The Wei clan is one of the four clans under the Shang State, and belongs to the Yuan clan among the upper four clans, and assists the Yuan clan in charge of the financial power of the Shang State, and its status is extraordinary.

Wei Yi, the head of the Wei family, Wei Chongshan, the eldest son, Wei Yunshan, the eldest daughter, and several concubines and concubines are all married and out of the house. The eldest son, Wei Chongshan, has only one wife, Yuan Qihua, the daughter of the Yuan clan, and has a son and two daughters.

After the death of the wife of the head of the family, the backyard of the Wei family was taken over by the Yuan family and taken care of it.

In the afternoon before yesterday, people from the Dusk Palace's Mansion suddenly came to the door to ask for a meeting.

Wei Yi and Wei Chongshan are on duty today, and they are both handling affairs in the household department, and the only people in the house who can be in charge of affairs are the housekeeper and the Yuan family. The housekeeper Wei Zhong received a report from the guards guarding the door, and while walking out, he called someone to invite Yuan's family.

When Yuan Qihua arrived at the gate, the people of the Dusk Palace's Mansion had already left, leaving only a wooden cart at the door, and on the car lay a girl with messy hair and a face as white as porcelain, and there seemed to be two people under the black cloth next to the girl.

A trace of doubt flashed in Yuan Qihua's eyes, and he looked at the housekeeper Wei Zhong: "What's the matter?" ”

Wei Zhong had already stepped forward to check, and with a salute, he sent a milky white leopard-shaped jade plaque to the Yuan family, and respectfully reported: "Madam, it's Miss Yunshan and Lu Mu, that's their child." ”

The leopard-shaped jade plate is a status symbol of the Wei family, and the Yuan family naturally recognizes it, and at a glance, he sees the word "Shan" on the jade plate. Yuan didn't take the jade card, his eyes shifted from the jade card to the wooden cart, his beautiful eyes widened slightly, and a touch of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Wei Zhong continued to report: "It was sent by someone from the Dusk Palace, and the person who left a message left." ”

Yuan Shi stared at the black cloth on the car: "What words?" There was no joy or sorrow in the words.

"The afternoon prince was assassinated, Aunt Wei's family happened to be killed by the perpetrator in the mountains, after all, it was the daughter of the Wei family, and the king of twilight couldn't bear to fall into the belly of the beast, and the bones were gone, so he sent it to the house with his order." Wei Zhong repeated it as he had said, and then asked, "Madam, what should I do now." ”

When Yuan Qihua heard the first sentence, the look in his eyes changed, the afternoon prince was assassinated, and he didn't know if the perpetrator could succeed, and a thought came to his mind: I don't know if my father and brother were involved in this matter, and if so, how could the king of twilight let them go.

When I heard it, I was even more worried, I accidentally injured Wei Yunshan's family, if my father and brother were involved, it would inevitably cause an indelible estrangement from my husband's family.

Although Wei Yunshan broke with the family for a servant more than ten years ago and fled privately, and the head of the family said that there was no such thing as this daughter when he was angry, the Wei family did not forget her, especially her husband Wei Chongshan, and Wei Yunshan often exchanged letters.

Yuan Qihua suppressed the doubts in his heart, walked slowly towards the wooden cart, walked to the side of the car and gently lifted the corner of the black cloth with a brocade hand, and saw a very familiar face, more than ten years, there is no trace of time on this face, and it is still dazzlingly beautiful.

Then he looked at the girl who looked very similar to her and had a faint tendency to transcend, and a complicated look appeared on her face, and then ordered: "Send someone to the household department immediately to inform the head of the family and Chongshan about this matter." ”

Wei Zhong immediately ordered a family member to go with the jade plate.

"The child was sent to the guest room and asked Dr. Li to check if there were any injuries." Yuan Shi looked at the girl who was sleeping with her eyes closed, and then looked at the two corpses under the black cloth, "My sister's corpse will be sent to the side hall outside the ancestral hall first." ”

After the arrangements were made, Yuan Qihua returned to his courtyard and hurriedly wrote a letter, calling a cronie brought from the Yuan clan to the household department to deliver the letter to her father Yuan Henghuan, and specially instructed her to avoid the people of the Wei family.

offended the Dusk King, she was not afraid, the strength behind the prince should not be underestimated, not to mention that the Yuan family is not idle; At the moment, she is most worried about the relationship between her husband's family and her mother's family, if the two families are at odds because of her deceased sister, how will she deal with herself, and what will happen to her two children.
