Chapter 33 Wen Zizhi returned to the country
"Okay."
"When I got back to my lodgings, I wrote to my family, asking the guard I had stayed at home to contact her and inquire about it."
People who have been in officialdom for a long time are rarely good at observing words and feelings.
In the past few days, Shen Wenlei has probably guessed Shen Hongxue's thoughts about Liu.
But some things can be said, some words can't, so in the attitude towards "certain things", he chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and realized it later.
Shen Hongxue is the grandson of the Shen family, the most talented one in business in his generation, it can be said that he is the foundation of the Shen family's "long-term peace and stability", and he cannot tolerate the slightest mistake.
And Liu Qingxin, now she is also the princess and concubine who has been married by the emperor, the mother of the emperor's eldest grandson, it is not good to say that in the future, she is the noble existence of the lord of the harem, and the Shen family has been able to rely on the "chicken dog ascending to heaven" for several generations, and it is even more forbidden, and there is a little gossip and slander.
If there is one, who becomes the sister of the main palace mother, his Yan'er will definitely be able to be smooth and happy in the future, whether it is marriage or others.
Shen Wenlei suddenly discovered that he had become a selfish bastard, and he would not hesitate to ...... for the sake of his lost daughter who had not yet met
Smack-
Raised his hand and slapped himself.
Shen Wenlei didn't seem to care at all, and Shen Wenfeng and Shen Hongxue, who were walking with him, looked at him with puzzled eyes.
He smiled lightly and apologized to the two of them.
"Just now, the ghost was confused, and I actually thought about something that I shouldn't think about, so I took advantage of it, and I was still conscious, and gave myself a little warning, just in case, I strayed into the deep pool, and it was difficult to turn back."
Because of the unsparing effort, Shen Wenlei's face had four clear fingerprints, making his smile look slightly distorted.
"It doesn't matter."
"Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, and good is great."
Shen Wenlei didn't say it clearly.
But the other two people present, Shen Wenfeng and Shen Hongxue, are not stupid people, hearing him say this, how could he not guess what he meant by "things that should not be thought about"?
"Besides, this can't be considered Xiao Xiang."
"She's your eldest daughter, Yan'er's sister."
"When you are a sister, when you can do your best, there is nothing wrong with sheltering your sister."
"It's just that you, as a human father, still have to take a good measure and level a bowl of water, which is appropriate."
As she spoke, Shen Hongxue closed the paper book in her hand, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve pocket, and handed it to Shen Wenlei.
He didn't say anything unpleasant, but there was no lack of warning in it.
When Liu Qingxin is Shen Wenlei's daughter, Shen Yuyan will be her sister, if Shen Wenlei, who is a father, does not treat Liu Qingxin as his own daughter, then it is no wonder, everyone, including him, does not regard Shen Yuyan as Liu Qingxin's sister!
"I'll do my best."
"Since she is willing to call me father when I have nothing, then I will repay her with peach and plum after she has given me a Qiongzhi."
"She's my daughter."
"My eldest daughter."
"Shen is light."
In the face of Shen Hongxue's "threat", Shen Wenlei obviously did not feel angry.
He nodded lightly, solemnly, and made a promise to him.
People can occasionally make some mistakes.
But no, I kept being confused, and I was obsessed.
……
Chengguo Mansion.
Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Chengguo, glanced at the three sons kneeling in front of him, and only felt that his head was as big as a fight.
In particular, Zhu Shize, who is the seventh in the house.
This son was originally the one he was most optimistic about, but because he was confused, he ruined his future.
originally thought that he could rely on his good fortune to marry the daughter of Deping Bofu, but Xu was repentant.
Unexpectedly, he was still not interested in making meritorious contributions, and he was only thinking about intrigue with the brothers in the house, and plotting to avenge Li Rouer, who had died a long time ago.
He was old, and he had no interest in these mansion things, so he simply let him mess around.
Who would have thought that this time even the long room was involved.
and his wife.
Today is dead, tomorrow is alive again, he is confused not to say, at this time, and I don't know what kind of illness he has committed, he suddenly changed his words, saying that she was not suffered, Lao Jiu's wife was harmed, and he almost lost his life, and he was not only torn with the British government, but also did not fall in the Deping Bo Mansion, so he said yes, it is not an exaggeration to lose his wife and soldiers.
"Go back and ask your wife about it."
"Did she drink the tea sent by the wife of the old nine families and felt uncomfortable, or did she eat the snacks sent to him by the wife of the old family, so that she was poisoned."
"You can eat things indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense."
"Let her think things through completely, think about it, and then talk about it."
Compared with what Zhu Shize said, Li Yuanru ate Zhu Shitai's wife, Xu, and made the dim sum sent by the maid poisoned, and Zhu Xizhong, the prince of Chengguo, is more willing to believe that he has just become a concubine, and the pillow wind blowing with him.
You must know that the British government has already offended it thoroughly, and at this time, it is not a joke to offend the Dingguo Mansion again.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were five major dukes in total.
A few years ago, he made a conspiracy to step on the Duke of Wei, which shared the military power with Chengguo and Southern Xinjiang, destroying its hope of revival and making it the end of the five major dukes.
And a few days ago, he was anxious to settle the matter, Li Yuanru was poisoned to death, and gave an explanation to Depingbo's mansion, and even forced Zhu Shitong, the ninth eldest son in the mansion, to send his wife back to his parents' house with a letter of resignation, and because of this, he almost fought with the old thing in the British government.
If you repeat this matter and settle a grudge with the Dingguo Mansion, then even if it is the Chengguo Mansion, it is inevitable that the crowd will rise up and attack it, and even, when you are a saint, the reproach of Emperor Longqing.
Not to mention, he is so old, can he be like Deping Bo Li Ming, put down his face and listen to the lessons of Emperor Longqing.
Just because this delay in the marriage of the son-in-law and daughter-in-law in the house is not a loss that he is willing to bear.
After all, a person from the Wuxun family should still marry someone from the Wuxun family in order to give birth to a descendant who can withstand swords and guns and horses, and ensure the glory of the family.
As for marrying the Wenchen family, that's just, there's no way.
sacrificing some of the younger generations who have no future, and "sacrificing their lives for righteousness" to pave the way for their brothers, it is not true, and it is not worth it at a critical time.
"Your flat wife has long passed."
"The old wife, although there is something wrong, she also gets the punishment she deserves."
"You are a big man, you should be broad-minded, how can you keep going on for such a little old thing?"
"Then the Li family, a commoner, can marry into the mansion and be a wife for your sister-in-law, which is already a great blessing, she doesn't have that life to enjoy the blessing, how can she blame others?"
"A young lady from the Wuxun Mansion has been punished for thinking about it behind closed doors for half a year because of her death, what else do you want!"
Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Chengguo, took a deep breath and rebuked Zhu Shize, the unconscious son.
In his mind, the life of a commoner is not a valuable thing, because of the death of Li Rouer, he punished the Xu family, who was born as the daughter of the Duke of the Kingdom, and thought about it behind closed doors for half a year, it was already because of his preference for Zhu Shize, and the punishment was a little too much, if Zhu Shize still doesn't know how to be grateful to Dade, then it is really true, he doesn't know how to measure, which makes him extremely disappointed.
"My son didn't say that my wife was poisoned because she ate the snacks sent by my eldest brother's wife."
Before returning to the Chengguo Mansion, Zhu Shize had already received the guidance of Li Yuanru, who had come back from the dead, so at this time, Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Chengguo, who was "angry and rushing to the crown", did not seem cramped.
They have planned and consulted.
In other words, from now on, he is no longer alone, "fighting alone" for revenge.
He wants to muddy the water in the Chengguo Mansion first, as Li Yuanru said, and then create an opportunity for the two of them to fish in troubled waters.
For his own sake, and for their children.
"The son means that the father's treatment of the wife of the ninth brother is a little too hasty."
"This matter, after all, is about the friendship between the two dukes."
"Before the cause is investigated, he will be abandoned and returned home, whether it is the reputation of the house or the wisdom of his father, it is extremely disadvantageous."
"Therefore, the son thinks that this matter should be reconsidered, and the letter of resignation should be abandoned, and the ninth brother should be ordered to take the Zhang family back to the house."
Quietly waiting for Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Chengguo, to finish his anger, Zhu Shize took a deep breath, and showed his attitude to him with a solemn attitude.
This is what Li Yuanru told him a long time ago.
Even how Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Chengguo, will react, is clear.
Therefore, he only did it step by step at this time, so to speak, a little accident, and he didn't feel it.
"The affairs of the mansion should not have been interfered with by my father."
"For example, the harem should not interfere in politics, and wives and concubines should not inquire about military affairs, it is the same reason."
Zhu Shize's words made Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Chengguo, stunned for a moment, and his gloomy and silent eyes seemed to have some brilliance.
Did he mishear?
This son of his, this, this is all of a sudden, all of a sudden, all of a sudden, all of a sudden,
"Ze'er means ......"
Chengguo Gong Zhu Xizhong pursed his lower lip in disbelief and asked Zhu Shize for a half-sentence.
"What the son means is that a gentleman does not build a dangerous wall."
"If Depingbofu thinks that their daughter-in-law has been assassinated, and the evidence is conclusive, they can go straight to the culprit they think is responsible, and my father should not move like a mountain, sit on the mountain and watch the cranes and mussels fight, in order to make the fisherman profitable, instead of letting us become the princess of the country, become the gluttonous crane, give others a chance, and choke the throat."
Zhu Shize did not look up.
But what he said made Zhu Xizhong, the prince of Chengguo, happy.
"Okay."
"This matter will be done according to Ze'er's wishes."
"Lao Jiu, you can find your own way to take your wife back to the house."
Confirming that Zhu Shize had really regained his former calmness, Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Chengguo, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and without hesitation, he threw away the order to Zhu Shitong, who was also kneeling in front of him.
His Ze'er has finally lost his way.
Good.
Very good.
God will not die, he will become the inheritance of the country's mansion, what is he afraid of!
