The real daughter is really not a human being
Chapter 78: Just Treat It as a Relative Who Is Asking for Money
On the way in the carriage, Wei Qichen briefly introduced the current Wei family to Yaoguang.
The Wei family has three branches, and the head of the family now is the old lady of the first branch. He and Yaoguang's father are from the second branch, and their parents have passed away long ago.
The son of the third wife is an official outside, and only his family is left at home.
There are five males and six females in his generation.
The first branch of the family has many children, including two sons and four daughters, who are the eldest and second masters of the mansion.
The second wife is his and Yaoguang's deceased father.
The third room has one boy and two girls.
Yaoguang's aunts were all married and moved to different places in the capital.
Now that she is the old lady of the main house in the mansion, Yaoguang should call her aunt.
The carriage arrived in front of Wei Mansion, and Wei Qichen led the two to the main courtyard.
The maids and servants they met along the way were all wearing new dyed fabrics, which were much better than the coarse cloth worn by the grandmother and granddaughter.
If Sun had not walked around the street a few times earlier and learned a little about the world by listening to the conversations of passers-by, and knew that maids in wealthy families all dressed like this and held something in their hands, she would have almost thought that they were Yaoguang's relatives and would have gone up to say hello.
Sun held Yaoguang's hand, and her palms were sweating.
Although she thought that Yaoguang's relatives were very powerful, Sun became more and more unsure after going through this journey.
Such a big house, with a few empty brick walls and so many flowers and trees. It's such a waste to just build walls without living in it.
Wei Qichen led the two of them all the way to the outside of the main courtyard. He seemed to be worried that Yaoguang and Sun would be nervous, so he spoke to comfort them: "Don't be afraid, Yaoguang, there are your relatives in there."
The sound of women talking inside the house could be faintly heard outside, as if some people were talking and laughing.
After the three of them entered the room together, everyone's eyes in the room fell on them, especially Yaoguang behind Wei Qichen.
Seeing Yaoguang's attire, several women sitting on the chairs exchanged glances with each other, and they couldn't stop smiling.
Some of the younger girls covered their lips and sneered, while others even burst out laughing.
Hearing the laughter, Wei Qichen frowned in displeasure.
He bowed to the old lady in the main seat and said, "Aunt, I brought Yaoguang back."
Madam Wei nodded, with no joy on her face. She just raised her hand and said, "Ask the nanny to bring the person here for me to see."
Immediately, the nanny who served Song came to Yaoguang, made a gesture of invitation, and asked Yaoguang to come forward.
"please…"
Yaoguang gently squeezed Sun's hand, then let go and walked forward.
He followed the nanny and walked in front of Song, his eyes fell on her.
Facing Yaoguang's blank gaze, Song immediately felt unhappy! How could a girl stare at her elders like that! Even an uneducated person would be shy!
This girl doesn't even know how to behave politely.
But then Song thought again and felt something was wrong.
"How old are you?"
"Nine years, ten months and twenty-one days." Yaoguang answered strictly according to her birthday.
"Can you read?"
"recognize."
Song suddenly realized that how could a girl answer like that? She was actually a fool! The third girl looked similar to her father, but it was a pity that she didn't have a good brain.
The old woman who raised her was also dressed in rough clothes. She must be a girl raised in the countryside, not presentable enough.
"Fourth Brother, what are your plans?" Song asked.
It was just a maid in the mansion, not a big deal. The mansion had so many servants, so there was no shortage of a maid.
Wei Qichen cupped his hands and said, "Aunt, since my brother's bloodline has been found, it must be recorded in the family tree and recognized as my Wei family."
To record the family tree, we need to build a clan temple. It is not worth it for such a silly girl, not to mention that there is a daughter who has been raised properly in the mansion.
Even though he is not of the Wei family's blood, he still put a lot of thought into it and even arranged a marriage with a family in Beijing.
"Have you told Shiyuan about this? Besides, Shiyuan and the Xu family have already been engaged. If this happens, the Xu family might cancel the engagement. In my opinion, forget it and just treat her as a cousin raised in the countryside. This mansion can give her more dowry and find her a good marriage in the future. This will be enough to protect her for half her life."
This is what the Song family had thought of long ago!
Children in the countryside would go to work in the fields as soon as they could walk. How could they learn manners while doing rough labor? Not to mention learning to read?
Their family is a serious scholarly family. If people knew that there was a vulgar girl who couldn't even write properly in the mansion, they would definitely be laughed at!
After discovering that Yaoguang was a fool, she would never record Yaoguang in the family tree! The Wei family's reputation cannot be lost on a fool!
"Aunt, I've already told Shiyuan that I will take Shiyuan to the Xu family to apologize! Yaoguang is the only blood of my third brother. She has suffered a lot for many years. I will not leave her alone!"
"If my third brother and his wife knew about this, they would definitely be happy for Yaoguang's return home..."
Song didn't want to listen to Wei Qichen's nagging, so she rubbed her forehead and said, "Madam Gui, my headache is terrible! Bring me the medicine quickly..."
The nanny serving beside Song hurriedly took out a small porcelain bottle. Song took the bottle, put it under her nose and sniffed gently, as if to relieve her headache.
"Aunt..." Wei Qichen was about to speak, but Mrs. Yu beside him interrupted, "Recording the family tree is a big deal, and I need to discuss it with the elders in the mansion. It's getting late, so I should take Yaoguang and settle her down quickly."
Yu was Song's eldest daughter-in-law, so Wei Qichen had to respectfully call her sister-in-law.
It was indeed getting late, and lanterns had already been lit in the mansion. Wei Qichen did not force it anymore, and took Yaoguang to recognize the relatives in the mansion, and then took the two of them back to the courtyard of the second house.
Seeing someone step out of the courtyard gate, the main hall suddenly became lively again.
"It is always a happy event that the Third Master's bloodline has been found. You should be happier, old ancestor, and stop frowning all the time."
"Why should I be happy? A little girl like that! Just treat her as a relative who came from the countryside to beg for money, not as a legitimate mistress of the mansion. If she makes a fool of herself, it will bring shame to the mansion..."
"The fourth son is a confused man who keeps looking for trouble every day. He gave up his job as an official and wanted to be a teacher. Now he doesn't even want his own child anymore and wants a wild girl from outside. I don't know who he looks like."
"The two wives from the second house left early, and the two masters from the second house were not restrained. Instead, it was you, the old ancestor, who taught the first and second masters so well. I went out to a banquet a few days ago, and I heard other ladies envy our house..."
Everyone surrounded Song and flattered her, and soon she was smiling from ear to ear.
