"Mr. Deng, what do you mean?" Duanmu Xinmiao stopped calling for help, frowned and looked at Deng Zongqi who was slowly putting down the letter signed by Guard Chief Ying on his case, and said unhappily.
Deng Zongqi lowered his head to cover up the complicated emotions that flashed through his eyes. When he raised his head, his eyes had become aggressive: "What exactly did Miss Eight find when she diagnosed her roommate, but she took it lightly because her roommate blocked it... Please give me eight Miss, please tell me!"
Duanmu Xinmiao snorted and said: "Is this why you sneaked into my house and peeked at my letter? You just came in privately uninvited, so forget it. But this letter is neither yours nor Wanwan's business. It doesn’t matter. Just take it and watch it. Isn’t that too much? Do you want to get involved in Ming Peitang’s troubled waters?”
"...I thought it was a letter written by my sister-in-law privately to you, asking you to help her hide it from me." After being exposed in person that he peeked at the letter, Deng Zongqi looked a little embarrassed and explained.
"Ruo Wanwan has already written to me in private, why are you trying to stop me right under your nose just now?" Duanmu Xinmiao curled her lips and said, "She seems to have been beaten."
Deng Zongqi's expression immediately changed: "Who dares to hit her?!"
"I don't know about this." Duanmu Xinmiao sneered, "I wanted to keep her here and ask her in private, but she insisted on going back... By the way, you didn't send her home?"
Deng Zongqi looked livid and said: "Since I suspected that you were helping her hide things from me, I was naturally eager to know. So after I left the house, I found a reason to let her go back by herself... and then climbed over the wall to come in and ask you."
"Even though you two brothers and sisters did not have a high status in the Deng family in the past, each family suffered heavy losses a few years ago, and all your cousins were killed or injured. It is said that your uncles are treating you well now." Duanmu Xinmiao nodded, She said calmly, "With your brother as my backer, Wanwan is not the kind of person who is so weak that she would let her subordinates bully her. I think the person who dares to attack her is either her mother-in-law or her husband. In addition, Who else could it be? She only sees a few people every day! When my eldest sister talked about the heir just now, didn't you think that Wanwan was too perfunctory and didn't even have the intention to talk about it? Dirty, what is it?”
Deng Zongqi took a deep breath, stood up quickly, and walked out!
"Hey, are you confused?" Duanmu Xinmiao was stunned for a moment, then shouted, "This is just my guess. Do you have any evidence? Going to the Zhou family so aggressively... The Zhou family is of the same family as your Deng family, you Do you think Zhou Jianxian will let you deal with it? How will you deal with Wanwan in the future?"
"There is indeed no evidence, but what you said, Miss Eight, is right. How dare I do something to Wanwan? It must be her eldest brother!" Deng Zongqi gritted his teeth and said, "I personally took care of Wanwan and treated her like a jewel. , How can I just sit back and let her be bullied because there is no evidence? I would rather fight with the Zhou family! Take her back to the Deng family and raise her for the rest of her life!"
Duanmu Xinmiao looked at him speechlessly: "Then have you asked Wanwan? I think the person who dares to attack Wanwan and let her hide it from you must be an important person in her husband's family! But even me Anyone who has only gotten to know Wanwan in the past two years knows that Wanwan is the kind of person who dares not tell you despite all the bullying from her husband’s family? Have you ever thought that there must be a reason behind this?”
"..." Hearing this, Deng Zongqi thought carefully for a moment, and his expression suddenly changed, "Could it be that..." He subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the letter he had just finished reading on the desk - Deng Wanwan was raised by him. Yes, of course he knows his temperament.
This sister is soft on the outside but strong on the inside. She looks timid but actually has a strong temperament. Back then in Ming Peitang, I even got sick and ran to fight Duanmu Xinmiao because of him vomiting blood!
How could such a sister be easily manipulated by her husband's family, or when her husband's family status could not suppress the Deng family
He must have been caught for something!
Logically, Deng Wanwan has no such handle, so...could the problem lie with him
In order to save Wei Changying, he exposed his unspeakable feelings in front of the Gu family brothers and sisters, Pei Yu and his younger sister...
These people either owed Shen Zangfeng a favor or did not want to antagonize Wei Zhangying, so they have kept it a secret until now. At least Deng Zongqi himself had never heard of any rumors...could it be said that Deng Wanwan accidentally revealed it and her husband's family caught it? !
It's not impossible.
Deng Zongqi raised his sister step by step. He remembers that when Deng Wanwan was very young, it was the years when the two siblings disappeared. Because she kept crying, the servants were impatient, so Deng Zongqi had to hold her and coax her to sleep. I remember she seemed to have the habit of talking in her sleep...
Deng Zongqi's heart sank: "If for this reason... the Zhou family finds out... then..."
Seeing him staring at the letter motionless, his face gradually turned pale, and for a moment, cold sweat rolled down his forehead. Duanmu Xinmiao was confused: "What's wrong with you?"
"... Miss Eighth, I want..." Deng Zongqi clenched his fists tightly. It took him a long time to calm down and said one by one, "If you... I... want to discuss something with you."
Duanmu Xinmiao said clearly: "I know what you are going to say, look at this."
With that said, she turned around to the cabinet next to her, took out a porcelain bottle, and proudly introduced: "It is colorless and odorless. It will occur three days later. It is guaranteed to look exactly like a violent death! There will be absolutely no flaws! Just sprinkle a little into you With that brother-in-law’s food, it’s hard for Wanwan not to be a widow! I know Wanwan so well, I’ll give you this bottle!”
Before Deng Zongqi could answer, she magically pulled out another porcelain vase of different colors, "Wanwan was bullied like that. Even without looking at the injuries on her body, I could tell she was beaten! Just kill her." Husband, come to think of it, you can’t forgive me! Her mother-in-law is so cruel and doesn’t treat her daughter as a human being! Oh, maybe she doesn’t know, but the old lady in charge doesn’t even know that her daughter-in-law has been bullied by her son to the point of seeking medical treatment. , such a waste, why are you still alive? The effect of this bottle is relatively slow, and it will weaken and die in about half a month! It is suitable for the white-haired person to go down after sending the black-haired person away! It is guaranteed to be justified and no one will doubt it! "
"I'm giving you these two bottles! I don't have a lot of the latter one, so you have to take your time and use it, and you must get it at once! Otherwise, it's not easy to make another bottle in this world." Duanmu Xinmiao Reluctantly, he rubbed it a few times and handed it to Deng Zongqi.
Deng Zongqi was a little stunned... After a moment, he said: "It's not this... Oh, it's not just this..."
Xiliang.
Wei Changying put down the letter in his hand and looked unhappy.
Huang, who had been warned by Shen Zangji a long time ago, advised: "Second Young Master is getting older and it's time for him to gain experience. How can there be any danger when the Valve Master is personally watching?"
"It's dangerous to just follow him!" Wei Changying sneered, "Have you forgotten what happened at Diecuiguan last time?"
"That time, the Valve Master had some thoughts, but he ended up using a substitute, didn't he?" Huang said, "Furthermore, my servant, to be honest, don't get angry! The Valve Master was only thinking about the Fourth Young Master... As for the Second Young Master, the Valve Master will never let him go!"
Wei Changying shook his head: "That's not true! Look at Wenyaozi, except for the concubine who was executed, there are only one legitimate son. Yulan has only had a daughter for so many years. Isn't that just giving up? give up?"
"How can our valve master be compared to Wen Yaozi?" Huang said slightly.
Wei Changying took a breath and said with a solemn expression: "Not necessarily! When Wen Yaozi was in the countryside and had a harmonious relationship with the Qiu family and their children, how could he not take his youngest son and daughter seriously? I'm afraid Wen Yaozi Do you want to be the first to refute? But what about now? People will always change, especially those who are fighting for the world...many people and things are insignificant compared to the world! I can't let my son take such a risk. His father must be reluctant to let him go!"
"The Valve Master is really not that kind of person..." Huang said warmly, "Besides, you can't keep the Second Young Master by your side all the time, right? The Second Young Master will take over Ming Peitang and do big things in the future, no? I may have been under your protection!"
"That will be in the future too." Wei Changying looked gloomy and thought for a moment before saying, "At least for now he is still young, I have to protect him!"
After a pause, she said, "I want to go with him!"
Huang said blankly: "You want to go to the Central Plains too? This... This is not bad, but what should we do here in Xiliang? How can Mr. Wu manage it by himself?"
"Then let the second brother come back!" Wei Changying pinched a few marks on the letter and said bitterly, "The second brother handled several things improperly before, which made my husband spend a lot of effort to change it... Now my husband has another There is no shortage of capable generals who are good at fighting! It is useless for my second brother to stay in the Central Plains. I think it is better to let him come back to take charge, and I will go to my husband instead - he is more stable here than me, a housewife! Going to the Central Plains to take care of my husband is more useful than having him there... so you get the best of both worlds..."
Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Mrs. Huang still listened and said, "Aren't you afraid that the second master is too arrogant..."
"He doesn't even have a son now, and he is counting on his nephew to provide for him in old age. Would he have such thoughts?" Wei Changying curled his lips, "Besides, you don't know how capable my second brother is? He just thought of something, and then What can we do? The Xiliang army is all in my husband’s hands now!”
"But what about the others?" Huang frowned and said, "My eldest sister-in-law and the fifth lady must stay at home. Miss Ji can just go back to Ji's house. But what about the fourth lady? There is also Young Master Wen and Miss Wen. !”
Wei Changying thought for a while and then said: "If the Yi is willing to go back to Ji's house, then she can go back to Ji's house. If not, it's okay to follow me with Yan'er! As for Zhi Qi and Yu Lan... I can write a letter for them. Zhiqi went to Ruiyu Hall to study. Yu Lan is a girl. I think it doesn't matter if she goes back - she was harmed last time because she ate cakes with her brother. Who would harm her again alone? Woolen cloth?"
Although Wei Changying also knew that it was not impossible for him to harm Wen Yulan again alone, after all, there were always exceptions in the world. However, no matter how pitiful other people's children are, they are not as important as the safety of your own flesh and blood!
After passing through Diecuiguan, Wei Changying is now worried about leaving his son to anyone! She had to keep a close eye on it in person! (To be continued)
