"Do you remember the corpse of the guard?" Gongsun Shu explained, "If it weren't for the fact that the corpse was found and went to the government, your family wouldn't have known that something had happened to the children who went out so early, and they wouldn't have called Ling Ai and his party back from the foot of Lingxi Mountain, yes or no?"

Sheng Lanci nodded gloomily. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Among the people sent ashore by the Han family, there is a secret son of my Gongsun clan, and that corpse is the clue he deliberately left to the government, in order to prevent Ling Ai and his party from going to Lingxi Mountain. A trace of regret flashed in Gongsun Shu's eyes, this regret was not for Shen Jiuniang or Sheng Weirao, but for the secret son, "Because after the Han family found out that the wrong person was kidnapped, they decided to continue to go to Lingxi Mountain to set up an ambush - and the scattered people must be understandable, the secret son who is loyal to my Gongsun clan will never want to see Ling Ai fall into the hands of the Han family! But at that time, the principal of the Han family was cunning and suspicious, and he didn't give him any chance to pass on the news or warn him at all!"

"That secret son used all his scheming to let the corpse that should have been buried tightly appear in the place where someone was passing, so as to alarm the government and let your family know that the younger generation who traveled had an accident, and sent someone to stop Ling Ai and his party who were about to arrive at the foot of Lingxi Mountain!"

Gongsun Shu sighed, "But after this matter spread, the secret son also revealed his identity, and was tied up by the Han family and thrown into the sea to feed the sharks!"

"Because of this shadow, the Han family suspects that your family knows the truth, and the so-called 100,000 taels of silver reward is just a bait, so they ignore it!"

After Sheng Lan resigned to Tortoiseshell Island, the Han family refused to agree, in fact, in the final analysis, it was because they didn't believe it, so they put forward such an insincere request to hand over Sheng Sleeping Crane and Sheng Weiqiao to them - although the Han family didn't know the true identity of the brother and sister, they only said that one of them was the righteous son of the Gongsun family, and the other was the young lady of the Ningwei Hou Mansion, but even so, could Sheng Lanci exchange his ally brother-in-law and the daughter of a world friend for his niece and niece?!

If he does, he won't be mixed up at sea or on the shore in the future!

Shen Jiuniang and Sheng Weirao are not Sheng Weiqiao after all, it is impossible for Sheng Lanci to do such a self-destructive thing for them!

After Gongsun Shu said this, he narrowed his eyes and simply made his words clear: "Actually, in the final analysis, it is the evil heart of the Xuan Yu'e family and the ambition of the wolf son of the Han family! Ling Aiji people have their own natural appearance, and the niece and niece are a little blessed! But this matter is known to the whole of your family, but it may not be good for the family of four. In my opinion, Ling's niece actually doesn't want to live anymore, so why not fulfill her, so as not to be separated from the family in the future and increase the grief?"

"The sea lord is kind, I understand it!" However, Sheng Lanci had a calm face, but only said lightly, "But it was originally my Sheng family who didn't protect the two girls well, and the fault was not the children, and now I was lucky enough to save one, how can I say that in order not to bear the blame of her parents and elders, I will kill her in turn? That is, the Han family didn't kill them, but I, as an uncle, can't tolerate them, isn't it even inferior to the Han family?!"

Gongsun Shu looked at him for a moment, but he didn't persuade him again, only sighed: "I also guess that most of the Sanren people will decide like this, so they didn't dare to make an initiative to end her at sea." ”

After a pause, "Then I'll take her to Sanren later?"

"Although everyone in Nanfeng County now knows that my niece and niece have been missing for a long time, even if they are rescued, the discussion on the name festival will definitely not be able to stop talking. Sheng Lanci shook her head and said, "However, I still have to do my best on the scene—I won't meet the child on the island, and ask the sea lord to secretly send her to the shore." I'll write you an address, it's an estate of my Sheng family, and the person in charge of it is my confidant, so he will settle the child, and when I have discussed it with my parents at home, I will make a good confession, and then take the child back! In any case, this child cannot be rescued from the sea!"

Gongsun Shu responded and reminded him: "Let the love be simple, if you know the inside story, I am afraid that it is your own fault, and please scatter people to enlighten more, so as not to make the girl depressed!"

"Lord Lao Hai is worried, I'll take care of myself!" Sheng Lanci nodded a little coldly, and when she saw that Gongsun Shu had no words to say, she also took her leave.

After he left, Gongsun Yingdun timidly walked out from behind the screen and saluted, "Dad!"

"Did you hear anything?" Gongsun Shu glanced at him lightly and asked.

"When the child heard the middle, he didn't quite understand that since Daddy thought that Miss Sheng San was alive, he would bring trouble to the Sheng family's big house, why didn't he save her when he wasn't at sea, and let her die in the melee......?" I wonder if my father didn't want to kill Miss Sheng San in the first place, but he just wanted to use her to test Master Sheng?"

Gongsun Shu said lightly: "What do I want to test him?"

"This time, my father went to the expedition, and everything on the island was paid to the little uncle, but because the little uncle's injury had not healed, he invited the grand master who happened to be on the island to assist him. Gongsun Yingdun observed his father's face and said cautiously, "Master Sheng has always been shrewd, even if the little uncle will only deal with things that don't matter to him, but after such a time, he is estimated to have a good understanding of our details." If this man has always been our ally, it will be fine, but if he has other thoughts in the future, it will be extremely unfavorable to us!"

So Daddy wanted to test his character—he knew that leaving Miss Sheng San would bring trouble to his own room, especially the pearl of his palm, but he still decided to do his best to mediate for this niece. It can be seen that although this person has a ruthless side, he also has a good conscience, as long as we don't betray him, I think he may not harm us in the future?"

When Gongsun Shu heard this, he said with no expression on his face: "Wrong!"

When Gongsun Yingdun heard this, he suddenly shuddered, but when he touched Gongsun Shu's cold gaze, he instantly straightened his spine and said in a deep voice: "The child knows his mistake!

"First of all, Miss Sheng San's backer is like that, even if she thinks that what happened to her has something to do with your aunt, she can't threaten the Sheng family's big house at all, so Sheng Lanci doesn't need to be afraid of her at all-this level of trouble is not on his mind, at most, it's more troublesome to coax his daughter not to blame herself-why kill her?!Not to mention such a simple thought, even you can see through it, you can't see Sheng Lanci?"

"The so-called me using this method to test him is simply a brainless idea!"

"Secondly, although Tortoiseshell Island is the base camp of our Gongsun Clan, but our ancestors have traveled all over the world back then, since my Gongsun Clan can dominate this sea area for so many years, how can it be short-sighted and incompetent? If you think that if you find out the details of Tortoiseshell Island, you will know the hole cards of my Gongsun Clan, it will be ridiculous!"

"I dare to ask Sheng Lanci to help sit in the rear, naturally I am not afraid that he will take the opportunity to do anything and leave something behind!"

"Third, you underestimate your little uncle too much!"

"Do you think that he is seriously injured and can only barely get up to look at things, so he can't control the entire rear with the strength of one person, and he must be helped by Sheng Lanci?!"

"Actually, the real purpose of arranging Sheng Lanci to give your little uncle a hand this time is not to find someone to share your little uncle's worries at all!

Gongsun Shu's expression was ambiguous, and his tone was complicated, "Sheng Lanci's love for his concubine is unimaginable to ordinary people-although your little uncle was recognized by him, it is obvious that in Sheng Lanci's mind, the status of the concubine will always be ranked before the concubine!

"Yu Gong, your little uncle has a deep bond with our Gongsun clan, and now that he has returned to the shore, the greater the future, the more he can take care of our Gongsun clan in the future!

"Yu Zhi, that's the righteous brother I watched grow up, I have always looked at him as my own brother, how can I sit back and watch him be compared to an innocent and ignorant little girl everywhere?!"

Gongsun Shu sighed, "But Sheng Lanci is very shrewd, if he directly does something to his precious daughter, it will only ruin the friendship between the two parties, and even involve your little uncle! ”

"Your little uncle suddenly recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, and his biological mother and Sheng Lanci couldn't talk about their feelings at all - if you want him to be taken seriously, it is impossible to rely on Sheng Lanci to show fatherly affection, so you can only find another way, use his talent and talent to impress Sheng Lanci, make Sheng Lanci understand his importance, and recognize the weight of your little uncle in his heart!"

Speaking of this, Gongsun Su looked at Gongsun Yingdun, who was already trembling, and sighed, "When I and your little uncle were at your age, whether it was personal force, or scheming city, or the way of the emperor, we could already compete with our fathers! Rao is so, after your grandfather died at the beginning of the year, I took over the position of sea lord, and with your little uncle trying to assist from the side, you can also see how difficult it is to support!"

"And I instructed you so attentively, but you are still far from the level of me and your little uncle at this time - how can you tell me to trust the Gongsun family to you in the future?!"

Gongsun Yingdun's face was full of shame, and because he knew his father's temper, he was so scared that he lowered his head deeply and didn't dare to make a sound.

"The meeting is a celebration banquet, if you are injured, your little uncle will definitely persuade me when he sees it. Gongsun Shumo rubbed the antlers on his thumb (she) and said calmly, "Go change your clothes first, and then punish you after tonight!"

Gongsun Yingdun first breathed a sigh of relief, then bowed down with some shame, and went out backwards.

walked until he walked outside the door, knowing that Gongsun Shu could no longer see his expression, he clenched his fists vigorously, and when he raised his eyes, his eyes were full of disgust and impatience.

The conversation between the father and son ended, but Sheng Lan's conversation between father and daughter had just begun: "...... Daddy told you this inside story, not for anything else, just so that if someone wants to accuse you of the experience of Jiu Niang and Rao'er in the future, don't be fooled!"

Sheng Lanci's expression was solemn, "You are not at fault for the whole thing!"

"It's not that Daddy deliberately coaxed you: First of all, it was Xuan Yuche who took the initiative to trouble you that day, not you who provoked him! He'er, as your brother, should give you a head! If you brothers and sisters didn't let Xuan Yuche harm Jiuniang and Rao'er here, then according to this statement, Jiuniang herself is the culprit!"

"After all, if she hadn't stopped the carriage there that day, you wouldn't have met Xuan Yuche at all!"

"How many people should be so responsible?"

"It's not your second aunt's idea to instigate Oh'er to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, why does your grandmother want Jiu Niang to travel with you?"

"Your grandmother doesn't like your second aunt, and the reason why she is willing to cover up her selfishness is because your second uncle is not angry, and he is worried that the matter of his lax teaching wife will reach your grandfather's ears, and he will be punished again!"

"It's Rao'er herself, if she hadn't been biased and short-tempered, she had targeted Jiuniang three times and twice on the way out, how could she have been sent back halfway because of a dispute with Jiuniang?"

"It's not you who are in charge of sending them back, it's De'er!"

"So if you're going to blame yourself, then none of these people above can escape responsibility!"

"Could it be that all of us from top to bottom will have to live in self-blame in the future?!"

Sheng Weiqiao will inquire about the news transmitted back to the island every day these days, whether he mentioned his cousins, I heard that Gongsun Shu has returned today, but Shen Jiuniang and Sheng Weirao still have no news, only that the two sisters have been killed, and they are already crying in the room.

I will listen to my father again, the unfortunate experience of the sisters is inextricably linked with herself - her mood can be imagined!

Even though Sheng Lanci persuaded her repeatedly, she was still very sad, and she burst into tears for a long time before she choked up in frustration: "Is my cousin really not found?" Third sister...... Where is the third sister now, can I meet her?"

"Jiu Niang didn't find it, but don't worry, Dad will definitely send someone to continue looking for her. Sheng Lanci comforted softly, "As for Rao'er, for the sake of her future, my father has asked Gongsun Haizhu to send her back to the shore." When the time came, it was said to the outside world that the child was lucky to be rescued by a good person, but he went home without danger. ”

Although most outsiders will not believe this statement, as long as the Sheng family's status in Nanfeng County is put aside, unless they want to make a feud with the Sheng family on the scene, they will agree with the sentence "Miss Sheng San is really a lucky person".

With such a pretense, Sheng Weirao will not be able to say that everything will be the same in the future, but it will not completely ruin her reputation, and people will be ashamed of associating with her.

However, Sheng Lanci was in such a hurry to send her niece back to the shore, and she didn't even let the niece meet Sheng Weiqiao, in the final analysis, she was worried that Sheng Weirao had just been rescued, and she was very emotionally unstable.

So after entrusting Gongsun Shu and arranging Sheng Weirao to go to the shore, on the way to his daughter's place, he had already ordered someone to go back to Sheng's mansion, and privately told Mrs. Sheng and Mrs. Ming, asking them to arrange for someone to go to the courtyard to appease Sheng Weirao - the reason why I was looking for Mrs. Sheng and Mrs. Sheng instead of Sheng Weirao's parents was, of course, because I couldn't trust Mr. and Mrs. Sheng Lansi, especially the character of the Bai family.

As for whether Sheng Weirao will continue to resent Dafang after doing this, Sheng Lanci doesn't matter.

Anyway, he himself has a clear conscience.

is just a niece, if you have to find trouble, it's a big deal to marry her farther away, out of sight.

Sheng Lan would not tell his daughter about this consideration, he comforted him softly for a while, and saw that Sheng Weiqiao reluctantly accepted his sorrow, so he went to the main hall to go to the celebration banquet with the subordinates who had come to urge him three or four times.

The celebration banquet on Tortoiseshell Island was held for three days in a row, and Sheng Lanci and his party left the next day.

Gongsun Shu originally wanted to keep them for a few more days, but Sheng Lanci said that the Sheng family had a big business, and it was already the limit for he, the principal, to leave for so long, and he really couldn't delay it any longer - the focus was on Sheng Sleeping Crane's injury, despite the rare medicinal materials he brought, he finally returned to the shore for diagnosis and treatment.

In this way, Gongsun Shu couldn't say anything, so he could only see them off.

However, when seeing them off, Gongsun Yingjiang and Gongsun Xi also followed the Sheng family on the return boat.

Sheng Weiqiao was taken aback when he saw this: "Are you going to the shore?"

"No!" Gongsun Yingjiang and Gongsun Xi both smiled delicately and looked at her, "Go to your house!"
