Chapter 265

Little did he know, these tricks were not enough in front of Cai Yong.

He was a ruthless person who had read all the books in his collection.

Talking to him about ancient language and rules was undoubtedly lifting a rock to drop on one's own feet.

"Did your Wei family not teach you the rules of respecting teachers and the Way?"

"I am speaking with the two lords, and even your master would have to listen obediently."

"Where is there any room for a servant like you to speak?"

Cai Yong scolded with a cold face.

Immediately, he looked at the person in charge of the Wei family this time, Wei Zhongdao's uncle, Wei Kai, and asked directly: "Are all the people who come out of the Wei family so lacking in rules?"

"Brother Bo Jie, please forgive me."

Wei Kai bowed and apologized first.

Afterward, he said coldly: "You dog of a servant, get out and kneel to slap your own mouth."

"Don't stop until I tell you to!"

The person who spoke just now didn't say much, walking straight out of the living room.

Soon, the crisp sound of slapping came from outside.

"Brother Bo Jie, please calm your anger."

"The servant doesn't understand the rules."

"However, I still hope Brother Bo Jie can agree to my Wei family's request."

"Brother Bo Jie, please rest assured, my Wei family will definitely not treat Wenji poorly."

Wei Kai said with certainty.

After Cai Yong heard this, a trace of disdain and indifference flashed in his eyes.

He naturally knew that the Wei family was putting on a show for him.

If they hadn't received permission from the master, would a mere servant dare to be so bold as to stand up and speak?

Of course, seeing through it without saying it was the way aristocratic families got along.

Just as Cai Yong was about to continue speaking,

Cai Wenji's voice came from outside: "I dare not agree with the Lord's words."

As soon as the words fell, she walked in with her sister, Cai Zhenji.

"Wenji, Zhenji, what are you two doing here? Quickly go back to your own rooms."

"Your father is here."

Cai Yong said hurriedly after seeing his two daughters.

When he didn't see them, he could find reasons and excuses to stall.

Now that he saw them, the Wei family definitely wouldn't let it go.

"This must be Wenji."

"Truly naturally beautiful, Brother Bo Jie, you are truly blessed."

Wei Kai said with a smile.

Having come to the Cai family so many times, this was the first time he had seen what Cai Wenji looked like.

Seeing her today, she was indeed as famous as her reputation!

"Long time no see, Niece Wenji is becoming more and more graceful."

Yuan Huai also praised her a couple of times.

Yang Ci nodded and didn't speak.

His status and seniority were not suitable for saying these things.

"Paying respects to the Grand Tutor, paying respects to the Grand Marshal."

Cai Wenji and Cai Zhenji said in unison.

Yuan Huai and Yang Ci nodded with a smile.

"What did Niece Wenji mean by what she just said?"

Wei Kai asked.

He didn't understand why Cai Wenji would say such things just now.

This made him a bit confused.

"Does the Lord's 'not treat poorly' mean you can hide the fact that Wei Zhongdao is suffering from a serious illness?"

Cai Wenji didn't continue with the pleasantries.

She stated the matter directly.

"What?"

"Serious illness?"

Yuan Huai and Yang Ci were also very shocked to hear this.

Wei Kai was very surprised.

How did the news of his nephew Wei Zhongdao's serious illness reach the capital?

And how did Cai Wenji know about it?

Wei Kai knew that things were ruined today!

Just as Wei Kai wanted to open his mouth to explain, Cai Wenji spoke again.

"Lord, no need to explain, and no need to say anything else."

"Just answer me: is Wei Zhongdao really seriously ill?"

"The Grand Tutor and the Grand Marshal are here."

"The Lord had better consider before answering."

"To save yourself from being implicated later."

When Cai Wenji spoke, she always maintained a smile on her face.

Her tone was also very flat.

Others heard it as soft and gentle, sounding very comfortable.

However, after Wei Kai heard it, he felt as if he were on the edge of an abyss, and his body was instantly soaked in sweat.

He knew that once this matter was hidden,

and it was investigated later, it would mean offending Yuan Huai, Yang Ci, and Cai Yong all at once. With the Wei family's current strength, there was simply no way to offend all three at the same time.

He hurriedly thought about what to do about this matter.

Yuan Huai and Yang Ci had already been invited; if he didn't give a reasonable explanation,

he would also offend both families!

Yuan Huai and Yang Ci, seeing this, had already confirmed that it seemed Wei Zhongdao was indeed seriously ill.

They thought they could facilitate a marriage.

They didn't expect it to almost ruin a girl.

Thinking of this, the two felt their faces burning.

If Wei Kai didn't give a reasonable explanation, they would definitely punish the Hedong Wei family severely.

With the power they held, this was simply easy.

Cai Yong was even more furious, directly starting to scold: "Wei Kai, your Wei family is truly heartless!"

"Actually wanting my daughter to marry someone suffering from a serious illness!"

"Could it be that you think I, Cai Yong, am easy to bully?"

Cai Yong scolded loudly.

At this time, he no longer cared about his image.

His daughter almost fell into a fire pit; he definitely couldn't bear it.

Wei Kai was very embarrassed.

He couldn't think of a good way for a moment.

Just as he was at his wit's end, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared before his eyes.

He realized that the last sentence Cai Wenji said just now was very meaningful.

Thinking along those lines, Wei Kai quickly thought of how to handle this matter, and he hurriedly said: "Brother Bo Jie, don't be angry."

"Grand Tutor, Grand Marshal, please listen to my explanation."
