Chapter 57 Anger - Rebirth of the Noble Daughter

 Chapter 57 Anger

"I have to say, the roots of the Liang family are not good. I heard that Mr. Liang broke off the arranged marriage at home back then and forcibly married a woman from a prominent family. That's how they achieved today's power and glory. I didn't expect his son to be just like his father, really... what's the saying?"

"As the father is, so is the son!"

"Yes, that's it."

The old lady from the Xu family looked dignified, with her back straight, while the Liang family's servants looked sneaky, making people angry just by looking at them.

"Since the Liang family isn't sending anyone, then I won't be polite."

With that, she raised the gift list and began to unfold it. The servants who came with the Xu family were also not to be trifled with. When the old lady called, they started checking the boxes. The surrounding onlookers couldn't help but sigh. It was indeed a wedding from a wealthy family. The dowry was enough for people from miles around to live a good life for a lifetime.

In the backyard.

Mr. Liang was so angry that steam seemed to be coming out of his seven orifices, but he didn't dare to go out and invite trouble at this time.

"Just look at what you've done. If it weren't for my consideration for your marriage with Miss Wei, I would have killed you."

Through gritted teeth, he squeezed out these words. The teacups on the table were smashed repeatedly, splashing tea onto Liang Gongzi, who was kneeling on the ground, but he dared not offer any resistance.

"Father, please calm down."

"Calm down? How can I calm down? What's wrong with you? If you wanted to break off the engagement, couldn't you have found a better way? You had to make such a scene with the Xu family. Look, they're blocking our gate and cursing at us!"

When he got really angry, he picked up a nearby vase and was about to smash it.

Liang Luo, who was standing beside him, felt sorry for her brother and was afraid that something bad would happen if he really smashed it. She hurried over to comfort her father, who was still angry.

"Father, there's no need to get so angry. Although breaking off the engagement makes our family lose face, in fact, we've gained a great advantage. How can the Xu family, a declining family, compare to the Wei family? When Miss Wei marries into our family, you and Duke Wei will be relatives by marriage. By then, won't that be a great help in court?"

After saying these words, Mr. Liang's fluctuating chest finally calmed down a bit, and he felt less angry.

What she said made sense. The Xu family had no promising descendants. Elder Xu now appeared powerful, but compared to the Wei family, their power was nothing. If the Ninth Prince were to ascend to the throne one day, they would be relatives of the new emperor.

But these were all future matters.

At the moment, they were struggling to bear the anger of the Xu family, as well as the anger of the Wei family, the Ninth Prince and even the noble concubine in the palace. Just thinking about it gave him a headache.

This great wealth was indeed very difficult to handle.

"Liang family, how dare you snatch someone from Us? Do you have the guts of a bear and the heart of a leopard?"

In the Hall of Contemplation, the Noble Consort Wei was furious. Her well-preserved face was now covered in dark clouds, and her slender fingers, stained with safflower juice, wrinkled the silk handkerchief in her hand. She roared angrily, and her voice echoed throughout the palace.

The palace maids were trembling with fear and all knelt down, not daring to make a sound.

The chief palace maid, Yue Shi, who was closest to her, took a trembling step forward. "Your Highness, please calm down. If the Liang family has done such a thing, just report it to His Majesty to punish them. Your Highness, please don't get angry. If you hurt your health, it won't be worth it."

The comforting words did not alleviate the anger in the Noble Consort Wei's heart. She pursed her lips and glared around.

"Why are you still kneeling? Go and prepare the sedan chair. I'll go see His Majesty immediately."

"Yes." The palace maids received the order and immediately fled from the main hall. A newly arrived palace maid panicked and accidentally bumped into the favorite vase of the Noble Consort, making a loud noise as the shards fell to the ground.

"What kind of people did the Interior Ministry send? How dare they send such a palace maid to the Hall of Contemplation? Yue Shi, take her away and beat her to death as a warning to others!"

"Yes." Although Yue Shi felt that the punishment was too severe, who asked the Noble Consort to be angry now? This palace maid was really unlucky.

"The servant didn't mean it, please spare me, spare me..."

The little palace maid was so frightened that she lost her senses, and no matter how she knocked her head, it was of no use. The eunuchs came forward, knocked her unconscious directly, and dragged her away.

The Noble Consort Wei breathed a sigh of relief, as if the pent-up anger had been vented. Yue Shi immediately handed her the favorite Eyebrow Peak Bud Tea, and ordered someone to quickly clean up the broken pieces on the ground.

"Don't be angry, Your Highness. With His Majesty around, he will surely make decisions for Your Highness and the Ninth Prince."

Thinking of her beloved son, the Noble Consort Wei's suppressed anger surged up again, and she looked at Yue Shi with widened phoenix eyes, her face turning pale.

Yue Shi didn't know where she had said the wrong thing, so she hurriedly knelt down. Just as she was about to say something, she saw the Ninth Prince walk in, his deep voice sounding ominous, "Mother, what's wrong?"

A hint of crimson suddenly gathered in his pitch-black eyes, emanating an icy chill from head to toe.

"Yunli, are you alright?" The Noble Consort Wei looked at him anxiously, feeling distressed.

On the contrary, the Ninth Prince's face, like a sharp knife, showed no trace of sadness. His lips were pale, and his eyes were dark and inscrutable.

"To be sad for a woman who lacks restraint, Mother underestimates me too much." His words were filled with disdain for Wei Lanxuan.

After all, she was his own niece and a child whom the Noble Consort Wei had watched grow up. She didn't believe that it was Wei Lanxuan's idea. She was single-mindedly convinced that it must have been instigated by the Liang family to reach this point.

Therefore, her anger was directed at the Liang family, forgetting about her niece.

"Yunli, don't speak ill of Lan'er like this. She is the legitimate wife that Mother has chosen for you. In terms of appearance, temperament, talent, and skill, she is unparalleled. Ask around the whole city, you won't find a second girl like her."

The Ninth Prince didn't deny it, but he snorted coldly.

"I have already informed Father. The decree for this marriage will not be issued again, and Mother doesn't need to intercede for me."

"What?" The Noble Consort Wei was shocked, not understanding the meaning behind her son's words. She continued, "Do you have someone else in your heart? If you do, it's fine. After Lan'er enters the mansion and gives birth to the legitimate son, you can bring her in. Mother will not say anything more."

In her view, as long as the legitimate son came from the Wei family's womb, the rest were just concubines, and it was fine to favor them a little more.

Upon hearing the Noble Consort Wei's words, the Ninth Prince's eyes suddenly darkened, and he looked sharply at her.

Without saying a word, the Noble Consort Wei felt a chill down her spine.

"The person who will be the legitimate wife of this Prince will never be a woman from the Wei family again. If Mother has nothing else to do, then look for other girls from other families for the Prince."

With that, he swept his sleeves and left.

The Noble Consort Wei realized that this matter was already beyond redemption. "Send out invitations. Tomorrow, I want to see Father."

"Yes."

Today's events were too strange, there must be something fishy going on. If she caught the person who was behind this mischief, she would make sure they had no way to seek forgiveness and relieve her heart of this hatred.

After bidding farewell to Feng Jinyao, Bai Siruo drove to a tavern near Mount Mingchi.

The shopkeeper saw her arrival and led her to a private room with familiarity. The window faced Mount Mingchi Lake, which was already frozen, and many children were playing on it.
