Chapter 236: Small Punishment and Great Commandment
Pomegranate has always believed in Wei Huai'an's words, since Wei Huai'an is so confident, she also extinguished the anger in her heart, and went to cook for her master and her man with Xichun.
Wei Huai'an sat on a recliner in the courtyard, staring at the clouds floating in the sky.
Su Muling hadn't seen him smile since he came back last night.
Su Muling didn't know why he was like this, walked up to him and sat down next to him:
"Huai'an, what's wrong with you? An unhappy look. ”
Wei Huai'an looked at her with a melancholy look in his eyes, and only spoke after a while: "Ling'er, if your cousin comes to you again, you ...... Is it possible for you to be together again? ”
Su Muling listened to his question and lowered his head: "Our fate is over, and it is impossible to be together." ”
"My cousin is no longer the crown prince now, if he repents, will you give him a chance?" Wei Huai'an was cautious and tentative.
Su Muling smiled bitterly: "Desire will make people lose their nature. What I like is Zhen Youan, who has no greed, does not bend his waist for imperial power and wealth, and only has me in his heart. Even if he has an unbearable background, even if he is just a door-to-door son-in-law with no permanent property...... Although he has lost the emperor's trust now, who knows if he will turn his back on me again under the emperor's call...... I didn't dare to bet because I was afraid of losing. ”
Wei Huai'an slowly sat up straight from the recliner, took Su Muling's hand, and looked into the distance:
"Ling'er, no matter what choice you make, I will always support you."
Su Muling looked at his rare serious face, his eyes filled with tears.
"Huai'an, I owe you too much in my life!"
Wei Huai'an sighed and pulled her into his arms, caressing her hair: "The two of us don't need to be so clear." But when it comes to indebtedness, I always feel in my heart that I owe you a little. ”
"Huh?" Su Muling looked sideways, puzzled.
Wei Huai'an pressed her head against her chest and said slowly: "I have dreamed of you many times. Every time I wake up, I don't dare to recall. ”
Su Muling looked up at him: "What did you dream of me?" Makes you so scared? ”
Wei Huai'an lowered his head and imprinted a gentle kiss on her forehead:
"I dreamed of a woman who had her eyes gouged out, her legs cut off, her tongue cut off, and she threw herself at the foot of a mountain stream. Su Han and I happened to pass by, and we couldn't bear to see the woman's body exposed in the wilderness, so we started to bury the woman. ”
"In a trance, I felt that the woman was very similar to you, and when I was about to dig it out and identify it, I was awakened by something else. Every time I think about it, I regret it. If that woman were really you, I would have blamed me for burying you hastily, so I will pay for my mistakes with this life......"
"Ling'er? What happened to you? ”
Wei Huai'an lowered his head, Su Muling had already burst into tears: it turned out to be him, it was Wei Huai'an, the person who buried her in the previous life, and he came to protect her for the rest of his life in this life.
"Huai'an ......"
Su Muling choked up, threw himself into his arms, and couldn't cry.
Wei Huai'an didn't know why, thinking that she was sad that she had died too miserably in her dream, so she hurriedly comforted her:
"Well, it's just a nightmare. Don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one will dare to hurt you. Even if we can't stay together for long, I'll put you in the hands of someone I can put my heart on. In my life, I won't be sincere to other women, as long as you don't dislike me, I am willing to accompany you all the time, you can treat me as your sister, in fact, I am afraid that I am more beautiful than you when I pretend to be a woman......"
Wei Huai'an's words successfully made Su Muling burst into tears, she lowered her head and beat his chest, snot and tears wiped his body.
Wu Meiniang took revenge, Su Muling was almost killed, and Wei Huaian saw the shortcomings of this house.
Guarding a river, the scenery is good, but the safety is not guaranteed, there is no yard wall to cover, no matter who can take the boat to go ashore at any time.
Last time, if he hadn't been able to sleep and ran to the roof to borrow wine to drown his sorrows, he was afraid that he would have been burned into charcoal by the people sent by Wu Meiniang.
Wuying learned that Wei Huai'an was looking for medicine for Su Muling, so he volunteered to pack his bags early in the morning and went straight to Anpingguo.
Wei Huai'an put Chen Sheng and Pomegranate and Xichun out to find out where to sell houses.
Chen Sheng has been following the prince all the year round, and his ability to do things is not bad, and Pomegranate and Xichun also pretended to be men to inquire separately. It only took a day to inquire about a dozen places.
Hearing the description of the house by Pomegranate, Xichun and Chen Sheng, Wei Huai'an went to the remote area, and then went to the one who was not satisfied with the room type, and finally chose three to see the house in person.
It was dark, and Wei Huai'an came back with someone. Holding the title deed of a newly bought house in his hand.
Two days later, Su Muling moved.
It's a house that's twice as big as the original one. The previous owner was a jeweler with an uncertain whereabouts, and recently because of an accident at home/need for silver, he sold the shop and house in Tiangu Town and withdrew from Tiangu Town.
"I've changed everything in this house. The upstairs rooms are open and safe, just right for you. I found a cook and two rough mothers-in-law. Most of the people in this courtyard are also more popular. ”
Wei Huai'an accompanied Su Muling into the door and called the newly bought subordinates.
Su Muling looked at the three people in front of him, all of them were in their thirties, they looked neat and neat, and their appearance was simple and kind, and nodded with satisfaction.
"I'm not an eventful person, as long as you do your part well, I won't treat you badly."
"Yes."
The three of them respectfully bowed their knees in agreement. Su Muling went upstairs to take a look accompanied by Wei Huai'an.
The upstairs have a wide view, facing the water to the south and the street to the north. "What a view!" Su Muling not only praised.
Just when Su Muling and Wei Huai'an were looking out of the window, Chen Sheng came in from outside with a calm face: "Shizi, Miss." ”
Wei Huai'an turned around and looked at Chen Sheng: "What's the matter?" ”
Chen Sheng hesitated for a moment and reported: "Wu Meiniang was released, the reason was that the evidence was insufficient, and the slave was not severely punished with a small punishment of 200 taels of silver. ”
Wei Huai'an frowned slightly, thought for a moment and ordered: "Go check." Something should happen in the capital. ”
"Yes." Chen Sheng.
Su Muling was puzzled: "What happened?" ”
Wei Huai'an pulled her to sit down on the chaise longue in front of the window, her face was slightly solemn:
"Shi Shan and Feng Jianjun have been back in Beijing for a few days, and according to the emperor's holy decree, they should have arrived at Ningguo Mansion. Wu Meiniang's release from prison must have been done by Zhou Huanjun, indicating that the emperor did not attack Zhou Huanjun. Using his power to be greedy for money, colluding with his colleagues and the people, the emperor has no time to deal with such things, so something big must have happened. ”
Su Muling looked at him worriedly: "It won't be the emperor's ......" The emperor is seriously ill?
Wei Huai'an was stunned for a moment by Su Muling's reaction, and then denied with a smile:
"Probably not. Okay, don't mess around. No matter what happens to Zhou Huanjun, we still have to live our days. ”
yes, what's the matter with her? No matter who becomes the emperor, she just lives her own life.
Because he moved to a new house, Wei Huai'an lived downstairs in his own house, and Su Muling, whose safety was guaranteed, slept very peacefully this night.
In the west wing, the lights in the house of Durian and Chen Sheng are still on.
"I've been with Shizi for so many years, and I've never suffered such a big loss. Everyone was arrested, and she was acquitted. ”
Chen Sheng crossed his hands behind his head, unwilling to do so.
Pomegranate, who was sitting in front of the dresser, used a comb to run through her hair vigorously: "Then Huang Weihai doesn't need to ask to know that he must have benefited from the Wu family, I think it's impossible to point to Huang Weihai for justice...... Or ......"
An idea was quickly born in Pomegranate's mind, she threw down the wooden comb, came to the bed with her eyes shining, lay on Chen Sheng, and whispered a few words in his ear.
Chen Sheng let go of the hand behind his head and hugged her, a little hesitant.
"Can it work? What if someone dies? Why don't we ask the son. ”
"Stupid." Pomegranate pointed a finger at his head, her eyes rounded.
"With me, it's not going to be too big. Do you know? There was a time before when the son-in-law of the second lady of our family calculated against my young lady. Wuying and I secretly ran out in the middle of the night and broke his leg, and the young lady not only didn't blame us, but also rewarded us with a hundred taels of silver each. ”
"Really?" Chen Sheng was a little skeptical.
"If you don't believe me, just let me do it. Miss will not be to blame. "Okay, so what do we do?" Chen Sheng was agitated by the pomegranate, and the grass on the wall generally leaned towards the pomegranate. Pomegranate smiled mysteriously and whispered her plan in his ear......
In the middle of the night, the Yunshang Cloth Village on the same street as Baiwei Lou caught fire, the weather was dry, and the shops were piled up with flammable cloth garments, and the fire spread rapidly and silently, and in less than half an hour, Yunshang Cloth Village was already a sea of fire.
In the alley in the backyard of Yunshang Buzhuang, two figures carried out several guys living in the backyard of Buzhuang and threw them on the street, and shouted loudly: It's on fire!
The people near Buzhuang panicked when they heard the shouting, but the figures of the two people who saved people disappeared into the dark night!
Early the next morning, Wei Huai'an went out for a walk, but Chen Sheng did not come to serve as usual.
Looking at the closed door of the West Wing, Wei Huaian pursed his lips and smiled: In the end, it is newlywed, and it is understandable to be greedy and get up late.
The early morning of Tiangu Town is quiet and leisurely, and the winding bluestone road is bright and smooth after years of running-in. Awning boats weave through the microwave river.
Wei Huai'an leisurely shuttled between the road and the bridge, feeling the picturesque flow of the small bridge.
Soon, he came to Square Street. I saw many people on the street gathered in front of a shop and talked about it.
Wei Huaian didn't want to see the excitement, but when he heard the "Yunshang Cloth Village" in everyone's mouth, he couldn't help but stop.
Because Wei Huai'an knew that this was the Wu family's industry.
In Tiangu Town, as long as the Wu family is involved, the nerve in Wei Huai'an's head can't help but become sensitive.
Wei Huai'an walked up to him and paused. When I looked up, I saw that the gate of Yunshang Cloth Village had been burned into charcoal, and the plaque on the door had been smoked so that I couldn't see its original face.
“…… I heard that it was a fire in the middle of the night, and it was too late to find out. ”
"Fortunately, there was no wind last night, otherwise these neighboring families would have suffered."
"I don't know if it was accidentally caught on fire or if it offended someone and set it on fire."
"The Wu family has offended a lot of people in Tiangu Town, and it wouldn't be surprising if the enemy set it on fire."
