Dominate the ancient academy

Chapter 344 Don’t you know that you should pick on the weak ones?

"Dad... I didn't mess with her. Just because of a few pieces of watermelon, which my son had bought with money, she asked me to spit it out. Dad, you can't let her go."

"Watermelon?" Lord Teng looked at Lord Ye suspiciously. If it was because of something else, it might really be Lord Ye's fault. After all, he was not someone you would mess with, and he had a bad temper. It was normal for them to fight over a disagreement, but when it came to watermelon...

The old marquis, who had also eaten the watermelon, said that he had been asking about the ripening time of the watermelon. The watermelons at the Sinong Department would still take some time to ripen. If watermelons appeared in Kyoto, they could only be grown by Marquis Ye himself.

I haven't heard about Lord Ye selling watermelons, otherwise he would have already booked them. How could his son buy watermelons from Lord Ye in advance? He is not the Sixth Prince, but he is just a senior brother. Whatever new things Lord Ye grows, the Sixth Prince can taste them in advance.

Even though his son had been to the battlefield, he knew clearly what his son was capable of. His original wife was his cousin. She had been in poor health after giving birth and died when the child was three or four years old. He later remarried and had his current wife.

The mother was afraid that the next wife would mistreat her grandson, so after the second wife came into the family, Sheng'er was raised by her side and spoiled very much. If it wasn't for the fact that he could inherit the title conveniently and establish a marquisate in the future, she would have cruelly sent him to the border to gain military merit. Now, he might still be a dandy boy.

Could it be that he was trying to snatch the watermelon from Lord Ye and got beaten?

"Did Lord Ye take the initiative to sell that watermelon to you?" the old marquis asked directly.

Fujiki Sheng:.............

"Dad, you are not my dad anymore. Regardless of whether she took the initiative to sell it to me or not, it is wrong for her to hit someone for a piece of watermelon, right?"

The old marquis glanced at him. Marquis Ye was also a notorious devil. There were so many people in Kyoto who had fought with her. Not to mention his silly son, even the princes and young princes had been beaten by her. Isn't it normal to beat people for a piece of watermelon?

"Did you buy the watermelon?" If I bought it, it would not be a loss. It's such a big watermelon, and the rest should not be finished. I can give it to you as a gift to you.

"No..., it was taken back. Dad, I was beaten, won't you seek justice for me? Why are you still talking about the watermelon?" Teng Qisheng couldn't believe that he was still on the side of his dad.

"Okay, you forced a sale and got beaten, what can I do? Don't you know that you should pick on the weak ones? You picked the hardest one and got beaten, what can I do? I won't get involved in your affairs, young people."

Firstly, they are not in the right in this matter, and secondly, Lord Ye is not someone who would stand still and allow others to bully him. He has a strong backing, so if you are not sure, don't get into trouble.

If the matter gets out of hand, the Emperor won't stand on their side. What else is there to say? Just take it as a lesson learned.

"You should have arranged everything for that woman, so you should stay in the mansion first and prepare. We should go to the Duke Xun's mansion to propose marriage, and your wedding should be arranged. If there is nothing else, don't leave the mansion to avoid unnecessary trouble."

There is no way the future Crown Prince's Consort could be an orphan of unknown origin. This son is already mediocre enough, and he must have a presentable mistress so that he can feel at ease.

His son was spoiled. If he hadn't been helping with the sketching, his reputation for being unlearned would have spread long ago. Now it seems that he hasn't made much progress after his trip away, and he still has to worry about him.

"Dad............" Seeing his father's unquestionable eyes, Teng Qisheng could only stiffen his neck and say, "You can marry a wife, but Wu'er must be a co-wife. As long as you agree, I agree to marry a wife."

This was what he promised Wu'er. Wu'er said that if it was just her, she would be willing to follow him without any official status, not to mention being his co-wife. Anyway, she liked him as a person and didn't care about anything else. But what would they do if they had children in the future? With the status of a concubine's child, others would look down on them when they go out.

Therefore, for the sake of their future children, she must have a proper status, otherwise it would be unfair to their future children.

Teng Qisheng understood her worries very well. Since ancient times, legitimate children have been respected and commoners have been inferior.

This difference between legitimate and illegitimate children is like an insurmountable gap. The legitimate son is the legitimate master, and the family's resources will basically be tilted towards the legitimate son, while the illegitimate son's status is sometimes even lower than that of the inferior.

So she must fight for a future for their future children. Teng Qisheng felt that what Wu'er said made a lot of sense. Wu'er was his beloved woman, and their children were naturally what he looked forward to very much. They were the fruit of their love. He was not happy to think that their children would be excluded and looked down upon when they went out in the future. Therefore, Wu'er must be a co-wife, so that their children would not be inferior to others in the future.

The old marquis took a deep breath and said, "I said it's impossible. If you really like her, just keep her outside first. When you get married, you can take her in as a concubine. As for a co-wife, don't even think about it."

Why do I feel that this rebellious son has not only not improved after going out for some experience, but has become even more stupid? Oh, if I had known earlier, I should not have let my mother spoil me like that. I have to take this opportunity to change my temper.

"Come here, send the young master back to his yard. When he gets back, you will keep him under guard. During this time, let him reflect on his behavior in the yard. The young master is not allowed to come out without my permission."

"Yes!"

"Dad...Dad..., if you don't agree to me, it's useless to lock me up. I must marry Wu'er." Teng Qisheng shouted.

The old marquis had a headache, "Hurry up and send him back to the yard. You guys keep watch over him. If the young master is missing, I'll only ask you guys!"

And he wants to have a concubine? What kind of crazy idea is he thinking? Is he just a vegetarian in the Duke of Xun's Mansion? Or is he really going to heaven? He dares to think of anything.

Seeing the master waving his hand, the servant who was waiting on the side hurriedly dragged the young master back to the yard.

It seems that they need to correct themselves during this period of time. They should be starved or beaten. Starving themselves is not good for their health. Otherwise, they should be beaten a few times. There were many unlearned boys in Kyoto before, who were afraid of being beaten. Now they have changed a lot, and they have achieved academic success. They seem to have been reborn. Who can still imagine what they were like before?

Maybe his son also needs a beating?

Well, then beat him. He would beat him with his own hands and control the strength. A doctor would be waiting beside him. He would go to the hospital for treatment after beating him, and then beat him again after he was cured. He would tell him when to change his words and when to stop. He would beat him until he changed his words. After all, this kid had not been a man of great willpower since he was young. After thinking of a solution, the old marquis also relaxed.

And this Lord Ye, his son had just returned after all, but he beat someone up just because of a few pieces of watermelon. Even if the watermelon was scarce, it was just a watermelon. Sheng'er had returned from the battlefield after all, and he had never beaten a kid. This beating, not to mention the physical pain, would also damage his reputation!

Lord Ye is not giving Wenchang Marquis Mansion any support! Even if his son is not doing well, no one else can help him! Where does this put Wenchang Marquis Mansion?

The old marquis drank his tea quietly.
