Quick Wear: The Demon Lord blew up the tomb at the beginning
Chapter 4: The Princess of Wei (4)
Facing Wei Qingming's nervous expression, Xie Lang ordered the wet nurse to take the child away until they were the only two left in the room.
"My mother is dead. What is left in the world now is my soul." As she spoke, she held Wei Qingming's hand. Wei Qingming felt a chill, but then it warmed up again. "It will dissipate when it is time. You don't have to worry about me."
"Qingming, I have seen clearly how you have lived these past two years. I will make sure that all those who have schemed against you receive the retribution they deserve."
Xie Lang was not a kind person. She possessed Wei Changning's body simply because she thought she had a nice body.
Although it is a corpse, it has its merits.
Through these few conversations, Xie Lang has accepted Wei Qingming as his daughter.
Since she is her daughter.
Then, as a mother, it is only natural for her to avenge her daughter.
"Mom." Wei Qingming choked up, as if he had a thousand words in his heart.
But she didn't know where to start, so she threw herself into Wei Lang's arms and cried in his arms like a child who had never grown up.
Xie Lang just patted Wei Qingming's back lightly, causing Wei Qingming's nose to feel sore.
After a long time, she left Xie Lang's arms and said.
"Mother, I don't know what I did wrong to make my husband hate me so much and want to kill me twice."
When mentioning Si Haodang, Wei Qingming burst into tears. That was her husband, the man who would spend her life with her, but he broke his oath and actually wanted her dead.
"My daughter serves my mother-in-law and follows her wishes in every move. She doesn't dare to retort when she gets angry. But no matter how filial I am, my mother-in-law won't give me a good face, so I have to serve her more carefully."
"Since ancient times, the husband has been the leader of the wife. To please her husband, my daughter obeyed him in everything. When her husband asked her for a dowry, she gave it to him. But no matter what my daughter did, her husband didn't care about her at all. Was it because I didn't do well enough?"
"My daughter clearly thought she had done what a daughter-in-law and a good wife should do. But in their eyes, she was just a disgusting and vicious woman."
"Mother, tell me, is it your daughter's fault?"
Wei Qingming became more and more excited as she spoke. She was a princess and she enjoyed every kind of splendor before she got married.
After getting married, you have to be careful to respect your parents-in-law, be considerate of your husband, and bear many grievances yourself.
But she couldn't say it out loud. Her mother was working hard in the court, and she couldn't cause trouble for her or make her worry.
He could only put on a smile outside and give Marquis Cheng'en enough face.
After her mother passed away, her life became increasingly difficult, and she thought it was because she had done something wrong.
But at the last moment, when Si Haodang wanted to kill her, she figured it out.
The other party just wants me to die, and no matter how well I do, I can't satisfy him.
But why is this?
"You are wrong. Absolutely wrong."
Xie Lang said under Wei Qingming's surprised gaze: "Who are you? My daughter, Princess Xinyang of the Great Wei, niece of His Majesty, and a relative of the emperor."
"Behind you stands me, His Majesty, and the royal family of the Wei family. You don't have to look at the faces of the Cheng'en Marquis's family. They have to look at your face!"
"It's right to respect your mother-in-law, but if that old woman is only trying to bully you, you should know that she doesn't deserve your respect. Instead, you should punish her for the crime of disrespecting the princess."
"An ordinary woman might be controlled by her husband's family after getting married. You are a princess. If you are not satisfied, just overturn the chessboard. I don't think the Marquis Cheng'en would dare to say anything wrong."
"But you were too soft, and were tricked by the thief, and almost ended up with one death and two lives."
It was hard for Xie Lang to understand how a good hand of cards could end up being played badly.
But she also understood that this result was not entirely Wei Qingming's fault.
The original owner, Wei Changning, also had problems. She was a princess who defended the country and participated in government affairs, but she left her daughter aside and left her to be taken care of by the maids in the palace.
She usually indulges Wei Qingming, always thinking that Wei Qingming can live a peaceful life under her protection.
After all, Wei Changning loves Wei Qingming, but not enough, she likes her career more.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to not notice her daughter's abnormality over the years.
"Mother, I don't know... I don't know what to do... Marquis Cheng'en is my husband, he is my heaven; the old lady is my mother-in-law, my elder; if I disrespect my husband, it would be subverting the moral code, and if I disrespect my mother-in-law, it would be unfilial..."
"But what you said is right, mother. I am a princess. My status and position are higher than theirs. I should not be bullied by them..."
"...I don't understand...I really don't understand. The etiquette says that a wife should treat her husband like heaven and be filial to her parents-in-law...but I did it, and they want to kill me..."
"Mother, I want to ask, is the etiquette really correct?"
Wei Qingming's eyes were full of confusion. If etiquette was right, then why did she end up with two lives almost lost if she followed the etiquette?
If etiquette and laws are wrong, why do we have them?
What is the necessity for the existence of etiquette and laws?
"Let's not talk about whether etiquette is right or wrong." Xie Lang smiled and asked: "Let me ask you, who made the etiquette, and whose interests are they protecting?"
Wei Qingming fell into deep thought, and after thinking for a while he said, "It was set by ancient sages."
"Okay." Xie Lang stood up and paced the edge of the bed while looking at Wei Qingming: "Who are the ancient sages? They are men, and powerful men. Let me ask you, will the etiquette and laws they made harm their interests?"
Xie Lang's words were like a bolt from the blue, breaking the confusion in Wei Qingming's heart.
Xie Lang said, "The strong make the rules and regulations, and the weak can only follow them. Rules and regulations are nothing more than a fig leaf for the law of the jungle."
"When you have strength, etiquette and law will give way to you." Xie Lang's words were sonorous and powerful, like a ray of dawn that dispelled the darkness. "The Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues, ethics and morality, do you think you have followed them as a mother?"
"Would your late father dare to say a single word of 'no' to me? Would he dare to ask me to be a virtuous woman?"
When Wei Qingming was about to say something, Xie Lang said, "He doesn't dare. Even you have my last name, and he doesn't dare to say a word because I am better than him. Even if I find a hundred male favorites for my mother, he can only accept it. This is the truth."
"Similarly, you are the princess, and I and His Majesty are standing behind you. As for Si Haodang, he is your husband only if you acknowledge him as your husband. If you don't acknowledge him, what kind of husband is he?"
According to Wei Changning's memory, Wei Changning always had the final say and the prince consort could only act according to her mood.
As for her male favorites, Wei Changning did not take any, not because she observed etiquette, but because she was not interested in them. She only thought about her career and leaving a good reputation for generations.
This is good, she doesn't have to deal with the complicated harem.
"Only when I acknowledge him as my husband can he be my husband?" Wei Qingming seemed to have some understanding. Xie Lang's words seemed to have opened the door to another world.
If she had realized this at the beginning, she wouldn't have had to suffer all these years.
But it’s good this way, as she finally sees Si Haodang’s true face.
"Qingming, I have neglected you all these years, leaving you without any means to see through the conspiracy." Now comes the main topic. Xie Lang borrowed Wei Changning's body to experience the fun of a different life.
Nowadays, raising a daughter is not bad.
She is the evil corpse of an immortal king, and also a demon, immortal and possessing an endless lifespan.
If we don't stir up trouble and have some fun, life would be completely boring.
As for cultivation, that is the business of the Lord, and has nothing to do with a evil corpse like her!
"I will teach you from now on, and let you become the crown prince, continuing the glory of the princess who guards the country."
Why is it the Crown Prince and not the Crown Princess? That’s because the word “Zi” includes both females and males.
The Emperor's daughter descended to the northern bank, her eyes were dim and she made me sad. The Emperor's daughter in this poem is the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven.
Therefore, for the sake of convenience, the title of "Crown Prince" is used.
"Mother...this..." Wei Qingming never expected that her mother would have this idea. To make her the crown prince was a path she had never imagined.
If it were in the past, she might not even dare to think about it, but after experiencing this life and death experience, she realized that her husband was not reliable.
The only truly reliable people are your blood relatives and your mother, who is the one who truly loves you.
Will stand up for you without asking for anything in return.
"What, you don't want to be?"
"No, no, no...but I don't know anything...I'm afraid I can't do it well..." Wei Qingming was a little excited at first, but then she thought, she doesn't know anything, what if she makes a mistake? So her eyes dimmed again.
"Don't be afraid, I'm behind you." Xie Lang walked up to Wei Qingming and held her in his arms, giving Wei Qingming a great sense of security. "Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up. It's okay if you make mistakes. The most frightening thing is that you don't even dare to try."
"Before you officially enter the court, I will teach you step by step."
In fact, Wei Qingming has another path, which is to live a peaceful and happy life under her protection, just like the original owner did.
However, Xie Lang scoffed at this path. If she wanted to be her daughter, she must be brave enough to fight for it.
Not fighting or competing is equivalent to handing over your destiny to others.
She doesn't enjoy being a babysitter.
"Then mother...how are you going to deal with my husband...Marquis Cheng'en's family." Wei Qingming immediately changed the way he addressed him, saying that Si Haodang was not worthy of being his husband.
Xie Lang said in a deep voice without any emotion in his eyes.
"The ten clans should be destroyed."
