After becoming a widow, I raised my traitor brother

Chapter 407 Wei Chen wants to marry Wei Zi, the Duke of Zhenguo, as his wife

Xiao Lingxiao's cheeks felt hot as he listened to all the congratulations given to Xiao Fengxian by the people around him.

"Ling Lang," Zhou Yanxue suddenly called him, "I am going to change my clothes. Please sit by yourself for a while and talk to your parents."

Xiao Lingxiao quickly said yes.

Today Xing and Xiao Long are also here.

Ever since the two elders learned that Xiao Lingxiao was attached to the eldest princess, they had been thinking of going to the palace to have a look, and today they got their wish.

A family of three sat together, all dressed up in a grand and luxurious manner, especially Xing, who wore almost all the pearls and jade jewelry she could find on her head and body.

It was the first time for Mr. and Mrs. Xiao to enter the palace. Everything they saw was new, and they could even comment on a plate of fruit for a long time. They were so proud and happy that they accidentally caught a glimpse of Wei Zi, and couldn't help showing a look of disgust on their faces.

Mrs. What can I do to sit here?”

"I am the eldest daughter of the Zhenguo Palace, why can't I sit here?" Xiao Lingxiao pulled back his sleeves impatiently, "Just sit quietly and don't say anything outside, otherwise you will offend the noble."

Mrs.

She did not restrain the volume of her voice.

Everyone around her heard her words clearly.

People sitting far away quickly learned about Xing's words through some people's whispers.

When the Xue family was sitting at the banquet, Xue Ziyu thought deeply and said to the people around her: "Although this Mrs. Xing comes from the countryside, she speaks very honestly. My daughter is really not easy to get along with."

Wei Ling was so angry that the general got angry and yelled at Xue Ziyu: "How could you do this to your own daughter?!"

Xue Ziyu was aggrieved: "I'm just telling the truth, why are you so mean?! This Mrs. Xing is indeed right. Xiao Zi is like this, is it possible that she can marry someone else?! You're a father? If you don’t believe it, you can ask the princes here, who among them wants to marry Xiao Zi?”

Before Wei Ling could scold her, a clear voice suddenly came:

"I am willing to marry."

You can hear a needle drop in the Golden Palace.

Everyone looked for fame, and the person who spoke was none other than Xiao Fengxian, who had just achieved great military exploits.

After the eerie silence, like a huge boulder being thrown into the lake, there was a sudden uproar.

Among them, the loudest discussion was that Xiao Fengxian was Wei Zi's former brother-in-law. Although Wei Zi and Xiao Lingxiao had reconciled, no decent family would let their two sons marry the same woman, let alone those from the capital. Officials and nobles!
Xiao Lingxiao's family of three were in disbelief.

They only knew that Xiao Fengxian and Wei Zi had a good relationship, but they didn't know that they had such a shady relationship!

Xiao Lingxiao stared at Xiao Fengxian, feeling that she had been completely betrayed by him and Wei Zi.

Overwhelmed by shame, anger and hatred, he gritted his teeth and said, "How dare you..."

Xing and Xiao Long looked at each other, equally shocked.

Mrs.

Xue Ziyu's face turned dark, he gave Wei Zi a vicious look, and cursed: "Shameless!"

Wei Zi was also a little surprised.

She stared at Xiao Fengxian, wondering why this guy suddenly exposed the two of them.

Listening to the discussions around her, her cheeks were a little pale, and her hands in her sleeves were trembling slightly. She had never imagined the scene where her affair with Xiao Fengxian would be made public.

But he didn't expect that he would be exposed at the palace banquet.

Xiao Fengxian...

Could it be that he had some plans?
The movement in this compartment quickly alarmed Zhou Shuo.

When he and the concubines came over, the whole hall was discussing Xiao Fengxian and Wei Zi.

He folded his sleeves and sat down, squinting his eyes and scanning the two of them: "What's going on?"

Xiao Fengxian cupped her hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to ask of you. I want to marry Wei Zi, the Duke of Zhenguo."

Zhou Shuo laughed twice: "Xiao Aiqing, are you telling a joke to make me happy?"

"Weichen is serious."

Zhou Shuo's smile was a bit sinister.

He leaned forward slightly in a warning manner, his eyes as sharp as if he wanted to poke a hole in Xiao Fengxian: "First of all, Wei Zi is Ji'er's side wife. Secondly, she used to be your sister-in-law. Xiao Fengxian, are you trying to get along with me on purpose? Is human ethics always right?”

Wei Zi was Xiao Fengxian's sister-in-law.

This is something that no one can change.

So even if these two people really love each other, it is impossible for them to get married.

"What a coincidence," a clear and melodious female voice suddenly said, "Xiao Lingxiao's surname is Xiao, and Xiao Fengxian's surname is also Xiao!"

Everyone looked around and saw that the person speaking was Yu Hehuan.

She came to the banquet with Murong Jinglue and Murong Tao today.

The girl stood up and walked to the palace. She was wearing a red dress and holding a fan in her hand. She was pretty and smart, with undisguised shrewd calculations on her brows and eyes.

Murong Jiuli sat lazily on the seat and shouted: "Yu Hehuan, what you said is really ridiculous. They are brothers. Is it possible that they can have two surnames?"

Yuhe smiled happily and walked around the palace like a storyteller: "Speaking of the last name, I have a riddle here. Since the palace banquet has not started yet, why don't we guess the answer together?"

Murong Tao glanced at Zhou Shuo's face and scolded: "What riddle are you trying to guess? Xiao Fengxian is fooling around, Yu Hehuan, are you going to follow suit?! Why don't you retreat quickly?!"

"The banquet is boring. It's just a matter of guessing a riddle for the king and his ministers to have fun together. Why not?" Grand Master Wen stroked his beard and spoke slowly, "Junior of the Yu family, just say it."

"Yes." Yu Hehuan bowed to Grand Master Wen and then continued, "Is my riddle difficult to say, and not easy to say simple? Who do you think is the murderer of the Xuanke Temple murder case?"

The air seemed to freeze.

The murder case in Xuanke Temple.

These five simple words pulled everyone present into an eerie silence.

This bloody case was expressly forbidden by the Emperor to be discussed by anyone.

But tonight, Yu Hehuan mentioned it in public.

Murong Tao stood up first and said angrily: "Yu Hehuan, is this what you should say?! Why don't you retreat quickly?!"

"The prime minister is so angry. Could it be that there is another hidden story behind the Xuanke Temple murder case?" Zhou Xianfeng suddenly said, "Miss Yu must have her reasons for bringing up the old case again. Maybe she found some clues. Father, the emperor. Yingming Shenwu, having heard that he had a close relationship with King Dingbei back then, would not be as secretive as the Prime Minister and refused to re-investigate the old case. If there was really something hidden about the Xuanke Temple murder case, King Dingbei died unjustly. , Father can also be happy, right?"
