Chapter 52: Shameless and Ruthless

Hearing the news, Lan Zhi's first reaction was to run to the Guogong Mansion, and after running halfway, she stopped in amazement, looked back at Wei Qingqing and opened her mouth, and immediately knelt down: "Miss, the slave is just ......"

"That's it."

Wei Qingqing glanced at her lightly, got up and asked Lan Zhi a few words, and learned that Old Lady Chen came with her son Chen Kang, so he was not joking, but real.

"Go inform Guo Qing to find out what happened to the Chen family, and Lan Sheng will go to the front hall with me."

Wei Qingqing said that, and went forward.

Lan Sheng obediently complied, glanced at Lan Zhi with warning before leaving, and then followed.

Before arriving at the front hall, I saw that the dowry brought by the Chen family was placed at the gate from the front hall, and the bright red color was particularly dazzling, but no matter how dazzling it was, it was also a marriage for the dead, and it was a secret marriage, not to mention that Wei Qingqing was the future daughter-in-law of the Guogong Mansion, which was a sure thing.

Old Mrs. Chen is not a foolish person, he knows that he is doing this against the Guogong Mansion, and he is still making such a big fanfare, but he is afraid that he has to force the Guogong Mansion to make a move.

Wei Qingqing remembered Rong Che, who had quietly left Beijing a few days ago, could it have anything to do with him?

Thinking about it. The man had already arrived at the gate.

But when I arrived, I saw Chen Sanniang in a red dress and looking around with red eyes, obviously she was waiting for someone.

"Miss Chen."

Wei Qingqing stepped forward and interrupted her gaze.

When Chen Sanniang saw that it was her, she was not as sarcastic as before, but just glared at her hatefully, and then turned her head and went inside.

Lan Sheng felt strange and whispered to Wei Qingqing: "When the slave maid came. After inquiring, it was said that the lady of the Chen family in the palace seemed to have been reprimanded by the Queen Mother, and Mrs. Chen had no choice but to marry Miss Chen soon. ”

Wei Qingqing raised her eyebrows slightly, no wonder Chen Sanniang looked left and right, she wanted her eldest brother to appear.

"You go and tell Da Ming, no matter what, don't let the eldest brother step into this vicinity." Wei Qingqing advised. Chen Sanniang is not a sober person, she has been forced to this day, she still doesn't know what means she will come up with, if she is really called to rely on the eldest brother, the eldest brother will definitely be pinched by Mrs. Chen!

Lan Sheng looked worriedly into the flower hall, and inside the old lady Chen's face was as heavy as iron, and she looked like she had eaten the Wei family.

"It's okay, he can't help me."

Chen An's death was personally found out by Rong Ruizhang to have nothing to do with the Wei family, as long as there is no such handle, the Chen family will not succeed today!

Wei Qingqing said. So he went straight into the hall.

But as soon as he walked into the hall, Chen Kang slammed the table and scolded Wei Qingshan: "Look, this is your Wei family's tutor, there are no rules like this, and it is also thanks to you, a six-grade official, who can raise it!" ”

Wei Qingshan's face turned pale for a while, he glanced at Wei Qingqing, and whispered: "Qingqing, what are you doing?" This is an adult's business, so you can go back first. ”

"It's my daughter who is reckless."

Wei Qingqing glanced at Chen Kang and the old lady Chen who was staring coldly at his side, and only said to Wei Qingshan: "My daughter just lost the phoenix-patterned jade bracelet given by the Duchess of the Kingdom, so I want my father to ask someone to help find it." It's strange to say, this bracelet is usually in her daughter's makeup box, why is it missing now? ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Without waiting for Wei Qingshan to react, Chen Kang stared at Wei Qingqing with an unkind face and asked.

Everyone knows that the phoenix-patterned bracelet of the Duchess is given by the Queen Mother, who dares to steal it? That's a big crime of killing the head, what she means by this is actually the Chen family's hands?

Wei Qingqing looked at Wei Qingshan, who was frowning and seemed to be hesitating, and secretly pinched his palms, making his face look a little pale, before looking at Chen Kang and said, "What does Lord Chen think the courtiers mean?" ”

"You ——!"

Chen Kang saw that she dared to stab herself with words, and his heart was even more unhappy, and he was about to stand up with a black face.

But he didn't mean to do it, but Wei Qingqing took two steps back as if he was frightened, which made people feel that Chen Kang was going to do something to her little girl, and Wei Qingshan immediately stopped doing it.

"Lord Chen!"

As soon as Wei Qingshan's fist clenched in the soft bun for a long time, he stood in front of Wei Qingqing with a slightly thin chest, and looked at Chen Kang with a fierce voice and said in a deep voice: "Although Lord Chen's official position is higher than that of Weichen, but here is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the minister is such a daughter, if even she can't protect her, the minister doesn't need to wear this official hat!" ”

Old lady Chen heard this, the folds next to the old eyes squeezed, Wei Qingshan is notoriously cautious, and although he is now from the sixth grade, he is the Dali Temple Cheng who holds the real power, it is not a good thing to really force him to be anxious.

"Kang'er." Old lady Chen called out to Chen Kang.

Chen Kang knew what he meant, although he was unwilling, but in the end he gritted his teeth and sat back.

However, Old Lady Chen looked at Wei Qingqing deeply, and Wei Qingqing looked back at him without any timidity, without the slightest sign of cowardice.

Old lady Chen was secretly frightened, even his own son Chen Kang, who had been in the officialdom for so long, was stunned when he faced his eyes, this teenage yellow-haired girl was not afraid at all, but with a little provocation, is there a Guogong Mansion behind her?

"Miss Wei, if you suspect that the Chen family stole your bracelet, just ask someone to search for it."

"Daddy——!"

"That's it!"

Old Lady Chen interrupted Chen Kang's words, and only looked at Wei Qingqing with a gentle expression.

But Old Lady Chen was like this, Wei Qingshan was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly apologized: "It's the little girl who is ignorant, and the Chen family has just entered the house." I didn't go to the backyard at all, how could I steal the little girl's hairpin. ”

Wei Qingqing sighed secretly in her heart, Old Lady Chen was afraid that she would dare to bully her father because of her father's literati temperament who eats soft and does not eat hard.

"That's what Daddy said." Wei Qingqing looked at the old lady Chen and said: "Everyone in the Chen family is a fair and honest gentleman, and it is the courtiers who are just impulsive, and I hope that the old lady will not be surprised." ”

On the one hand, Chen Kang heard the words 'bright and fair', his mouth pursed tightly, and Mrs. Chen's eyes also darkened a little, but he ate this sullen loss, and directly diverted the topic and talked about the marriage.

"This time, the Queen Mother reprimanded Concubine Niangniang for not following the rules, and we came back to our senses, the Chen family did not follow the rules. At the beginning of the withdrawal, An'er was messing around, neither invited the matchmaker at the time to come to the door, nor did the Chen family members come to the door, so according to the rules of our dynasty, this divorce is not established. Since the Queen Mother has spoken, we naturally dare not slack off, Lord Wei, are you right? Old Lady Chen looked at Wei Qingshan and said earnestly.

Wei Qingshan listened to him one by one's 'Queen Mother's words', if he refuted it, wouldn't it be a big rebellion?

But if you don't refute it, do you really ask Qingqing to marry Chen An, and she can't live as a widow for the rest of her life.

"The old lady's words have a point." Wei Qingshan spoke.

Wei Qingqing thought that he was forced to compromise, and he didn't have too much blame in his heart. If it was replaced by the former General's Mansion, I was afraid that I would have thrown out this hot potato myself.

Wei Qingqing's expression was calm, and he was about to speak when he stepped forward, but he saw Wei Qingshan looking at Old Lady Chen with green tendons on his forehead, and spoke: "But whether it is in line with the rules or not, the Chen family has also returned the Ding's relatives, and they have never come to the door to explain this matter when they went to the Guogong Mansion, but now they want to come to the door to talk about this marriage, isn't it even more unruly?" ”

"Lord Wei, are you saying this late from the Queen Mother?" Chen Kang's eyes sank, and his tone was already very impatient.

Old lady Chen didn't stop it, he only lowered his head and drank tea, he believed that Wei Qingshan was not a stupid person, although the Guogong Mansion was a high-ranking family, but he offended the Queen Mother, maybe he didn't wait for the next day The divorce letter of the Guogong Mansion was delivered, Wei Qingshan didn't want to step into the officialdom again, and the decades of hard work in the first half of his life were in vain.

"Nature is ......"

"The Queen Mother is a person who understands righteousness, Old Man Chen, you are too old to bully a yellow flower girl, are you ashamed?"

Before Wei Qingshan could answer, a voice that had obviously not woken up came from outside the door.

Wei Qingqing looked back and saw Ge Lao, who was still drunk, but Ge Lao took the opportunity to wink at her.

"It turned out to be Ge Lao. But you have long since gone into hiding, why are you still living in Wei Mansion now? Old Lady Chen smiled without panic at all, and didn't even get up.

Ge Lao gave him a cold look. sat down beside Chen Kang by himself, deliberately burped at him, and saw Chen Kang's dark face before he smiled: "Your father is confused, the Queen Mother is a person from the inner palace, where is she so long that she wants to take care of the marriage of the children of a six-grade official?" ”

"The Queen Mother is aware of the people's feelings......"

Chen Kang was righteous, but he was directly slapped by Ge Lao.

Chen Kang was so angry that he wanted to get up, but he was glared back by Old Lady Chen with a cold eye.

Ge Lao watched their father and son interact, and then looked at Wei Qingqing with his legs crossed: "Xiao Qingqing, there is a master here today, and the master and the first emperor have also met each other, and now the master wants to see, who dares to ruin the reputation of the queen mother, and use her words as chicken feathers and arrows to do nonsense here?" Match a living yellow flower girl with a dead man, I bah, my conscience is called a pickled thing in the dog's mouth. ”

Chen Kang was so angry that his hands were trembling.

Old Lady Chen's face is not good-looking, but he can't just give up now, if he can't grasp Wei Qingqing's handle. Rong Che must have ripped his lair!

But before Old Lady Chen continued to fight with Old Ge, Chen Sanniang suddenly ran to the door and shouted out stupidly: "Eldest son, you are finally here, I have been waiting for you for a long time." If you don't want me, I won't live. ”

Wei Qingqing immediately frowned, this fool, thinking that if she said this, she would not marry the eldest brother? This will only make her more cheap, but she is everyone's best girl, even if she has a bad reputation, she doesn't rush to stick it on other men!

"Where did Miss Chen read the excerpts in this book, and she actually learned such tiger and wolf words." Wei Qingqing stepped forward and pulled Chen Sanniang, wanting her to wake up, and glanced at Wei Xun who was striding here, and sure enough, Fang Zijiao was also by his side, but Da Ming followed behind with a slightly gloomy face.

This Fang Zijiao!

"I didn't learn it, these are my heartfelt words." Chen Sanniang shook off Wei Qingqing's hand with red eyes, and looked at Wei Xun who came with an indifferent face with tears in her eyes, and choked up: "Eldest son, I only have you in my heart, since you saved me that day, I have decided that you will not marry in this life." Eldest son, can you marry me! ”

"Miss Chen is infatuated."

Fang Zijiao followed Wei Xun and said in a low voice: "I heard that if she goes back this time, she will be married off casually, and now the people in the capital who are willing to marry her are not those lowly ordinary people." It's the poor Xiucai who wants to climb to the Chen family through her, it's really pitiful. ”

Wei Xun's eyebrows tightened a little.

"There are more poor people in this world." Wei Qingqing glanced at Fang Zijiao coldly, then looked at Wei Xun and said, "Big brother's autumn test is coming, don't delay for the sake of your children." ”

Wei Qingqing didn't want to tell him not to marry Chen Sanniang directly, so he could only hint, but the old lady Chen seemed to have grasped some trick: "My family's Sanniang is a young court training, and she is also a good daughter who knows the knowledge of the three from the four virtues, if she is not tempted, she will never say such a thing." ”

Wei Qingshan's face was not very good-looking. But he also knows what his son's character is: "Old lady, Xun'er can't be ......"

"It's impossible to do anything, can't you teach Sanniang privately? If this is the case, how could Sanniang be so confused and say such self-defeating words in front of everyone, which has never been done before. Chen Kang snorted coldly.

Ge Lao also frowned when he heard this.

Wei Qingqing is Wei Qingshan's baby daughter, and Chen Sanniang is also the daughter of the Chen family. It is the Wei family that has fallen behind, and the lady in the palace of the Chen family wants to blow a few words of wind in the emperor's ear, don't say that Wei Qingshan, even the Guogong Mansion has to be involved.

What is the actual situation of the Guogong Mansion now, Ge Lao knows it very well, it seems that this time Old Lady Chen can not come to the door to force marriage, I am afraid that Rong Che is in Jiangnan, and he is really pinching his lifeline.

"I have nothing to do with Miss Chen." Wei Xun entered the doorway.

Wei Qingqing sighed secretly, although the eldest brother is smart, he has only studied for half his life, how can he fight the old fox of Old Lady Chen?

"But the eldest prince ......"

"Miss Chen's self-respect!" Wei Xun's tone was a little cold, although he also felt pity for Chen Sanniang in his heart, but the Chen family was here to bully the little sister today, and he must not pity Chen Sanniang anymore.

Chen Sanniang saw that he was so resolute, as if he had been hit, and bit his lip and said, "If the eldest prince refuses to ask me, I will die here today." "Anyway, after going back today, she will also be casually married to a pariahs and then driven away by the Chen family, rather than this, it is better to force Wei Xun to death!

After thinking about it, Chen Sanniang hit the pillar headlong.

The people in the room suddenly had different moods, but the two fathers and sons of the Chen family had indifferent smiles in their eyes, but with Ge Lao here, how could Chen Sanniang commit suicide?

Soon, Chen Sanniang was thrown to the ground by Ge Lao's neck.

Seeing this, Fang Zijiao squinted his eyes and was about to step forward to pick up Chen Sanniang, he wished that Wei Xun would marry Chen Sanniang, with Chen Sanniang who loves vanity and has a mushy brain, it will be easier for him to take Wei Xun in the future.

But as soon as he took two steps forward, he felt that his heel was kicked violently, and he stumbled in pain, and turned his head to see Ge Lao reaching out to help him, but before he could feel at ease, he was inexplicably thrown directly outside the flower hall by a clever force and fell a dog to eat.

Wei Qingqing withdrew her foot, glanced at Ge Lao gratefully, and then stepped forward to support Chen Sanniang. With his back to the Chen family's dead end, he quietly leaned over with Chen Sanniang and said: "If you really want to marry the eldest brother, shut up immediately and go back and wait, otherwise you will destroy him today, and he will definitely die with you." ”

Chen Sanniang looked at Wei Qingqing, who actually made an idea for her, in amazement, and wanted to open her mouth, but Wei Qingqing only looked at her coldly and warned: "The Chen family deliberately brought you here today with a broken flower and a willow, just to force you to death, and then force me to marry Chen An, can't you see this?" ”

"I ......"

Of course, Chen Sanniang knew that the Chen family didn't really treat her, and she also hated the Chen family's unkind relatives, so she immediately bit her lip: "Will Gongzi Wei really marry me?" ”

"Isn't he being forced by you to have no other choice? If you die, he won't talk about the autumn test, I'm afraid that he will be poked in the backbone for the rest of his life. Wei Qingqing finished speaking indifferently, and heard footsteps coming from behind, so he picked up Chen Sanniang and turned to face Chen Kang, who was walking quickly.

Chen Kang glanced at Wei Qingqing suspiciously, then looked at Chen Sanniang and asked, "Sanniang." If you have anything to say, just tell your uncle, who will make decisions for you, so why should you sacrifice your life in vain? ”

Chen Sanniang looked at Chen Kang's eyes and wished that he was dead, and sneered: "It's nothing, I'm confused." ”

After Chen Sanniang finished speaking, she got up by herself: "Uncle, I'm tired, I'm going back to rest." Moreover, I believe that the eldest prince will give me an explanation! After speaking, Chen Sanniang reluctantly looked at Wei Xun, turned around and left.

"Sanniang, you ......"

"What's the matter, you have to watch your niece die here?" Old Ge stopped Chen Kang's footsteps and looked at Old Lady Chen behind him with a sneer: "I have lived to the present time when the loess is buried to my neck, and it is the first time I have seen your family so shameless and ruthless." ”

"Ge Lao is cautious!" Chen Kang really didn't want to deal with this drunkard old man who was not in the court at all, but Old Lady Chen still stopped Chen Kang in the end, whether Ge Lao was useless or not, he knew best who had been an official in the same dynasty with him.

"That's it, today Lord Wei abandons my grandson without rules, and Lord Wei doesn't abandon my granddaughter with affection, my Chen family is not blessed, and I can't climb the Wei family.

Old Lady Chen sighed and said, glanced at Wei Qingshan coldly, and led the Chen family away directly.

Wei Qingshan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, but Chen Kang only flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly: "Lord Wei has long stopped taking us seriously, and now he is still doing such a fake thing, it doesn't make people disgusting!" ”

Wei Qingshan couldn't say a word, and after watching the Chen family leave with a white face, he saluted to Ge Lao with some weakness: "If you don't dislike it, it's better to stay and have a cup of tea." ”

Ge Laocai was reluctant to get involved in the court disputes, he just came to protect Wei Qingqing.

"No, old man, I've drunk too much wine today, and I'm very tired." Ge Lao said, waved his hand and left, and by the way, he pulled away Wei Hu, who came after realizing it.

Wei Qingshan's face turned a little pale, Wei Qingqing looked at him almost crumbling, too, although his father was upright before, he had never had such a head-on confrontation with a member of the imperial court, who didn't study hard for decades to fight until now?

Wei Qingqing felt guilty, and it wasn't until Lan Zhi appeared outside the door and quietly signaled to her that Wei Qingqing put away the emotion in her heart: "Daddy, my daughter will go back to the room first." ”

"There you go."

Wei Qingshan tried to squeeze out a smile, but it was more ugly than crying: "You don't have to worry about the Chen family, you have a father." ”

"I won't let you marry into the Chen family." Wei Xun followed.

Wei Qingqing watched them take care of themselves one by one and still wanted to protect her, and the small flames in her heart lit up, she was still sure that she wanted to deal with a Chen family.

"Hmm."

Wei Qingqing nodded, obediently exited the door, glanced at Fang Zijiao, who was standing next to the eldest brother again, and walked into the courtyard with cold eyes.

These people, really think that the Wei family is a piece of mud, can anyone come and pinch it!
