Chapter 284: Borrowing Strength
VIP chapter content,
It was afternoon, the sunlight was slanting in from the window lattice, illuminating half of Li Shuci's cheeks, and the half-light and half-dark eyes looked very strange, and Wu Tianshuang was even more frightened. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Li Shuci asked again: "Then do you know the purpose of Fengjia Villa and Liu Qing's marriage?"
What other reason can there be for marrying Liu Qing, it must be because of silver...... Wu Tianshuang looked at Li Shuci strangely, and replied: "Liu Qing's family is rich, and the villa has long had the idea of marrying Liu Qing, but there has been no suitable candidate, my aunt, that is, the wife of the owner, has no daughter, presumably it is reluctant to have a daughter, then Liu Qing is already forty or fifty years old." However, if he chose the daughter of the side branch, he was afraid that he would neglect Liu Qing, so he had been hesitating, and it happened that the sisters of the Shang family came to ask for it, so they took this marriage as a condition to help Shang Yinhong enter the Three Princes' Mansion. ”
"According to what you say, Fengjia Villa has taken a fancy to Liu Qing's money?
"The villa is short of silver, especially the lack of silver...... Wu Tianshuang said and said suspiciously: "The business of Fengjia Villa is to spend money to buy heads, except for the royal people, as long as someone gives enough money, whoever you want, the villa will find a way to do it for you." Moreover, there are many people who come to the villa to do business, and countless gold and silver are recorded every year. But strangely enough, I don't know where the money in the cottage went, and I once heard my aunt complain about the money. ”
Helian Tao muttered strangely: "Do you want silver? Do we have silver? Xiao Wu, do you have silver?"
Li Shuci gave him a blank look: "Where do I have so much silver, not to mention that I have to compare to Liu Qing?"
When Wu Tianshuang saw the two of them like this, he was afraid that they would not believe him, so he hurriedly said: "I, what I said is true, I also overheard my aunt ask my eldest cousin if the news is reliable." The eldest cousin said that if that news is true, the richest man in the world, Fengjia Villa will no longer need it at all. ”
"That news?" Li Shuci and Helian Tao glanced at each other, and there was a puzzled look in their eyes. "In this way, Fengjia Villa really wants to make a fortune. Do you know the origin of Fengjia Villa?"
"Fengjia Villa was once the prince of the dynasty, and before he died, he gave the villa to my uncle, Fang Yan. It is said that Fang Yan and the prince are lifelong friends, just a mountain villa, and there is nothing strange about it......" Wu Tianshuang said while thinking: "My uncle was originally born in the green forest...... It's only natural to be in the business of killing people......"
What kind of green forest, to put it bluntly, is a mountain bandit, but it has changed from a house robbery to a murder organization......
"What might that prince entrust to Fang Yan?"
"This ...... I don't know...... After all, I'm just the niece of the owner's wife. ”
"Aren't you the second daughter-in-law of the owner's wife?"
"You, how do you know......" Wu Tianshuang was startled, but seeing Li Shuci's burning eyes, he didn't dare to ask again, thinking that maybe it was Shang Bixi's little slut who said it, so he responded: "That's what I said, but Cousin Wushuang is obsessed with Shang Lanyu......"
Li Shuci looked at her with a smile: "I don't think you like Fang Wushuang very much, you want to marry him, firstly, for the position of the second young lady, secondly, because of the resentment of the Shang sisters, and secondly, what you can't get is the best." Seeing Wu Tianshuang's expression on his face, Li Shuci said again: "Then why don't you put your mind on the eldest son?"
"Cousin Wuji......" Wu Tianshuang thought of this person, and couldn't help frowning subconsciously: "This doesn't seem to have anything to do with your situation......
Li Shuci still stared at her: "Okay, I'll ask you to answer." Otherwise......"
"Okay, I said it's ......" Wu Tianshuang said discouragedly: "There's nothing that can't be said, Fang Wuji's person is cold, making people feel uncomfortable when they see it, and they haven't had much contact with us since they were children." There are also legends that Fang Wuji was the son of his uncle before he came to Fengjia Villa, and he was not born to his aunt. But this is certainly not true. The aunt is definitely the uncle's original wife. Moreover, if Fang Wuji was born to another woman, how could his aunt treat him like her own son!"
Li Shuci glanced at Helian Tao thoughtfully, and there was a little guess in his heart, when all the details pointed to that possibility, then there was nothing impossible. Although Great Xia is small, it also has the highest power, since this is the case, it is no different from the struggle for imperial power in Chongnan, and people's hearts are always divided into good and evil.
"I've told you everything I know. You let me go...... I'm not going to reveal your whereabouts. ”
"Don't worry, I won't kill you. Li Shuci looked at him like an idiot and said, "But, you can't leave yet." ”
Wu Tianshuang was reluctantly taken down again. Everyone gathered in Li Shuci's house. Mu Yun couldn't wait: "Did you find anything?"
"Yes. Li Shuci said with great certainty: "And it is a major discovery." ”
In the room, the Helian Tao brothers and sisters, Mu Yun brothers and sisters, Liu Rudao, He Quan, and Qingge are all here, and when Helian Tao comes out, they all look straight at Li Shuci and wait to open their mouths to solve everyone's doubts. But she didn't continue on this topic: "These days, I have seen a lot of things from the collected Di copy. Now the struggle for imperial power in Great Xia is already in a very fierce stage. There are two factions in the court, one is the crown prince and the fourth prince, and the other is the extremely favored second prince with the seventh prince. These two groups of people are fighting like black-eyed chickens at this time. ”
Li Shuci suddenly smiled: "And the third prince Rong Zhi does not have much power in the court, and he is quite excluded by other princes, otherwise, Rong Zhi will not be allowed to go to Chongnan this time." He wanted to save his life and try to get on one of them, but many attempts still ended in failure. ”
"Rong Zhi is just a drag oil bottle for other princes, and if he wants to mix it up, it may be bad. ”
That's right, it's just that the more this is the case, the more unsteady Rong Zhi's heart becomes, and he often worries that no matter which side wins in the end, he will die. So I racked my brains to do something to get their attention. ”
Li Shuci's poison had been cured, and they had already decided to leave Great Xia and return to Chongnan. Go to Storm Beach and meet the old general Helian. But since Fengjia Villa has a plot against them and has come to the door, it is impossible to sit idly by. They must be dealt with first, so as not to leave them behind. Wouldn't it be too tiring to keep them playing behind their backs all the time?
"Does Xiao Wu want Rong Zhi to deal with Fengjia Villa?" Helian Tao suddenly thought of something and said with a smile.
"What's the most expensive thing in the world? Of course, it's war. Li Shuci looked at the six or seven pairs of eyes in the room and said, "This eldest prince of Fengjia Villa, if he really has anything to do with the prince Liu, he will still try his best to collect money." It doesn't matter if he really has bad intentions or not. As long as Rong Zhi knows about this matter, no matter if he tells the crown prince or the second prince, Fengjia Villa will not be able to eat and walk around!"
Helian Tao's expression also relaxed: "In this way, there is no need for us to make a move at all." ”
"But, let's also think of a good way, this thing must not be touched on the slightest, otherwise, there will be big trouble. ”
Li Shuci raised his head slightly, his eyes unconsciously looked at the black beam above his head, and he pondered for a moment. said: "There is no news from Fengjia Villa for a day and a night, I'm afraid there will be suspicions, and we will have to ask Shang Tourmaline to send some news back to Shang Lanyu in a while." Well...... In this way, in the name of Shang Tourmaline, the letter wrote that Wu Tianshuang came to stir up the situation in order to promote the marriage of Shang Lanyu and Liu Qing, and he had been caught by Shang Tourmaline at this time. ”
"In this case, it doesn't seem to have any impact on Fengjia Mountain Villa?" Helian Yu couldn't help but ask.
Li Shuci smiled: "Xiao Yu, what will you do if someone robs Mr. Liu with you?" Helian Yu blushed and twisted Liu Rudao fiercely. Liu Rudao rolled his eyes at Li Shuci while dodging. When the people in the room saw that Li Shuci had already paid attention, they all laughed.
Fengjia Villa, the spring flowers around the small pavilion in the back mountain have been spit golden.
Shang Lanyu stood on the stone steps in front of the pavilion, feeling that she was like this flower at this time, just about to bloom, and the period of withering was approaching. She looked down at the bluestone road below, and a man in a white shirt walked here step by step. The mountain wind blew the corners of his snow-white robe, revealing the same snow-white knee pants and gold-black ** soap boots, which were handsome and free and easy to appear in her dreams almost every day.
Shang Lanyu's heart was sour. Even if she doesn't have to marry Liu Qing, will her aunt agree to him marrying her? Wu Tianshuang's harsh words that day were still in her mind at this time. "Do you think this marriage can be easily postponed? Even if you succeed and make great contributions to Fengjia Villa, your uncle will save your family affairs at a huge price?"
Her brain ached faintly, Fang Wushuang had already walked in front of her, seeing her brows tightly locked, her face was pale, and she said worriedly: "Ayu, what's wrong with you?
Shang Lanyu saw Fang Wushuang's clear eyes looking at him, and the black cloud covering his heart finally dispersed a little. Finally, Fang Wushuang's affection for her can somewhat comfort her worries at this time. She calmed down and said, "Cousin, I'm fine. It's you, my aunt reprimanded you that day, it's all my fault. ”
Fang Wushuang gently took Shang Lanyu's hand and said, "Mother is such a stubborn character, but no matter how she is, how can she force me to marry a woman I don't like? ”
"Really?" Shang Lanyu was surprised and delighted for a while. "Uncle really doesn't oppose us?"
Fang Wushuang smiled: "Yes, my father has never shown his attitude before, but I talked to him in detail yesterday, but he didn't say anything against it." He also told me to talk about it later. You know, after all, if I talk too much, it won't be good for you. ”
Shang Lanyu was embarrassed for a while, and the other party's thoughtfulness was very satisfied: "Well, I know." ”
fluttering, the bird that had been gray suddenly landed on Shang Lanyu's side, and the thin bamboo tube on his feet slammed on the pavilion railing, making a slight sound.
"Oops, little sister's letter!"
