Even though the scenery of this royal manor is very beautiful, if something like this happened, neither Wei Yingzhi nor Shen Huiran had the intention to stay. Fortunately, the two of them were only able to follow the grace given by Concubine Ruigui. Concubine Rui Gui didn't ask any more questions, just instructed them a few words and let them go back to the house with Shen Xinyan.

As for the follow-up, it was completely left to Wei Chenglin.

On the way back to the mansion, Shen Huiran was close to Shen Xinyan, her face full of fear.

Knowing that the second son of the Zhou family broke into the wooden house by mistake, and that she was not violated by anyone, she was finally relieved.

If she really lost her innocence, she would rather die.

Shen Xinyan patted the back of her hand, comforting silently.

In the whole incident, the niece is the most innocent. She has never done anything, not even the eldest son, she has never had the same thoughts as in her previous life, but because of her status as a 'cousin', she was eventually involved. .

"Auntie, I want to go home, to the uncle's mansion." Shen Huiran said softly.

Shen Xinyan lowered her eyes, wrapped her arms around her shoulders, and responded in a low voice, "Okay, auntie will take Huier home."

She knew that her niece had more or less guessed the reason for her experience. After experiencing some danger, people only want to return to a safe place. The safest place in the world is just one's own home.

No matter how good the government is, it is not her home after all.

He instructed the driver to turn around and head to Jing Anbo Mansion, and the three people in the car sat tightly together, speechless.

"Mother, cousin Hui probably won't come to our house for a long time." Wei Yingzhi sighed when she returned to the Duke's Mansion.

Shen Xinyan patted her shoulder: "Okay, let's change clothes first!"

The eldest princess is not a stupid person, and Shen Xinyan doesn't have such great ability to hide from her, so she will tell her what happened in the summer resort one by one.

After hearing this, the eldest princess frowned, and she was silent for a long time, and said, "That niece of your mother's family, I think it's not bad, it's not a bad idea to kiss and kiss."

Shen Xinyan was surprised that she would think of this.

In the past, she might have followed the boat, but now she has no such thoughts.

"Mother sees Huier, it is Huier's blessing, and it is also an affirmation for her daughter-in-law. But now..." She sighed softly, "Let's take it easy for a while!"

The eldest princess also understood that after such an incident, the girl must have some ideas in her heart, so she did not force it, sighed, and only thought that the marriage of the eldest grandson was so unhappy!

After half a month, the good news that the crown princess was pregnant came from the summer resort, and after a few days, the imperial driver set off for Beijing.

"Master Shizi has an errand, and I'm afraid he won't be able to come back in a while." The imperial driver returned to the capital, but he didn't want Wei Chenglin to come back with him. Shen Xinyan was puzzled, and the bodyguard Wei Chenglin sent back to report came to report.

Something wrong again? Shen Xinyan frowned: "Do you know what the errand is? When will you be back?"

"I don't know." The man lowered his head.

Shen Xinyan did not intend to embarrass him and let him leave.

"Not only did Zhimo, who was beside the eldest son, not come back, but even Shishu and Ping Yan took them away. Madam, I see that the errand of the eldest son this time seems a little difficult." Chunliu said softly.

Shen Xin had a worried look on her brows, how could she not be clear about this layer.

"Mother, Daddy has a letter back." While worried, Wei Yingzhi happily walked in holding the letter.

Shen Xinyan smiled and took it over and read it briefly, folded the letter, and saw her daughter's eyes sparkling with a sly smile on her face: "Mother, what did Dad say in the letter?"

"It's a very important thing."

"What's the matter?" Wei Yingzhi asked curiously.

"Your father said that he would return to the manor as soon as possible to prepare for your marriage with Yunfu."

Wei Yingzhi suddenly blushed.

Shen Xinyan put her arms around her and smiled: "Now Yunfu can finally feel relieved, and there is no need to ask people to find out when the prince will return to Beijing every now and then."

Wei Yingzhi was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to lift her head, she said like a mosquito: "He does all these stupid things..."

Shen Xinyan hugged her and smiled for a while.

Since Wei Junhang wrote that she would return to Beijing as soon as possible, she had to prepare for the engagement first. Taking advantage of the free day, she went to the warehouse in person and began to organize the dowry for her daughter.

After so many years of accumulation, the dowry she and Wei Junhang prepared for Wei Yingzhi was already quite considerable, plus the part given by the eldest princess, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a red makeup.

"Look, Madam, how does this Phoenix jade pendant smell?" Chun Liu suddenly exclaimed, walking towards her with a brocade box, opening the brocade box and handing it to her.

Shen Xinyan took a look and recognized that this was the betrothal token she gave to the Changning County Master. She had asked Wei Chenglin to return it to her back then. She felt a little uncomfortable looking at it, so she put it in the warehouse and locked it.

She took out the jade pendant and sniffed it carefully, and found that there was indeed a faint scent, the scent was like osmanthus, but when you smelled it carefully, it felt like an orchid, and when you smelled it again, it was like something else The smell of flowers.

"It's so strange, how could this Ruirui's jade pendant have such a scent after being kept in the warehouse for so long." Chun Liu was puzzled.

Shen Xinyan was silent for a moment, and put the jade pendant back into the brocade box: "Find a doctor to take a closer look, and see if the scent is wrong."

Chun Liu took it over and quickly went to ask the doctor to take a look.

"I looked for several doctors, but I couldn't see why they came."

Is that so?

Shen Xinyan stared at the phoenix jade pendant on the square table, for some reason she always felt a little uneasy.

"Not long ago, I heard that the Lord of Changning County returned to the capital, is there any such thing?" she asked suddenly.

"That's true. The county master came back at the end of last month. It is said that she is already in good health. The princess was so eager to leave her on the mountain that she was no longer at ease, so she brought her back." Chunliu replied. .

"The county master was the jade pendant returned by Brother Tuo Lin when he left the capital. After being recuperated in the mountains for several years, she is in good shape now. The jade pendant she returned back then has been kept in the warehouse for all these years and has never been touched by anyone... "Shen Xinyan caressed the jade pendant on her wrist, thoughtfully.

"Madam's meaning... Could it be that you suspect that the illness of the county master was related to this jade pendant?" Chun Liu was shocked.

"I just feel a little uneasy in my heart, and there is such a vague guess, if it really is the problem of this jade pendant..." Shen Xinyan didn't dare to think about it.

If it really is the problem of the jade pendant, then the good marriage that year was calculated, but I don't know whether it was a mistake in my own house or a mistake in Ning Wang's house.

It's just that no matter what, the Changning County Master suffered such a crime in vain.

"But I remember clearly that when this jade pendant was handed over, it didn't have such a strange smell. If it had, how could I not have found it, after all, it has been kept by me all the time." Chunliu bit her lips lightly, Try to recall.

Shen Xinyan sighed: "Put it away first, and ask the imperial physician to take a look at it another day."

After instructing Chunliu to put away the brocade box, and seeing that it was almost time, she went to the eldest princess to say goodbye.

Going around the floor-to-ceiling screen, happened to see Mother Xu coming out beside the eldest princess.

"How well does Mother eat dinner?" she asked with a smile.

"I received the letter from the grandfather of the country. His Highness is in a good mood. He used half a bowl of porridge more than before. He will be talking to the fourth young master in it! Madam, please come in quickly." Madam Xu replied with a smile.

Shen Xinyan walked past her, and just took a few steps, when she suddenly felt that she was grabbed by Mama Xu at the wrist.

"Wait, ma'am!"

"Mammy?" Shen Xinyan was surprised, wondering why she held her so recklessly, but found that the other party's face seemed a little wrong.

"The fragrance on the lady's body seems to be a little different, but is it contaminated from nowhere?"

Shen Xinyan looked at her in surprise, her mind moved, and she suddenly remembered that she had heard from the eldest princess that she had mentioned in a chat that Mammy Xu was a good incense maker.

"It came from a piece of jade pendant that has not been used for a long time." She answered tentatively.

"Madam, can you show me that jade pendant?" Madam Xu asked.

"Of course, Chun Liu, hurry up and fetch that jade pendant." Shen Xinyan had no reason to refuse, and hurriedly ordered Chun Liu behind her.

When he entered the room, he saw Wei Chengqi sitting upright at the bottom, listening intently to what the eldest princess had to say.

"... Although your mother's opinion is important, your own thoughts are more important. If you want, you can go to the Imperial College and continue your studies, even if you don't need to take the imperial examinations, but it's always better to read more books. For the blessing of Lord Hou, I have never left my homework in Guozijian at this moment." The eldest princess said earnestly and earnestly.

"The grandson understands what the grandmother said, but, just...the grandson still wants to find an errand." Wei Chengqi still insisted with hesitation on his face.

There was a bit of disappointment in the eldest princess' eyes.

Obviously, he doesn't like being an official at all, and just wants to focus on his studies, but because his mother doesn't agree, so he doesn't even dare to insist on it?

That's all, the children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and she can't control that much anymore.

"Since you insist, grandmother will fulfill your wish!"

The grandparents and grandsons also saw Shen Xinyan walking in at this time, and after some greetings, Wei Chengqi left.

"Is there any news about Brother Lin?" As soon as the eldest princess saw her, she asked the eldest grandson, who had yet to hear any news.

"I haven't received any news yet." Shen Xinyan shook her head.

The eldest princess sighed and said worriedly, Zhong Zhong: "I only found out yesterday that Brother Lin took away all the people his grandfather left him, and what kind of errand did he do? For?"

Shen Xinyan's heart suddenly changed, and even her face changed.

"Do you want me to ask Yunfu to inquire tomorrow?"

"I've already asked, but Yunfu's side is not clear." The eldest princess was even more worried.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were relatively silent for a while.

After Shen Xinyan left, Mama Xu, who had been waiting outside, walked in, holding the brocade box that contained the token she gave to Prince Ning's mansion back then.

"His Royal Highness, I have something to report. I'm afraid that the illness of the Changning County Master was man-made!"

Funing House.

"Mother Yu Pei Xu took it away?" Back in the house, Shen Xinyan learned of this from Chun Liu. .

"If Madam thinks it's not suitable, I'll go back again."

"No need, take it away and take it away. Mammy Xu can take it away. I want to have a look. In the end, I'm afraid it's still up to my mother. It's better. It saves me trouble." She shook her head, stopping her from going out.

Wei Chenglin came back half a month later, and with him came the ashes of the guard Ping Yan. As for the guards who came back alive, Zhimo, Shishu and other guards also had large and small injuries on their bodies.

Wei Chenglin is no exception.

Looking at the long stab wound on Changsun's abdomen, the eldest princess couldn't lift it up in one breath, and immediately fainted.

Immediately, there was chaos in the house.

After everything returned to calm, the eldest princess took Wei Chenglin's hand and burst into tears.

"God has no eyes, God has no eyes!"

Shen Xinyan clenched the veil tightly in her hands, so far she couldn't recover from the words of the imperial doctor just now.

"...The injury of the prince...I'm afraid it will be difficult for the heir in the future." The voice just fell, and the eldest princess, who had just woken up not long ago, fainted again, but even Shen Xinyan's legs were weak and she almost fell to the ground.

Is the offspring difficult?

The gray-haired old doctor's face was full of sympathy. It would be a pity if such an outstanding man could not have descendants.

"Grandmother..." Wei Chenglin curled the corners of his mouth bitterly, "Fate should be like this, grandson doesn't dare to complain, but fortunately there is brother Xiang. It's just that he has failed his grandfather's years of careful teaching."

The eldest princess wiped away her tears, and only pulled him to call 'God's injustice'.

The most outstanding eldest son of the previous generation is gone, and the greatest hope of the younger generation has ended up like this...

Fang Shi, who was outside the door, heard everything clearly, and his body trembled slightly with excitement.

Is the offspring difficult? That is really an eye-opener!

How could he have a good end if he sat in a position that did not belong to him!

Without heirs, why does he still sit on the throne of this prince? Without Wei Chenglin in the second room, do you still have to rely on Wei Chengxiang, the milk doll? It can be seen that God still favors her.

"Mother don't want to do this. The Queen's doctor can't be cured. Let's ask a few more doctors for diagnosis and treatment. If it doesn't work, we will hire famous doctors. There will always be a way to cure." With a worried expression, he walked up to the eldest princess and persuaded softly.

"You want to spread it all over the capital, don't you?! In the past, I only regarded you as a good person. I never thought that you were hiding bad intentions and framed Lin Ge'er to defeat his wife. This would make him have a reputation for being childless, and so on. It's just that you've got what you want!" Unexpectedly, the eldest princess would have a sudden attack, pointing at her nose and scolding.

Fang Shi was so scolded by her that she almost stopped breathing, she knelt on the ground with a 'plop', and cried, "I'm wronged, my daughter-in-law is a huge injustice!"

Shen Xinyan was taken aback, and then she gave Chun Liu a wink.

Chun Liu understood in his heart, quietly retreated, and ordered no one to approach, so he stayed far away from the courtyard gate.

"Bah, do you think I'm that old and confused? What did you do secretly back then? Why did the Princess Changning get seriously ill for no reason? Then how could the girl from the Xie family have the guts to elope with someone when she is so good? One thing, do you want me to throw the evidence directly on Brother Qi's face, so that he can see what a vicious person his mother is!" The eldest princess spewed fire from her eyes and slammed into Mrs. Fang's face. Go up spit, scolded mercilessly.

Over the past few days, one incident after another has been found, which has given her a heavy blow. Now that the most important eldest grandson has an accident again, it is like the straw that broke the camel's back, and she has completely collapsed.

"The family is unfortunate. With this poisonous woman, it was because I had no eyes in the past, which caused the situation today!" The eldest princess was full of tears, and she was extremely sad and angry.

Shen Xinyan stared at Mrs Fang in disbelief, watching the blood on her face fade little by little, but she still insisted on her life to cry for injustice.

"The mother was wronged, the mother was wronged, all of this has nothing to do with the daughter-in-law!"

"So, you were the one who caused the county master's life to fail?" Wei Chenglin's face was ashen, trying to suppress the anger in his heart, his fists clenched tightly, as if he would rush out the next moment, and face the hypocritical face heavily. smash down.

The Princess Changning was his first fiancée. If she hadn't suddenly become seriously ill, he would have married her long ago.

He may not have taken the initiative to Changning County, but the woman who was praised by his grandmother, mother, and even his sister, and who missed him, would always leave a trace in his heart. It has nothing to do with men and women, but it cannot be denied of.

However, that woman almost died, but it was the work of his great aunt whom he always respected!

Fang Shi desperately shook his head.

She can't admit it, can't admit it, she can't let Brother Qi know, can't let Brother Qi know...

However, when she saw Wei Chengqi standing at the door with a white face, she felt like she had fallen into an ice cave.

"What grandmother and grandmother said are true, right? Mother, you, you really almost harmed the county master back then? Did you use any means to let the Xie family girl run away?" Wei Chengqi's face was pale and pale, and his body was not She stopped trembling, but she still walked towards Fang Shi step by step, staring closely at her eyes.

Fang Shi had all kinds of sophistry, and looked at his son's eyes full of pain, but couldn't say a word, just covered his mouth and shook his head.

Seeing this, Chunliu, who was chasing over to stop Wei Chengqi, hurriedly retreated again. This time, he personally found two strong women to guard the courtyard gate, and determined not to let anyone in.

If the words in the house were spread out, I'm afraid that there will be a long time to come, and there will be no peace in the house for a moment.

"It's not me, Brother Qi, it's not me..." Apart from saying this back and forth, Mrs Fang couldn't say anything else.

She was afraid, really afraid. She had never been so afraid at this moment, afraid of seeing the disappointment on her son's face, which was the disappointment to her mother.

Her son has always been well-behaved and filial, never going against her will, and she never thought that one day he would see his disappointment in his face.

"Grandma, I want to see the evidence, okay?" Wei Chengqi ignored her and walked towards the eldest princess.

The eldest princess did not expect him to appear suddenly, and the timing of his appearance was just as good, and his mood was quite complicated.

She has always loved and loved the only bloodline left by the eldest son. Although his temper is a little weaker, his heart is soft and his mind is clear.

What she just said about "smashing the evidence on Brother Qi's face" was just an angry statement, she never thought of putting those filthy things in front of him, breaking the beauty of his heart toward his biological mother and his family.

She opened her mouth and was about to refuse, when Mrs Fang rushed over, knelt on the ground and cried loudly, "Mother, I was wrong, I was wrong, I really knew I was wrong..."

Those tearful eyes were full of prayers, asking her to preserve her last dignity as a mother for herself.

Because Fang Shi is very clear, if the eldest princess makes a move, she will definitely find more than these two things, there must be other things she has done.

Wei Chengqi shook his body, his lips trembled slightly, he opened his mouth to say something, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't say a word.

"From now on, you will recuperate in peace in Jingdetang. Except for the two maids who are serving you, no one is allowed to enter or leave at will!" After a long time, the eldest princess took a deep breath and stared at her crying. Fang Shi, who is a little decent, speaks every word.

Fang Shi fell to the ground, unable to say anything except crying.

Recuperating, how could she have any disease to recuperate, mother, she completely hates herself! Maybe after a while, she will die silently.

Wei Chengqi knelt down in front of the eldest princess with a plop, and said in a hoarse voice, "Grandmother, grandson is not filial, grandson dared to ask grandmother to preside over and let the eldest room and the second room separate."

Fang's cry stopped, and she stared at her son with wide eyes. She couldn't believe that such words came from her son who was always obedient and obedient.

"Brother Qi, what nonsense are you talking about, the elders are there, why do you have to be a junior to divide the family!" Shen Xinyan stopped.

Even Wei Chenglin looked at him disapprovingly: "Fourth brother, don't talk about this."

On the contrary, the eldest princess looked at him without blinking: "You insist on doing this?"

"Grandson is not filial!" Wei Chengqi lowered his head, but his tone was extremely firm.

"You're crazy! You want to be stabbed in the spine, don't you?!" Mr. Fang rushed over to cover his mouth angrily, and stopped him saying such absurd words.

If the family is separated, the long house will be completely lost to the title, so why did she do so many things? Obviously, Wei Chenglin can't have children now, Wei Chengxiang is young, and the title of nobility is one step closer to the long room.

"Please grandmother!" Wei Chengqi avoided her, and his voice became a little louder.

"Okay, since you insist on doing this, then I will fulfill you. I will give you a clear division of all the properties, but people still have to live in one place, only one day when I close my eyes and kick my legs,If you want to move, move away!" The eldest princess waved her hand weakly, and her whole person became a lot older in an instant.

Shen Xinyan hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

The eldest princess gently pushed her hand away: "Go back and fetch the account book and key, while I still have a breath, divide this house first!"

"Mother!"

"grandmother!"

The crowd immediately knelt on the ground.
