Chapter 126 The Wang Family is Getting Better
The Wang family is more powerful than Wen Ling imagined.
Originally, Wen Ling thought that they were mortals without any magical powers and would not be able to hold on for long.
Unexpectedly, their willpower was beyond her imagination, and their sincerity was also very strong.
Wen Ling originally estimated that with their ability and speed, it would take about half a month to complete the salvation. Unexpectedly, when she came here today, she found that the salvation was already coming to an end.
There are less than thirty unlucky souls trapped in the big locust tree. I guess once my second and third uncles take turns, this round will be over soon.
Gu Chenran's grandfather was free at this time and specially came to receive Wen Ling and Gu Chenran.
Grandfather took Wen Ling aside and asked about her well-being: "A Ling, I haven't seen you for a few days. How was it? Was the royal hunting fun? Did you participate in it yourself?"
"You didn't go hunting yourself? That's okay. It's just horseback hunting. What's the fun in that? If you like, your grandfather can send someone to help you hunt some live animals and keep them in the backyard. You can hunt whenever you want."
"You don't know how to ride a horse or shoot a bow? That's okay. Let Chen Ran teach you. He's great at riding a horse and shooting a bow. He's hiding it on purpose. If he can't teach you, we'll all laugh at his incompetence in the future."
Gu Chenran didn’t know what Wen Ling was thinking, but he was extremely shocked and the corners of his mouth twitched when he heard it.
Is this still the grandfather who was known for his strictness?
Everyone in the court, whether civil or military, knew that Wang Zhizheng was a famously strict old-fashioned man, otherwise he would not have been the Grand Tutor.
When Gu Chenran's mother first came to the capital, she was a saint who was paid tribute by the neighboring Yuejian Kingdom.
But when she was in the palace, my grandmother felt that this saint was familiar at first sight, and she looked very much like her sister from the same mother.
When my grandmother's sister got married, she married the wrong man. She married a family that favored their concubine over their wife.
The favored concubine was so bold that she sold the newly born daughter of her grandmother's sister, and was even bold enough to replace her with a monkey.
They slandered my grandmother's sister for giving birth to a monkey, saying that she gave birth to a monster that would bring misfortune to the family.
But my grandmother's sister clearly remembered that she gave birth to a fair and clean baby girl!
If my grandmother hadn’t gone to visit my sister in time and discovered that my sister, who had just given birth, was like an animal and locked up in a cowshed because she had given birth to a monster, her family would not have known about this!
Later, my grandmother made a big scene at my sister's husband's house, sought justice for my sister, exposed the true face of the favored concubine, and allowed my sister to divorce and return home.
My sister's husband's family also paid a price, but the daughter who was sold by the favored concubine could never be found again.
My grandmother's sister was in poor health to begin with, and her health became even worse after such a shock. Coupled with the blow of losing her daughter, she became seriously ill within a few years and passed away.
Her only wish before she passed away was to tell her grandmother that she must never give up looking for her daughter, and if she found her, she should treat her daughter as her own.
Unexpectedly, my grandmother actually found it. More than ten years later, my sister's daughter became the Saint of the Moon Kingdom.
No wonder there has been no news of him for so many years, it turns out he was sold abroad.
Later, the grandmother recognized the saint by the birthmark on her neck. She also fulfilled her promise and adopted the saint as the daughter of the Wang family, named her Wang Meian, hoping that she would have a happy and peaceful life.
When Wang Meian entered the palace, the Wang family also sent her into the palace as her mother's family.
After Gu Chenran was born, he treated Gu Chenran like his own nephew.
Gu Chenran knew everything that happened back then. In his mind, there was no concept of closeness or not. The Wang family was his maternal family.
Wang Zhizheng loved his wife's younger sister's daughter, Wang Meian, very much. He had never had a daughter in his life, but he treated her like his own daughter and even spent most of her dowry to save up.
But despite this, Wang Zhizheng's love for Wang Mei'an cannot compare to his love for Wen Ling.
His love for Wen Ling is more than just love, it can be described as doting.
Gu Chenran had no doubt that if Wen Ling told him now that she had been treated unfairly outside.
The old man in his family can just rush into someone's house to argue.
Wen Ling shook his head and said, "Don't bother me, Grandfather. I am busy doing good deeds and practicing every day. I have too many things to do every day and have no time to hunt. Anyway, I hunt for food. As long as I have food, it's fine.
We brought a lot of wild rabbits this time, so we thought we'd come over to see the situation here and bring you some delicious food. ”
Only then did Wang Zhizheng see the wild rabbit they brought. He actually didn't like eating game and had little appetite.
But when he saw the game that Wen Ling brought, he smiled and said, "Oh, this is great! Ah Ling is so thoughtful that he even thought of Grandpa when he had something to eat!"
Wang Zhizheng now speaks with a strong and loud voice, and the impact of bad luck on the Wang family is visibly disappearing.
Gu Chenran asked: "I see that Grandpa looks good. Is he feeling better? Has the headache come back?"
Wang Zhizheng smiled and said, "I haven't had a headache since then. I rested well and feel very healthy. I feel like if I go back to the court now, I can still argue with them for another 300 rounds. As for those officials who have just been promoted, they are no match for me. I have been annoyed with some officials for a long time!"
Seeing that Grandfather was ready to make a move, Gu Chenran raised his eyebrows and asked, "Has Grandfather already decided on a time to return to the court?"
Grandfather did not hide it: "Almost. In fact, the emperor has been sending people to ask about my health regularly. I feel that the emperor should be very clear about the current situation in the court. There are too few loyal ministers and capable people. The promotion path in the court is controlled and will soon become a one-man show for certain people.
That’s why the Emperor didn’t let me retire and return home even though I was ill for so many years. He has always placed his hopes on me, hoping that I could go back.
I have already told the people sent by the Emperor that not only my health has improved, but your three uncles' health has also improved. We were victimized by someone back then, and we have found a way to solve the problem.
The emperor was very happy and secretly assigned me some tasks, asking us to conduct investigations in secret. When the investigation was completed, I would bring the results back to the court. The position of Left Prime Minister would still be reserved for me. ”
When talking about the court and the emperor, Wang Zhizheng's face became much more serious, and he exuded the majesty that only important officials could have.
Wang Zhizheng has to be serious, he must make achievements that will be passed down through the ages, otherwise he would not be able to get an official position until now, and he would not be able to stay with his wife down there forever!
Gu Chenran nodded: "Then let's wait until my grandfather and uncles return to the court and gain a foothold, and then let the outside world know that I am no longer paralyzed and have completely recovered to normal."
