Gong Fujiao Daughter-in-law

Chapter 8 Grievance
These words were extremely ugly, since Lu who was sitting at the bottom hadn't said a single word since he showed up, as soon as Wei Cang left, the cold knife stabbed her.

The word "not being able to get on the stage" seemed to be a knot in her heart, which caused Lu's figure to sway, and her eyes immediately filled with tears.

Her origin is well known in Duke Su's mansion, because the Duke loves her a lot, and her son Wei Rong is both civil and military, and he is very good at fighting for her face. Therefore, in recent years, there have been few people of her origin. carry.

Now, in front of the whole family, Weiying picked her up and exposed her scars.

Wei Rong also turned pale all of a sudden, he got up at a loss, and bowed to Wei Ying: "Ordinary people don't mention the past, why is aunt?"

Wei Ying was naturally kind and amiable to her nephew, she glanced at Wei Rong, saw that there were tears in his immature eyes, and sighed.

"This is between me and your mother."

Wei Rong froze for a moment, not knowing how to react, he froze on the spot for a while.

At this moment, Mrs. Lu just got up, she saluted Cui Ji, and said in a tearful voice, "Today is a happy day for my sister-in-law to return home. You can't complain to your wife because my concubine made my sister-in-law unhappy, and my concubine will retire."

After that, she took two steps back, held her son's hand, pulled him back and left.

Ji Xiuxiu was dumbfounded sitting there.

She didn't know what was going on at the moment, but Wei Ningshu was kind and whispered: "Sister-in-law three, go back with the second madam."

Ji Xiuxiu just woke up from the dream, got up hastily and ran out.

Xie Zhiyun watched the big scene carefully, thinking that the matter of Lu's departure would be considered a nuisance, but Wei Ying didn't give up, and pointed the finger at Wei Ningshu who kindly reminded Ji Xiuxiu.

"Miss Shu is now twenty-one, but not yet married. Why is that? Is it because you don't want to marry, or is it because your mother-in-law never cared about you? Shu'er, now that my aunt is back, why do you have any troubles to tell her?"

This time it was also not Cui Ji who had been ridiculed all night.

Xie Zhiyun only heard a young girl's voice explode in her ears.

"Auntie, you have come from afar. You are a guest. The house was full of joy. My mother got up early to arrange the household furnishings for the tired house. She was so busy all day long. You came back without saying thank you. Picking and picking here makes the whole family restless."

Wei Ning'an suffered at Xie Zhiyun's place yesterday, and was reprimanded by his mother, so he could endure today's banquet, but now Wei Ying is endless, finding fault with Cui Ji several times, how can Wei Ning'an bear it.

There is nothing in this world that she can endure.

Not even the aunt my father felt most guilty about.

Xie Zhijun looked around, and saw Wei Ning'an was still like a chicken with fried hair, standing there with his neck stalked, glaring, his face full of resentment.

"Aunt, you are too deceitful!"

After she made such a fuss, the atmosphere in the hall eased up a lot. She is a child of twelve or thirteen, and she speaks without restraint, no one will take her words seriously.

Another one, Shen Wenru is about the same age as Wei Ning'an, no matter how resentful Wei Ying is, he can't resent a child.

Therefore, she was not angry, and the coldness on her face eased a lot.

On the contrary, Cui Ji's complexion sank all of a sudden.

She glanced at Zhao Nanny beside her, and said in a cold voice, "Ning An, is this how your mother taught you to behave? You are so disrespectful and ignorant of etiquette, you should be punished, why don't you apologize to your aunt."

Wei Ning'an stared round and blushed, "I don't!"

Cui Ji was about to get angry, but Wei Ying stood up and shook the wrinkles on her body.

"Forget it, it's late at night, and I don't want to bother my sister-in-law too much. This is the end of today's reminiscence."

After Weiying finished speaking, she flicked her sleeves and left first.

When her emaciated figure disappeared into the hall, all the people present breathed a sigh of relief.

Cui Ji rubbed his sore forehead, took a slow breath, and put on a gentle smile again.

"Okay, you all go back and rest."

With her words, everyone got up and retreated from the main room one after another.

Xie Zhijun and Wei Ji walked in front, and they turned into the path on the west side after the brothers and daughters-in-law all left after paying respects.

Wei Ji was in front, Xie Zhijun was behind, the two walked quietly for a while, and Xie Zhijun breathed out a breath of mist.

"Why is my aunt so temperamental?" Xie Zhiyun whispered.

Wei Ji's non-stop footsteps, this is not some family scandal, so he said it bluntly.

"In the early years, my aunt didn't want to marry Huzhou Mu. She argued with my father for a long time, and finally married Huzhou with hatred."

Xie Zhiyun hummed, she knew all this a long time ago, she turned her eyes and asked again.

"My aunt has been married to Huzhou for seven years, but she only gave birth to one daughter?"

She took advantage of the lights in the garden to look carefully at Wei Ji's tall back, and it was likely that nothing would happen when he returned to Chunhuating, he slowed down so that she didn't need to chase after him.

But his steps were firm and steady, like a mountain peak moving forward, blocking the galloping chill.

"Wen Ru was not born to my aunt, but an adopted daughter adopted by my aunt."

Xie Zhiyun's eyes lit up, and her heart turned a thousand times, but when it came to her lips, she still asked gently.

"This is the only child my aunt has?"

This time, Wei Ji paused slightly.

Xie Zhiyun's heart tensed up, and he was still thinking about the future and the tension that should not have arisen, so he heard Wei Ji say: "That's not the case."

Wei Ji stopped and turned to look at Xie Zhijun.

The lights were panicked, the stars and the moon were like hooks, and the fine moonlight fell on Xie Zhijun's moon-like face, shining brightly in her eyes.

She is like a clear wind, a bright moon, a warm spring, and a lively early summer.

Wei Ji never lied, nor did he bother to lie.

She asked, and he told her.

"No, my aunt adopted a daughter in the early years, but she disappeared after marrying in Huzhou. Later, my aunt adopted Wen Ru. In addition, the Shen family has already selected an adoptive heir, so that should also be regarded as my aunt's child."

Xie Zhijun raised his head and looked at his eyebrows by the moonlight.

Wei Ji's expression was as pale as water, and his star pupils shone brighter and brighter under the stars and moon, with a soul-stirring spirit.

"Why, why do you ask this?"

Xie Zhiyun's heart trembled slightly, some words fell to her lips, but she suddenly felt timid.

She was afraid of asking an answer that she didn't even want to hear, and she was afraid that this answer would instantly overturn the current peaceful life, and it would never be restored to its original state.

Xie Zhiyun's eyelashes trembled slightly, her eyes wandered, and finally escaped from his breathtaking gaze.

Xie Zhiyun's lips curled up into a perfect smile, she lowered her eyes and said, "It's just curiosity."

"It's cold outside, let's go back earlier." After Xie Zhiyun said, he took the lead and walked forward.

Wei Ji watched her figure wrapped in the cloak disappear, and continued to move forward without hesitation.

After returning to Chunhuating, the husband and wife went to freshen up.

Wei Ji had to read military books and military affairs at night, so he probably stayed in the study in the wing room. Xie Zhiyun went back to the main room by himself, and after washing, he sat on the Arhat bed and asked Mu Yun to dye himself Danko.

The lights were on in the room, and the maids were busy coming and going, but Xie Zhiyun had already lost his mind.

Zhao Yu knew why she was absent-minded, and there were so many people in the room at the moment, it was impossible to ask in detail.

She thought for a while, then smiled and said: "Miss, why don't you ask the small kitchen to prepare some grain and fruit cakes, and we will send them to Guiyin Temple tomorrow as offerings."

Only then did Xie Zhiyun come back to his senses, and said in a daze, "Okay."

After the danko on the hands and feet were all dyed, Xie Zhiyun took a rest early, and she asked everyone to settle down, leaving only Zhao Yu to gossip for a while.

When there were only two people left in the main house, Xie Zhiyun said to Zhao Yu: "I always feel that there is something strange about this matter."

Sitting on the ottoman, Zhao Yu asked in a low voice, "Is the young lady talking about the aunt or...that one?"

Xie Zhiyun said: "There are all of them."

"From what I see today, my father-in-law is not a ruthless person. Back then Huzhou Mu led Huzhou to surrender to my father-in-law. He was not captured, so there is no need for my father-in-law to send my aunt to marry him."

"But from what Wei Ji said, it was indeed the father-in-law who forced the aunt to remarry back then, which is very intriguing," Xie Zhiyun said, "We didn't know that this aunt had an adopted daughter, and this adopted daughter was engaged to Wei Ji. It just disappeared after going to Huzhou."

"Whether it is biological or not, it is impossible for Huzhou Mu to treat his father's only niece lightly. It is unusual for the daughter of Huzhou Mu's family to disappear."

Zhao Yu nodded, and followed suit: "Yezhou and Taixing had never heard of this marriage back then. If there had been rumors, the Patriarch would not have let the young lady marry into the Wei family, so this marriage is likely to be from the Wei family. Decide first."

Xie Zhijun's expression turned cold when he heard that she was taking the place of his father.

"When did my father pay attention to my marriage? If it weren't for me being in my twenties in a few days, which would hinder my younger brother's marriage, he wouldn't be so eager to marry me to such a family."

Xie Zhijun pursed his lips, with unwillingness and resentment in his voice.

At this time, she and Zhao Yu didn't pay attention, a tall figure just stood outside the closed door.

Xie Zhiyun looked gloomy.

"When I got married last year, do you know how the ladies Wang, Su, and Duan laughed at me? Laughed at me for marrying a reckless man who didn't know a lot of characters, laughed at my husband-in-law who would only kill people, laughed at me The daughter of the Langhuan family wants to marry Mudleg."

Xie Zhiyun's eyes were flushed: "This marriage, from the beginning of the conclusion, no one has asked my opinion."

Her words were choked with sobs, and there was incomprehension and grievance towards her father in her eyes.

"This is my good father. This is the father who is dedicated to his daughter? Does he know Wei Ji's temperament? You know that Wei Ji's heart is made of stone, and he kills without blinking an eye."

Seeing that she was about to cry as she spoke, Zhao Yu felt very sad. She patted Xie Zhiyun's back lightly, comforting others softly.

"Miss, don't be sad, my uncle is actually very good."

Xie Zhiyun didn't answer, and Wei Ji outside the house didn't want to listen anymore.

He is still expressionless, calm and reserved, even if he just heard the belittling of him from his wife, he doesn't seem to care at all.

Wei Ji stood outside the house for a long time, until the cold wind hit and the shadows of the trees swayed, Wei Ji took a look at the closed door, turned around and left decisively.

I don't know if his heart is really made of stone.
