After becoming a widow, I raised my traitor brother

Wei Zi and Yu Hehuan walked out of the gate of Magpie Bridge Immortal. As expected, they saw a crowd of people at the end of the street and it was very noisy.

The two of them got closer and passed through the bustling crowd watching the fun. They saw officers and soldiers carrying a dozen beggars in ragged clothes and covered with injuries. The other officers and soldiers were breaking into a house. In just a moment, they took the beggars to that house. The family's two youngest sons were arrested.

The two boys were frightened and cried hard. The couple grabbed their sons' clothes tightly and cried: "What kind of law is this for running into someone's house in broad daylight to arrest someone?! My two sons are only ten years old. They What kind of crime can you commit?! Is there any justice left?! Your Excellency is the Minister of Justice, can you do whatever you want to common people like us?!"

The onlookers couldn't stand it and pointed at Xiao Fengxian one after another.

Xiao Fengxian was sitting in front of a stall on the side of the street eating wontons. The hanging flags covered his eyebrows, and Wei Zi could only vaguely see the lower half of his face.

After he finished a bowl of wontons leisurely and wiped his hands, he raised his hand to raise the flag.

The winter sun fell on his face. He hadn't seen it for many days. He had lost weight, and his jawline had become cleaner and more desolate. His whole person looked deserted. His narrow fox eyes had lost their former naughty and unruly appearance, and his pupils were as dark as black. It is as if the abyss cannot be illuminated even by the warm sunshine.

Wei Zi squeezed the handkerchief tightly.

There was a slight pain in my heart.

Xiao Fengxian didn't seem to notice her and said casually: "Of course I have a basis for arresting people. Your Majesty has a decree to catch the person who spread the nursery rhyme of Xuanke Temple. The nursery rhyme that was circulated in the market a while ago, you guys My two sons are also singers, so it is reasonable for me to arrest them."

The couple cried and argued: "The children are young and ignorant, how do they know what that nursery rhyme means? They just learned it from others! What's more, there are so many people singing it, why do the adults arrest our children alone?! They are so young, if they go to prison, they will be scared to death!"

There was a continuous flow of crying.

Some of the old, young, women and children in the crowd also wiped away tears.

Xiao Fengxian picked her ears impatiently and shook the roster in her hand: "You are not the only one. Everyone on the roster will be arrested and interrogated one by one. When the person behind the scenes is caught, he will naturally be released. Come back. Catch me!"

Following his order, the officers and soldiers stopped being polite and pushed the couple away and took the two children away.

Xiao Fengxian stood up and put a piece of silver on the table to serve as wonton money.

From a distance, he glanced coldly in Wei Zi's direction.

Wei Zi was startled. When he came to his senses, the other party had already looked away. According to the order of the roster, he led the guards to another house to arrest people.

She was in a daze. Xiao Fengxian's glance just now seemed to be looking at her and someone else.

Are you watching Boss Jade?
When did he get involved with Boss Jade...

With Xiao Fengxian arresting people everywhere, the entire Tongque Street was turned upside down and everyone was in danger.

Yu Hehuan and Wei Zi walked back.

Wei Zi said: "I heard that the nursery rhyme is related to the Xuanke Temple case 18 years ago. I didn't expect that it would be uncovered again after so long. I don't know who the person behind the scenes is. He wanted to overturn the case, but inadvertently With so many people implicated, he must feel bad, right?"

After she finished speaking, Yu Hehuan hadn't spoken to her for a long time.

She looked to her side curiously. Yuhehuan lowered her eyes and kept turning the red lotus fan in her hand, looking very worried.

She was puzzled: "Boss Yu, what's wrong with you?"

Yu Hehuan shook her head: "Maybe I didn't eat enough for lunch. As you know, I don't care about eating when I get busy."

"Your health is important, Boss Yu, you still have to take care of yourself." Wei Zi didn't think about it, just warned him softly.

She saw Jade Acacia and the others at Queqiao Fairy as matchmakers. Business was good at the end of the year. Many families were busy marrying off their daughters and wives. Wei Zi saw that they were too busy, so she took the initiative to help organize some wedding cakes, gift boxes and other items.

She carefully picked up a wooden tray and asked: "Boss Yu, this phoenix crown is a new gift from the boss of the jade shop. I don't know where to put it?"

Yu Hehuan didn't even raise her head and said casually: "You can just put it in the warehouse."

Wei Zi carried the tray and went to the warehouse. There was a mountain of wedding supplies piled up here. The red and bright colors looked very festive at first glance.

She put down the tray and turned to leave when she saw a pair of bronze mirrors with mandarin ducks playing in the water placed right in front of her.

She stared at the mirror for a long time, and by some strange coincidence, she suddenly picked up the phoenix crown and gently put it on her bun.

The phoenix crown is made of gold and carved into patterns of peonies and phoenixes. It is studded with gorgeous pearls and jade, and a golden curtain of golden beads hangs in front of it. The most noble and graceful place in a wedding seems to be on the phoenix crown worn by the woman. .

Wei Zi caressed her face curtain, a little stunned.

She married into Jibei Palace as a concubine, so she probably couldn't wear such a phoenix crown.

When she married Xiao Lingxiao, the wedding was messy and crude, and she didn't even wear a phoenix crown.

She probably will never get a crown like this in her life...

There was some regret in her beautiful peach blossom eyes. She had just taken off the phoenix crown when a little maid hurried in and said apologetically: "Miss Wei, we made a mistake just now. This phoenix crown cannot be placed in the warehouse. Send it to Prince Kang's Mansion immediately, it will be used by Princess Jiamin when she marries Mr. Xue next spring."

Wei Zi put the phoenix crown into the brocade box: "Your young lady is always a little absent-minded today."

"Yes," the little maid picked up the brocade box, "not only did she make many mistakes, she even missed two pages in the account book. Sister Yangliu noticed it and pointed it out in time."

It’s dusk when the sun is thin and the sun is melting into gold.

Wei Zi said goodbye to Yuhehuan and took a carriage directly back to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion.

After having dinner with the old lady, the wind started blowing in the garden. Not long after, snow particles fell softly, and the room was still dim despite the lights being lit.

Wei Zi stood up and lit two more lanterns. Hearing the strong northwest wind outside the window, he looked back and saw the old lady leaning on the couch with a frown on her face. She knew that the old lady didn't like such a gloomy and gloomy sky.

She deliberately chose some festive things to tell her, so she said: "I went to Queqiao Fairy today to visit Boss Yu, and I heard her mention that my second cousin will marry Princess Jiamin in the spring next year. Grandma, I will go too then. Look at the excitement."

"Although the girl named Yu was born in the market and does business in the market, I think she is very smart and cheerful, and she is a person who can be friends with." Mrs. Wei motioned Wei Zi to sit next to her and caressed her tenderly. Her back said, "You are not as social as Shan'er, and you don't have many friends in Shangjing. It's a good thing to have someone to talk to."

Grandma and grandson were talking when Grandma Chang suddenly came in and announced: "Old madam, the Duke of Guo has come to pay his respects!"

Because of the busy government affairs at the end of the year, Wei Ling has not been to Heantang for many days.

Wei Zi smiled and said: "It's a good thing that daddy is here, why is grandma so frowning?"

Aunt Chang said helplessly: "The Duke's expression is very ugly. He doesn't look like he's here to pay his respects, but rather like he's here to ask questions."
