"Brother Wang, what did you say?"
"Who did you just say was beaten to death?"
Qi Heng first held down Old Man Wang's shoulders to suppress his movements, and then looked at the boss of the Wang family in disbelief and asked, "Brother Wang, please speak clearly!"
"Who is dead!"
Qi Heng looked very frightened at this time. He gritted his teeth and his eyes were red. He felt as if he was about to fall off a cliff. He felt indescribable nervousness and fear!
"No! It's my brother who doesn't!"
The boss of the Wang family also had red eyes and an angry look on his face!
"Although my family Buwei sold it to your Duke of Qi, he is still a living person!"
"Why were you beaten to death by your family like this!"
The eldest son of the Wang family recalled the miserable appearance of Bu Wei when he saw him bleeding from all his orifices, and a ball of angry flames suddenly ignited in his heart!
"You...you said...that..."
"...Isn't it?"
Qi Heng staggered back a step, and the sound coming out of his mouth became very weak, giving the impression that it was like withered weeds in the mountains.
Dry, yellow, and weak.
"Uh-huh!"
After feeling the strength in Qi Heng's hand, Buwei's father, Old Man Wang, did not move. He just quietly wiped his old yellow face and turned his head silently.
"Crack!"
The old man cried silently, but he made no sound.
To be fair, the reason why Old Man Wang stopped his eldest son from speaking was simply because he was afraid that he would disturb Qi Heng, the son of the Duke, and thereby offend him and cause some trouble.
Judging from the behavior of the wealthy families in the world, if Qi Heng's temperament was more vicious, it would be difficult for the Wang family boss to act like this without bringing trouble to himself and even the entire Wang family.
After all, it couldn't be easier for a first-rate prince's legitimate son to embarrass a common man's family in the countryside.
Even sometimes, the superiors do not need to do it themselves. Some brats who want to please these noble people will take action on their own in order to gain the favor of the superiors.
This kind of thing is not uncommon.
In fact, when he saw Qi Heng intentionally asking about Buwei's matter, Old Man Wang was extremely willing because he also wanted to know why Buwei died.
Because the news that the Wang family father and son received was that his son was beaten with a hundred military sticks for not hindering the master's family.
As for anything else, or even the specific details, he didn't know anything about it.
Therefore, Old Man Wang naturally wanted to know the inside story.
Moreover, Old Man Wang once heard his son say something about Qi Heng's character and that his young master treated him well. The two of them were as close as brothers. Therefore, the old man was very willing to believe it in his heart. Evenly balanced.
So, with Old Man Wang's tacit approval, the eldest brother of the Wang family told everything about today's events.
To be honest, the reason why Old Man Wang chose to send away Buwei instead of the eldest son of the Wang family during the most difficult time at home was not only because he was the eldest son, but also because of the temperament of the two brothers.
The boss of the Wang family is reckless and does not know how to adapt. If he is sent away, unless he meets a kind master, otherwise, within a few years, the Wang family will receive his withered bones.
Bu Wei is different. Compared with his brother, Bu Wei's temperament is more clever. Otherwise, he would not have stood out among so many servants in the Duke of Qi's palace and become Qi Heng's long-term follower.
"Clang!"
After the boss of the Wang family told everything he knew, Qi Heng suddenly felt like the world was spinning, and he couldn't stand up!
"Ah? Young Master!"
Old Man Wang's face tightened, and he immediately supported Qi Heng and said in a panic: "Young Master, are you okay?"
Although Old Man Wang intended to use Qi Heng to understand the reason for not being the same, he did not dare to let Qi Heng have any shortcomings because of this. Otherwise, not only would he not get the news, but what he was most afraid of was that the Wang family would all be affected by this. And be destroyed.
At this moment, not only Old Man Wang, but also the boss of the Wang family on the side was a little scared!
Although it was only because of his passion and resentment that the Wang family boss dared to lose his temper at Qi Heng, now he has calmed down.
As the boss of the Wang family slowly came back to his senses, he naturally became scared after finding out.
However, at this time, Qi Heng had no time or energy to care about the thoughts of these two people. At this time, his mind was filled with anger towards his mother, Princess Pingning!
Yes, even when Lord Pingning adopted Ming Lan as his adopted daughter, Qi Heng did not feel the slightest anger towards her. At that time, his heart was only filled with grievances and unwillingness.
However, when he learned about the death of his most caring servant, or rather friend, Qi Heng's heart suddenly felt like it was crushed by the last straw!
"Mother, why on earth did she do this?"
"First it was Minglan, and then it was Buwei!"
"What exactly is she going to do?"
At the thought of this, Qi Heng suddenly felt a strong desire to vomit in his heart!
"boom!"
At this moment, Qi Heng couldn't care about anything!
He directly pushed away the support of the Wang family and his son, turned around, and ran directly towards Princess Pingning's main house!
Qi Heng just felt that things happened one after another in the past few days, and he really couldn't bear it anymore!
If you don’t break out in silence, you will perish in silence!
Qi Heng was determined to have a thorough showdown with Princess Pingning this time. He wanted to come to terms with her, even if he was charged with being unfilial!
"Thum! Thug! Thumb!"
As a series of footsteps that sounded like war drums walked away, the Wang family father and son in the ear room suddenly felt uneasy.
"Dad, is the young father-in-law him?"
The boss of the Wang family was becoming more and more frightened at this time, and his face no longer held the previous anger.
"Alas~"
At this time, Old Man Wang was more calm, but because he was distressed by the news of Bu Wei's death, he didn't want to say anything else now.
"Son!"
Old Man Wang wiped away the sour tears on his face and said in a hoarse voice: "Let's pack your brother's things first and go back!"
"As for the young master, there is nothing to worry about."
Old Man Wang did not say the last sentence - "They are all a family, what can happen?"
…
On this day, when night fell and all the officials dispersed, King Yong actually took Duke Qi back to the palace of King Yong.
In front of the gate of Prince Yong's Mansion.
"Haha, brother Junshou, you have to come to my house today and have a good drink before you leave!"
"Otherwise, I will not let you go!"
King Yong pulled Qi Guogong Qi Yi with great "enthusiasm", but there was a smile on his face that could not be refused.
Qi Yi, whose courtesy name is Junshou, is the name of the Duke of Qi.
"Huh? No! No! No!"
"Your Majesty, I have some things to do today that I have to go back to deal with. I really have no time to spare!"
Duke Qi had a standard fake smile on his face, but he was secretly exerting force on his hands, trying to avoid King Yong's pull and leave as soon as possible.
It's a pity that Qi Guogong's resistance is difficult to be effective under King Yong's strong style.
"Huh? What's the matter?"
There was a trace of ruthlessness on Prince Yong's face. Relying on his status as the prince, he directly dragged Duke Qi to the house and said vaguely: "Brother Junshou, I know you are deliberately refusing." !”
"However, by rejecting me like this, is it possible that you are looking down on me?"
"Huh? Don't dare!"
"Okay, if you don't dare, then come into the house with me. It won't be too late for you to have a few drinks before leaving!"
King Yong's style was very tough, and in the end he dragged Duke Qi into Prince Yong's palace.
"boom!"
The door of Prince Yong's Mansion was immediately closed tightly.
"not good!"
"The Duke of Guo has been detained by King Yong!"
When the people left outside the Duke of Qi's Mansion saw this scene, they were immediately panicked!
They were not stupid either, so they naturally saw the dirty relationship between the two people.
"No, you go back and tell the princess quickly. I'll stay here and wait for news about the Duke!"
"Quick! Go quickly!"
"yes!"
In the crowd, Qi Guogong's first staff immediately began to command the team and prepare countermeasures.
…
Shengfu.
Shou'an Hall.
"Shh!"
When Sheng Changquan walked into Minglan's room, he immediately raised his index finger to Xiao Tao and Dan Ju next to him, signaling them to be silent and not to say hello.
Xiao Tao and Dan Ju, who also saw Sheng Changquan's actions, bowed to him, and then retreated under Sheng Changquan's gesture, leaving only the two siblings in the room.
However, they did not go far, they just retreated to the outhouse so that they could serve Minglan at any time.
After all, the purpose of Sheng Changquan's visit this time was to persuade Minglan to eat.
"Sister~"
Sheng Changquan walked quickly to Minglan's bed and called softly.
Minglan didn't make a sound, as if she was still asleep, unaware of Sheng Changquan's existence.
However, the attentive Sheng Changquan discovered that there was something wrong with the other party's "sleeping" reaction. At the very least, it was the slightly trembling eyelashes on her face that gave her away.
Sheng Changquan took one look and immediately knew what was going on. However, he didn't point it out. He just sat next to Minglan and muttered to himself.
"Oh, it seems that sister is really tired!"
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have slept until now and still haven't gotten up!"
Sheng Changquan twisted his body so that he could sit more comfortably. He didn't even care whether his actions knocked down the "Sleeping Beauty" next to him.
"However, it is strange to say that when I came back from outside today, I actually saw the young father-in-law!"
Sheng Changquan did not look at Minglan's reaction, but continued to speak: "The young master told me a lot, but he only meant one thing, that is, he had no idea that Princess Pingning would do this today!"
"From what he said, I think the young master is not to blame for this incident!"
Sheng Changquan seemed to start to speak for Qi Heng: "However, the young master is also pitiful. He is such an old man, but he has been living under the control of Princess Pingning. No matter what he does, he cannot do without the princess. "
"In other words, he can only listen to Princess Pingning."
Sheng Changquan shook his head and sighed: "I just don't know what will happen to my young master in the future if he continues like this?"
"Is it possible that you have no opinion at all and can only listen to Princess Pingning?"
"Or maybe he did resist, but had no choice but to accept Princess Pingning's arrangements in the end?"
"Or……"
"..."
Sheng Changquan kept chattering, but the meaning was obvious, that is, Qi Heng was not a good match, and his temperament was destined to only follow the arrangements of Princess Pingning.
"Buzz~buzz~buzz~"
At this time, Minglan, who was lying on the bed, felt very irritable. Sheng Changquan's voice was like a series of flies buzzing around her.
Especially what he said was related to the matter between her and Qi Heng, so in the end, Minglan finally couldn't bear it anymore and simply gave up.
"boom!"
Minglan suddenly sat up!
"Okay, brother, please stop talking!"
"I'll get up and eat right now!"
As Minglan expected, when she gave in and stopped pretending to sleep, what caught her eye was Sheng Changquan's hateful smiling face.
"hehe!"
Sheng Changquan smiled at Minglan, changed the subject and said, "Sister, you said this yourself!"
"You'll eat well soon, but don't be so petty and wear your body down anymore!"
Sheng Changquan smiled and warned Minglan: "Otherwise, I will report this matter to my father in the future!"
Sheng Changquan knew that apart from maternal love, what Minglan looked forward to most was Sheng Hong's care. Therefore, if Sheng Changquan informed Sheng Hong that Minglan deliberately skipped meals, then this would definitely be what Minglan was most afraid of. thing.
Because Minglan really didn't want to disappoint her father.
Even Sheng Hong has always ignored him.
"knew!"
Minglan glanced at her younger brother angrily, her face also filled with annoyance: "You little guy, you are so annoying!"
"hehe!"
Sheng Changquan smiled, but did not pay attention to Minglan's complaints.
However, Minglan didn't realize that after Sheng Changquan's gag, her heart was no longer as sad as before, as if her whole person was brand new.
"Xiao Tao! Dan Ju!"
"Bring the food quickly, sister is hungry!"
Sheng Changquan said hello to the door, and immediately called Xiao Tao and others who had been prepared outside.
"Great, girl, you are finally willing to eat!"
A flash of red flashed in Danju's eyes, and there was surprise in her tone.
"Girl, I've already heated up the food, please eat it quickly!"
Xiao Tao on the side was also holding a tray and reminded Minglan: "Girl, there are also osmanthus cakes that Brother Quan brought back from Fanlou today!"
“It’s delicious!”
Xiao Tao finally swallowed and added.
"hehe!"
Seeing Minglan having dinner served by Xiaotao and Danju, Sheng Changquan couldn't help but smile. He raised his head and looked in the direction of Qi Duke's Mansion, thinking to himself.
"At this time, the Duke of Qi's office should be anxious too!"
Sheng Changquan's sentence seemed to be a question, but in fact, it was an extremely affirmative attitude.
It turns out that the reason why Sheng Changquan went out today was to "success" the Duke of Qi and Princess Pingning!
At the very least, it is to "fulfill" Princess Pingning's wish to choose a good daughter-in-law!
