I do fortune-telling in ancient astrology

Chapter 22 The slap was loud and lingered for three days
Mrs. Ouyang said again: "It's common for women to be jealous. It mainly depends on how men mediate. General Wei, don't think that you can stay out of the matter. Today's incident is all because of you. General Wei has a clear eye and a bright heart. If you say he didn't notice Chen Xinan's admiration for you Heart, that can’t be justified.”

"The general already has a marriage contract. If the person who was pushed into the frozen lake today was Princess Youning, would General Wei reprimand Chen Xinan like this?"

Wei Mingji didn't even think about it, and replied: "Of course! The younger generation has managed the capital for so long, and has always been right about things and wrong about people."

Hearing this, Wen Lin laughed, and asked, "If General Wei gathers concubines in the future and causes trouble due to jealousy, is it true that the general will use the means of managing the capital to punish the female family members?"

Wei Mingji glanced at him sideways, and said: "I never thought that there would be a group of concubines, only one female family member is enough."

Wen Lin took advantage of the victory to ask: "One has been in love with the general for a long time and has a strong family background, which can benefit the general in the future. The other is indifferent to the general and has a declining family background. If the general is involved, which one will the general choose?"

Wei Mingji said without hesitation, "I chose the right one."

Wei Mingji gave him a hard look, not knowing why he had to answer such a meaningless question.

Wen Lin chuckled, "If I were you, I would choose the one who loves me and has a strong family background. As for the other...you know, orphans and widows, apart from relying on the mother clan, the family has nothing to rely on .”

Lin Xingwei couldn't stop nodding as he listened, regardless of other things, if he only looked at this marriage simply, Chen Xinan was indeed more suitable than himself to marry Wei Mingji.

Mrs. Nanyang Hou pursed her lips for a moment of joy, and said: "It's been half a year since the princess and General Wei discussed marriage, and I'm not afraid of your jokes. Today is the first time I see my future son-in-law. General Wei has never been here because of his busy schedule. In the Hou Mansion, the generals from my family don’t want to see him either.”

"If I hadn't met the general at Mr. Cao's house today, I really wouldn't know what my son-in-law looks like! Today, with so many people present, whether this relative will succeed or retire, General Wei has to give my family Ran Ran an accurate word. .”

Wei Mingji's face was gloomy, like the cloudy sky outside, falling snow particles.

He said righteously: "Wei has his own considerations in marrying a wife. Wei will explain to Nanyang Marquis Mansion about this relative. I have said about the Xinan county lord, and I will wait until she comes. "

They were chatting, Princess Yingchuan didn't dare to intervene, their every word and sentence turned into firewood, and Princess Yingchuan couldn't sit still.

Waiting left and right for Chen Xinan not to come, Princess Yingchuan sent her maidservants three times to urge her, and finally two strong maidservants escorted Chen Xinan over.

When Princess Yingchuan went up, she slapped Chen Xinan's face with a loud slap. Even if she walked around the beam for three days, the lingering sound would not dissipate.

"What a wicked thing you have done! Whether all the men in the world are dead or what, you just chase after the married man!" Princess Yingchuan took all the anger she received at this moment on her daughter.

He cursed again, "I don't know how to live and die, if you affect the future of our sons, you will be skinned and boned!"

Chen Xinan stared at Lin Xingwei viciously, and did not respond to the scolding.

Mrs. Ouyang said: "Shut up. If Princess Yingchuan wants to teach you a lesson, please take it home and teach me a lesson. Don't beat and scold me here. We still have to ask Xinan County Lord a few words."

Hearing Mrs. Ouyang's persuasion, Princess Yingchuan stood aside angrily.

Mrs. Ouyang asked directly: "Xinan County Lord, do you secretly admire General Wei?"

Chen Xinan naturally refused to admit it to death, she could pretend to admire General Wei overtly and secretly, but she dared not admit it and could not admit it.To say that is to really covet a married man.

At that time, if Wei Mingji married her, it would be fine, but if not, would she still marry?If she married, who would want someone who pretended to be someone else.

Lin Xingwei understands that this is called secret love.

Wei Mingji asked: "Xinan County Lord, I invite you to ride in a carriage with me, can someone accompany me?"

Chen Xinan's voice was trembling: "Yes, my maidservant also has General Zuoqiu."

"Did I just ask something about your daughter Chu Wang?"

"Yes, I have been in touch with Prince Chu's daughter, and I know some trivial things about her family. General Wei asked me about the murder of Prince Chu's son during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Then did I tell you other unrelated things?"

Chen Xinan shook his head, "No."

With such a question and answer, the matter of Chen Xinan riding in Wei Mingji's carriage today was clearly explained. There was no personal relationship between the two of them, it was all due to official business.

Wei Mingji cupped his hands to the two wives and said: "Mrs. Nanyang Hou, Mrs. Ouyang, I've finished my questions. I have no friendship with the Xinan county magistrate. There was such a big misunderstanding because of sharing a carriage. I ask Mrs. Hou and Mrs. Ouyang for help." Princess Youning apologizes."

He added: "This carriage has caused such great unhappiness. After returning home, the younger generation will chop up this carriage and use it as firewood. The horse and the driver will not be used again."

Lin Xingwei rolled his big eyes at Wei Mingji, and secretly slandered: I don't see you chopping yourself up and burning it as firewood, shutting up the carriage and the driver.

Wen Lin gave Wei Mingji a thumbs up, and praised: "General Wei has the determination to cut grass and roots, I really admire you."

Turning to Chen Xinan again: "Xinan County Lord, can you hear me? General Wei doesn't even use the carriage you used to ride in anymore. If you still don't know General Wei's determination, then it's your fault."

"Oh, by the way, the county lord of Xinan may not know me yet. I'm Wen Linwen Suiwan, the soon-to-be servant of the Ting Wei, and also the foster brother of Princess Youning. Princess Ning's trouble, then I won't be polite to you."

Wen Lin said the most ruthless words with the kindest smile, Lin Xingwei suddenly felt that it was good to have someone to support her, and she was quite useful.

Chen Xinan was naturally dissatisfied, mourning and feeling very pitiful: "I heard that Princess Youning acted perversely, and I just quarreled with her at the Lin family's birthday banquet. After seeing General Wei today, I just feel that I shouldn't be the same. The princess got angry for no reason, so she wanted to apologize to her, but before she could say anything, Cao Ruicen quarreled with me."

As Chen Xinan spoke, big tears fell, and he sobbed: "Huang Xuan spoke for me, and the two of them didn't deal with each other. Princess Ning got up and poured the pear ointment on my face. I am I was so angry that I waited for Princess Youning to slap her when I placed the order, but she viciously pushed me into the icy lake. Frozen to death first."

In this way, she was indeed the most wronged one. She enjoyed the treatment of ice and fire in Cao's mansion, and was even slapped resoundingly by her mother.

After hearing her daughter's narration, Princess Yingchuan calmed down, and said: "It's just a quarrel between the girls, and a misunderstanding caused by sharing a carriage with General Wei. Although our Chen family is a military general, However, the family education is very strict, and it's not like my daughter can't get married, so how could she covet someone else's future husband."

Mrs. Nanyang Hou turned to Huang Xuan who was huddled aside, and asked in a cold voice: "Miss Huang, let me ask you, when the Xinan County Lord and Youning County Lord were in conflict, what were you doing?"

Huang Xuan was suddenly named, and raised his head in panic: "I..."

"She's on the sidelines!..." Lin Xingwei said loudly.

Mrs. Nanyang Hou glanced over, and Lin Xingwei closed her mouth resentfully.

Princess Yingchuan's temper rose again, and she rushed over to give Huang Xuan another shocking slap.

He scolded: "My son's behavior is unstable, and it's all because of you, a lowly maidservant! Last time, the son of Bing Cao said something unpleasant to my son, but you actually urged my son to take revenge and broke his leg, hurting him." I had to go to my family to apologize, and I was ridiculed a lot. I reprimanded you at that time, thinking that your father served in the army for the sake of merit, and I didn't care about it. Today, you have a relapse of old illness and provoked General Wei And on the head of Princess Youning!"

Princess Yingchuan's mood was not going well, and after she took a deep breath to relieve herself, she cursed again: "You have ruined my son's reputation, you have caused my son to have a conflict with Princess Youning, and almost killed my son, I'm so sorry. This is to inform the prince, and hand over your lowly maidservant to Huang Duwei to discipline him himself!"

Huang Xuan was frightened, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and begged after a long while, but Princess Yingchuan asked Chen's servants to drag Huang Xuan up and send him back to his father and brother.

That was the end of the matter, Cao Ruicen looked at Chen Xinan very proudly.Lin Xingwei was frowning, she knew that Mrs. Nanyang Hou would still care about her after she returned home.
