Chapter 651 Can my brother still be redeemed?
Although the folk customs of Lingnan are different from those in the northwest and Kyoto, after living here for more than a year, Sang Zhixia still likes it here very much.
Apart from anything else, at least the people under the rule of the King of Lingnan are simple and honest.
The government offices were not for show. Under the strict rules of the people, not only were people not allowed to pick up things on the road or lock their doors at night, but the safety of the royal city was still guaranteed.
But even in such a safe place, in broad daylight, Xu Minghui was abducted from the street.
If this gets out...
Sang Zhixia clenched the reins in her hands and began to have a headache for no apparent reason.
She should have guessed who had snatched Xu Minghui away.
That person's words...
Sangzhi Xia was so sad that she showed no emotion.
Xu Mingyang was still furious: "That's too much!"
"This is really too much!"
"How dare you be so arrogant in broad daylight?!"
Xu Mingyang said angrily, "And when I chased after her, that woman was very domineering and told me to go find her at the Nan family if I dared. She also said she would never let my brother go back!"
The Nan family...
Sang Zhixia's mood became increasingly complicated. After Xu Mingyang's anger subsided a little, she raised an eyebrow and asked, "Was it Nan Weiwei who kidnapped your brother?"
Is this the confidante that Jiang Yubai mentioned before their family entered Lingnan?
Xu Mingyang had never met Nan Weiwei before, so he blinked uncertainly: "Sister-in-law, I don't know."
"But that person did say he was going to the Nan family to look for someone."
Sang Zhixia exclaimed, with an expression that was indescribably playful.
She had heard of Nan Weiwei's name a long time ago.
After all, in Jiang Yubai's words, this woman was the one who loved Xu Minghui deeply and had promised to spend her life with him.
Before arriving in the royal city, Xu Minghui was taken away and interrogated for a long time by Aunt Xu because of this matter.
It was only because Xu Minghui kept denying it, and there was no follow-up, and it didn't seem like anything really happened, that the matter was reluctantly covered up.
Sang Zhixia from the Nan family, where Nan Weiwei came from, also knew about it.
The Lingnan Wang lineage only arrived in Lingnan more than ten years ago, and the Nan family is different.
The Nan family is a powerful family that has been entrenched in Lingnan for a hundred years. It is no exaggeration to say that they are the local tyrants.
What is even more rare is that this rare local tyrant is also loyal to the Lingnan King's lineage.
When the King of Lingnan first arrived in Lingnan and was restricted everywhere, he contributed money, labor and manpower without any hesitation.
The Nan family originally had a large population, but unfortunately, in a conflict between Lingnan and Ranwu ten years ago, the Nan family led the charge.
This battle lasted for three years, and during these three years, only a few members of the Nan family were left.
Nan Weiwei is the only descendant of the Nan family patriarch who died in battle, and is also the only child of this generation of the Nan family.
After the war, all the men in the Nan family died, leaving only a widow.
Nan Weiwei grew up under the protection of these elders in her family and was protected by the remaining glory of her ancestors. She was considered to be a leader among the noble ladies in the Lingnan Royal City and was also very much favored by the King of Lingnan.
It is no exaggeration to say that Nan Weiwei is almost equivalent to the adopted daughter of the King of Lingnan.
Nan Weiwei, however, ignored all the other young masters in Lingnan Royal City and fell in love with Xu Minghui, who was rolling in the woods covered in mud.
The rumors Jiang Yubai had mentioned before were somewhat groundless, but one thing was true: Xu Minghui was indeed favored by someone, and the enthusiasm was passionate.
The customs in Lingnan are more unrestrained than those in the Central Plains. The separation between men and women is not so strict, and people often make fun of love affairs in a good-natured way, without any contempt.
Nan Weiwei has developed an outspoken personality since she was young, and she must get whatever she likes.
Even if Xu Minghui is not a piece of jewelry or a plaything, the man she fell in love with at first sight must marry her.
What’s hateful is that Xu Minghui’s identity is also special.
The eldest son of the second branch of the Xu family, with the entire Xu family behind him.
There is the old man of the Xu family who is in charge above, Aunt Xu as his mother in the middle, and an elder brother and sister-in-law who are not easy to offend outside.
Xu Minghui himself is not an easy person to deal with.
Due to these factors, the current head of the Nan family, the old lady who is also Nan Weiwei's grandmother, thought about it for several days and felt that Xu Minghui was still not suitable to be the son-in-law of the Nan family.
It would be fine if Xu Minghui was just a good-for-nothing with a pretty face, but the Nan family has mountains of gold and silver, and their family wealth is rich enough to squander for three lifetimes.
If Nan Weiwei really likes him, then she can accept him as her son-in-law. With the elders of the Nan family watching over her, I believe Xu Minghui would not dare to act rashly.
But Xu Minghui is not someone who can be controlled.
The old lady of the Nan family had a sharp eye and could see at a glance that Xu Minghui was out of control.
Such a person may seem gentle, but in fact he is cruel and cold-hearted.
Nan Weiwei was full of enthusiasm, but she couldn't even last three rounds in front of Xu Minghui.
Even with the care of the elders of the Nan family, Nan Weiwei could only suffer losses in front of Xu Minghui.
What's more, Xu Minghui also made it clear directly in front of the elders of the Nan family that he had no intersection with Nan Weiwei in the past, and he would never try to get close to her in the future.
The concubine has a lover but the man is not interested. Nan Weiwei's passion for love bumps into the unbreakable ice of Xu Minghui.
The elders of the Nan family cannot see any good outcome from this one-sided pursuit.
The old lady of the Nan family simply made up her mind and tied up Nan Weiwei, who was causing rumors everywhere, and sent her to another place to recuperate before the Xu family entered the city. She wanted to use this opportunity to stop Nan Weiwei from thinking about her and avoid any further trouble.
So, the Xu family members entered the city full of curiosity, and Nan Weiwei had already been sent out of the royal city.
Therefore, after so much time has passed, most people in the Xu family have long forgotten the name Nan Weiwei, and Xu Minghui never mentioned it again.
Only Sang Zhixia still remembers it clearly.
Xu Mingyang noticed that Sang Zhixia's expression was really strange. He was stunned for a moment and said, "Sister-in-law, do you know this person named Nan Weiwei?"
Sang Zhixia said in a cryptic way, "I've never met him in person."
"but……"
"I've been interacting with a few of the Nan family's managers lately, and they've helped our family quite a bit."
The Nan family has been rooted in Lingnan for many years, and the caravan routes and manpower they control are beyond imagination.
When Sang Zhixia sent large quantities of supplies to the battlefield, people may have heard something and spared no effort in terms of transportation routes and manpower and vehicles.
When Sang Zhixia sent people to discuss the matter of money, the people of the Nan family only said that they were from the same Lingnan family, and in times of crisis, they should be of the same blood and there was no need to be formal.
Although later on due to Sang Zhixia's insistence, 80% of the price was paid, but the Nan family refused to accept the remaining 20%, which was a real debt of favor.
In other words, Sang Zhixia actually owes the Nan family a favor, and it's a pretty big one.
Xu Mingyang let out a cry of confusion.
Sang Zhixia's smile was somewhat bitter: "It's really hard to repay a debt of favor..."
I owe him such a huge favor, I can't just rush in with a knife and attack him just because Xu Minghui was kidnapped by Nan Weiwei.
But……
Xu Minghui was snatched away on the street...
but……
Xu Minghui is such a big man, even if he can't beat Nan Weiwei, he shouldn't let himself suffer too much for a while, right? ? ?
At least I won’t be taken advantage of by force???
Sang Zhixia was so overwhelmed with emotions that she didn't know what to say. After a long while, she sighed and said, "Lingchu, hurry up and return to the city. Prepare a generous gift for my previous visit to the prince. Also..."
"Also, send a visiting card to the old lady of the Nan family in my name, saying that I will visit the Nan family in two hours today."
I'm afraid it's impossible to go to their house and take it back.
Try another approach.
redemption!
Lingchu took the order and left quickly.
Xu Mingyang thought for a long time and couldn't help asking: "Sister-in-law?"
"how?"
Xu Mingyang held his breath cautiously: "My brother...can he still be redeemed?"
