Because of Wei Zhengyin's cold water, Wei Changying was listless for the next few days, which made Huang, He and others very worried.
After Wei Zhengyin, Wei Shengxian, Queen Run, and even Wei Shengyi sent Wei Changwan to the door to congratulate them. In addition, Wei Changwan, a relative of the Shen family, although he treated the many people who came to congratulate him with a smile on his face, As soon as the person left, he returned to his gloomy mood. No matter how Huang tried his best to relieve her boredom and He tried to amuse her, Wei Changying remained silent.
Since what Wei Zhengyin said to her niece was in private when the aunt and nephew were together, Huang and others didn't know why Wei Changying was worried. After discussing it in private, they thought of one person.
It started to rain in the afternoon that day. Wei Changying was lying on the couch in the inner room, listening to the rustling of the banana trees outside the window by the rain, and fell asleep unconsciously. She didn't know how long she slept. When she woke up, she saw the outlines of several people outside through the curtain. She glanced at it casually and said that the servants were worried and were guarding outside. She didn't pay much attention to it, so she raised her voice. Ask someone to come in and wait on you.
Unexpectedly, the curtain was lifted, and the person who came in first had a pretty face, but a scar on his forehead ruined his original dignity and beauty. The one who was full of smiles was none other than Song Zaishui!
Wei Changying was surprised and happy. He got up and said, "Cousin, why are you here?"
"You should take it easy and get up slowly!" Song Zaishui, who was originally looking at leisure, saw his cousin sit up suddenly and hurriedly stepped forward to support her and said angrily, "Don't they say you are wholeheartedly trying to prevent the miscarriage? Why are you still so irritable?"
Wei Changying quickly sat down carefully and asked again: "Why is my cousin here?"
Ordinarily, she is pregnant and her biological cousin should come over to visit her. However, everyone in the imperial capital knew that Song Zaishui had lost his appearance. Since then, Miss Song has excused herself from poor health and needed to rest. Everyone understood her experience and tacitly refrained from mentioning her.
Now that Song Zaishui suddenly arrived, Wei Changying was overjoyed and full of surprise. He kept asking why - Song Zaishui put his finger on her forehead and said with a half-smile: "I rushed over to see you, but you still don't appreciate it." ? By asking like this, do you dislike me? "
"I dislike you for coming so late, cousin." Wei Changying said with a smile, "But seriously, cousin, why did you come here in person? I also wanted to wait until I feel better to see you again."
Song Zaishui said: "You have been unhappy these past two days, haven't you made your dowry anxious? No, Aunt He went to find me in person and asked me to accompany you and coax you, the eldest lady. So happy!”
Wei Changying was quite surprised and said, "I didn't even know about this."
"What else do you know now besides this precious treasure in your belly?" Song Zaishui teased her, but then he answered seriously, "Aunt He originally didn't want to tell me, but I also planned to come here to find you in the next two days. It's just that big My sister-in-law has never been in good health, and my second brother has divorced his wife. I have to take care of everything in the house, and I can’t get away from it for a while.”
When Wei Changying saw that Song Zaishui had entered the tent and everyone else had left, so that his cousins could talk freely, he lowered his voice and said, "Cousin, you'd better be careful about Cousin Huo. I could see clearly in the hall that day. , Duanmu Wuse actually has no intention of pushing down Cousin Huo. I think this cousin is not simple. Now, in order to prove that Duanmu Wuse is not ill, who knows what she is planning? Cousin, you have to be careful in running the house. Hey, don’t let this cousin’s mind trick you.”
After Song Zaishui heard this, he showed a half-smiling expression and said: "Oh, good cousin, you care about me. But you really underestimate me... You miss me, your eldest sister-in-law, because of your natal family background. It’s not as good as Duanmu Wuse, who has been tormented by Duanmu Wuse in every possible way for so many years, but has never been able to do anything to this sister-in-law. Why did he drive Duanmu Wuse away feeling refreshed not long after I came back?”
"Did you do it?!" Wei Changying was startled and said in shock!
Song Zaishui didn't hide anything, and said happily: "It's not me, could it be you?"
Wei Changying asked curiously: "Is it because of the things she did to embarrass you before?"
"What happened before is in the past. Am I the kind of person who just settles old scores when I have nothing to do?" Song Zaishui asked back, her pretty face sank slightly and said, "Duanmu Wuse committed suicide on his own!"
"What did she do?" Wei Changying asked in surprise. Looking at Song Zaishui's face, he knew that Duanmu Wuse must have done something that completely angered Song Zaishui - otherwise Song Zaishui would not have simply sent her out and refused to return. Family, this kind of humiliation is not something Duanmu Wuse can bear alone, and the entire Jinxiu Duanmu is shameless - and the Duanmu family didn't even ask for mercy from the Song family!
This is a feud between the two families!
Based on Song Zaishui's level of knowledge, it was not a big deal. Song Zaishui would never provoke an enemy of similar family status to his family. It can be seen that what Duanmu Wuse did must be extremely excessive, so much so that even Song Zaishui could not tolerate the demeanor that was cultivated in response to the queen's requirements.
Sure enough, Song Zaishui said with a cold face, "She thinks I'm an eyesore at home, so she wants to betroth me to a brother from her branch in the next room."
Wei Changying said in surprise: "She really dares to think about it! Not to mention that my uncle is still here, my eldest cousin and sister-in-law are here, and my second cousin is also here. Is it her turn to be verbose about your marriage? What's more, since she is right If you don’t like it, the person you choose is definitely not a good one!”
Song Zaishui sneered and said: "Do you think she deserves it? Then you underestimate her! I tell you, if it was just this one thing, I wouldn't treat her like this! You said she didn't know, father With my two brothers and my sister-in-law here, it’s not her turn to decide my marriage? So she came up with a perfect idea!”
"What good idea did she come up with?" Wei Changying asked in surprise.
"She wanted to make things happen, and there was nothing she could do about it, father and the others." Song Zaishui said calmly, "So she secretly let her brother into the Sikong Mansion through the back door and pointed him to my yard. I planned to have someone catch her brother if he came near my yard, and insist that I was having an affair with that person. If my sister-in-law hadn't been trying to deal with her and kept an eye on her, I would have done it. I will either endure the humiliation and marry the person she wants me to marry, or I will not accept the humiliation and give up... Do you think I can keep such a person in the Song family? Do you really think I am a dead person? ?"
Wei Changying was stunned for a long time, and then he sneered again and again: "Cousin, why didn't you send someone to tell me in advance about such a big thing? If I had known that this bitch was so vicious, I would guarantee that she would come to Shen's house that day. You will definitely die after you go back!" She could understand why the Song family refused the Duanmu family's plea, and even refused to let Duanmu Wuse die of a sudden illness at her husband's house or commit suicide to cover up Jinxiu Duanmu's name - Duanmu Wuse With such shamelessness and viciousness, Song Yu Wangruo would still be willing to give dignity to his in-laws, unless he was born with no temper!
"Why should I want her to die?" Song Zaishui said calmly, "Cousin, you are still too soft-hearted. Well, it should be said that you are still a little too impulsive. You killed someone in the fire and it was a pleasure for a while. But when you think about it later, you still feel resentful. Can you go dig the grave and whip the corpse?" He smiled slightly and said, "Now she is divorced and returned home alive and well. People in the whole clan blame her for her bad behavior and ruining Jinxiu Duanmu's reputation. They originally loved her and pitied her. My family and relatives all lost their face... You said being forced to death by your own relatives, which one is more painful and infuriating than us doing it? "
"Oh, poor cousin." Wei Changying was relieved after hearing this, and sighed, "After Cousin Huo told you the matter, did you make this plan with Cousin Huo? Then what happened to Pei Meiniang? Woolen cloth?"
Song Zaishui laughed and scolded: "Don't call me 'poor cousin', as if I am useless and pitiful. Shouldn't the poor one now be Duanmu Wuse?" Then he said, "Pei Meiniang also said this from my sister-in-law. , you fourth younger brother and sister..."
She pondered for a moment, looking indescribable, then paused and said, "Pei Meiniang wants to hand over her name to you!"
"Ah?" Guard Chief Ying said in astonishment, "What do you mean?"
"From your husband's eldest sister-in-law to you, we are all the daughters of a noble family. She is the daughter of a noble family. Although the Taifu is close to Uncle Xiangning, in the eyes of outsiders, everyone in Uncle Xiangning's house is not the same. "It's too low for the Tutor's house." Song Zaishui said slowly, "Some people don't care about this feeling, but some people are not happy about it."
Wei Changying pondered and said, "Are you saying that she has gone through all this trouble since she came here just to help me?" In the matter of Duanmu Wuse being divorced and going home, Wei Changying did benefit. And no one doubted this benefit, and everyone said that she was lucky.
Now that I think about it, is Pei Meiniang risking her reputation as a good girl and using Song Zaishui to drive away the vicious second sister-in-law and return her home, so as to take away Duanmu Yanyu's authority from Wei Zhangying
Song Zaishui said: "I haven't seen her much. It was my sister-in-law who instigated and instigated her. I guess Pei Meiniang's thoughts are like this: She is afraid that because of her birth and Xiangning Bofu, she will be inferior to Taifufu in every way. Because of that, it depends on the expressions of Mrs. Su and your three sisters when they come over. However, where the lintel of the Pei family is placed, she also knows that if it is really like this, she will not look at it if she doesn't want to, so she just comes. I'm making a desperate move and surrendering my name to you..."
At this point, Song Zaishui smiled and reminded, "Don't think she respects you so much. She chose you because of Shen Zangfeng."
Chief Wei gave her an angry look and said, "I know!"
"Shen Zangfeng's status in the clan determines that you will basically be the head matron of the Shen family in the future." Song Zaishui said, "Pei Meiniang was not willing to be at the bottom among the sisters-in-law, so she calculated that even if she couldn't surpass you, at least she would be the best. I want to get a status just below you. In addition, my sister-in-law revealed to her in private that since you came here, you and your two sisters-in-law have not been on good terms, especially with your second sister-in-law Duanmu Yanyu. The relationship is not very good... Of course, my sister-in-law said this because she really wanted to deal with Duanmu Wuse. In fact, she has no idea about your relationship with your two sisters-in-law since you came together, and which one you have a worse relationship with. .”
"Cousin Huo is really a thoughtful person!" Wei Chang said, "But she is planning such a big thing, which involves the Shen family, the Song family, and the Duanmu family. She is not afraid that one of them will do something wrong and the matter will be leaked. Will you reap the consequences?"
Song Zaishui smiled and said: "Don't I still think and consider for her?" He added, "Besides, do you think that all those years of enduring Duanmu's colorlessness and building a reputation for being virtuous and kind from head to toe will be in vain? ? All the things she was instigating behind her back were said in vain, without even a word of evidence. Even if Pei Meiniang told the truth, what would she be afraid of with my sister-in-law's virtuous reputation? "
Chief Wei Ying said: "That's true, especially when Pei Meiniang is making such a fuss now, she has confirmed her reputation as an unworthy woman. The reason why she was not divorced is because the fourth brother tried to protect her. In this case, she still If you want to talk about Cousin Huo, it will not shake Cousin Huo's status, and it will also put yourself in a situation of no return. "
"So you know why I said I must come to see you in the next two days?" Song Zaishui said with a slight smile, "Pei Meiniang gave you a big gift as soon as you walked in, and Duanmu Yanyu was disabled for you... She did this again If it’s not for the sake of good deeds, why would you keep hiding your name? No, you’ve been secretly urging me to come over and explain it to you these past two days.”
Wei Changying said with a smile: "I have really benefited from her. If you hadn't told me in person, cousin, I would never have thought of it or believed it. To be honest, cousin, when I saw Pei Meiniang causing trouble like that before, I couldn't believe it. My aunt persuaded me to stay away from her from now on." He then pondered, "But now that I understand what she means, what should I do? She's not allowed to interfere. That's what my second uncle said in person. How do you think I'm going to respond to her? ?”
Song Zaishui pursed her lips and said: "I don't think there's anything wrong with you accepting her - your two sisters-in-law came in too early and are deeply rooted. You accepted Pei Meiniang, even if they are cousins in the next room, it's better than fighting alone. It's easy. Pei Meiniang is brave enough to think and act, but now she is destined to be a bad person. There are many places where she can be useful in the future..." (To be continued)
