General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming novel Chapter 233

233 Grandparent and Grandchild(2)

Wei Ting’s expression did not change. “…Yes.”

Matriarch Wei wanted to see the three children, but when she thought of the situation in the capital, she felt that there was no harm in waiting a little longer. Anyway, she had already waited for two to three years. A few days did not matter.

Old Madam Wei continued, “I heard from your Fifth Sister-in-law that you ruined a girl?”

Wei Ting smiled. “No, Fifth Sister-in-law has misunderstood.”

!!

“It’s best if it’s a misunderstanding. Don’t provoke some shady women outside before you get married!”

“Grandmother, do I look like that kind of person?”

“You don’t look like one,” Matriarch Wei said. “You are.”

Wei Ting was speechless. He really couldn’t be blamed for his vicious tongue since it ran in the family.

Old Madam Wei did not dwell on this topic for long. “Your cousin’s family is here to mention your marriage again. They’re asking when you’ll renounce asceticism.”

Wei Ting said, “His Majesty didn’t issue a decree…”

“Do you really care about that decree?” Matriarch Wei knew this grandson too well. The Emperor had been choked by him for a moment and could not back down. If he really wanted to renounce asceticism, there were many ways.

“Princess Lingxi has already asked for the Empress Dowager’s decree. If you give the nod, the Empress Dowager will immediately exempt you from cultivation. Why? Are you unwilling?”

Wei Ting restrained the casualness and unruliness between his eyebrows and said seriously, “Grandmother, I can’t marry her.”

Old Madam Wei said, “Are you the one who doesn’t want a prenatal marriage? Princess Hui An has taken a fancy to you and wants you to be her husband. You naturally can’t be a prince consort. Not to mention that you’re unwilling, even if you’re willing, I won’t agree.”

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the son-in-law could not enter the dynasty as an official. This meant that Wei Ting would relinquish his position as a general and hand over his military power.

“You’re someone Princess Hui An has taken a fancy to. Whoever dares to marry you will have to fight with her for the husband. Other than Princess Lingxi, there’s no one else who dares to offend Princess Hui An.”

Wei Ting said calmly, “I wasn’t the one who was betrothed to Princess Lingxi before she was born.”

Old Madam Wei said coldly, “Yes, it’s your Sixth Brother! But Sixth Brother is gone! As the only man in the Wei family, you, Wei Ting, should shoulder this marriage!”

Wei Ting was silent.

After a long time, he looked into Matriarch Wei’s eyes and said shamelessly, “Grandmother, I’m impotent.”

Matriarch Wei was speechless.

–

Outside the door, Madam Jiang, Madam Lan, and Madam Chen lay at the door sneakily. They either pressed their ears against the crack or pressed their eyes into it.

“What are you guys doing?”

A stern voice suddenly came from behind. The three of them were shocked and stood up in unison. They turned around and greeted him awkwardly.

“Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law.”

The person who spoke just now was Sister-in-law Chu.

The person who came with her was Second Sister-in-law, Madam Li.

Madam Chu was unsmiling. At home, other than Old Madam Wei, she was the most dignified.

She asked, “Is Little Seven back?”

Madam Jiang whispered, “He’s talking to Grandmother inside.”

Madam Chu glanced at the three of them, who clearly had strange expressions. “What’s wrong with you? Your expressions are so strange.”

Fourth Sister-in-law, Madam Lan, said with red eyes, “Sister-in-law, Little Seven…”

Madam Chu frowned. “What happened to him?”

Madam Lan choked. “He’s impotent… No wonder he’s not close to women even though he’s so old…”
