Chapter 54: No Retreat
"What's wrong with your young lady?"
Rong Ruizhang asked Lan Sheng directly.
Wei Qingshan was still stunned for a moment, and also looked at Lan Sheng.
Lan Sheng's palms clenched secretly, and he replied with his eyes down, "Miss is fine, but she is just tired." She was going to tell Wei Qingshan that something might happen to Wei Qingqing, but Rong Ruizhang was here, she knew how wary Miss was of this person, and after weighing it again, she decided not to tell Wei Qingshan first, and just wait to find Ge Lao and Wei Hu in private.
But Rong Ruizhang is a suspicious person, the more Lan Sheng doesn't say it, the more likely he knows that something will happen.
"Since I have recovered this phoenix bracelet, I should return it to Miss Wei in person."
Rong Ruizhang said, got up and was about to go to the backyard.
Wei Xun immediately got up and stopped him: "Prime Minister, it's not early, Qingqing is still waiting to be married, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to go over at this moment." ”
"Losing the phoenix-patterned jade bracelet given by the Queen Mother is a capital crime." Rong Ruizhang threatened Wei Xun indifferently, and when he saw that Wei Xun no longer spoke, he walked straight to the backyard.
Wei Qingshan glanced at the phoenix bracelet, only a deep sense of powerlessness, he had heard people say that the officialdom was sinister, and he didn't feel it when he was a magistrate in a small county, but now when he arrived in the capital, he finally realized what it was'body like duckweed', he was a dignified Dali Temple from the sixth grade, but in the eyes of these magnates in the capital, he was not as good as ants.
"Prime Minister. The reputation of the daughter's family is still important, and the matter of this bracelet will definitely be investigated by the lower officials......"
Wei Qingshan wanted to stop Rong Ruizhang, but Rong Ruizhang didn't give him a chance at all, and walked to Wei Qingqing's courtyard in a few steps.
The two mothers-in-law in Wei Qingqing's yard saw the foreign man breaking in, and hurriedly tried to stop people, until they saw Wei Qingshan and Wei Xun also coming, they were a little relieved, and only guarded the door of the room and saluted.
"Get out of the way."
Rong Ruizhang said in a deep voice.
The mother-in-law hesitated. Seeing that Wei Qingshan was in a hurry, he lowered his head and pretended not to hear Rong Ruizhang's orders.
Rong Ruizhang's face was slightly gloomy, he didn't know what was wrong, he was actually worried about Wei Qingqing's safety.
"Wei Qingqing, are you unwell?" Rong Ruizhang asked directly into the room.
But at this moment, in the room, Wei Qingqing didn't dare to move half a step at all, she let Helian Zifeng hold her, but as soon as Rong Ruizhang's voice came, Helian Zifeng's restrained teeth immediately bit into her flesh, and the pain made her snort and almost cry.
"Zifeng, I won't go with the people outside, you calm down."
Wei Qingqing endured the pain and comforted Helian Zifeng, and the silver needle that was held up behind Helian Zifeng had to be put away first. Helian Zifeng was extremely sensitive, if he knew that he was going to stun him, he was really afraid that he would be sucked dry tonight.
But Rong Ruizhang didn't know the situation inside, and seeing that Wei Qingqing didn't make a sound, he concluded that something must have happened to her: "Wei Qingqing, if you don't speak, I'm going to go in!" ”
Wei Qingqing can't wait to bite this man who has pit her for half her life!
"Purple Wind."
Wei Qingqing put her arms around Helian Zifeng's waist comfortingly. Gently reassured: "You wait for me here for a while, and I'll be back right away, okay?" ”
Helian Zifeng felt her take the initiative to get closer, and his chaotic eyes cleared a little: "Will you come back?" ”
"Yes!"
Wei Qingqing replied seriously: "Just half a moment, I'll drive the people outside away and come back immediately, okay?" ”
Helian Zifeng hesitated for a moment, hugged her in his arms for a while, and then looked at her with a little pleading and said in a low voice, "I must come back." ”
"Hmm."
Wei Qingqing looked at his struggling eyes, and didn't even dare to wipe the blood on his neck in front of him, only waiting for Helian Zifeng to turn around, he took out a handkerchief and covered his neck and turned around and went out.
But even if he came out, Wei Qingqing didn't go to the bright place, but stood in the dark through the curtain of the flower hall, staring coldly at Rong Ruizhang, who seemed anxious outside: "Xiangye came to the courtier's daughter so late, what is the important thing that can't be done?" ”
"You're alright."
Rong Ruizhang saw that she was still alive, and unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but became angry again: "Then why didn't you answer when I called you a few times?" ”
Wei Qingqing looked at him who still couldn't help but be arrogant in front of him, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a hint of sarcasm: "How does the prime minister want his courtiers to respond?" The courtiers are in the boudoir, and now in the middle of the night, the prime minister suddenly came to call the courtiers, do the courtiers not want this reputation or don't want this life? ”
Rong Ruizhang frowned, he didn't like Wei Qingqing to go toe-to-toe with him like this!
"Qingqing, the prime minister suddenly discovered your phoenix-patterned bracelet, so he came to the door."
Wei Qingshan didn't want Rong Ruizhang to mess around here, so he stepped forward and directly diverted the topic: "Now that this bracelet has been found, you will go to the Guogong Mansion with me tomorrow to make amends." ”
"The bracelet that Xiangye found is a fake."
Wei Qingqing didn't even have to look at it to know that long before Qiu Ling stole the phoenix bracelet, Wei Qingqing ordered Lan Zhi to quietly find someone to copy one. Otherwise, how could she use such a terrible thing as bait?
Qiu Ling, who was following outside, heard this, her eyelashes flashed, and she looked into the room in amazement, but saw Wei Qingqing staring at her with a solemn gaze, and when she knew that all her actions were already in Wei Qingqing's eyes, she couldn't help but weaken her legs and almost collapsed to the ground.
"The real bracelet daughter keeps it well, but it's late tonight, and the daughter is going to rest, so I'll show it to my father tomorrow."
Wei Qingqing said that, and went back to the room directly, because the blood on her neck was flowing more and more, and she was afraid that if she delayed any longer, she would be discovered.
It's just that as soon as she entered the room, Rong Ruizhang caught a glimpse of the tall purple figure in the room.
Helian Purple Wind!
Rong Ruizhang was stunned, Wei Qingqing refused to come out, it turned out to be a tryst with Helian Zifeng in the room!
But that Helian Zifeng seemed to deliberately let Rong Ruizhang see it, as soon as Wei Qingqing entered, he wrapped his long arms and hugged Wei Qingqing and closed the door with a bang.
"Bastard!"
Rong Ruizhang felt a sense of humiliation of being cuckolded, and he was about to go forward, but Wei Xun stopped him: "Xiangye, since the bracelet is fine, then you are not suitable to go further." Well, it's your future aunt too. ”
The word 'aunt' pierced Rong Ruizhang's heart like a thorn.
"Since I'm an aunt, how can I watch her ...... with other men?"
"Xiangye is not like the Chen family today. Coming to kill my Wei family? Wei Xun interrupted him solemnly.
Rong Ruizhang looked at Wei Xun and knew that he must have not seen Helian Zifeng of Fang Cai, and this family now trusts Wei Qingqing, the favored champion, is this the reason why Wei Qingqing has no fear?
Rong Ruizhang looked at Wei Qingqing's door unwillingly, but there was no excuse to go in again, and after hesitating for a while, he had to leave and leave.
Today, he wanted to ask Wei Qingqing to beg him through the bracelet matter, as long as she was willing to beg him, he would definitely solve the troublesome matter of the Chen family for her, but he didn't expect it......
"Slut!"
Back at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Rong Ruizhang was still unwilling.
"Xiangye, what's wrong with you?"
When Aunt Wen came to serve, she saw that he was unhappy again, and secretly thought in her heart that she must have gone to Miss Liupin to be angry again, so she turned her mind and said softly: "The concubine heard that the Guogong Mansion invited the young lady of the Wei family to participate in the flower viewing banquet for a few days. ”
"Flower viewing?"
Rong Ruizhang inadvertently glanced at Aunt Wen, and then saw that her carefully combed hair was full of gorgeous hairpins, one of which was a valuable ruby inlaid hairpin, this is something in Wei Qingqing's dowry, why did she wear it on her head? How could her mother allow her to wear it on her head?
Don't...... Mother doesn't have time to take care of these things?
Thinking of this, Rong Ruizhang's eyes instantly sank a little, it was difficult to do it. Is she still thinking about removing Wei Qingqing from the Prime Minister's Mansion?
"For flower appreciation, it would be best if you could invite her."
After Rong Ruizhang finished speaking, he got up and called the little servant Gong Chang to go out.
Aunt Wen couldn't understand it, and she didn't dare to shout at Rong Ruizhang's indifferent back after chasing her to the door a few steps, but it was Fluttershy who reminded her that she bit her lip.
"Xiangye was really fascinated by the fox spirit." Fluttershy said indignantly, otherwise she would be dressed up so well today, and she wouldn't even have a corner of her eye.
Aunt Wen squinted at Fluttershy, "In that case, I'm going to invite Miss Wei to come and see what a country and city she is." By the way, the eldest sister was born for a day today, you want to ask Liuli to poke the bills of the eldest sister and her mother to Xiangye, their food and clothing are thousands of taels a month, where is the silver in Xiangfu? ”
Fluttershy couldn't help but glance at Aunt Wen, there were more than a thousand taels of her alone, she was too embarrassed to take care of the eldest lady and the old lady?
But in retrospect, Fluttershy goes to find Ruri anyway. It didn't take long for Aunt Wen to get back a stack of house deeds: "Aunt Liuli said that she was injured and bone-inducing, and it was already difficult to manage these housework, so please take care of it." ”
Aunt Wen looked at the thick pile of house deeds, and her hand stopped drinking bird's nest, but she raised her hand as if she didn't care: "Take the box and keep it carefully." ”
"Yes."
Fluttershy pouts her lips when she sees her greed written in her eyes but pretends to be noble, and then goes down to clean up her things.
Just waited for the things to be cleaned up and ready to go to the kitchen for a tooth sacrifice, and saw that the mothers-in-law in the kitchen were setting up wine and food and talking in private, talking about the Xu family.
"The eldest lady is not so smart. It was very strange that she could hear those words about the Xu family that day. ”
"Yes, there is only one Aunt Wen who is the smartest person in our house, and she had a fight with the eldest lady a while ago."
Everyone hurriedly chimed in.
Fluttershy pouts, smart? Aunt Wen is just relying on Xiangye's favor, if Xiangye pampers herself, she will definitely be stronger than her, who does not touch the spring water with her ten fingers.
Thinking so, Fluttershy coughs disapprovingly and walks inside.
When everyone saw that it was her, they quickly got up and saluted, and courted themselves diligently, but they didn't dare to mention a word about Fang Cai's words, only praising Fluttershy for being smart and beautiful, and it would be a loss for Yunyun to be a little girl in the future.
When she hears that she wants to be matched, Fluttershy is upset, "Who told you that your aunt would match me to a girl?" ”
The mother-in-law headed by "this ......" looked at everyone hesitantly, and then said in a low voice: "The girl still doesn't know?" This has spread in private, and the porter Zhao's mother has already begged Aunt Wen to let her give her the son of the stable steward as soon as you are old. ”
"Mother Zhao? Phew, what is she. She deserves it too! ”
Fluttershy immediately fell back in anger, remembering that Xiang Ye didn't even look at her today, and it wasn't because Aunt Wen asked her to stand far away and didn't ask her to serve by Xiang Ye's side at all!
After a few glasses of wine, Fluttershy now only felt her blood surge, and remembered what her mothers had just discussed, so she told them in a low voice that the Xu family's affairs were actually secretly caused by Aunt Wen.
In the middle of the night, after sending Fluttershy away, the mothers disperse, except for the one who took the lead to go to the hut and went around to the corner gate where no one was around.
"Uncle, it's all done as you said." Mother-in-law is diligent.
"Good." Guo Qing threw a piece of silver to her: "Next time such a good thing, I will naturally look for you, so that your family can live a stable life." ”
The mother-in-law was holding the silver, where did she dare to have two hearts, and when she remembered that when she came home last night and saw the whole family tied up and waited with knives, she trembled.
Guo Qing saw that the things here were done, and thought about Chen Sanniang's things again, so he returned to the Wei Mansion leisurely.
When he was about to come and talk back to Wei Qingqing, he sensed the breath of Helian Zifeng in the room.
"Wei Xiaonizi?"
Guo Qing posted in the shadow of the window and shouted into the room.
Wei Qingqing glanced at the shadow on the window, stepped forward and opened the window, and Guo Qing also saw the person behind her who was already lying on her bed and fell asleep.
"It's ......"
"This is the Helian Purple Wind I want you to be more wary of." After Wei Qingqing finished speaking, Guo Qing still looked at her directly: "It's gone?" ”
Wei Qingqing was dumbfounded, what else could there be.
"His people will be outside the Wei Mansion, and you will see them when you return?" Wei Qingqing asked. The little guy next to Helian Zifeng has never left him an inch, and now that Helian Zifeng suddenly broke in, the little guy must have known, but he didn't stop him......
Wei Qingqing couldn't help but feel a little upset, the former helper has now become a force that hinders her.
Guo Qing jumped in, and Lan Sheng Lan Zhi was already in the house.
Wei Qingqing glanced at the silver needle that was still piercing Helian Zifeng's snow-white neck, and said to Guo Qing: "Send him out." ”
"It's fine, otherwise so many people are coming in and out. That old man in your house must have found out. Guo Qing said, stepped forward and carried Helian Zifeng on his back, and quickly jumped out of the room.
Only when they disappeared into the darkness did Lan Zhi look at Wei Qingqing with a white face, and said, "Miss, the slave and maid are not well protected, please punish Miss!" ”
"Punish what?" Wei Qingqing went to the bronze mirror and looked at the wound on his neck, which was extremely hideous: "Go find some medicine, you only say that this injury is bitten by insects." You can't hide it. ”
"But Nahelian ......"
"It's just a weirdo, and he won't be looking for trouble for a while." Helian Zifeng didn't control it every time he entered the demon, and he had to rest for at least half a month. But he's controlled it well every time before, how can this be like this time, is something wrong?
Wei Qingqing couldn't have imagined that she didn't know much about Helian Zifeng before, this person was too mysterious, and she didn't let her know everything at all.
Lan Zhi wanted to say more, but was stopped by Lan Sheng.
"Miss wants to tell the second master about this?" Lan Sheng asked.
Thinking of Rong Che, Wei Qingqing directly refused.
Lan Sheng understood, didn't ask any more, and only fetched water to start cleaning her wounds.
After Guo Qing came back in the middle of the night, he told her about the Prime Minister's Mansion and Chen Sanniang: "That Chen Sanniang is indeed a person with a clear brain, I only asked a mother-in-law to lie to her that she could buy a kind of water called acacia water, and the man who drank it would only love her alone for the rest of his life, so she really went." Not only did he go, but in order to test the water spirit, he forced his maid to give the water to a poor Xiucai who was proficient in eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling near Chen's house to drink, but the poor Xiucai had already set his eyes on Chen Sanniang, made up a few sentences, and tricked Chen Sanniang into the bed. ”
Wei Qingqing was not surprised, the Chen family had already released words to marry Chen Sanniang, and it was only a matter of time before she would be targeted, but she didn't expect that she would put herself in it like this, and she didn't have to be ruthless herself.
"Shumei, this girl is loyal, if so, then give her a chance, let her escape and ask to come to the Wei Mansion." Wei Qingqing smeared the wound and said lightly.
"You really haven't left the Chen family with the slightest way out." Guo Qing sneered. If the scholar really asked for the Wei family, then no one would want to hide Chen Sanniang's.
The Chen family still wants to use this to control the Wei family? It's good not to be taken to death by those ministers in the court.
"Why should a woman be merciful to an enemy?" Wei Qingqing asked Guo Qing.
Guo Qing's hand holding the sword tightened, and he snorted at Wei Qingqing and went out.
Wei Qingqing thought about the next thing and instructed Lan Sheng: "Watch Qiu Ling, once she makes a move tomorrow." I grabbed it and sent it to my eldest brother, and when she cried and begged me, I would come back and forth. "The matter of the phoenix bracelet Wei Qingqing originally planned to save it for later use, but now it seems that the plan has to be advanced.
The night was dark, but no one noticed that after the Wei Mansion was quiet, a message was quietly sent out from the Wei Mansion.
When Rong Che received the letter, his eyes that were always calm were so cold that they could kill.
"It seems that the Chen family is really in a hurry, and they dare to make this decision. And the ...... of the purple wind of Nahelian"
"You can stay and deal with the rest of the matter here." Rong Che interrupted Kun.
Ah Kun was stupid, this Jiangnan operation, the second master had planned it for half a year, not to mention the danger, if there was a slight mistake and it was discovered by the people above, then the Guogong Mansion would face big trouble!
"Second master, this matter ......"
"I'll leave all my people to you." After Rong Che finished speaking, Ah Peng had already brought his horse outside.
"Do you really want to go back now, you have already exposed your whereabouts. Leaving at this time is undoubtedly a live target. The slave believes that Miss Wei will be fine for the time being, as long as she tells the Duchess of the Kingdom, and there is still an uncle in the house, and Miss Wei herself is smart......"
"She's smart." Rong Che glanced at Ah Kun coldly, but no matter how smart a person is, there are times when she is negligent, otherwise she would not have died in that fire that time: "But she also needs me." ”
Ah Kun looked at Rong Che who was gone with a dignified face, as if he had become the general of the evil god who single-handedly killed the 300,000 water bandits, and sighed helplessly, when the second master was forced to hand over military power in the past, he never saw him have the slightest panic, and the person who licked the blood from the knife edge did not take life and death to heart at all, but these few times he was messed up for a woman.
"The second master has returned to Beijing?"
The sound of horses' hooves was far away, and a female voice came from behind him, and even the little boy's reluctant cry: "Daddy, I want Daddy to woo woo......"
Ah Kun hurriedly turned around and saluted the woman: "The second master is in a hurry, madam, it's not safe here, you go back and rest first." ”
"Is it for that Miss Wei's business?" The woman asked again.
Ah Kun looked up at the woman in front of her, Hibiscus was like a face and apricot eyes like mist, and the beauty was amazing, but it was a pity......
The woman noticed the pity in Ah Kun's eyes, and smiled slightly: "I understand, don't worry, Tang'er and I will not go back to the capital when the second master is about to get married." If the second master can be happy, I am also very happy. ”
"Thank you, ma'am." Ah Kun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and only watched her gently coax the seven or eight-year-old child to walk away slowly, before turning around and telling Ah Peng: "Be sure to keep an eye on them." ”
"What are you worried about, Mrs. hasn't caused trouble for the second master for so many years, and now she knows that the second master is going to get married, and she has never said a word. I see, Madame knows how to measure. Peng said.
The more Ah Kun heard Ah Peng say this, the more complicated her heart became, over the years, the second master also looked at her like this, if it was really as Ah Peng said, she didn't think about the second master at all, it would be fine.
