The vicious female supporting role is ruthless and arrogant

Chapter 395: The Situation of Prime Minister Wei's Family

“How can I, a junior, explain Prime Minister Wei’s personal situation?

But I can tell you about his family situation.

Prime Minister Wei had one wife and one concubine in his life. His principal wife was Princess Anyang, the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion.

A concubine is the wife's personal maid.

Prime Minister Wei had a total of six children, three sons and three daughters, all born to his wife.

The concubine has no children, so I don’t know the details.

Prime Minister Wei’s eldest son currently serves as the Minister of War, his second son serves as the Minister of Personnel, and his third son is the Grand Secretary of the Guanwen Hall.

The fourth daughter married a second-rank civil and military general.

The fifth daughter, probably your mother, married the worst.

The sixth daughter married an academician.

There are four grandsons in the court now, one of whom was sent to the southwest to guard the border last year.

It seems that several of the younger generations are unmarried.

That’s pretty much all I know.”

Zhu Jin nodded and grinned, "Nine out of ten times.

You just got one thing wrong.

My maternal grandfather's concubine, Grandma Jiang, had a daughter, who is my fourth aunt.

Because she was brought up by Grandma Jiang to my grandmother’s lap when she was born, she was told to the outside world that she was a legitimate daughter and was raised in the same manner as a legitimate daughter.”

"Huh? Your grandmother was so pregnant? Helping another woman raise a child?"

Zhu Jin pouted and scratched his head, "I don't know the details, my mother only told me a little bit when she was alive.

It seems that my grandmother injured her body when she gave birth to my third uncle, and the doctor said that she would never be able to have children in the future.

But my grandmother really wanted a girl.

At that time, my grandfather suggested adopting a child, but my grandmother didn't want to help raise a child for someone she didn't know, so she didn't agree.

Later, when my grandmother saw that her personal maid seemed to have some interest in my grandfather, she discussed with him about taking Grandma Jiang as a concubine.

I heard that my grandfather got very angry about this.

In order to force my grandfather to agree, my grandmother even pretended to be sick.

My grandfather was so helpless that he didn't even give Grandma Jiang a banquet. In a fit of rage, he just had the bridal chamber and then made Grandma Jiang his concubine.

But I heard that my grandfather only spent one night with Grandma Jiang and never entered Grandma Jiang's yard again.

That very night, Grandma Jiang became pregnant with my fourth aunt.

I don’t know what happened in the middle, but as soon as my fourth aunt was born, she was sent to be raised by my grandmother.

When my fourth aunt got married and returned home, my grandmother asked her to offer a cup of tea to Grandma Jiang. Only then did she realize that she was Grandma Jiang's child.

When she found out the truth, she almost died.

It was only after my aunt and my mother persuaded her that she gave up.

This matter was later spread, but not many people knew about it. "

"So according to what you said, your grandmother was injured after giving birth to your third uncle and couldn't have another child. Then how did your mother and your sixth aunt come about?

Picked it up?"

Zhu Jin rolled his eyes at Jun Yuyang, "How is that possible?

When my fourth aunt was one year old, my grandmother suddenly became pregnant. She asked the imperial physician to see her, only to find out that the doctor had made a mistake.

At that time, my grandmother was just weak and seriously ill. She had difficulty conceiving, not that she could not get pregnant again.

As long as you take good care of your body, you will be able to conceive naturally.

Later, my mother and my sixth aunt were born.”

Jun Yuyang said with some regret:

"what?

Then, isn't your grandmother sending her maid to her husband's bed for nothing and causing trouble for herself?"

Zhu Jin shook his head and said, "No, my mother also asked my grandmother about this question.

Although I was still young at that time, I still seemed to understand what he said.

My grandmother said that all the men in Daman had three wives and four concubines, and men like my grandfather were very rare.

But in the past, in the Manchuria, if a man did not have a concubine, he would be ridiculed as incompetent.

My grandmother is also said to be jealous by outsiders.

If my grandfather must marry a concubine, it would be better to arrange someone who knows him well.

There will be less chaos in this family from now on.

Perhaps my grandmother's decision was correct. By taking Grandma Jiang as a concubine, she not only silenced the gossips from outside, but also brought peace to the Wei family's backyard for decades.

Ever since the Emperor and Empress announced to the world that the royal family practiced monogamy, my uncles have only married wives and have not taken concubines.

My grandparents had a harmonious family and their children and grandchildren had a bright future. I think it was probably because of monogamy."

Jun Yuyang thought about it and said with an expression of agreement: "I think so."

Not to mention, it seems that all the descendants of this dynasty who have achieved some success practice monogamy in their families.

For example, his brother-in-law, Bai Ruize, the son of Marquis Jingyang, was a great general with outstanding military achievements at a young age.

There was also the son of the Minister of Rites, who was beaten by me when he was a child and sued me in the Imperial Palace. His parents were also monogamous.

That boy is now the Minister of Rites and will most likely inherit his father's position in the future.

There are still many examples of this.

“Well, since you know my grandfather, Zhu Jin will have to trouble Master Yin.

Shall we set off for Licheng now?"

Jun Yuyang nodded, "Well, let's go directly to Licheng, but you have to wait for my guard."

He pulled out a bamboo tube from his sleeve, lit it with a fire stick and pointed it towards the sky.

A yellow flare shot into the air.

"Hey, how come you have this thing?

I saw my cousin take this thing home.

Only the army and the palace can use it."

Jun Yuyang pulled the corner of his mouth and said carelessly. "The ones used by the palace and the army are all produced by my family.

We do spot checks all the time, so it's not surprising that I have this."

Zhu Jin nodded in sudden realization and said, "Oh, so that's how it is.

Your business is so big? You even do business for the country?

Isn't that a royal merchant?"

Jun Yuyang pulled the corner of his mouth and nodded awkwardly.

It seems that I have to be more careful in front of the girl in the future.

This girl is quite simple and not very wary, but she doesn't seem to be stupid and has some knowledge.

"too……"

"It was too, too, too thrilling, sir. Although those people were like useless people, they were extremely difficult to deal with."

Before Xing Luo could utter the word "Crown Prince" out loud, he received a sharp look from Jun Yuyang and quickly changed his words.

"Is it solved?"

"Of course, I smashed the fat guy's eggs."

Zhu Jin suddenly opened his eyes wide and gave Xing Luo a thumbs up with excitement.

"hero……"

It was the first time that Xing Luo received praise from a girl. He blushed and scratched the back of his head.

"It is only right, only right, to help those in need when seeing injustice on the road..."

"Okay, let's find a carriage and go directly to Licheng."

"Sir, we are just two grown men, why don't we just ride on horses? Why do we need a carriage?"

Jun Yuyang curled the corner of his mouth. Will this guy be able to get married in the future?

But it's true. I'm so smart but I still can't find a wife. This guy is so stupid, so he's even less likely to find one, right?

"Let Miss Zhu take the carriage. She wants to go with us. I promise to escort her to the capital after I finish my business."

"Oh, so that's how it is.

Well, you wait here, I'll get a carriage."

Half an hour later, Jun Yuyang and Xing Luo drove out of the city in a carriage.

Because the son of the Yang family had his eggs smashed by thieves, the whole city was arresting people and the inspections for entry and exit were much stricter.

When it was Jun Yuyang's turn, Xing Luo took out his badge and showed it to him, then put his index finger to his lips to keep quiet, and the carriage quietly left the city gate.

"Huh? They've already left the city.

The gate guards here are so irresponsible that they let the carriage pass without even checking it."

Jun Yuyang sat outside the carriage and said with a smile: "Wouldn't it be better to check it a little more loosely?

If you are discovered, you will be the runaway bride that the Yang family is looking for, and you will be caught and taken back."

Zhu Jin pursed his lips and thought for a while, "That's the truth.

But what if there are bad guys in the carriage?

They are so irresponsible, aren't they letting the bad guys go?"

"Don't worry, they are usually very strict. I showed them the Royal Emergency Freight Certificate, and they let it go."

"That's pretty much it..."

At night, after walking most of the way, they found a small town to stay in.

Jun Yuyang booked two rooms and asked for food and hot water.

It doesn't matter to them as grown men, but they cannot treat young girls badly.

"Master, why did we bring Miss Zhu with us? Are you attracted to her? Do you want to seal the deal with a kiss?"

Jun Yuyang slapped Xing Luo on the head, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

He glanced towards the door and listened carefully to make sure there was no one outside. He grabbed Xing Luo's neck and whispered in his ear:

"That girl is the granddaughter of Prime Minister Wei. She was persecuted by her aunt and father and was brought to Jiangnan and forced to marry her aunt's nephew.

We have to go back to the capital anyway, so why not escort her back as well?"

Xing Luo turned his head and raised his eyebrows, and asked in disbelief:

"That's it?

When did you become so kind-hearted?

Are you still caring about such trivial matters?"

Jun Yuyang sat down on the stool, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of water.

"of course not."

"Then why do you bring people with you?

If you want to escort her back to the capital, just tell the secret guards to send her back.

And he said he didn’t like her. ”

"Oh, if you say it's not, then it's not.

She has two account books in her hands, which are said to be her father's handles, involving many officials. "

Xing Luo turned around in shock, "Ah? Why are you so naive?

What if she has seen through your identity and deliberately framed you to get close to you? "

Jun Yuyang frowned and thought for a while and said:

"From what she said, it seems she didn't want to lie.

But in order to confirm the authenticity, we have to find a way to get her two account books and see for ourselves."

"This is easy to handle..."

In the second half of the night, all the guests in the inn had turned off the lights and went to rest.

Two dark shadows sneaked out of the guest room and squatted at the door of the next room.

Jun Yuyang poked Xing Luo with his arm.

Xing Luo took out a bamboo tube from his arms, poked a hole in the paper on the gatehouse, and blew a puff of white smoke into it.

The two waited outside the door for a cup of tea, used a knife to pry open the bolt, gently pushed the door open a crack, and slid into the house.
