Chapter 558: Keep your tail between your legs
Wei Lichu never liked playing with Sun Miaomiao. The people around her were all good-looking ladies from aristocratic families. She looked down on Sun Miaomiao, who was fat and stupid and couldn't even pass the college entrance examination.
She likes to wield swords and guns all day long and doesn't have the bearing of a noble lady at all.
I really don't know if Shen Sui'an is blind. He actually treats Sun Miaomiao as the main guest and lifts her up to such a high esteem. Isn't he afraid of her falling to death?
After the ceremony, Wei Lichu didn't want to go socialize with other people with Mrs. Wei, so he made an excuse and left.
"Chu'er, you haven't been out for a long time. I didn't expect you to come to support Sun Miaomiao." The noble ladies who were on good terms with Wei Lichu gathered around.
"That's right. I thought you were studying in the academy and didn't care about what was happening outside."
"You're almost coming of age, right? Will the princess be your guest of honor? You can't lose to Sun Miaomiao."
"..."
Wei Lichu listened to them talking one after another, his face terribly gloomy.
They used to follow Wei Lichu's lead and never dared to say anything against her. But now they dare to be sarcastic here.
"Who gave you the courage to speak sarcastically in front of me?" Wei Lichu asked coldly.
Miss Liu smiled and covered her mouth, "Chu'er, listen to your sister's advice. Suzhou is different now. It's no longer your Wei family that has the final say."
"Does it mean your Liu family has the final say?" Wei Lichu sneered.
"Chu'er, the princess said that Suzhou is so small that fighting and haggling will not bring any benefits. Our families are now following the princess, and things are much better than before." The girl from another family gently persuaded Wei Lichu.
"I give you a little benefit, but you don't even want your dignity anymore." Wei Lichu snorted.
Miss Liu rolled her eyes and said, "You are noble, so you should become a female official."
"Can you pass the exam?"
Snapped--
Wei Lichu was so angry that he slapped him.
"Why did you hit me?" Miss Liu screamed.
Before everyone could react, she had already pounced on Wei Lichu and grabbed her hair.
"Who do you think you are? You put on airs all day long. You can't even pass the exam to become a female scholar, and you still have the nerve to think of yourself as a talented woman."
No one expected that Miss Liu, who always followed Wei Lichu around, could be so brave and actually pull a hand of Wei Lichu's hair.
In chaos.
Finally, the ladies in the attic were alarmed.
Mrs. Wei looked at her daughter in astonishment. Her hair was disheveled, her clothes were torn, and there were red scratches on her face and arms...
If it weren't for that face, she would hardly have recognized him.
Miss Liu threw herself into Madam Liu's arms.
"Mother, she was the one who hit me first." Miss Liu burst into tears.
Wei Lichu's eyes were slightly red and his hands were clenched into fists.
"Hurry up and take the two girls downstairs to change their clothes." Madam Sun whispered to the servants.
His clothes were torn. If he walked out of the Sun family like this, who knows what kind of rumors would spread.
Shen Sui'an frowned slightly, "What happened?"
"We were just trying to persuade Sister Wei not to target Sister Sun like she did before, and she got so angry that she started beating Sister Liu." Several girls whispered about what happened.
Sun Miaomiao was stunned for a moment, then raised her dazed eyes. What? It was related to her?
"Wei Lichu used to bully Sister Sun."
"If we don't listen to her, she will isolate us."
Madam Sun was surprised and turned to look at Sun Miaomiao, "Is what they said true?"
Sun Miaomiao exclaimed, "I can't play with them either."
She likes to practice archery and whip skills, but doesn't like playing the piano, chess, calligraphy or painting. Wei Lichu doesn't like to play with her, and she doesn't like to play with them either.
Mrs. Wei knew her daughter's temper well, and thought that after being locked up in the academy for so long, she would be more restrained. She didn't expect that she would cause such a big trouble in the Sun family.
"Princess, I am sorry for not educating my daughter well." Mrs. Wei bowed her head and apologized.
Shen Sui'an glanced at her and said, "Madam Wei, I am just a guest today."
The implication is that she should apologize to Mrs. Sun.
"Madam Sun, I will definitely scold Chu'er and bring her to your house to apologize another day." Madam Wei felt bitter.
In the past, the Wei family had the final say in Suzhou, and everyone was willing to accommodate and flatter Wei Lichu. Now that the Wei family has lost power, no one is willing to be subservient to Wei Lichu. It is not surprising that Wei Lichu cannot see the situation clearly, so what happened today is not surprising.
Madam Sun held Madam Wei's hand and said, "Madam Wei, you are too kind. Miss Wei is still young, so just teach her well."
"You are young, so you can't hit others." Mrs. Liu snorted.
Madam Wei apologized to Madam Liu again.
Wei Lichu changed her clothes and came out, standing not far away, watching her mother apologize to Madam Liu in a humble manner.
She still remembered that not long ago, Mrs. Liu had to find ways to please her mother.
My mother never had to compromise like this in Suzhou.
"Sister Wei, open your eyes and look carefully. Who is in charge of Suzhou now? Do you still think it is your Wei family?" Miss Liu came up from behind her and bumped her shoulder heavily.
Wei Lichu's fingertips trembled a few times as she tried hard to hold back the tears in her eyes.
The chaos ended with Mrs. Wei's apology. Wei Lichu stood behind Mrs. Wei and apologized to Miss Liu.
She didn't say another word until she left the Sun family.
In the carriage, Mrs. Wei leaned exhaustedly against the soft pillow.
"Chu'er, let me ask someone to send you away from Suzhou." Mrs. Wei said in a low voice.
Wei Lichu raised her head abruptly, "Mother, where do you want me to go?"
"Go to your grandparents' house. Your grandmother will send you to the girls' academy in the royal capital." Mrs. Wei said.
If it were in the past, she would have been ecstatic to hear that her mother was sending her to the royal capital.
However, Wei Lichu didn't feel happy at all now.
"Mother, does our Wei family still have a status in Suzhou now?" Wei Lichu asked in a low voice.
Mrs. Wei looked at her with disappointment in her eyes.
"Do you think our Wei family should compete with the Regent's Palace in status? How?" Mrs. Wei asked in a deep voice.
"Over the years, your father and I have spoiled you too much, making you lose your mind and think you can do anything."
"Chu'er, you should leave Suzhou and see a wider world."
Wei Lichu bit her lip and choked up, "I just don't accept it. How dare they challenge me."
"Except for the status given to you by the Wei family, what kind of important figure are you? The Wei family has offended the regent from the beginning, and now the Sun family and the Liu family are on good terms with the princess."
"Why do they still want to please you?"
Madam Wei felt a pain in her forehead. If she had not offended the Regent's Palace at the beginning, she would not have had such a hard time.
There's no use regretting.
Even if the Queen Mother is in power now, will she still help the Wei family deal with her own son?
Don’t forget, in addition to the Regent, there is also the Emperor in Suzhou!
What else does the Wei family dare to do?
Just keep your tail between your legs!
