"Wait a minute!" Ning Cheng jumped up from the stool, interrupting Xue Ruitian's words, "I'll take care of it!"
"Okay, you stroke it slowly!" Xue Ruitian was not angry when he interrupted what he was going to say next. Seeing the distressed look on his face, he felt a little funny, "Don't be anxious, think about it carefully."
"What the Marquis means is that the engaged couple each have someone they like. The man fell in love with the daughter of his feuding family, regretted the marriage and eloped with his sweetheart, right? And the woman fell in love with him. She married her fiancé’s cousin, is her child also the cousin’s?”
"That's what you mean!"
"Does the man's family know?"
"Yes!" As long as they don't have to be intimate, they can be together, chat, play, learn to read and so on."
"Yes, I heard that is the case." Ning Cheng nodded, "Especially when the woman's father is the city lord. He wants to find study companions, playmates, etc. for his daughter. There will be many families in the city who send their children there. of."
"That's right!" , much deeper than the so-called unmarried couple's relationship. After all, the woman and the man have basically never seen each other in so many years."
"The city lord's youngest daughter and this cousin have been in love for a long time, right?" Shen Cha looked at Xue Ruitian, "The two of them have been together for too long, and their relationship is indeed much better."
"That's right."
"Wait a minute, you two, I have another question." Ning Cheng was stunned, blinked, looked at Xue Ruitian and said, "Listen to what the Marquis just said, do they have a big age difference?"
"It's not very big. I heard from the owner of the winery that it's about three or four years old. In fact, it doesn't matter. This is the default policy of every family in the Western Region. In fact, if the little daughter doesn't fall in love with the cousin, But he has fallen in love with other playmates, that is, people from other families, and the original engagement will definitely be terminated smoothly."
"Then why is that?" Ning Cheng looked confused, "Why can't I just fall in love with that cousin? They are already in love with each other, wouldn't it be good to be together? If that family wasn't for clinging to each other, The city lord wouldn’t have made this engagement, right?”
"Well..."
"Anyway, I don't quite understand. Since both parties to the engagement have someone they like, wouldn't it be better if they just tell their families directly? Can't it be enough to let them each be with the person they like? Of course, the man There will definitely be some twists and turns there. After all, he likes the daughter of a rival family, but the woman's side definitely doesn't have so many troubles. She just changed from a cousin to a cousin. Speaking of which, it's still the same. Here’s the whole family!”
"It's really difficult for the man to reach the sky, and it's not so easy for the woman to achieve her wish."
"Why?" Ning Cheng put her hands on her hips, "What is more important than lovers finally getting married!"
Xue Ruitian looked at Ning Cheng and chuckled. When he saw Ning Cheng waiting for him angrily, he waved his hand towards him.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, I'm not laughing at you!"
"what is that?"
"Because the way you are now and what you said just now are exactly the same as what I said back then. That's what I asked back then. Since we all have people we care about, let's just stay safe! The owner of the winery and I Say, your former fiancée is not difficult at all. They are all from the same family, so the wealth does not go to outsiders."
"Yes, yes, that's what I mean."
"The owner of the winery laughed at me at that time, saying that I was young and too naive. If it was really that easy to solve, why
What would develop into that later? " There was no wine to sell when the door opened, so he couldn't make a sound. Yaojia was beside me at the time. He was also a very curious guy. He was particularly interested in the story of the winery owner and his wife. He also agreed with me and said not to tell us. , just move all the inventory of his winery. Anyway, the palace’s wine cellar is very large, so it must be able to accommodate it.”
"Yeah!" Shen Cha chuckled, handed Shen Haolin a cup of tea, watched him drink half of it, and drank the remaining half. "This is like Brother Yaojia's style. He is best at fanning the flames secretly."
"That's right!" Shen Haolin shook his head helplessly, "On the surface, he is calm, but the words he speaks are like soft knives, stabbing at the vital points one by one. For a winery owner, it is impossible to sell wine without wine. It’s the worst thing.”
"It's not just that there's no wine to sell, it's that there's no wine to sell. The wine was taken away, and I didn't earn a single copper!" Shen Cha shook her head helplessly, "This is the really painful thing." She raised her head. Looking at Xue Ruitian, "So, you threaten people like this, and they tell you the truth?"
"It's true. After hearing this, the owner of the winery looked confused. He didn't expect that we would use this to threaten him. After he reacted, he couldn't laugh or cry. Seeing our persistence, he had no choice but to tell us the truth."
"What is the truth?" Ning Cheng looked at Xue Ruitian curiously, "Is there any other hidden secrets within their two families?"
"Correct answer!" The big family is a perfect match, and it can be regarded as a very good marriage."
"Indeed!" Shen Cha nodded, "So, what's the secret?"
"On the man's side, the person who arranged this marriage for the man is actually not the man's parents, but his grandparents." Go to the city lord’s house and become the city lord’s son-in-law.”
"Ah?" Ning Cheng was stunned after hearing Xue Ruitian's words, "Is this the man's request or the city lord's request?"
“What do you think?” My son-in-law is here, right?"
"Yes!" Ning Cheng nodded. Although he understood this, he immediately thought of something he didn't understand. "But why does the man have such a request?"
"It's because of favoritism!" Jin Jing sneered, "It's probably because there are several children in the family, and one of them is partial to one, and then he wants to pass on the family fortune to the favored one, so he tries to weaken the power of the other children. In addition, the Western Region Unlike us, both boys and girls can inherit the family business, so there will be more and more ideas and tricks to play."
"Hey, Xiaojing is right, that's what it means. The man's grandfather had a total of three sons and one daughter. The daughter got married early, so there is no need to consider it at all. The only thing to consider is these three sons. These three Among the sons, the man’s father is the youngest, the cousin’s father is the second, and the eldest son’s family has long been separated.”
"Is it this dick who is partial to others?"
"Yes!" For example, if the adults in the family are partial, they must be partial to this capable person, right?"
"Not necessarily." Jin Jing shook her head gently, "The more capable someone is, the less likely he is to be favored. On the contrary, the person who is incompetent but sweet-tongued and able to coax people is more likely to be favored."
"Indeed, this grandfather is very partial to the second child, because he is nothing but good at coaxing people, but the third child, except not being able to coax people, is good at everything. Then the old man thinks , if he is a hundred years from now, his family will
If the karma fell into the hands of the third child, he would definitely not treat his second child well, so he tried every means to torment the second child and his family. The winery owner’s mother had a difficult delivery when she gave birth to her second child, and her father-in-law deliberately delayed the delivery. As a result, one of the two died. At that time, the winery owner was only five years old, but he still remembered his mother’s tragic situation. new. "
"That grandfather of his is really nothing. If he doesn't like the third child, then we can separate the families. Why would he harm his life?" Ning Cheng stamped his foot fiercely, "That's disgusting!"
"Don't we also need to divide the property when the family is divided?" Madam Ning pulled Ning Cheng and patted his arm gently. "Since we don't want to give the third son anything, naturally we won't mention the separation of the family."
"The old lady is right." Xue Ruitian nodded, sighed softly, and said, "I asked the boss the same thing at the time, and the boss said the same thing as the old lady. Not only that, this old man also wanted to do something to himself His son also wanted to destroy his grandson, but because he was on guard, he didn't succeed at all."
"This is not unusual, right?" Jin Miaomiao patted Hongye's arm next to her, "Just like many high-ranking families in our country, in order to compete for family inheritance rights, some bad things happened, right? Isn’t that right? We’ve watched a lot, haven’t we?”
"That's right." Hongye said with a look of disgust, "To sacrifice a lot of lives for a family property, the old man is too confused."
"You're right, but the old man is in the game, so he doesn't feel confused at all." Xue Ruitian spread his hands, "Seeing that the third son's family is developing very well, the business is huge, and they can live a very happy life without using their own property. Well, the old man felt very uncomfortable. At this time, there was news that the city owner wanted to choose a husband for his little daughter, so the old man recommended himself, saying that his grandson could be a good one, and he could also be a door-to-door son-in-law."
"Actually, they didn't mention this at all, right?"
"Of course, I haven't thought about this at all. In fact, the city lord doesn't care at all. Even if he comes to the door or not, even if he gets married, he won't worry that his daughter will be wronged, unless the family no longer wants to stay in this city. .”
"But when the winery owner eloped with the daughter of his feuding family, his grandfather should have been dead. The person who made the decision was either his second uncle or his father, right?"
"It was his second uncle. His father fell ill and passed away, but before that, he had given all the property in his name to the owner of the winery. Otherwise, even if they elope, they would not have much money and their life would not be easy at all. However, his second uncle didn’t know at all that the son-in-law came to his house. It was actually a lie by his grandfather, because the city lord’s family did not agree to the visit, but only said that they would get married when their two children grew up. As it turned out, the boss and his second uncle knew that his son-in-law came to the house. My son fell in love with his younger brother's fiancée and refused to dissolve the engagement no matter what, because he was afraid that his only son would become someone else's son-in-law."
"It turns out that this father and son, especially the boss's grandfather, are not human beings. If he hadn't told his family that the city lord had not agreed to come to the door, there wouldn't have been such a tragedy." Ning Cheng curled his lips in disgust, He looked at Shen Cha and said, "General, the Marquis has finished telling the story he knows. It's your turn."
"Then my story should be similar to Brother Xiaotian. Boss Luan also said that in fact, the person who made the city lord's daughter pregnant was not the fiancé in the rumors, but someone else, and this person was also the fiancé. It belongs to the family, but Boss Luan doesn’t know who he is specifically.”
"So, the one who died together with the city lord's youngest daughter was..."
"It should be the cousin." Shen Cha sighed softly, "Because what Boss Luan wrote in the letter was..." She lowered her head and looked at the letter, "Ah, here, the biological father of the children is used. What I just told you is not very strict, it should be that he died together with the biological father of the children."
"That's right." Xue Ruitian nodded, "It seems that the little daughter is still very resentful of her child's biological father and has chosen to die with him."
"Listen to me, the trigger of the whole thing is actually the owner of the winery." Shen Cha looked at Xue Ruitian and said, "That cousin later succeeded his father and became the leader of the family. he
He is not a big-minded person. He feels that it is his brother's fault that he cannot marry the girl he likes, and that the girl has always been burdened with the bad reputation of her fiancé breaking the contract. Therefore, he wanted to find his brother, capture him and the person who escaped from the marriage with him, and deal with them according to family law in front of the people of the entire city. He didn't know where he got the news that his younger brother was doing business in Daxia, so he sent people to Daxia to arrest him. Unexpectedly, the arresters missed him, and his brother had already brought his family with him. Ran. His men had no choice but to go back and resume their lives honestly. "
"Then he must be mad? He must find the person who leaked the secret, right?"
"Yes!" Shen Cha nodded, "As a result, after checking again and again, I found the head of the city lord's youngest daughter."
