It's finally over.

When he slowly walked out of the ancestral hall, Wang Zixian suddenly felt relieved in his heart. The haze that had hung over him for years was slowly dissipating, and there was no trace of it as a gust of wind blew by. Raising your eyes, you can only see the deep starry sky, ancient and distant, bright and quiet, and even more like endless. Just like his future in the future, there is no restraint, just by the help of the breeze, he can sway 90,000 miles, let him travel.

He seemed to have realized in his heart: since he grew up, Wang Chang and Xiao Yang were no longer his opponents. But they have always been a dead knot in his heart, so that he wants to break free from this qiē but cannot do so, and he can never truly be free. Now that they were gone, and their hatred had been avenged, he had finally attained true peace.

Fortunately, the only person who remained in his heart was his most beloved. From now on, he is the only one who is full of thoughts, and he is the only one who can bind him. Between them, there is a fate that is constantly cut by all the mundane in this world; Their meeting and staying together may be the real fate of this life.

Thinking of this, he slightly curled the corners of his lips. Looking closely, even the group of indistinct clansmen who came in the jumping firelight were much more pleasing to the eye. However, he ignored the doubts and curiosity of the crowd, but calmly walked through them, went straight to the entrance of the ancestral hall, and rode his horse to leave.

The patriarch and the elder explained a few words to the clansmen, leaving the heads of the families to bring their children back to continue their teachings. After all, everyone once thought that there would not be such a stupid person as Wang Chang and Xiao Yang in the Wang family, if they didn't learn from this, what if a stupid thing came up again?

When the patriarch saw that the prince was about to ride his horse, he immediately called him and let him ride in the carriage with him: "How many servants are left in your family?" When I go back, I'm afraid I won't even be able to drink hot soup. Why don't you rest at the old man's house tonight, aren't Zimu and the others there? You don't have to be outside. ”

The prince was grateful, thanked him for his kindness, and after pondering for a while, he took the initiative to discuss with him: "I also know from my grandfather that Yang Shangshu wanted to marry his concubine to Ziling, and the family was preparing a dowry, and he would come to the door to propose marriage soon. Now that this has happened, there are many difficulties in this marriage. Marry with the Yang family, if you get too close in the future, you can't say that you will be involved by them. But at this time, if you rashly refuse to marry, you will offend them for life. ”

"It's a bit of a dilemma." The patriarch nodded, and after thinking carefully for a moment, Fang said, "If you can let the Yang family take the initiative to withdraw from your family, it will be the best policy." It's just that the corners and corners of this ugly thing are categorically not known to them. Otherwise, the punishment of your father and stepmother will be well known, and you will also be affected, and I am afraid that it will not be easy to pursue a career in the future. ”

The prince furrowed his eyebrows: "The child will think again, but what is the best way to do both." However, Ziling is quite obsessed with this marriage, and may not give up lightly. Alas, the dowry was all purchased by him, and he didn't marry the little lady of the Yang family. The boy didn't know how to persuade him. After all, he has never been very close to the child and Zimu. ”

"Good boy, it's hard for you. Rest assured, the old man will tell him the priorities of this matter. The patriarch heard the meaning of his words, and agreed, "Speaking of your father and Xiao Yang's ...... Do you still insist on that? ”

"From the grandfather's rest, the child has his own measure. Grandpa must be well raised, and Xiao Yang's family also has the punishment she deserves," the prince replied in a deep voice. Although he was not uneasy about handing over the two to the patriarch, he had to make sure that they were always in the palm of his hand for the sake of his mother's feud and future arrangements.

It doesn't matter whether Wang Chang is really crazy or fake, the important thing is that everyone knows that he is "crazy", and he himself understands that only by staying "crazy" can he guarantee his life.

And when to take Xiao Yang's life is also up to him to dominate. He won't let Xiao Yang live for too long, and he won't let her affect his arrangements. As long as you put enough effort into it, can't you train a cronie to replace a "seriously ill woman"?

The patriarch glanced at him deeply, and suddenly laughed: "It's really terrifying, it's terrifying." "What is especially rare is that this son is not completely ruthless and unrighteous to his relatives, and he is indeed sincere to his younger siblings. Only this kind of person who is both affectionate and righteous, and who can also make a supreme benevolent and benevolent attitude from beginning to end, is worthy of entrusting the future of the whole clan.

By the time the carriage reached the patriarch's house, it was already dark at night. The prince said goodbye to the old patriarch and went to visit Wang Luoniang and Wang Xiangniang in the guest house.

Although the guest house is small, it has everything, is very clean, and the layout is also very careful. However, Wang Luoniang and Wang Xiangniang, who were in it, had no intention of paying attention to these details. The two sisters leaned on each other in a rare closeness, and their faces were pale and silent. Only the four closest servants were left to serve them, and the rest were nowhere to be found. The prince sat next to him in a daze, just in a daze.

When Wang Zixian stepped into the main room, Wang Luoniang's originally sluggish eyes suddenly lit up. She almost forgot all the etiquette rules of the daughters of the family, jumped up like a deer, and threw herself into his arms: "Brother! What the hell is going on? Sue me, what happened to Grandpa and Auntie? ”

She was anxious to find out the truth, to know what had happened, to know why her life had been turned upside down in an instant. A moment ago, she was still going to the spring banquet as usual, and all she was worried about was where she would spend it in the future, and how to plan the dowry; The next moment, she stood at the door of a messy house, stunned at the empty courtyard, and the world she lived in was no longer there.

"Brother! Please! Sue sù me!! She didn't react to the pity, pity, or alienation of the patriarch's family. However, when she saw her eldest brother, she instinctively shed tears, and her eyes contained the last hope. It's really strange, they are not close brothers and sisters at all, but in her consciousness, at this moment, only he is the most trustworthy, and only he can rely on.

Wang Zixian looked at the panicked and frightened girl in front of him, helped her to the edge of the couch and sat down, and glanced at Wang Xiangniang and Wang Zimu lightly: "You really need to know what Grandpa and Mother have done." However, you must also be assured that after listening to it, you must accept the fact that from now on, we brothers and sisters will have to support each other for our lives. As for Grandpa and Mother, maybe they will have the opportunity to visit them occasionally in the future. ”

In Wang Luoniang's longing gaze and Wang Xiangniang's firm gaze, the prince concisely recounted the causes and consequences of the rebellion case that year. How Xiao Yang and Wang Chang were involved in it, he did not hide his secrets, but presented the evidence clearly.

After hearing this, the two little ladies were extremely shocked, and immediately understood how much fault Xiao Yang and Wang Chang had made, and couldn't help but hug each other and cry. Since it is the fault of the parents, and the elders in the clan are in charge of the mistakes and should be punished, what else can they do as juniors?

Wang Zimu, who listened to it again, gradually woke up from his confusion, and he suddenly realized that King Pu was the father of the king of Xin'an County and the uncle of Princess Changning. His father and mother actually wanted to kill the father of Li Hui, the king of Xin'an County?! Want to kill the uncle of the little lady he fell in love with?! And almost implicated Princess Pu and the King of Xin'an County?!

In an instant, he felt as if something had been dug out of his heart, leaving only a huge, hollow wound that seemed to be bleeding and seemed to be bleeding endlessly, and it seemed that only the empty wind passed through his chest. He didn't know what his brother was thinking at the moment, but the emotions in his heart were too much and too vivid, but when he wanted to see it carefully, it was as if there was nothing.

"Where's Ziling?" Wang Zixian looked around and asked.

"I didn't ...... I haven't seen the second brother ......," Wang Luoniang and Wang Xiangniang replied with a sob.

Wang Zimu suddenly came back to his senses, and after thinking about it carefully, he stood up with a frown: "After the evening meal, he went back to the guest house arranged by another place to rest, and he never came to visit his sister and sister. Now that I think about it, the second brother's behavior has always been weird. It was as if he was shocked and panicked, but it was not because of his father and mother, but because he was particularly worried about his situation.

Wang Zixian turned around and walked out quickly, and Wang Zimu immediately followed without hesitation. The two brothers went to another guest house to take a look, where was Wang Ziling's figure? When the patriarch's grandson heard the news, he interrogated the servants and subordinates who guarded the gate of the mansion, and learned that he had quietly left an hour ago, saying that he was going home to get some useful soft and soft things, and that he would go back as soon as he went.

"Fine?" The prince pursed the corners of his lips and immediately ordered someone to lead the horse, "The door will be closed in a short time, let's go home and take a look to see if Ziling is still there." If he came back, he would take the trouble of having a good talk with his grandfather to keep him steady. With that, he rode away, followed by Wang Zimu. The patriarch Sun pondered for a moment, and also accompanied the horse, and several other servants guarded their safety.

When they crossed the square where they were, the door behind them slowly closed. Several people hurried and came to Wang's house. After stepping into the house, Wang Zixian ordered Cao Shilang and the servants of the patriarch's family to lock the door: "If Ziling comes, block him." After that, he raised his eyes and looked around—the strange thing was that the Wang family was dim everywhere at this time, but only the main courtyard faintly shone some light, and it was obvious that there were people moving inside. So, by the candlelight, they went to the inner hall of the main courtyard.

At this time, there were no more than half of the servants left in the entire Wang family, and only two or three servants remained in the courtyard of the prince's dedication. At that time, they were not allowed to go out of the courtyard unless they had important business, so they heard someone coming back in a hurry, and they did not come out to inspect it. At this time, they recognized Ah Lang's footsteps and voice, and Fang came to greet him with a lantern.

For a moment, the atmosphere seemed to become extremely tense, and it seemed that it was not just a search for someone. The patriarch Sun was puzzled in his heart, and when he looked at the prince with a solemn face, he couldn't ask in the end.

And when the group came to the gate of the main courtyard, the candle flame inside was suddenly extinguished. The huge courtyard suddenly looked particularly gloomy, like countless strange shadows hidden in it, which could be pounced on anytime and anywhere.

Wang Zixian narrowed his eyes: "Ziling, you came home to clean up the softness, why did you run to your mother's yard?" After asking, he whispered to Wang Zimu to take his subordinates to Wang Chang's study in the outer courtyard to check carefully: "The elders will never lightly touch our belongings, and see if there is anything missing." ”

He said it so bluntly that Wang Zimu listened to it as if he took it for granted, and immediately bowed his head. Seeing that he was walking away, the prince Xianfang slowly hooked the corners of his lips and laughed: "What? After taking the title deed of our family's ancestral property, do you still think it is not enough? Do you have to get your mother's dowry to be willing? If they are still alive, you dare to take their belongings? Heh, what is this? ”

He paused deliberately before continuing: "If you don't ask yourself, it's called 'theft'." Are you a living thief doing what you are doing now? After that, he glanced at the patriarch and grandson beside him, and called his name: "Chang Ming, do you say yes or no?" ”

Wang Changming glanced at him, and there was a little more sadness and disappointment in his words: "That's right." Ziling, I can't imagine that you would do such a thing!! ”

"I know your thoughts, you are full of thoughts that you can take these land deeds and sell them at will to make up the money you need for the dowry—and perhaps have a special wedding, and buy a mansion in Chang'an with at least three entrances for your husband and wife to live in in the future. Anyway, the rest of the money can be squandered by you for three or four years. Wang Zixian said again, with an indescribable sense of irony, "It's just that do you think that if the Yang family learns that all your money is stolen, they are still willing to marry Yang Siniang to you?" ”

Heh, he knew that Wang Ziling would come to this point sooner or later, and gave him the opportunity for the Yang family to take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage. In order to make him take such a risk, it was not in vain that he asked Sun Rong to send all kinds of people to urge him to do so a few times, and it was not in vain that he secretly mentioned that Wang Chang and Xiao Yang hid the title deeds of Zhuangzi and Shoppù.

"These should have been mine!! It's mine!! A dark shadow rushed out and swooped straight at the prince. In the middle of his actions, as if something was shining with silver light, the clansmen of the patriarch's family couldn't help but shout: "Lang Jun be careful! Dagger! He took the dagger!! ”

However, before they could finish speaking, Wang Zixian averted to the side. And the subordinates who had been surrounding him jumped out like a tiger and wolf, raised their legs and kicked the black shadow away, and shouted: "Someone wants to assassinate Ah Lang!" Be careful! Protect Ah Lang! I can't tell where the thieves came from! Let's quickly tie him up and send him to the Wuhou who patrols the fang! ”

The prince didn't say a word, and the tribes understood it, and immediately tied up the black shadow tightly, and found the title deed and all kinds of precious gold, silver, gems, and jade ornaments of the Xiao Yang clan from him, etc., which confirmed the crime of "stealing".

"The people's hearts are not enough to ......" Wang Zixian only took the remaining two land deeds of the so-called "ancestral property", and the rest of the people were placed next to him as evidence. Xiao Yang's things, he didn't want to touch them at all. However, it is a pity to lose all of them after testifying. Since it should be Wang Zimu and Wang Luoniang's, it will be left to them. Of course, Wang Ziling didn't want to get a penny in this life.

"......" Wang Changming was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Send it to Wuhou, so you don't need to?" ”

"Let Chang Mingjian smile." The prince bowed his hand to him, "I understand that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, so he can only be handed over to his grandfather." ”

So, when Wang Zimu saw that the study was turned into a mess and hurried back to tell him, what he saw was Wang Ziling in a bundle - and all kinds of large and small jewelry boxes and title deeds around him.

Wang Zi Ling was unwilling, twisted his face and struggled to howl: "These are all mine! It's mine!! It was supposed to be mine! What's wrong with me taking it?! The marriage of the Yang family should also be mine!! Prince Offering! You don't want to ruin my good marriage because of jealousy!! I'll kill you! I'm going to kill you!! ”

Wang Zixian was still calm as usual, but Wang Zimu shook it, and finally stabilized his mind and smiled miserably.
