Sanniang stayed in Mao'eryan Hutong to eat, and was about to say goodbye to Wang Dong and the Xue family and return to Prince Zhuang's mansion, when Xuan Shao came.

Sanniang took Xuan Xiaoyi back to her parents' house in a hurry, and naturally someone reported this matter in front of Xuan Shao, so Xuan Shao came to pick up his wife and children to go home.

Sanniang took advantage of the gap to explain today's events to Xuan Shao, and the two went to the main room to say goodbye to Wang Dong and Xue.

Wang Dong left the two of them, saying that he had something to explain.

In Wang Dong's study, there were only Wang Dong, Sanniang and Xuan Shao, and the Xue family had also found an excuse to retreat before.

"Do you still have connections in the Northwest?" Wang Dong pondered for a moment, but the question he asked made the two of them stunned.

Xuan Shao pondered and said: "My father once had a few old friends, and he is still holding a military position in the northwest. ”

Wang Dong nodded, and said calmly: "Then check out Miss Xue's affairs for me." ”

Xuan Shao bowed his head and responded.

Sanniang couldn't help but glance at Wang Dong.

Wang Dong sat behind the bookcase, still with the same solemn face that had not changed for thousands of years. The years are tolerant to him, he and Xue Meixin should be about the same age, although Xue Meixin is beautiful, her face is still stained with wind and frost. Wang Dong is no different from Sanniang when she first saw him, handsome and tall.

At the age of thirty, his birth and status brought him not only the glory on his face, but also the maturity and nobility tempered by the environment.

In all fairness, Wang Dong is a typical example of a successful man in ancient times.

"Over the years, I have sent people to inquire about her whereabouts more than once, but in vain." Wang Dong's tone was flat and authentic. "I was told by an old friend that she had committed suicide in the army. When I was governor of Datong, I checked the military files many times, but I could not find any records. ”

"Miss Xue, didn't she mention all these years to you?" Xuan Shao pondered for a moment. Asked.

Xue Meixin's statement to Wang Dong was that she was rescued by an old stove in the army, and then fled to a remote ravine outside Baihe Town.

But Xue Meixin didn't know. When Wang Dong was the governor of Datong, every village in the northwest was sorted out by him in the name of measuring cultivated land and barren land. In his spare time, he walked a lot by himself. There are many loopholes in Xue Meixin's rhetoric, and he knows it as soon as he hears it.

"Her return to Beijing may have been designed." Wang Dong did not answer Xuan Shao's words, but said the doubts he had in mind.

When Sanniang and Xuan Shao talked about Xue Meixin before, the two of them also thought about this possibility.

"If you get any news...... Don't make a noise yet. Wang Dong looked at Xuan Shao and explained.

In fact, Wang Dong didn't want to ask others for this matter. However, he himself had spent a lot of experience on Xue Meixin's affairs before, all of which were in vain. When Xuan Shao's father Xuan Xin was alive, he was most familiar with the things in Northern Xinjiang, and he had accumulated a lot of contacts in more than ten years of operation, so that the Shen family still couldn't get involved in the military affairs of Northern Xinjiang. That's why last time, the Shen party wanted to make a fuss about the matter of Xuanxin collaborating with the enemy. Disrupt the situation in northern Xinjiang.

Wang Dong thought about it again and again, but decided to let Xuanshao intervene.

Xuan Shao naturally responded one by one.

"It's getting late, go back." Wang Dong nodded to Xuan Shao and Sanniang.

The husband and wife retreated, and went to Wang Jing to pick up Xuan Xiaoyi and go home together.

When Xue returned to the study in the main room, Wang Dong was writing, and when he saw Xue come in, he took the pen.

"The rear west chamber is all arranged?"

Xue Shi bowed his head and responded: "Sister has already rested." ”

Wang Dong nodded, didn't say anything more, and dipped the sheep in his hand in ink. Keep waving your pen.

Xue also knows a lot of words now, and from a distance, Wang Dong seems to be writing a poem. It's just that because she uses cursive writing, she can't get close to it, and she can't see it clearly.

Wang Dong glanced up at Xue: "Is there anything else?" ”

Xue was stunned for a moment, and the time between dinner and lights out on weekdays was over. As long as Wang Dong didn't go out, he would teach her to read or draw. Occasionally, I would say a few verses to her.

It's just that today's Wang Dong is obviously absent-minded.

So Xue said casually: "Oh, Sister Ruyu's ...... over there"

She was considering her words, but Wang Dong frowned and said, "I have already sent someone to Tianjin Wei, let her be your sister's companion before the Chen family comes." ”

Xue Shi hurriedly said: "Yes, master." I'm not ......."

Wang Dong suddenly looked at Xue Shi and cut off her words coldly: "What's not?" ”

"I'm ......" Xue was stunned, "I'm ......"

"You think I'm going to take a concubine too?" Wang Dong put the pen in his hand into the pen wash and said lightly. His poem was not finished, and it was still half missing.

"I ......" Xue Shi suddenly felt a little aggrieved at Wang Dong's blank eyes, her eyes were red, but she took a rare stubborn deep breath, subconsciously straightened her back, and said slowly: "The concubine doesn't think so, but if the master misses this, the concubine has no objection." ”

Wang Dong looked at Xue for a long time, and Xue had calmed down, but when he looked at Wang Dong again, he found that his gaze was a little dazed.

This gaze did not make Xue happy, but made her feel a little sad and embarrassed in the air.

Wang Dong came back to his senses, took back the pen in the pen wash, and lowered his head: "I won't take a concubine." His voice returned to a calm and gentle tone.

"She was my fiancée." Wang Dong paused, "Now I have a wife. ”

After saying this, Wang Dong never spoke again.

Xue stood for a while, and suddenly heard the voice of Qi Niang waking up and crying outside the curtain. She couldn't care about playing any dumb riddles with Wang Dong anymore, so she hurriedly turned around and retreated.

Wang Dong bowed his head and continued the second half of the poem, but because the sheep had just been soaked in the pen wash, the sentence "Leave with one heart." Sorrow ends in old age. "After all, I can't catch it.

And the news of Xue Jiamei's return to Beijing has spread since she entered the gate of the capital.

It's just that the Xue family and the Wang family are low-key in dealing with this matter, and it's not easy for people outside to listen rashly. There has been no interest in the palace.

But on the third day, something unexpected happened.

Someone sounded the drum of the Shuntian Mansion. sued the third master of the Wang family for taking away his wife's room and causing his husband to disperse.

It was a father and son who beat the drums and sang their grievances.

The man looked in his early forties, burly, and his face was slightly red. The child looks like he is about a teenager. is also tall, but his face is extremely good-looking, especially those apricot eyes. It's eye-catching.

Even more surprisingly, they spoke Mongolian.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

The people in Beijing combined with the Mongolian man's pleadings, remembered that the Wang family in Mao'eryan Hutong had welcomed a woman in the first two times, and looked at the child's appearance, and had some guesses in their hearts about the beginning and end of this matter.

There are also good deeds who dig up the old things of adulthood more than ten years ago.

It turned out that all the chaste martyrs of the Xue family were made up, and Xue Meixin, the pearl of the Beijing division back then, not only did not commit suicide, but escaped from the military camp and gave it to the Mongolian Tartars. Even a child was born.

Now, everything is said.

After Xue Meixin learned about this, she fell silent after the initial excitement.

Her already gloomy face became even darker.

Until Wang Dong came to her.

The two were relatively speechless for a long time.

In the end, it was Xue Meixin who opened her mouth first: "Third brother, I'm sorry." ”

Wang Dong looked at Xue Meixin fixedly. Ban Xiang sighed and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”

"I ......" Xue Meixin bit her lip, "Someone arrested Mu'er and asked me to go to Beijing to find it." I'm not allowed to show my mouth yet, and I can't help it. ”

"Mu'er? Is it your son? His father ......"

"He doesn't have a father!" Xue Meixin suddenly screamed, with humiliation and pain in her eyes.

Wang Dong was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but take a step forward: "Mei Xin......"

Xue Meixin subconsciously took a step back.

Wang Dong closed his eyes, withdrew his outstretched hand, and slowly took half a step back, separating himself from Xue Meixin by two steps.

"If you had told me earlier. I might be able to help you. It didn't come to this point. ”

Xue Meixin shook her head and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, third brother, I'm still dragging you down." If it weren't for Mu'er, I wouldn't be here. I'd rather ...... You thought I was dead. ”

Wang Dong's hands clenched unconsciously, and the painful look in his eyes flashed: "Why do you have to do this." You know I'm ......"

"Nope. Stop. Xue Meixin smiled miserably and stopped: "Don't say anything, third brother." You know me, and I know that you know me better than the rest of the world. ”

"Now that Mu'er has appeared, I don't have to stay here anymore." Xue Meixin smiled at Wang Dong, "I'll move out of here tomorrow and live again, I'm afraid I'll drag you into the water." ”

Wang Dong shook his head: "Where can you go?" If you are a weak woman, if you leave here, won't you fall into the trap of others? ”

Xue Meixin turned her head, but there was hatred in her eyes: "I didn't expect Mu'er to be taken away by him, I obviously escaped." ”

Wang Dong paused and asked, "Have you been in Mobei all these years?" No wonder he couldn't find her.

Xue Meixin didn't want to mention her own affairs, and she didn't want to be in front of Wang Dong.

When Wang Dong saw her like this, he felt uncomfortable after all: "You can live here with peace of mind, this matter is not simple, even if you go out, you can't solve the problem." ”

Xue Meixin bowed her head and was silent.

Wang Dong sighed lightly: "Mei Xin, I won't harm you." ”

Xue Mei couldn't hold back her tears: "Third brother, ......"

Wang Dong looked at her for a while, then turned around and went out.

This period is indeed as Wang Dong expected, it is not simple.

Immediately, some people accused the Xue family of being disloyal and unfilial, and the late Xue Boss had an improper family style.

The words that originally sang praises to the Xue family seemed to have become sarcasm and a big joke.

This slap actually slapped the emperor and the queen mother in the face.
