Zhou Jianxian's death caused an uproar among the nobles in the imperial capital!
Previously, Deng Zongqi beat him to death due to the death of his sister. Although the Zhou family was in the wrong at the time, they also held a grudge!
At this time, it was no different than before the fall of the imperial capital. At that time, all families were generally prosperous. Zhou Jianxian had several half-brothers, and even more cousins. Even though he is the eldest son of his clan, he is not the most conspicuous in the clan because he usually doesn't like to stand out.
In addition, the Deng family's family status is no weaker than that of the Zhou family. Zhou Jianxian was caught by the Deng family. The Zhou family must settle the matter and give an explanation to the Deng family.
But now, after experiencing the changes in the imperial capital, every family is withering away. Even if they have added children one after another in the past two years, the children who have just arrived still have to be taken care of. How can they be as useful as adult men
Therefore, even the mediocre children who were previously mediocre, as long as they are older, are put to use at this time, and there is no room for the kind of good things like before that they can live carefree and carefree!
Even someone like Zhang Luoning, who hates worldly things, was forced to take over the Zhang family in Gyeonggi!
In the Xilin Zhou family's sect, after the change in the imperial capital, there were only three people left in Zhou Jianxian's generation, including him!
Above them is an elder of the Zhou family, Mrs. Zhou...
Under such circumstances, one can imagine Zhou Jianxian’s status!
Originally, when Zhou Jianxian explained that he could not help but attack his wife because he suspected Deng Wanwan Hongxing was cheating on her and refused to reveal the adulterer, the Zhou family was a little skeptical. After all, Zhou Jianxian was not a bad-tempered person before, and he and his wife lived in harmony. However, in the past two years, not only has he neglected Deng Wanwan and taken many concubines, but the old lady of the Zhou family has also gradually become bad towards her daughter-in-law...
The most important thing is that the Zhou family is more willing to believe in their own people!
So when the Deng family buried Deng Wanwan, the Zhou family didn't even send any servants over!
This is already a sign of dissatisfaction with the Deng family.
Now that Zhou Jianxian has died - how can the Zhou family bear it
They didn't even wait until the next day. Zhou Jianxian's cousin Zhou Lixian and his concubine Zhou Muxian took their servants with them, called on the clan members, and rushed to Deng's house to seek justice for their brothers!
As much as the Zhou family wanted to believe that Deng Wanwan had done something wrong to her husband, the Deng family believed that Deng Wanwan was unjust!
From the perspective of the Deng family—the Zhou family not only beat their legitimate daughter to death, but also slandered Deng Wanwan after her death, intending to destroy the reputation of the entire Deng family—can such shameless people be accurate in what they say
Yes, Zhou Jianxian is dead now, this is true.
But let’s not talk about him beating Deng Wanwan to death. Deng Zongqi should have beaten him to death to avenge his sister... Why should Deng Zongqi be blamed for his death
Maybe the Zhou family poisoned him to death themselves because they saw the situation was hard to explain!
In other words, there is some kind of brotherly dispute within the Zhou family, and they take advantage of this opportunity to take advantage of it? Anyway, you, the Zhou family, have slandered us, the direct daughters of the Deng family, for being unworthy of women. Why don't we be allowed to suspect that your family has done something poisonous to one of our own? !
So after the Zhou family came to the door, the Deng family refused to give in. The two families did not quarrel for a few words, but blood rushed to their heads and started fighting. At this time, the fighting was not as good as before. After experiencing the war, plus the Rong people occupying Yan At this time, all servants in the imperial capital were patrolling the house with real swords and guns.
After such a fight, not to mention the plight of the Deng family house, more than a dozen servants from both sides died. Although the Deng and Zhou families did not appear to be dead, there were two or three serious injuries, and even more minor injuries. too much!
Because the city gates were closed at night, according to the agreement of all parties, except for a small number of forbidden troops - the group formed by Huo Zhaoyu - no troops were left in the city.
Because the fight between the two families was too fierce, after receiving the news, Huo Zhaoyu personally brought two forbidden troops to break up the fight. However, both families seemed to have a life-and-death feud at this time, and they were all red-eyed. How could they recognize anyone next to them? Huo Zhaoyu was almost beaten!
The imperial troops he brought over didn't care about provoking a fight, and could only focus on protecting him first.
In the end, Huo Zhaoyu had no choice but to ask Shen Zangfeng for help, and Shen Zangfeng sent his deputy general to arrive with the servants of the Ding Palace—these servants were actually elite soldiers—and then the situation was brought under control.
But at this time, bad news came from the Zhou family again... The old lady of the Zhou family also went!
"What's all this?" Wei Changying spent the night at Duanmu Xinmiao's place. After returning to the palace, he didn't even have time to go to the inner room. He went to the study first. He sighed all the way. After sitting down in front of his husband, he He said depressedly, "I just told Xin Miao to go to the Zhou family early this morning to show Mrs. Zhou a look, and to give her a set of words... but she disappeared first!"
"There is warm rose water on the table over there. Don't drink cold drinks in the morning. If you are thirsty, drink that." Shen Zangfeng said while approving the official document, "Xinmiao is willful this time. She just doesn't want to Treating the Zhou family, to put it mildly, the Zhou family must hate her now!"
Wei Changying complained: "It's more delicious to drink it after drinking it... How about taking a dip in the well? It's still a bit hot now!"
"You've been thinking about cool things for the past two days." Shen Zangfeng glanced at her, "Don't you think about it anymore? Do you still remember that in the past few days last month, just for a cup of snow drink, you were in so much pain? She was tossing and turning on the couch, so angry that Aunt Huang turned livid? She was coaxing Xie'er to exercise restraint every day, you mother-in-law..."
"If you don't tell him, how will he know?" Wei Changying suddenly felt guilty and spat, "You taught Guang'er, couldn't you have accomplished what Guang'er was asked to do?"
Shen Zangfeng smiled: "I actually did everything I asked him to do."
"How dare you talk back? You're just asking for a fight!" Wei Changying scolded him for a few times, then went to make a cup of the warmed rose water and drink it, then repeated what he had just said, "I also said that Xin Miao is It’s troublesome, what do you think she said?”
Shen Zangfeng asked with a smile: "What should I say? Are you here as my adopted sister-in-law?"
"Wrong, what she said is that you sworn brothers are here anyway!" Wei Changying said with a smile, "So do you think this is her trouble? In the end, it must be your trouble?"
Shen Zangfeng raised his head and glanced at her with a half-smile: "Why are you gloating? Isn't my trouble your trouble? We are one husband and wife... and you still laugh at me?"
"How about just laughing at you?" Wei Changying raised his pink fist at him, then suddenly suppressed his smile and frowned, "This is really weird. Is there really someone outside Deng Wanwan? But I asked Xin Miao , Rou Zhang, these people say it’s impossible! According to what I’ve seen of her before, she doesn’t seem like someone who would do such a thing…”
Shen Zangfeng said: "I don't know if there is someone outside. But if you are wondering why the relationship between Zhou Jianxian and her has deteriorated, I can tell you something."
Wei Changying was surprised: "How do you know the private affairs of their husband and wife?!"
"Where did you think you were?" Shen Zangfeng cursed with a smile before explaining, "After Yuwu returned to Qingzhou by sea, he also gave up this world war! Before he boarded the ship, he wrote letters of recommendation to several of his subordinates , and sent them to the Central Plains to choose someone to join them! However, Xiangzhi, who returned to the imperial capital on his own after being separated from him earlier, was not among them. But I hoped to recruit Xiangzhi, and I wrote a letter to Yu Wu last year, and he agreed that Xiangzhi would come to help me. , so I wrote a letter to persuade Xiangzhi... but Xiangzhi always refused, although I roughly... "
At this point, a trace of weirdness flashed across his face. After a pause, he said nonchalantly, "Who doesn't know that Xiangzhi loves his sister the most? Someone under me wants to accomplish this for me, and that person will start from him. My sister took it, but she found out about the quarrel between the Zhou family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law... After the report was made, you were not around at that time, so I didn't have a suitable female relative here to bring it up... I couldn't let me say it myself, so I pressed it. .
"Of course it's also because of the affairs in the backyard. Outsiders didn't know much about it. They only knew that the old lady of the Zhou family was not very satisfied with Xiangzhi's sister. She didn't know that the matter was serious enough to take action. She thought it was just an ordinary mother-in-law who didn't like her daughter-in-law. Otherwise, she didn't know that the matter was serious enough to take action. It’s impossible for me to watch Xiangzhi, a legitimate sister who was raised by me, die at such a young age!”
Speaking of this, Shen Zangfeng also sighed.
What he didn't tell Wei Changying was that after Deng Wanwan died, he immediately sent "Jili" to find out how Shen Zangning, Su Yuli and Su Yufei, his direct sisters and cousins, were doing at their husband's house. Have you ever been given trouble by your elders or mistreated by your husband
He is just worried that his remaining sisters, like Deng Wanwan, will report good news but not bad news to their parents' family. When something big happens in the future, it will be too late for her parents' parents to protect her!
Fortunately, according to the current reports, these three sisters are doing well.
Wei Changying frowned and said: "I thought the old lady of the Zhou family changed her attitude towards Wanwan because she heard Zhou Jianxian say in private that there was someone outside Wanwan."
"It's because that year when the imperial capital fell, Xiangzhi rushed into the Zhou family and took his sister away." Shen Zangfeng said, "The Zhou family decided that Xiangzhi's sister was not among the people who entered the secret room. At that time, the old lady of the Zhou family was about to look at Xiangzhi's sister. After drinking poison, Xiangzhi knocked down the poison and dragged him out. Xiang Zhiyue witnessed the scene of his sister being forced to drink poison. He couldn't suppress his anger and said some harsh words to Mrs. Zhou's mother-in-law. By the way, although both of them are safe, the old lady of the Zhou family has feelings for her daughter-in-law. "
Wei Changying couldn't help frowning: "The old lady of the Zhou family is making no sense this time! Back then, my mother..." Thinking of Madam Su, the couple felt sad.
After a long while, Shen Zangfeng smiled lightly and said, "Xiangzhi's sister is different from you. She has no power to restrain a chicken and is very likely to be lost in the chaos. The old lady of the Zhou family is also afraid of her. It has brought shame on the Zhou family, and what Xiangzhi said in anger may have been too harsh..."
"My little skills have never been seen in the world before, and I thought I was very powerful." Wei Changying shook his head, "It wasn't until I saw a real fight that I realized that the dangers I encountered before were not worth mentioning... I was When I left with Rou Zhang and the others, did I not know what my mother’s experience was like? She just felt sorry for me, so..."
"Not necessarily." Shen Zangfeng touched her temples and suddenly said, "Why doesn't my mother feel sorry for me, Guang'er, and Xie'er?"
Wei Changying felt sweet in his heart: "I have never seen a better mother-in-law than my mother!"
The two talked about their own family affairs for a few words, and then continued to talk about the Zhou family -
"In that case, it is possible that Zhou Jianxian slandered Wanwan because he hated Xiangzhi and took Wanwan away at that time?" Wei Changying pondered, "However, if it was for this reason, I can't figure out why Wanwan refused to tell him The Deng family, especially after Xiangzhi returns to the imperial capital!"
Shen Zangfeng said: "I'm afraid it's hard for outsiders to know about this, but the few who knew about it are gone now."
"...How to resolve the affairs of the Deng family and the Zhou family now? The death of the old lady of the Zhou family is like adding fuel to the fire. It seems that both families now regard each other as life and death enemies, right?" Wei Changying still can't reach a conclusion on this issue. , simply put it aside and said, "Can Huo Jiayao be able to hold up the situation? If he can't hold back, you will have to come when the time comes?"
Just as Shen Zangfeng was about to answer the call, a servant came from outside to report: "General Deng wants to see you!" (To be continued)
