MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 214 Move your mind

 The excitement in the front hall is not too much if there is more Shang Qilang, but not too much if there is one less of him.

 So no one noticed his departure. Soon, news came from the backyard that Wei Jialian was coming.

 Everyone stood and watched, and soon Wei Jialian appeared in front of everyone.

Wei Jialian is naturally beautiful, and after being so carefully dressed, she is even more stunning.

　　Many young masters from aristocratic families are greedy for this beauty, and the eyes of the fourth prince seem to have some unusual and unfinished meaning.

Ambition and **** are never the characteristics of any one person, but are the common characteristics of everyone.

Wei Jialian saw that everyone in the room admired her beauty, and the vanity in her heart was greatly satisfied.

The eldest lady of the Wei family who was following her was also very proud. Who wouldn't be happy to see her daughter standing out like this?

Today’s guest of honor is Princess Fu.

Although she is of the same generation as Wei Jialian, in terms of status and identity, she is the best choice that the Wei family can find.

Originally they wanted to invite Princess Yuehua, but since the last banquet at the General's Mansion, Princess Yuehua's body has become a little out of shape, so even if Princess Fu paid a visit in person, they could not invite her over.

 So, she could only go up by herself.

 Everything follows the rules, and Wei Jialian has become the well-deserved focus.

There are naturally some who are envious and some who are jealous among the female relatives, but in this case, everyone can control their emotions, so no trouble is caused.

It was not until the ceremony was over that the fourth prince smiled and said something.

“It is a blessing for the Wei family to have a daughter like this.”

Hearing this, Wei Jialian showed a rare shyness, and Wei Taiwei's eyes flashed with a shrewdness, but it quickly disappeared.

On the contrary, Mrs. Wei family was slightly worried after hearing this.

 In her expectation, the fourth prince had never been included in the ranks of "son-in-law".

 Because he already has a main concubine, even if Wei Jialian can marry, she will only be a side concubine, and she may not have any chance of getting ahead.

 Hence, she was somewhat repelled by the fourth prince's words.

　　But after all, she did not have the final say in the Wei family, and there was no use in rejecting her. She could only act according to orders.

She glanced at several princes and princes, and if she really wanted to talk about it, the one she cared about the most was Prince Bin.

 With the gentle breeze and bright moonlight, who looks at the handsome young master and is not moved?

However, she is her, and Wei Jialian is Wei Jialian. If the Zongli incident had not happened, Wei Jialian might have been able to listen to her mother's words and find a prince to establish a relationship.

 But now, since the four princes have extended their olive branches, why doesn’t she accept them?

 Everywhere the eyes turn, there is style.

The fourth prince raised the corner of his mouth and saw Wei Jialian's thoughts.

 The two of them developed some inexplicable feelings under the eyes of everyone.

 It was not until the evening that the guests left Wei Mansion one after another.

Mrs. Wei wanted to stay at her parents' house and have dinner before going back. After hearing this, Shang Yukuan felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he took the children and left first.

In the study room, Mrs. Wei and her brother Wei Mingxian were both standing in front of Captain Wei. It was a rare occasion for father and son to be together in one place, but their expressions were more serious than the others. The incense in the copper beast incense burner was still faintly smelling, but it did not eliminate the somewhat cramped atmosphere.

"The General's Mansion is so disrespectful to the Wei family, and the Guo family and we have never been at odds with each other. Father, it seems that it is completely hopeless to join the prince's party. Since the fourth prince has thrown a branch over, shall we accept it?"

Wei Mingxian analyzed the situation and said.

 He is not stupid either, so he naturally understands what the fourth prince means.

　　Compared to the prince, the chances of winning for these four princes are indeed not that great. They are just relying on the imperial concubine to gain some power in front of His Majesty.

 But the current situation is that once the prince comes to power, the Wei family will become a thing of the past.

Wei Taiwei is already old, and he can no longer serve in the court for two years. However, the Wei family still has descendants and relatives, so how will they get along with themselves?

 So, are you going to turn against the Fourth Prince and take a chance on this unknown future? Or just stay silent and try to preserve the wealth and peace of the Wei family for decades.

 Both father and son were silent and did not give an accurate answer.

 But Mrs. Wei also had her own thoughts in mind after hearing this.

She and the General's Mansion are at a fight to the death, and what she wants most now is to seize the position of the young prince and ensure the prosperity of the family's descendants from generation to generation.

So he spoke.

“My daughter has something to say, but I don’t know whether to say it or not?”

“They are all from my own family, as long as my sister says so.”

 The relationship between Wei Mingxian and Mrs. Wei has been good since childhood, and both of them are now the principals in their respective houses, so they have close contact on weekdays.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wei opened her mouth without hiding anything.

"If you want your daughter to say that you should go out and compete for the top, the Wei family is not the only one who has to fight against the storm. Don't forget that there is support from Prince Fu's Mansion and Duke Guo's Mansion, and Qilang is about to be born in spring, etc. If he joins the court and becomes an official, we must find a good marriage for him."

“My daughter wants to find a royal relative, a princess or a princess. When the time comes, won’t our momentum be increased a lot?”

 In a family like theirs, the in-laws of their children have always been pawns in the game.

The Wei family has been in the government for decades. Although it is not as powerful as the Guo family, it is not a rootless family.

Therefore, Mrs. Wei's words gave both Wei Taiwei and his son some ideas. However, they both relied on caution to reach their current positions as officials in the court. Naturally, they would not do it because of Mrs. Wei's few words. , he really turned against the fourth prince.

 At least, not now.

"After today, anyone who is interested in Jia Lian will send a greeting card. Let's take a look at it then. The Fourth Prince's move is always a risky move. There is no need to rush into it before the situation is clear."

Although Wei Taiwei is old, he is not stupid, and what he says naturally makes sense.

Wei Mingxian will definitely obey, but Mrs. Wei feels that her father is old and timid, so although she looks obedient and obedient, she actually has other thoughts in her heart.

They don’t want to get involved, and it seems that the girl Jialian doesn’t want to.

Therefore, she only needs to focus on her niece. When she and the fourth prince become inseparable, then the Wei family will not be able to get on the fourth prince's boat.

I have to say that Mrs. Wei was in danger of making some dangerous moves after being constantly stimulated by the General's Mansion.

  It was probably the smooth life for so many years that gave her some inexplicable self-confidence, and she always felt that this was how she should be.
