Seeing Juli's mouth wide open in shock, Sheng Weiqiao pinched his forehead, sneered, and continued: "And... I didn't say before that Meng Junyu is the eldest son of Prince Wu'an, so I asked my brother to get it in the spring. If he has a good ranking, will he betroth his sister to him?"
"With my brother's talent and the financial resources of his prosperous family, it is not difficult to marry the granddaughter of a prince. Not to mention other families, just talking about our Meng family, there are quite a few girls of marriageable age!"
"Even if Meng Junyu lives in the second room of the Meng family, his twelfth aunt Meng Liyi is still very much in love with her!"
"The family of the Prince of Wu'an have been very proud of themselves in front of Marquis Wu'an in recent years. If my brother really achieves a good ranking in the Spring Festival, then the people who want to recruit him as his son-in-law may not be the Meng family. Even if he is not the Meng family, my brother will." You may not want to be his brother-in-law!"
"but… "
"If Gao Chengxuan violated the Queen Mother's instructions and killed them by mistake, but Meng Junyu 'accidentally' saved them, I said, wouldn't the Sheng family repay him?!"
Sheng Weiqiao said in a deep voice, "So why doesn't he rush back immediately and take his eighth sister, Yingjiang, to stay at Ningweihou's Mansion for safety? What if it's too late and someone gets involved first, and Ping Hong is unreasonable? Yes, don’t we just ask to be dragged into the water?!”
...Although Xu Zijing and his wife begged softly for a long time after they were kicked out of Ningwei Hou Mansion, they refused to move back. It was really embarrassing to think of them immediately when they encountered danger, but Sheng Weiqiao had nothing to do.
After all, the confinement period for their group to come to Chang'an was too short. Although they didn't know the Xu family, it was the Marquis Mansion that was suitable to accommodate them and provide them with shelter.
After all, people like Tu Ruchuan had to go there to avoid disasters and failed to do so, which caused trouble to others... After all, Tu Ruchuan just had a long history as an eldest princess!
Xu Zijing is a marquis after all. Attacking the marquis' mansion and breaking into a house that is not qualified to be a marquis to commit murder are two different concepts!
Moreover, the guards of Ningwei Hou Mansion were all Xu Zijing's personal soldiers. In terms of strength, they were most likely to be in the wrong legs of ordinary vicious men... At such a critical moment, Sheng Weiqiao didn't care about losing face!
... She is not stupid enough to lose face and put herself, Sheng Weiwu and Gongsun Yingjiang in danger!
Ningweihou Mansion, backyard.
As soon as Xu Caikui came back, she went to see her mother Nan. Without waiting for Nan to ask, she hinted that the place should be cleared, and then said, "Princess Qingfang seems to have taken a liking to Sister Wei Qiao for her brother, the young prince who has been crippled and his appearance is ruined." things.
Nan's expression changed when he heard this: "How could such a thing happen?! That Gaomi Palace is so deceptive!!!"
"Sister Shi was suspicious, so she asked him to tell her without asking, so as not to cause misunderstanding, which would not only embarrass her, but also offend the Gaomi Palace." Xu Caikui saw how strong her reaction was and even went to comfort her.
After hearing this, the Nan family became even more excited. She patted the case and said, "What suspicion! He thinks that it is 80% true! I don't even want to think about it. The young prince who Rong Qingzui said about the Gaomi Palace has a distinguished status." , Could it be that when he was doing well before, although he was the second son and could not inherit the title of King Gaomi, but with the help of King Gaomi, his family was not an ordinary family, even if he had no fame, he could only work part-time. Yes, we can share some of the family property and the princess’s dowry in the future, so we don’t have to worry about the livelihood of the Gaomi King and his wife after they are gone!”
"Is it possible that now he is crippled and his appearance is ruined? What can he do in the future?!"
"If he is not the eldest son, he will definitely not get a big share of the Gaomi Palace's property!"
"As for Princess Gaomi's dowry, it is said that since Princess Gaomi fell seriously ill that year and has no longer been around, she has been estranged from her biological children, so the prince and Princess Qingfang are particularly concerned about it."
"So there's a good chance he won't be able to get a few items from his biological mother's dowry!"
"So now he can rely on the kindness of his elders to support him. In the future, when all the elders are gone, what should he do?"
"Is it possible that he can't raise a sister who has a brother who has already left the government?"
"If a brother like him from the same mother really wants to take full responsibility, it can't be as simple as adding a pair of chopsticks! Not to mention the food, clothing and chewing throughout the year, the clothes and accessories in the four seasons, the legs of the people who serve, and the pomp and circumstance of going in and out. ...If it's a little worse, then if you have good intentions, you will be treated like a donkey, and Ping Hong will teach others to talk about your own harsh brother!"
"As for his injury, it is said that he is not in good condition now, right? He may continue to take medicine in the future. With his status, are the medicinal materials used bad?"
"At that time, the money for the medicine alone will be very high in the future, and the long-term treatment may not be cured, and it will be very expensive to study the Wuyang Princess Palace and seek medical advice from the Marquis of Yichun... No matter how generous my sister-in-law, brother-in-law, and brother-in-law are, I'm afraid they won't be able to bear it!"
"After all, they have children to look after, okay?!"
Nan gritted his teeth and said, "No, I'm not going to tell you that when Qiao Er and He'er went out to look at the house, they met Princess Qingfang. Although they didn't buy the house, they paid her a greeting?"
"Perhaps because the house they were looking at was extraordinarily expensive, Princess Qingfang became aware of the Sheng family's net worth. So, when she inquired: If the Sheng family is Ruming, my uncle, Sheng Nanfeng, is the master of the family in that life. Bo Bufu is the first wife to be the eldest son, so he will naturally get the richest share when the family is divided!"
"Although my uncle, my uncle, is good at business, he has very few children. He only has one son and one daughter. I am particularly fond of Qiao Er, my first wife's legitimate daughter?!"
"In this case, even a fool can imagine that Qiaoer's future dowry will definitely be extraordinary!"
"If I marry Qiao Er for that Rong Qingzui, not only will the Gaomi Palace no longer have to worry about Rong Qingzui's future expenses, but my uncle, who is very promising, will have to deal with that cripple's diagnosis and treatment. Toil... Did their Gaomi Palace really have a good idea!"
"Marrying a daughter-in-law who is pampered by her father and brother and valued by her mother's family can easily get rid of this heavy and troublesome burden!!!"
"I have pity on that child Qiaoer. He has to suffer such grievances for whoever he offends. He will be tricked for the rest of his life!!!"
Speaking of the last sentence, Nan gritted his teeth, as if the Gaomi Palace's conspiracy had succeeded and Sheng Weiqiao had become Rong Qingzui's wife...
Xu Caikui was dumbfounded: "..."
After a long time, he came back to his senses and said calmly, "Mom... then... is that true?!"
"It's 80% correct!" Nan said with a calm face, "I'll follow Qiao'er's instructions about that matter first and never spread it out! Then, when my father comes back from the office tomorrow, we will make a good plan with him. Ichiban!"
Thinking about the power of Prince Gaomi, he gritted his teeth and said, "Although my brother doesn't live up to expectations and is not worthy of being a good boy like Qiao Er, but... if there is really no other way, we can let him bear the burden first, and just blame him and Qiao Er. My son has already agreed to get married, so I can teach the Gaomi Palace to give up!"
Sighing, "When the news is over, let my brother do something outrageous, so that the Sheng family can cancel the engagement... Anyway, that little brat is thinking about fooling around all day long, so it's not a good thing at all!"
Xu Caikui: “……………”
Although she and Xu Baomo had not met for long, they were, after all, biological brothers and sisters from the same father and mother. Xu Baomo, except that he couldn't control himself when it came to women and was particularly hateful, was actually not good in other aspects. of.
The two sisters are both good. Xu Caikui is getting married recently. He persuaded his parents very hard and gave Xu Caikui a set of precious jewelry that he originally planned to leave to the daughter-in-law of the Xu family.
So Xu Caikui mistakenly thought that her brother was very affectionate, and then she carefully replied, "Mom, it's not good to mistake him that way, right? What if someone believed that his brother was such a person? Who would be willing to treat a girl like that?" Are you betrothed to your eldest brother?"
"It's best if no one marries him!!!" However, when Nan heard this, he said angrily, "With his virtuous nature of always messing around with women, he would not give birth to ten or eight illegitimate children before marrying his daughter-in-law. When his daughter ran over and hugged his legs and called "Grandma", he was so grateful! The old Xu family is such a serious, clean and prosperous family. My grandfather, my father, including my father-in-law, all of them are clean and comfortable. If you don’t mess up, you will stay with your married wife for the rest of your life?!”
"He just relies on my grandparents' favor and does all kinds of things at a young age... Does that really mean that my grandparents are old and the younger generation who are separated from each other are so ruthless? Is this behavior possible when he and I I grew up with my father, if I had not changed my ways, I would have been beaten to death long ago!!!"
"Such a thing, when it comes to marrying a wife, he doesn't feel guilty. He and my father both feel guilty for him!"
"What if my daughter-in-law discovers his true identity when she comes in in the future? Don't you think that the old Xu family is cheating on the marriage?!"
"Knowing what kind of thing that thing was, he coaxed a nice girl in... He thought that if his reputation was ruined, no one would marry him. He and my father were very relieved, and I thought it was a good thing for the old Xu family! "
Looking at Nan's expression of hating iron, Xu Caikui's mouth twitched: "Mother! Can the eldest brother be the only male heir of our old Xu family? If he asks, no one will marry him, and our old Xu family will have no one to inherit, so... that Deji No matter how much it is, it will be of no use!"
Nan frowned and was begging to shut up. At that time, her personal maid Chensha knocked on the door and reported through the door: "Madam, Second Miss: Miss Sheng San suddenly came with Miss Sheng Ba and Miss Sun of the Sheng family. ! Servant, it seems that they came and left very quickly, maybe they met something... "
Before Didong could say "It's like this", the frightened Nan had already taken three steps at a time, rushed to the east, opened the door, and said sternly: "Where is that person?! Where is he?! Look! Could it be hurt?!"
"We are serving tea in the flower hall now." Chen Sha went and said, "The three ladies looked at the neat clothes, although the accessories were not complete, and their expressions seemed to be worried, but overall they did not look like they were in any danger... It should be I ran over immediately after receiving any news!"
Nan breathed a sigh of relief and murmured: "It's good that the children are smart!"
She didn't have time to change into the dress she was wearing when meeting guests, and hurried to the flower hall, only to see Sheng Weiqiao and three people walking towards the east end holding tea bowls... There was a slight discrepancy between what Bu Nao and Chensha said: Sheng Weiqiao frowned, and she could tell she was worried at a glance. However, the other two girls, Gongsun Yingjiang, had a blank look on his face, while Sheng Weiwu looked sleepy. The maid next to him was supporting Qun Xuan, as if he was ready to curl up in an armchair and catch up on some sleep at any moment.
It's no wonder that because Sheng Weiqiao was worried about being affected by the intrigue between Meng's second wife, after leaving the palace, she rushed the carriage all the way back to Sheng's house. After entering, she didn't even have time to pack up her things. She rushed directly into the outer room of the wing and threw Gongsun into the house. Ying Jiang and Sheng Weiwu shouted, and ordered the maids to dress them up. The two girls were confused and didn't know anything, so they were dragged by her in the carriage and came to Ningwei Hou. It’s home!
At this moment, Gongsun Yingjiang was at a loss because he was older; Sheng Weiwu was young and not used to the climate in Chang'an, so didn't she want to sleep very much
"Qiao'er, what's going on?" It was precisely because of the reactions of Gongsun Yingjiang and Sheng Weiwu that Bu Nao confirmed what Chensha said, "It's not like he was in any danger. He should have run over immediately after receiving some news." When Nan saw this, he felt a big stone in his heart and asked with concern, "Is there something wrong?"
Xu Caikui, who followed closely behind her, also asked worriedly: "Sister, are you talking about what you just said...?"
Could it be that the Nan family guessed correctly that Princess Qingfang or Prince Gaomi was forced to stay in Shengzhai so quickly
The mother and daughter felt that this matter was too serious to be spread outside, and by the time they were asking questions, they had already sent all the people away.
