Now it seems that the battle in the Zhou Mansion has gradually heated up. There is another Fang Birong in this life. I am afraid that the Wen family may not be the opponent, otherwise Zhou Guanning will not be almost involved.
The young master of the Zhenguo General's Mansion and the Zhou Mansion can be said to be well-matched. If the two families make a marriage agreement based on this, it will really make this good story come true.
Just... will it? She wasn't sure.
"Please come here, son, I have something to say to him." After all, she was still a little worried, and she ordered.
"The son just left the mansion, and he is not in the mansion now." Soon, someone came to report.
Out of the house? For some reason, Shen Xinyan was always worried.
"Where did you talk about it? Can Ping Yan accompany you?"
"I never said that, Ping Yan never followed."
"Let people pay attention, if the son comes back, please come to see me immediately!" She had no choice but to order.
Wei Chenglin didn't come back until it was time to light the lights, and when he heard that his mother was looking for him, he hurried to the Funing Courtyard.
"You... have arrived at the Zhou Mansion today?" Shen Xinyan hesitated a little, but finally asked directly what was in her heart.
Wei Chenglin didn't expect that she asked him such a question, although it was an accident, but he didn't hide it from her, and replied honestly: "Yes, today the baby has indeed arrived at Master Zhou's residence."
"Is it for the 'hero saving the beauty' that has been rumored outside?"
Wei Chenglin nodded: "It is indeed for this matter."
"You want to meddle in the marriage between Zhou Mansion and Murong Mansion?" Shen Xinyan frowned.
"Master Zhou has no intention of getting married to the Murong Mansion. Those rumors outside are just scheming and rumors. In fact, the person who saved Miss Zhou that day was Haier, not Murong Tao."
"That Murong Tao has evil intentions and wants to use this matter to force the two governments to get married. Such a treacherous person, how could Mr. Zhou betroth the jewel in his palm to him." Wei Chenglin explained.
Shen Xinyan said calmly: "First, the rumors outside only mentioned that Mr. Murong saved the beauty as a hero. As for the time and place of saving the beauty, have you ever made it clear? How did you know that he was referring to Zhou Guanning's falling into the water last time?"
"Secondly, as far as I know, Murong Tao and Zhou Wanning have known each other since they were young, and they have a close relationship with Mr. Zhou Maozhou's family. If he really has evil intentions, with Mr. Zhou's shrewdness, why would he allow him to visit the house every now and then?"
"Finally, I just want to ask you a question. How do you plan to solve this problem when you intervene? Do you step forward and admit that you are the hero who saved the beauty?"
Wei Chenglin was dumb, facing Shen Xinyan's calm expression, he couldn't say anything.
"Mother knows that you are a responsible person, and she firmly believes that those words refer to the fact that she saved Miss Zhou last time. She feels ashamed in her heart, and she is not ashamed of Mr. Murong's methods, so she plans to stand up on her own. Mother said Is that right?" Shen Xinyan didn't push him anymore, and said again in a leisurely manner.
Wei Chenglin pursed his thin lips slightly, hesitated for a moment, and nodded slightly: "My child does have such a plan."
"Then have you ever thought that heroes saving beauty is a good story, but if there are two heroes, how much talk will it add to outsiders? What kind of situation will the rescued people be in?" Shen Xinyan asked patiently.
"What the mother said, the child has also considered it, so he has not been able to make up his mind."
This is also the hateful thing about Murong Tao, those rumors are released, it is not right for him to stand up to clarify, it is not right if he does not stand up, he is completely caught in a dilemma.
"Actually, the best solution to this matter is for the Zhen Guo General's Mansion and the Zhou Mansion to make a marriage agreement for their sons and daughters. Although Mr. Zhou is angry with Mr. Murong now, if Mr. Murong wants to ask for a marriage, he will take the blame and be honest with Mrs. Zhou." His admiration, Master Zhou and Madam Zhou may not be incapable of accepting it."
"Actually, from the moment Mr. Murong released those words, you were completely out of the loop. Wouldn't it be a joke if you got involved?"
Wei Chenglin's face was a bit ugly, and every word Shen Xinyan said was like a heavy hammer hitting his heart, bringing a dull dull pain.
"Furthermore, Mr. Zhou's family has not expressed anything so far. Maybe they are waiting for Mr. Murong's attitude. And your attitude has already been expressed when you came to the door today. Mr. Zhou will not blame you for anything. Therefore, this matter You don't want to meddle any more, and I won't allow you to meddle any more!" At the end, Shen Xinyan's expression was quite stern.
Wei Chenglin opened his mouth to say something, but found that his throat seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't say a word.
Only he himself knows that what he did today is actually selfish.
Selfishly, he didn't want to see Murong Tao marry Zhou Guanning back.
"Brother Lin, your grandfather has placed high hopes on you since childhood, hoping that you will shine in the family. Your grandmother, father, including your mother are also the same. Your mother only hopes that you will do things in the future, and no matter when, you will always be in the house. Take care of your loved ones, don't let them live up to their expectations of you over the years, let alone let down your grandfather's careful cultivation of you for many years."
"You are tired after working outside for so long, go back and rest!"
Wei Chenglin left the Funing Courtyard in a daze, and he didn't know if it was his illusion. He always felt that every word his mother said to him seemed to contain deep meaning, especially the last words, perhaps because he was overly sensitive, and even I felt a little bit of disappointment from it.
Did he disappoint his mother
However, to Shen Xinyan's great surprise, Murong Tao never went to the Zhou Mansion to plead guilty!
She was puzzled.
How could this be so? With Murong Tao's infatuation, seeing that he was only one step away from embracing a beauty, how could he give up at this most critical moment? Wouldn't this be a waste of everything he had done before
In the end, the news brought by Wei Yingzhi solved her doubts.
"I also heard from Murong Wenqi that her 'heroic' brother was imprisoned by Mrs. Murong." Wei Yingzhi casually said the gossip she heard.
Shen Xinyan suddenly realized.
It turned out to be like this, strange way, it was just a step away from the door, but it happened to be pulled back by my mother, so that I can't go out until now.
Only in this way, Zhou Guanning's situation would be embarrassing.
She could already imagine how sad it would be for Zhou Mao and his wife, who were waiting for Murong Tao to come to their door.
But if the protagonist is Zhou Wanning, she believes that she can get through it safely.
Sure enough, as she expected, a few days later, a guard next to His Royal Highness suddenly married Zhou Guanning's personal maid. Originally, there was nothing to attract attention when a guard married a maid, but recently, many people in Beijing have their eyes fixed on the Zhou Mansion, only to see when the official media from the General Zhen Guo's Mansion will come to the door, who would have expected to wait for him? Come and wait, just wait for such a marriage to come.
Then someone with connections inquired, and found out that it was not the son of the General Zhen Guo's mansion who rescued the girl of Zhou's mansion that day, but the guards around the prince who rescued Miss Zhou's maid.
For a while, many people were greatly disappointed. After watching such a lively scene for so long, it turned out that it was just an oolong
Of course, there are some people who don't believe it, but those who are involved with the prince don't dare to say more, no matter how many questions they have.
Shen Xinyan was not surprised by this result, but was just surprised that Zhou Mao was able to invite His Highness the Crown Prince to come forward to restore her daughter's reputation.
At this moment in the East Palace, Wei Chenglin thanked the prince with a big gift: "Thank you, Your Highness!"
"It's strange for you to thank me this time. I'm helping Zhou Mao. Why are you here to thank me?" the prince asked with a smile.
"After all, this matter started because of Cheng Lin, so how can we just watch Miss Zhou fall into the rumors. Besides, His Highness timely kindly relieved the Zhou family's difficulties. With Master Zhou's love for daughters, he must be grateful to His Royal Highness, Your Highness." Since then, I have gained a powerful helper in the court."
The prince smiled: "What you said is also reasonable. Zhou Mao is indeed a capable minister, and it would be better if he could win him over."
"It's just that Miss Zhou was indeed a rare beauty. If you like it, you can still think about this marriage." The prince continued meaningfully.
Wei Chenglin reluctantly twitched the corner of his mouth, but did not answer his words. It's just that there is a bit of bitterness in my heart.
He's not a fool, so he can tell from his mother's attitude that she doesn't like Miss Zhou, and she certainly wouldn't want Wei and Zhou to become in-laws.
When he was leaving the palace, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and when he turned his head, he saw Murong Tao's resentful face.
Murong Tao sneered at him, got on the horse without saying a word, and quickly disappeared before his eyes.
***
In the palace, Concubine Rui held Yunfu's hand lovingly and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't like Miss Sun's family, Miss Murong from Zhen Guo General's Mansion..."
"Auntie, my nephew already has a girl he likes in his heart, whether it's a girl from the Sun family or a girl from the Murong family, it's not what my nephew wants." Yun Fu interrupted her and said frankly.
Concubine Rui was surprised: "You have a girl you like? Which girl is it? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Yunfu scratched his ears in embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "My aunt also recognizes her..."
Concubine Rui was even more surprised, and wanted to ask more questions, but suddenly she had a flash of inspiration, paused her breath, and asked tentatively, "Could it be Ying'er?"
Yun Fu blushed with a handsome face, but he didn't deny it, and gave a slightly awkward 'hmm'.
Concubine Rui was silent for a moment.
She should have figured it out a long time ago...
After not seeing her response for a long time, Yun Fu whispered uneasy: "Auntie?"
"Your heart is full of joy, what about her? Does she have you in her heart?" Concubine Rui asked softly.
Yun Fu's face suddenly collapsed, and he said with great enthusiasm: "She always treats me like a younger brother. I don't know what happened recently. Every time I go, I can't find her."
Concubine Rui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't show it at all.
Although the relationship between her aunt and nephew has become closer in the past few years, she also knows that in her nephew's heart, there has always been a place for those in the British government, especially the British prince Wei Junhang.
Therefore, she still had to think about her nephew's favorite Wei Yingzhi.
