Chapter 162 Wei Family
"Who hurt my son?"
Duke Wei shouted angrily.
Xu Keke paused, looking fearless.
"It's me, what do you think?"
Duke Wei's face darkened when he saw Xu Keke.
"Princess Sheng, don't be so arrogant and domineering just because you're the regent!"
Xu Ke held his head high and chest puffed out his luxurious mink coat.
"Arrogant and domineering? Your son should be taught a lesson for stopping me in person!
What's more, after he fell down, he called me by my name.
My name is engraved on the Imperial Jade Butterfly, how can a dandy like him, who has no achievements and relies on the blessing of his ancestors, call me that casually? "
The servant from the Duke of Wei's mansion next to him whispered a few words in the Duke of Wei's ear.
Duke Wei regained his confidence and spoke after some hesitation.
"Princess Sheng, please don't try to justify your claims. It was you who had my son thrown from the building. Everyone saw it."
He turned and looked at the crowd.
"Everyone, please give us your judgment. Princess Sheng pushed someone down the stairs over a disagreement. Is there any justice in this? Is there any law in this?"
Dingdang stood in front of Xu Keke and snorted coldly.
"If this lord wants an explanation, please go find my prince, and don't stand here blocking my princess's way."
Duke Wei's face was gloomy, but he said nothing more.
Just a pair of eyes fixed on Xu Keke.
For a while, the two sides were in a stalemate and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
At this tense moment, a careless voice sounded.
"Everyone, get out of the way! This commander is following the orders of the Regent and is here to escort Princess Sheng back to her palace. Anyone who dares to stop me will be killed without mercy!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw the commander of the Imperial Guard, Master Sheng Liu, riding a warhorse and hurriedly approaching with nearly a hundred Imperial Guards.
Forced by this momentum, the crowd dispersed automatically.
Master Sheng Liu dismounted, walked up to Xu Keke, and bowed respectfully, saying:
"Princess, I'm sorry. Please follow me back to the palace."
Xu Ke nodded slightly and prepared to leave under the escort of the Royal Guards.
Duke Wei was unwilling to see this, but he did not dare to stop it.
However, just as Xu Keke and others were about to leave.
The dandy boy who was being supported suddenly struggled and shouted:
"You can't let her go, Dad. I want her to be in trouble!"
Duke Wei's expression changed and he slapped him in the face.
"Evil son! Stop talking nonsense."
Xu Ke looked back, sneered, and ignored him.
Surrounded by the imperial guards, he boarded the carriage of Prince Sheng's mansion and drove away.
After returning to the palace, Xu Ke took the feed to feed the parrot.
"Second idiot, am I being too arrogant today?
That playboy dared to shout at me in front of me.
If I don't punish him, where will the dignity of the royal family be?
Where is the majesty of the Regent? Don’t you think so?
The parrot was eating grain and jumping around in the cage, and it even had time to mimic human speech.
"Beautiful, Princess, beautiful."
......
Duke Wei was also busy here. He asked the servants to take his son back to the Duke Wei's Mansion in a carriage.
He also invited the court doctor to give this playboy son a thorough diagnosis and treatment.
The Duke of Wei, his wife, and the fourth young lady of Wei were all standing by, concerned about his injuries, each with their own concerns.
Although Lady Guogong and Wei Shushu looked concerned, they actually wished he would die.
If he died, there would be a chance to use public opinion to criticize Princess Sheng for her arrogance and disregard for other people's lives.
After all, the news that Princess Sheng's men threw the young master of Duke Wei's mansion down the stairs would spread quickly.
The court doctor took the boy's pulse, checked his eyelids, and touched his body randomly.
The final conclusion was that the problem was not serious and it would be fine after lying in the house for a few days.
Wei Guogong breathed a sigh of relief.
The Duke's wife and Wei Shushu sighed inwardly.
"Okay, you two have seen it, go back!"
Duke Wei sat beside his son's bed and waved his hand to send his wife and daughter away.
But just as the dandy son had calmed down, his aunt came to make trouble with Duke Wei again.
Speaking of which, this playboy son was a bastard in the Duke of Wei's mansion, and his name was Wei Qilin.
The reason why Wei Qilin could become a playboy and dare to show off so much in public was because his aunt was the most beloved concubine of Duke Wei, Aunt Su.
At this time, Aunt Su heard that her only son was thrown into the street from the second-floor window by Princess Sheng's maid.
Not only did the Duke fail to seek justice for his son, he also scolded his son in public, calling him a bad boy.
How could she sit still any longer? She grabbed a cloak and put it on, then hurried to find Duke Wei to make trouble.
"Master, you have to take care of our Lin'er! He's injured like this, and you're just going to ignore him?"
As soon as Aunt Su entered her son's yard, she threw herself into the arms of Duke Wei.
He completely failed to notice that the Duke's wife and the fourth daughter were still standing nearby.
She cried and wiped the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief.
Duke Wei frowned and patted her back impatiently.
"This rebellious son usually behaves recklessly. This time he brought this upon himself and cannot blame anyone else."
When Aunt Su heard this, she burst into tears.
"Master, you can't say that. Even if our son has a thousand faults, we can't let others bully him like this! What does Princess Sheng mean? She's just relying on her status."
Duke Wei pushed her away and scolded her with a sullen face.
"Shut up! If you continue to be so unreasonable, don't blame me for being ruthless.
How can we easily offend Princess Sheng? Don't you know that she is the regent's wife? "
Aunt Su trembled, but she was still unwilling to give in.
She tore open her tightly wrapped cloak, revealing a chest-length skirt trimmed with fox fur, revealing a large area of snow-white skin.
Duke Wei swallowed hard and his expression softened considerably.
Aunt Su came over coquettishly, hugged Duke Wei's arm and shook him.
"Master, are we just going to swallow this anger? Are we just going to let go of the injustice my son has suffered?
You are the Duke, and the Queen Mother in the palace is your biological daughter.
This Princess Sheng really doesn't take you seriously. If this gets out, it will damage the Queen Mother's dignity, right?"
Duke Wei snorted and pulled her away.
"This matter still requires long-term consideration. The Regent has just returned to the capital in triumph, and we cannot afford to lose our composure at this critical juncture.
Well, don't bother Lin'er here, I'm a little tired, I'm going to rest in Aunt Su's room."
Duke Wei and Aunt Su walked away tugging at each other.
The Duke's wife and Wei Shushu looked at each other. They had seen this kind of routine countless times.
Every time this illegitimate son came back from causing trouble outside, the Duke of Wei would be furious.
The mother and daughter came over to persuade him, but before they could say a few words, Aunt Su would come over in a fancy way and coax Duke Wei away.
But this time it was a little different. Usually Wei Qilin bullied others, but this time he hit a wall.
Provoked Princess Sheng.
Wei Shushu has always been jealous of Princess Sheng Xu Keke.
Ever since she met the Regent Chu Musheng once in the palace, she had only one goal in life, which was to marry Chu Musheng.
