Chapter 143 Shot 1

At night, a candle lit on the table, reflecting the decorations in the room. A man, wearing a purple round-neck robe and a jade crown with hair, sat at the table and looked carefully at the map in his hand.

"Your Highness!"

A slight voice came, and the man turned his head. A pair of dark eyes looked at the man and casually asked, "How about it going?"

The man lowered his head, "The daughter of the salt merchant gave Xia Chuanyuan three million taels, which offset the matter in front of the emperor, and the emperor did not investigate it."

The man raised the corners of his lips, casually closed the sheepskin map on the table, and asked softly, "What about the third lady?"

The man paused and said, "Everything is fine."

The man nodded, "Go down first."

After saying that, he closed his eyes and refreshed, but the visitor did not retreat and hesitated, "Your Highness, the news from the Queen is that the king seems to be dying. Does Your Highness speed up the journey..."

The man listened, but suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the man who was kneeling on the ground. "What are you going to do? Do you still want me to come?"

The man was stared at by the man's eyes and was immediately a little scared. He said, 'I dare not', and hurriedly retreated.

The man looked out of the window and took out a round stone from his sleeve. He looked carefully, but put it in his mouth.

He remembered the happy time when he was with her before, and suddenly remembered what she looked like now. His heart was down, but it quickly stimulated the small box on the table. The small box was urged by internal forces and trembled slightly, and then it became faster and faster and faster, exuding a faint blue color. The light comes.

At the same time, Changsun Yun, who was far away in the Jiangnan Inn, suddenly felt that his internal strength had been lost. A heartbreaking pain began to spread from his chest, and it was getting worse and worse. Changsun Yunqiang suppressed it with his own internal force, but he was devoured instead. Bean-sized sweat appeared on Changsun Yun's painful forehead, and his hands clenched tightly. The sheets under me.

The man urged for a while, as if he saw Changsun Yun's twisted face. He smiled and whispered, "She can only be mine. If anyone dares to rob me, I want him to survive and die."

Changsun Yun was almost dying of pain, but suddenly relaxed. Chang Sun Yun hurriedly sat up and meditated cross-legged, but felt that the internal force and power in his body were all there. Was it a dream just now? But such a clear pain was still faint. Changsun Yun reached out and wiped the sweat on his forehead and was powerless. I closed my eyes.

What's going on? Why did your body become like this?

When Xia Chuanyuan entered Meifang Garden, his face was happy. Xia Mengning looked at it. Without guessing, he must have been praised by the emperor.

"Mei'er..." Xia Chuanyuan came in, but saw that Xia Mengning was also there. He hurriedly said, "Ning'er is also here..."

Xia Mengning stood up with a smile and gave up her seat to Xia Chuanyuan. She went to the chair on the side and sat down and said with a smile, "What's the happy thing about Dad? He is so happy. Say it to your daughter and mother."

Xia Chuanyuan smiled and talked about the emperor Longyan's great pleasure. Xia Mengning listened and said, "This time, the meritorious official is the fifth aunt. How is Dad going to reward the fifth aunt?"

When Xia Mengning first came, she had told the cause and effect of the matter to Ge. Now Ge also looks as usual and whispered, "According to my concubine, the fifth aunt also has a son, and now she has made such a great contribution. It should be Jin Yi's reputation."

In fact, Xia Chuanyuan also has this intention in his heart, but he feels that this matter should not be abrupt. Now that he hears Ge's words, he also thinks of Shen'er. I don't know when he will come back, but if he carries Wei as the main room, then Shen'er is the legitimate son, but where is the legitimate son who is not in the house and can't find anyone?

With this level of concern, Xia Chuanyuan couldn't help thinking of the life of the Wei family. Wei's father was the largest salt merchant in the north, and his family was rich. The emperor had some scruples in his heart. If this daughter became the main room of the prime minister's mansion again, wouldn't it be more conducive to the arrogance of the merchants?

Thinking about Wei's behavior again, Xia Chuanyuan frowned. Presumably, Wei also remembered the seat in the main room. Humph, the daughter of a businessman actually had such ambitions, and Xia Chuanyuan slowly calmed down in his heart.

Thinking of this, Xia Chuanyuan firmly rejected his idea and said, "Let's think about it in the long run. The origin of the Wei family really can't afford the position of the prime minister's house."

Xia Mengning looked at Ge Shi and knew that these words had worked.

Wei had framed her mother. How could Xia Mengning make her succeed so easily? Even if you can't stop Wei's plan, it's always okay to make some small actions from it.

Xia Mengning thought of this and couldn't help quietly looking at Xia Chuanyuan. Seeing Xia Chuanyuan's worried appearance, she had a heart.

Xia Chuanyuan gave a few words to Ge Shi and said that he had something to deal with and left. Xia Mengning winked at Ge Shi, "Mother, do you think Dad will change his mind?"

Ge Shi shook his head and patted Xia Zhikang in his arms. "This main room can't be suspended all the time. Without Wei, there are other people."

Xia Mengning smiled and took a small wave drum from the bedside to tease Xia Zhikang, "Kang'er, look here..."

Xia Zhikang's black eyes looked left and right with the rattle drum. His naive appearance made Ge and Xia Mengning laugh. Xia Mengning reached out and pinched Xia Zhikang's cheek and sighed, "You are the most relaxed. With my sister and mother protecting you, you don't have to do anything or worry about anything. Just eat and sleep every day."

Xia Zhikang stretched out his fat short hand to hold the rattle drum, and his fleshy cheeks bulged, which was indescribably cute.

Xia Mengning shook the rattle, but didn't give it to him. Little Xia Zhikang kept twisting his body and protesting. His pink little mouth swelled, as if he was about to cry.

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you..."

Xia Mengning stretched out her hand to open Xia Zhikang's little hand and put the little red rope at the top of the rattle drum in Xia Zhikang's hand.

The little man was very happy. With a gentle shake, the rattle slipped from his hand and fell to the ground with a 'bang'. He thought Xia Zhikang would cry, but he was silent for a while, and the child actually giggled.

Ge Shi and Xia Mengning couldn't help laughing. Xia Mengning reached out and picked up the rattle drum from the ground. Ge also put Xia Zhikang into the cradle. Xia Mengning hung a red rope and a bell hanging above the cradle. As soon as she moved, it would rotate and make a sound. Xia Zhikang liked to see this thing, sometimes one Look, it's more than half an hour.

Xia Mengning fiddled the pendant with her hand, which instantly attracted Xia Zhikang's attention and danced in the cradle.

He walked to Ge's bed and sat down. Xia Mengning said, "Don't worry, mother. Wei has made a hard time. Do you think she will be so easily calculated by us? Wait and see, Wei must still have a back hand waiting for us.

Wei was saying this to Xia Mengran in the Yuyan Pavilion when he heard the voice of Xiao Liuzi outside the door. He quickly stood up and walked out.

Xiao Liuzi was standing outside the door. When he saw Wei coming out, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Xiao has seen the fifth aunt."

Wei looked happy, but quickly covered it up and said softly, "Is there something wrong with you?"

This word 'you' shows Wei's respect for Xiao Liuzi.

Xiao Liuzi narrowed his eyes, but answered with a smile: "I don't dare to be the little one. Today, the master ordered the little one to send something to the fifth aunt."

Send something? Wei was puzzled and saw Xiao Liuzi's humanity behind him: "Come on, bring up all the rewards."

With that, the two rows of girl behind him came forward. Wei went forward to lift the red cloth on the tray, and saw that it was full of some jewelry and silk.

Xiao Liuzi came forward and said, "The master is busy. The special slave came to tell his aunt. The master thanked you very much for your help, so he specially sent these jewelry to compensate his aunt. I hope my aunt will accept it."

How could Wei not hear this full of sarcasm? Hearing the words, he just clenched his teeth tightly, but he couldn't say a word.

I sold all the jewelry and got so many rewards. Does the master want to say that the only reward he can receive as a daughter of a businessman can only receive is these jewelry?

Wei was almost mad with anger, but Zhang's mother beside her quickly pressed Wei's hand and said to Xiao Liuzi with a smile, "Auntie is always uncomfortable these days. It must be cold and infected with the wind and cold, and the rewards have been accepted. I hope you can go back and thank the master for your aunt."

Xiao Liuzi looked at Wei's white face with satisfaction, nodded, and said to the humane behind him: "Go back."

After waiting for someone to leave, Zhang's mother helped Wei back into the room. Xia Mengran looked at Wei's face worriedly and sat aside and dared not speak.

Mother Zhang poured a cup of tea and handed it to Wei, and whispered, "Auntie..."

Wei suddenly smiled bitterly and took the teacup and took a sip of tea: "You can see it? Even if I help the master solve this urgent need, he still cares about the identity of my businessman's daughter and humiliates me in this way..."

With that, Wei's eyes turned red, and he took a veil and pointed at the corners of his eyes.

Mother Zhang sighed and didn't know how to comfort her. She could only say, "Are you going to give up?" Rong Laonu said in his heart that the most important thing in a woman's life is to find a good home, but she doesn't have a heart. My aunt has been living angrily in this deep courtyard for so many years, and finally took advantage of the third lady to remove these obstacles. Now, the master's mentality has been sticking to you for so many years. Has your heart been completely destroyed? My aunt has come here for so many years, and she must have already seen the coolness and trend of the world..."

Wei turned his face sideways, as if he had finally figured out something, and sighed, "Yes, I've lived for so many years. I haven't seen anything. I haven't encountered anything, but I still insist on having a ridiculous heart." Wei wiped his tears and looked at Zhang's mother and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Seeing that Wei's eyes were flat again, Zhang's mother was relieved. Xia Mengran saw Wei's appearance and listened to these words again. She was a little sad and said, "Auntie, do you also have a father in your heart?"

Wei smiled bitterly, "What's the matter? In our life, we women have been marrying chickens and dogs. If we have our current identity, we can't expect true feelings anymore. The only thing we can keep ourselves is our rights.

With that, Wei looked at Xia Mengran again and said word by word, "Ran'er, you have to remember that no matter how good the original relationship is, you can't guarantee that it will still be like this in the future. The only thing that can be guaranteed to remain unchanged is the right to hold in your hand. You must remember that in this deep house courtyard, whoever moves his true feelings first is doomed to lose. It's a complete defeat."

This sentence sounded very heavy. Xia Mengran blinked and nodded ignorantly.
