Cao Shilang quietly glanced at his own Langjun, and then looked at the king of Xin'an County, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart. Yesterday, when Ah Lang Zema galloped from Shangzhou to Chang'an, he was still covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and it seemed that he could see people kill people and see Buddhas kill Buddhas at any time—but after a night, he actually regained his usual vigor and calmness, and could no longer see half of his resentment and resentment, which was no different from a miracle.

Sure enough, in this world, only the king of Xin'an County can persuade Ah Lang. As the saying goes, one thing descends one thing, and it does make sense. Even a powerful person like Ah Lang doesn't think about the king of Xin'an County for everything? He didn't even think about it, and came to Chang'an in anger, probably wanting to tell all the grievances to the king of Xin'an. Alas, such a friend of life and death can really teach them that these reckless men are envious!! If you can make such a brother in this life, it is really worth dying!

He was secretly envious, but he didn't know that this "affection" was not his "affection", and ordinary people could not obtain it in their lives. And the king of Xin'an County is entangled in contradictions for this kind of "affection", and even when he says goodbye, he is extremely cautious and cautious, staring closely at Wang Zixian's actions, lest he exceed the rules in public.

"Wait until I get back." The prince looked at him meaningfully, smiled and left these words, and then rode away. Cao Shilang followed, and the two rode one after the other.

After returning to Shangzhou City, Wang Zixian did not return to the Wang family, but first visited the patriarch. The patriarch entertained him with a smile and called his children and grandchildren out to accompany him for the evening meal. Although they had a good conversation, Wang Zixian still politely refused their invitation to continue discussing poetry, and smiled slightly: "There are some things I want to discuss with my grandfather, and I might as well talk about poetry and literature another day." ”

The patriarch seemed to sense something from his attitude, and personally took him to the study to sit down: "Zixian, what is the trouble you have encountered?" The old man has long said that no matter what happens to you, just listen to it, and the old man will make the decision for you. ”

"......," the prince looked at him with determination, "can grandfather make the decision for my aunt?" Avenge her? ”

The patriarch was stunned and sighed: "You finally know." After the death of the Da Yang family, the Xiao Yang family married in the heat of filial piety, and there were quite a lot of complaints in the clan. At that time, the rumors of Xiao Yang's quiet dealings with your father had already spread intermittently, and many clansmen felt that this marriage was just a fig leaf, damaging the reputation of the Wang family. But at that time, you were still a baby less than a month old, and your father insisted that you must immediately marry a woman to take care of you, and the Yang family strongly agreed with Xiao Yang's marriage......"

"I understand that in the final analysis, this kind of thing must be done by the Yang family, if there is no real evidence, the Wang clan has no reason to prevent the Xiao Yang family from marrying over." Wang Zixian said in a low voice, "It's a pity that after my grandmother fell seriously ill, the Yang family became the maiden family of Xiao Yang's family, and they were ruthless and unrighteous to A-Niang. The huge Hongnong Yang clan, no one stood up for A-Niang, so she could only be murdered by Xiao Yang's life, and it became an excuse for Xiao Yang's reputation for managing virtue and filial piety. ”

Speaking of this, his eyes were already full of tears, and he leaned down and bowed deeply: "As a son of man, I bear my mother's revenge and have to take revenge." I hope my grandfather will help me!! "The youngest boy in the national dynasty is just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy in the final analysis. The long body trembled with anger and sorrow, and the choked sound was intermittent enough to move everyone who heard and saw it.

The patriarch was full of unbearable expression, and helped him up: "The old man, as the patriarch, of course should help you!" Our Wang family is not like their Yang family, and we will never tolerate those who are full of sins! Good boy, I wonder what you are planning? You must know that if there is no evidence of Xiao Yang's murder of your mother, it will not be possible to do it accurately. Moreover, this matter must not be brought out, it cannot make our Shangzhou Wang clan discredited, and it cannot affect you in vain. ”

"Such a family ugliness naturally can't be settled through the guò government." The prince raised his head, revealing tears on his face, but his expression was extremely determined, "Since my grandfather only used the clan rules to deal with it, I have no objection. As for Xiao Yang, the crime she committed was far more than just murdering my mother. ”

A few years ago, Xiao Yang was instigated by the Yang family to persuade Wang Chang to send his troops to assassinate King Pu, and he still has evidence. This one alone is enough to make these two people unable to turn over for the rest of their lives. As for those back house secrets, it's just a small section. The Wang clan will never forgive, only the "ten evils" of "attempting rebellion" are enough to involve all the clansmen. Once it comes to their own interests and even their own lives, everyone will be angry with the enemy and regard them as enemies.

After consulting with the patriarch, Wang Zixian returned home with Cao Shilang. It was not early, and Qing Sue was waiting near the gate of the mansion, and he couldn't help but feel much more relieved to see that his expression was as usual. He was about to whisper what had happened in the past two days, when Wang Zimu hurriedly greeted him: "I heard that the eldest brother has something urgent and went back to Chang'an?" ”

"There are some important things that need to be discussed with Xuan Qi, and I remembered it temporarily, so I left in a hurry." The prince replied, glanced at him, and smiled, "Someone asked me when you would be able to return to Chang'an—I can only reply that it is up to you to decide this matter." How is it? It doesn't matter if you go first. ”

Hearing this, Wang Zimu's eyes suddenly lit up: "...... I...... So I'm one step ahead? "Staying in this home, he was breathless all the time, and he always had the illusion that he would be suffocated by guilt and shame. If possible, he naturally hopes to return to Chang'an as much as possible and continue to live a free and easy life, and he can see his beloved girl at any time. If possible, he also hopes that he will not have to face the deep chasm between his eldest brother, his parents and his second brother before he can come up with a suitable solution.

"I'll leave tomorrow." The prince smiled and said, "Today is the Shangsi Festival, and I have missed a good day. If you go back to Chang'an early, you can't say that you can catch up with the banquet in late spring. However, you must remember not to act rashly, just let Xuan Qi arrange it for you. As for being an elder brother, whether Xuan Qi is willing to turn a blind eye or not, that is his choice. If Zimu can convince him to pull the strings, maybe he can really marry the princess and return home.

The prince bowed his head repeatedly, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl. The two then went to the inner hall of the main courtyard to greet each other, and met Wang Luoniang and Wang Xiangniang who returned from greeting on the way.

Wang Luoniang naturally would not let go of such an opportunity, and saluted the prince with a smile, asking him where he had been in the past two days. Wang Xiangniang did not silently retreat to the side this time, but also stepped forward and took the initiative to relieve him: "Thank you eldest brother for inviting a doctor to Qingsuo, after drinking the medicine, her complexion has improved a lot." ”

"It's just a doctor, it's all a family, and you don't have to thank you." The prince continued. Zeng's illness was too serious, even if he asked a doctor to diagnose and prescribe medicine, it was just dragging his feet. But even so, it is better than dying silently in the corner of the Wang family. Just for Wang Xiangniang, she should also try her best to live.

After listening to the words of the two, Wang Luoniang and Wang Zimu were both stunned. The former reacted in an instant, and his eyebrows were upside down: "The matter of the inner house should have been reported to A-Niang, and A-Niang should be in charge." Why don't you talk to Ah Niangming, but go to bother the eldest brother? I really don't understand the rules at all. ”

The latter said, "My mother is sick? Xiang Niang, why didn't you say it earlier? If the doctor had been dismissed earlier, the concubine would not have had to suffer from the pain. Big brother has always been busy, if you can't find the big brother, look for me. He didn't say a word about the rules of the inner house, because he knew very well that Xiao Yang should have known about Zeng's illness, but he just didn't want to deal with it. For this mother's selfishness and ruthlessness, he has long learned to accept the facts.

The two sisters spoke almost in unison, but they spoke very differently. Wang Luoniang couldn't help but stomp her feet, and glanced at Wang Zimu angrily: "What are you doing in the affairs of the inner house?" Xiang Niang, come with me, I have to teach you what the rules are tonight!! After that, she made a gesture to lead Wang Xiangniang.

Wang Xiangniang took a few steps back as if she was cowardly, and Wang Zixian immediately blocked in front of her, and said lightly: "Luo Niang, Xiangniang doesn't understand the rules, she has her own mother's teaching, and you don't need to interfere." It's not too early, so go back. If there's anything going on, it's not too late to talk about it tomorrow. ”

Seeing that he actually stood up for Wang Xiangniang again, Wang Luoniang was extremely angry, and snorted coldly and left with the maid. Wang Xiangniang thanked the two brothers with a sigh of thanks, and then left quietly. Wang Zimu looked at her back and sighed lightly: "This family ...... It's really not like home at all, and I don't know if my mother still has the heart to take care of it......"

"She has been busy preparing for Ziling's dowry recently, and it is inevitable that she will be a little relaxed about the affairs of the inner house." Wang Zixian replied casually.

When the brothers came to the inner hall, they vaguely heard intermittent sobbing from inside. The two looked at each other, and took a few steps back with some embarrassment, but they heard Wang Chang call: "But Da Lang and San Lang? Come on in. In an instant, Xiao Yang's sobs turned into whimpering, and it sounded more and more pitiful.

The prince and the prince entered the house to salute, and before he raised his head, he heard Wang Chang ask with his head: "Da Lang, you kid, why do you want to meddle in the affairs of the inner house?" When the healer entered the house today, the servants thought he was in the wrong place and almost drove him out. Zeng's illness was arranged by your mother. No matter how kind you are, you can't go past your mother at will. ”

Xiao Yang cried and continued: "It was also the concubine's negligence for a while, and she didn't know that Zeng's was seriously ill...... It's all the concubines, the main mother, who are not thoughtful, and they can't complain about Da Lang and Zeng's mother and daughter...... It's just that many young girls in the clan are present today, and the face of our family is ...... What a disappointment......"

The prince lowered his head, too lazy to pay attention to the dark thorns in her words, and said expressionlessly: "The child knows that he is wrong. Two days ago, I happened to meet Xiang Niang crying, asked a word or two, learned that the mother was seriously ill, and saw Xiang Niang crying really sadly, so the child made his own opinion...... However, the child also asked Xiang Niang, and she said that she had mentioned this matter to her mother. The child guessed that maybe her mother was busy with Ziling's marriage recently, and she forgot about it for a while. As a child, it is natural that you should share your mother's worries. ”

Wang Chang has always been impatient with this kind of housework, and when he heard this, he waved his sleeves and said: "It's okay, it's just a trivial matter, so you don't have to dwell on it anymore!" You have always been kind-hearted, and I can't blame you for this. Speaking of which, you have been back to Chang'an for the past two days? Why so suddenly? But what's the urgency? ”

"......" didn't expect this matter to end so easily, Xiao Yang almost choked, and his cry became softer and more tactful.

"The child saw that Grandpa and Auntie were worried about Ziling's dowry, so he went to Chang'an to ask some friends from high-ranking official families." Wang Zixian raised his eyes, and in an instant, his face was full of happy smiles, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, "I finally found out the exact news, so I can share my worries for Grandpa and Auntie." ”

"Good! Good!! "Wang Ziling's marriage is the second proud thing in Wang Chang's life, and he is overjoyed when he hears it. Even Xiao Yang unconsciously stopped crying, pretending to wipe his tears, and quietly pricked up his ears to listen.
