Chapter 17: The Lonely Grave
Dongchang Mansion has been recuperating for decades, and it has always been very peaceful, but suddenly the tragedy of destroying the door happened, which originally provoked the whole mansion and talked about it.
In addition, the bitter lord is not only the in-laws of the Wen family, but also the nephews and housekeepers bite each other, and the noise is boiling, the government naturally does not dare to slack off, and after hearing the news, it will investigate it vigorously and resolutely.
The result of the thorough investigation is that Xi Xing and Xi Lian are not innocent!
As the nephew of Xi Zongwang, Xi Xing has coveted his uncle's property for a long time, and he has long had the intention of making money and killing him!
Because Xi Xing and Xi Zongwang are the same clan with traceable blood, his idea is to kill the male heirs of the Xi family, from Xi Zongwang to Xi Fuguang to Xi Jiao, and the female relative Xi Fuwei can not delay him from inheriting the family business, but also has a marriage contract with the Wen family.
As for Xi Lian, it seems that he is a reliable housekeeper of the Xi family, which is enough to rely on, but in fact, he owes a huge debt because of gambling outside, and wants to ask the owner for help, and he is afraid that the shrewd and powerful lady Xi Fuwei will not agree, and even after the incident, he can't even keep the position of the housekeeper, and he also has the idea of murdering the main family and blaming Xi Xing!
And Xi Lian only planned to kill Xi Fuguang and Xi Fuwei, as for the honest and deceitful Xi Zongwang and the young Xi Jiao, he planned to stay and use it as a cover for himself to control the Xi family.
Both of them were vicious, and they didn't know each other's plans, so they got together and made a move together, and by mistake, they actually wiped out the Xi family!
At this moment, both of them panicked, and in a hurry, they invariably regarded each other as scapegoats.
However, the government is not a waste, and the truth has been found out...... In this way, Xi Xing and Xi Lian will certainly not end well, and the Xi family does not exist in the end.
The whole Dongchang Mansion is very sorry for this family, saying that it is really terrible that Diao Nu still has evil relatives in these years, a good family, looking at the future of Pengcheng Wanli, saying that it is gone, and even a little blood has not been passed down, how can it not be stifled?
Of course, these are all things that are said on the scene, and many families are very happy and even happy in private.
After all, the Xi family, as an outsider, gradually has the intention of overpowering the local clan, how can the local side have no opinion at all?
Now that they are gone, the threat is gone, and the seat of the fiancée of the Wen family is also vacant...... I really think that the Xi family died well!
In the noisy discussions, many families can't wait to test Wen Xianyun's lifelong events.
After all......
This son of the Wen family should have been married a long time ago, and the reason why it has been delayed until now is nothing more than because his previous fiancée Xi Fuwei was young, and the Xi family loved her daughter, so she was reluctant to leave the cabinet early, and she was delayed, but she relented and agreed to discuss the marriage, but the person was gone.
Wen Xianyun will definitely not keep the festival for this fiancée, but the Wen family is a big family in Dongchang Mansion, and they have always attached great importance to Xi Fuwei.
Xi Fuwei only went at this time, and Wen Xianyun Bacheng would not be married again immediately, but ...... You can not announce it, but make a private agreement!
When the gentry who thought they were worthy of marrying the Wen family, Wen Xianyun, who was regarded as a target, stood expressionlessly in front of Xi Fuwei's grave at the moment, silent for a long time.
…… After the Xi family was wiped out, the Wen family went out to settle the aftermath.
According to the rules at this time, girls who have not left the cabinet are not good at entering the ancestral grave.
On the Wen family's side, because Xi Fuwei did not officially marry in, she did not agree to be buried in the Wen family's ancestral land.
Wen Xianyun finally chose a secluded and beautiful place for his fiancée, and personally supervised the construction of a very exquisite cemetery.
These days, he has come to see several times, each time he is lightly dressed, and when he arrives at the place, he is far away from the left and right, and he wanders alone in front of the grave for a long time before he leaves step by step.
When the matter spread, everyone in Dongchang Mansion praised him for valuing love and righteousness, Xi Fuwei was blessed, and he couldn't afford to enjoy such an affectionate fiancé.
At this moment, Wen Xianyun remembered such words, and the corners of his mouth subconsciously picked, evoking a sarcastic smile.
"Eldest son, you have been running here several times these days, and the sympathy and praise inside and outside have almost won you." The smile was not completely retracted, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps behind him, followed by the old man's slow voice, and said, "Towards the end of the year, there are many things in the house, Madame, please don't have to come over before the year...... Anyway, everyone is busy with the New Year at this time, and there won't be too much effort to pay attention to this family's unhappiness. ”
"......" turned his back to him, Wen Xianyun's eyes were cold for a moment, but when he turned his head, he had returned to his usual gentleness, and asked with concern, "Mother must be busy these days...... I wonder how her body is doing? I seemed to have heard someone say that she was coughing again? ”
"Ma'am, this is an old problem." The old man was Mrs. Wen's wife and confidant, Wen Yan smiled and said gently, "As soon as you are tired, you will have an attack...... But after taking the medicine, it doesn't hurt for the time being. The family is gone, and the eldest prince personally came forward to put them into the ground, and these days he comes to visit from time to time, which is already benevolent and righteous! ”
"In the coming years, the eldest prince can hire a noble girl again."
"If such a young lady enters the door, the lady can also rest."
Wen Xianyun also smiled, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes: "I heard that these days, many families have been probing in front of their mothers?" ”
"Isn't it?" The henchman beckoned the subordinate in the distance to lean over, personally took the cloak and put it on him, and said, "But the subordinate didn't mean that the lady brought by the nobleman...... Don't you look like you're out of the cabinet? ”
Wen Xianyun's pupils contracted, and then he said casually: "That's the noble girl who came from Tianfu, although so far, I don't know their identity, but looking at their talk, it is definitely not an ordinary person...... Such a girl, where is the lintel of our house worthy of it? Mother was afraid that she was thinking too much. ”
The henchman smiled when he heard this, and said, "Eldest son, isn't Madam thinking too much?" It's just that Mrs. thinks that a girl of this age will actually travel with the elders in the family, and ten out of ten are not allowed to be married! Otherwise, it's too late to prepare the dowry at home, where is the effort to show up? ”
Wen Xianyun said: "I see that young lady is very innocent, eighty percent is very favored, and it is normal for people to be so messy." ”
"It's pampered." The henchman smiled meaningfully and said, "So as long as that young lady takes a fancy to the eldest son, are you still afraid that this marriage will not be successful?" ”
"The reason why our family found traces of that group of people is that the clan has offended that young lady." Wen Xianyun said, "Even if we respond in time, it's not the one who has been with us for many days...... They're still a little angry. ”
"Even if that young lady is not angry with me at this time, how can she take a fancy to me?"
The henchman said: "Why should the eldest prince be arrogant? In terms of talent and appearance, who has the eldest son been afraid of? Even if that young lady came from Ying Tianfu, her eyes are above the top, she can't look down on others, and she can't look down on you, the eldest son? ”
Wen Xianyun just smiled, glanced at the tombstone in front of him, turned around slowly, tidied up his robe, and said lightly: "Don't talk nonsense!" That noble man was not offended by our Wen family, he had already offended them before, and the matter had just subsided, if they heard any more news at this time...... That's no joke. ”
Hearing this, the henchman hurriedly silenced and said respectfully: "What the eldest prince said is true." ”
"Also, Xi Fuwei...... Is it really gone? Wen Xianyun walked towards his mount, and halfway through, he suddenly asked without warning, "After all, there are no bones, and this girl is not a person who has no city...... Xi Zongwang is not good, she and her nephew were buried in the fire, this is also a coincidence, right? ”
The confidant said: "Madame also suspected this matter before, and specially sent someone to investigate." It is very likely that the fire was so great that there were no bones left in the burned body; There is also the fact that although Miss Xi Jia has some city governments, how can she not show her deeds without the support of Xi Zongwang and Xi Fuguang, even if she has the intention of cheating to death and getting out, with such a child as Xi Jiao, how can she not show her deeds? After all, the Xi family's bottom is here, where is the ability to hide from our family's eyes and ears? ”
"......" Wen Xianyun nodded and didn't speak, but said, "I know." ”
He strode ahead at this time, and his henchmen couldn't see his face, so he missed the yin owl that suddenly rose under Wen Xianyun's eyes.
…… These Xi Fuwei didn't know, after she speculated about Fu Suixian, her mind was on how to teach Zou Qiongruo a few girls.
After all, who knows when the task given to her by Shen Steallan will be completed?
If you enter the door, you will fish for three days and dry the net for two days...... It's no wonder that Mrs. Shang doesn't rush people!
At that time, who knows what kind of face Shen Steallan will give her?
It's just that the face is returned, I'm afraid that he will turn his face in anger and hand over the Xi family's aunt and nephew to the Wen family or something, then he really wants to cry without tears!
Thinking so, she almost recalled her enlightenment lessons from Xi Zongwang and Xi Fuguang when she was a child, and deleted and changed on this basis, and finally stayed up until the middle of the night before deciding what to do with this female gentleman.
Early the next morning, Fu Qiuxian came over and knocked on the door in person, reminding Xi Fuwei to get up early, lest Zou Qiongruo and the others have been waiting in the school for a long time, and the gentleman has not appeared, which is criticized.
In fact, at this time, Xi Fuwei was almost packed up, and when she heard the sound, she came over and opened the door, and when she saw that it was Fu Qiuxian, she invited her to come in and talk.
"I'm going to go to the academy later, so I won't go in." Fu Suixian nodded at her when she heard this, and said, "I'm just here to take a look at you, lest you worry too much last night, so that your mental strength is exhausted, and you can't get up at this time, and you miss the hour...... Now that you've done it, why don't you go down and rebel, and let's go back together? ”
Xi Fuwei naturally agreed, so the two of them went to the school together, Fu Suixian was afraid that she would be nervous, so she whispered her experience of being a female gentleman outside, and comforted and encouraged her for a long time before she stepped into the classroom.
At this time, Xi Fuwei's mood was actually very calm......
It's just that when she walked into the classroom with a slight smile, she glanced at it casually, and suddenly the whole person was not good!
Zou Yiang...... Why is he here again?! ”
