Chapter 452: Back then

Counting Sheng Weiqiao, she hadn't seen the Shen family for a few years, except for Shen Shilang, who had a hurried glance in Chang'an last time, when Sheng Lanxin came back to visit and persuade Mrs. Ming, she didn't see this aunt because she was in Feng Mansion.

After entering the door at this moment, he quickly swept it, and felt that his uncle Shen Ji and his aunt Sheng Lanxin looked as if they had aged for many years.

The two of them sat down with a ten-year-old boy, who was the youngest son Thirteen Lang, this cousin was a little taller than when he met a few years ago, but his shy nature didn't seem to have changed much, and when Sheng Weiqiao saw it, his face suddenly turned crimson, if he wasn't sitting alone on the chair at this time, he almost wanted to hide behind his parents.

This familiar reaction made Sheng Weiqiao involuntarily think of the scene when his aunt's family came to Sheng Mansion to congratulate him on the eve of Old Lady Sheng's birthday, and his heart ached.

She suppressed her emotions and patiently finished the process of greeting and greeting the cold, and couldn't wait to ask: "My aunt and uncle and cousin suddenly came, but what is the matter?"

"There's one thing. When Shen Ji and Sheng Lan heard this, they both showed complicated expressions, glanced at each other, and then said in a low voice, "Jiu Niang has news!"

Rao was Sheng Weiqiao had such a guess before he came over, and when he really heard this sentence at this moment, he still felt a little incredulous.

She pressed her chest and forced herself to calm down before asking, "What kind of news is it? Where is Xiao Qiaoren? Is it okay now? When can we be reunited?"

The repeated questions made Shen Ji and his wife not know how to answer for a while.

After hesitating for a while, Shen Jifang said, "This matter...... We don't know very well either. Now I can only confirm that she is in the north, and she is still fine at the moment. If we are reunited, of course, we also hope that she can return as soon as possible, but ...... It's just that she is in a special situation now, and she will be in a hurry for a while, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to return to her hometown. Moreover, she herself has no intention of coming back...... After all, back then......"

"North?" Sheng Weiqiao listened to this location, and suddenly remembered the porcelain hairpin that he had personally received but disappeared when he was evacuated from Western Xinjiang, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he subconsciously asked, "Xiao Qiao shouldn't be with Mizhen, right?!"

Shen Ji and his wife were suddenly shocked: "How do you know?!"

"......" Sheng Weiqiao was silent for a while, raised his eyes to look at the couple and didn't speak for a long time.

Her eyes are like apricots, beautiful and beautiful, but she is not as imposing as Danfeng eyes, plus she was born to be favored, and she did not develop an arrogant and domineering temper, and her temperament is not aggressive and gentle, so it is not easy to suppress people when she is not angry.

But I don't know if it's because of my identity, I was stared at silently by this niece for a moment at this time, Shen Ji and his wife both felt sweaty, and asked in a whisper: "County lord, ...... What's wrong with you?"

"Mi Zhen is going to the grassland, going deep alone, and he will definitely not go to a crowded place. Sheng Weiqiao didn't answer immediately, and after a while, seeing that the aunt and uncle in front of him had already begun to fidget, he slowly asked, "Since Xiao Qiao is with him, so Xiao Qiao was in the Ruru King's tent before?"

Seeing that Shen Ji and his wife nodded a little stiffly, she sneered, "When did you know about this?!"

Without waiting for an answer, Sheng Weiqiao said again, "Don't tell me that you only know this !!"

Shen Ji and his wife opened their mouths for a while, wanting to say something, at this time, Sheng Lanci, who was at the top, put down the tea bowl and said gently: "Sister, brother-in-law, it's time like this, there are some things, what do you have to keep secret? For so many years, not only are you uncomfortable with Jiu Niang's affairs, but also why are you stubborn? Now that things have taken a turn for the better and have hope, why bother to make a fuss? ”

He also said, "Besides, when you came to the door today and took the initiative to tell you about it, you must have thought about telling the truth." Now that I've seen the face of the obedient girl, why hide it?"

"Big brother, of course we came after thinking about it. Hearing this, Sheng Lan smiled bitterly and said, "It's just this...... I don't know when I'm going to start talking."

She turned her head to look at her husband, his eyes glazed over, "Even, I only found out recently. ”

Shen Ji lowered his head with some guilt and didn't speak.

Sheng Lanci was going to mediate a few words, but Sheng Weiqiao was already impatient, turned the tea bowl in his hand a little irritably, looked up and asked, "Auntie, what did you know recently?" If you really don't know when to start talking, then I ask you to answer?"

Without waiting for Sheng Lanxin to agree, she asked first, "Did Xiao Qiao only know the king's tent before? What is her identity in the king's tent, and how did she come over all these years?"

“…… Ruru's magnates love Mu Nu to be delicate and charming, and have the custom of buying Mu Nu with caravans and acting as female slaves or pets. Sheng Lanxin opened her mouth and said with some difficulty, "Back then, Xiao Qiao was bought and sold by such caravans and pirates! Because she was good-looking, she was included in the account by the heirs of Ruru's predecessor Khan Dengchen Liyu, and it is said that she was very favored." After Dengchen Liyu died, she ...... She seems to have followed the new khan Na Fuzhen again. Both of them are not idle people before and after, so I wonder if it shouldn't be too difficult?"

When Sheng Weiqiao heard this, he didn't know what it was like, and couldn't help but say, "Earlier...... Earlier, when Na Fuzhen invaded the Western Xinjiang for the first time, because of his grandfather, he left Yizhou City alone, and also wanted to take me! And although Xiao Qiao is not surnamed Sheng, she is also the blood of her grandfather! She is in the Ruru King Tent, can she live well?"

Seeing Sheng Lanxin's face instantly miserable when she heard this, she looked crumbling, and she regretted it a little.

In fact, Sheng Weiqiao also knew that Sheng Lanxin might not have thought of this, and the reason why she still said "It shouldn't be too difficult" was not so much because she thought about it, but because she hoped so much.

"Auntie, I'm sorry. Sheng Weiqiao calmed down, apologized in a low voice, and finally asked, "Aunt just said that you only recently learned about Xiao Qiao's whereabouts, so ...... Who kept it a secret from you?"

asked so, but her eyes had already looked at Shen Ji.

However, Sheng Lanxin sighed and said, "It's my father-in-law." ”

Noticing his niece's gaze, he shook his head, "Don't doubt your uncle, he is also kept in the dark, or a few days ago, Mi Zhen sent a letter to the Shen family, saying that Jiu Niang will return to Da Mu in the near future, and our couple was told! Otherwise, how could we know that Jiu Niang is in the enemy country, and we have been indifferent for the past few years?"

"Old lady of the Shen family?" This answer made Sheng Weiqiao stunned, but he didn't show too much surprise, because he remembered that Rong Menghe had hinted to her in the early years that the Shen family, which had a caravan specializing in running the trade routes in northern Xinjiang, seemed to have nothing to do with General Zhou on the surface, but not necessarily in private!

Hearing this at this moment, instead of being shocked, he felt a kind of relief that "it was really so", and blurted out, "Is he doing this just for Mizhen's lone army this time?!"

This time, Sheng Lanxin opened her mouth and didn't say anything, only burst into tears.

Seeing this, Shen Ji coughed dryly and said in a low voice: "My father's original idea was...... It was to dedicate Jiuniang to Ruru's Khan Dengchen Liyu at that time, but I didn't expect Dengchen Liyu to be old, and because of the injuries left by the early war, he increasingly felt the threat of his half-brother Na Fuzhen, and at that time he didn't have the heart to focus on women, but he was thinking about how to eradicate Na Fuzhen all day long. went around and around, but Jiuniang finally returned to Dengchen Liyu's heirs...... As for whether it has anything to do with the lone army of King Mizhen this time, we don't know. ”

And he said, "Even my father doesn't know it." Because the caravan that took away Jiuniang back then was not owned by the Shen family. ”

Seeing Sheng Weiqiao's ugly face, he hesitated, glanced at the people around him, and still said, "County Lord, although you may not believe it, the fact is that when Jiu Niang was taken away by the caravan, she knew the result. She did it voluntarily. ”

“…… Why?" Sheng Weiqiao thought that the old lady of the Shen family was the second old lady of the Shen family, all in order to deal with Ruru, and he did not hesitate to use his relatives' bloodline as a bargaining chip, and his heart was in turmoil, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words.

When Shen Jiuniang had an accident back then, Sheng Weiqiao was not very old, because she had always been the center, only others racked their brains to be good to her, and there was no need for her to find ways to understand the situation of others, she couldn't say everything about this cousin, but because she had to meet several times a year, she also knew something.

Shen Jiuniang can't say that she has no interest in the righteousness of her family and country, but she is not like Old Lady Sheng, who has the courage to sacrifice everything in order to eradicate Ruru...... After all, Shen Jiuniang is just a rich lady in the south who is raised in a deep boudoir, and she chats normally, but she may not mention Ruru once in a few years, how did she come up with the idea of volunteering to go to Ruru to be a traitor? !

"Because at that time, Jiu Niang had already been ...... by those beasts of the Han family," Shen Ji said bitterly, "Didn't the Sheng family entrust the Tortoiseshell Island to help at that time?" In fact, after our Shen family learned that Jiu Niang was missing, and it was likely that it fell into the hands of the Han family, they also made a move, and it was the father of the family who came forward and entrusted a caravan that had dealings with the Han family, and asked them to come forward, pretending that they just liked Jiu Niang's appearance, and regarded it as an ordinary business to get people out. ”

Then the father of the family met with Jiu Niang in private and told her two options: one is to return to the Shen family with Rao'er, ah, the county lord of Fuchang, denying all the experience, and waiting for the news to go down for two years, then find a distant place to go out of the cabinet; ”

The latter has to suffer a lot, but the leader of the caravan also promised that as long as Jiu Niang does not die, he will definitely ensure her a good future in the future. ”

At this time, Sheng Lanxin smiled miserably and answered: "Qiao'er, you should also know about the situation of the Shen family: you can't say how harsh you are on girls, but patriarchy is real! After Fuchang returned, no matter what the Sheng family thought in their hearts, at least no one said anything to her face. But the words of the Shen family ......"

"......" Sheng Weiqiao was silent, she remembered that she had heard by chance when she was a child, Sheng Lanxin relied on Sheng Lanci, the eldest brother, to fight her way out of the siege in the backyard of the Shen family and get the identity of the housewife.

Since this is the case, there is a contradiction between the concubines.

Where is it possible for the children below not to be influenced by their parents?

In that case, if Shen Jiuniang returned to the family at that time, the cynicism between peers and the contempt of the people below were ...... Eighty percent of them are indispensable.

It is true that the Sheng family can let Shen Jiuniang live in the Sheng family and not go back to the Shen Mansion, but this more and more confirms the rumors that the Sheng family has not admitted until now;

The most terrible thing is that those two paths were personally chosen for her by Shen Jiuniang's grandfather.

Which one does Old Lady Shen want her granddaughter to choose...... Needless to say?

Sheng Weiqiao subconsciously tightened the handkerchief in his hand, and after a while, he suddenly sneered: Maybe in Old Lady Shen's thoughts, this granddaughter has already suffered a loss anyway, and it is nothing to send it to serve Ruru again...... Can you still be a good chess piece for waste recycling?!
