Chapter 329, for the elder brother to endure it, the rumors of Zhonghuiyuan reappeared
Cheng Feng waited for news in the mansion, but he didn't have anyone to report back until nightfall. The dead soldiers sent out all died on the Fragrant Mountain. Jingzhao Mansion has received a tip report and pulled people back, but because it is impossible to find out the identity of these dead and who did it, in the end this matter has become an unsolved case.
And Cheng Feng didn't dare to expose the matter to the surface, otherwise his intention to kill Situ Yan would be exposed. With Duanmu Xuan's personality of loving his wife like his life, jealousy and hatred, I am afraid that in the next moment, his head will fall to the ground, and even the entire Great Situ Mansion will suffer.
In the Guogong Mansion, Duke Liangren Duanmu Li was discussing with his son about the matter after the examination, when he saw Mo Bing come to report, saying that Mo Feng had an urgent matter to see.
"Let him in!"
"My subordinates have seen the lord and the young master!" Mo Feng bowed first after entering the door, and then got up.
"Mo Feng, I saw that you were short of breath and in a trance, but what happened in Beijing?" With Duanmu Xuan's understanding of Mo Feng, unless it is the emperor who dies and the prince seizes power, it is really difficult for ordinary things to make Mo Feng, who has always been calm, appear so anxious.
"Lord Qiyu and young master, there is nothing to do in Beijing, but my subordinates just learned that Miss Situ was chased and killed by a group of dead soldiers in Xiangshan, a suburb of Beijing!" Before Mo Feng could finish speaking, Duanmu Xuan jumped up directly from the chair and pulled Mo Feng back.
"What, you said Yan'er was hunted down? There can be injuries! Hurry up and prepare the horses, I want to go to Situ Mansion immediately! Duanmu Xuan only felt that the sky had fallen, his hands and feet were cold, and even his voice was trembling.
"Xuan'er, don't be impatient for a while, look at Mofeng's appearance, the girl should be in danger. Besides, you sent an iron-blooded guard to protect it secretly, and a few dead soldiers should be fine! Duanmu Li was very calm, with his understanding of Mo Feng. If something really happened to Situ Yan, Mo Feng was afraid that he would not have reported it before coming in just now. Instead, he just broke in.
"Yes, young master, you listen to your subordinates first!" Mo Feng didn't mean to make his young master anxious, but things need to be explained one by one to understand.
"Speak quickly!" Although he had his father's consolation, Duanmu Xuan still held on to Mo Feng and didn't let go.
"Yes, after Miss Situ sent Young Master Situ to the Tribute Courtyard today, she went to Xiangshan with the Third Young Master of the Li Family. Halfway up the mountain, I met the dead man. Miss Situ killed one person and injured two people! ……”
"Ink Wind! Let's talk about the point, Yan'er, is she hurt? "Duanmu Xuan, where does he have that leisure to listen to Mo Feng tell stories. What he wants to know most now is whether Situ Yan is injured. People are well.
"Young master, Miss Situ is unharmed! Even that Li Sanlang was not injured in the slightest! Mo Feng saw that the young master, who was calm and didn't look like a human on weekdays, was so panicked that his hands were trembling at the moment, and he couldn't help but be a little worried. This time, Miss Situ is fine. If Miss Situ is really injured or dies next time. I don't know what the young master will become. But that's all for later, in order not to make the young master go crazy, it seems that more people will be sent to Situ Mansion in the future.
"Hah! OK! OK! It's good that Yan'er isn't injured! Duanmu Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that at that moment just now, his heartbeat stopped. How much weight Situ Yan has in his heart, even if he didn't have this, he would have known it a long time ago. But now I calmed down, and I was still taken aback by my impulsiveness.
Took a few steps back. Then he sat down in a chair and took a sip of his teacup. Duanmu Li looked at his son. I was even more worried in my heart, "Xuan'er, my father has warned you a long time ago, don't panic in case of trouble, you are a taboo in the army!" ”
"Father, the son knows, but as long as it's Yan'er's business, the son can't calm down, he can't obey his wishes, and the son can't help it!" Duanmu Xuan didn't know that if he continued like this, he was afraid that one day he would not only not be able to save Situ Yan, but also harm her.
"If you use too much affection, you will eventually hurt! Xuan'er, why don't you let it go earlier? This is the first time Duanmu Li has persuaded his son to give up, after all, the future of the Guogong Mansion still points to this son.
"Father, if the son can't marry Yan'er, there will be no love in this life! Could it be that my father would like to see a walking corpse who lives for the sake of the national government? ”
"That's it, that's it! Hello do it yourself! Duanmu Li knew that it was useless to persuade him, but if he didn't persuade him, he would not be reconciled, after all, father and son were connected!
"Father, it is the son who is not filial. But you believe that son, with Yan'er in the Guogong Mansion, it will only get better and better! The son promises that he will protect the government for a hundred years! ”
"Well, as long as you remember who you are and remember your responsibilities!" In fact, even if he didn't say these words from his son, Duanmu Li believed that with Situ Yan's intelligence, he would definitely do it. This is also the reason why he took a fancy to Situ Yan and agreed to his son. But seeing his son's abnormality, he began to doubt his judgment again.
"Son, remember! Don't dare to forget! Out of the study of the Guogong Mansion, Duanmu Xuan didn't stay for a moment, and went to Situ Mansion quickly.
"Yan'er, are you really okay?" Duanmu Xuan had already looked Situ Yan up and down dozens of times, but he still felt uneasy.
"It's okay! If I get hurt, those people won't be as simple as feeding the dogs! Situ Yan quipped, she didn't want Duanmu Xuan to worry about her for some reason. It's just that she doesn't know that that feeling is called "love".
"It's okay, it's okay! Yan'er knows who sent those people? ”
"Those people are ruthless, they don't ask for names, they don't reason, they want to take my life as soon as they make a move. And although Situ Mansion is not widely known and popular in the capital, he has never offended anyone. The only one who has an enmity with Situ Mansion is Cheng Feng! ”
"It's him!" Duanmu Xuan's eyes seemed to be about to breathe fire, if it wasn't for Situ Yan pulling him, I am afraid that others would already be on the roof of the Great Situ Mansion at this time.
"Xiao Wu, then Cheng Feng didn't want to marry you in his heart, how could he do this?" Li Saburo was a little puzzled. He loves someone and only wants her to be good, how can he understand Cheng Feng's thoughts.
"Third brother, some people are like this, if they don't get it, they will be destroyed, which is normal for these clans. The third brother has never seen these things, so it's not surprising that he doesn't know! ”
"This deep mansion compound is really a place to eat people and not spit out bones!" Li Sanlang hated Cheng Feng, and even looked at Duanmu Xuan with a little unpleasantness. After all, they are all from famous families. If the little sister marries into the Guogong Mansion in the future, will she be calculated every day? Thinking of this, Li Sanlang not only looked at Situ Yan worriedly.
"Third brother, it's okay. The one who can hurt me hasn't been born yet! Situ Yan could only make a joke. She will face her own affairs, and she doesn't want her relatives to worry about her.
"By the way, Brother Xuan, since I'm fine this time, and the current Situ Mansion can't compete with the Great Situ Mansion, for the sake of my brother, I don't want to make extraneous branches." Fortunately, Situ Jin was not at home, so I didn't know about it. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't even be able to concentrate on the exam.
"Situ Mansion can't compete, but our government can! If I don't take revenge, it will be hard to eliminate the hatred in my heart! "How could Duanmu Xuan swallow this breath.
"Brother Xuan. You have to endure it, and you have to endure it if you don't have it, unless you can make the Great Situ Mansion completely disappear from the Wu Kingdom overnight. Otherwise, how could they not retaliate. Of course, they don't dare to do anything to the Guogong Mansion, but what about the elder brother. What about me! I can hide. You can hide, my brother still has to be an official, I can't let my brother follow me to live the days of hiding and hiding in the future! And after this meeting, my brother is going to marry Miss Gongsun. I really don't want to be in trouble at this point! ”
"But Yan'er, he almost hurt you!" Duanmu Xuan wanted to say that Cheng Feng almost took Situ Yan's life, but in this case, he didn't even dare to say a word, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to suppress the fire. The next moment he was going to kill Cheng Feng.
"Isn't he unharmed? And five more dead men were broken. It can be regarded as a warning to him! ”
"Yan'er, you don't say it often. If someone deceives you for a point, will you pay it back a hundredfold? Why do you want to let Cheng Feng go this time? Although Situ Yan understood what Duanmu Xuan said, this breath was really uncomfortable in his chest.
"Who said I won't pay it back, it's just that I won't pay it back for the time being. Dare to make a move on me, Cheng Feng will never think about having a good life in his life. It's just that I don't want to make trouble right now! Duanmu Xuan realized that his Yan'er did not take revenge, but only did not take revenge for the time being.
"Yan'er, one day you think the time has come, you don't need to make a move, this breath is up to me, otherwise I will have to hold back my internal injuries!"
"Okay, you come to vent for me, I'm happy to watch the show!" Li Sanlang watched the little sister and Duanmu Xuan talking, although he had feelings before, but since he beat the little sister to confess to him, now that he looks at the two of them, he will inevitably feel sad.
Situ Yan glanced at it lightly, what could she say and what she could do. Since you can't afford it, it's better not to say anything and do nothing. The word "love" is really the most hurtful.
In fact, even if Situ Yan didn't go to Cheng Feng's trouble, he himself would be scared to death. stayed in Da Situ Mansion day and night, and even at night there were no guards of thirty or fifty to guard, and he didn't even dare to sleep, for fear that Duanmu Xuan would take advantage of the night to send him to play chess with Lord Yama.
The shock was not decided until the end of the test, and when Situ Jin returned home, he saw that Duanmu Xuan had not yet come to the door, so he felt a little relieved. thought that Duanmu Xuan didn't think that this matter had anything to do with him. even pretended to be kind to the boss Tufu to say hello to Situ. It's just that Situ Mansion closed the door to thank customers, and he didn't even send the gift list in, so he was blocked out by the door.
Situ Yan didn't tell Situ Jin about this, but she also reminded him to go out and bring more people, only saying that someone was killed in the suburbs of Beijing, and there were Jiangyang thieves in the capital. Situ did not doubt that he had him, but he rarely went out of the house.
Three days later, Situ Jin was sent to the high school and was scheduled to take the palace examination with Wu Huiyuan after the martial arts examination. The name of Situ Mansion has once again become the talk of the people in Beijing. Even rumors about Situ Yan have been revealed, and even more so, it is even said that Situ Jin's huiyuan was obtained by his sister through witchcraft.
"Brother, it's the little sister who is tired of your reputation!"
"Yan'er, you and I are brothers and sisters, and it's not your fault! When the palace is tested, he will do his best for his brother, and when the emperor tries it himself, he will not believe it for his brother, and then there will be people who dare to say irresponsible things! Situ Jin is miserable these days, but it is not because of himself, but because of his little sister. His little sister is the dragon and phoenix among the people, and the female masterpiece Zhuge . But now it is rumored to be the reincarnation of a fox fairy. Why are so many wicked people in the world able to live logically, but his little sister has to suffer since she was a child. He hated himself for being incompetent, and hated himself for failing to protect his little sister.
"Brother, you know I never care what people say. Those who understand me will understand me without me saying more, and those who don't understand me will be useless even if I explain. I live with a clear conscience, why do my brothers blame themselves! ”
"Yan'er, if it weren't for my brother's incompetence, how could your dignified eldest lady of Situ Mansion be said to be so unbearable!"
"It's unbearable. What's wrong with fox fairies, if they want to become immortals and become Buddhas, they may not be able to do it! ”
"Yan'er! No nonsense! ”
"Alright, brother, what's the matter!"
"Yan'er, do you know that if this word reaches the ears of the Duchess of the Kingdom, I am afraid that your relationship with Ziheng will be even more difficult!"
"It's Brother Xuan who is worried, what am I worried about! He can convince his mother that I will marry, and I can't not marry if it's a big deal! ”
"Yes, what Yan'er said is right! Don't worry! The brother and sister were chatting happily when they heard a voice outside the house. The person who came was Duanmu Xuan, and as soon as he arrived, he heard Situ Yan's high-level remarks, such amazing words, and only his Yan'er said it so easily.
"Okay, you're not in a hurry, what else do I have to hurry! Anyway, Yan'er still has two years to get ahead, and if Ziheng can't persuade the Duchess to accept the little sister, I will marry my sister to someone else! Situ Jin was angry in his heart, and directly glanced at Duanmu Xuan.
"Zhongxian, I will not disappoint you!" Duanmu Xuancai is not afraid of whether his mother agrees, it's a big deal that he is not a son of this world, and his mother can only compromise in the end. And when he became a relative, he opened another house, and he would not let Situ Yan suffer anyway.
"Brother, you still want to think about when to add a housewife to Situ Mansion! It also makes it easier for my little sister, otherwise I will be annoyed by these trivial things before I get married! ”
"Yan'er, you must not be rude in front of the guests!"
"Brother Xuan is also a guest! I see that this place is almost half of his home, you see that he comes every day at dawn, and he doesn't come back until the curfew, I thought this mansion had changed its surname to Duanmu! A few people talked and laughed, but there was less worry before.
But when it was night, when Situ Yan was alone, she would inevitably feel sad, she asked herself if she hadn't offended anyone, nor had she harmed anyone, but why she had lived so hard in her previous life or in this life. Since God intends to let her live again, why can't he give her a smooth life.
Is it really as the original Wuming Zen Master said, the cycle of cause and effect! She doesn't believe in fate or heaven, but she is also a human being and can be tired. Carrying everyone's hopes and responsibilities, how long will she have to endure and how long will she have to suffer before she can live the life she wants.
smiled bitterly at the mirror, in fact, all this was not her own fault, if she chose Li Sanlang, followed him back to Fuxiang Village, farmed and weaved cloth to live an ordinary life, maybe the ordinary life she wanted was at her fingertips. But she chose Duanmu Xuan, as far as his identity is concerned, her future is destined to be full of thorns and ups and downs.
"Situ Yan, don't you regret it? You don't already know what you're going to face, so what do you have to complain about! Since you have chosen the road, you have to bear it yourself! Situ Yan cheered up, come on! "In the previous life, it has long been a habit to encourage yourself in the mirror, but I don't want this habit to be brought to this life. Maybe that's life! It's the life she has to bear! (To be continued.) )
