Chapter 148: De-escalating the situation

The first time Xie Zhiyun heard Shen Wenchun's name was from Wei Ying.

That was a few months ago, when Wei Ying had just returned to Yezhou and mentioned the name when he talked to Cui Ji.

Later, Xie Zhiyun knocked on the side and asked Wei Ji, only to know that Shen Wenchun was also Wei Ying's adopted daughter, but she disappeared six years ago.

At that time, the whole of North Vietnam was at war, the population loss was serious, and if one did not pay attention, he would be separated from his relatives, at that time, Wei Ying had just married to Huzhou, everything was a little chaotic, and Shen Wenchun was lost at that time.

It was precisely because of Shen Wenchun's disappearance that Wei Ying had been looking for her in Huzhou without fear of danger, so she saved Shen Wenru by chance.

No one in the Wei family mentioned Shen Wenchun, even Wei Ying only mentioned that once, it seemed that she had completely disappeared from everyone's lives.

It wasn't until now, when a woman who looked five or six points like Shen Wenchun reappeared in front of everyone's eyes, that they seemed to turn this person out of their memories again.

Xie Zhiyun was also just the right amount of surprise on her face, but her heart was heavy, and she forced herself not to look at Wei Ji's expression.

If Princess Dingxi is really Shen Wenchun, and her childhood sweetheart's cousin appears again, is Wei Ji happy or sad?

The happy thing is that she is still alive, and the sad thing is that she has married another woman, and the oral marriage contract between the two people when they were young was nullified overnight.

Xie Zhiyun felt so uncomfortable in her heart, she knew that she shouldn't think about these little things about children's love at the moment, but she just couldn't help it.

And at this moment in the banquet hall, no matter how mixed the hearts of everyone were, no matter how turbulent the waves were, they didn't show too much surprise on their faces.

Only Wei Ying, who was regained because of her daughter's loss, seemed so surprised and apprehensive.

"Chun'er, are you Chun'er? I'm a mother! Wei Ying stood very close to her, reaching out to pull her sleeve.

Princess Dingxi was startled, she took a half step back, and unconsciously hid behind King Dingxi.

Sima Ao hurriedly protected his wife, looked at Wei Cang with some doubts, and then went to see Wei Ying.

"Mrs. Huzhou, this is Xiao Wang's princess, not a pure child."

Behind him, Princess Dingxi nodded vigorously with a pale little face.

Wei Ying didn't care, she had been looking for Shen Wenchun for six years, how could she give up easily.

"She looks exactly like my Chun'er, I'm her mother, how could I recognize the wrong person, Chun'er, Chun'er, don't you know your mother?"

She said, hurriedly pointing to Wei Cang: "That's your uncle, that's your aunt, that's ......"

As she spoke, her eyes unconsciously came to the halberd, and then her mind heated, and she opened her mouth and said, "That's your favorite big cousin." ”

As soon as these words came out, Sima Ao's face sank.

The halberd frowned, his eyes dark, but he didn't speak.

Now Wei Ying is already a little crazy, and she can't open her mouth to stimulate her, making the scene even more chaotic.

Wei Cang has seen all the winds and waves, what happened at this time is just a small thing, he is not flustered at all, and even smiled with Sima Ao.

"Madam, you go and persuade the eldest sister, let's sit down and talk slowly," Wei Cang's voice was clear, and every word fell into Wei Ying's mind, "Everyone is in Yezhou, and we can't run, let's sit down and talk slowly, ask slowly, we can always ask clearly." ”

At this time, Wei Ying couldn't listen to what others said, but she was willing to listen to Wei Cang's words.

Sure enough, as soon as Wei Cang said this, Wei Ying seemed to be in a trance, and then she was helped by Cui Ji, who rushed to her side, and led her to the other side of the table.

Xie Zhiyun got up neatly and asked Cui Ji to place Wei Ying on his side.

The seats at this table were full, one was not much, one was not many, Xie Zhiyun looked at it, and was about to bypass the position of Wei Ying on the table to sit down, when he was grabbed by a gentle palm of his wrist.

Xie Zhiyun lowered his eyes, glanced at the hands of the two people, and listened to the deep voice of the halberd: "You don't need to go over." ”

As he spoke, Wei Yao faintly called Wei Yao's name, and Wei Yao got up very quickly and sat down on Wei Ying's seat decisively.

Wei Ji didn't let go of Xie Zhiyun's hand, and led her to sit in the vacant seat.

Xie Zhiyun lowered her head and didn't look at Wei Ji's expression, her mind was in a mess now, and she could only barely divide her mind to observe the scene situation, and other things could not be analyzed at all.

The halberd didn't speak either.

The two of them sat quietly for a while, and Wei Yingcai on the side gradually calmed down.

Wei Cang smiled at Sima Ao at this time: "Lord, princess, sit down and talk, I will explain to you." ”

Sima Ao's face was not very good-looking, and so was Princess Dingxi, she seemed to be very timid, so she was suddenly a little flustered, and she refused to let go of Sima Ao.

Sima Ao also took her hand, moved the chair to his side, and let her sit beside him.

"Lord, princess, here's the thing."

Wei Cang spoke directly: "My eldest sister adopted a daughter named Wen Chun in her early years, who was thirteen or fourteen years old six years ago. ”

Wei Cang sighed when he said this.

"Originally, the family was very harmonious, and nothing happened, but six years ago, Huzhou Mu Shen Yu asked to marry, and my eldest sister and I both thought it was suitable, and the eldest sister married in Huzhou."

"Unfortunately, at that time, the war was chaotic, and Huzhou was also in chaos, and Wen Chun was lost at that time."

"After the child disappeared, the eldest sister blamed herself very much, and she has been looking for it for the past few years, and almost all of them have become her heart disease."

Wei Cang didn't say the details, he only said the results.

"After all, we watched the children who grew up together, and we always remember her appearance and voice, as soon as we saw the princess today, we immediately felt that the princess was similar to Wen Chun, almost like Wen Chun when she grew up."

"It's not a secret, Wen Chun is the eldest sister's heart disease," Wei Cang sighed, her face full of helplessness, "She suddenly saw the princess who was so similar to Wen Chun, and she suddenly fell ill, if there is any offense, please also ask the prince and the princess Haihan." ”

Wei Cang directly characterized Wei Ying's gaffe as illness, and Sima Ao couldn't say anything no matter how many words he had.

Sima Ao's face was a little pale, and he slowed down before he spoke: "In this way, it is also the fate of our two families. ”

Wei Cang laughed: "The prince is really bold, that is, this is fate." ”

After Wei Cang smiled, he changed his words and asked Sima Ao directly.

"I don't know who the princess is from?"

Things have come to this point, Sima Ao also knew that Wei Cang would definitely ask, so he replied directly: "The princess was born in the Liu family of Yingzhou, and is the third daughter of the great Sima Liucen. ”

Sima Ao said, but when he turned around, he saw Princess Dingxi's pale face.
