Chapter 121 The House of Righteousness
Wei Xiaohe, one of the major managers of the Wei family, was in the fifth clan.
He had a fat face with a rich smile and was always polite to anyone. Wei Cheng had no choice but to help him before, but at this moment he disappeared. After entering the signing room, he only looked at Wei Cheng, and then slapped him hard on the cheek of the nephew, making him stagger and almost fell to the ground.
"Wei Cheng, you are so brave. You dare to do this without hiding it from the clan! If Fang Dianli had not sent someone to inform me in time, you would have lost all my face!" What followed was a stern scolding. Wei Xiaohe was not in the county government office and had to behave properly. The voices were heard from the door, so that many people in the second hall could understand.
Wei Cheng was completely confused. He covered his swollen cheeks with one hand and looked at the fifth uncle opposite him in panic: "I..."
"Go back to me, I'll talk about anything when I've seen others. And you!" Wei Xiaohe turned his head and looked at Li Ling, who was also shocked by his aura. "When did you let your own decisions about my Wei family?"
Li Ling suddenly came back to his senses and looked at the county yamen officials on both sides who had become foils. He was surprised and his heart began to feel nervous. He really didn't expect that this matter would be known so soon by the Wei family. What he didn't expect was that their reaction would be so fierce that they actually killed him directly.
But even so, he didn't mean to be obedient. Just when Wei Xiaohe naturally wanted to turn around and take them out of the county government, he spoke: "Slow down!"
"Huh?" Wei Xiaohe's steps suddenly stopped and he slowly turned around: "I said, what do you have to say to the Hui tribe?"
"I am not a member of your Wei family, why should I listen to you? My sister is the same. She and Wei Cheng are going to terminate the relationship between husband and wife now and have no connection with you anymore. There is no need to follow this trip." As she said that, Li Ling's eyes fell on the officials beside him: "My messengers, we are just here to handle Heli's documents. You have asked just now that there is no mistake. Then please use a seal to pass it. Why did an outsider come here to point fingers and wipe out the face of the county government!"
His words changed, and he was about to scold him for being bold, but he saw Li Ling take out the wooden sign of the student with him and put it on the table. This made them really hard to scold him, so he could only say, "Young Master Li, right? What's wrong with your words. Although marriage is the business of his husband and wife, it is still a good match for both families after all, so..."
Wei Xiaohe also smiled at this time, but the smile was not polite, but with deep ridicule: "Li Ling... I have heard of you, you are from Jiangcheng County, right?"
"That's right, she is my sister, and now she wants to break away from your Wei family." Li Ling looked at him without any retreat, and his words were even more decisive.
"Hey, it's so domineering. But you're right. The couple and divorce are the two of them, but what if one person regrets it at this time? I'm afraid that this marriage will not be separated, right?"
"What do you mean?"
Wei Xiaohe immediately glanced at Wei Cheng, and the latter slammed: "I..."
"What, do you want to disobey the family's meaning?" Wei Xiaohe's words slowly came out, but they pressed on Wei Cheng's shoulders like a mountain, which made his body collapse suddenly, and he immediately said, "No... I dare!" But he deliberately regretted it.
"Young Master Wei, you didn't tell me that before, and don't forget..."
"Then you go out." Without waiting for Li Ling to say the threatening words, Wei Xiaohe had waved his hand to Wei Cheng, who quickly turned around like an amnesty, and ran out without looking back.
Li Ling was really stunned. Unexpectedly, he had inquired from many sources and the plan he had prepared was defeated by Wei Xiaohe's words. Then Wei Cheng would rather expose those dirty things in public than dare to go against the family's intentions.
"Please ask me to avoid it for the time being, and let me have a good talk with Mr. Li." Wei Xiaohe showed a polite and festive smile at this time, and turned to bow to the officials. The people said they didn't dare to say that they gave a greeting, looked at Li Ling and the others, and then they left the room one after another, and closed the door.
Good guy, this person is so arrogant in the county government, and he has instantly turned his back on the spot and becomes the person who is the one here. This behavior makes Li Ling's heart even tighter and his brows slowly locked up.
At this time, Wei Xiaohe became calm and naturally picked up a chair and sat down. He looked at Li Ling and smiled and said, "Young man, some things are not something you can do whatever you want. My Wei family is in Jiangbei and finally has some face. Moreover, Wei Cheng is a member of this clan, so he naturally has to obey the arrangements of me, the elder."
Li Ling took a deep breath and smiled bitterly: "I just don't understand one thing. This is obviously the family matter of his husband and wife. Why do you have to come and obstruct him?"
"Family affairs? That's also a big deal for my Wei family! You should have heard of the name of my Wei family, do you know what everyone calls us outside?"
"I know, the family of righteousness!"
"Do you know what kind of integrity is righteousness?" Before Li Ling answered, he had already said himself, "The righteousness is loyal to the minister, filial to the son, and chastity to the wife! The righteousness means being responsible and not doing wrong things! It's not that I brag about myself, my Wei family has been established for decades, but I have never had a man who violated the law or a daughter who remarried again. This is why I have the reputation of integrity and righteousness! Do you understand what I mean?"
After listening to his story, Li Ling's eyes shrank again, and Li Le'er's face turned pale. They all understood that the other party's meaning of saying this was to point out that the Wei family would never allow Wei Cheng and Li Le'er to be separated! With the Wei family's reputation and connections in the local area, they could indeed do this. Only from what just happened, the clues could be seen.
Seeing that the two of them had already understood what they meant, Wei Xiaohe's tone slowed down again: "Li Le'er, you and Wei Cheng have been married for several years and have daughters. Even though he really shouldn't have been able to bear the burden of the head of the family over the years, it's not a reason for you to leave him alone.
"But since the clan already knows this, he will not stand idly by. Wei Cheng is also a little talented and talented, and he happened to be a teaching position in the clan school before, so I will continue to stay. When will I go to the provincial examination, the clan will also help him. As long as you live peacefully and no longer think about these things, if you have any needs in the future, you can come to me and I will try my best to help you. How about it?"
First, he was hard, and directly showed his strength. Then he was soft, moved him with emotion and reason, and promised to help Wei Cheng establish his career. It can be said that Wei Xiaohe's approach was extremely appropriate, which made people unable to find any fault.
Even Li Ling was a little uncomfortable at this moment. Could it be useful to tell his sister that she was abused by Wei Cheng at home or Wei Cheng’s dirty things? The former would definitely comfort Li Le’er and persuade him to endure it and then pass. As for the latter, I’m afraid he would only say that it was nonsense. His Wei family is a family of righteousness and will never have any descendants to do such things.
Moreover, Li Ling was worried that there would be no room for maneuver after he said this, and he would not even have the last card used to grasp Wei Cheng, so he could only silently and not say anything more.
Seeing this, Wei Xiaohe persuaded him earnestly, then stood up and said, "Then let's go back. After a few days, the clan will have its own arrangements."
Li Le'er was a little confused, so she let Li Ling support her and went out without much reaction. At this time, Wei Cheng had long disappeared, and it seemed that she had been called by the Wei family.
Seeing this, Li Ling's eyebrows twitched again. With the power of the Wei family, if he is asked about it, he may not be able to hide anything. Then wouldn't he be...
"Brother Ling, why don't you go back first. I think after this incident, Wei Cheng will be restrained in the future. Since I am married, I really can't really make things worse..." Li Le'er, who walked out of the county government and came back to his senses, suddenly suggested.
"Sister..." Li Ling looked at the weak woman, and some messy scenes suddenly flashed through her mind. They were some scenes when her sister took care of her young self. She gave in to herself everything. As long as it was what she wanted, she would not refuse, even if she would feel wronged...
But the original Li Ling took all this for granted. Instead, she always shouted and quarreled with her sister because of a trivial matter, and even attacked her... But her sister was always so gentle, always comforting herself, and never complained to her father...
An unspeakable feeling of guilt kept ariseing from Li Ling's heart. Although it was not his own to do those things, he had the responsibility to make up for it. He could no longer let his sister continue to be wronged and continue to be occupied by that disgusting guy! His sister should have a better future!
"Don't worry, sister will be fine. Sister has you and Yue'er, and Tangtang is there..." Li Le'er was still making a promise, but was interrupted by Li Ling's words: "No, sister, you must not go back again! I can't trust their promise, and even more so Wei Cheng. He dared to treat you like this at the beginning, but now we have exposed everything, do you think he will treat you well? He only thinks of revenge, even if he swore to be honest in the face of everyone in the family today, but after going back, where is there only you and him?
