Chapter 12: Ancestral Hall Confrontation
This woman's mouth is too poisonous, obviously she cares about him, but the way she uses is really unacceptable, thinking that this kind of character is often misunderstood, he wants Wei Shuyan to see the consequences of not choosing what to say, of course, he won't really do anything to her.
"Good! At this time, the moon is dark and the wind is high, there are only you and me, you can have fun," Wei Shuyan reached out and hooked Shen Yan's belt and shook it back and forth twice, this gesture reminded Shen Wei of the day in the Qinglou, when Wei Shuyan and the woman were entangled.
Wei Shuyan stood on tiptoe on the uninjured foot, stroked Shen Ji's ear with one hand, then slipped down to his shoulder, leaned against the man's ear, and said, "Say, good brother, do you want my sister to teach you." ”
"I," Shen Yi was so frightened that he took a few steps back, "You ......"
He is like a big girl who has been molested, which makes Wei Shuyan smile and lean back.
"Fight with my sister, you are still tender," leaving a defiant look and a proud back, she opened the curtains of the isolation living room and the inner room vividly.
After laughing for a while, the room was quiet, she went back to the bed, touched her beating heart, and when she spoke in Shen Ji's ear just now, her cheek accidentally rubbed Shen Ji's cheek, and the feeling at that moment was like an electric shock, a touch she had never felt before, so she quickly fled back.
Is this feeling a scary? Why is her heart beating so fast, impossible, how many times she has escaped death, how many times has she slashed at her with white-edged poisonous arrows, and she is "afraid" that there is no such word in her life.
Shen Wei stood stunned for a long time, he raised his lightly injured hand and touched the place that had just been touched by Wei Shuyan, he couldn't stop being hot, hot, his mind was blank, he only remembered that when Wei Shuyan approached him, his heart seemed to jump out, and he even stopped breathing.
He breathed a sigh of relief, jumped on the bed of the arhat, and continued to meditate and chant the scriptures, the north wind outside the house was howling, lightning and thunder were roaring, and the hearts of the two people in the room seemed to be like the restless weather.
*
Xiao Yu ran all night in the rainy night, and finally arrived at Jinyuan Town, but when he learned that Wei Shuyan had never come, he was overjoyed, his body was already weak, and he fell down on the spot after a night of cold wind.
The accompanying guards found an inn to settle down, and then invited a doctor, and after a day and a night, Xiao Yu woke up, but she didn't care about her body at all, and asked Wei Shuyan for the first time.
Du Hong, the leader of the guards, confessed to all the Wei family's shops, and as soon as there was news of Wei Shuyan, they came to the inn to tell them, and their own people were also looking for them in the town, but there was still no news.
They came by road from Gangneung, and the valley was rugged, and Wei Shuyan might have been injured and had to avoid being pursued, so it might take more time.
Xiao Yu asked Du Hong to guard the various entrances of Jinyuan Town, as long as Wei Shuyan arrived, he could find it immediately.
I waited for two days, but I didn't wait for Wei Shuyan, but waited for bad news.
The news of Wei Shuyan's death from a cliff spread all over Jiangling City, and the head of the Wei family handled the aftermath for Wei Shuyan in the ancestral hall, which was just an excuse to discuss who would inherit the Wei family's property.
For such a major event as fighting for family property, of course, Zhang Yan cannot be missing, and when she got the news, she rushed to the Wei Mansion with the people of the Liu family.
Almost all the well-known people in the business and political circles of Gangneung gathered together.
Most of the people in the Wei Mansion came to Wei Shuyan with Xiao Yu, and the rest of the people were not enough to control the scene, and there was no one in charge, so they were helpless.
The Wei family is what Wei Shuyan cares about the most, and she must not let the Wei family fall into the hands of others.
*
Wei Shuyan was lying on the table, Shen Wei brought a bowl of hot vegetables, she turned her head away, and hummed a few words with her nose: "It's been three days, I've eaten wild vegetables for three days." ”
Shen Wei brought the bowl of food to the other side, where Wei Shuyan could see, and he replied: "Didn't you say that you wanted to recuperate here." ”
"Take it away, I want to vomit when I see it now," If Shen Ji hadn't secretly released the pheasant she caught, she would have been drinking the thick chicken soup instead of smelling the bitter smell of wild vegetables.
"Let's eat something," Shen Wei took a plump and fresh wild vegetable and put it in his mouth.
Wei Shuyan suddenly got up, so frightened that the wild vegetables in Shen Ji's mouth snapped back into the bowl, seeing Wei Shuyan hurriedly going out of the door, Shen Wei asked, "Where are you going?" ”
"Get my chickens back," Wei Shu chirped.
Seeing that Wei Shuyan was really going, Shen Wei stopped her: "Wait." ”
Wei Shuyan turned around impatiently, she thought that Shen Ji was going to give her a lecture again, but she saw Shen Ji take a pear from her arms and hand it to her, saying, "I originally wanted to surprise you after eating." ”
Wei Shuyan took it happily, for her, as long as it was either a wild vegetable or a delicacy in the world, she wiped her clothes casually and took a bite: "Where did you get it?" ”
Shen Wei didn't answer her, turned around and went to the bamboo basket on the stove, took out a small bag of things wrapped in coarse cloth, returned to the dining table, placed it on the table, and as soon as his hand was released, a few pears rolled around the table a few times, he ignored Wei Shuyan, and continued to bury his head in eating his wild vegetables.
Shen Wei didn't eat a few bites, and Wei Shuyan also came back, put down the pear, picked up the chopsticks again, and moved the bowl in front of him.
The two seemed to have a tacit understanding, and did not say anything more.
*
In the ancestral hall of the Wei family, the white silk is entangled, a coffin is placed in the main hall, there are a few people kneeling in front of the coffin wearing linen and filial piety, sometimes I hear a few funny cries, but there is not a drop of tears on the faces of those people, and several old men standing behind them, touching their beards, are discussing something.
"Granddaughter, just go, what should this big family business do!" The person who was talking was Wei Shuyan's maternal ancestor's cousin, and he was the highest ranking in the clan.
His words seemed to be sorry for Wei Shuyan, but his sunken eyebrows and eyes and the fact that he couldn't tell whether it was a wrinkle or a smile between the corners of his lips couldn't be hidden.
"Seventh uncle," a middle-aged man in his forties saluted, "and now the surname of the Wei family is also a man under my knees." ”
He pulled the fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy behind him forward, and said, "It seems that the burden of this Wei family can only be borne by him." ”
"Hmph," another person got up from the chair, "The third brother said this interestingly, why is there a man in your family, and my eighth aunt's belly hasn't come out yet?" ”
The third child: "Big brother, it's not me talking about you, you have six daughters, and if you have one more, you will become seven fairies, so you can stay alive and be your Jade Emperor!" ”
"You." The eldest brother's angry face was swollen red with anger.
"The two elder brothers are right," another person popped up behind him, "However, my Wei family has been in business for generations, so why should I be stuck in the difference between men and women, as long as I can carry forward the Wei family, what if it is a man or a woman." ”
"Fifth brother, you don't have a son in your family, of course you say so." The third brother turned his head and said to the seventh uncle fairly, "Seventh uncle, don't let the things of the Wei family fall into the hands of foreign surnames again." ”
The seventh uncle nodded, as if he agreed, and there was a commotion in the ancestral hall in an instant.
"Ladies and gentlemen," just as everyone was in the middle of the discussion, a group of officers and soldiers rushed in and interrupted a few people.
Behind these officers and soldiers was a noble lady dressed in a gorgeous costume, and the noble lady swept her long sleeves and said: "Wei Shuyan is the daughter of my Liu family, and of course her aftermath will be handled by my Wei family."
"As for my daughter's property, of course, it also belongs to the Liu family, so I won't bother your old man." The noble lady walked up to the seventh uncle step by step.
Seventh uncle: "Hmph, Wei Shuyan has already severed relations with the Liu family, and even changed his surname, no one in Jiangling City knows about it." ”
"yes."
"I don't need outsiders to interfere in the affairs of my family."
The few people who had blushed and had thick necks just now were united.
Zhang Yan walked lightly to the front of the coffin, reached out and stroked the wooden board that was painted with a layer of red paint, and pretended to say: "Even if she breaks off the relationship with my Liu family, but the bloodline cannot be broken, whether she admits it or not, she is the daughter of the Liu family, and her biological mother, Wei, is the authentic Miss Wei." ”
Her long sleeves slid onto the coffin, and then slid down from the coffin, glanced at the group of people in the ancestral hall, and said disdainfully: "It's you, a group of vampires, Wei Shuyan has already swept you out of the house." Why don't we go to the government and talk about who the Wei family should belong to. ”
"You poisonous woman, don't think we don't know, you are officials and officials, and you want to trick us into going to the government." The third child was short-tempered and ready to fight, but in front of those officers and soldiers who were even more fierce and vicious than him, he still became a wilting grass.
The seventh uncle was on crutches, trembling and maintaining his majesty, and the third child was pulled behind him, and the old man said solemnly, ""This is the territory of the Wei family, even if you want to divide it, it should be someone from the Wei family, you are neither surnamed Liu nor surnamed Wei, in what capacity will you appear in the court?" ”
"Wei's body is weak, and he is a concubine, of course my mother-in-law will come forward." Zhang Yan went to that station, and she really had the demeanor of a general's wife.
"Hahaha," the seventh uncle squinted his eyes with a gray beard, "Why did your Liu family ask to take the daughter of a merchant as a concubine at the beginning, everyone knows it, now that the crisis of the Liu family has been solved, Liu Zhao will expose his true colors and hand over the mother and daughter of the Wei family to you, a poisonous woman." ”
Zhang Yan gritted her teeth in anger, but she still maintained her dignity in front of outsiders, she condensed all her qi in her palms, and her slender nails were deep in the flesh.
Zhang Yan: "No matter how poisonous I am, I am also Wei Shuyan's nominal mother, unlike you, a group of dogs who have been kicked out of the house, and they are not even worthy of guarding the door." ”
"You," Uncle Seven was so angry that he almost couldn't stand still, and several middle-aged men behind him hurriedly caught him.
"Come on, invite them out!" As soon as Zhang Yan's voice fell, several soldiers drew their sabers at their waists and were about to drive people out.
Suddenly, another group of people poured in from outside, all dressed in different costumes, but with uniform movements, no worse than the well-trained soldiers.
Behind the soldiers came a little girl in a green veil, who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, her face was slightly pale, but her speech was sonorous and powerful.
"This is the Wei Mansion, where did the cats and dogs come from to be presumptuous here."
The people in the hall were startled at first, thinking that someone had come back to life, and when they saw the person who came, they smiled contemptuously.
"Who shall I be? It turned out to be Wei Shuyan's dog, or a little. The boss let go of the seventh uncle who was holding him weakly, and walked straight to Xiao Yu, with an obscene expression, "Wei Shuyan is dead, or you can go home with me and be my ninth aunt!" ”
For the people behind the boss's behavior, all of them are contemptible.
The boss reached out to touch Xiao Yu's face, she turned around and came behind the man, and kicked him in the gut, before the man fell to the ground, a powerful leg kicked him in the chin, and the whole person stood up again, and then a fist weighing like a thousand gold came impartially towards his face, two punches, and even two teeth were knocked out.
After Du Hong did all this, he stood back behind Xiao Yu again, his eyes stared straight at Xiao Yu, who was walking a little shaky in front of him, he was ready, as soon as she fell, he would immediately catch it.
In just such a moment, those who could speak well in the ancestral hall all shut up, and only Zhang Yan, who was protected by a few guards, dared to be arrogant.
"It is worthy of being the dog next to Wei Shuyan, as ruthless and inhumane as her." Zhang Yan's nostrils were facing the sky, and she didn't even look at Xiao Yu with her eyes.
Xiao Yu used some force to kick that person just now, her face turned pale, her eyes widened angrily, and she approached Zhang Yan, the soldiers around Zhang Yan clenched the handle of the knife one after another, and slowly pulled out the white blade, but Xiao Yu just saluted Zhang Yan.
Xiao Yu: "I've seen Madame." ”
"Hmph, you have been following Wei Shuyan for so long, don't think that with this lady, I can let you keep you." Zhang Yan thought that Xiao Yu wanted to tie herself up to protect her current status.
Xiao Yu got up, and suddenly darkened in front of her, but fortunately, the darkness quickly dispersed, her tone was weak, but she still narrated in an orderly manner, "Madam misunderstood, I saluted you is a courtesy, and Miss taught me." As for the rest, I'm Miss's person, and I'll be where she is. ”
"Then, she's going to hell now, why don't you keep up." Zhang Yan smiled.
"Tear these things apart." Xiao Yu looked at Du Hong behind him and motioned for them to step forward,
"Stop, is this also where you are presumptuous?" Zhang Yan shouted, and the soldiers and guards of the Liu family confronted each other.
"Madam, my young lady has only been out for a few days, I don't know who it is, such a rumor has been spread, and others can believe it," Xiao Yu glanced at the Wei family, who was trembling with the boss, and continued, "How can you believe it." ”
Xiao Yu tried her best to make herself look calm, so that Zhang Yan would not see the flaws.
"Really?" Zhang Yan walked over and whispered in Xiao Yu's ear, "Don't think I don't know, Wei Shuyan fell off the cliff, you have been looking for a long time without success, and you hurried back when you learned the news." ”
Zhang Yan: "You have followed Wei Shuyan for so many years, you should know my temper, I am not absolutely sure, how can I make a move." ”
"Xiao Yu, as long as you announce to everyone that Wei Shuyan is dead, and hand this over to you before you die, I can guarantee that your life will not change in any way, and you will not be angry with you because of her."
Zhang Yan handed a letter to Xiao Yu, she opened it and saw that it was a will, probably the content of which was that after Wei Shuyan's death, all the family property belonged to the Liu family.
Zhang Yan's abacus is very fine, Xiao Yu looked at the people in the ancestral hall, old and young, all coarse and white, but no one was really sad for Miss, all of them wanted to take everything from the Wei family, and they all wished that Wei Shuyan was really dead, even if she didn't die, she wanted to curse her to death.
She suddenly felt a surge of anger in her heart, blocked in her chest, and couldn't disperse for a long time, she angrily tore the piece of paper into shreds, and fell backwards in the darkness in front of her.
Falling into a warm embrace, she heard the voice she had been looking for for a long time before she lost consciousness, but she wasn't sure if it was a dream or not.
