Chapter 1771: Chapter 1771: Yaoyao is Sixteen (4)

The old Wei patriarch furrowed his brows. In truth, he liked money too, and the reason he opposed the idea was only because he felt for his youngest son. Now hearing his eldest son put it this way, he had no reason to insist otherwise.

How could Wei Bingyi not know his father’s temperament? Seeing the situation, he realized there was an opportunity, so he sighed again, “Father, if only I had a daughter too, if only I was familiar with the Yang Family sisters, why would I need to make it difficult for my second brother?”

The old Wei patriarch let out a breath, “You can find other ways to make money…” It counted as his last struggle.

“Father, over the years, our Longfeng Embroidery Village is already in decline, with other embroidery villages constantly emerging. We can no longer find superior embroiderers, and we don’t even qualify to compete for Imperial Merchant status. It’s not like I haven’t considered other businesses, but it’s so hard to rise in unfamiliar fields.” Wei Bingyi tugged at his own hair, “Don’t you see your son is only thirty-five, but his hair has turned white?”

The old Wei patriarch was left speechless.

“Father, it’s been years, this doll business is profitable. If we don’t seize it, don’t take it for ourselves, then in the future, we can only watch the Yang Family make money…” Wei Bingyi shrugged his shoulders, “This family is not mine alone. Who am I working so hard for?”

The old Wei patriarch glanced at Wei Bingyi and suddenly stood up, “I’m old, I can’t manage anymore.” Saying so, he headed for the door.

“Father.” How could Wei Bingyi let his father leave? He hurriedly blocked the patriarch, “You need to go talk to Second Brother…”

“Aren’t you familiar with the Yang Family too? You go, isn’t that fine?”

“How could it be the same?” Wei Bingyi pursed his lips, “Yaoyao has a good relationship with the Yang Family sisters…”

The old Wei patriarch sighed again but said nothing, walking away with his hands behind his back.

Wei Bingyi smiled; his father’s demeanor indicated he wouldn’t interfere, so next, he would be the one in charge. He then called in his attendant, “Go see if Second Master is awake yet. Notify me immediately once he wakes.”

The attendant promptly left.

Wei Bingyi then walked back to his own courtyard, hands behind his back.

Wei Qishi saw her husband enter and quickly ordered the servants to bring tea and snacks.

“Did you mention that Old Master Zhao wanted to remarry?” Wei Bingyi glanced at his wife.

“Yes.” Wei Qishi raised her eyes, “That Old Master Zhao is the Governor’s brother-in-law, though already forty, he looks handsome as if thirty, and crucially, the Zhao Family has strong backing and a solid foundation…”

“Yaoyao is sixteen.” Wei Bingyi smiled slightly.

Wei Qishi’s eyes lit up, “Sir’s intentions…” But then she felt deflated again, “Back then, sir agreed with Second Brother that they would be in charge of Yaoyao’s marriage, but now…”

“If they won’t let the family manage, then they should just leave this family.” Wei Bingyi sneered coldly, “Notify Zhang Family to prepare. In the next few days, let Yaoyao meet with Old Master Zhao…” He said, rising to his feet.

“Sir, where are you going?” Wei Qishi hurriedly got up as well.

“Don’t bother me.” Wei Bingyi said, walking out the door, heading straight to the courtyard of the newly married concubine. Although it was still daylight, it didn’t deter him from going over, especially with that little demon being so enticing. If it weren’t for Second Brother passing out, he would have already gone there. Quite some time had been wasted, and the maid in that room had come over to peek several times; if he didn’t go soon, the beauty would be angry.
