Wei Changying was amused and said, "Has it reached this point?"
"In this way, the Holy Emperor will not promote them to leave Fengzhou." Wei Changfeng took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Although it is not impossible for our family to deal with them after they leave Fengzhou, we can solve them in Fengzhou. It’s better to stay in Fengzhou.”
Although his tone was light, he could not hide his sadness. Wei Changying couldn't help but turned to him curiously and asked: "What are you worried about?"
Wei Changfeng looked around, and Granny Shi immediately ordered the idlers to leave. Mrs. Song also asked with concern: "Changfeng, what's wrong?"
"Mo Binwei is unwilling to surrender." Wei Changfeng sighed helplessly.
Hearing this, Mrs. Song frowned, and Wei Changying asked in surprise: "Why? Is it Song Han and Song Duan?" She usually didn't care about such matters in the front yard, thinking that the matter had been solved long ago. According to common sense, Mo Binwei is desperate now. If he doesn't surrender to Wei Changfeng, his survival will be in danger. How can this person still refuse to surrender
"Exactly." Wei Changfeng nodded.
"These two people are now 90% inseparable from Fengzhou. After a few days, they will be completely confirmed as being arrogant and useless, even if they are left to Mo Binwei to take revenge, it will be nothing. "Mrs. Song reminded.
Wei Changfeng smiled bitterly and said: "My mother doesn't know that I promised him the same thing, but Mo Binwei wants to seek justice."
"Fair?" Mrs. Song's face darkened slightly, "Does he want to...?"
"What mother said is that he wants to restore his reputation." Wei Changfeng sighed, "But praising Song Han and Song Duan is the Holy One's intention. Now that the imperial decree has arrived, how can I agree?"
Mrs. Song showed a hint of anger: "This person really doesn't know how to praise!"
Wei Changfeng was influenced by Wei Huan and was very tolerant to talented people, but he persuaded Mrs. Song: "These common people are also miserable. They escaped from the burning city with a narrow escape, relied on their talents and courage to ambush the soldiers, and personally Go into battle and kill the enemy's head... I don't want Song Han to leave. Not to mention, all of this is Song Duan's credit. Mo Binwei was even charged with being timid and fleeing in fear of fighting! Such confusion of right and wrong, we would just change it. I'm afraid I'll be even angrier than him."
Mrs. Song focused on helping her son and hummed: "If you hadn't used him, there's no telling whether this person would have survived! This matter is now so involved that it's unimaginable for a commoner! He thinks that his reputation is restored. Is it simple?”
"From what Changfeng said, Mo Binwei is quite stubborn." After hearing this, Wei Changying thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid he just saw Changfeng and thought there was hope of restoring his reputation? How many days will it take for him to restore his reputation?" Calm down, and you will understand the importance. After all, this person can command the few remaining troops in Liao City to defeat the strong, and after ambushing the Rong people, he even goes into battle to kill the enemy's head - he is definitely not brainless or just ignorant. A stubborn person."
Wei Changfeng thought for a long time and nodded: "Sister said it is true. I have placed him in a secluded place and he has not refused. Based on this, there is still hope for this person to join my sect."
After hearing that her children agreed to give Mo Binwei a few more days, Mrs. Song softened her tone and said, "In that case, let's give him another chance."
Wei Changying saw that Wei Changfeng had nothing else to discuss, so he asked Mrs. Song: "By the way, mother, my eldest cousin has already met my cousin, right? The queen and the noble concubine?" She was with Old Man Song yesterday. After standing there for two hours, he was allowed to leave only during dinner time. For Wei Changying, standing for two hours was nothing, but standing for two hours in front of the Shen family... Although Shen Zhou said some polite words when she paid her respects, and then discussed the great victory of Zhoubei with Wei Huan, there was no such thing. Pay no attention to her again.
But who knows if this person is multitasking and paying attention to his own demeanor and behavior in private? Due to such worries, even if no one in the hall paid attention to him, Wei Changying, who was standing behind Mrs. Song, still did not dare to relax or neglect. He always stood with his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart, upright and respectful. there.
She was not just standing upright. She had to look out of the corner of her eyes from time to time to see if her hair and skirt were messed up by the wind blowing in from the hall. She also wondered if she looked too stiff standing like this all the time. She also wanted to keep her expression on her face. It seems inappropriate to be dignified and reserved? It’s just that there is no place for her to intervene in the topics discussed by the elders...
Thoughts like this were rolling through my mind one after another, but I didn't dare to act easily. Apart from being dignified, I held Shen Zhou in the corners of my eyes and brows, fearing that he would not be dignified and elegant enough when he noticed me. I watched all directions and listened in all directions - It was much harder than usual to practice martial arts with Jiang Zheng.
So after Mrs. Song was released, she almost fell asleep as soon as she returned to Shuangting Court. I don't know what the Song brothers and sisters are saying now.
Seeing that there were no irrelevant people around at this moment, Mrs. Song nodded and said, "The noble concubine is fighting with the queen."
"In the early years, the death of the sixth prince was a bit strange. Although the deposed concubine Huo was once one of the four first-class concubines like Concubine Deng, her temperament was very timid because of her concubine. Especially after giving birth to Princess Lingxian, her favor gradually declined. , I have always lived with Princess Lingxian." Mrs. Song took a sip of tea and continued, "What's more, Ji Ying is so good at medicine. If he really wanted to poison the sixth prince, how could he be easily found out? What good does the prince do to Ji Ying! Later, something happened to the Qian family after he was deposed. We all thought that the Qian family must be worried that the sixth prince would be favored and shaken his son's position as the crown prince, so after poisoning the sixth prince, he Slandering the Huo family and Ji Ying, it seems that the current Queen Gu is not related. "
Wei Changying felt a headache when he heard it, so he said, "Why has this matter taken so long and it's not over yet? My cousin has been implicated again."
"It's too early for the dust to settle!" Mrs. Song shook her head and said, "Concubine Deng is the sixth prince's son. Whoever harmed the sixth prince, the concubine will risk her own life to avenge the sixth prince! From this point of view, Deng Zongqi is somewhat credible. "Mrs. Song regards her children as her life, and she can understand Concubine Deng's desire for revenge after losing her beloved son.
"By the way, mother, that piece of jade pendant with oriole holding zhi." Wei Changying suddenly remembered and reminded, "Did your second cousin give it to Deng Zongqi?"
Mrs. Song frowned and said: "Don't mention this jade thing to Zaishui later. Your eldest cousin was very unhappy yesterday - that is, he was at our house, so he didn't have an attack. When he returns to Beijing, or writes If I write back, I’m afraid there will be another commotion over there.”
Wei Changfeng and Wei Changying asked in surprise, "Why?"
"How do you know that Deng Zongqi knew about the oriole holding the jade pendant?" Mrs. Song snorted, "It was your second cousin! After she came over, she found that your second cousin had kept the jade pendant in a separate box. She told the servants not to move around at will. I don’t know that your second cousin kept some things from their childhood and thought about them, but she suspected that your second cousin had any romantic affairs before marrying her... She didn’t ask your second cousin either. Brother, while your second cousin doesn't look at the jade pendant often, just take it out and secretly inquire among the servants of the Song family. Your aunt went there early. Now your eldest cousin is in charge of the Song family. She knows about this jade pendant. Yes, after hearing the news from his servants, he went to tell Duanmu the reason, and then Duanmu returned the jade pendant!
"Your eldest cousin also heard your eldest cousin mention it privately and didn't take it to heart. Yesterday, when we were talking to Zaishui, we mentioned that your second cousin was not familiar with Deng Zongqi at all, but where did Deng Zongqi get that kind of thing? A similar oriole holding a jade pendant? After thinking about it, it was only the time when your second cousin-in-law was jealous that many servants got to know about it and spread the word! Fortunately, it was not a big deal this time, otherwise it would have been terrible. Did the water also harm our family?" Mrs. Song sighed, "This Duanmu family is really unkind!"
After hearing this, the Wei Changying siblings were dumbfounded and said, "This second cousin is also interesting. Can't we just ask my second cousin for such a thing? Why would there be such a commotion?"
Wei Changying continued to ask about Song Zaishui's marriage, "Did my eldest cousin not mention that I want my cousin to marry into the East Palace now?"
"If he still says that, I would like to ask him how he fulfills his responsibilities as an eldest brother." Mrs. Song snorted, as if she had taught Song Zaitian a lesson yesterday before getting a satisfactory promise to her, and said, "Today's problem How to dissolve this engagement?" After a pause, Mrs. Song sighed, "Your grandfather's letter just came, and it seems to be the same as your grandmother's. This matter must be done with the help of the Deng family."
Wei Changfeng concentrated for a moment and said: "This is a bit troublesome. What Deng Zongqi said before was just a statement on behalf of the imperial concubine. It is not easy to really cancel the marriage." The so-called seizing the day to go to Beijing and using fate to clash with the saint to avoid marrying into East Palace - Concubine Deng came up with this idea. Although Deng Zongqi said that the concubine was still certain of her promise, Deng Zongqi, the trump card of this certainty, naturally refused to say it. In fact, he may not know, but how could the Song family rely on this junior to make such a promise? Do you believe everything you say? If the imperial concubine loses her hand, wouldn't it mean that the Song family would lose a daughter to get in!
At that time, will Song Zaishui help Dong Gong or trick Dong Gong
Therefore, the reason for terminating the engagement must come from the Song family, and the Deng family should take the blame.
"The Deng family is just an aristocratic family, and their family status is not as good as that of the Song family. Being easily succeeded by them will not only arouse suspicion, but also make the Song family lose face." Mrs. Song lowered her voice and said, "Your eldest cousin has an idea. Just let Deng Zongqi recover from his injuries quickly and chase his companions. He and Zai Shui will stay at our house and wait for Zhong Xiaoyi’s family when they pass by Fengzhou, and then join them and go to Beijing together!”
Wei Changying thought for a moment and said, "Ah, is it true?"
"Yes, let's learn from the deposed Queen Qian." Mrs. Song said, "Zhong Xiaoyi is from the Queen, and she comes from a humble background... This is on the surface, but secretly it is of course Deng Zongqi's doing. The Deng family is the mother's family of the Holy Emperor. Even if the matter is investigated to the end, only Deng Zongqi will be prosecuted. For the sake of admonishing the Queen Mother, the Holy One will not do anything to the Deng family!"
The two siblings looked at each other and understood what she meant: Zhong Xiaoyi was from a humble background, so that if her family members were found guilty of murdering the Crown Princess, they would not only be able to attack the Queen, but also avoid offending other noble families. , don’t have more grudges because Song Zaishui doesn’t become the crown princess... In this way, when people talk about it, the criticism of the Song family will be minimized. So Yiwei went to Qingzhou to find Zhong Xiaoyi's family, which was a good opportunity for the Song family - maybe this opportunity was contributed by Concubine Deng
The imperial capital is far away, and it is impossible to get to the bottom of it in Fengzhou. We can only speculate.
Speaking of which, Zhong Xiaoyi is also pitiful. It was the empress who promoted her, but it was probably the imperial concubine's intention to take her family over... Now the Song family no longer wants their daughter to be the crown princess, and her family members are behind her.
However, in this great Wei Dynasty, where superiority is determined by family status, ordinary people like Zhong Xiaoyi are struggling to survive in front of wealthy families...
Wei Changying and Wei Changfeng were still more happy than Song Zaishui: "My cousin doesn't have to be the crown prince who is so troublesome!"
"Isn't it?" Mrs. Song squinted her eyes, but her face was filled with joy but more of melancholy. She sighed softly, "If Empress Gu really killed the sixth prince... both the empress and the prince would fall. That’s great!”
Wei Changfeng glanced at his mother confused, but Mrs. Song lost her mind to speak and said listlessly: "You guys should go back first, I still have some things to do."
After being sent out, Wei Changfeng asked his sister suspiciously: "How can mother hope that the queen and the prince will fall?" Although Mrs. Song also felt sorry for her niece to marry the licentious prince, she was not as young and angry as Song Zaishui and Wei Changying before. Sheng was so extreme that he wished something would happen to Queen Gu and the Crown Prince? What's going on today
Wei Changying tilted his head and thought for a moment, looking astonished, then glanced at his younger brother and said, "I probably know something... but I won't tell you!"
"..." Wei Changfeng looked at her speechlessly, "Then I'll ask my mother later."
"You're not allowed to ask! Are you not in a good mood now that you haven't seen your mother?" Wei Changying heard this and hurriedly stopped him, whispering, "You're not allowed to ask at grandma's place either - I'll just tell you, didn't my mother just say that? ? Did the death of the sixth prince affect Ji Ying’s family? If it hadn’t been for something that happened to Ji Ying’s family, our father would have been able to recover. In the past, my mother thought that the sixth prince was caused by the deposed Queen Qian. , haven’t Qian’s mother and son suffered retribution long ago? But I didn’t expect that the current Empress Gu was also involved! The person who harmed Ji Ying also indirectly harmed our father - do you want to ask your mother again, do you want to make her unhappy? ?”
At that time, the Wei family had not asked Ji Qubing to diagnose and treat Wei Zhenghong because they did not believe that when he was eleven years old, his family had undergone a huge change. He had been living in the village for four years with no one to care for him and no guidance. At the age of fifteen, he could practice medicine alone. But if Ji Qubing Ying was fine. He didn't mention whether Ji Ying could cure Wei Zhenghong. He just said that if Ji Qubing had the reputation of "the eldest grandson of the court judge who carefully taught him and the direct descendant of the century-old Ji family" and had his hair tied at the same age, With Ji Ying standing by and guaranteeing him, the Wei family will definitely try to find him...
If she hadn't held a grudge against this matter, considering that the Wei family's grandchildren had not yet grown up and their descendants were weak, and they needed to keep a low profile and bide their time, why would Mrs. Song have rashly followed the situation of the Song family's regretful marriage, instead of immediately getting rid of it
Although Mrs. Song and Mrs. Song are both daughters of the Song family, and Wei and Song have always been harmonious, a large part of it is because they hate the real culprit behind the murder of the Sixth Prince and the frame-up of Concubine Huo Shu and Ji Ying, and indirectly killed Wei Zheng. Just Hong!
When Wei Changfeng heard this, his expression changed... (To be continued)
