Although Sheng Weiqiao was very suspicious of Rong Suihe, she had no chance to confirm it: Rong Suihe was sent away that day.
When he left, he didn't even have time to say goodbye to Sheng Weiqiao in person.
Sheng Lanci and his wife explained to their daughter after Rong Suihe left: "When he came south, the reason he said was to visit your mother. Now that Yuan'er is one month old, if he continues to stay, it will easily lead to trouble in life." Doubtful! If we have decided to marry you to him now, that’s fine; but we have decided to go to Chang’an to investigate again, what if something happens in the middle?! So it’s better to be cautious.”
"The main reason is that when you went south, didn't you encounter pirates?" Feng added to her husband, "If you let the world know about you and him now, when you go back north, God knows whether the Meng family will send people to follow up. Dressing up as a pirate to intercept and kill him? It’s not appropriate to make it public until this is done.”
"Secondly, he is going south this time. Your marriage is just one of them. He also has other business matters." Sheng Lanci waited for his wife to finish speaking and continued, "For example, Tortoiseshell Island... So we asked him to take the Gongsun family first. Go to Chang'an to explain."
Sheng Weiqiao said subconsciously: "Meng will definitely not let this matter go. If he can't handle it well when he goes back alone..."
"Then there's no need for us to marry you to him!" Sheng Lanci and his wife said calmly, "If we can't settle such a little thing, how can we safely betroth you to him?!"
Feng said earnestly: "My dear, our family is not short of money, and we are not greedy for power. The only thing we want is to find you a good husband you can rely on! So the person who marries you can have no money, can be temporarily powerless, or even Even if your status is low now, it doesn’t matter, but you must be able to protect you and shield you from wind and rain! Otherwise, we might as well recruit a wife for you, or say something unpleasant, buy you two good-looking ones. The waiter is waiting on you!"
"Anyway, as long as it is your biological flesh and blood, it is our direct grandson!"
Sheng Weiqiao: "..."
She calmed down and said, "But Tortoiseshell Island... our family has helped him hide this matter. If he goes back to explain it alone and cannot hold it back, won't he expose us?"
"My dear girl, don't worry about this!" Sheng Lanci said kindly, "Not to mention that boy vowed not to betray our family no matter what, how could my parents give him a chance to fight? If he The part about living on Tortoiseshell Island has been uncovered. No matter how we investigate it here in the Sheng family, it’s all the fault of the steward who replaced dad in the non-existent outside room to raise children. The entire Sheng family has been deceived!”
Mrs. Feng nodded matter-of-factly: "Although your father was attracted by his character of repaying kindness and decided to accept him as his son. But after all, he is an outsider, and our family has a rich family fortune. If he finds out, Our family can no longer control our financial situation. We want to turn against the guest, but also want to harm you? So before we admit him to the door, we have enough backup plans, so as not to be afraid of him biting back!"
"..." Sheng Weiqiao was speechless again: It was thanks to my mother that when you were pregnant last year, you looked doubly friendly to Rong Suihe, and you taught me from time to time that I should respect my "brother"... Co-authored a family of three at that time , I am the most sincere towards that guy!
At least when she hated him, she openly wanted to kick him out!
Not like my parents...
"Without such precautionary considerations, the Sheng family would not be what it is today!" Seeing her daughter's thoughts, Sheng Lanci said, "And those who are behind the scenes, as long as Prince Mi Zhen does not retaliate for kindness, our family will not take them. How about him, it's just a precaution! It's better than being tricked by a white-eyed wolf and regretting it again, right?"
Sheng Weiqiao sighed secretly when he heard this, knowing that he could not persuade his parents to help Rong Suihe, so he could only ask listlessly: "By the way, Mi Zhen is gone, what about Li Shengxu? Is he still there?"
"The Marquis of Yichun doesn't want to compete with your parents for your sweetheart, so why should we drive him away?" Feng smiled when she heard this, stretched out her finger and tapped her daughter's forehead, and said, "The Marquis is still living in the guest house. , it seems that they were dragged out to sea by Prince Mi Zhen a few days ago, and lived outside for two days before coming back... We are too lazy to care about their affairs at the moment. But the Marquis also revealed it to us yesterday When I wanted to say goodbye, I said I planned to go to Guipo County next door to visit my sister."
"Your father and I have already discussed that we will send Shengfu to be his guide. Our family also has some property in Guipo County. Shengfu has visited there before and is familiar with the people. If there is anything he needs, he can help. busy."
After pondering for a while, he added, "The Marquis plans to visit all three of his sisters before returning to Chang'an. We have asked and found that his three sisters are all in the south. It will take about a month or two to go back and forth. Just in time. This time your father, your grandfather, your grandmother, and your aunt are going north, which is no small matter, and it will take some time to prepare. So when he is visiting relatives there, we are just packing our things, and we will go to Chang'an together!"
Sheng Weiqiao deduced from his mother's words that Rong Suihe had indeed taken advantage of Li Shengxu. The incident on Tortoiseshell Island finally had a cover. According to the plan he mentioned before, the Gaomi King from Chang'an was behind it. , and may not reveal Rong Suihe’s past
I am not afraid that King Gaomi will not help with this matter, because even if the attitude of Princess Gaomi is not considered, King Gaomi’s own son grew up in a pirate den, and now he wants to recruit this group of pirates. If Meng wants to know this, How could he just criticize Rong Suihe? That would definitely drag down the entire Gaomi Palace.
So no matter what King Gaomi thought about his son Suihe, in this matter, he really only wanted to be a shady person, and he wanted to help his son no matter what.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Shengfu is the most powerful person under Dad. With him accompanying Li Shengxu to visit relatives, and Dad's respect in the south, nothing will go wrong."
In fact, nothing went wrong. After Shengfu set off with Li Shengxu, the news sent back was that Li Shengxu's three sisters were very respected in her husband's family. Except that they missed Princess Wuyang and Princess Wuyang more when they were married far away. Except for Li Shengxu, he usually has nothing to worry about.
Even for the second sister Li Shengsi, who has only given birth to two daughters but no son, her husband did not tell her what to do with her because of this. He also doted on the two daughters. When the marquis' brother-in-law came to the door, he was so enthusiastic that even Sheng Fu was moved. Feeling flattered to be entertained.
"The eldest princess Wuyang is so versatile and has good taste." After hearing the news, Sheng Weiqiao said with a smile, "All three of her daughters are marrying away, so this candidate must be carefully selected. It seems that the eldest princess has chosen these three. Son-in-law, no one makes a mistake."
At this time, Xiquan happened to bring a plate of fruit for Feng. Hearing this, he joked: "I heard that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess also liked the county master as her daughter-in-law? In fact, the slave girl liked Yichun Hou's son. He may not be under Prince Mi Zhen, County Master, would you like to consider him as well? I think, slave, the Marquis of Yichun, if nothing else, is at least easier to bully than Prince Mi Zhen?"
"Auntie!" Sheng Weiqiao rolled her eyes angrily, "You watched me grow up! Are you here to bully me too?"
"How can this be called bullying?" Xiquan said with a smile, "It's not that the county king is too powerful. I think that the county master has always been delicate... and I am worried?"
When Sheng Weiqiao heard this, he rolled his eyes and hurriedly came to her side: "Auntie, did you hear something? Tell me something?"
Xiquan looked at the coquettish appearance of his county prince in amusement, and after a while he said: "It's not a big deal... It's just that the county prince arrived in Chang'an two days ago with the people from Tortoiseshell Island? In the court hall, Gaomi The Wang faction and the Meng faction have been arguing over this matter."
She showed a look of disbelief, "Probably because the emperor did not go to court, there was no one to suppress him, so King Gaomi made a move while talking to Meng... It is said that this is not the first time! Because Meng Because of Ding Xingwang's family, in the past such big fights in the court, it was King Gaomi who suffered the most! But this time the prince is also here, guess what?"
Sheng Weiqiao raised his hand to his forehead and said, "What else can be done? If he doesn't carry out all those who were beaten by the Meng family out of the imperial city, then he would be showing mercy!"
There’s no need to guess at this!
Because the fight was in the court, it was difficult to provide guards and soldiers for each family there, so they had to rely on their own force.
Then the Meng family had a large number of people, and aside from their family wealth, it was hard to say whether Zheng Guogong’s generation had the conditions to practice martial arts. It was Meng Guiyu’s generation. Counting their age, the older ones, when Empress Dowager Meng came into power, He is already in his teens, how can he compare to Rong Suihe who was living in a gangster's den at the age of five and had to start struggling for survival
The Meng family's grandchildren basically have the capital to cultivate them in various ways from birth, but how can the children raised in the family who are both civilized and martial arts capable be compared to the outstanding ones from a land of tigers and wolves like Tortoiseshell Island in terms of fighting
To be fair, Rong Suihe could kill them all with just a little effort, okay
... Well, if the Meng family didn't have Meng Boqin, who was in charge of northern Xinjiang and held military power, with Sheng Weiqiao's understanding of Rong Suihe, this man might not be able to do something like a bloodbath in the court.
"Isn't that true?" Xiquan said with a smile, "It is said that except for Zheng Guogong, Wu'anhou, and Chengyanghou who were older and did not participate in the attack, the other children of the Meng family were beaten with bruises and swollen faces. A few people with particularly flamboyant attitudes were actually carried out of the imperial city!"
Sheng Weiqiao raised his forehead again: "Meng will definitely not just let it go... How is this matter going now?"
"As for the court fight, it was all sent by flying pigeons, so I received the news now!" Hosumi said, "We have to wait a while to know the follow-up of this matter."
When she said this, Sheng Weiqiao immediately became worried. Because of their different backgrounds, fighting and killing were commonplace for Rong Suihe, but none of them were trivial to her.
At this moment, he suddenly became worried and thought to himself: "Why is this man so uncontrollable?! If his father, King Gaomi, really treats him, and he beats Meng's people in court, after all, King Gaomi will He may not be afraid of anything. But the King of Gaomi sent people to pretend to be pirates and attacked him. Can such a father still believe it? What if... What if the King of Gaomi used this incident to eradicate him? What should I do if I leave it to the Meng family?!"
... King Gaomi, who is far away in Chang'an, doesn't know that his son has already discredited himself in front of his prospective daughter-in-law. However, when it comes to Rong Suihe's violent beating of the Meng family members, he really has the ability to push things along with Rong. Sleeping Crane was handed over to Meng, so that he could use Meng's hand to clear the way for his favorite prince.
But it’s just an idea…
If he really does this, his princess will definitely not fight him desperately, but will kill him...
Therefore, King Gaomi could only give up this plan with regret, but this did not prevent him from using the topic to curse Rong Suihe: "You bastard! What are you doing!? There are so many people in the Meng family..."
"There are so many people in the Meng family, why didn't they just beat you to death in the court?!" Before he could finish his words, he was lightly kicked to the ground by his impatient little son, who said coldly, "It's better for you to do this. Should I stand by and watch when I'm about to get beaten?! Then don't worry, I will definitely satisfy you next time!"
After saying that, he didn’t care how embarrassed King Gaomi was because his face turned the color of pig liver. He didn’t even care about Crown Prince Rong Qingzui’s helpless attempts to smooth things over. He turned around and pushed away from the study, and just walked away in a majestic manner!
"Father, the third brother took action today just to protect us. If you say that, no wonder he is heartbroken!" Seeing this, Rong Qingzui hesitated between chasing him back and taking care of his father. In the end, he decided Lifting his robe, he stepped forward and helped King Gaomi. While supporting him, he said sadly, "My child has already said that he doesn't want to compete with his third brother for anything. Why do you..."
Halfway through his words, King Gaomi was trembling with anger and interrupted him sharply: "He was so disobedient to me just now, and now he dares to kick me. Is he afraid he won't kill his father in the future?! How can you still be such a bastard?" If you want to let him go, you are afraid that I will not be miserable in my old age, right?!"
Rong Qingzhu was so frightened that he immediately fell silent!
But what the father and son didn't know was that Rong Suihe's mischief wasn't over yet!
After leaving King Gaomi's study, he went to do something even more stupid without stopping!
