Wei Laner lowered his head slightly and looked at Guo Qian's hand.
The knuckled fingers clenched her wrist tightly, with such force that Wei Laner felt as if he was entangled and restrained by something.
It was obvious that her cousin had doted on her since she was a child. They talked about everything and were very close to each other, but today her cousin's every move made her feel strange, revealing a strange sense of aggression, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
Could it be that her cousin has a romantic relationship with her?
Wei Laner frowned slightly, she had never thought about this before.
She was so familiar with Guo Qian that no matter how good he was, she had long been accustomed to this brother and could not have any affection for her. But why and when did her cousin become interested in her?
In fact, it is not uncommon for cousins to get closer, but no one has ever associated Wei Laner and Guo Qian together. Because Guo Qian was not born to Wei Laner's second aunt, but adopted from a side branch.
Mrs. Guo Er was married for five years and failed to conceive an heir, so she adopted a child from a side branch. At that time, Guo Qian was just one month old and still in his infancy. The mother and son had always had a good relationship with the child who had been raised since childhood.
When Guo Qian was four years old, he asked Mrs. Guo when she would give him a younger brother or sister. Not long after that, Ms. Guo suddenly became pregnant. She was so happy that she felt that Guo Qian's arrival had brought her children. After that, Guo gave birth to two sons one after another.
Although the couple's love for Guo Qian has not changed, once there are more children in the family, resources will inevitably be skewed.
In particular, men attach great importance to their own bloodline. A biological son is the continuation of life to him. Although he also teaches Guo Qian carefully, after all, without the fetters of bloodline, something is always missing.
Guo Qian and Wei Lan'er were childhood sweethearts and were of the same age. Mr. Guo also had a good relationship with his younger sister Guo, so it was natural for them to get married.
But no one mentioned it.
After Wei Laner got married, Mrs. Guo went back to the Guo family more than once to talk to Mrs. Guo or her brother and sister-in-law about Wei Laner's marriage, but everyone automatically ignored Guo Qian.
There is no other reason.
Just because Guo Qian is not the biological child of Mrs. Guo.
Even if they were to marry each other, Wei Lan'er would only marry Mrs. Guo Er's biological son, not an adopted heir.
Closeness and blood are always two different things.
Once faced with a choice, what is the chance that Mrs. Guo would give up her biological son and choose Guo Qian?
Therefore, Guo Qian was not on Guo's son-in-law list from the beginning to the end, even though he was also her beloved child.
"Cousin..." Wei Lan'er calmly withdrew his hand and poured Guo Qian a cup of tea, "If you are willing to help me, of course I will listen to you. I wonder if you already have an idea in your mind. "
Guo Qian pondered and asked, "Do you still want to kill Li Qingyi?"
Hearing this name, Wei Laner's eyes suddenly turned gloomy, "Cousin, I'm in such a mess, and Li Qingyi is definitely involved. Even if it wasn't for Qin Zeng, I would kill her!"
Guo Qian raised his eyes and looked at her, "Don't worry, the opportunity will come soon."
*****
The rain in spring is quick but short. After a few rains, the sky and the earth become clear.
After Li Qingyi and Qin Zeng returned to Beijing, they went back to Li Mansion to rest for one night, explained the matter clearly to their second uncle and second aunt, and returned to Wei Mansion the next day.
Wei Laner failed to kill her this time and dragged the Guo family into trouble. He will definitely not be reconciled and will definitely wait for an opportunity to attack her.
Living in the Wei family, she can better judge Wei Laner's every move.
Li Qingyi went to Jinhuayuan first.
Princess Yuanheng is still weak, and Wei Jin'er is taking care of her closely.
The two of them had already received the news. Knowing that she was coming back today, they both had a lot of questions in their stomachs.
Li Qingyi recounted what happened in the past few days. Wei Jin'er's face turned pale when she heard this, "Fortunately, there was no danger."
Princess Yuanheng gritted her teeth, "When I woke up, I immediately asked someone to find the young novice who handed over the brocade box, but he was already dead."
Li Qingyi was not surprised and reassured: "Mom, don't worry, I already know about this."
Princess Yuanheng sighed, "It's all my mother's fault. If I hadn't asked for the magic talisman, we wouldn't have been plotted against."
"Mom, don't blame yourself. Even if you don't ask for the talisman, someone will send something to us."
The other party bypassed Qin Zeng and used Princess Yuanheng to arrange the hidden weapon. Obviously they were afraid that Qin Zeng would find out the clues. This was still under the nose of Changlan Changning, but none of them saw any clues. Who would have thought that someone would use the magic talisman? Changeling?
Princess Yuanheng felt a wave of fear in her chest, "Fortunately, you and I didn't go back together that day, otherwise, our mother and daughter would have been dead by now."
At that time, she suddenly had a whim and wanted Li Qingyi and Qin Zeng to get along better, so she asked Li Qingyi and Qin Zeng to ride in the same carriage. Unexpectedly, her sudden idea saved their lives.
"Mom, don't think too much. Although you took the Heart-Protect Pill in time and detoxified it as soon as possible, the toxin still invaded your body. You must cultivate yourself well and don't leave any sequelae or disasters."
Princess Yuanheng nodded slightly, suddenly remembered something, and asked Wei Jin'er to help her get a box and hand it to Li Qingyi.
"Princess Zhenbei and the Crown Prince have already left the capital. Before leaving, I left this for you. If you need help from Prince Zhenbei in the future, you can ask someone to come to the palace with this token."
"They left?"
Li Qingyi was a little surprised.
Previously, Princess Zhenbei went to the Li family to reveal her intention to get married to her second aunt. Not long after, she and Qin Zeng were granted marriage by the emperor.
Princess Zhenbei was very sorry, but did not say that she would leave Beijing.
I didn't expect it to be so sudden.
An idea flashed through Li Qingyi's mind, but he was too quick to catch it.
She opened the brocade box and was surprised again.
Princess Zhenbei left her a jade pendant, which was exactly the same as the token Qin Zeng gave her!
This is how the same thing?
Is it possible that there is more than one token of Zhenbei Palace?
Moreover, why did Princess Zhenbei leave this thing to her?
Confused, Li Qingyi planned to ask Qin Zeng the next time they met.
Princess Yuanheng said: "Xu Xiangfu organized a spring banquet and sent messages to everyone. Do you plan to go?"
"Spring Feast?"
Wei Jin'er said on the side: "Xu Xiang's Mansion holds this spring banquet every year, but the noble ladies in the capital are all uninterested because Xu Xiang's son is a fool."
Li Qingyi knew this. Otherwise, why would Xu Hanzhang, the daughter of the prime minister, always hang around his cousin Song Linlang? It was because Xu Hanzhang had no successor.
but.
Things are not as simple as others see.
In his previous life, Qin Zeng helped the emperor fight against the Mu family in full swing. Almost all the officials were involved. Only Xiangfu Xu stood calmly watching the excitement. He shouted every day that he wanted to become an official and took his stupid son back to his hometown to farm and raise pigs. .
