At the same time, in the palace of Wei Zheng, the imperial censor, the back house was full of crying and chaos. On this festive New Year's Day, it seems so out of place.
Mrs. Wei and her daughter Wei Yanran hugged each other and cried. Next to her, Wei Zheng's eldest son Wei Shuyu, who was already serving as an official, was indignant and cursed Xiao Rui in a low voice, "I can't spare you and so on..."
Wei Zheng's constant attempts to persuade him had no effect, so he could only sigh.
"Dad, then Xiao Rui is already a prince-in-law, why do you still want to provoke the little sister? Who does he think he is?" Wei Shuyu said hatefully.
Wei Zheng glared and said, "Shut up, this must be a misunderstanding. Based on my understanding of Xiao Rui, the rumors in the market are all rumors."
"Rumors? There are rumors in the world that Xiao Rui was in love with his little sister and finally abandoned him. Why do you..."
Wei Yanran, who was lying in her mother's arms and crying aggrievedly, got angry when she heard the sound, "Xiao Rui, I will fight with you..."
"Daughter, calm down, calm down..." Wei Zheng had a headache. His daughter had grown up in a scholarly family and had been hanging out with Li Shengnan from the Duke of Wei for too long. Her personality seemed to have nothing to do with gentleness! Are all the girls fighting with Xiao Rui?
Wei Shuyu: "What did I say? There is indeed a problem."
Dalang, shut up!
Although Wei Zheng was able to quarrel with the Confucian scholars in the court, it was difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs. At this time, he was still the leader.
Wei Yanran's face was full of tears and she said aggrievedly: "Brother, what are you talking about? Who has a problem with that scumbag?"
"Ah? Little sister, that's not what I said, it's just rumors..."
"What's the rumor? I don't know him at all."
"No, there are rumors that you met at a banquet, and then became friends because of fighting. Later, Xiao Rui fell in love with Li Shengnan, and he was confused and abandoned you..."
Looking at the silly son's vivid description, Wei Zheng covered his eyes weakly. Is this the son I gave birth to? Can't you see the height of your eyebrows? Your sister is getting into trouble right now, so why are you talking so carefully? Don't you think it's easy at home?
Poof... Wei Yanran was so furious that she vomited blood and passed out.
Mrs. Wei was so frightened that she couldn't help but hug her daughter and kept shouting. Wei Shuyu hurriedly went to ask for a doctor.
"Look at the good things you have done!" Mrs. Wei complained dissatisfiedly to her husband.
Wei Zheng was puzzled: What happened to me? Xiao Rui has made countless enemies, and there are rumors that someone must be deliberately spreading rumors. Don't let me catch the person who caused trouble...
"Why are you spreading rumors to cause trouble? It's groundless! Xiao Rui is from the Yushitai, right? Is he working under you? You are also the chief officer of the Yushitai after all. Under the Yushitai doctor, such a greedy thing happened. You lecherous, shameless scum, you, you...if your daughter has any bad intentions, I will never end it with you!"
Looking at his unconscious daughter, Wei Zheng had an idea, "Madam, Xiao Rui is the best doctor in Chang'an City. I will call him to save my daughter right now."
"Stop! What are you talking about? Are you confused? Your daughter was harmed like this by Xiao Rui, and you still want to invite that evil man to save your daughter? Old man, don't even think about it..." Mrs. Wei has been weak in her life, but she is so strong for the first time in her life. How dare you yell at your husband like that.
Wei Zheng slapped his forehead and said with a wry smile: "Madam, don't get me wrong, it was a slip of the tongue. Since it was Xiao Rui who caused such a disaster to my daughter, then I will go find him now and punish him in front of my daughter. Maybe my daughter will vent her anger." That’ll be fine.”
After saying that, he hurriedly walked out, thinking secretly in his heart, Xiao Rui, this matter had better have nothing to do with you, otherwise, if something happens to Yan Ran, I will fight with your father Xiao Yu!
Xiao Yu: My son caused the trouble, why do you Wei Heilian fight with me? Xiao Rui, you are cheating!
At the gate of the Song Dynasty Duke's Mansion, Xiao Yu personally went out to greet Mrs. Wei Guo Zhang Chuchen.
"Xiao Yu, stop talking nonsense and hand over your son Xiao Rui. Otherwise, your entire Duke of Song Dynasty will not be able to survive the first day of the new year."
Um? Such a strong woman? I have only seen her in my life. There were rumors about Mrs. Wei Guo in the past, but now that I have seen her, the rumors are true.
"I wonder what happened to Quanzi to offend Madam?"
Hong Fu Nu said mockingly: "There is no need to pretend to be deaf or dumb. The news has spread all over Chang'an City. I don't believe you. Xiao Yu doesn't know? If you don't make friends, I will go in and find it myself. A Song Dynasty Duke's Mansion cannot stop me. It's broken." My granddaughter is famous, Xiao Rui can’t run away!”
After all, Xiao Yu is the prime minister, how can he not pay attention to the city government?
His face was as usual and he said: "I think that the rumors in the market are not trustworthy. Madam, please don't be angry. Today Quanzi went out of the city to pay New Year's greetings to relatives and elders, so he never returned home. When he comes back, I will take him to visit and explain the misunderstanding."
"Not at home? Could it be that you ran away out of fear of crime?"
"The dog is innocent, so how can he escape?"
Hongfu Nu sneered: "Xiao Yu, Xiao Rui knew that my granddaughter was bound by a vow, yet he came to accept the invitation to compete in a martial arts competition. How about winning? Do you want my granddaughter to be younger? Humph! That's rude! Dandy, are you deceiving me that there is no one in the Duke Wei's palace?"
"That...can't be true. It must be a misunderstanding. I'll send someone to find the dog and find out."
Hong Fu Nu waved her sleeves and interrupted: "No need to bother. Since Xiao Rui has escaped, I won't talk nonsense to you. It's not easy to find someone in Chang'an City. You'd better hope that Xiao Rui is hidden, otherwise, your Song Guogong's Let the title be passed on to the second son."
you……
"Mrs. Weiguo, are you threatening me?" The clay figurine is still angry. Not to mention that Xiao Yu is a powerful prime minister, but is being threatened by a female prostitute pointing his nose at him?
"So what? Although the Lanling Xiao family has a great reputation, I am not afraid of it. If you don't believe me, go and find out what I did when I was traveling around the world in the early years."
What to do? Anyone who is older and has some status knows that you are Yang Su, one of the nine elders of the Sui Dynasty, a killer dancer raised in the mansion, the top one. how? Do you dare to assassinate my son? Xiao Yu thought of Qin Shubao's evaluation of Xiao Rui's martial arts, and thought with disdain, "I'm afraid you don't have the ability to touch my son."
Seeing that the two were about to have a conflict, Wei Zheng came on horseback, "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. Let's calm down for now. Where is Xiao Rui?"
Zhang Chuchen thought with his eyes: "Wei Zheng, Wei Heilian? Bah! My granddaughter vented her anger on your daughter Wei Yanran, which caused today's disaster. Your daughter was also scorned by that boy Xiao Rui. You don't want to support your daughter. But you’re here to persuade me? If you can’t protect your daughter, why did you give birth to her?”
I, Mrs. Wei Guo, can’t say that.
Wei Zheng was speechless, and Xiao Yu quickly said: "Doctor Wei, are you here to look for Quanzi too? Quanzi has not returned home since he went out. I'm sorry. When he comes back, I will take him to the door to explain the misunderstanding."
Hongfu Nu said disdainfully: "Waiting for you to find your son? No need, if you need someone, I will find him myself."
After saying that, he walked away.
Xiao Yu looked at Wei Zheng, meaning: My son is really not at home, you don't want to go in and wait, right?
Wei Zheng wiped the sweat from his head, pulled Xiao Yu, leaned closer and whispered: "Tell me where Xiao Rui is? Something happened to my daughter. She was so anxious that she fainted. Please let Xiao Rui go home with me to save her life."
Um...help?
Xiao Yu looked at Wei Zheng with strange eyes, and after a long time, he actually said: "Doctor Wei, Mrs. Wei Guo wants people to be straightforward, but you are different, you are too insidious. In order to force the dog out, you did this You’ve got all kinds of damaging moves, and it’s the first day of the Lunar New Year. Aren’t you afraid of damaging your own daughter?”
W-what kind of bad tactics? I……
Wei Zheng suddenly realized it and thought to himself that I have no intention of joking with you. What do you think I am? Are you talking about your daughter's life?
But no matter how Wei Zheng explained it, Xiao Yu refused to believe it. In just one sentence, Xiao Rui was not at home and he didn't know where he was.
At Wei Zheng's house, his son Wei Shuyu had invited an imperial doctor back. When he saw that his father had not come back yet, he shook his head sadly. If the younger sister had waited for her father to ask someone to come for treatment, she would be too cold.
