Chapter 404 Come to the door
The door was closed and Su Jixiang could not see what was outside.
The maids and servants brought by Ruan were all scared silly.
Their mistress's hair bun was chopped off by a dagger that shone with a cold light, and fell down. The pearls and jades on her head fell to the ground. She was pale and stunned, like a mad woman.
Ruan's eyes widened and she felt her scalp go cold. She raised her hand to touch it, and found that a small piece of her hair had been cut off by the dagger close to her scalp. It was originally held by the rest of her hair, but as her hand touched it, the cut hair fell to the ground, and it was just a little bit away from cutting her scalp directly.
Ruan was about to scream, but when she looked down, she saw three copper coins nailed to her toes, tightly attached to the edge of her shoe. If she took another step forward, what would fly out of the door would not be copper coins, but something else that could cut off her feet...
Thinking of Wei Ling's warning voice just now, which was covered with icy chips, Ruan's scream was already at the tip of her throat, but she swallowed it back.
This man's methods are really cruel, he really knows how to kill! If I don't shut up, the next thing that flies over will not be as simple as cutting my hair!
It's not that she had never heard of Wei Ling's name, but she thought that since she was married to Wei Chengwu, she was at least the elder of the Wei family according to seniority. Besides, it was said that since there were almost no members of the Wei family left, Wei Ling was very kind to those who were lucky enough to survive. Even those from the side branches would receive a lot of financial support from him every year.
Ruan was proud of her status and thought that Wei Ling would not do anything extreme to her, but should respect her very much.
She came here this morning just to give Su Jixiang a warning.
She heard that Su Jixiang was originally a fire-making maid in the palace, and was sent to the border to be married to someone. However, she didn't know that Su Jixiang was so lucky that her partner was Wei Ling.
How could a palace maid who worked as a fireman marry the Marquis of Zhenbei and become his wife? She was the daughter of a scholar after all, but she could only marry an old man who was about to die.
She was dissatisfied in her heart, so she came to find trouble with Su Jixiang early in the morning.
Ruan always felt that since Wei Ling was kind to the people of the Wei family, then Wei Ling should agree with the rules she set for Su Jixiang.
After all, Su Jixiang is the daughter-in-law of the Wei family!
"Why don't you hurry up and get out of here?" Lu Shui said coldly, "Do you want our master to take action again?" She said to the frightened maids and servants following behind Ruan, "Why don't you hurry up and help your mistress away? Stop embarrassing yourself here!"
The maids and old women who followed behind Ruan finally woke up as if from a dream. They came forward one by one to pick up things and help others. After a chaos, Ruan, who had a small piece of hair cut off, was finally helped away. They also picked up all the pearls, jade and emeralds that she had dropped on the ground.
After the people left, Lushui and Guihua smiled at each other.
These people are really looking for trouble and are looking for death.
Ruan fled back to Fenghuaju in a panic, and only then did she dare to cry out loud.
Wei Chengwu had just finished his breakfast and was humming a little tune in the yard while teasing a little yellow warbler he had just brought back, when he saw Ruan Shi coming in with disheveled hair being helped in.
When Ruan saw Wei Chengwu, she immediately rushed to his side, knocking him back several steps before he was caught.
"Madam, Madam! You're going to break my old bones!" Wei Chengwu said, holding Ruan with one hand and his own waist with the other. "You were dressed up when you went out just now, how come you came back so soon? And with your hair disheveled?"
Wei Chengwu saw that Ruan was not in a good condition, so he quickly asked in a soft voice.
Ruan was disdainful of Wei Chengwu in her heart. She was just throwing herself into his arms, but this old man couldn't even catch her!
But her face was full of tears.
"Master! My husband!" Ruan cried, "Your nephew is not filial at all! Look at me, I just went there with good intentions to invite them to Fenghuaju to pay their respects to you in the morning, but they made things like this for no reason!" She burst into tears after she said that.
As soon as she started crying, the maids and servants following her immediately started to complain about Wei Ling and Su Jixiang, exaggerating the matter. They said that their mistress had gone to wake them up with good intentions, but they ended up giving her a beating through the door. Not only did they tell her to get out, they also threatened her that she would die if she didn't... and they even cut off a piece of her hair!
Wei Chengwu's heart skipped a beat and he immediately became furious.
He has finally got his life going smoothly and married a beautiful wife from a scholarly family. So Wei Ling is determined to make things difficult for him, right?
He is far away from the border, why does he need this house in the capital?
Also, as a junior, he actually bullied his elders and didn't care about the person he married.
Cutting hair? You should know that your hair and body are given by your parents. Cutting someone's hair is like chopping off their head!
This Wei Ling is really too arrogant!
"Then give me my crutch!" Wei Chengwu said to the servant behind him.
The servant quickly turned around and took the crutch that he was leaning against the wall.
Wei Chengwu ordered the maids to help Ruan to get up and put on her makeup again, then he took all the servants in the house and headed towards Pingletang in a menacing manner.
"Wei Ling, come out!" As soon as they arrived at Ping Le Hall, they saw that the door of Ping Le Hall was tightly closed.
Wei Chengwu shouted loudly.
The door was originally open, but because Ruan came and made a fuss, Lushui and Guihua simply closed the door to prevent any more people from disturbing the master and the lady's rest.
Who would have thought that in less than a cup of tea, someone else would come.
Lushui and Guihua looked at each other and felt a little worried.
Before, Ruan could ignore it, after all, no one knew where this random person came from.
But the one knocking on the door now was the great uncle of the family.
Lushui gave Guihua a wink, and Guihua nodded and had no choice but to go in and report.
After hearing Guihua's words, Su Jixiang rubbed Wei Ling's arms, "Get up. Your uncle is here to speak up for his wife." Su Jixiang said helplessly, "After all, he is a serious elder."
"Elder?" Wei Ling was dissatisfied and snorted, "Have you ever seen a proper elder seize the property of his nephew?"
"Don't you have one right here at home?" Su Jixiang said, trying not to laugh.
Wei Ling couldn't help but lower his head and gently bite Su Jixiang's cheek, "Yes, yes! I'm sorry to embarrass you!" He said through gritting his teeth.
Su Jixiang cried out softly after being bitten, "You! Are you angry already? Isn't it yours?" She smiled and pushed Wei Ling, "They have come to your door, you can't sleep anymore, just accept your fate! Get up."
