Chapter 423: Chapter 423: No Pointless Struggle_1
Because of that incident, Wei Yilin has been giving Wei Qingwan a cold treatment recently.
“That incident with eldest brother was an accident, the incident with eldest sister was also an accident. How could every incident be an accident? I may be young, but I’m not an idiot!”
Wei Yilin pouted his lips, his cheek bulged.
Wei Qingwan’s face was sullen. Just as she was about to explain further, she noticed the second Madam from the Bai Family sitting across from her, who had obviously noticed their secret conversation.
Wei Qingwan immediately fell silent, fearing to say more.
Now was not the time to argue with Yilin about that matter. She merely needed to watch and wait for Wei Qingruo to conflict with the elders.
Wei Qingwan didn’t believe that Wei Qingruo, who was used to being arrogant in the General Residence, would calmly accept such arrangement from the elders.
Old Master Wei looked towards Wei Ruo, saw the calm expression on her face and asked, “Ruoruo, what do you think about this marriage arrangement?”
“It’s quite good.” Wei Ruo replied calmly.
She agreed to it? Wei Ruo’s answer took Madam Yun and Wei Qingwan aback.
The arrangement made by the old Master and Madam was even somewhat unacceptable to Madam Yun! She actually accepted it?
The old Master also showed an unexpected expression, having prepared himself for a long conversation with this granddaughter.
“Are you sure you think it’s quite good?” The old Master asked Wei Ruo for confirmation.
“Didn’t grandfather just explain the pros and cons of it? What you said makes sense.” Wei Ruo replied.
At that moment, everyone looked at Wei Ruo with curious eyes.
“Ruoruo, are you sure about this?” Madam Yun looked at Wei Ruo with concern.
“Whether I have thought it over or not, what does it matter? Didn’t Mother say that marriage is decided by the parents’ order and matchmaker’s word? Now that my grandparents are in charge, what else can I object to?” Wei Ruo said calmly.
It would be strange if she didn’t object. If Marquis Xuanping was already one foot in the grave and he didn’t have an adult heir, she could consider marrying him. But unfortunately, this was not the case.
But in order to ruin this marriage and prevent the Wei family from using her as a bargaining chip for their own benefits again, she had to let them let their guard down first.
Being in ancient times and in such a strict noble family, it wasn’t wise to confront the head of the family directly without any leverage.
Wei Ruo wouldn’t make the same mistake twice on these matters.
Seeing Wei Ruo accept everything so calmly, Madam Yun’s brows furrowed even deeper.
Wei Qingwan’s face showed suspicion. This wasn’t related to Wei Qingruo’s usual behavior. What was she planning?
Old Master Wei was very pleased and said: “Ruoruo, you truly are clever and sensible, you really are the daughter of the Wei family.”
Bai Madam enthusiastically grabbed Wei Ruo’s hand and said: “Dear niece, you truly understand things now. Your grandparents have carefully picked this marriage for you. You can rest assured and marry, wealth and honor will be inexhaustible.”
Wei Ruo looked at her calmly, not responding.
Wei Minghong laughed and said: “Don’t worry, niece, Marquis Xuanping has prepared a generous dowry for you. You’ll surely have an extravagant wedding.”
Mrs. Mo followed suit and added warmly: “Don’t worry about anything else, the family will help you arrange everything appropriately.”
Wei Ruo gave a slight nod, seeming to have no objections to the arrangement.
Wei Ruo”s reaction was unexpected for everybody, yet it was what they all hoped to see.
Her willingness to cooperate would save them a lot of trouble.
After discussing Wei Ruo’s matter, the old Master and Madam turned their focus to Wei Yichen.
Wei Yichen was the only one among the three generations of the Wei family who had become a Scholar.
