Section 101
Yan Ge went, but when she came back, she brought Mrs. Song, whose eyes were full of bloodshots. Seeing her mother's haggard face, Wei Changying also changed her face and scolded Yan Ge: "I only asked you to go and talk to Mama Shi, how dare you alarm your mother?" β
Mrs. Song smiled reluctantly, waved her hand and said, "Don't blame Yange, I just said that I would go back to sleep for a while, but where can I sleep?" Before Yan Ge, your grandmother sent someone to tell me about your return...... But I thought that you would have to rest after bathing, so I didn't come to disturb you. This time I saw Yan Ge go over, and asked You woke up, how could I not come and take a look? β
Wei Changying's eyes were also red when she heard this, and she choked up and said, "I'm fine, don't worry, mother." β
Mrs. Song already knew from Mrs. Song that Wei Changying had returned safely, and the palace sand on her arms still existed, coupled with Wei Changfeng's fake before, eighty percent of this incident could be covered up, and she could still calm down at the moment, she looked at her daughter's ruddy face after taking a nap with infinite pity, and said softly: "God bless!" My son is back! β
But she was able to calm down with such a sentence - as soon as the words fell, Mrs. Song, who had always been dignified and reserved, suddenly got up, threw herself on the couch, and hugged Wei Changying tightly!
Wei Changying was stunned for a moment, feeling that Mrs. Song was holding herself with almost all her strength, and her nails almost pinched into her flesh under the excitement, and she was sour for no reason, and hugged Mrs. Song with her backhand. The people in the room all had eyes, and they were all silent, letting the mother and daughter hug for a long time, Mrs. Song's face was already full of tears when she let go, and the shoulders of Wei Changying's middle coat were wet, she wiped it with a handkerchief, and looked at her daughter stupidly, and wanted to say something but was choked up by the sound of choking......
At this time, Mama Shi persuaded and said: "The eldest lady and the fifth prince have now returned safely, it can be seen that the auspicious people have their own natural appearance, and Mrs. should thank God very much." Now that the eldest lady has not recovered, I am afraid that it will be even more sad to cry with her wife. β
Seeing that these words couldn't persuade Mrs. Song's sadness, she reminded again, "That little Liu is still bringing the Su family over today, but the poor eldest lady was woken up in her nap and perfunctory ......"
Sure enough, Mrs. Song wiped her face three times and twice when she heard this, and said with resentment in her eyes: "Wei Zhengya and Xiao Liu's ...... No matter what my father and mother do, I will never die with the Jingping Mansion in this life and this life!! β
"Mother." Wei Changying knew that Mrs. Song was not in good health now, and she couldn't bear to worry about it anymore, not to mention this ambush, although she already knew that Jingping Mansion was one of the masterminds, but this kind of premeditated thing, "Biwu" was in Wei Zhengya's hands, where was it so easy to grasp the handle? has no handle, with the identity of both the prince and the chief of the Jingping Mansion, even if Wei Huan is the owner of the valve, there is no way to do it on the bright side without evidence.
You must know that Wei Huan is in the position of the lord of the valve, he is shrewd, the city is very deep, and the heirs under his knees can be counted, especially the second son and grandson are all talented people - in this case, Wei Zhengya still dares to plot to regain the position of the lord of the valve, and firmly holds the "Biwu" in his hand, and also won the name of a famous man at home, is it a vain name?
Maybe he's been falling behind, but it's not so easy to eradicate and revenge!
This time, even if Wei Huan was still in the Jingping Mansion, he didn't hear what his granddaughter told Mrs. Song first, but even if Wei Huan knew the whole ins and outs before going to the Jingping Mansion, it was impossible to tell the truth. He could only use the excuse that "Biwu" was ineffective in helping the important heirs of the clan, and asked Wei Zhengya to purge "Biwu", and use this reason to snatch the power of "Biwu" and weaken Wei Zhengya. If you do it openly, people in the world are afraid that they will talk about Wei Huan's lack of greed, and he is the lord of the lord, Shangzhu State, and Changshan Gong, and he also has the title of Duke Jingping, who is hereditary and reckless by his brother-in-law, will give Wei Zhengya and Zhibentang a chance.
It was the chief of the guard who pursed his lips and said, "Why is my mother angry?" Let's not talk about this incident, our family remembers it! The coming day is long, that side is not only our flesh and blood but also occupies the identity of the chief, there is no certainty, you can't act rashly, and when you have the opportunity, are you afraid that we will forget about this time? What's more, they paid a lot this time, but they only killed a group of our subordinates, and they didn't get any benefits! I came back with Changfeng well, and I heard that Gao Chuan was injured, but he didn't worry about his life - don't look at Xiao Liu and Su coming to 'visit' me every day, maybe they are in the Jingping Mansion, and they are so angry that they are driven away and the next person jumps alone to vent all day! β
Mrs. Song laughed at her daughter's words, and her hatred faded, and she said softly: "Okay, good!" Whatever you say is up to you, it's up to you to ......" and reached out to stroke her face, both afraid and emotional, "It's all right!" Otherwise, how can I explain to your father? β
ββWei Changying's safe and intact return made the boulder in Ruiyutang's heart fall to the ground.
Even Mrs. Song thought that the next step was to appease the frightened three grandchildren...... is to help Wei Huan calculate "Biwu", and plan to take revenge on the Liu family, Zhibentang, and Queen Gu.
As a valve reading, he is no stranger to intrigue, his grandson and granddaughter are fine, and Wei Huan and Mrs. Song have enough patience to take revenge.
After half a month like this, the whole of Ruiyu Hall has returned to normal, and the city of Fengzhou is quiet, and there is no bad news at all.
Just when everyone was about to forget about the attack for the time being, a large piece of mud that was carefully carried into the back hall made Old Madam Song stare at it for a moment, and then asked with a blushing face: "Is this ...... What does that mean?! β
The people who sent this mud billet in were two couples, Wei Zhengya and Xiao Liu.
Wei Zhengya, who is nearly fifty years old, is worthy of being a famous person at home, and her demeanor is very extraordinary. His face is very similar to Wei Zhenghong, his bearing is graceful, and he has a bookish atmosphere, and he said unhurriedly when he heard the words: "Second Aunt Hui, that's the case-a few days ago, Chang Ying's children were assassinated outside Fengzhou City, which was really surprising!" It was thanks to the loyalty of his servants that he forgot his life and forgot his death to protect them to return safely. β
Old Madam Song said impatiently: "This matter has passed, and the three children are very scared, so don't mention it now...... What are you doing with this mud? β
"The nephew thinks that the reason why the three nephews and nieces returned safely this time is that in addition to the blessing of God, it is the loyalty of the servants, so it is very important to make a note for a few loyal servants, not to mention the monument, the book is a small note, and it is a small thing for us, but it can be praised for the loyal servants!" Wei Zhengya talked eloquently, not affected by Old Madam Song's frowning brows in the slightest, and said, "For such a trivial matter, my nephew thinks that I don't have to bother the second uncle and second aunt too much, so that I can come to tell you after the preparations are ready." However......"
He pointed to the mud in front of himβit was about six feet long and four feet wide, and there were some roots and turf attached to it, which had not yet completely withered, but were footprints.
Among the footprints of at least three or four pairs of footprints, a pair of footprints that are far more slender and delicate than other footprints are particularly distinct in the eyes of Mrs. Song - this is also the reason why Mrs. Song will blush after seeing it.
It's just that Old Madam Song will never admit it, so she said lightly: "But what? β
"My nephew plans to write an essay praising the servants who escorted the three nephews and nieces back, and it just so happens that my nephew has been quite free recently, so I took someone into the forest to see what happened to my nephews in the forest, and to think about some new words and sentences." For a celebrity like Wei Zhengya, it is a big deal to carve and ponder new words and phrases, and it is not surprising that he is more particular about wading through mountains and rivers to catch that flash of inspiration for the sake of a sentence or a wordβhis explanation is reasonable wherever it is placed, "However, following the footprints, I found the place where Changying's niece and Changfeng's nephew in the forest were separated, but I found that it was ...... The one who was escorted back by Jiang Zheng doesn't seem to be Changying's niece? β
Old Madam Song said coldly: "This is funny, who is Chang Ying?" Could it be the long wind? Those righteous men in the forest are inviting Changfeng - this man and woman are different, don't they have long eyes! "Wei Changying and Wei Changfeng returned before and after, not at the same time, so naturally they had to have a statement to the outside world.
Of course, the truth that they were saved by a group of bandits secretly cultivated in Fengqi Mountain by Wei Xinyong, the traitor of Zhibentang, is of course difficult to disclose, so Ruiyutang's external statement is that when Wei Changying and Wei Changfeng were surrounded by assassins, a group of ordinary people went into the forest to collect medicine, and after hearing the movement, they rescued them.
Defender Changfeng and Wei Changying wanted to thank those righteous people in the forest, but they couldn't resist the other party's hospitality, so Wei Changfeng asked his sister to go home first, and he visited his benefactor, so he delayed for two days before coming back.
"The second aunt doesn't know." Wei Zhengya smiled faintly and said, "The place where this piece of soil was excavated is deep in the forest, with lush branches and leaves, and they are all evergreen trees. Changfeng and Chang Ying both brought hats when they came back, so it can be seen that there may not be no possibility of going to the appointment on their behalf! β
"What do you mean by that?" Old Madam Song immediately turned her face and was furious, "The one who came back first is obviously Chang Ying!" In those days, didn't your son-in-law, eldest daughter-in-law, and concubine come to visit you every day? Which one found out that it was Changfeng, you say! β
Wei Zhengya just smiled indifferently at the old lady's anger, but said: "The second aunt doesn't need to be angry, the nephew thinks, although the footprints on this mud blank seem to have Changying's niece, but ...... It is also possible that after Changfeng and the righteous soldiers in the forest who saved them left, Chang Ying was reluctant to give up and chased a few steps in place. β
He said this and that for a moment, with unpredictable intentions - Old Madam Song frowned, and did not answer this words, but said: "The one who came back first is Changying, and I am not so old and confused that I can't even tell the difference between my granddaughter and my grandson." Speaking of which, the three children were ambushed on the official road and then forced to flee into the woods, and the assassins didn't take them all, why did you take such a risk and run in? What if you meet a gangster inside and something happens to you, and you call your wife and daughter? The person who is about to know the destiny of heaven, and he is still like this Meng Lang! Is it so important to craft new words that you have to go into the woods? β
Wei Zhengya hurriedly thanked her aunt for her concern, and replied: "Besides, those righteous people in the forest saved Chang Ying and Chang Feng, even if the two children went with them to thank them, it would be nothing." Okay, how could a girl go to the appointment on behalf of Changfeng? Therefore, the nephew got this adobe today, naturally not because he suspected his niece of anything, but for another reason. β
Old Madam Song took a sip of tea, thought about it quickly, and then said lightly: "What's wrong?" β
"Speaking of which, I only heard it when our eldest daughter-in-law came to her mother's house yesterday to deliver something." Wei Zhengya and Xiao Liu glanced at each other, and Xiao Liu sighed and said softly: "Second aunt, this is the case: Yesterday, someone from the Su family sent something to the eldest daughter-in-law, and mentioned a recent incident in the imperial capital, and the Tao was stopped by someone with a Fengzhou accent in the imperial capital...... Stopped Situ Weiqi's guard of honor! β
Because Situ heard that he was from Fengzhou, he read the affection of the second uncle, and deliberately got off the sedan chair to ask why. But the man ...... But he cried on the street, saying that he was an innocent citizen in Fengzhou, but when he went into the forest to cut wood, he accidentally found ...... Chang Ying was kidnapped by a few men, and was chased and killed by our family! β
Xiao Liu looked worried, "The most important thing is that it is said that the person also painted a portrait of Chang Ying...... But I don't know if it's true or not? Now this matter has been in an uproar in the imperial capital, I'm afraid it is...... The people of the Shen family are already on the way! β
"So let's quickly send someone to dig up the soil there, so as not to be suspicious after the Shen family knows about it." Xiao Liu said thoughtfully, "Now the footprints that can still be found there have been dug up or destroyed, but please rest assured, even if the Shen family goes to see it in place, they will never find traces that should not be found......"
With a "bang", the tea bowl in Mrs. Song's hand was directly pressed on the case......
