Chapter 734: Going Down the Mountain
Wei Shuangyan's laughter became louder and louder, and more and more crazy.
Wei Zihang was laughing so hard that he felt a little anxious and looked around.
Although they have arranged everything for Prince Jiping's Mansion, it would not be good to be too conspicuous.
However, there are quite a few crazy people in this prison, and the noise is very noisy. Wei Shuangyan's smile with a bit of madness is not abrupt at all.
Wei Zihang breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt inexplicably sad.
He felt depressed and sat down against the cell railing, waiting for Wei Shuangyan to finish laughing.
Wei Shuangyan took a long time to stop laughing. She squinted at her brother who was leaning against the railing and looked listless. "Why don't you ask me what I'm laughing at?"
Wei Zihang pursed his lips and said, "Second sister, laugh whatever you want to laugh."
Wei Shuangyan chuckled, her voice still hoarse and unpleasant: "I laughed at Yu Mingzhu's hustle and bustle, but in the end she was just a chicken occupying the phoenix's nest, hahaha! I'm still laughing, I said that I didn't like Yu Xingxing, it turns out that she is that man's biological sister! Wonderful, wonderful!"
Wei Shuangyan smiled and shook her head.
Wei Zihang became more and more depressed.
Although the Xin Guo Mansion no longer pursued the matter of Wei Shuangyan, but given the relationship between the two mansions, his second sister and the Xin Guo Mansion's second master had caused such an ugly situation, he would never be able to marry Xing Xing in this lifetime.
Although Xingxing was previously conferred the title of princess, Wei Zihang felt that the gap between him and Xingxing was getting bigger and bigger, and he was a little depressed, but he actually encouraged himself secretly in his heart. He was still young, and if he worked hard to pass the imperial examination or gain some military merit, he might have a chance to marry the girl of his dreams - although the chance was slim, but at least it gave him a hope, right?
But now, it is completely gone, not even a trace of possibility.
…
Yu Yongliu and Princess Qing'an got married soon.
The wedding ceremony was grand and splendid, and was talked about with great relish for years thereafter, until Princess Fusui got married. Only then was it forgotten - but that is a story for another time.
Bai Xiaofeng was worried for several days, until Princess Qing'an came to serve her tea on the second day after her wedding. She called her "mother" with a shy smile, and Bai Xiaofeng's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.
Although Bai Xiaofeng said that this was her first time being a mother-in-law, before the wedding, Wei Pozi and Li Chunhua told her that regardless of their status, daughters-in-law are also the apple of their parents' eyes before they get married. Bai Xiaofeng just thought about how she would feel if Xingxing got married and was bullied by her mother-in-law.
Just put yourself in their shoes.
Bai Xiaofeng tried hard to smile, hiding her nervousness. She was a little stiff, but she tried her best to express her goodwill to Princess Qing'an.
Bai Xiaofeng said that in the future, Princess Qing'an would not have to visit her every morning and evening. Besides, she was used to having meals with her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law in the main courtyard, so Princess Qing'an did not have to come over to eat with her. Everything could be discussed by the couple.
As for other things, the Yu family has not yet been divided, and the four mistresses take turns to manage the internal affairs.
If we encounter any major issues, we should discuss it together.
Bai Xiaofeng added that if Yu Yongliu bullied the princess, the princess could just tell the elders, and the elders would never let the princess suffer any grievances at home.
Princess Qing'an glanced at Yu Yongliu with a blushing face and responded shyly.
Seeing that the couple had such a good relationship, and that Princess Qing'an's noble status did not make it difficult to get along with them as Bai Xiaofeng had secretly worried, the Yu family finally breathed a sigh of relief.
…
After Yu Yongliu got married, the Yu family had nothing else to do for a while, and Xingxing's life seemed to become leisurely all of a sudden.
Although Jiao wanted her daughter Xingxing to accept her, she was, after all, the wife of the eldest son of the Duke of Xin's Mansion. She was in charge of the mansion's financial support and had to take care of the marriages of her two sons. For a while, she did not bother Xingxing much. However, whenever there were some fresh fruits and vegetables delivered from the Duke of Xin's Mansion, Jiao would always have someone send a cartload to the Yu family.
Of course, Jiao did not forget Yu Mingzhu who lived in her dowry house, and she also did not leave out any fresh fruits and vegetables.
But, after all, it's not as good as before.
Zou Wanshi's affairs were like a thorn in Jiao's heart.
Besides, the case of the extermination of the Zou family was still in progress. Jiao persuaded herself that she did not intend to distance herself from Mingzhu, but just wanted to avoid suspicion.
——Other than that, Xingxing's life is pretty leisurely.
However, recently some people went to the old lady of Duke Xin, hoping to arrange a marriage for Xingxing.
Although it is a good thing that a daughter of one family will be sought after by hundreds of families, the old lady of Duke Xin did not treat the matchmaker well and directly sent the guest away: "…The Yu family has worked hard to raise Xingxing to this age. If you really want to find a good family for Xingxing, you should ask the Yu family to marry her. You dare to come to me to propose marriage, but I am not so bold as to make the decision for Xingxing!"
This news spread quickly, but Jiao heard it from the other lady. She felt very aggrieved - she was Xingxing's biological mother, but she could not make any decisions for Xingxing.
What about the Yu family? Even though they raised Xingxing very well, they were a small family after all and didn't have much foresight. What would they do if Xingxing really married into a family they didn't like?
The prince Yu Shanglian was more open-minded: "...The Yu family has raised Xingxing well and never had any problems. Xingxing is only willing to acknowledge her grandparents as her father and mother, and she is not willing to call us father and mother. Don't act like a real mother. We have never raised her for a day, so how can we be so qualified? Just relax."
Jiao family...what else can Jiao family do?
No matter how unwilling she was, she had to endure it.
Just when everything seemed peaceful in the capital, something went wrong on the border of Daxia.
It was said that a group of barbaric bandits passed through the border, and they penetrated into the territory of Daxia like a sharp knife, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil!
The Nanman tribe, to which this gang of barbaric bandits belongs, has deployed troops on the border, ready to make a move, with evil intentions!
Emperor Jiazheng was furious!
All the generals in the court requested to go to war!
Just when the situation was reaching a climax, an 800-km urgent secret report arrived on the desk of Wei Shiqing of the Eastern Palace.
When Wei Shiqing saw the special pattern on the secret report, his expression changed slightly - this was the pattern on the letters between him and his second brother Wei Shiyan.
When Wei Shiqing opened the secret letter, he suddenly stood up from his chair!
This secret letter was written by Qin Da Gongfeng, who was practicing in seclusion in the mountains with Wei Shiyan.
Wei Shiqing's face was as cold as ice. He took the secret letter into the palace like a whirlwind and presented it to Emperor Jiazheng and Empress Nie.
Empress Nie almost fainted when she saw it.
The secret letter said that Wei Shiyan went down the mountain alone to pursue the gang of bandits and disappeared without a trace!
And now, there is still a month left before Li Wei Shiyan’s 18th birthday!
Empress Nie was about to collapse, and fell into the arms of Emperor Jiazheng: "...Ayan is not even eighteen years old, but he came down the mountain so suddenly, what will happen to him?"
