Madam Song made up her mind to keep an eye on her second wife, so as not to cause trouble to her beloved son-in-law again, so she quickly and resolutely decided on a strategy to restrain her second wife - of course she couldn't really let her make a ruthless plan when necessary. Wei Huan knew.
So when she looked back at Wei Huan who had been given the medicine, Mrs. Song changed her explanation: "Mr. Lu died young, and I raised Sheng Yi. If he was a good person, would I not tolerate him? Shen Nian He Shenghe, when did I say that they were not good?" He first accused Wei Shengyi of being unfilial as his aunt, and then said sadly, "You just saw that he said that he wanted to adopt Changsui. Zheng Hong, what do you think his intentions are?"
Wei Huan sighed: "Zheng Hong had no children at that time, and he had good intentions."
"Good intentions?" Mrs. Song immediately threw away her misery, sneered, and said disdainfully, "Then let me ask you, the two of us are still here, it is his turn to make irresponsible remarks about the step-heir? He is the head of the clan. Or are you the head of the clan? We haven’t even spoken about such a big thing yet. Is this a person who keeps to himself? Have I wronged him? , don’t tell me he doesn’t understand the rules here! He did it on purpose!”
"...It's all in the past." Wei Huan felt a headache. "As you said, he was not good. He had the intention of scheming against his brothers, but he didn't go to the point of not going to death. Besides, he is the only one in Ruiyu Hall now. Hold on there, if our team loses the court officials, it's okay if Changfeng and the others want to seize the title or take over Ruiyu Hall, but they can't count on the honor of Shangzhu Kingdom - who can replace Sheng Nian or Sheng He? He? Mr. Jingping refuses to serve again! I think it’s just a matter of beating him up. After all these years, we have returned to Fengzhou and they have been living together in the imperial capital. Fortunately, things are not irreversible now. You Just making a big fuss..."
He touched the wound on his head and said with a wry smile, "You feel sorry for Chang Ying, but also think about Chang Feng? Without this uncle, would he have relied on the Marquis of Jingcheng when he became an official? In my opinion, this time The matter may not have been instigated by Marquis Jingcheng. Sheng Yi has always been afraid of you. I am afraid that someone on their side was accidentally tricked into making a few remarks. As a result, Marquis Jingcheng got an opportunity... Once Sheng Yi cannot be an official in the court, or cannot If An Xin is an official in the court, of course we, Rui Yu Tang, will suffer the loss, but Zhi Ben Tang can take advantage of the situation and occupy our place as a member of the same clan. "
As he spoke, Wei Huan's face became serious and he said, "It is said outside that Wei Qi was promoted to Situ because of my promotion. But you know, although Zhibentang is also a member of the Fengzhou Guard, after all, our bloodline has become estranged. We Rui It’s not like there are no officials to cultivate the distant branch of Yutang. How could I propose this to the emperor? When the emperor inquired about it, he was the one who saw through my intentions and had to take advantage of the situation... Otherwise, how could he be appointed Situ again? Taking over Yanzhou Xingtai? But although the Holy One trusts him, he also trusts me, because I am still coveted by Wei Qi!"
Everyone thinks that Rui Yu Tang and Zhi Ben Tang, who are from the same clan and have close interactions with each other, must also be harmonious and friendly. But I didn't expect that Wei Huan and Wei Qi were fighting secretly for more than a day or two. This is all because the Wei Dynasty has always only had six shangzhu states, one for each surname. For example, Xiliang Shen only has one hereditary title and no strong branches, but it doesn't matter. But there is a branch of the Wei family who knows that the power of this sect is not inferior to that of our sect. Although the honor of the Shangzhu Kingdom has always been passed down from generation to generation in Ruiyu Hall, the old Duke Jingping, because the current Duke Jingping is inactive, knows that this sect covets him. Once again.
If it hadn't been for Lao Jingpinggong's decisive decision to pass Ruiyu Hall to his capable concubine Wei Huan, Ruiyu Hall might not have been able to firmly occupy the position in DPRK and Fengzhou as it does now.
So this time Wei Changying was beaten by his future mother-in-law. Mrs. Song was eager to vent her anger on her granddaughter's behalf, but Wei Huan thought it was Marquis Jingcheng's plan.
Madam Song said with a sullen face, "Yes, if the second room hadn't leaked the news, how could we have had such an opportunity? It's always their fault!"
"Yes, they are not good." Wei Huan sighed, "But there is no need to call back Changyun and Changsui? By doing this, don't you understand the meaning of our hall, lest our Ruiyu hall will not be separated from each other? Not divided?”
"So, after thinking about it, I decided that you should write this letter." Mrs. Song said calmly, "I just want them to listen to Wei Shigu's lectures. After all, they have been under the disciples of famous scholars. How can you write it again?" Find a way to give them a good name, so they can be promoted faster. Call them back under such a name, and let me ask them clearly what they should say and what they should not say! "
Wei Changyun and Wei Changsui are both in their twenties and married. They have been in official positions since they were 16 or 17 years old under the influence of their father. Although they are not as smart as their grandfather and father, they still have some influence due to their family background - so Wei Huan was unwilling to call them back because of such a setback in his granddaughter's marriage. This not only distracted Wei Shengyi and deepened the estrangement, but also delayed the future of these two grandchildren.
But according to what Mrs. Song said...
Of course Wei Shigu's reputation is great, and taking classes under him is also a kind of capital after all. Moreover, when the two grandchildren come back, given the status of the Wei family in Fengzhou, it will not be difficult for them to spread a good reputation for being filial and noble... If Mrs. Song is really willing to repay evil with kindness, it will be a trivial matter for her grandchildren to accumulate such a reputation. The important thing is to help eliminate the grudges between the old wife and the concubine. Even if it cannot be eliminated completely, it is still progress.
What's more, Mrs. Song is still so unyielding. If she doesn't ask the second-fang's grandson to come back, she is afraid that Mrs. Song will always believe that the second-fang is plotting against the first-fang. But Wei Huan felt that this time there was a high probability that Zhi Bentang had plotted against him. Even if the second room had the intention, the plan this time was too crude, not to mention that this move was not effective against the first room and Mrs. Song. A fatal blow would further offend his aunt and sister-in-law.
Wei Huan's son Wei Huan knew that Wei Shengyi would never be such a stupid person.
After thinking about it, Wei Changyun and Wei Changsui couldn't explain it to Mrs. Song clearly if they didn't come back. But coming back with two grandchildren is too much to start a fight... It's better to ask one of them to come back and explain things to his old wife. When the time comes, he can persuade her to make peace, and the matter will be over. It's serious for everyone to work together to deal with Zhibentang.
Of course, Wei Huan knew that what Mrs. Song said now would not be nice when her grandson came back, but if he had been in Fengzhou... his concubine and grandson would inevitably suffer some grievances when he came back, and he would definitely not suffer a big loss.
It's natural for juniors to feel angry in front of their elders. Anyway, Mrs. Song knew that her second wife was wronged, so she wouldn't take it seriously. What would happen
After thinking about it this way and being urged repeatedly by Mrs. Song, Wei Huan finally nodded.
Because he had to stay in Fengzhou to mediate the relationship between his old wife and his concubine, of course he couldn't go to Liaocheng. According to the request of Mrs. Song, Wei Huan finished writing the letter calling Wei back to Fengzhou for a long time, and then ordered someone to call him. The third son, Wei Shengnian, came and said: "Tell Song Han that he can handle the matter in the north of the state easily. In addition to the soldiers, all the state Yong can be transferred. The defense of the state city will be temporarily taken over by our private guards. He does not have to worry about it." ! If you want money and food, I will raise it for him, but I won’t let the Rong people ravage our fertile land! If the Rong people build the Jingguan again, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
Wei Shengnian lowered his hands to accept it, but hesitated to speak.
Wei Huan noticed it, frowned and asked, "What's the matter with you?"
"Replying to my father, Donghu has not been defeated, but there are traces of Rong people in Fengzhou, and they can make Liaocheng panic. It is not a small group of Rong people who have sneaked in." Wei Shengnian said, "The boy wonders, is there something from the Liu family? What happened? If so, do you need to recruit more Zhou Yong and ask the imperial court for help? After all, it is not a trivial matter for the Rong people to cross the Nu River!
He was originally an indecisive person and timid. When he heard that Liao City was attacked by soldiers, he was so frightened that he lost his mind. Song Han was also there at the time, so Wei Huan gave him a scolding. Even so, But the more I thought about it, the more worried I became. At this moment, I couldn't help but suggest strengthening defense again.
"Of course something happened to the Liu family." When Wei Huan heard this, he snorted heavily - Wei Shengnian's breathing became lighter, and Wei Huan said coldly, "But it's not time to settle the account yet. Don't worry about it for now... But although there are a lot of Rong people sneaking in this time, they won't be too many. Otherwise, if they attack the Rong people in the north from north to south, wouldn't the Liu family be really doomed? How can the people refuse? That’s why we have to urge Song Han to lead his troops quickly! As for the court, I have my own rules!”
Although Wei Shengnian is not shrewd enough, he has been with his father for many years, so he can still understand such words. He couldn't help being slightly surprised: "Father is talking about the Liu family... why?"
"Let's talk about this later." Wei Huan frowned and said, "Soldiers are valuable and quick. Go and tell Song Han to lead his troops north immediately! There must be no mistakes! By the way, there is no need to let him know about the Liu family's affairs. !”
"Yes!" Although Wei Shengnian was surprised why the Liu family of Donghu suddenly tricked the Wei family, he did not dare to disobey his father's wishes. He quickly gathered his thoughts, bowed respectfully, exited the door, and strode to find Song Han. .
... Old Mrs. Song in the inner room frowned slightly after listening to the servant's detailed report of the conversation between Wei Huan and Wei Shengnian. Chen Ruping dismissed the little maid and picked up the handbag on the couch. Beauty Hammer, beating Mrs. Song's legs, said softly: "Old Madam, I think my servant feels that the second wife has really been wronged this time?"
Mrs. Song muttered: "That seems to be the case... But the second wife always has different intentions. If she keeps beating him every once in a while, who knows what will happen?" Because Wei Shengyi tried to make the Chief Wei Mrs. Song had always regarded the second wife as a thorn in her side regarding the matter of her passing to Wei Zhenghong.
After having her grandson Wei Changfeng, Mrs. Song became extremely vigilant in addition to her disgust towards her second wife, fearing that her grandson would be killed. By then, Wei Huan would be the leader of the Wei family due to his meritorious service. All belong to Wei Shengyi. Just thinking about this possibility makes Mrs. Song want to vomit blood.
Although she knew at this moment that the second bedroom might not want to slander her in front of Mrs. Su, Mrs. Song did not feel that she had wronged them because she had plotted against the second bedroom. She said lightly, "I have sent all the family letters. Anyway, I will ask when the others come back." Let’s talk about it, but this time the matter in Zhoubei is interesting!”
"The Liu family of Donghu deliberately let these soldiers come over. There were twists and turns in the eldest lady's marriage before. It was clear that the lord had to stay in Fengzhou despite knowing that there was something going on in the north of the state." Chen Ruping stopped beating his legs. , said doubtfully, "But I don't know what will happen in the north of the state?"
"Even if Wei Changyun and Wei Changsui come back together and something really happens in the north of the state, they may not be able to keep Zhong Yi in Fengzhou. After all, if Zhong Yi doesn't trust me, can't he take the two of them with him? So they I don't expect that this will keep Zhong Yi in Fengzhou." Madam Song shook her head and said, "The Liu family is thousands of miles away. Although they can make some moves behind the scenes, they are not enough to influence the overall situation. They are just designs. It’s just an opportunity, what you need to pay attention to now is the people close at hand.”
Chen Ruping understood: "My maid understands." (To be continued)
