Chapter 3679 Riding a Tiger and Being Difficult to Dismount
Wei Heng shook his head and sighed for a long time: "Madam, I am not a cruel father who must force my daughter to get married. It's just that the marriage has been decided..."
"In my opinion, this marriage should not have been decided in the first place. Although it is the matchmaker's words and the parents' orders, I don't expect the daughter I gave birth to to climb to any high branches. She just needs to respect each other as a guest and live a stable life. .”
"Why don't I want my daughter to live a good life? But we have no control over this matter." Wei Heng sighed heavily and raised his hand to rub his eyebrows.
Mrs. Xu felt heartbroken when she saw her husband was so upset.
"How many things have you done for Prince Nanping over the years? Why is he still forcing us like this? I originally thought that the second young master would be a good man and that his daughter would become the first wife by marrying him, which would be considered a high achievement. But I didn't expect that this person is not married yet. , He treated his daughter like this. If he really gets married in the future... I really can't think of it." Mrs. Xu cried again as she spoke.
Wei Heng said: "There are some young masters from these aristocratic families who are easy to get along with. It is good to have wives and concubines. But don't worry too much. As long as the prince of the county still values me, the second young master will not dare to go too far."
Xu said: "Although I am just a woman and don't understand the affairs of the court. But I think what my daughter said is somewhat reasonable. Master, as officials, we owe allegiance to your majesty, not to the prince. Either Can you please stop following the county prince?"
Wei Heng smiled bitterly: "Some things are not as simple as you think. Madam knows that I come from a poor family, with no family background and no foundation. The reason why I can go from a small job to what I am today is all because of the support of the county prince. Over the years, you have followed me and suffered a lot, and I am sorry for you."
Mrs. Xu leaned against him gently and whispered: "Master, why are you saying these things? When I marry you, I will become one with you. I will do as you do. But our daughter...she is not alive or dead now." If she is willing to marry, are we really going to force her to marry?"
Wei Heng sighed: "There is really nothing I can do. From the day I started my official career, I have been marked by the Nanping County Prince's Palace. Even if I break off the engagement now and fall out with the County Prince, in the eyes of others, I am still Nanping County." The people in the palace have become dissatisfied on both ends."
"Will this happen?"
"By then, not only will others not want to see me, but the Prince of Nanping County will also not be polite to me. How will our family survive?"
"So serious?" Xu's heart trembled.
Wei Heng sighed: "People say that women should stay together forever, but for us officials, how can it be the same? The prince of the county has been kind to me and promoted me. Now he has asked the second son to marry Hongluan. , in the eyes of outsiders, it can be said that they value me very much. If I don't know what to do, I will only be pointed at my nose and scolded. This is secondary. At worst, I will not be an official. Our family can live in a simple life. Go down. But if I want to endanger the lives of a whole family, I will..."
He didn't go on.
However, Mrs. Xu understood that the Wei family was already riding a tiger and was unable to get off.
He can only hang out with the county prince.
Even if the county prince really wanted to rebel, they would have no choice but to follow suit.
Who told him that Wei Heng was just an ant, not strong enough and could only be driven by others.
Over the years, Wei Heng has rarely said these words.
He is that kind of extremely traditional man. If he has any difficulties, he always works hard outside. When I come home, I rarely talk to my wife and daughter about any difficulties.
