"You saved her?" Shen Xinyan asked without answering.
Wei Chenglin hesitated for a while, then nodded.
Shen Xinyan was not surprised at all.
"Mother, you... how did you know that the kidnapped is Lord Zhou Maozhou's daughter?" After all, he still couldn't figure it out.
Knowing that Miss Zhou's family was kidnapped was limited to Mr. Zhou's family and the officials who participated in the rescue. The mother had no contact with her from the beginning to the end, so how could she know that it was Miss Zhou who was kidnapped
"I'm just guessing." Shen Xinyan poured a bowl of tea for herself.
guess? Wei Chenglin didn't quite believe it.
Mother stayed in Baiweilou from the very beginning and never went out. What basis can she make such an accurate guess
Naturally, Shen Xinyan could see his disbelief, wiped the corners of her lips lightly, and said unhurriedly: "It is said that Miss Zhou was born with a beautiful beauty, like a bright pearl, even if it is placed in a haystack, it will Easily catches the eye... ”
Wei Chenglin frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable for some reason.
What does mother mean by this? Only by Miss Zhou's "Fragrant Country Beauty" can she accurately guess that the person who had the accident last night was her? Logically, it shouldn't be, and there must be other reasons that made the mother make such a judgment.
Could it be that something similar happened to Miss Zhou? And it just so happened that my mother knew about it, so when she heard that a girl was kidnapped last night, she could quickly think of Miss Zhou.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was the greatest. It's just that I still have some hesitation in my heart.
After all, Miss Zhou is also the daughter of an official family, and she is always hugged when she comes in and out. How can such kidnappings happen one after another
At this moment, a crooked little figure appeared at the door, Shen Xinyan looked over, and saw her youngest son, Brother Xiang, holding the door and grinning at her.
Her heart softened all of a sudden, and she took a few steps forward, hugged the cute smiling little guy in her arms and kissed, and said lovingly: "Brother Xiang, did you come to pay your respects like your mother?"
The little guy yelled at her a few times.
"Lazy guy, you already know how to talk, but you don't like to talk." Shen Xinyan pinched his chubby face helplessly, and walked in step by step while holding his little hand.
The little guy swayed like a little duckling, rolled his black eyeballs a few times, finally found Wei Chenglin in the room, and immediately cried out happily "Yahah".
Wei Chenglin smiled and gently held the younger brother's fleshy arm, squatted down and looked into those black and white clear eyes, seeing the two little selves reflected in them, couldn't help imitating Shen Xinyan's movements, He also pinched the little guy's face.
The tentacles are soft and very comfortable.
Shen Xinyan smiled at the interaction between the two brothers, seeing the youngest son hugging his elder brother's neck affectionately, saying a bunch of words that no one could understand.
Wei Chenglin, on the other hand, had an expression of listening carefully, and occasionally wiped his younger brother's sweat with a handkerchief, his movements were gentle but patient.
"Okay, you were tired all night last night, you should go back and rest now, and get up again when the time comes." After a while, she stepped forward to pick up the younger son and put him on the soft couch, then turned to tell the eldest son.
Wei Chenglin was also quite tired. Hearing what she said, the feeling of exhaustion struck again, so he didn't say much, and nodded in response: "Yes, that child will go back first."
Before leaving, he shook Brother Xiang's little hand again, causing the little guy to giggle happily.
When he returned to his room, he lay on the bed after changing his clothes, staring blankly at the ceiling and lost his mind, obviously his body was extremely tired, but his mind was quite clear, and the events of last night flashed scene after scene.
What my mother said was right, the girl Zhou was born with a beautiful face, even if she was thrown into the haystack, she could easily attract the attention of others.
Thinking of the feeling of saving her from the kidnappers and holding the warm and fragrant nephrite in his arms, as if the refreshing and unique fragrance was still lingering in his nose, his heart suddenly jumped rapidly. When he woke up, the roots of his ears gradually turned red.
However, at the next moment, when Shen Xinyan's accurate guess and her words that seemed to have a deep meaning echoed in her ears, it was as if a basin of cold water poured down her head, extinguishing his gradually rising enthusiasm in an instant up.
What kind of woman is that Miss Zhou... She is so beautiful and delicate, he still remembers that when he found her, she was so scared that she shrank in the corner of the car, and those beautiful eyes filled with water vapor looked over in panic, but in an instant , and like a frightened rabbit, it kept shrinking into the corner.
He has seen many women in his life, but there has never been one who can easily arouse his pity like her.
However, maybe it was because none of the women around him was as weak as her.
For a while he thought about that soft and delicate woman, and for a while he thought about Shen Xinyan's words full of deep meaning, and unconsciously, he fell asleep.
But Shen Xinyan in the main room patiently coaxed her younger son to talk, but she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Ever since she discovered that she had come back to life, whatever she wanted to do was seldom unsuccessful. Today, she has everything from fame, status, and money. There is Wei Junhang in the mansion to protect her, and there are noble concubines in the palace to take care of her a lot. There is no lady in the capital who is not respectful to her, even if it is only superficial respect, doesn't it further show that those people are afraid of her?
But the eldest son's marriage, which she cared most about in her heart, was not progressing smoothly.
Wu Rui, the princess of Changning County, was seriously ill and had no choice but to withdraw from her marriage; Miss Xie's family eloped with someone, and the marriage was cut off halfway. Today, Wei Chenglin is still following the trajectory of his previous life, appearing as a "hero" in front of Zhou Guanning who is in distress.
She even had some doubts whether the eldest son and Zhou Guanning were a destined marriage, irresistible. Therefore, Princess Changning, who had been engaged to her eldest son, would not get sick, and her condition gradually improved after retiring.
***
"My son originally planned to go back to the mansion directly. I never thought that I would meet Mr. Zhou on the way. I went to the Zhou mansion at the invitation of Mr. Zhou. I am afraid that I will not be able to return to the mansion after a while." The news of late return came to Shen Xinyan.
"What is brother going to Zhou Mansion for?" Wei Yingzhi who just walked in asked casually.
"It seems to be because the son once did Mr. Zhou a big favor."
Busy? Shen Xinyan raised her eyebrows.
It was indeed a great favor to save his precious daughter, this great kindness, with Zhou Mao's personality, he must not let it go as if he didn't know it.
"You go down first! I know everything." After dismissing the servants, she turned her head and saw her daughter sitting on the side with her mouth pouted without saying a word.
"What's the matter? Well, why did you hang up the mouth of the oil bottle again? You and Yunfu are at odds again?" She joked, but she thought in her heart that perhaps she should slowly separate her daughter from Yunfu, after all, now Both of them have grown up gradually, and they can no longer be as close as they were when they were young.
Otherwise, if it spreads out, it will be detrimental to both of them, even the noble concubines in the palace will not be happy.
Since he has no intention of getting married, it is better to keep a distance in some matters, so as not to cause any misunderstandings.
"How can it be! Yunfu is so busy recently that Shenlong can't see the tail, and it's hard to see each other easily." Wei Yingzhi replied with her head on her shoulder.
"Then why do you look like this, but someone provoked you again?" Shen Xinyan was surprised.
"Who dares to provoke me? There are fathers, mothers, brothers and grandmothers, who would dare to bully me?" Wei Yingzhi rubbed her arm coquettishly.
Shen Xinyan smiled slightly, and didn't ask any more questions.
On this day, Yunfu finally had time to come to the Duke's mansion. It happened that Wei Junhang brought back a basket of crabs. The juniors simply asked the servants to set up a crab banquet in the pavilion in the back garden. They drank and ate crabs while drinking. Enjoying the blooming autumn chrysanthemums in the garden.
"Yunfu, have you seen Master Zhou Maozhou's daughter? Tsk tsk, she is really a stunning beauty, she can outshine all the girls in the capital!" Wei Chengyue poured a glass of wine, enviously said.
Wei Chengzhao, who was silently eating crab roe, raised his eyes and glanced at him, then quickly glanced at Wei Yingzhi, who had walked over without knowing when, and sat away from him calmly.
This idiot is being stupid again, he'd better stay away from him, or he will be implicated by him!
"I met once in the palace." Yun Fu was already slightly drunk, and he answered honestly when he asked this question.
"How so? She's a stunning beauty, right? I'm afraid only a noble concubine can compare with her." Wei Chengyue suddenly became interested.
"She dares to be compared with the imperial concubine? Brother Yue, you are going back as you live." Wei Yingzhi couldn't listen anymore, snorted heavily, and put the wine pot in her hand on the table.
"You're talking about Zhou Wanning, right? I don't like the way she always pretends to be weak, like she's being bullied." She continued.
"Miss Zhou is not pretending to be weak, she is a weak woman." Wei Cheng retorted boldly.
"She is indeed weak, and she can do nothing but cry." Wei Yingzhi snorted again, and was too lazy to talk to him, turned around and left.
"Ying'er doesn't like that girl from the Zhou family." Yun Fu came to a conclusion dully.
"This is nothing more than normal. For a woman as beautiful as Miss Zhou, I'm afraid not many girls would like her. Because as long as you stand with her, you will immediately be treated like an ordinary girl." Wei Chengyue laughed, and immediately Shaking his head pretendingly, he sighed, "Since ancient times, beauties have looked down on each other, ah, beauties have looked down on each other!"
"Is that so?" Yun Fu asked in a daze, drunkenly.
"Of course it is!" Wei Chengyue slapped his thigh and asked, "Do you think the fourth younger sister is the most beautiful, or Miss Zhou?"
"Of course Ying'er is more beautiful!" Yun Fu replied subconsciously.
Wei Chengyue looked at him strangely for a long time before showing a sympathetic expression.
"Yunfu, now I know that you have eye disease!"
