Chapter 1211: Meet You Again When Flowers Fall (1)
"My dear sister! It's urgent, why are you still like this!" The eldest cousin looked at the scissors in Du Ruoheng's hand, but she didn't touch it again, but her tone was very anxious, "You don't know, Wei Yanshan came here with his concubine today,
The belly is so big that it looks like she is about to give birth. Madam Wei is in the front hall right now, and your father is trying to deal with her, but you also know that your uncle's eloquence is really..."
Du Ruoheng's father, Du Yu'an, is the eldest son of the Du family. His mother is very strong, so his personality is "a bit" soft.
The mistress of the house was afraid that her son would be bullied if she died, so she found a strong wife for her son.
When he was young, Du Yu'an obeyed his wife's words. Later, his wife died early. Perhaps he was afraid of being controlled, so he did not remarry. He just stayed with Du Ruoheng and wanted to raise his daughter well.
Du Ruoheng looks more and more like her mother, not only in appearance but also in temperament.
Before she took over the Du family's eldest wife, Du Yu'an's life was difficult to describe.
Both his wife and mother left him a lot of money before they passed away, but he had no talent for making money, and his salary was not high.
He dared not spend money at all, for fear that his daughter would not have a dowry in the future, so he was often ridiculed as begging with a golden bowl in his hand.
His difficult life was only gradually improved after Du Ruheng took over the family business.
But even so, Du Yu'an was still very indulgent in his attitude towards his only daughter Du Ruoheng, just like he didn't like the people of the Wei family at all, but as long as his daughter liked them, he would agree to the marriage.
Even this introverted father would, after the engagement, go to Wei's father, who had not yet gone to war, to discuss the matter and have him buy a house near the old house of the Wei Mansion for his daughter and son-in-law for the young couple to live in.
You know, the location of Wei Mansion is the best area in Huanzhou, and every inch of land is worth a lot of money. However, this man who has been stingy with himself for half his life is willing to spend a lot of money to buy a house for his daughter. This shows Du Yu'an's love for his daughter.
Du Ruoheng's expression changed when she heard her father had gone to the front hall. "Isn't my father still on duty at this hour? Why is he here?"
"It seems he heard the Wei family was coming, so he asked for leave and rushed back!" The eldest cousin's wife said again, "Stop dawdling, let's go to the front."
Du Ruoheng didn't delay any longer and rushed to the front hall with Hongdou.
When she rushed to the front hall, she heard her father Du Yu'an raise his voice, which was rare: "Madam Wei, although your son has returned safely, he will soon be a father. Naturally, his marriage to my daughter should be cancelled!"
Madam Wei calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip before she said slowly, "Master Du, Yanshan narrowly escaped death this time. He spent more than half a year recuperating in the mountains before he finally regained his life.
That village woman was his savior. He had lost his memory at the time, which is why he was confused and had physical contact with her. The marriage was arranged because they were childhood sweethearts and had a deep affection for each other. Why don't you ask your daughter first before making a decision?"
Du Yu'an didn't say anything and didn't send anyone to the back to ask his daughter.
After all, he was really afraid that Du Ruoheng would insist on marrying Wei Yanshan regardless of the consequences.
During the stalemate, Du Ruoheng was about to enter the room when she heard Wei Yanshan, who was sitting next to Madam Wei, speak: "Uncle Du, I know that I am sorry for Ruoheng, but it is too late to say these things now.
It was Yuemei who saved me, and I cannot let her down. I am willing to take Ruoheng back to the Wei family. Even if she is my concubine, I will still love her and the power to manage the family will also be hers. What do you think...?”
"Bah!" Before Du Yu'an could say anything, the second sister-in-law who came with Du Ruoheng had already walked in while cursing, "Your Wei family has such a big reputation, but my sister-in-law got the stigma of being a jinx just because of you.
This matter has just been settled for a short time, and you came back with a baby pregnant, and you even want my daughter Ruoheng to be your concubine. What are you thinking~!
When Wei Yanshan was about to say something, Madam Wei suddenly threw the teacup in her hand at her son Wei Yanshan's feet and shouted angrily, "Shut up and stop talking nonsense here."
Wei Yanshan, who was harshly scolded by his mother, looked unhappy at the moment, and even Li Yuemei, who was following beside him, shrank back in fear.
After wiping her hands with the handkerchief handed over by the maid beside her, Madam Wei finally calmed down and turned to Du Yu'an and said, "Master Du, Yanshan just said the wrong thing because he felt sorry for his unborn child.
It may not be possible to make Ruoheng a concubine, how about making her a co-wife? After all, she is the savior of my Yanshan, so it is not appropriate to do too much. Besides, she is pregnant with my son's first child, and we hope that the child can have a legitimate status. "
Du Ruoheng came in at this time. When the Wei family saw her appearance, they suddenly quieted down.
Seeing the other party's calm expression, the second sister-in-law quickly pulled Du Ruoheng and reminded him in a low voice, "Ah Heng, you must not make any mistakes. No matter how much affection you had before, it's gone now.
The Wei family came to you now because they want to use you to fill their hole. After all, they are unwilling to marry that person and can't find any other candidates to take over."
