Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 933 It’s either no choice or a delaying tactic

Bai Weiyong's courtyard.

When Mr. Shen came, Bai Weiyong was taking a nap.

The collision in the main hall seemed to have drained him of all his energy.

In the past, he devoted ten hours a day to government affairs, and he seemed to have inexhaustible energy.

No matter what you do, you are always in good spirits.

Nowadays, this old man, who is still in his prime, has lost his energy as before.

Even if you sit for half an hour, you will feel tired.

This wasn't the first time today that he fell asleep.

Just as Mr. Shen was about to leave, his voice sounded inside: "My child, why do you come to see your grandfather?"

Shen stopped, smiled, and then walked into the room with wide open windows and doors.

Mrs. Lin was waiting beside her, gently fanning Bai Weiyong.

Seeing Mrs. Shen come in, she put down her fan and then retreated.

Mrs. Shen deliberately avoided doing anything to her, but she was still cautious.

There is nothing the Shen family can do about it.

Seeing her leaving, Mrs. Shen had no choice but to salute: "I've met my aunt."

Bai Weiyong waved his hand and said with a smile: "Let her go. This is her temperament, and you don't know it."

"I was careful enough in the past. Now that your little aunt has returned to live in the house, she feels that she owes everyone, so she is even more cautious."

Mrs. Shen was helpless: "Everyone in the house actually respects my aunt and remembers her kindness."

Bai Weiyong nodded: "Grandpa, I am also grateful to her from the bottom of my heart... Your grandmother passed away early, and your uncles and aunts were almost all in charge of everything big and small."

"Although she is not my biological mother, nothing she does is unlike that of a mother. If it hadn't been for her hard work over the years, my grandfather would have accomplished nothing."

Mrs. Shen smiled and said, "If grandpa could tell my aunt this in person, my aunt would definitely be happy."

Bai Weiyong smiled: "You kid, you can only make fun of your grandfather. How can your grandfather be that kind of person?"

"Although my grandfather misses your grandmother, he has been with your aunt for decades. Even if he doesn't say it, I believe she understands it in her heart."

Hearing this, Shen sighed.

I'm afraid this aunt doesn't understand.

Otherwise, he would not always be in the position of a servant.

From her aunt's eyes, she could see that her aunt loved her grandfather very much.

This kind of respect and love made her not fight or snatch away, but she also treated her grandmother's children as her own and devoted herself to the family for decades.

However, my aunt must have always felt that my grandfather missed my grandmother.

That's why she is so humble, so humble that she wants to be considerate in everything, and is not even willing to say a word to her grandfather about her grievances.

If my grandfather could say it himself, my aunt would be happy.

But according to my grandfather's temperament, I'm afraid he won't say a few words until that day comes.

It is not easy for Mr. Shen to comment on matters involving her elders.

She was helpless about this.

Just as she was thinking about it, Bai Weiyong asked her kindly: "My child, what do you want to do with your grandfather? But something happened at home? Or is there something wrong with Xiao Qi and Ming Wei?"

Mr. Shen nodded: "There is indeed something I want to tell my grandfather."

Bai Weiyong glanced at Qingbai, who immediately helped him up and sat up.

He sat up straight and looked at Shen with a smile: "You tell me, grandfather, listen." Shen did not mention Bai Mingwei's marriage directly, but first talked about the girls in the family.

Shen said: "Grandpa, someone from the Marquis of Nan'an's Mansion inquired about the second girl, and the Marquis of Nan'an's wife also sent a greeting card to her grandson's daughter-in-law, saying that she was coming to visit her, and she was afraid that she wanted to marry the second girl."

Bai Weiyong asked: "So, how did you respond?"

Mrs. Shen smiled and said, "My granddaughter-in-law felt that this was not a good marriage, so she refused. In this world, anything can be forced, but marriage requires caution."

"All the legitimate sons of the Marquis of Nan'an have been married for a long time, and now there is only one concubine left who is still unmarried. My granddaughter-in-law heard that the concubine's character is not good."

Bai Weiyong's smile became even more amiable: "You are right. The Nan'an Marquis Mansion has been defeated long ago, and there is only one title left. Now I am afraid that both the Duke and the Duke are living in a tight situation."

"They asked to marry our girl. Grandpa guessed they didn't really mean it, but they were just waiting for a dowry to save them."

Mrs. Shen nodded: "My granddaughter-in-law thinks so too. The Marquis of Nan'an has gone too far this time."

"It's okay to use a concubine to beg the legitimate daughter of our family. It doesn't matter if the concubine is more advanced and has a lower background."

"But that bastard is not only willing to surrender, he is also uneducated and incompetent. How can any girl survive her life if she encounters such a person?"

Bai Weiyong said slowly and calmly: "The fact that they dare to do that shows that in their hearts, the Bai family girl is only worthy of that kind of thing."

"As the saying goes, men should marry low and women should marry high. I'm afraid they think our second girl is worse than that concubine."

"You don't need to pay attention to people like this, arguing with them will only cause more trouble. Even if you refuse, don't get angry because of it."

Mrs. Shen responded one by one: "Grandpa, grandson-in-law understands."

Bai Weiyong looked at her with a smile: "If you have anything to say, just say it. Grandpa can hold on."

Shen was silent for a moment, and then spoke: "There was news from the front that Yuan Xun asked Your Majesty to marry Mingwei, and Your Majesty has already agreed and announced the marriage in the court."

Bai Weiyong trembled, and then asked: "Where is Mingwei? What did she say?"

Shen's voice weakened: "Mingwei agreed, as if willingly. There are rumors that Mingwei guarded Yuanxun in the post house and fell in love for a long time, so he agreed to the marriage."

Bai Weiyong was silent for a long time, and then he spoke: "Grandpa can see that Mingwei's feelings for Feng Qingchen are just due to his duties, so he interfered with his children's personal relationship."

"The reason why my grandfather agreed this time was that it was either a delaying tactic or he had no other choice."

Mrs. Shen took a deep breath: "Grandpa, grandson-in-law doesn't want this news to reach your ears in another way, so I came here to tell you."

"I hope my grandfather won't be too worried. No matter how difficult this matter is, there will be a solution in the end. Mingwei will not marry far away."

Bai Weiyong was about to speak, but then he smiled to himself.

His reaction made Shen very worried.

He also saw Shen's worry, so he explained: "Grandpa is fine. Grandpa was just thinking that if in the past, doing this could bring peace between the two countries, even Mingwei, grandpa would be willing to do it."

After a pause, Bai Weiyong's tone was very sincere: "But now, my grandfather doesn't want her to enter that dragon's pond and tiger's den."

Mrs. Shen persuaded softly: "Everything will be fine. Grandpa, don't worry."

Bai Weiyong in turn comforted Mr. Shen: "You don't have to worry. Grandpa will try his best to stop this and won't let Mingwei go."

Seeing that the old man was not seriously shocked, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She comforted Bai Weiyong for a while, and then prepared to leave Bai Weiyong's yard.

At the door, she met Mrs. Lin.

Mrs. Shen saluted as usual: "Auntie."

After speaking, I will leave.

Mrs. Lin stopped her: "Young Mistress!"

Mrs. Shen turned around and said, "Auntie, what's wrong?"

Mrs. Lin hesitated to speak, but finally spoke: "It's... it's about the third young lady. I think it's better to talk to you."
