Because of this incident, Wei Changying's visit to the Su family was postponed again.
When it was time for Qiu Baoniang to leave the palace, she was waiting outside the palace early.
When they reached a secluded place, Qiu Baoniang did not hesitate and said directly: "The queen intends to seize the heirloom and is interested in the reputation of the Wei family in Fengzhou, so she wants to marry Princess Xian'an to your brother!"
Wei Changying frowned and said, "Why did the queen suddenly have such thoughts?"
"Why should I mess around if she can't afford it?" Qiu Baoniang sneered and said, "Do you know? Liu Ruowu has made a great contribution this time!"
Seeing the guard chief Ying raise his eyebrows in surprise, Qiu Baoniang's face darkened and said, "Liu Ruowo blocked an arrow for your majesty! He narrowly escaped death... His majesty made him the Duke of Jing on the spot and ordered someone to escort him to Fengzhou for medical treatment!" In a day or two, you will also receive this news. "Ji Qubing is currently protecting Xinyong's life in Fengzhou.
"Duke Jingguo?" Wei Changying also felt his heart sinking and murmured, "Although he has not been crowned king, the title of Duke is not trivial... What about Liu Shili?"
Qiu Baoniang said lightly: "I didn't mention it! So you tell me, do I still have hope in this dynasty? When Liu Ruowo didn't have a title, I calculated that he would have to work so hard! It was so easy to use Lu Guogong's silly daughter to see It’s time to trick him into a duke—he is also a duke! How can he, even a relative of your majesty, compete with the Liu family if he has so little background?”
She gritted her teeth and said, "I finally understand! Conspiracies and tricks are just nonsense! I want revenge, and I want to rely on tricks to plot Liu Ruowo and Liu Ruoye, but they are all false! Only by assisting Queen Qiu to become the Queen Mother, the eldest prince Ascension to the throne - the imperial power is stronger than that of the nobles, and I can take revenge happily by relying on the power of the imperial power!"
Wei Changying was stunned for a moment and then said: "I do hope that the eldest prince will ascend the throne, but this is no small matter."
"I never thought about dragging you into the water now!" Qiu Baoniang rolled her eyes and said, "Because of Wei Xinyong, the Wei family in Fengzhou is the most famous now. And because of Wei Xinyong's face, the children of the Wei family Even if there is something illegal, Your Majesty must be more tolerant - the queen still loves Princess Xian'an. She is thinking of marrying Princess Xian'an to your brother. Even if things don't work out in the future, maybe Princess Xian'an can escape the disaster by relying on her husband's family. ?”
"But why does Changfeng want to be the master?" Wei Changying rubbed his forehead and said, "Xian'an... has a good temperament, but he is not suitable for my brother, right? You know that Changfeng will take over Ruiyu Hall in the future Yes, his wife must be a daughter of a noble family."
Qiu Baoniang said: "The distant relative the Queen mentioned is true. Your brother's marriage has never been smooth. I think Princess Xian'an might be better off. Princess Xian'an came from a humble background and was displaced several times. , although I am currently unable to have children, everything else is fine... "
"Okay, okay, okay!" Wei Changying looked unhappy, "You'd better tell the queen not to think about this matter. How can my mistress of the Wei family be a new princess whose inkstone can't even recognize her?!" My brother is about to renew his marriage, what you said is so unlucky!
Qiu Baoniang said: "Okay, let's not talk about this - you have met Mrs. Hu, right? It is said that she died violently."
"..." Wei Changying sighed and said sadly, "I can't help myself!" In fact, when Mrs. Hu told her the whole story, Wei Changying tried not to kill her several times - after all, Mr. Hu knew these secrets, but never did. To tell the truth, even if Shen Bao was insulted and sent to the classroom, she did not use it to exchange for better treatment for Shen Bao.
This time I had no choice but to tell Wei Changying, and it was just to ask for a promise.
It can be seen that Mr. Hu knows very well in his heart: if he has no strength to protect himself, he rashly comes up with an excuse, which is courting death!
But Mrs. Hu mentioned the red moles on Song Zaishui’s shoulders and Shen Bao’s shoulders!
Compared to what she told about Wei Chanying's humiliation - this happened many years ago, and there is no evidence for it!
But not so with this one!
You can confirm it just by looking over their shoulders!
Even if Mrs. Hu won't tell it herself - her silence before has proved this, but now she is forced to tell Wei Changying due to the situation, will she tell others in the future
So if you can't get Mrs. Hu in front of you, you have to keep an eye on it - because Mrs. Hu asked herself to serve Shen Bao, it might be possible that Wei Chang Ying really wanted to take her out of the classroom, but how to explain it? How much trouble will it cause
Since someone who knows such a secret cannot stay by her side, of course she can only shut up forever to protect the secret...
Even though Wei Changying was extremely reluctant to do so.
When asked by Qiu Baoniang at this moment, I couldn't help but feel complicated.
Qiu Baoniang didn't care, and said: "As long as you asked... Well, by the way, there is another news, which may be good for you."
"What?"
"It is said that His Majesty intends to confer a title on Ji Qubing." Qiu Baoniang said, "Your adopted daughter is his niece. I think you will be happy to hear it, right? But not many people know this news so far. Liu Rong told the Queen— Don't tell me yet, otherwise His Majesty might change your mind if he finds out."
Wei Changying said unexpectedly: "That's really good. Not to mention Doctor Ji's medical skills, just his generosity during the epidemic, he is worthy of a title!"
What she was thinking about was Ji Qubing's amazing medical skills. Although he was now over 60 years old, because he was good at maintaining his health, he might not have any problem living for another ten or twenty years - but Ji Qubing, the Wei family, and the Shen family The relationship is known to all the world.
It seems that Wen Yaozi also wants to win over this famous doctor.
Also, with his current status, he is naturally afraid of death.
With Ji Qubing's medical skills, he could cure people as well as kill people. If he didn't win over him as one of his own, how could Wen Yaozi trust him to diagnose and treat her
Now there is a national player who cannot seek medical treatment. If he encounters a serious illness in the future... It would not be surprising if Wen Yaozi comes out with a title.
After breaking up with Qiu Baoniang, Wei Changying returned home and ordered Wei Changfeng to come. He described Gu Sisi's appearance and said, "She is a delicate person, but I have never dealt with her temperament, but Gu Ziyang has always been a steady person. , I shouldn’t lie to you on such a big matter.”
Wei Changfeng thought for a moment and said: "Now that I am alone in the imperial capital, I can only entrust the household affairs to the housekeeper. After all, it is not a long-term solution! Besides, Xiu'er is still young and cannot live without her mother. Since eldest sister, you said that this Miss Gu family has good looks, then I wrote to my parents and asked them to write so that I could propose marriage.”
Wei Changying nodded: "That's very good. Your problem is over, and I have to let go of my worries." The two siblings talked about family affairs again, and Wei Changfeng stayed in Shen Mansion for dinner, and then went back. .
The next day, Guard Chief Ying finally took the time to arrive at the Su Mansion. It was already approaching the end of the year, and the Su Mansion was covered with snow and filled with a heavy atmosphere.
Song Zaishui stayed in the house as usual and did not show up. Shen Shuyan and Ji Yiren went to the door to greet him. Wei Changying asked them: "Where are Feiyu and Chiyu?"
Shen Shuyan said: "They also want to come to greet aunt, but it's cold, so Yiren and I persuade them to stay in the house."
"That's how it should be." Wei Changying nodded and asked Song Zaishui, "How are you these days?"
"Feiyu cried a lot in front of the bed last time. My cousin is feeling better now, but she still can't get up from the bed and doesn't like seeing people." Shen Shuyan said, "Feiyu cries almost every day!"
Wei Changying sighed and touched her head: "You go and accompany Feiyu and the others. I'll go see your cousin."
Song Zaishui's house has not changed much from the last time she came here, that is, the chrysanthemums in the vase have been replaced by seasonal plum blossoms.
"Cousin, I'm here again." After dismissing the servants waiting in the room, Wei Changying unceremoniously pulled up the curtain and shouted, "Why don't you get up and entertain me?!"
Song was lying in the water, too lazy to pay attention to her.
Wei Changying rolled up her sleeves - she came prepared today and specially wore a jacket with narrow sleeves for easy movement. At this moment, with a strong effort, Song Zaishui was dragged to sit up with the brocade quilt!
Song Zaishui could no longer hold back and shouted angrily: "Why are you so crazy?!"
"I've heard about what's bothering you, and I'm here to explain it to you clearly -" Wei Changying sneered, "You've been huddled on the bed, how can you ask me to stand here and talk to your back?! With you? Are you treating guests like this? What’s wrong with my cousin? I’m so disrespectful for no reason. Do you deserve to be ignored?”
Song Zaishui's face changed drastically when he heard her say, "I've heard about what's bothering you!" Then he smiled to himself and said calmly: "Now that you know everything - do you still want to do this?"
"Are you still afraid that I'm deceiving you?" Wei Changying said coldly, "Don't you think you are not a member of the Song family?! Last time, when you were annoyed with me, what you were used to saying was, 'Don't think you are "She's my cousin, so I'm afraid of you", but I want to say "Don't think you are Miss Wei" - it's really ridiculous! I am Miss Wei, and you are still Miss Song! Why should you be afraid of me based on your identity? ! Don’t you feel awkward saying this yourself?”
Song Zaishui was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile and a cry: "So I asked you to see the flaws here? Alas, I was wrong. I always remember how you were so careless when you were a teenager. How could you be so careful? However, after more than ten years, Years have passed, how could you not change at all?”
She raised her sleeves to cover her face and said, "But since you have heard all this, don't you know that I am actually not your cousin at all?! What's wrong with me saying this?!"
"The former Wei palace person you asked about told you that you are not my cousin?" Wei Changying saw that she had no intention of getting up, so he simply moved an embroidery stool to the side, sat down, and said, "You were deceived. Do you know?"
Song Zaishui still covered his face and said sadly: "I know you can make mistakes if you want. After all, after all these years, not only I have always thought that I am the daughter of the Song family, but also the eldest and second brothers, and my husband... But, I am obviously not!" "
"The person I asked about was a confidant of the previously deposed Gu family!" Wei Changying said solemnly, "Is the identity of the person you are looking for from the former Wei palace as important as this person? Does he know as many secrets as this person? !”
Song Zaishui was stunned and said, "Say it!"
After just a few words, Song Zaishui, who had been tired of eating and sluggish for many days, was willing to listen - obviously, she also hoped that she was a descendant of the Song family! (To be continued)
