Chapter 80: Changing Backers

But now, she wanted to see if the five people could eat them if they just didn't give in.

Shang Yukuan was in a dilemma and turned to look at Madam Wei.

Unfortunately, Madam Wei lowered her head and didn't show any intention to get involved or say anything more.

He always pushed the difficult things in the back house to Madam Wei, but now there was no response, and he was very flustered.

In the end, he could only bite the bullet and say.

"If the fifth uncle wants to scold, scold him. I can't agree to this. Even if I reluctantly agree, it may not be successful. If you are willing to kneel in front of the father's tablet, kneel down. I can only send some soft cushions."

His words blocked the way for the five people.

The old man's usual tricks didn't work, so he had no other way.

He pretended to fall to the ground and curse again, but Madam Wei said coldly when she saw this.

"The ground is cold. If Fifth Uncle wants to throw a tantrum, then go ahead. I'll call for the court doctor to come and see him. My husband and I have other things to deal with, so I won't talk to Fifth Uncle any more."

After saying this, he stood up and prepared to leave.

Shang Yukuan saw that his wife was leaving, so he didn't want to stay here.

He also stood up.

Shang Siye and Shang Wulang were really troubled when they saw this.

If they had known earlier, they wouldn't have brought Fifth Old Master here. He asked for a sense of superiority and orders when asking for help. Who would want to help?

But if Fifth Old Master didn't come, they were afraid that they couldn't control the situation.

Seeing that this overwhelming wealth was about to pass by their Fifth House, the father and son couldn't sit still.

Anxiously, they also stood up and stopped Shang Yukuan and Madam Wei from leaving.

Said in a flattering way.

"Brother, sister-in-law, what's the connection? After all, we are still a family, right? Qi Niang is not my daughter. If it weren't for her future, why would I bother to tell you all this?"

"Is that right?"

Hearing the name of Shang Qi Niang, Shang Yukuan's face still showed some reluctance.

After all, she is the daughter of their Shang family. If she is not dragged down, she will become an old maid who can't get married.

There is also his own daughter Shang Xue waiting behind.

Judging from his own experience, he naturally felt a little bit of intolerance.

Shang Siye saw that his expression had loosened, and immediately stepped forward and said while the iron was hot.

"I know that my eldest brother is in a difficult situation, but can you ask Liu Lang? With his current ability, it should not be difficult for him to get in touch with the Min Palace. If he is willing to come forward for Qi Niang, then this marriage will have a great chance of success, right?"

"This... Liu Lang will not care about these trivial matters, right?"

Shang Yukuan was in a difficult situation. He did not want to trouble his son with something he could not do himself.

Moreover, he was not sure that he could convince Shang Ji.

Therefore, he did not dare to agree outright.

Mrs. Wei next to him was happy to find some trouble for Shang Ji, so her face was much better than before.

She turned to Shang Yukuan and said.

"Fourth cousin is right. After all, we are a family. Liu Lang is now in a high position and has great power. If he really goes to the Min Palace to matchmake, I am afraid he can even get the title of concubine, not to mention a noble concubine."

She would use the power of others to fight against the power of others, and she gave the fifth room the greatest hope.

As expected, they were already very satisfied with being a concubine, and now that they heard that they might become a concubine, they wanted to send Shang Qinniang in with a sedan chair.

With a swish, the fallen Fifth Old Master stood up.

He didn't want to howl or get angry at this moment.

He just urged Shang Yukuan to find Shang Ji to discuss it, and his tone was still as "hard" as before.

"I don't care what method he uses, he must get this done! Otherwise, I will go outside to spread the news about how our favored general in front of the emperor treats his family harshly!"

Hearing this, Shang Yukuan was both angry and helpless.

Facing the always domineering and unreasonable Fifth Uncle, Shang Yukuan really wanted to kick him a few times to vent his anger.

Seeing the promise of the First House, the people of the Fifth House immediately pulled the Fifth Old Master away.

Don't let the situation that has been achieved with great difficulty be ruined by his few words. That would be a loss.

So Shang Siye and Shang Wulang "supported" the fifth old master and immediately left the Yunjin Courtyard.

After they left, Shang Yukuan sighed and looked at Mrs. Wei with some resentment and said.

"What did you promise them? Liu Lang may not be willing to do this. If the fifth uncle really goes out to make trouble, wouldn't it be a hassle for Liu Lang?"

Shang Ji, the son, has been raised in his father-in-law's house since he was a child, and he is not very close to him.

But as a father, he is happy to see his son achieve such success now, and hopes that he will be well.

The affairs of the third and fifth rooms should not be involved with him.

Fortunately, they will move away in a few days, so Shang Yukuan has always felt that he should try his best to take care of his two uncles in their old age.

When they are gone, the people in this courtyard will not be under the control of the Duke's Mansion.

At that time, Madam Wei can do whatever she wants.

But now, he seems to have brought trouble to his son Shang Ji again, so he is angry.

Madam Wei has served him for more than 30 years, how could she not know his thoughts.

So he used his usual tricks again, his nose was sore, his eyes were red, and he said sadly.

"Master, you also heard how the fifth uncle scolded us and the aunt. For so many years, I have been supporting them like ancestors, but in the end, I didn't even have the minimum respect."

"Speaking of it, isn't it just that he looks down on our power? Now that the most capable man in the family is back, he should naturally take on some things. Are we always the ones who rush to the front?"

As he spoke, he became even more sad.

This made Shang Yukuan even more embarrassed.

On one side was his son who made him proud and gratified, and on the other side was the person who had accompanied him for many years.

No matter which one, he didn't want to make them sad.

But as the saying goes, heroes are hard to resist beautiful women, not to mention that Shang Yukuan is not a great hero with good self-control.

Being controlled by Mrs. Wei, he naturally had nothing to say.

He could only shake his head and say.

"Forget it, forget it. I'll go and talk. Whether it succeeds or not is not my concern. The Duke's Mansion will be handed over to him and Mrs. Du sooner or later. Let them practice their skills."

"That's right, Master. How can you succeed without practice? Besides, don't worry too much. With Liu Lang's current power and ability, maybe it can be accomplished with just a few words. Isn't that better?"
