After the scene in Chaohui Palace, the news of Princess Anping's engagement to Xiao Yushi became more solid, and even began to circulate in the community.

Many dignitaries and nobles rushed to give gifts to Xiao Mansion because Xiao Heng married the princess of Chihua Palace, who was like a pearl of Chihua Palace.

Xiao Heng looked at the boxes of gifts carried inside, and after a while, they were spread all over the yard, and sneered

"These people really know how to watch the time"

The entourage around me was also a little relieved

"After Princess Anping enters the mansion, she will definitely make the whole mansion different"

Xiaowu has followed Xiao Heng since he was a child, and knows that Xiao Heng's growth is not easy, his mother died at a young age, and the concubine entered the house, Xiao's father was a stingy businessman, and he treated Xiao Heng even more harshly. When he didn't go to school, he often threw Xiao Heng to the Guangfo Temple, and he didn't even let Xiao Heng enter the door.

All in all, it is not easy for Xiao Heng to get to this point, and he will only be really happy when he is with Wu Chi.

Xiao Heng thought of the stubborn girl in the Chaohui Hall a few days ago who said that she would not marry herself, and a trace of peace flashed in her eyes.

"It's a foregone conclusion, Princess Anping is my wife Xiao Heng"

--

Wu Chi sat on the swing in the courtyard, swaying one after the other, his thoughts returned to the day of the Chaohui Palace, Yin Qu and Ming Zhuxuan stood side by side, Ming Zhuxuan smiled and was full of happiness......

Wu Chi shook his head and shook off this idea, what he should think about now is not this, but he should worry about himself, if Xiao Heng goes with him and says that he doesn't want to marry, Xiao Heng doesn't want to marry, maybe he can say that Emperor Yan.

Liu Wu asked when he saw that Wu was late

"Where is the princess?"

"Xiao Yushifu"

With the identity of the princess, it is really much easier to travel, and the palace gate guards saw that it was the carriage of the Yaxun Palace, and opened the palace gate after a few simple questions.

This is the first time Wu Chi has left the palace after entering the house, Wu Chi has no intention of watching the free street scene outside, he is being pinched all his life, and if he accommodates it, he will not be free for a lifetime.

The carriage came to a slow stop, and there was a noise outside

The catkins lifted the curtain and asked the coachman, "Have you arrived?"

"There were a lot of people in front, and the carriage couldn't move"

Liu Wu saw that it was already near Xiao Yushi's Mansion, the crowd circled and circled, and there was noise everywhere, and the focus center was the entrance of Xiao's Yushi Mansion.

Foggy got out of the carriage and frowned in confusion.

As soon as people saw Wu Chi's extraordinary dress, they all gave way to Wu Chi, and Wu Chi walked to the door of Xiao Mansion to see clearly

A lady in filial piety clothes was crying and shouting, followed by a son and a daughter also wearing linen and filial piety and crying beside her, burning paper.

Voices of slander and criticism of Xiao Heng continued to come from the crowd.

As soon as Wu Chi saw it, he recognized that this was Xiao Heng's stepmother who entered the house, Xiao Heng was tortured by this stepmother when he was a child, and he almost lost his breath.

Wuchi looked down at the crying woman with a sad face

"Mrs. Xiao, what are you doing here?"

The woman turned her head and recognized the fog, and immediately pulled the children next to her to bow together, "Look, this is Princess Anping, it's the princess and lady that your brother is about to marry."

As soon as the crowd heard this, they immediately knelt down to Wu Chi, and a trace of displeasure flashed in Wu Chi's eyes, what did this woman want to do by announcing her identity.

Wu Chi's voice was amplified, and he said to the crowd, "Let's all get up."

Xiao Nu grabbed the hem of Wuchi's skirt and cried

"Princess Anping, you have to pity our orphans and widows, your Uncle Xiao was cheated out of his property in business a few days ago, and he couldn't bear it, and he was already cold when he jumped into the river to rescue him, although Xiao Yushi is not my own child, he is also a child from Xiao Mansion, how can he watch his younger brothers and sisters live on the streets?"

Xiao Nu whimpered, "Even if you don't help me, you have to help my child."

Wu Chi was shocked for a while when he heard that Uncle Xiao committed suicide by jumping into the river, Xuan Niang got acquainted with Xiao Heng's father when he was doing business, Wu Chi had contact with Xiao Heng's father, a typical businessman's cunning appearance, he always had to cheat more or less when doing business, but now he was cheated out of his property and lost his life.

When everyone heard this, they were more sympathetic to the kneeling people, some of the old people even began to hide their faces and cry, and some of the young and vigorous began to scold Xiao Heng.

As he spoke, the door of the mansion opened, Xiao Heng's face was pale and his eyes were dull, and he slowly raised his eyes to look at Wu Chi, revealing a weak and helpless smile.

Xiao Heng walked down slowly and said slowly, "I have already buried my father and given you a lot of money. ”

When the woman's son heard this, he immediately threw away the paper money and rushed to Xiao Heng angrily.

Seeing this, Wu Chi walked quickly in front of Xiao Heng and protected Xiao Heng behind him. A hint of emotion flashed in Xiao Heng's eyes, and his eyes flashed as he looked at the slender back of Wu Chi.

The man stopped and scolded, "Xiao Heng owes me and calls you to be my brother, the Xiao family raises you so big, you give so little money and call it Huazi!" ”

After hearing so much, Wu Chi finally couldn't help it, and his anger rushed to the peak. It's also a little louder

"It's really funny, when did you treat Xiao Heng as a son" Wu Chi glared angrily at the kneeling Xiao woman on the ground, and then turned to the man with a red face, "When did you treat Xiao Heng as a brother"

"If you want to make this scene and make it in front of all the people, I will settle this account with you."

Wu Chi turned around and picked up Xiao Heng's right hand, rolled up his sleeve, and a triangular scar was exposed in the air, just looking at the scar, he could think of the blurred flesh and blood at that time, and the connection between the scar and the surrounding skin was still a little bloody, which was shocking.

"This is the person who claims to be a younger brother, who used a hot iron to brand Xiao Heng when he was young, but it was hot in his right hand, and Xiao Heng couldn't even pick up the pen."

The surrounding voices began to change slightly, and the man turned his head, his momentum weakened, and he turned his head to look at Xiao Woman as if asking for help.

Wu Chi snorted angrily, twisted his eyebrows, and grimaced

"Mrs. Xiao probably has something to say again, saying that her son is young and not sensible, right?"

The words that came to Xiao's mouth were choked into her stomach, and her mouth was still whimpering.

Wu Chi turned to the crowd, "This person who claims to be Xiao Heng's mother has done something even more excessive, a famous merchant in the capital, he can't even give Xiao Heng a thick jacket, when I saw Xiao Heng, he had a high fever, his hands and legs were covered with chilblains, and he was talking nonsense, and he was almost gone!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone completely turned against each other, and they all changed their views on a few people on the ground and began to talk in a whisper.

Wu Chi's face was gloomy, and he forcibly endured the anger in his heart.

Xiao Woman's daughter pursed her lips, her eyes widened, and she trembled and pointed directly at Xiao Heng behind Wu Chi

"Princess Anping! You don't know what kind of prodigal Xiao Heng is, my personal maid was bullied by him until she committed suicide in the end."

The crowd gasped, not knowing who to believe for a while

Wu Chi Dai's eyebrows trembled slightly, and she walked straight to the woman and slapped her with all her strength, and the daughter of the Xiao woman screamed and was knocked to the ground, holding her face for a while and then began to sell miserably.

After everyone exclaimed, there was silence, only the cries of two people on the ground.

A smile hung on the corner of Xiao Heng's mouth, and his heart was extremely warm

Seeing this, Xiao Woman's son was so angry that he rushed straight into the fog and left, and Liu Wu's eyes were quick and kicked directly from the side.

Xiao Nu cried loudly, "Heavenly reason, heavenly reason is intolerable, they rely on their status and rights, and they actually beat the people in public!" ”

Wu Chi flicked a glance over, and Xiao Woman's voice decreased uncontrollably until there was none.

Wu Chi looked at the woman who was crying on the ground, and asked loudly, "You know in your own heart, it is clear that your brother took away the innocence of the maid, you are afraid that she will report to the official, so you will kill her, in order to hide the illusion created by people's ears and eyes, you dare to frame Xiao Heng again." ”

Wu Chi is now very glad that he was listening to Xuan Niang when she was chatting with her neighbors about gossip, otherwise she would be doing something now.

The three of them were stuck in their throats, angry and silent, and finally had to flee in embarrassment.

Soon after, the crowd began to disperse.

Xiao Heng seemed to have experienced some kind of wind and waves, so weak that he sat on the steps with his legs outstretched, holding his head with both hands, his face was gloomy, and he seemed to be relieved.

Wu Chi pursed his lips, walked in front of Xiao Heng, squatted down, and gently stroked Xiao Heng's shoulder, Xiao Heng looked up and his eyes were a little red, Wu Chi knew that he had been bullied since he was a child, and he must still be afraid of Xiao Heng's family in his heart.

Xiao Heng wrapped his hands around Wu Chi's waist and pulled Wu Chi into his arms, as if he had found comfort, he relaxed and buried his head in Wu Chi's shoulder, Wu Chi's pupils were slightly open, and he still slowly stroked Xiao Heng's back.

Xiao Heng's exposed eyes opened a little, and with a smile, he looked at the figure that was revealed after the crowd dispersed.

Yin Qu stared coldly at the two people hugging each other on the steps, his eyes were as cold as stars, his eyebrows were angry, showing a sense of sharpness, so he looked at the two quietly and indifferently, and after a while, his eyes narrowed, and he turned to leave.

Song Lin followed behind Yin Qu, sensing that Yin Qu's air pressure seemed to be low to the bottom, and said weakly, "General, didn't you go to the plot of the Ming County Lord outside the city to check?" “

Yin Qu stepped onto the horse, his voice was not as powerful as before, with a cold voice, "I won't go today, I'll go another day." “

--

Seeing that Xiao Heng had not recovered from the shadow of his childhood, Wu Chi had no choice but to suspend the cancellation of the marriage first, and had no choice but to return to the palace.

Xiao Yushi Mansion

The maid opened the back door, and it was Xiao Nu's family, and the three of them had smiles on their faces.

The maid was not surprised, but led the three of them to the main hall with a blank face

In the center of the main hall was a chest full of silver-glittering stones. When Xiao Nu saw Qian Yankai, she immediately attached it, laughing and stroking the upper layer of the stone.

Xiao Woman's son eased his nerves, looked away from the stone, and said to Xiao Heng on the stage flatteringly

"Big brother, if you still need us next time, feel free to speak."

Xiao Heng raised his eyes, and a cold light shot straight into the audience

"Call me brother again, don't think of going out of this door today."

The three of them were frightened by Xiao Heng's eyes, and they didn't dare to breathe, which was the same person as the weak young man who stood in front of the door earlier, and the three of them immediately saluted and left quickly with money.

--

Wu Chi sat in the courtyard of the Yaxun Palace, looking up at the starry sky, the night sky was full of stars, the moonlight was faint, and the tail end seemed to be sitting firmly on the branches, clean and clean.

Breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes rolled, and he saw Yin Qu again. Recently, because of his engagement to Xiao Heng, he didn't sleep well and always hallucinated.

Wu Chi looked at the figure under the tree and felt that it was very real, the more he looked at it, the more wrong it became, and his flat eyes gradually became surprised, first the palace maid's courtyard, then the Xiyun Palace, and now the Yaxun Palace, Yin Qu seemed to be everywhere.

Yin Qu gradually approached in front of Wu Chi's gaze and sat down next to Wu Chi.

The gentle gaze blended with Wu Chi's eyes, and Wu Chi seemed to be sucked in, sinking into Yin Qu's deep eyes, and his heartbeat accelerated.

"You're out of the palace today."

Wu Chi's eyes flashed, and it turned out that the familiar figure he saw in the crowd today was not an illusion, it was the real him.

Wu Chi pursed his lips and snorted, his confidence was unconscious, and the scene of himself and Xiao Heng hugging each other may have been seen by Yin Qu.

"I'm going to apologize."

Yin Qu's voice was not as tough as before, this time it seemed to be gentle and coaxing a child......

Wu Chi exhaled and looked at Yin Qu indifferently, "The store in the territory of the fifth prince was raided by General Yin, right?" He came to see me a few days ago, and told me that he had been deceived by the queen and was now not treated well in the palace, and that I should let him go, and that those shops were his only remaining property......

Yin Qu said in a muffled voice, "Yes." “

Wuchi pursed his lips and stared down at his toes, "Hmm...... Why before me...... When you are almost humiliated...... Didn't come? “

When he looked up again, Wu Chi's voice was crying, with tears hanging on his long eyelashes reflecting the moonlight, and his eyes were misty, but Yin Qu clearly saw the grievances and sadness from inside, and more disappointed.

At that time, he dragged his weak body out and ran desperately, and the source of that strength was only Yin Qu's face that appeared in his mind.

Yin Qu's heart felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and the hand on his lap wearing the misty hair couldn't stop trembling. Looking at the tears in the corners of Wu Chi's eyes, Yin Qu only felt that no matter what reason he had, he was wrong.

"I'm sorry."

Wu Chi shook his head silently, and cried even more, "Why don't you say it, why don't you say that the outside of the apse is full of your Jingwei, and they have been secretly blocking me when the fifth prince is about to catch me." “

Yin Qu was a little surprised to look at the pear blossoms with rain in the fog, and his heart was full of distress and pity.

After Yin Qu learned that the queen was at the Spring Festival Banquet, he decided to plan the plan, in order to protect the safety of Wu Chi, he personally selected Jingwei to hide around the apse, and repeatedly emphasized that the five princes must not touch an inch of Wu Chi's skin, not a single hair, at that time, he saw that Wu Chi had a button on his neck, and after he went back, he sent those Jingwei heavy punishments to raid the shops of the five princes.

In fact, the button was so hot that Wu Chi opened it by himself under the effect of the drug.
