Chapter 6 Who is the eldest daughter and who is the second daughter
"But..." Wei Qingwan looked up at Wei Mingting cautiously.
"Come and sit down, don't think about anything else, your mother and I have already told you that you are the daughter of our Wei family regardless of blood relationship." Wei Mingting made it clear.
"Yes, what your father said is correct, don't think about it, no one can shake Miss Wei's identity." Yun also expressed his opinion.
Under everyone's joint efforts to persuade, Wei Qingwan slowly walked to the dining table and sat down.
Then Yun looked at Wei Ruo who was beside her, and was relieved to see that her expression was normal.
The meal was very quiet. Everyone looked at Wei Ruo several times, and worried that she would be out of order after thirteen years in the merchant's house.
Unexpectedly, she ate in a slow and orderly manner, which fully met the standards of a lady.
After dinner, everyone sat down to drink tea together, and at the same time, they had to discuss a more urgent matter.
Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Wei Mingting opened his mouth and said to Wei Ruo: "Ruo'er, you have worked hard all these years, your grandfather and two uncles who are far away in the capital already know about the matter of having the wrong child, and your name will be publicized soon." Add to the family tree."
Yesterday Wei Mingting had already received a letter from Beijing, and he was going to reply to the letter in two days, so he had to tell Wei Ruo right now.
"Yes." Wei Ruo agreed, without revealing everyone's expected expectation and joy.
Wei Mingting looked at Wei Ruo with a slight frown, thought for a moment, and said, "We have decided to add your name after Qing Wan, so you will be the second young lady of the Wei family, okay?"
Hearing this, Wei Ruo raised his head and met Wei Mingting's eyes.
Those eyes were clear and bright, neither sad nor happy.
As a general, Wei Mingting has always been majestic, even at home, he is more powerful than ordinary people.
The children in the family were a little afraid of him when they were young. Even Wei Qingwan, who was deeply favored before, did not dare to look Wei Mingting directly in the eyes when his expression was serious.
Before Wei Ruo spoke, Wei Qingwan suddenly stood up and knelt down in front of Wei Mingting and Yun Shi:
"Father, mother, my daughter begs Ruoer to be the eldest daughter!"
"Wanwan, what are you doing?" Yun's eyes were full of distress.
"Father, mother, I am very satisfied to be able to grow up in Wei's family these years, to be the daughter of my parents, to be happy, and to meet my parents. I am willing to keep me by your side. I am already very satisfied, and I dare not occupy this place anymore." The identity of the eldest daughter, not to mention the second young lady, even if it is a slave or a handmaid, I would love it."
Wei Mingting and Yun's brows were furrowed, eyes full of distress and embarrassment.
Wei Qingwan kowtowed again: "Please ask your parents to help you."
This knock was very loud, and the sound of dong was very crisp.
Yun Shi hurried forward to stop Wei Qingwan from hurting herself further: "Wanwan, stop knocking, your parents know what you want."
"Dad and mother love so much, my daughter deserves it..."
"Fool, what are you talking about! You are not allowed to say such worthy words again. You are our daughter and we are a family. This will never change."
Yun Shi hugged Wei Qingwan in her arms, feeling very distressed.
Wei Yilin also jumped down from his seat, ran up, and embraced Wei Qingwan and Yunshi.
"Sister, you will always be my sister, you are not allowed to say that kind of words!" Wei Yilin pursed his mouth and red eyes.
Seeing this scene, Wei Mingting's face was tense, and his face was clouded.
Wei Yichen was also touched by this scene, but he didn't step forward to express his opinion, but looked in Wei Ruo's direction twice, worried that Wei Ruo would feel uncomfortable seeing this scene.
After a while, Yun let go of Wei Qingwan, and let the two children go back to their seats and sit down.
Wei Qingwan stood up with Wei Yilin's support. She didn't know whether she had knelt for a long time or was weak. Her body swayed and she almost fell back again. Fortunately, Wei Yilin supported her.
Afterwards, Yun Shi also returned to Wei Mingting's side.
After several people sat down, Wei Mingting and Yun's eyes fell back on Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo had a slight smile on his lips, and his crisp voice broke the silence in the hall.
She asked Wei Mingting: "Is it because my parents made such a decision because I was born later?"
"No..." When Wei Mingting replied, his voice was a little weak.
According to the time when the two wives gave birth, Mrs. Wei should be a little earlier than Mrs. He's family.
Then, as Mrs. Wei's biological daughter, Wei Ruo should have been born a little earlier than Wei Qingwan.
"Why is that?" Wei Ruo continued to ask, staring at Wei Mingting with a pair of clear and bright eyes.
Not knowing whether it was because those eyes were too clear or for some other reason, Wei Mingting was silent.
Yun hurriedly helped her husband explain: "That's right, Wanwan has already entered the genealogy. To avoid trouble, I will directly fill in your name behind, and there is no need to make other changes."
Wei Yilin interjected: "My sister is the eldest sister, the eldest daughter in the family. Of course you can't steal the status of the eldest daughter from my sister!"
The first and second house of the Wei family have no daughters. Before Wei Ruo came, Wei Qingwan was the only girl in the family, the eldest daughter.
Although she is not the eldest son and eldest daughter, she has more or less a long character. In the capital city, where the lintel of family background is very important, this long word still holds some weight.
"Yilin! What nonsense are you talking about!" Mrs. Yun snapped, preventing her youngest son from continuing to talk nonsense.
Being reprimanded, Wei Yilin pursed his lips, aggrieved and stubborn.
Mr. Yun turned her head and explained to Wei Ruo: "It's not about the status of the eldest daughter and the second daughter. It's just that everyone is used to calling it that way, whether it's at home here or in the capital. I'm afraid everyone won't get used to it if I change it temporarily."
"Is this the only reason?" Wei Ruo asked again.
Wei Mingting said with a serious expression: "I discussed this matter with your mother and made a decision after weighing various parties."
Everyone looked at Wei Ruo, waiting for her answer.
Just when everyone thought that Wei Ruo would continue to say something to fight for the position of eldest daughter for himself, Wei Ruo gave everyone an unexpected answer.
"Okay, then I will be the second lady."
Hearing this, everyone looked at Wei Ruo in surprise.
Wei Ruo's questioning just now made people feel that she was very dissatisfied with asking her to make a small arrangement, but now she agreed directly after changing her style of painting?
"Ruo'er, you really don't mind?" Yun asked hurriedly.
"However convenient, it's troublesome for everyone to change. My father is also very busy these days, so he shouldn't bother with these trivial matters. Or, if I mind, father and mother will change their minds. Intend?"
Wei Ruo asked back, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and a sly look in his eyes.
