by others.
But now, my mother, who usually lives a cautious life, is willing to stand on the opposite side of the Wang family for them.
"You...Wang Zhi! It's up to you to take care of today's affairs! If you can't get Wang Ting back, you can explain it yourself to your father and uncle!"
Wang Zheng was so angry that he grabbed Wang Zhi by the collar and wanted to beat him. Fortunately, Youshi on the side caught him in time and reminded him that this was not their palace.
His move obviously frightened Wang Zhi. This weak man had relied on his family and his elder brother all his life. Although he was the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, he was the Minister with the least real power.
Because he just acted according to the wishes of his family, and what he did most in the Ministry of Works was to change his ways in each project.
Everything he has is given by his family, and he has to listen to his elder brother.
So he spoke up and told his wife to take Wang Ting away and stop being angry with his eldest brother and the family.
To this, Bai’s reply was simple:
"Wang Zhi, please divorce me."
Wang Zhi was stunned, and then he saw Bai walking towards Xiao Xiruo step by step, and finally stood beside Wang Yiting.
The Wang family and others cannot go back.
Of course, they don't want to go back.
So the next moment, Wang Ting, who had no worries anymore, kowtowed hard several times, and together with Cheng Kang, stated their demands again.
