"What?" Ning Cheng looked at Shen Cha with a look of disbelief and said, "How is it possible? Impossible! My friends from the Western Regions said that this person has never been there since he ran away. There have been cases where no one was seen alive or dead, and their family has given up. How did this little daughter die with this completely missing person? Is it possible..." He frowned slightly, "This person later He's back? It's impossible. If he comes back, there are so many idle people in Ubi City. It's impossible that no one will see it, and it's impossible that no one will spread gossip! They make a living by doing this all day long, don't they? "
"What do you mean by spreading this for a living?" Mrs. Ning patted Ning Cheng, somewhat dumbfounded, "Although the poor people in their place only have money, they don't live by gossiping every day. , that’s not a good thing to say.”
"Mom, that's what they are. Whenever a new face appears in the city, they will swarm around it like flies. If they don't find out the origin of this new face, they won't let it go. Even Boss Luan is like this. . If he hadn’t brought so many bodyguards who were kept away from strangers, he would have been annoyed to death." Ning Cheng sighed softly and said, "Let’s not talk about this, let’s talk about the youngest daughter of the lord of Ubi City and... Her engaged fiancé is actually a very big deal in Ubi City. Everyone in every household knows their story. If that fiancé really comes back, it’s impossible for anyone to not know about it. It’s impossible. No one noticed that it was unconscionable."
"Calm down!" Mrs. Ning patted her adopted son, "Listen to the general and tell him slowly. There must be something we don't know about."
"General, please tell me quickly!" Ning Cheng flat-mouthed, feeling a little bit sorry for the youngest daughter of the lord of Ubi City. "I have always felt that this little daughter is really miserable. She is not kind to others. The former one Her fiancé is not a thing. He took advantage of her, let her have a child, and then ran away. Boss Luan, the man who married her, although he has always been nice to her, it seems that there is no affection between these two people. From what my friend said Judging from what others have said, their relationship is more like that of family members, not husband and wife."
"The relationship between husband and wife will eventually turn into family love. There is no problem with this. Love and love cannot last forever. Only family members can stay together forever, right?" Mrs. Ning sighed and touched Ning. Cheng Cheng's head said, "It's just that I also find it strange. People in Ubi City have always said that she died of illness, so why did they suddenly die together? If the city lord of Ubi City wants to hide the truth, he should tell those who know the truth It’s only right for everyone to silence themselves, because only dead people won’t reveal secrets. Or..." She looked at Shen Cha, "He has already done this, but Boss Luan is one step ahead of him?"
"I don't know about this. Boss Luan didn't write anything in the letter. He just said that after completing the task assigned to him by the master, the business in the Western Region is on the right track, and there is a suitable person to take over, so he doesn't have to do so much. Thank you for your hard work, now I can concentrate on staying in Daxia."
"Concentrate on staying in Daxia." Mrs. Ning sneered, "His Wangyou Powder business is so big, so he doesn't want to concentrate on staying in Daxia."
"Yes!" Shen Cha sighed, looked at Ning Cheng again, chuckled, and said, "Why is that expression?"
"I don't know what to say. What I thought was the truth turned out to be not the truth. I felt a little uncomfortable and awkward."
"It's not that your friend deliberately deceived you, but the story you know. I mean the story that the youngest daughter died of illness should have been thought up by the city lord and his son. It's not the truth. As for why Boss Luan did this The default theory is that the city lord made some kind of deal with the city lord’s son, but no one knows what the deal was, and he didn’t tell the Ning family’s patriarch.”
"I understand, I don't think my friend cheated on me, it's just..." Ning Cheng shook his head gently, "I can't explain clearly."
"I understand what you mean, but you have to know that it is not a good thing to say some things. According to the current situation, what Boss Luan wrote in the letter, I mean the saying of sharing the same fate, should be the so-called The truth is revealed. If the story in the letter is really told, the reputation of the lord of Ubi City and his ex-fiancé’s family will be greatly affected, and they may not even be able to continue to work in Ubi City.
Live in Bicheng. "
"So serious?" Seeing Shen Cha nod, Ning Cheng moved closer, "Then if that's the case, it would be very strange for them to let Boss Luan go, right?"
"It's strange but not surprising. After all, Boss Luan has nothing to do with their reputation. As long as Boss Luan leaves Ubi City, he will have no impact on them."
"That's right." Shen Haolin looked at the pieces of letter paper in Shen Cha's hand, smiled lightly, and said, "One is in Daxia and the other is in the Western Regions. If Boss Luan leaves the Western Regions, even if he tells these stories to everyone, Xia’s relatives and friends can’t influence the people in Ubi City.”
"That's true!" Ning Cheng nodded, "But Boss Luan is also a person in the story, isn't he?"
"No, in this story, he is a cold-eyed bystander. From his perspective, it can be seen that in his opinion, this is a joke between the powerful people in the Western Regions. She was watching the whole process of the story. , watching jokes, watching these people from the Western Regions make a fool of themselves in front of him. He regarded these as some interesting stories in the process of opening up the Western Regions trade routes, and would not indulge in them at all, nor would he receive any impact from them. "Who is this person?" Ning Cheng said with a look of disgust on his face, completely unable to understand Boss Luan's mentality, "But that little daughter is still his wife in the end, isn't she? He married Mrs. Liu without telling her." Madam still doesn’t know that there has ever been such a person who was equal to her." He paused for a moment, then continued, "This Boss Luan is nothing, he is probably no different from his ex-fiancé, yet he actually laughs at his wife's jokes. , there’s something wrong with your brain!”
"You can't say that, because there is only a contract between them, no feelings, let alone the so-called reality of husband and wife."
"You guys wait a minute!" good?"
Shen Cha looked at the people around him, all of them looked at him with curious eyes, and sighed softly, "Since there are two versions of this story, Xiao Chengzi, please tell everyone the version you know first. I Now let’s talk about the truth of this story, okay?”
Ning Cheng looked at Xue Ruitian, Jin Jing, and Jin Miaomiao, their eyes shifted from Shen Cha to herself, nodded slightly, and briefly and clearly explained the dispute between the Luan family head and Ubi City in the Western Region. Again.
"These are what I know." He looked at the other people in the room and said, "The story is just like this. Anyway, in my story, the youngest daughter of the city lord's family died of depression. Since her ex-fiancé She escaped from marriage and her children were snatched away by her ex-fiancé's family. Her health was not very good, and death from illness is an acceptable reason."
"You mean..." Xue Ruitian touched his chin, "The fiancé of the youngest daughter of the lord of Ubi City abandoned her and ran away with the daughter of a rival family?" Seeing Ning Cheng nod, he frowned slightly, " This story sounds very familiar!"
"Have you heard of it too?"
"Well, it's very possible that the story I know is completely different from yours." Xue Ruitian reached out and patted Shen Haolin on the shoulder, "Do you remember the owner of the Western Region Winery in Xijing City?"
"The owner of the Western Region Winery?" Shen Haolin thought for a moment, "Ah, I know, Yao Jia likes one of their wines, saying it was brewed by the boss himself. But later, the boss and his wife left Xijing City. , they said they wanted to visit other places. A few years later, Yaojia received a letter from them, saying that they had settled in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River. They felt that the environment was pretty good and their life was very comfortable. However, After the couple left, the winery did not continue to open. Yaojia bought all the wine before they left, and now he still has dozens of bottles in his wine cellar!" At this point, He suddenly realized, "You mean that boss is..."
"Yeah!" ," he looked at everyone in the room, "How about I tell you the story I know? After that, let's listen to Xiaocha's story about what Boss Luan knew.
One, okay? "
Everyone else in the room nodded. In fact, any version of the story was unimportant to them. Listening to the story was important.
"Wait a minute!" Shen Cha interrupted Xue Ruitian, "How old are the boss and wife of that winery?"
"About the same as Boss Luan? No, he should be one or two years older than them. If they are still alive now, they should be around fifty-four or fifty-five years old." Xue Ruitian sighed softly and said, "We I was still young at that time, about ten years old, and would go for a walk in the market from time to time. Yaojia likes wine, as you all know, so what we looked at the most was wine, and later we fell in love with this restaurant. The winery owned by the owner of the Western Region. The wine in the Western Region is different from the wine in our Daxia. They mainly focus on fruit wine, and they don’t get drunk very much, so they are very suitable for children. From time to time, we follow the winery’s people After getting acquainted with each other, I asked the boss about the story between him and the landlady. He said that his family and the landlady’s family were actually incompatible feuds in the Western Regions. Although they lived in the same city, one was in the east of the city and the other was in the west. Neither of them would go to each other's territory. His family had already arranged a marriage for him. His fiancée was the daughter of the city lord, and she was also a very cute little girl. However, he had only met a few times, and with that little girl I don’t know the girl very well. He doesn’t like this marriage and wants his family to cancel it, but what the family values is the status of the city lord. Although their family also has a title, the status of the city lord is still very high. Naturally, I want to get married to a high family.
"It turns out that in the Western Region, marriages are decided this way."
"No, in most cases, you still put yourself first and stay with whomever you like. This is rarely the case. This situation usually means that the two families who want to get married each get what they need. You can use this marriage to get what you want. This is the case in this boss's family. Their family has been fighting with the feuding family for many years, but no one can defeat the other. Their family just wants to dominate the feuding family. , so I chose to marry the city lord, and the city lord, for some reasons, also wanted to find a more reliable son-in-law for his daughter, so he agreed to the marriage."
"So that's it." Shen Cha nodded, "What happened later, according to Brother Xiaotian, in fact, the boss and his wife didn't know each other at the beginning, right?"
"Yes, but as a little boy, he was curious about people from feuding families, so he took a few of his brothers and went to their territory in disguise and peeked at them secretly. In the end, he fell in love with their girl at a glance. The terrible thing is that his girl also fell in love with him, and they fell in love at first sight. But they were feuding, it was impossible to get married, and their families would not agree, so they waited until they reached a certain age. , and then secretly left home and stayed away from this city. They felt that they could be found no matter what in the Western Region, so they simply ran to Daxia and came to Xijing City to open a winery."
"Wait a minute, that means there is no story about the city lord's daughter from beginning to end?"
"No, the two of them rarely meet. The only times they do meet are at banquets and the like. In this case, the meeting is just a nod and then they pass by. There is no friendship or emotion at all. Therefore, he has always been very dissatisfied with his marriage and has always wanted to get rid of him, but his family did not agree, so they thought of elopement. They knew that their elopement would bring great benefits to the two of them. It brings a lot of trouble to their families, but they have to do this for their own future."
"You have to do this. They will do great harm to the city lord's daughter."
"No!" , that little girl also has someone she likes, but she just doesn’t dare to tell her family, and they all have children before, so that person probably won’t give up on her.”
"Did he say who the city lord's daughter liked?"
"Yes!"
