When Deng Zongqi came to the door at this time, Shen Zangfeng and Wei Changying were a little surprised, but then they thought about whether they came to ask for help for the Zhou family's matter
Wei Changying said: "Xiangzhi and I have met before. Now that he is here, it may involve Wanwan. I will stay with you to ask questions."
She thought this should be no problem. Not long after she came here, didn't Shen Zangfeng ask her to entertain guests when he brought them back? Even if the male guests came alone, like Zhang Luoning's time, Shen Zangfeng had no intention of letting her avoid them.
But Shen Zangfeng's eyes flickered for a moment, but he shook his head: "You spent the night at our adopted sister's place last night. I guess you spent the whole night talking to Xin Miao and didn't get any rest? You go and take a nap. Wait a minute." Let me tell you Xiangzhi’s purpose.”
Wei Changying thinks why bother? He stepped forward and hugged his arm: "I'm not sleepy right now. What's going on here?"
"You think Xiangzhi has always doted on his sister the most. Now that he's here, he might cry when he talks about something sad. How can he not feel embarrassed when there are so many people around?" Shen Zangfeng smiled and patted the back of her hand, "He Why bother to make things difficult for him when he has just suffered such pain?"
Wei Changying thought about it, so he had to remind him again and again: "Then remember it! You must tell me later!"
She went back and asked Lianmei, who stayed at home last night, if all the household chores had been taken care of today
Lianmei said, "Aunt Huang and Aunt He took over and gave the orders." He asked her again, "Do you want the two aunts to come over?"
"No need." Wei Changying shook his head. Why should she be worried about the two old people Huang and He doing things
Seeing that she had nothing to worry about, she decided to take a nap as Shen Zangfeng said.
As a result, another visitor came to the door at this time: "Miss Su's cousin is here."
Wei Changying hurriedly asked: "Is it Yu Fei?"
She thought that she had just visited Su Yuli yesterday, and it was not convenient for Su Yuli to go out in person now.
Sure enough, the servant said: "Exactly."
"Please come in quickly!" Wei Changying turned around and went back to the room, hurriedly changed into a suit and skirt, and after waiting for a while, Su Yufei came in.
After not seeing each other for several years, this third cousin of Su, who used to be lively and almost mischievous, has become much more stable. She wears a light green jacket with wide sleeves embroidered with peony lotus patterns, a jade belt around her waist, and a ethereal fairy skirt. Her arms are draped in a flower bouquet, her bun is tied with two swords, and it is decorated with pearls and emeralds. Her skirt does not expose her feet when she walks.
Her figure was plumper than when she was a girl, but not to the point of gaining weight, and her whole body looked round and round. The voice he spoke in had not changed much from a few years ago. It was still as sweet as the clear and crisp jade beads falling on the gold plate: "I heard that my third cousin sister-in-law was coming a few days ago, but something happened at home, and I just can't get away! I delayed coming to see you until today!”
"We are all members of our own family, why should we be so polite?" Wei Changying pulled her up, and the two of them exchanged greetings and sat down. Wei Changying asked again with concern, "What happened at home? How are you doing now?"
Su Yufei sighed: "Two days ago, Ming'er was playing in the garden and accidentally fell down! Fortunately, Huitong was by and fished him out in time. But the servants came to rescue Ming'er who was drowning and unconscious, but no one came to rescue him. I pulled Huitong hard! Huitong choked a lot and almost died... so I took care of her personally for two days. "
The "Ming'er" she was talking about was her eldest son Duanmu Ziming, the child who was led by Duanmu Wuyou out of the siege during the uprising in the imperial capital. As for Duanmu Huitong, she was her husband's niece. When she was in Yuzhu Town earlier, Wei Changying sent someone to take care of her for a few days.
"Such a thing could happen?" Wei Changying couldn't help but be moved, "My servant, this is too careless!" She also thought of the things Duanmu Xinmiao told about the Splendid Duanmu when she and Duanmu Xinmiao were lying on the same bed last night. , couldn't help but frown slightly, glanced at both sides, and after asking the servants to exit, he asked directly, "Ming'er is your only male heir now! I'm afraid it wasn't just Ming'er who was careless when he fell into the water this time? Since there was a Why did Hui Tong need to go into the water to rescue Ming'er, and no one rescued Hui Tong in time afterward? "
Su Yufei laughed at himself: "Third cousin, you are right... Earlier, who would have thought that my husband would take over the Jinxiu Hall? In fact, he was not willing to do so. His temper is the most impatient to deal with some tribesmen. But now This sect is the closest to him, so if you want to leave, you can’t rest assured! But I didn’t expect them to attack the child so soon!”
Wei Changying frowned and said: "Since you know this, why do you still go out? I'm here, why don't I still see you? Besides, why don't you bring the children with you when you come here?"
"Both children are a bit cold now, so it's hard to go out." Su Yufei smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, I didn't just come here to visit my third cousin... I also have something to ask you for a favor. !”
Wei Changying said hurriedly: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
"There is a family member in the clan who gave their adopted daughter to Wen Yaozi as a concubine." Su Yufei sighed and said, "I suspect that they were responsible for Ming'er and Huitong."
"This matter..." Wei Changying nodded, "What do you want to do?"
"There is no evidence on the surface, what else can we do?" Su Yufei smiled bitterly, "But now we don't have much manpower..."
Wei Changying pondered: "If this kind of thing is done well, it actually doesn't necessarily require too many manpower."
"I don't want to interfere with the things ahead. I just hope that the children I raise will do well." Su Yufei bit her lip and said, "I also respected them very much in the past, even... My husband took over Jinxiu Duanmu's After taking the throne, I have not been disrespectful. You know my temper, and I am really very patient - I know that our sect has a false reputation now, and there is such a large group of people on the side. How can we, husband and wife, plus the eldest sister and the eighth sister, cope with it? Have to come? But... they..."
"Let me help you with this matter." Wei Changying narrowed his eyes, "Who doesn't have a few ruthless relatives? Don't be too sad, this kind of thing... I'll put it harshly, there are too many of them. It’s always inevitable, whether I’m at my mother’s house or my husband’s house, I’ve seen it before. That’s because my grandfather and the others are all there, so you don’t even know.”
Su Yufei breathed a sigh of relief and was about to say thanks.
Wei Changying asked, "The adopted daughter you mentioned was promised to Wen Yaozi... Can you tell me about this now? If you are in a hurry, it will be fine next time."
"There's no need to rush this for a while. You know I live outside the city." Su Yufei said hurriedly, "How urgent can we be to do this again and again?"
He told her in detail, "That is a relatively prosperous branch of the branch. The person who calls the shots now is Duanmu Pingzhong. In terms of seniority, my husband and I have to call him 'uncle'. But he is actually not very old. Now in his early forties, he is in the prime of life... When the Grand Master was still there, he had great trust in him, so after the Grand Master left, he always thought that he should take over the Jinxiu Hall. To be honest, if it weren't for the insistence of several clan elders. Since there are still people in the sect, the position of clan leader can only be passed down in this sect, and my husband himself agrees that he should take charge of Jinxiu Hall."
Wei Changying nodded: "Then what?"
"My husband suddenly took on a heavy responsibility and didn't know how to get it? Thinking that Duanmu Pingzhong had a high status in the clan before, I asked him for help as a lowly person. Naturally, he refused. What did he say? She is not in good health and is getting old..." Su Yufei sighed, "Then he sent his adopted daughter, named Shan, with a good list, to Panzhou, and promised to be Wen Yaozi's concubine - oh, now She’s one of the concubines!”
"..." Wei Changying thought for a while and asked, "He sent this order to Panzhou and promised it to Wen Yaozi. How did you do it?"
"Can we still put people in the third cousin's backyard?" Su Yufei joked, a little sadly, "This Duanmu Pingzhong, nominally doesn't care about anything, but secretly instructs his confidants to firmly control the family power! Although there are several clan elders who support my husband because of the kindness of the old master, I can’t say that I am lying to you, my third cousin. I’ve been careless since I was a child! Duanmu Pingzhong wanted this Jinxiu Hall very much, but my husband and I found it very hot. To be honest, we had discussed it privately before and talked about how to persuade the clan elders to get rid of this clan leader. Give up the position to Duanmu Pingzhong, right? But now he has his hands on Ming'er. If we give it up to him, he might get rid of us, so that he can appease this kind of person..."
She shook her head, and a hint of cruelty flashed across her still sweet face, "At this point, we can only keep fighting!"
Chief Wei Ying smiled lightly and said: "Don't underestimate yourselves too much! There are many children from the Duanmu family's side branches. Is it true that only Duanmu Pingzhong and his confidants can do things? Anyway, you and your wife don't have many people at your disposal right now, so you might as well take advantage of them." Come out! The third cousin-in-law can be ousted as the lord, but Duanmu Pingzhong can't? If he can really dominate the clan, how can he not be able to ascend to the position of lord despite the opposition of several clan elders?"
Su Yufei said: "The people in front of my husband also said the same thing, but - this kind of thing is not difficult for those who know it, but not for those who don't. My husband and I were both careless people in the past, thinking that relying on the family's protection, we could live like this." We have lived a life of wealth and wealth! Who would have thought that there would be a day when we would have to worry so much about it?”
I felt a little embarrassed when I said this, "I'm afraid my third cousin sister-in-law has also been..."
Didn't Wei Changying just say that she had seen those ignorant people in her husband's family
Wei Changying had no intention of going into details, and just smiled lightly and said: "Xiliang was really lively in the past two years, but now it is much quieter. Things like heading the family are always hectic at the beginning. But it will become easier later on. —No one can do anything right away. But it’s better to get rid of Duanmu Pingzhong as soon as possible. He reached out to the backyard so quickly... If we don’t get rid of this kind of person, who can rest in peace in the future?” (To be continued? )
