That day Sheng Weiqiao talked with the parents of the Shen family before leaving in the evening.
After the breakup, Sheng Lan resigned and asked the steward to arrange accommodation, food and drinks for the Shen family, and she took her daughter to the study room in Chengchuntai to talk: "My dear, since Xiao Qiao has been taken over by Mi Zhen, her life must be safe. Don’t worry too much.”
Sheng Weiqiao nodded tiredly and looked at his expression: "Dad, when did you know about this?"
"Are you doubting dad?" Sheng Lanci frowned and said, "Forget about other things, dad doesn't know how much you care about this matter?! If dad had known about it back then, he would never have agreed. , you must keep that child, lest you forget about it for so many years!"
"I really don't know what the Shen family thinks?" Sheng Weiqiao thought about it. Although her biological father often coaxed her and lied to her, his starting point was always for her own good, and he had been talking about her all these years. No matter how many times Shen Jiuniang went there, Sheng Lanci would never let her niece serve the Ruru royal family.
Sighing, she felt exhausted both physically and mentally. She sat down not far from Sheng Lanci, took a sip of the ginseng tea handed over by Yishan, and whispered, "Even if I need to use a beauty trick on Ruru Khan, Do we need to risk our own girls? Why can they bear it? "
"My dear girl, you don't know, this kind of gifting of beauty to powerful people, especially ordinary powerful people, how can outsiders trust their own girls?" Sheng Lanci patted the back of her daughter's hand comfortingly and explained softly, " After all, their target at that time was Ruru Khan. If they were favored, not to mention being like the Shu sisters of Damu, they would be rich, powerful, and wealthy. Moreover, if the concubines in the harem wanted to be favored, they must consider it. The issue of heirs!”
"After you have your own children, as the saying goes, being a mother makes you strong, and for the sake of your children, you may not be willing to continue to be a chess piece."
"At this time, even if you hold your parents at home, it may not work."
"Only by direct blood and blood, the friendship of getting along for many years, and the use of hard and soft methods, can it be possible to always obey orders."
He added, "Furthermore, after General Zhou left, the family members reacted violently, but in fact they didn't do much substantive things at all... Although your aunt and uncle have told us many secrets, their knowledge is limited." , and secondly, they just came here, so they may not have told everything they know. What are the thoughts and practices of that group of people now... We should wait until Mi Zhen and his party return from the grassland to sort it out!"
After a pause, "Anyway, it's best that Jiuniang is safe."
Sheng Weiqiao was silent for a moment and ordered Yi Shan to leave. Seeing that only the father and daughter were left in the study, he said faintly: "Actually, dad, aunt and uncle just said what they said, and they all said that the Shen family was the great general of Zhou Dynasty. The whole group of people were trying to eradicate Ruru. But I always feel that this situation is not like the actions of the general. After all, the general died so unjustly, even if he left a will and asked for it. Eradicate Ruru, but after seeing what happened to the entire Zhou family, how can our confidants still have the leisure to continue working for the Rong family? It would be great if we don’t trick the Rong family!"
"I do think of Duke Huan. This man left a lot of manpower and plans for Mi Zhen!"
"Although he has left long ago, his legacy... Mi Zhen took over very quickly."
"Huan Gong?" Sheng Lanci was startled and said subconsciously, "Good girl, you... do you doubt Mi Zhen?"
"I don't know." Sheng Weiqiao bit her lip and said, "I don't think Mi Zhen would do this... After all, although he just came to our house back then, he didn't have a deep relationship with us. However, since he still has Thinking of Gongsun Su’s life-saving grace, he treats Gongsun’s family differently, so there is no reason why he can’t see how our family treats him well?”
"No matter how unfamiliar Xiao Qiao is with him, she is your niece after all. He should not and will not trick Xiao Qiao like this."
"But Xiao Qiao's choice, as well as her experience in Ruru over the years... and after Mi Zhen's bloodbath in the king's tent, she took Xiao Qiao to try to return to Damu..."
"It all reminds me of Wuyi Camp."
"Yishan, Yiliu."
"There is also an official lady named Ni Yanying who I met when I was in Western Xinjiang and was recognized by my aunt as a foster daughter. I heard that she was later taken into the Wuyi Camp by Mi Zhen for training, and now she is on her own."
"I think Xiao Qiao..."
She was silent for a moment, and then continued, "The people under Mi Zhen, I don't know if it's because they were born as pirates and have a rebellious nature or something else, but they have acted on their own initiative. For example, when we took him back to Tortoiseshell Island. , force me to take you with you?"
"so… "
"Even if Mi Zhen doesn't intend to take advantage of the situation to plot against Xiao Qiao, his subordinates may not."
"Especially some of the people under him, such as Le Yangwen and Wu Dajia, were all left to him by Duke Huan."
"Who are these people really loyal to? At the critical moment, are they listening to Mi Zhen's orders, or executing some of the plans left by Duke Huan during his lifetime... Mi Zhen told me before that he himself couldn't be sure."
"For example, take the Yong Yibo family who lives in the village outside our city right now!"
"Earlier, because Mi Zhen didn't know that he looked like his biological grandmother, Concubine Mo, she rashly met with County Master Jingshu, so that County Master Jingshu guessed her life experience... Speaking of which, County Master Jingshu is the direct bloodline of Duke Huan, There is no reason to betray Duke Huan's disciples."
"Ke Mi Zhen has always been uneasy about her and has always been wary!"
"It wasn't until a few days ago that he probably got some actual evidence or something, and then he sent word back that Jingshu was trustworthy."
He also remembered that Rong Suihe had talked to him several times about Shen Jiuniang's whereabouts before. At that time, he thought that he was specifically analyzing it to please himself, or that he happened to find some clues and told him by the way.
Now I always feel suspicious, "He told me several times before that Xiao Qiao is probably in the north, and he also gave many reasons. It sounds right to me... But is it his inference that is correct, or he already knows the answer, for To prevent you from suddenly telling me that I can't accept it, I plan to guide you to the truth bit by bit... I don't know anymore?"
Sheng Lanci frowned as he listened to his daughter's confession. To be honest, he had a good impression of Shen Jiuniang, his niece. Before Shen Jiuniang's accident, she often came to Sheng Mansion. Sheng Lanci greeted her with a smile every time he saw her. Peaceful and cheerful.
But because he also has a daughter, and Sheng Weiqiao is still his darling, it would be a lie to say how much he loves and values Shen Jiuniang.
After Shen Jiuniang's accident earlier, he really put in the effort and thought to find her.
I really hope this niece is doing well.
But that was a few years ago.
At that time, the relationship between the first house and Mrs. Ming had not yet experienced the blow of the separation of the second house and Sheng Lanling's murderous grudge.
It had only been a few days since Mrs. Ming made a fuss over Sheng Weide's marriage. Sheng Lanci had not even bridged the gap in her heart towards her biological father, Mrs. Sheng. For Sheng Lanxin, a sister she had not contacted for many years, then... It faded even more.
Although he had taken the initiative to contact the Shen family and inquire about Northern Xinjiang at the request of Mrs. Zhan, the brother and sister had never met each other that time, and they probably still communicated through family-to-family contact.
It can only be said that the relationship between the two families has eased, but the relationship between brother and sister has made little progress.
At this moment, I saw that my daughter actually suspected Rong Suihe because of Shen Jiuniang. Although Sheng Weiqiao was only suspicious of Rong Suihe's subordinates at the moment, he was not very suspicious of Rong Suihe himself. For Sheng Lanci, it was enough to worry. Shen De: "Guainan and Mi Zhen were originally very good, but if there was a dispute over this matter, the couple would be at odds with each other..."
Thinking of this, Sheng Lanci's eyes turned cold, and he immediately covered them up, and said kindly to Sheng Weiqiao: "My dear, are you overthinking? You have already said that the Wuyi Camp under Mi Zhen's control will be different. There are so many girls of all kinds! If he wants to set up a secret agent for Ruru, or be the favorite of the Ruru royal family, does he still need to find Jiuniang? "
"Dad, to put it bluntly, Jiu Niang is pretty, but the maid named Yi Liu, who served you with Yishan earlier, can't you compare to Jiu Niang?"
"Besides, your aunt and uncle have already told you that even they were kept in the dark about this matter. It was the intention of the old man of the Shen family!"
"Although the Shen family is not as wealthy as our Sheng family on the surface, they are still a wealthy family. Otherwise, how could they be qualified to marry your aunt back then?"
"If Mi Zhen has this kind of relationship with the Shen family, why do you think he would accept dad's proposal and enter the Sheng family as his concubine?"
"He can ask Mr. Shen to get him an identity and go ashore, right?"
"... But dad, you have already said that, firstly, we can better control the chess piece of concubine; secondly, the Sheng family is superior to the Shen family in terms of wealth and status, so it would be strange for Mi Zhen not to choose the Sheng family, right?" Sheng Weiqiao frowned upon hearing this. Eyebrow, he asked in confusion.
Sheng Lanci said: "Such a good girl, for Mi Zhen, who is one of us, the Wuyi Camp he brought out by himself, or the people like Mr. Shen who were left behind by Duke Huan?"
"No matter how you think about it, Wuyiying should be more trusted by him, right?"
"As for saying that he entered the Sheng family for their money, this is even more ridiculous."
"Not to mention that he has been plundering for many years, and he already has a lot of savings on hand."
"Let me put it bluntly: If he really wants to make money and scheme against the Gongsun family, he will make more money than marrying you!"
"You must know that the Gongsun family is a family of pirates who have been plundering for four generations. In recent years, they have been stationed on Tortoiseshell Island. In the early years when they were at their peak, they were famous as the Lord of the Sea in the Seven Seas!"
"The family's wealth is definitely better than that of a new family like our Sheng family!"
"Besides, with his background and talent, he has no worries about finding money!"
"The Jiangnan Luo family is a ready example!"
"If he had the choice of the Shen family in this situation, there would be no need to get involved in our family's muddy waters..."
The voice lowered, "After all, your mother's background is not a secret! When Mi Zhen became his father's heir, when did the Feng family and the Xuan Yu family take less action against him? You said that if he had no choice, Why are you so angry? He doesn’t have a good temper to begin with! He’s not the kind of person who accepts everything!”
It took a long time for Sheng Weiqiao to give up his suspicion about Rong Suihe and comfort his daughter to go back to Zhu Ying's small building to rest. Sheng Lanci ignored her own fatigue and went to the back hall to find her wife who was coaxing her grandson. She said with a solemn expression: "Drink. Lu, it’s really not a big deal for my dear girl to be separated from Mi Zhen all the time! If I hadn’t reacted quickly today, she would have suspected that Jiuniang’s wasted years in Ruru was all due to Mi Zhen’s calculations Got it!"
"This is because my dear girl has never been so mean-spirited!"
"Because I haven't been here for many years, I still doubt Mi Zhen like this!"
"What's more, someone like Mi Zhen, who is inherently evil-minded?"
"During this period, who knows if anyone has criticized Guainan in front of him and alienated his feelings for Guainan?!"
Mrs. Feng originally heard that Sheng Weiqiao suspected that Rong Suihe had cheated Shen Jiuniang, but she was still careless. Her husband suggested that Rong Suihe might have heard a lot of instigating words during the separation process, thus alienating his wife. He became solemn: "It is not a good thing for husband and wife to be separated for many years. Who doesn't know this truth? It's just... Mi Zhen is now in the grassland. Even if she escapes by chance, she doesn't know what it will be like! With the current situation in the world, what will happen next? He has to deal with Bing Xuan... Should he ask my good girl to run over now and accompany him through the rain of swords, guns and arrows?!"
