I originally thought that without Wei Junhang and Wei Chenglin in this country's mansion, they could be rounded and flattened by anyone. I never thought that even a woman's family would be a hard bone.

In his opinion, this errand could not be more simple, and with a few words of intimidation, it is estimated that it will be successful, but now... Let's take a closer look at the tablet held in the hands of Wei's male, and the anger on his face. The British lady who fought to the death, he knew that this matter was a bit tricky.

Not to mention that there is still no strong evidence to prove that Wei Junhang cooperated with the enemy and betrayed the country, but there is. The previous British ministers have indeed made great achievements and are admired by all people. Countless people poked in the spine, no matter who they were, they couldn't protect him.

However, if he just came back empty-handed... he wouldn't be able to explain to the man in the palace!

The youngest brother Xiang held his grandfather's spiritual seat, his eyes rolled a few times, and he looked at his mother whose eyebrows were standing upright, and at the man headed by the opposite side. The man walked over and kicked the opponent hard: "Bastard, bully my mother!"

After kicking, he ran back again with a 'deng deng deng', imitating the appearance of several older brothers, with a small face and wide eyes, holding the tablet in his arms tightly.

Shen Xinyan didn't expect the little guy to come out like this, her expression was a little stunned, while Wei Chengzhao, Wei Chengyue and Wei Chengqi looked at Brother Xiang admiringly. Brother Xiang felt their compliments, proudly puffed out his small chest, and his round little face was tensed up by pretending to be serious.

The man didn't expect to be kicked by a child today, and felt a little embarrassed for a while.

"Madam, don't try to embarrass yourself, you are like this, is it because you have a ghost in your heart that you are obstructing it again and again?" He took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Let him search!" Shen Xinyan was about to speak when the majestic shout of the eldest princess suddenly came from behind.

She turned around and saw that Chunliu came in with the eldest princess, and hurried forward to meet her and support her on the other side: "Why is my mother here?"

As he asked, he gave Chun Liu a disapproving look.

Chun Liu gave her a helpless look, expressing that he was innocent too.

"See your Highness Princess Eldest!" The men dressed as guards hurriedly saluted when they saw that they were Princess Jinghe, the Eldest Princess.

"What's your name? Who were you ordered to search our government's mansion?" The eldest princess asked coldly.

"His Majesty's order, He Peng," replied the leader.

"Master He, if you want to search the mansion, you can! It's just that if you can't find anything in my mansion, this palace wants your hand!" The face of the eldest princess was stern, her eyes were sharp, and she aimed directly at the name of why Peng man.

The man took a breath, his lips trembled, as if he wanted to say something, but the eldest princess sneered: "What? Don't dare? How can you be free to break into the place of this palace! If you want to search the palace today, this palace will not embarrass you. It's just that this palace is both the eldest princess of the imperial court and the patriarch of the British government, and her face has been torn off and stepped on the ground, so naturally I have to ask for some justice. "

"Otherwise, what's the face of my eldest princess? What's the face of the Wei family's loyalty and goodness? What's the face of the royal family?!"

Shen Xinyan supported her and watched He Peng quietly, not missing the hesitation on his face, even the other people behind him looked at each other.

If these people can easily search the mansion today, the Wei family will become a joke. How will they stand in the imperial court in the future?

"Yes, grandmother is right, you can search the house, but if you can't find anything, keep your arm!" Wei Chengzhao and others also responded, and I followed every word you said.

"Sir?" Seeing the scene was completely unexpected, the somewhat thin man behind He Peng hesitated and whispered.

He Peng gritted his teeth and decided to gamble: "Okay! If you can't find what you want, the lower official will leave this arm!"

"Okay, Mr. He is a dignified seven-footed man. I don't think he is that kind of person who doesn't believe his words!" The eldest princess glanced at Shen Xinyan without a trace.

Shen Xinyan nodded invisibly, and said coldly towards He Peng: "Just one thing, please keep in mind, Lord He, most of the imperial palaces are gifted by previous emperors and the present His Majesty, Lord and your family. It's better to move slightly lightly, if you bump into it, Your Majesty will blame it, I'm afraid that the adults will not be able to explain it."

He Peng's face was ugly, he swallowed his breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry ma'am!"

"That's the case, please, my lord!" Shen Xinyan helped the eldest princess to avoid it, Wei Chengzhao and others also gave way one after another when they saw this, and the servants who had the honor to personally take He Peng and others with him went in.

"Why did your mother come here? But who did not have long eyes to startle you?" Shen Xinyan helped the eldest princess to sit down and asked softly.

"I just felt bored in my heart. When I went out for a walk, I saw all the girls showed panic, and when I asked, I knew something was wrong." The eldest princess lovingly caressed Brother Xiang's white and tender little face.

"It was the daughter-in-law's poor arrangement that disturbed the mother." Shen Xinyan apologized.

"What's your fault? It's just today that the ancestors were disturbed after all." The eldest princess sighed, seeing Shen Xinyan's face adding a bit of apology, she quickly patted the back of her hand and said, "I don't blame you, you Well done, the ancestors will not blame you."

The Wei Chengzhao brothers put the tablets in their arms one by one on the chief's table. With the eldest princess as the head, the descendants of the Wei clan respectfully knelt down and kowtowed to the ancestors.

Brother Xiang imitated the movements of his brothers and kowtowed crookedly.

After the ceremony, the eldest princess hugged him lovingly and said lovingly, "Brother Xiang is really good."

Brother Xiang rubbed coquettishly in her arms, and said, "Brothers are also very good."

"Everyone is good, they are all good sons of the Wei family!" The eldest princess nodded, and her approving eyes fell on the three Wei Chengzhao next to her.

The three were embarrassed by her praise.

About half an hour later, He Peng walked in with an ugly expression on his face.

Shen Xinyan calmly looked at the big housekeeper who was following behind them, and she felt relieved when she saw him nodding slightly towards her.

"Master He, have you searched for what you want?" The eldest princess also noticed her gaze, her mind moved slightly, and she said coldly.

He Peng knew that he had planted himself in it today. No one in the civil and military affairs of the dynasty did not know the temperament of the eldest princess, Jai Ji. Today, he offended her, but he couldn't find what he wanted. I was afraid that this arm would not be preserved. .

"Bring the knife!" The eldest princess shouted coldly, and the servant in her own house presented the sharp long knife, Chun Liu cleverly stepped forward, and coaxed and deceived Brother Xiang into his arms.

"His Royal Highness, today is a reckless officer, but the officer is only acting according to orders. This is a last resort. Please forgive me!" The gleaming sword is in front of him. Hair, biting his head and softening his tone.

"Bengong always does what he says. Lord He, did you do it yourself, or did someone from Bengong do it?" The eldest princess said indifferently.

Watching the Wei residence guard walking towards him step by step with a long sword, He Peng subconsciously clenched the long sword around his waist, but the people he brought with him couldn't grasp the idea of ​​whether they should go to the hospital in the event of a fight. help before.

"Master He, I would like to admit defeat, if you keep your arms alive today, or this palace will go to the Golden Palace, I'm afraid your life will not be guaranteed!" The eldest princess noticed his actions and said sharply.

He Peng's heart trembled, and the hand holding the sword finally slowly loosened, knowing that the situation was over, if the eldest princess was not satisfied today, her temperament would really make trouble in the Golden Palace, don't say an arm, I'm afraid Really life-threatening.

Life is gone, what's the use of keeping your arms?

He was finally in despair, and only hated that he believed in that person too much and looked down on the female family members of this country's government, so that he ended up like this today.

The guard holding the knife got closer and closer, and the cold air from the blade brought his face. He closed his eyes, waiting for the pain to come.

"Wait!" Suddenly, the woman's drink rang in the main hall of Nuoda. He opened his eyes and saw that the person who made the sound was the lady of the country.

"Mother, my daughter-in-law wants to cut off one hand of this person with her own hands to vent her hatred of being bullied today!" Shen Xinyan said slowly.

The eldest princess gave her a deep look: "Yes!"

He Peng's face changed again. If he could not escape the loss of his hand today, he would rather have a good time. Just as he was about to say something, Shen Xinyan had already taken the long knife in the hands of the guards in the house, and without waiting for him to react, he held the long knife high. Hit him.

He Peng was shocked, and subconsciously wanted to draw his sword to block, but the long knife had already cut it, and he only felt a sharp pain in his left arm.

However, when he stretched out his other hand to press the wound on his broken arm, he found that his left arm was still growing on his body, except that the place where he was cut by the knife was bleeding.

"My daughter-in-law is useless." Shen Xinyan handed the long knife back to the guard and said apologetically to the eldest princess.

"Forget it, let's count his luck today!" The eldest princess rolled her eyes, then looked at He Peng and sneered, "What? Mr. He still doesn't take your people with you. Maybe he still doesn't give up and plans to search again. one time?"

"Don't dare, I have offended a lot today, please forgive me, Your Highness and Madam." He Peng retrieved an arm and was so scared that he was sweating coldly. .

"What a pity, if I knew I would do it myself, I will definitely be able to chop off one of that fellow's arm!" Wei Chengyue was only one after the eldest princess and Shen Xinyan led the men to invite the tablets of the ancestors back to the ancestral hall. The face is pity and authentic.

"What an idiot, grandmother and second aunt are singing double reeds!" Wei Chengzhao glanced at him with disgust on his face.

"Sing a double reed? What do you mean? Hey, don't go, tell me clearly!" Wei Chengyue was confused.

"Second brother's meaning probably means that neither grandmother nor second aunt really want that Lord He's hand." Wei Chengqi explained kindly.

"Why not? That fellow is so arrogant, why don't you show him some color!" Wei Chengyue was still annoyed.

"If I really cut off his hand, I'm afraid that from now on, it will add an enemy to the Duke's government. Although we are not afraid of him, but the little devil is difficult to deal with. Now it is an extraordinary period, and the second uncle and the eldest brother are not here, so it is better to be a little shocked. It is enough to make people not dare to underestimate it easily." Wei Chengqi said patiently.

At this time, the eldest princess was also asking Shen Xinyan: "Did you have a plan in your heart?"

Shen Xinyan smiled: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from my mother."

"Then you know what they're looking for?"

Shen Xin Yan nodded.

The eldest princess looked at her deeply, and after a while, sighed softly, and slowly lay back in the bed tent: "I'm old!"

You can also let go completely.

Shen Xinyan took off her shoes for her, and heard the words: "Mother is not old at all. If my mother hadn't arrived in time today, I'm afraid she might not be able to easily shock the other party."

Since the other party brought people here, the mansion must be searched. Besides, rumors are flying in the capital, she refused today, I am afraid that tomorrow, the government will fall into even bigger rumors. Therefore, the government is to be searched, but it cannot be searched too easily.

The eldest princess closed her eyes and said nothing. Shen Xinyan tucked the tucked corner for her and was about to leave, when she suddenly heard her ask, "Where did those people mainly search?"

"Grandpa's study, and then... the place of the elder sister-in-law." Shen Xinyan hesitated a little, but answered truthfully.

"The eldest room..." The eldest princess said something to herself, but she didn't hear it clearly. For a moment, she didn't see any more words from the eldest princess, and then she quietly retreated.

Although after searching the mansion, the other party obviously listened to the threat of the eldest princess, and did not dare to stir it, so the mansion was not chaotic. In less than half an hour, the servants in the mansion restored everything to The original look.

"I heard that you played your prestige again today, and you stunned people for a while, but you dare not touch the things in your room?" Back in the room, seeing Wei Yingzhi hugging Brother Xiang to feed, Sister and brother, you took one bite at a time, and after eating the plate full of dim sum, she couldn't help laughing.

Wei Yingzhi wiped her little brother's mouth for her younger brother, and said disapprovingly, "The things in my room are so delicate that they don't even look at me, and they also move my things?!"

Shen Xinyan shook her head, but didn't say anything. She hugged and kissed her coquettish son, and coaxed him to go out with the little girl to play. Only then did she call the housekeeper and order him to quickly spread the word about what happened today.

After a little thought, the big housekeeper understood the intention of her move, and went down with a smile.

"Mother is trying to show weakness?" Wei Yingzhi asked.

"This is natural. If others can use gossip, I can't reciprocate one or two?"

The next day, there was a rumor in the capital that someone took advantage of the opportunity of the British public to go on an expedition to bully the women and children of the duke. Not a lot.

If someone mentions this matter of collaborating with the enemy and treason again, passers-by will quickly refute the matter - "The official and the government have not found the slightest evidence, so it can be seen that someone deliberately framed Zhongliang."

Things went in the direction Shen Xinyan wanted, she took a breath, and instructed the big housekeeper again.

After a few days, the news of the ancestor worship held in the British government's residence was spread again. When everyone inquired about it, they knew that when the officials searched the palace that day, even the spiritual position of the previous kings was disturbed. Now the government is holding ancestor worship. To comfort the heroic spirits of our ancestors!

All of a sudden, rumors about the court bullying loyal ministers spread all over the streets and alleys, forcing His Royal Highness not to personally come to the British government to comfort the loyal ministers. However, news soon came out that on that day, the official sent a search to the mansion, and His Highness the Crown Prince strongly opposed it.

But someone immediately refuted that His Majesty was clearly in a state of ill health, so he entrusted the government with the Crown Prince.

Under the guidance of people with a heart, all kinds of conspiracy theories appeared frequently, some said that someone falsely passed on the imperial edict, some said that His Majesty had long been held hostage, and all kinds of reliable and unreliable speculations confounded this trip to the capital. The water scrambled even more.

Because of this, there have been fewer criticisms and rumors surrounding the government.

When Fang Birong came to visit her sister again, Shen Xinyan was talking with the eldest princess, and got a report from the servant. She first looked at the eldest princess, and she didn't lift her eyelids, knowing that she had let herself decide, so she He ordered: "Take her to the place of the eldest lady."

Fang Birong thought that she would be turned away again today. If she could, she didn't want to come again, but now that things have gone off the rails, she was so anxious that she must come again in person.

She only sat in the hall for less than a quarter of an hour before a girl from the house came and led her to Mrs. Fang in the long room. Seeing that Mr. Fang was the only one in the room, although she felt it was a bit strange, she also Can not help secretly glad.

If there were other people in the room, she would have to take care to lead them away, so it would be better to speak so easily now.

"Eldest sister." She calmed down and walked towards Mr. Fang who didn't raise her head.

"What are you doing here?" Mrs. Fang held the embroidery shed to thread the needle and thread, without even looking at her.

"Elder sister's spirit has improved a lot." Fang Birong ignored her cold face and moved Zhang Xiudun to sit beside her.

Fang Shi ignored her.

"I haven't seen my sister doing embroidery for a long time, but this needlework is quite exquisite." Fang Birong was speechless.

Fang Shi finally stopped his movements, glanced at her, put the embroidery shed aside, and said indifferently: "Just say whatever you want to say, why bother talking about it, it's not a waste of time!"

Fang Birong bit her lip lightly, looked around the room, and was sure that there was no third person, and no one was eavesdropping, so she lowered her voice and asked, "Why didn't you put the things I gave you last time?"

"Put it? Why should I put it in?" Fang asked with a half-smile.

"Isn't it already agreed? If you don't put it in, how can the person in the second room fall? If he doesn't fall, how can Brother Qi succeed?" Fang Birong became anxious when she heard this, and she was so angry that she would die. The eldest sister repented before the battle, and the official could not find any evidence, how could she have eaten that person so well.

"Do you think I'm blind, or do you think I'm really blinded by resentment? I don't even have the most basic judgment!" Mrs Fang stared at her and asked coldly.

Fang Birong's heart tightened and she hurriedly denied: "What does the eldest sister mean? I don't think so."

"If you don't think so, then you actually let me frame Wei Junhang to join the enemy and treason the country? How can we know that there will be an egg under the nest, and Wei Junhang will fall. Is it possible that our mother and son will have something better?"

Fang Birong felt uncomfortable being stared at by her, so she had to bite the bullet and said, "If the eldest sister refuses, she shouldn't take the things and coax me with words. Who do you think I'm doing this for? Isn't it? For you and Brother Qi? I really take kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs!"

"If I don't take the things, how can I have a chance to see who is behind the scenes!" Fang sneered.

"What's wrong, don't make trouble, eldest sister, don't say it so ugly!" Fang Birong was a little angry.

"If it was His Majesty's person who came that day, it means that His Majesty has suspicions about Wei Junhang and the Duke's Mansion, and wants to get rid of it, even if Wei Junhang dies and the title falls to Brother Qi, it is just a Empty name, no real power at all; if it's not your Majesty's person, then you are a traitor, a big treason! How can I involve myself in it and die!" Fang's eyes were bright and his face was angry.

Fang Birong's heart skipped a beat, and she didn't dare to meet her gaze, she said reluctantly, "You, what nonsense are you talking about."

"Let's go, you don't have to come again in the future, let's end our sisterhood!" Mrs Fang didn't want to talk to her any more, took the embroidery shed on the table, and started threading the needle again.

Fang Birong was so panicked by her words that she didn't dare to stay any longer: "Then, I'll go back first, another day..."

She wanted to say 'I'll see you another day', but when she thought of her sentence, 'I don't have to come again in the future', she swallowed her words and said as if in a fit of anger, "Since the eldest sister said that, I can't force it. , that's goodbye!"

"I've heard it for so long, don't the second siblings think it's not enough?" After Fang Birong left, Fang Shi slowly opened her mouth.

As soon as the voice fell, a person turned out from the screen, it was Shen Xinyan.

"Sister-in-law really surprised me." Shen Xinyan's eyes were a bit complicated.

After all, it is the eldest daughter-in-law chosen by the eldest princess, who can still be stable in the face of right and wrong.

Fang shi raised his eyes and glanced at her, then lowered his head again, keeping his eyes on the needle and thread in his hand.

"Where in this manor can I hide from you, I look like this, and it's time to see the situation clearly and accept my fate."

Shen Xinyan was silent.

In front of her, Mrs. Fang was neatly dressed and did not put on daisies, but her expression added a bit of peace that she had never seen in her previous life or this life. She was doing embroidery wholeheartedly, as if nothing in this world could match the embroidery shed in her hands. .

She thought, maybe she really figured it out and saw it clearly.

She stood quietly in the room for a long time, turned her eyes down and was about to leave, when she heard Mr. Fang behind her ask, "Second brother, will he return safely?"

"Yes!" Shen Xinyan answered firmly.

"That's good." Fang shi said in a low voice, and there was nothing else to say.

No matter how reluctant she was to admit it, Wei Junhang was inseparable from the current state palace. If he was here, he could keep the wealth and peace of the palace; if he wasn't there, no one could predict the fate that awaited him.

Not to mention that the things that my sister gave were impossible to put in. Even if it was possible, if she put it in with her front foot, Shen shi would use her to operate on her back foot.

She didn't want to accept her fate, but she didn't even want to be a sinner of the Wei family, and she didn't want to be resented by her own son for the rest of her life!
