In the magnificent hall, Lady Feng waved to the servants to remove the lunch. She had no appetite to begin with, but she couldn't swallow it because of Zhang Ping's departure.
Feng Siniang's marriage was so sudden that even Wang Yuanting took a long time to react. If the news was true, Wei Yiyan, the eldest son of the Wei family, would not agree and would definitely make a fuss. Aren't they not in the Feng family?
"Master, you said Miss Feng Si is getting married, who is the groom?" Li Changqiu's heart collapsed, but he still endured the pain in his heart and asked this question.
At this time, Lady Feng has regained her sanity. Now that she is sitting in the position of the head of the Feng family, she not only represents Lady Feng, but also represents the entire Feng family.
Cooperation will benefit both sides, while fighting will hurt both. Internal fighting is the biggest internal friction. This is what her mother Feng Yuetang often said to her, and she also kept it in mind, but she didn't know whether the decision this time would satisfy her mother.
Madam Feng pursed her lips and smiled, with a bit of unbearability in her eyes, and said softly: "Leader Li knows it all, so why bother asking?"
"Please make it clear, Master." Li Changqiu smiled bitterly, his eyes dim. He just wanted to hear it with his own ears so that he could give up completely.
Lady Feng sighed softly. The young man in front of her looked a bit like her back then. He went on a rampage regardless of the consequences for the one he loved, but in the end he made a wedding dress for someone else.
"Actually, it doesn't hurt to tell you. You will know sooner or later anyway. Feng Siniang will marry into your Li family tomorrow. There are only two young masters in your Li family, so the groom is naturally your good eldest brother." Lady Feng tried her best to speak softly and avoid Then stimulate the sad person.
In fact, the tone is no longer important, this cruel fact is the most hurtful. Li Changqiu couldn't hate his brother, so he directed his resentment to the Feng family: "You Feng family are really bullying people too much... …”
Mrs. Feng did not want to take the blame, so she interrupted Li Changqiu and said bluntly: "It's funny! It seems that you are really a fool. It was your eldest brother who took the initiative to seek marriage with my Feng family. As for the reason, you can ask him in person tomorrow."
Wang Yuanting said goodbye to Lady Feng and pulled the lost Li Changqiu out of the hall, fearing that Li Changqiu would start making shocking remarks again. Lady Feng did not always have a good temper.
Even though Lady Feng is a woman as gentle as water, her current identity is the head of the Feng family. Sitting in that position, there are often things and decisions that make her unable to control herself.
The two of them left the main hall. Li Changqiu looked dull. He didn't want to face the situation. He looked at Wang Xi beside him and asked without giving up: "I'll ask eldest brother, will he..."
Wang Yuanting shook his head. In fact, they all knew in their hearts that this matter was a foregone conclusion and no one could change it.
Although the Li family is the richest man in Liangzhou, the Feng family has not been reduced to the point of forcing others to make things difficult for them. However, there is no reason to extrapolate the benefits brought to their doorstep. The reason why Mrs. Feng agreed to this marriage was, in the final analysis, for the benefit of the two families. It is not the turn of others to interfere in what you and I wish to do.
Li Changqiu seemed to understand something. He patted Wang Xi on the shoulder and said mockingly: "Haha, Er Gouzi recently persuaded me to go back to Liangzhou, and then Brother Wang also came to Huanqing Valley, all because of this. Haha, it turns out I am the only fool..."
At this time, Li Changqiu was gradually lost in self-doubt. Although Wang Yuanting had not known Li Changqiu for a long time, he did not want to watch him sink.
"Second Young Master, listen to me. You must go to the wedding banquet tomorrow. My subordinates can disguise themselves and accompany you."
Wang Yuanting knew that Li Changqiu was suffering, but this was something Li Changqiu would have to face sooner or later as the second young master of the Li family. He believed that after tomorrow's baptism, Li Changqiu would find his way to the future.
What's more, it is related to Feng Siniang's marriage. Maybe the two young masters of the Wei family will show up. In this case, Wang Yuanting will definitely go. As a brother of the second young master of the Li family, his status is very good. cover.
"Wang Xi is really my good brother." Wang Yuanting's suggestion moved Li Changqiu very much. I guess this is the so-called friend in need, a friend indeed, a hundred times better than Li Ergou who deceived him.
Li Changqiu put his arm around Wang Yuanting's shoulders as he spoke, but there was a head difference in height between the two of them, so Li Changqiu could barely reach him by tapping his feet. Although it took some effort, Li Changqiu smiled like a child, which surprised Wang Yuanting.
Wang Yuanting's suggestion just now was just to facilitate others, so he couldn't afford Li Changqiu's "brother", but the feeling of deep brotherly love was not bad.
"Brother Li, thank you. I can't bear to see one of my own being bullied. Even if we lose, we must have the courage to face it!" Wang Yuanting began to have a plan in his mind. He believed that Li Changqiu would not say "brother" at the wedding banquet tomorrow. Let him scream in vain.
"Well said! You will accompany me to Liangzhou City tomorrow!" Li Changqiu agreed happily, because he found that he was alone now, and there was nothing he couldn't lose, so he should face it calmly.
The two were led out of the back hall by the guards. Li Changqiu and Wang Yuanting walked and stopped all the way. It was already evening when they left the main hall, just in time for the night patrol to change the guard.
Wang Yuanting secretly recorded the time of the changing of the guard and the number of guards. It was a worthwhile trip for him to go to the main hall this time. He was just planning the route to explore the back hall tonight when he saw Li Ergou and his personal guards approaching along with the patrol team of the main hall. Their posture was more majestic than that of Tian Linyu, the outer deacon.
If it were before, Li Changqiu would definitely be complacent, thinking that this was the result of his efforts to manage the sect brothers. But today, Li Changqiu knew that every time he was proud, there was a clear price tag.
He is the second young master of the Li family, so he can enjoy the wealth of the Li family. It is precisely because he is the second young master of the Li family that he not only has to attend tomorrow's wedding banquet, but also has to pretend to be happy.
"Young master, you are finally back, don't worry to death." Li Ergou held his mouth and rushed directly to Li Changqiu, worry written all over his face.
Li Changqiu was furious when he saw Li Ergou, and his mood that had just eased became extremely bad again. He always had a straight temper and did not hide it, so he said it directly: "Li Ergou, what you said the day before yesterday My eldest brother is getting married, who will he marry?"
"Little one... I don't know even little one..." Li Ergou was so frightened that his eyes widened. His usually squinty eyes were round and round. With an aggrieved expression, he really looked like the poodle at home.
"You...are so capable that you know how to lie?" Li Changqiu was so angry that he raised his head and was about to hit him. Li Ergou subconsciously curled up his neck and closed his eyes, waiting quietly for that blow, but the count of ten failed. I finished counting, but I didn’t wait for the familiar beat.
Li Ergou quietly opened his eyes and saw that Li Changqiu had walked away. He was very puzzled. Today's master was actually merciful, but why did his back look so lonely?
He blinked his eyes, chased after him, and persuaded in a low voice: "Master, let's go back to Liangzhou. That Tian Linyu's master is the elder of the Feng family, we can't fight him!"
Li Changqiu did not stop, but simply replied: "Okay, I will return to Liangzhou City early tomorrow morning."
"Master..." Li Ergou didn't expect that Li Changqiu would agree, and he was at a loss. Could it be that the head of the Feng family told him something?
Li Ergou was about to chase after him to ask for details, but was stopped by Wang Yuanting: "Let him calm down. After all, my brother is getting married, but the bride is his sweetheart. This is not something that can be accepted all at once."
Li Ergou opened his mouth for a long time and couldn't close it. It turned out that the young master from home already knew that tomorrow was Young Master Li's big day. No wonder the young master became so dead-set.
At this time, Li Changqiu needed someone to comfort him, but Li Ergou found that he was powerless and could only accompany him to get drunk.
"It's really hard to accept." Li Ergou spoke dejectedly, his eye circles beginning to turn red. He had been looking for a chance to talk about it these days, but he still couldn't bear to say it.
Tomorrow is Feng Siniang's wedding day, but his young master still has a sweet dream of meeting Miss Feng. It would be such a cruel thing to break this dream. He can't do it and there is nothing he can do. arrive.
But when he saw the young master's lonely and determined back, he regretted it. If he had spoken about the matter earlier, maybe they wouldn't provoke Tian Linyu, and maybe they could continue to hang out in the Valley of Fantasy.
Wang Yuanting patted Li Ergou on the shoulder. None of this was his fault. It was just human greed. Silence was better than sound. The two of them walked side by side to the front hall, each thinking about their own thoughts.
In fact, innocent people like them should not get involved in the affairs of the cultivation world. In the eyes of cultivators, the powerful and wealthy are just objects that can be taken away at will. The Li family may lose more in the end.
This is not what they should have borne, and it is completely avoidable. Wang Yuanting couldn't figure out why the eldest young master of the Li family would do this: "How could the eldest young master of your family do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit oneself?"
Li Ergou sniffed and held back the tears in his eyes: "It is indeed difficult for ordinary people to accept it, but the eldest young master has always been like this."
Wang Yuanting's eyes lit up, Li Ergou must know some unknown secrets, and he smiled slightly and motioned for him to continue.
Li Ergou didn't want to tell others, but Wang Yuanting's sincerity and carefulness in treating others gave him an irresistible sense of trust. The long-lost old stories of the Li family once again came to his mind...
"It is said that merchants value profits, but my father established himself with integrity and won the hearts of the people in Liangzhou City. He broke into the limelight in his thirties and became the richest man in Liangzhou City.
Later, she took the eldest daughter of Xu Yuan's maternal family in Liangzhou and became the eldest lady of the Li family. It was a great marriage.
Two years later, when the eldest son was about to be born, my father went to Qiongzhou to do some shopping. He was trapped on the road during a flood in Qiongzhou, and his life or death was uncertain. The eldest lady was stimulated, and the eldest young master was born early. Fortunately, mother and son are safe..."
