Chapter 2093
There were several people sitting in the front hall of Prince Ji's mansion, four of whom were the four brothers of Wei Siyan. There were also a few others who were dressed in gorgeous clothes and had bright faces. They all looked like pampered people.
"Si Yan, you must speak a few good words for our Wei family later and persuade His Royal Highness Prince Ji, otherwise our Wei family may be in great trouble this time."
At this time, an elderly man spoke to Wei Siyan and the others.
"Uncle, we will naturally do our best for the Wei family's affairs, but..." Wei Siyan stopped talking here. They didn't want to interfere in this matter.
But due to the ties of fellow clan, there was no choice but to bring them here. These people were all elders from other branches.
The person who spoke was an elder of the Xijuan clan.
"Siyan, you can't make any mistakes in this matter, otherwise how are you going to explain to the clan when you go back?" The old man said in a firm tone.
The Xi family had caused such a big incident this time that they were blamed by members of several clansmen, and some even secretly pointed fingers at them.
The prestige of Xijuan plummeted. You know, Xijuan was the birthplace of the Wei family, and several branches were separated from Xijuan.
"Uncle, we are not sure about this matter. You also know that His Royal Highness Prince Ji always keeps his word. No one in this world except the Imperial Concubine can change His Royal Highness Prince Ji's decision."
Wei Siren spoke up for his brother. He knew that his brother would always be unable to save face and was thinking of their kinship.
"Do we need to look for the Imperial Concubine again?" The old man hesitated.
"Uncle, do you still want to find the Imperial Concubine? This time, His Royal Highness Prince Ji's punishment was because you, the Western Family, troubled the Imperial Concubine, and implicated me and other families.
Are you planning to use the same old trick again? Have you ever thought about how His Royal Highness Prince Ji will deal with us then?"
At this time, a middle-aged man with a frown interrupted, and there was another person following him, Wei Daijia, the son of Wei Ting.
The old man's face turned cold:
"Yuan Fang, do you mean to blame us, the Western Family? Don't forget that you, Xiaoyao Gongfang, also had a hand in this matter.
Now you are all blaming us, Xijuan. Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
"Uncle, you are wrong. There is no one from my Xiaoyaogongfang on the list. They are all from your Western and Eastern families.
At the beginning, Siyan and his brothers had already said that His Royal Highness Prince Ji forbad disturbing the Royal Concubine's peace and quiet, but you actually made the decision on your own and wanted to promote your people at the last minute.
Unexpectedly, we angered His Royal Highness Prince Ji, and now we all have to suffer together with your family.
You Xijia really have a good idea." Wei Daijia also joined in the condemnation.
His father died early, and now his family relies on him for support. He now fully understands the feelings of Wei Siyan and the others. Without the support of their parents, their status has plummeted.
Fortunately, he married the daughter of King Jiangxia Li Daozon, and got a position in the court, which also improved his relationship with the Prince Ji's Mansion.
As a result, all the efforts were wasted.
"Humph, I am Xi Juan for the sake of the family, in order to make the family further progress. Then you will all be the beneficiaries and receive the family's protection.
Now that you have lost profits, you blame me, Xi Juan, for everything. Why didn’t you say anything when you gained profits?”
A person next to the old man stood up and retorted indignantly.
As the two families glared at each other, another old man spoke up:
"Okay, everyone is not here to argue, but to discuss how to resolve this matter. The Wei family has continued to grow in recent years and has benefited greatly from cooperating with the Ji Palace.
It is true that we did something wrong this time and angered His Royal Highness Prince Ji. What we need to do is to calm His Royal Highness Prince Ji down, otherwise such a huge fortune will no longer be ours in the future."
"Everyone, my father is right. We were indeed at fault first, which is why His Royal Highness Prince Ji punished us. However, the Wei family is His Royal Highness Prince Ji's maternal family.
We sincerely repent, and we believe that His Royal Highness Prince Ji will forgive us for the sake of the Imperial Concubine."
A person beside the old man stood up and agreed.
Their words calmed both sides down and they stopped confronting each other.
The old man at the beginning looked at the four brothers of the Wei family again:
"Si Yan, what do you think? Can His Royal Highness Prince Ji forgive us?"
Wei Siyan sighed:
"Ah~~~~Uncle, I thought it was difficult."
"Siyan, you have a close relationship with King Ji, so you should say good things about the Wei family." The old man hurriedly advised after hearing this.
The youngest, Wesley, had remained silent the entire time, but after hearing what the old man said, his expression showed sarcasm, and he spoke for the first time:
"Uncle, you thought of us at this time? My brother is embarrassed to say that, but I want to ask, why is the name of my fourth sister's husband Yang Zhengben on the list?
Are you, Xijia, trying to use our Yungongfang as a cover? Why didn't anyone tell our Yungongfang about this?
It’s really wishful thinking that you still want us to speak for you now.
We have already said this when we came here, we are only introducing you here because we are of the same clan, we will not be involved in anything else."
"you....."
Wei Sili's questioning left the old man from the Western family speechless. They were indeed in the wrong.
"Okay, Sili, stop being rude." Wei Siyan stopped Wei Sili and saluted the old man from the Western Family.
"Uncle, I, the Duke of Yun, will not be involved in this matter. His Royal Highness Prince Ji is kind and filial, and we agree that he doesn't want anyone to disturb the Imperial Concubine.
That is our eldest sister. We hope that she will not be disturbed by anyone and enjoys her wealth and glory. You have gone too far this time."
Wei Siyan's face straightened. He remembered what Prince Ji had told him, that only Duke Fang of Yun was his relative.
At this moment in the inner room, Li Shen and his men stood there quietly listening to the conversation outside, with a sarcastic look on their faces.
Li Shen listened to everything the Wei family said from beginning to end.
"Go and report." Hearing Wei Siyan's words, Li Shen nodded slightly and gave an order to Shi Tou beside him.
"His Royal Highness Prince Ji has arrived~~~~~"
With a long groan, Li Shen, dressed in purple casual clothes, strode out from behind.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Ji." Everyone stood up and saluted together.
"No need to be polite, we are not strangers, please sit down and talk. Bring me some tea~~~"
Li Shen sat down and said to everyone.
"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Ji."
Everyone sat down, Li Shen looked at Wei Siyan with a smile on his face:
"Are there any business here today, uncles?"
Wei Siyan stood up and bowed:
"Please allow me to introduce you to Your Majesty." He introduced the old man who spoke first and the people beside him:
"Your Highness Prince Ji, this is the elder of the Xijuan clan, Wei Deqian, and this is Wei Huaijing, the founding duke of Qiongbu County.
This is the clan elder Wei Ke, and this is his son, the Palace Supervisor Wei Hongji.
Your Excellency should know this person. This is Wei Yuanfang, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites."
Wei Siyan began to introduce everyone to Li Shen one by one. Except Wei Daijia, Li Shen didn't know any of them.
(What happened today? Today is... a little late because it was windy outside.)
