After becoming a widow, I raised my traitor brother

Chapter 384 Gu Xiang asked the Marquis to borrow something

Wei Zi's brows furrowed slightly: "Xiao Lingxiao, are you okay?"

"Xiao Zi, you know that I have always been outspoken. I just told the truth." Xiao Lingxiao said righteously, "I know you are a kind and good girl. There may be some misunderstanding between you and my parents, but I hope you can Understand that all misunderstandings are caused by Sun Huangchan. After today, I hope that you and my parents can put an end to the past."

Zhou Jing yelled loudly: "Are you sick?! Are you stupid for serving my aunt?! We, Xiao Zi, have cut off our relationship with your family long ago. Stop being so sentimental here!"

When Mrs. Xing saw her son being scolded, she hurriedly stepped forward tremblingly.

She protected Xiao Lingxiao like a hen guarding her cubs, and said with flying spit: "My son is willing to talk to Wei Zi because he thinks highly of her! My son is a Jinshi and a prime minister, and he will rise to greatness sooner or later! Wei Zi is a broken shoe. As a concubine in the East Palace, even if His Highness the Crown Prince rewards my son, my son will not appreciate her!"

Zhou Jing simply doubted life.

She has never had much contact with Mr. and Mrs. Xiao. She never knew that there are people in this world who can call black things white without changing their expressions, and who have a face thicker than the city wall!

But their whole family is still so shameless!

It's like genetics!

"Jing'er, let's not argue with them. It's not worth wasting our time on them." Wei Zi gently held her hand, "Let's go back to the palace and eat delicious food. The green tangerines are brewed in Jibeigong. Osmanthus rice wine.”

Xiao Lingxiao was reluctant to let her go: "Xiao Zi, it's rare for you to leave the palace, why don't I invite you to a restaurant——"

"Are you leaving or not?!"

Zhou Jing was impatient and pulled out the sword from her waist with a cold face.

Xiao Lingxiao paused, not daring to continue to pester Wei Zi.

He watched Wei Zi and Zhou Jing board the carriage and twirled his fingers impatiently.

"Son," Ms. You have already climbed the high branch of the eldest princess, are you still worried about your future? If you marry again in the future, you must marry a pure and pure official lady who has been born in the fourth generation!"

Xiao Lingxiao glanced at her with disgust.

He hoped that Wei Zi would be nicer to his mother, but he himself had little patience with Mr. Xing.

"Long hair and short knowledge." He said angrily, "Wei Zi's appearance and background are top-notch even in the capital. Then Wei Ling has 200,000 imperial guards under his command. Do you know what this means?! Besides, Xiao Zi and I are childhood sweethearts, so we naturally have more affection than other official ladies. If you don’t understand this, stop making random ideas."

Xing dared to sneer at Wei Zi, but she didn't dare to contradict Xiao Lingxiao.

She said yes solemnly, looking at Xiao Lingxiao with eyes full of relief.

The Changping Marquis Mansion has almost copied it.

Xiao Lingxiao turned around and looked at the mansion.

He has been a son-in-law here for many years.

Now, I finally got through it.

A smile formed on his thin lips, and he kicked the imperial plaque with disdain before leaving in a swaggering manner.

The golden crow sinks in the west.

Zhou Xianji came back early today and had dinner with Wei Zi and Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing has a lively personality. Whenever she has dinner with these two people at the dinner table, she can't help but chatter.

She described the looting of the Changping Marquis Mansion, and also told the story of the fight between Sun Huangchan and the Xing family. She joked: "They are dog-eating dogs. Even the people in the capital know that there is no one in the family." Good things, they are just sitting here to watch jokes! But having said that, Xiao Zi, it would have been better if you had returned to Beijing a few years earlier, why would you have suffered so many grievances!"

Wei Zi smiled and gave her a chicken leg.

Zhou Xianji looked at Wei Zi. She is as beautiful as a flower. Even after so many years of suffering, she still has clear features and gentle eyes.

He thought that he didn't want a hint of unhappiness to appear in the corners of her brows and eyes.

Autumn rain fell at night, pattering.

There were several candlesticks lit in the hall, and water vapor seeped into the hall through the screen windows, making the quilts feel a little cooler.

Wei Zi turned over in the tent and couldn't sleep well.

Tossing and turning in the dream, it seems that I have returned to my previous life in the Changping Marquis Mansion.

The ferocious faces of Sun Huangchan and Xing appeared from time to time in the dream, followed by endless work and endless suffering.

On New Year's Eve, she was alone, hugging her whipped body, hiding behind the stove and crying, thinking about how her life was so miserable.

In the bed tent, a drop of clear tears slowly rolled down the corner of her eyes.

Night fills the corner of the palace.

Changpinghou Mansion.

After the house was searched during the day, the entire mansion was deserted, with only a few scattered lights.

In the hall, Sun Huangchan cried and shook the arm of Marquis Changping: "Is our family so ruined?! Dad, I don't accept it, I don't accept it!"

The Marquis of Changping had gray hair on his temples, as if he had aged ten years overnight.

His eyes were red and he was gritting his teeth: "If you want to blame it, blame us for luring the wolf into the house and recruiting Xiao Lingxiao's wolf-hearted son-in-law! After all, it's because I don't know people well enough that I fell into his trap and thought he was a good person!"

"And Wei Zi!" Sun Huangchan yelled angrily, "She is not a good person either. When our house was ransacked today, she deliberately stood opposite to watch the show! Dad, you too, you should have sent someone directly from the beginning. Go to Shanyin County and kill her, what kind of trick is it to fake your own death to escape?!"

The father and daughter were complaining about themselves and did not notice a line of watery shoe prints appearing under the verandah outside.

The rain pattered.

With a "squeak" sound, the two eunuchs pushed open the hall fan.

Changping Hou and Sun Huangchan quickly looked over and saw two eunuchs standing on both sides, and a man in white clothes slowly stepping into the threshold.

There was a faint candlelight in the room, and the man's slender fingers with distinct joints slightly lifted the bamboo hat, revealing a face as cold and beautiful as the snow-capped mountains.

It was actually the current prince, Zhou Xianji.

The Marquis of Changping was surprised: "His Royal Highness? Why did you come to Xiaguan?!"

"Reduced to an official position?" Zhou Xianji repeated the word, "You have been deprived of your official title and demoted to a commoner. You should call yourself a commoner."

The face of the Marquis of Changping was not very pretty, but he still managed to squeeze out a respectful smile: "The Marquis's mansion has been raided, and there is no decent tea or snacks to entertain His Royal Highness. You came here tonight. Do you think you have something serious to discuss with the common people?"

Zhou Xianji sat down and said, "There is indeed something serious."

Marquis Changping's eyes suddenly ignited with anticipation.

The emperor was narrow-minded by nature and often excluded several princes.

It is thought that Zhou Xianji did not have much trouble with the emperor and wanted to win over his influence in the Changping Marquis Mansion.

If he supports Zhou Xianji, it is not impossible for the Changping Marquis Mansion to make a comeback if Zhou Xianji ascends the throne as emperor in the future.

As he was thinking about it, he heard Zhou Xianji say: "I came here tonight to borrow something from Lord Marquis."
