Yuan Xi walked forward and said, "I've met my sister."
Then he bowed to Mrs. Hong and said, "I have met Madam."
When Mrs. Hong saw it, she hummed in a low voice, looking rather embarrassed.
Yuan Xing returned the gift and sighed, "It's hard for you to call me sister."
After hearing this, Yuan Xi smiled at Yuan Xing and said, "My mother passed away early. Without my sister's care, I might not have grown up."
"I always remember my sister's kindness."
Yuan Xing was quite sad after hearing this, "Why are you mentioning this? It's really uncomfortable to hear."
She took Lu Lingqi's hand and said to Yuan Xi: "Look at you, you have found such a good wife, but you don't even buy clothes for her. Isn't it too much?"
"I took out my clothes and found that they were okay. I'll find a few more sets later."
Yuan Xi laughed and said to Lu Lingqi: "Sister, I gave you all my wedding clothes."
After hearing this, Lu Lingqi realized that the clothes on her body were expensive, and she blushed and said, "No, thank you very much, sister, for taking the trouble."
Yuan Xing said indifferently: "It's just a few clothes. I don't know when I will get married yet, but the girl is getting married soon."
Lu Lingqi became even more coquettish after hearing this.
Yuan Xing turned to Yuan Xi and said, "You still remember me. I heard that you returned to Yecheng this time because of something else. You will always live in Youzhou from now on, right?"
"This time we say goodbye, I don't know when we will see each other again."
Yuan Xi smiled and said: "That's not necessarily the case."
Yuan Xing hadn't learned about Zhao Yun's affairs yet. Seeing Yuan Xi's mysterious appearance, she was confused for a moment. She didn't realize it until Yuan Xi told her about proposing marriage for Zhao Yun. She said slightly angrily: "Okay, you have always been Taking this matter to heart really made you accomplish it.”
"Is it because General Zilong has good character, or because of other reasons?"
"In these troubled times, life and death are unpredictable for a general. Even if General Yan Liang encounters something unexpected, you really have confidence in General Zilong."
Yuan Xi smiled and said: "Don't worry, how could I cheat my sister? Although General Zilong's character is not good, he is very lucky on the battlefield."
"I believe that sister and he will live a long life."
Yuan Xing burst into laughter, "Why weren't you so sweet when you were a kid?"
"That's all, anyway, this matter is decided by my father in the end. It seems good if I can see my little brother more often in the future?"
Yuan Xing took Hong's hand and said, "It's hard to have both ends of the world. I'm afraid that if I get married, it will be difficult for us to see each other in the future."
When Hong's hand was held up, a section of her fair arm was exposed. Yuan Xi and Lu Lingqi's sharp eyes immediately saw several shocking scars on Hong's arm. The contrast between the dark red scars and her fair skin was extremely obvious. .
Hong woke up, quickly retracted her hand, covered it with her sleeves, and whispered: "I accidentally fell."
Lu Lingqi and Yuan Xi are both martial arts practitioners and are very familiar with wounds. They can tell at a glance that these wounds are whip marks and definitely not caused by falling.
After hearing this, Yuan Xing sighed slightly and stopped talking. However, Lu Lingqi did not react and said angrily: "How is that possible!"
"This is obviously..."
Yuan Xi waved his hand, and Lu Lingqi reacted and quickly shut up. Yuan Xi sighed to Hong, "Logically speaking, I am not qualified to interfere with Mr. Benchu's family affairs."
Hong's face darkened a bit after hearing this.
Yuan Xi added: "But if Madam has other ideas, she can explain it to Sister in private. Sister's matters are my business, and I will try my best to do it."
After hearing this, Mrs. Hong showed a trace of gratitude on her face and bowed to Yuan Xi: "Thank you very much for your concern. I will take my leave now."
Yuan Xi waited for Hong to leave, then turned to Yuan Xing and said, "Sister, did you do it on purpose just now?"
"It's not that I don't want to help, but Xianfu already has a grudge against me. If I intervene rashly, I will only harm her."
After hearing this, Yuan Xing sighed: "My little brother is smart, but she is also a miserable person. If I ask you for help suddenly, she won't be able to lose face, so I thought of this way."
"The third brother has become more and more eccentric in the past two years, which really makes me worry."
After hearing this, Yuan Xi sneered: "I heard that he also proposed to marry Sister A to Wuhuan to win the support of Shan Yu Tadun?"
Not long after Lu Lingqi met Yuan Xing, she understood that the relationship between Yuan Xing and Yuan Xi was unusual and much deeper than ordinary family members. She also developed a good impression of Yuan Xing. Now that she heard that Yuan Xing was actually being used by Yuan Shang, she couldn't help but said angrily: " How can there be such brothers?"
"If I touch it, I will definitely give it a fistful of punches!"
After hearing this, Yuan Xi smiled and said: "No, other noble gentlemen are not like me. If you strike hard, you will really beat them to death."
Yuan Xing's eyes showed a strange look. She stretched out her hand and pinched Lu Lingqi's arm, "I heard that the girl is very good at martial arts?"
"I think so. The tiger girl of Jiangmen, Marquis Wen is famous all over the world. How could the daughter he gave birth to be bad?"
Lu Lingqi became more and more proud and heard Yuan Xing say: "How did you fall in love with my little brother?"
Lu Lingqi's face froze, thinking that she couldn't say that she had lost two games in a row, right?
Yuan Xi saw Lu Lingqi's expression of embarrassment and changed the topic, "What's going on with third brother?"
"It stands to reason that after my adoption, Xiansi will be the governor of Qingzhou. Jizhou is obviously left to my third brother. What else can he have to worry about?"
After hearing this, Yuan Xing looked around and whispered: "I heard that he has been eating Wu Shi San very much in the past two years."
"Before and after eating it, my temper will be erratic, and Hong will suffer a lot."
When Yuan Xi heard the name Wu Shi San, he pondered. He remembered that he was drugged by Yuan Shang. Later, according to Cai Zhaoji's analysis, it seemed to be this drug.
Where did Yuan Shang get the Five Stone Powder, which is so effective?
Could it be given by the alchemist from Taipingdao?
But it is not necessarily true that those who refine the Five Stone Powder are all Taiping Dao alchemists. Yuan Shang is the next head of the Yuan family, and some nobles are flattering and find the recipe to refine it as a gift. There seems to be nothing wrong with it. .
Although it was not until decades later that taking Wushi Powder became a custom among the gentry in later generations, and Wushi Powder had not yet become popular, Yuan Shang's level was different from that of ordinary gentry, and it cannot be generalized.
However, Yuan Xi always vaguely felt that there should be something connected in this series of events, but now that he didn't have much information, he could really see the truth behind it.
He suddenly remembered what Zhen Mi said when he was in Jicheng, and said, "Are there some Taiping Dao Kun Dao movements among the noble girls in Yecheng?"
Yuan Xing was surprised when she heard this: "You also know this?"
"There were a few people who came to my house, but I didn't like them, so they stopped coming."
Yuan Xi frowned and said, "What are they doing here, promoting the teachings of Taiping Dao?"
Yuan Xing laughed and said: "How is it possible? It would have been possible ten years ago. After experiencing the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the nobles regarded it as a taboo. If they dared to publicize it, they would be arrested immediately."
"They just did some sewing when they came. I remembered that someone mentioned to me the wonderful effects of Five Stone Powder."
"But at that time I knew what my third brother had done to the Hong family, and I was very unhappy with Wushisan, so I drove them away."
After hearing this, Yuan Xi pondered, "They came to see Sister A at that time. Who introduced them?"
Yuan Xing thought for a moment, "I remember it seemed that the Hong family mentioned that there were some nuns who were good at needlework..."
Her body trembled, "Is it possible?"
"No, how could it be possible? Hong is also a poor person. She..."
Yuan Xi shook his head and said: "It may not be her, maybe Yuan Shang asked her to do it."
"Sister, don't forget, when Yuan Shang invited me to the banquet, he asked Hong to toast me."
After Yuan Xing heard this, she couldn't accept it for a moment, "Did the Hong family hide it from me...why..."
Yuan Xi sighed: "Everyone has difficulties. Maybe she couldn't help herself."
"She works as a tiger but cannot resist. This is also the pitiful thing about her."
"That's why I just said that if people don't have the will to save themselves, others can't help them."
"If she really wants to get out of the predicament, she has to take the initiative. But as Yuan Shang's wife, how can she draw a clear line with him so easily?"
Yuan Xing sighed after hearing this.
Yuan Xi smiled and said, "It's not easy for us siblings to meet each other. Let's not talk about these things. If Mrs. Hong is willing to talk, she will naturally come to see my sister."
"A eldest sister is like a mother. I brought Lingqi here this time to show her. I have good taste, right?"
Lu Lingqi snorted, and Yuan Xing couldn't help but smile: "That's right, it's enough for this child to be your legal wife. I just don't know how you deceived Marquis Wen and let her follow you."
"You have to treat her well."
Under Lu Lingqi's proud gaze, Yuan Xi quickly smiled and said, "This is natural."
When Lu Lingqi heard the exchange between the two, she rolled her eyes and said, "I heard that husband...this man's first wife, Mrs. Zhen, is very beautiful?"
After hearing this, Yuan Xing pulled Lu Lingqi and smiled: "This is true, I'm afraid Jizhou won't be able to find the second one."
"You will know when we meet her, but don't worry, Mrs. Zhen is very kind-hearted and is very kind to other people."
Lu Lingqi hummed and said, "I'm not worried. Anyway, she and I have nothing to argue about."
Yuan Xing heard Lu Lingqi talk about her child's adoption of the Lu family before, and she thought it was good. In a big family, many things revolve around inheriting the family property. Just look at Yuan Shao's sons and you will know.
Yuan Xi smiled and said: "I haven't taught my sister yet that my wife is already pregnant."
Yuan Xing also looked happy after hearing this, "Our Yuan family is about to have a baby."
"Except for the eldest brother who has a daughter, there are no boys in the next generation."
"If Mrs. Zhen were to give birth to a boy, my father would be very happy."
Yuan Xi shook his head, "If this is really the case, I'm afraid Xianfu Xiansi will have something in mind."
Yuan Xing was silent, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang didn't have a male heir yet. If this continues, Yuan Shao would still give priority to Yuan Xi's son when looking for someone to adopt him in the future.
As a result, the already chaotic fight for the Yuan family's property became completely chaotic.
She forced a smile and said, "Whatever I want to do will be done many years later."
"It's just me. I don't know when I will get married."
Then the next day, Yuan Shao summoned Yuan Xing and asked her about her intention to get married.
