The doctor from Xiliang City was invited. Deng Zongqi and Deng Wanwan were both guests. Of course, Wei Changying, the host, also accompanied him. Fortunately, after the doctor came, he made various diagnoses at Deng Zongqi's request and confirmed that what Duanmu Xinmiao said was true. Even so, out of trust in the medical skills of the miracle doctor... well, he was afraid at this moment, and there was still doubt in Deng Zongqi's eyebrows.
Wei Changying sent his servants to see the doctor off. He had to fulfill his master's responsibilities and comforted him: "Although sister Xinmiao is a good doctor, she is not ignorant of the importance. Master Deng, please don't worry too much about Wanwan. Master, please Thinking about it, although Sister Xinmiao fell asleep for most of the journey due to motion sickness, she was still awake for a few days with the help of drugs. At that time, no one was prepared for her. What was she going to do? Wanwan's hands and feet should have been hit at that moment, but Wanwan was safe all the way, even if he got a little cold when he arrived...it shows that sister Xinmiao really has no hostility towards Wanwan."
Deng Zongqi didn't think that Duanmu Xinmiao didn't attack Deng Wanwan on the road, so he didn't have any hostility towards Deng Wanwan. If Duanmu Xinmiao and Deng Wanwan didn't get along harmoniously on the road, how could Deng Wanwan listen to her and believe her? Suspicious, he forced his only brother to show her, and helped her persuade Deng Zongqi to drink the bowl of poisoned medicine
Moreover, when Deng Wanwan was surprised and Deng Zongqi vomited blood, Duanmu Xinmiao made no bones about it and said that Deng Wanwan helped her, so that Deng Wanwan couldn't bear the blow and fainted... If she had good intentions towards Deng Wanwan, she would also I would never tell the truth so readily without caring about Deng Wanwan's mood.
However, Deng Zongqi didn't want to refute Wei Changying. He just smiled faintly and said gently: "Don't worry, Mrs. Sister-in-law. Zongqi understands Miss Duanmu's worries about Prince Cai's mother and son. This time, since Wanwan is safe, Zongqi Qi Zi won't take it to heart." The implication is that he doesn't care, but if something happens to Deng Wanwan, he won't let Duanmu Xinmiao go.
Wei Changying admired in his heart that this man was really a gentleman. If he had not been too deeply involved with Concubine Deng, he would not have been able to get away now. With Deng Zongqi's character, he would not have been able to get away after receiving so many favors from Concubine Deng... He is really an excellent person. The choice of sister-in-law. Many of her talented, beautiful, virtuous, and virtuous cousins were waiting for marriage, but it was a pity that such a good candidate could only be let go with emotion.
"Young Master Deng is truly a gentleman." Wei Changying praised him, and once again apologized for their brother and sister being plotted by Duanmu Xinmiao in Mingpei Hall. The two of them greeted each other politely, and Wei Changying said again, "Xinmiao My sister's behavior is ridiculous, and she threatened her life as soon as she came up. However, Mr. Deng was not afraid of sister Xinmiao's threats just now. With this attitude alone, he will definitely achieve success in the future. "
Deng Zongqi was used to hearing words of hope in such situations, and didn't care. However, he heard that the Chief of Guard Ying had finished his greetings and was about to leave. He knew that this was Mingpeitang, the ancestral hall of the Shen family. Even though Shen Zangfeng was not here, but in order to avoid suspicion, there were servants all around. He was afraid that no one would tell the story in detail to the person who was still lying on the couch to rest. Third Young Master Shen heard that with Shen Zangfeng's shrewdness, he might be able to deduce the truth from even the slightest flaw and thus gain a glimpse into his secret thoughts.
But he also knew that if he missed an opportunity like today, he wanted to talk to Wei Changying in private again - even in a situation like this with a crowd of servants, it would be a rare opportunity.
With an inexplicable impulse, Deng Zongqi did not answer Wei Changying's expected humility. Instead, he smiled complicatedly and said, "Mrs. Sister-in-law made me laugh. In fact, just now Zongqi was filled with fear."
"Young Master Deng is really good at joking." These words did not match what Wei Changying had already prepared. Wei Changying quickly swallowed the remark that was on his lips and said with a smile, "Young Master has always been calm and leisurely, but I can't see that Young Master What's there to be afraid of?"
Deng Zongqi just wanted to say a few more words to her at this moment, but he was afraid that the servants around him would see the clues and harm both of them, so he thought quickly and decided to use his sleeping sister as his son: "Zong It's okay for Qi to be alone, but Wanwan is still young and has not left the cabinet. If Zong Qi makes a mistake, I am afraid that Wanwan will lose his kindness and will suffer a lot of injustice in the future. "
"Young Master loves Wan Wan so much. It's really Wan Wan's luck." Wei Changying also noticed that Deng Zongqi's answer was strange, but he thought of the rumors that Deng Zongqi loved his sister so much that he had never married, so he wanted to choose carefully to avoid My wife is unkind, and she was harsh on my sister after they got married... Since I have always loved my sister so much, now when I saw my sister being deceived, I passed out with hatred and breathlessness, and I didn't wake up after receiving another injection. It is understandable that I feel worried and distracted and want to find someone to talk to, but I forget that the person in front of me is a female family member.
Wei Changying changed the topic to Deng Wanwan and comforted him... Deng Zongqi did not dare to find other topics to tactfully persuade her to stay, so he could only listen to her words of comfort and politely leave. go.
After Wei Changying and his entourage left, Deng Zongqi dismissed his servants and sat alone in the hall, drinking tea slowly. He didn't know whether he was happy that he could have a long conversation alone with the beauty he had admired for a long time... or he was sad for this life. Missed
His heart was ups and downs, and when he finished drinking the tea in the cup, he didn't even feel it, it was still on his lips. After a long while, I realized that, looking at the dried tea stems at the bottom of the cup, I smiled to myself, put the tea cup on the table, and thought sadly: "She was the one who promised Shen Zangfeng, a descendant of a noble family, before she was still in her infancy. , how can I marry the only granddaughter of the Wei family in Fengzhou without the help of my elders? Besides... my whole life's future is tied to my aunt. If my aunt is not good, I don't know what I will do if I marry her in the future. It's better not to give up the opportunity, so as not to drag her down. After all, I have no fate with her. Besides, Shen Zangfeng seems to be very good to her, so why should I do it again? If someone notices it, it will hurt her! "
Thinking like this, Deng Zongqi decided not to take such risks as he did today.
However, what he didn't expect was that although he had tried his best to hide his thoughts, he couldn't bear it. Wei Changying was now on the cusp of the storm. If he found any flaws, he would be reported to Shen Zangfeng immediately: "Young Madam, I am talking to Mr. Deng today." We talked in private for a long time, even though there was a servant around, but it was not in line with the rules. "
Since Shen Zangfeng had decided to support his wife to take care of Mingpeitang as soon as possible, he naturally ignored such gossip, asked lightly about the cause and effect, and said: "The responsibility for this matter should be with the fourth brother. Xiangzhi and Miss Deng are both mine now." A guest of Ming Peitang was murdered in my Ming Peitang. Even if the murderer was not someone from Ming Peitang, but another guest, after all, our Shen family is also responsible! We are recovering here, and if my wife doesn’t come forward to smooth things over, why don’t we just let them fight to the death in Mingpei Hall?”
The person who complained said: "Young Madam should have gone to smooth things over. Later, the Deng brothers and sisters left, so it was reasonable for Young Madam to follow and take care of the yard where Miss Deng lived. It's just that the doctors have left, and Young Madam still I have to talk to Mr. Deng for a long time before leaving. This is really... in full view of everyone, and it will inevitably lead to gossip. "
"Since they are in full public view, it can be seen that they are just words of comfort." Shen Zangfeng said calmly, "Xiangzhi's parents died early and he pities his sister very much. This is known to everyone in the imperial capital. Miss Deng's family was too frightened today. I think his brother was also uneasy. The reason why he fell in love with Miss Duanmu in Mingpei Hall was because of my poor hospitality. It was only natural that I send the doctor away with an apology and a few words of comfort. Matter. Isn’t it possible that the young lady in charge is not even this generous? Or are you planning to use this matter to keep my wife hidden in the inner courtyard and let you keep her secret? "
He also said, "Since you know the whole thing so well, my wife has no time to send someone to repay me, but you are running ahead. You must have known what happened today, but you deliberately concealed it! But what use do we need people like you?" When you get back, pack your things and move the whole family out. There is no need to stay in Mingpeitang anymore. "
He just dismissed this man, and Wei Changying arrived just in time. After entering the house, he smiled and asked him about the healing status of his injuries. The couple flirted for a while before getting down to business. Wei Changying raised his hand to sweep a strand of hair behind his ears, and asked with a smile: "I saw someone leaving your yard just now. It seems that a family living in the east area gave birth to a child?"
"I asked them to move out." Shen Zangfeng said lightly, "Just choose someone else to take their place. After all, we have plenty of manpower here in Mingpeitang."
Wei Changying said without asking the reason, "Okay." He added, "Xinmiao and Mr. Deng had a quarrel. Xinmiao said that she was coerced by the imperial concubine to become a spy before she came. Even Queen Cai's mother and son were involved. Xin Miao is very angry now!”
She told him roughly what had happened. The child from that family had already told him the story when he came to ask for a meeting and report. After hearing this, Shen Zangfeng muttered: "The grievances between the lineage of miracle doctors and the Deng family are very complicated. Even if the two sides In fact, I don’t know everything yet, but I do know a little bit about why Divine Doctor Ji accepted Miss Duanmu.”
"ah?"
"It wasn't that the Qian family didn't want to keep Ji Ying after he was deposed. In fact, he couldn't." Shen Zangfeng explained, "Later, Ji Ying and his family were implicated, and the Qian family did their best. Otherwise, the Ji family would not have been exiled to Xiliang , according to Concubine Deng’s wish, she sent them to Donghu. This is why Doctor Ji is still willing to accept Duanmu Xinmiao despite his resentment towards Qian.”
Now that he mentioned Donghu, Wei Changying also understood something and said, "So it was Liu's involvement?"
"The Liu family sent the Qian family to the palace as their successor because of the death of the Holy Emperor Yuan Dynasty. They were also afraid that the Qian family would have a son who would pose a threat to the eldest prince, so they used some methods... However, Ji Ying's medical skills were exquisite, and the Liu family had since The prince had murderous intentions towards Ji Ying before he landed," Shen Zangfeng said, "Firstly, the Qian family is grateful to Ji Ying, and secondly, they are afraid that even the Liu family can't cure the poison of You Laihe, only Ji Ying's lineage. It can be understood that he tried his best to save Ji Ying, but in the end, because he neglected Concubine Huo Shu, who had no one to pay attention to, Liu came up with the so-called ironclad evidence, forcing Ji Ying to die, and his wife, daughter and grandson also suffered. Implicated. After Concubine Huo Shu was convicted, the Qian family tried their best to change the place of exile for Ji Ying's wife and children from Donghu to Xiliang. They also asked our father and mother to take care of them secretly. However, our family was not very happy. I was unwilling to be involved too deeply, so I only told a few people in the clan, and even if I had someone to help me, I would do it in secret so that no one else would know."
Wei Changying said unexpectedly: "So Ji Ying can cure Youlaihe's poison? I think this poison was cured by Ji Ying, the divine doctor."
"Who among their ancestors and grandsons can cure Youlaihe is just a guess." Shen Zangfeng said, "Because the Liu family got this cold medicine from Beirong, it has been confirmed that Ji Qubing can definitely be cured. Others None of them had heard of it. Qian had been in the palace for several years and had nothing to do. After getting pregnant, he immediately promoted Ji Ying to the court... So after the news that Ji Qubing had cured Youlaihe's poison came out, various families It was speculated that the Qian family should have been hit by You Laihe. According to the Liu family's thinking, even if she knew it, she would be helpless. However, the Liu family did not expect that two famous doctors would come out of the Ji family in a row. After finding a way to get rid of this cold poison, and as expected, the Qian family immediately murdered the eldest prince."
Wei Changying thought to himself that even if the deposed Queen Qian didn't have this intention earlier, after being tricked by the Liu family to worry about Laihe, she would still attack the eldest prince just to express this.
She said: "These things from the past... The troublesome thing is that the two sides are now arguing over their own opinions, and neither of them can be sent away immediately. This time they separated the two sides temporarily, but still bent over her She is still in a coma. Although this young lady is a good-natured person, she has a very good relationship with her brother. When she wakes up, there may be another quarrel. If I don’t come up with a charter, I’m afraid I’ll have to pay attention to my negligence in the future. If there's trouble, you can't just keep an eye on them?"
Just asked Shen Zangfeng, "Do you have any ideas?" (To be continued)
