Chapter 58: The Choice
The students who usually practice here, core disciples, and martial artists all stand in a row. In the middle of the square are the descendants of the family. In addition to the fact that he just arrived, there are also Liu Qingshuang and Aunt Chen.
Why are so many people standing here today. Changning frowned and looked at the maids and servants standing in the corner, as well as a large number of people in the square. Although Wutang's mystical techniques are not as many as those of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, there are also many fine products. Always well-defended. How is it like a wet market today?
Changning approached and saw the scene in the square.
Aunt Chen was wearing a fiery red samurai suit, kneeling there with her head bowed, with a determined expression. Liu Qingshuang lost all her usual brightness at this time, like a pear blossom hit by the wind, and her sobbing face stopped talking, and seemed to retreat because the atmosphere was too serious.
"Ning'er said hello to her grandmother. Say hello to the patriarch. Changning walked over and saluted the grandmother and uncle sitting in the middle softly, although he did not deliberately use Zen sounds. But these days are influenced by auspicious sounds. There was a slight joy in the slightly childish voice. Let the eyes of everyone present focus on her.
The old lady looked at her only granddaughter quietly. A rare smile appeared on his serious face. It was not seen for seven days. The aura on his granddaughter has changed again. If the former Changning was indifferent and tranquil with alienated orchids, then the current Changning is a gentle breeze, quietly stopping among the crowd with the breath of spring, making people feel cordial and comfortable.
"It seems that Ning'er has gained a lot from this seven-day retreat." Uncle Liu Wenyu said with a smile next to the old lady.
"These are blessings thanks to the bitter grandfather. Please also ask the uncle to help Changning first, thank you for the bitter grandfather. When Changning was empty, he would come to the door to thank him. Changning ignored the complicated gazes of the surrounding crowd and said calmly.
"Hmm. Good. is worthy of being the descendant of my Liu family. There should be a clear distinction between grievances and grievances. The old lady said, glanced at Aunt Chen who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "But don't learn from some people, don't measure yourself, and don't distinguish between right and wrong." dared to collude with demons without permission. ”
The old lady's words, Changning did not answer. I can't take that. No matter what Liu Qingfeng says, he is also his brother in the eyes of others. Although he did not do it right, he should take it as a warning, but he can't fall into the well at this time.
Changning glanced at Aunt Chen strangely, and then at Aunt Wenyu who was standing next to Aunt Chen. Could it be that Aunt Chen is here to intercede? But it doesn't look like it. Why does it seem like Liu Wenyu is interceding for Aunt Chen?
"Ning'er has seen her father, mother, and brothers." Changning turned to the others to ask for a salute.
After Jiang saw Changning walk in, the smile on his face never broke. Chang'an also had a look of relief at last. Liu Wenyu nodded stiffly to Changning. Everyone else nodded and smiled at Changning.
After seeing the ceremony, Changning consciously stood beside the Jiang family. The atmosphere in the martial arts hall became solemn again.
"Humph! Yao, since you entered the door, has my Liu family treated you lightly? Whether it is food, clothing, housing and transportation, or cultivation materials, they are all treated according to the general treatment of the Liu family. A pair of children are also raised by yourself. You yourself are not good at teaching your children, and now you are openly disobeying the orders of the family. And now you are still talking wildly, asking me to hand over your son. Tell me about it. We spared him his life, where did we treat him badly? The old lady's face was even more unhappy when she said this, "I really don't know what to do." With Liu Qingfeng's crime, it is not a pity to die a hundred times. If it weren't for Wen Yu's sake. We spared his life, and he was now afraid that he would soon die. You stupid woman is not satisfied! ”
The old lady smiled coldly after speaking. glanced at Aunt Chen contemptuously.
Liu Wenyu just looked up and saw this look, he looked at Aunt Chen next to her who was trembling, shaky but stubborn. As if stimulated, he shouted, "Please stop talking!" ”
The air suddenly stopped, and everyone was shocked. The old lady can be said to be the most authoritative woman in Liufu now. Liu Wenyu is her son, in this continent where filial piety comes first. This is undoubtedly a crime. Everyone remained silent, and those who had nothing to do with the matter looked down at the ground, as if flowers had suddenly grown on the ground.
After Liu Wenchang shouted those words, Liu Wenchang knew that things were going to go bad. The old lady has always been kind and stern all these years. But in his bones, he is the most strong. His father, the head of the previous generation of the Liu family, had never married a concubine in his life, and he respected his mother very much, which can be seen in his mother's fierce temperament. You must know that in all families, it is rare to see a man who has not married a concubine, even if it is a husband and wife, he will marry one or two concubines to open up the family branches. The third brother of his own family disobeyed the opinions of the elders in the family three or four times for the sake of a concubine. It's really disappointing. Thinking of this, he glanced at Aunt Chen who was kneeling on the ground unhappily, her eyes were as sharp as a knife.
"Am I wrong?" Sure enough, the old lady immediately stood up. Squinting his eyes, he asked coldly.
"Isn't Qingfeng your grandson?" Aunt Chen also stood up, stepped forward and stood in front of Liu Wenyu and said. The voice is soft and powerful. The fiery red samurai uniform matched her burning gaze, and the whole person exuded dazzling brilliance. "He also has your blood in his veins, and he is also your grandson. No matter how wrong he is, he's just a child. And as the elders of a child, shouldn't we care about him, tolerate him, and teach him, so that he can return to the right path and have a happy life? Although he has made a big mistake now. But he didn't have a heart. He was just being taken advantage of. His nature is not bad. I hope the old lady can give him a chance to change. ”
Liu Wenyu looked at her excitedly. Changning was a little stunned, this is the real Aunt Chen's Yao, right? Usually the gentle and lovely Aunt Chen with an understanding smile is just pretending to survive in this mansion, right?
"Humph!" The old lady was even more dissatisfied and snorted coldly. "If everyone makes a mistake and can offset their sins with a sentence that is not careful, then isn't the world chaotic? As the saying goes, the state has its own laws, and the family has its own rules. The third rule of our Liu family is that you must not collude with demons. Did he ever remember it? Since he doesn't take his family to heart, he colludes with demons to endanger the family and his relatives. You must have the courage to bear the consequences of what is revealed. ”
Changning felt a little wrong when he heard this. I obviously listened to their intentions before, and I didn't want to execute Liu Qingfeng. Doesn't that give him a chance? Changning looked at the crowd around him. In addition to the members of the Liu Liu family, some of the other side families, martial artists, and guest masters looked unbearable, some frowned, and some seemed to be indifferent.
"Brother, is Brother Qingfeng okay?" The chief asked Chang'an. There was concern in the tone and a sincere look in the eyes.
"Huh?" Chang'an was suddenly asked by his sister, first stunned, then saw his sister winking at him, and saw everyone looking at him, and he realized a little, "It's okay now." However, before the uncle said that he would abolish the third brother's air pocket. Aunt Chen and Sister Qingshuang will be separated with him and become the side of the Liu family. ”
There was no intention of being held for a long time, and there were no missing arms or legs. It's just that he has become an ordinary person who can't cultivate.
The people next to them had different expressions, and looked at Aunt Chen in some surprise, obviously not understanding that the punishment had been so light. What else is she doing here? Some looked at Aunt Chen and Liu Qingshuang with contempt. Others remain indifferent.
Qingshuang looked at everyone's gaze, seemed to be a little scared, and hid beside Liu Wenyu. Liu Wenyu gently patted her shoulder. But he didn't say anything. Actually, he didn't plan to come. He also knew that Qingfeng's punishment couldn't be lighter. This is still because Qingfeng's matter has not yet been known to outsiders, so the eldest brother can hide this matter and give him a light punishment.
"Oh. That's good. Changning patted his chest as if he was a little relieved. Then he turned to his grandmother and said, "Grandmother." When the time comes, you can give more money to Brother Qingfeng. He has no Xuan Qi, and he may only be able to learn from his father to do business in the future. You give him more money. He can make a lot of money then. ”
"It's just Yining'er." The old lady glanced at Changning appreciatively and said with a smile. After laughing, she turned her head and asked Liu Wenyu, "Wenyu." Do you have any opinion on this matter? ”
Liu Wenyu glanced at Aunt Chen, and saw that she seemed to be very dissatisfied, but this matter could not have changed anymore, and he had to be content, so he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to his mother Han three times, "Let my mother work." It's all sons who are not filial. The son has no opinion. ”
The old lady nodded with satisfaction.
