A Blessed Daughter

Chapter 551: Extreme joy brings sorrow

Chapter 551 Extreme joy leads to sorrow

However, Wei Qingwan cannot stimulate Wei Ruo at all, and the pregnancy is not important to Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo looked at Wei Qingwan being surrounded by everyone with an expression on his face.

 She neither needs to have children to gain favor, nor does she need to have children to prove her worth.

She knew that in the world she lived in, women often valued mother and child, but in Wei Ruo's understanding, children should only be born with the person they love when they are both ready. Whether he is alive or not, there is nothing to criticize and nothing to be proud of.

 Because it was learned that Wei Qingwan was most likely pregnant, and that this was Prince Yu's first child, Wei Qingwan suddenly became the object of everyone's attention and protection.

Wei Qingwan's face was filled with happiness, and she really enjoyed everyone's concern for her at this moment.

At this time, someone from the Wei family came to report that someone from Huiren's store outside sent an IOU, which was a written receipt for the concubine of King Yu to borrow a thousand taels.

Hearing this, Wei Mingting and Chu Heng looked surprised and both looked at Wei Qingwan.

Wei Qingwan was immersed in happiness just now, but her face turned stiff the next moment.

 An IOU of one thousand taels!

Of course Wei Qingwan remembered that she had signed one!

Yunshi frowned and looked away. This matter had always been a pain in her heart. The scene of her daughter's disobedience to her was still vivid in her mind.

Wei Ruo raised her eyebrows, a little surprised. She knew about this IOU, but it was signed to the Bai family.

Wei Ruo is curious about how this IOU got to Huiren Store?

She has been running a shop in the capital for some time, and she has heard about Huiren Store. Sun Sanniang told her not to mess with Huiren Store easily, because the Marquis of Jinglan Mansion is behind Huiren Store.

There is a fundamental difference between whether the person asking for debt today is Bai's or Huiren Shop.

Wei Ruo looked at Wei Qingwan again, her face had changed from shy just now to livid. I wonder if this could be regarded as extreme joy leading to sadness?

After Wei Mingting was silent for a moment, he asked his servant to hand over the IOU.

He took it in his hand and looked at it carefully. Wei Qingwan's name was written in black and white on it, and his fingerprints were pressed on it.

 And Wei Qingwan's reaction also showed that this was true.

Looking at his wife's reaction, it seems that she already knew about this IOU.

Wei Mingting lowered his eyes and asked the servant who came to report: "What did the person who sent this IOU say?"

The key IOU was given directly. If the Wei family tore up the IOU now, it would be considered as if the matter was over, and it would be useless for the other party to sue the government again.

"The other party didn't say anything, he just asked the villain to hand over the IOU to the master."

Huiren Store did not ask for money and directly returned the IOU.

Wei Mingting tightened his hand holding the IOU.

Wei Mingting turned to look at Wei Qingwan. If his daughter was not married, he could question her carefully at this moment, but now that she is married, it is not his turn to discipline her, not to mention that she is still Prince Yu's side concubine. His status does not allow him to discipline anyone.

Wei Mingting said coldly: "This happened before your marriage. It is my fault as a father. As a father, I will repay this thousand taels of silver for you."

The other party did not ask the Wei family to pay money, but Wei Mingting could not pretend that nothing happened and refuse to pay back the debt.

Wei Qingwan was so nervous that she didn't dare to look directly into Wei Mingting's eyes, and her hands were crossed in confusion. Chu Heng hurriedly said to Wei Mingting: "Father-in-law, Wanwan is already a member of Prince Yu's Palace. Naturally, these one thousand taels should come from Prince Yu's Palace. How can I trouble my father-in-law to spend money?"

One thousand taels is not a big deal to Prince Yu's Mansion, so Chu Heng is naturally willing to pay this money in exchange for the Wei family's favor for him.

Wei Mingting said: "It's okay for me to discipline you, but if you teach me bad things, it's my responsibility. I can't trouble His Royal Highness Prince Yu."

At this time, Wei Yichen, who had been silent, spoke up: "Father, you don't have to blame yourself. My mother had repeatedly dissuaded me from this matter. It was the second sister who insisted on doing this. The second sister has always had big ideas. Even if you were there at the time, you might not be able to stop it. It’s her.”

 Wei Yichen's words seemed to be persuading Wei Mingting, but they secretly revealed their family's attitude towards Wei Qingwan and Wei Qingwan's behavior at home before getting married.

How could Wei Qingwan not hear it? When she heard this, she felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet, and her stomach was churning again. But this time when she vomited again, everyone just looked at her and did not immediately express concern.

Wei Qingwan looked at Chu Heng nervously. There was not much expression on Chu Heng's face. He still looked modest.

Then Wei Yichen stood up, clasped his fists and said to Chu Heng: "Your Highness, what happened today is the fault of my Wei family. This money was owed by my second sister before her marriage. Even though I don't want to admit that the person who did such a clumsy act is a girl from my Wei family." She is my sister, this is still the responsibility of my Wei family, and it should be returned by my Wei family."

Wei Ruo stared at Wei Yichen on the right, savoring his words.

These words sounded like an apology to Chu Heng, but they also vaguely revealed the information that he and Wei Qingwan had a bad relationship. It was difficult for Wei Ruo not to suspect that Wei Yichen did this deliberately.

"Brother, you don't have to be polite. We are a family, and the affairs of the Wei family are also my business, not to mention Wanwan's business." Chu Heng replied.

The two of them were polite. In the end, Wei Mingting, no matter what Chu Heng said, asked someone to pick up the banknote and handed it over to the people from Huiren Store to take it away.

On the way from the hall to Anxin Garden, Wei Ruo found a space to talk to Wei Yichen alone.

 She walked up and asked Wei Yichen: "Is the IOU arranged by my eldest brother today?"

Wei Ruo felt that it was unlikely that Mr. Bai would have thought of what happened today.

 She gave the IOU to Huiren Store and asked Huiren Store to ask for money.

Huiren Shop was very smart. He would not directly ask for money to offend the Wei family and Prince Yu's Mansion. He chose to return the IOU very politely.

 With Wei Mingting's character, it is impossible for him to just accept the IOU and not repay the money.

In this way, Bai not only got the money, but also avoided the trouble of coming forward, killing two birds with one stone.

Wei Yichen said indifferently: "I just provided a way for Mrs. Bai to get the money back. She couldn't get the money directly herself, so she chose to sell the IOU to an outside shop for 800 taels of silver. The shop came to ask for the money and got back a One thousand taels, earn the difference of two hundred taels."

“I think Huiren Store is willing to take over this business because of my elder brother’s sake, right?” Wei Ruodao.

"Huiren Shop is a business owner. They can earn two hundred taels of silver just by making one trip. There is no reason for them not to do this business." Wei Yichen did not answer directly.

 “It seems that the second brother still hasn’t forgiven Wei Qingwan.” Wei Ruodao.

“Why should I forgive someone who almost killed me?” Wei Yichen asked.
