Dongchang Mansion has been recuperating and recuperating for decades and has always been peaceful. The sudden tragedy of annihilation of the family caused a lot of discussion among the whole family.
In addition, the sufferer was an in-law of the Wen family, and a nephew of the family and the housekeeper were fighting each other, which caused a lot of trouble. Naturally, the government did not dare to neglect it. After hearing the news, they launched a thorough investigation vigorously and resolutely.
The result of a thorough investigation was that neither Xi Xing nor Xi Lian knew anything!
As Xi Zongwang's nephew, Xi Xing has been coveting his uncle's property for a long time, and he has long had the intention of seeking wealth and murder!
Because Xi Xing and Xi Zongwang were of the same clan with traceable blood ties, his idea was to kill all the male heirs of the Xi family, from Xi Zongwang to Xi Fucui to Xi Jiao. The female heir, Xi Fuwei, would not delay his inheritance of the family. He had a career, and was still engaged to the Wen family. After getting married, he might still be his helper, but he didn't plan to move!
As for Xi Lian, it seems that he is a reliable housekeeper of the Xi family and can be relied upon. In fact, he owes a huge debt due to gambling outside. He wants to ask his boss for help, but he is afraid that the shrewd and powerful lady in charge, Xi Fuwei, will not agree and even cause the incident to happen. After that, he couldn't even keep his position as housekeeper, and he also had the idea of murdering the master's family and framing Xi Xing!
Xi Lian only planned to kill Xi Fucui and Xi Fuwei. As for the honest and easy-to-deceive Xi Zongwang and the young Xi Jiao, he planned to stay as a cover for himself to control the Xi family.
Both of them had evil intentions, and they didn't know each other's plans, so they got together from a distance away and made a move. By accident, the Xi family was wiped out!
Now both of them were panicking, and in their desperation, they unanimously regarded each other as the scapegoat.
However, the government is not useless, and finally found out the truth... Of course, Xi Xing and Xi Lian will not end well, and the Xi family will no longer exist.
Everyone in the Dongchang Mansion felt sorry for this family. They said it was terrible these days to have unruly slaves and evil relatives. A good family, with a bright future ahead of them, was gone without even a trace of their blood being passed down. , how can it not be embarrassing
Of course, these are all words said on the scene. Privately, many people are very lucky and even happy.
After all, as outsiders, the Xi family has gradually begun to dominate the local wealthy families. How could the locals not have any objections
Now that they are gone, the threat is gone, and the position of the fiancée of the eldest son of the Wen family is also vacant... No matter how I think about it, I feel that the Xi family is better off!
Amid the noisy discussions, many people couldn't wait to test Wen Xianyun's life events.
after all…
The eldest son of the Wen family should have gotten married a long time ago. The reason why it has been delayed until now is simply because his previous fiancée Xi Fuwei is young. The Xi family loves their daughter and is reluctant to let her leave the court early, so they have been delaying it. Songkou promised to discuss the marriage, but the person disappeared.
Wen Xianyun would definitely not keep this fiancée's integrity, but the Wen family was a wealthy family in Dongchang Mansion, and they had always attached great importance to Xi Fuwei.
Xi Fuwei had just left at this moment, and Wen Xianyun probably wouldn't get engaged again right away, but... we can make a private agreement without announcing it!
While a group of gentry who thought they were worthy of marrying the Wen family were gearing up, Wen Xianyun, who was regarded as a target, stood expressionless in front of Xi Fuwei's grave, silent for a long time.
… After the Xi family was wiped out, the Wen family took care of the funeral arrangements.
According to the rules at this time, girls who have not left the palace are not allowed to enter the ancestral graves.
As for the Wen family, since Xi Fuwei had not officially married in, they did not agree to let her be buried in the ancestral land of the Wen family.
Wen Xianyun finally chose a secluded place with beautiful scenery for his fiancée, and personally supervised the construction of an extremely exquisite cemetery.
In the past few days, he had come to visit several times, and each time he was dressed lightly. When he arrived at the place, he made everyone stay away from him. He lingered alone in front of the tomb for a long time, and then left three times with one step.
When news of the incident spread, everyone in the Dongchang Mansion praised him for his love and righteousness. Xi Fuwei was not blessed enough to have such an affectionate fiancé.
At this moment, Wen Xianyun thought of such words, and the corners of his mouth subconsciously raised into a sarcastic smile.
"My eldest son, you have been running here several times in the past few days, and you have almost won sympathy and praise from both inside and outside." Before the smile completely subsided, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him, followed by The old man's slow voice sounded, "It's the end of the year and there are a lot of things going on in the house. Madam, please don't come over here... Anyway, everyone is busy celebrating the New Year and won't have much time to pay attention to this family." Not blessed."
"..." With his back turned to him, Wen Xianyun's eyes were cold for a moment, but when he turned around, he had returned to his usual gentleness and asked with concern, "Mother must be very busy these days... I don't know what's wrong with her body. Like? I seem to have heard someone say that she coughed again? "
"Madam, this is an old problem." The old man was Mrs. Wen's dowry and confidant. Hearing this, he smiled and said gently, "It attacks when I'm tired... But after taking medicine, it's okay for the time being. The whole family is simply gone. , the eldest son personally came forward to bury them in peace, and he came to visit from time to time these days, which is the most benevolent thing!"
"When the new year comes around, the eldest son can hire a noble lady from a noble family."
"With such a young lady coming in, the lady can have a rest."
Wen Xianyun also smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes: "I heard that many people have been talking to mother these days?"
"Isn't that true?" The confidant waved to the servant in the distance to come over, personally took the cloak and put it on him, and said, "But didn't the servant say that the female family member brought by the noble... doesn't look like she's gone out. What does the pavilion look like?"
Wen Xianyun's pupils shrank for a moment, and then he said nonchalantly: "Those are the noble girls from Yingtian Mansion. Although their identities are not known so far, judging from their conversation and demeanor, they are definitely not ordinary people... Such girls, How can our family's lintel be worthy of it? I'm afraid my mother is overthinking it."
The confidant smiled when he heard this and said: "Eldest Master, Madam, are you overthinking it? It's just that Madam thinks that a girl of this age would travel with the elders in the family, and 100% of the time she is not betrothed to someone else! Otherwise, she would be too busy It’s too late to prepare the dowry at home, so how can I have the time to show up in public?”
Wen Xianyun said: "I think that young lady is very innocent, and she is probably very favored. It is human nature to be a bit silly like this."
"As long as you are favored." The confidant smiled meaningfully and said, "So as long as the young lady likes the eldest son, are you afraid that the marriage will not work out?"
"The reason why our family found traces of that group of people was because the dandy in the family offended the young lady." Wen Xianyun said, "Even if we responded in time, the ones who have been with us for many days... they are still a little bit... Still angry."
"Even if that young lady is not angry at me right now, how could she possibly like me?"
The confidant said: "Why should the eldest son belittle himself? In terms of talent and appearance, who has the eldest son been afraid of? Even if the young lady comes from Yingtian Mansion, her eyes are higher than her head, and she doesn't look down on others. Are you the eldest young master?”
Wen Xianyun just smiled, glanced at the tombstone in front of him, turned around slowly, straightened his robes, and said softly: "Don't talk nonsense! That noble man is not someone we Wen family can offend, he has already been offended before. The matter has just calmed down after we got rid of them. If they hear any news now... it's not a joke."
When the confidant heard this, he quickly fell silent and said respectfully, "The eldest son is right."
"Also, Xi Fuwei... is really gone?" Wen Xianyun walked towards his mount, and halfway there, he suddenly asked without warning, "After all, there are no bones left, so the girl is not completely dead." People... Xi Zongwang was in trouble, and she and her nephew died in the sea of fire. Isn't this a coincidence? "
The confidant said: "My wife had doubts about this before and sent people to investigate. It was said that the fire was very big at that time, and it was very possible that the people's bones were burned; and even though Miss Xi's family had some Chengfu, how old she is, without the support of Xi Zongwang and Xi Fucui, even if she is planning to fake her own death to escape, how can she not reveal her whereabouts with a child like Xi Jiao? After all, the details of the Xi family are here. , how can you hide it from our family’s eyes and ears?”
"..." Wen Xianyun nodded and said nothing, "I understand."
He was striding ahead at this time, and his confidants couldn't see his face, so they missed the sudden evil look in Wen Xianyun's eyes.
... Xi Fuwei didn't know this. After speculating about Fu Chuoxian, she focused on how to teach Zou Qiongruo's girls.
After all, who knows when the task assigned to her by Shen Diolan will be completed
If someone spends three days fishing and two days drying nets as soon as he enters the house... It's strange that Mrs. Shang doesn't chase people away!
By then, who knows what face Shen Tiaolan will give her
It's just a courtesy, because I'm afraid that he will fall out in anger and hand over the Xi family's aunt and nephew to the Wen family or something. That would really make me want to cry!
With this thought in mind, she tried hard to recall the lessons learned by Xi Zongwang and Xi Fucui when she was a child, and then deleted, deleted, and modified them on this basis. Finally, she stayed up until midnight before deciding how to be this female teacher.
Early the next morning, Fu Chuoxian came to knock on the door in person and reminded Xi Fuwei to get up early, so as not to cause criticism to Zou Qiongruo and others who had been waiting in the school for a long time and the teacher did not show up.
In fact, Xi Fuwei had almost finished cleaning up at this time. Hearing the sound, she came over and opened the door. When she saw it was Fu Chuoxian, she invited her in to talk.
"I'm going to school later, so I won't go in." Fu Chuoxian nodded to her and said, "I just came over to check on you, so that you wouldn't worry too much last night and lose your energy. I can’t get up now, I’m late... Now that you’ve done it, why don’t you go down and use Rebellion, and we can go there together later?”
Xi Fuwei naturally agreed, and the two of them went to the school together. Fu Chuoxian was afraid that she would be nervous, so he whispered some advice on the experience of being a female teacher outside, and comforted and encouraged her for a while before watching her step in. classroom.
At this time, Xi Fuwei's overall mood was actually very calm...
But when she walked into the classroom with a slight smile and glanced at her casually, she suddenly felt bad!
"Zou Yiang... why is he here again?!"
