Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 166 Mutation (for subscription)

When Duke Qi saw Princess Pingning coming back, he looked unhappy and asked, "Did Princess Yong force you again?"

Princess Pingning did not answer this question, but asked: "Is Heng'er still not out of the room?"

"No, I'm just studying in the room, but I've eaten a lot more these days than before." Qi Guogong said.

Princess Pingning was silent for a while and said, "I'm going to see him."

"You'd better not go. Heng'er hasn't completely let go of him yet. Give him some more time." Qi Guogong advised.

"It's running out of time."

After Princess Pingning finished speaking, she left the front hall directly.

Today at Prince Yong's Mansion, she could already feel that Princess Yong was impatient.

If it drags on any longer, Princess Yong will definitely anger the Qi family because of this matter.

……

"No, hasn't Sixth Sister returned to Bianjing yet?" Qi Heng asked.

"Sir, I've been sending people to keep an eye on the dock, but I haven't received any news of the return of the old lady of the Sheng family," Buwei said.

"Okay, I get it now."

Qi Heng sat down with a disappointed look on his face.

"Young master, now that you have recognized Miss Six as your sister, it is no longer possible for you two to be together, so let's forget it." Buwei advised.

"I betrayed her, and I want to make it clear to her." Qi Heng said.

Buwei sighed inwardly and said, "Sir, it's getting late, it's time for dinner."

"I'm not hungry, so I won't eat." Qi Heng shook his head.

Buwei winked at a maid on the side. The maid nodded slightly, stepped forward and saluted: "Master, today I asked the kitchen to cook some of the dishes that the master likes to eat. You'd better eat some of the dishes, the master."

Qi Heng looked at the maid blankly, and suddenly seemed to see Minglan. He couldn't help but nodded and said, "Okay."

"This slave will go and notify the kitchen to bring food." The maid bowed and left.

As soon as he reached the entrance of the courtyard, he met Princess Pingning who was walking towards her. He quickly stood aside and saluted, "I have met the princess."

"What are you doing?" Princess Pingning asked.

"Go back to the princess, my wife. I will go to the kitchen to serve the young master." the maid said.

Princess Pingning saw that the maid looked familiar and said, "Raise your head."

The maid raised her head cautiously after hearing this.

Princess Pingning looked at it and said calmly: "Go."

"Yes." The maid responded and hurried away.

Princess Pingning looked at the maid's back and her expression darkened.

"What's this maid's name? Why haven't I seen her before?"

The old lady behind her said: "This one seems to be called Tan Yun. There were some servants added to the house half a month ago. There are a few servants in the young master's courtyard. I wanted to arrange two for the young master, but the young master went there by himself and asked for this Tan Yun. Come here."

"Young Master doesn't eat much these days, so it would be useful to persuade Tan Yun."

Princess Pingning looked ugly and said, "Don't you think she looks like the same person?"

"I wonder who the princess is talking about?" asked the old nanny.

"That little concubine of the Sheng family." Princess Pingning said coldly.

"The old lady is old and her eyesight is a little blurred. She has only met the sixth girl of the Sheng family once. I didn't think she looked like her before. But when the princess said it, she did feel a bit like her."

The old mama carefully recalled the appearance of the sixth girl from the Sheng family, and found that she looked exactly like the maid just now.

Princess Pingning sneered: "I thought Heng'er's appetite increased and she slowly stopped eating. Now it seems that she regards this maid as the sixth girl of the Sheng family."

The old aunt knew Princess Pingning's character, thought about it, and said: "Princess Princess, Brother Heng always doesn't eat much, and his body can't stand it. Why don't you keep this first? With her, Brother Heng You can also eat a few more bites.”

"There is no time for him to let go."

After Princess Pingning finished speaking, she walked into the courtyard.

"The young one has met the princess."

When Buwei heard the footsteps, he looked up and saw Princess Pingning walking in. He quickly saluted.

"I met my mother."

Qi Heng came to his senses, stood up and bowed expressionlessly, then stood there with his head lowered.

Princess Pingning glanced at her son who had lost a lot of weight, feeling both distressed and angry.

"You all go down."

"Yes."

After everyone left, Princess Pingning looked at Qi Heng and said, "Do you hate me very much?"

"Child dare not."

"Is it because I don't dare?"

Qi Heng lowered his head and said nothing.

Princess Pingning's tone became softer and she said, "You should know that Princess Jiacheng likes you. Prince Yong is the official candidate for the crown prince, and our family simply cannot afford to offend him."

"Ha ha."

Qi Heng sneered and raised his head when he heard this, and said: "Mother, I realized later that you had no intention of letting me marry my sixth sister from the beginning to the end. What you only valued was family status. With the family background of the Sheng family, how could I get into it?" Your eyes. Even if there was no Jiacheng County Lord, you would still choose other well-matched families, and don’t talk so high-sounding."

"presumptuous!"

Princess Pingning turned pale when she heard this and said, "You were born to enjoy wealth and respect, shouldn't you do something for the prosperity of your family?"

"I don't need all this. I can get the glory and wealth by myself." Qi Heng said.

"You don't want all this, do you want your parents too? Because you still miss the concubine of the Sheng family, I have never dared to agree to Princess Yong. Now Princess Yong is very angry with the Qi family. If you still don't agree, wait until Yong If the king ascends the throne, our Qi family will be in great trouble." Princess Pingning said sternly.

"I don't believe it. Even if King Yong ascends the throne, he cannot attack a prince's palace because of private matters." Qi Heng retorted.

"boom!"

Princess Pingning jumped up at the crime and said angrily: "I think you are stupid because of studying! If King Yong wants to attack the Qi family, he will naturally find other excuses. If you want to incriminate, there is no excuse. Haven't you learned? ?”

Qi Heng couldn't find the words to refute for a while, and lowered his head in silent resistance.

"You have to think clearly for yourself whether you are going to let the whole family risk their lives for your impulse because of a woman."

After Princess Pingning finished speaking, she opened the door and walked out.As soon as she went out, she saw Tan Yun outside the door and walked directly in front of her.

"How many times have I told you that brightly colored clothes are not allowed in the mansion, has no one told you?" Princess Pingning said calmly.

Tanyun knelt down with a pop and said, "I'd like to express my gratitude to you, Princess, these clothes are a reward from the young master."

"Really? It seems that you are very popular with the young master. But now I am the one who is in charge of this family. Come on, drag me down and give me a cane for thirty years!"

After Princess Pingning finished speaking, she ignored Tan Yun's begging for mercy and walked away.

……

"Sister-in-law, I'm going back tomorrow." Old Mrs. Sheng said with a smile.

"Why are you in such a hurry? The Chinese New Year is about to come, why not spend the New Year in your hometown before leaving." The eldest lady said.

"When I came back this time, I attended Wu Ge'er's wedding. The second time I came to see you was that my sister-in-law was in good health, so I felt relieved. The situation in Bianjing is now chaotic, and I feel a little worried." Old Mrs. Sheng said.

After hearing this, the eldest lady stopped trying to persuade him and said, "Brother Wu also has a position now, so let him go with him."

"Brother Wu got married not long ago, and there are still some days left for the holidays. Now that the crown prince has been newly appointed, the situation is unstable, and it is really not suitable to stay for a long time. But after all, we are newly married, and it is not good to live in two places. Brother Wu's daughter-in-law also has relatives with our second wife. I'll help her ask for a favor and let her go to Bianjing with Brother Wu." Old Mrs. Sheng said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Kang Yun'er first cast a grateful look at the old lady Sheng, and then looked at the eldest lady nervously, fearing that she would not agree.

The eldest lady laughed and said: "You have already spoken, so I should agree, but I have already given this house to Vigo's daughter-in-law, so it still depends on what she wants."

Hearing this, Mrs. Li looked at Kang Yun'er and said: "Logically, you should stay in your hometown to serve your parents-in-law and learn the rules, but the second aunt has spoken, so I naturally have to give you face. But when you go to Bianjing, you can't rely on your elders. If you are not there, you will feel that there is no one to restrain you, and you will act as you please, do you understand?"

In fact, Li didn't want to keep Kang Yuner in Youyang at all.

Although Mrs. He showed it to Mrs. Wen and said that after some time of recuperation, the next baby would be fine.

But after all, Wen was still recovering and not yet pregnant. If she left Kang Yun'er in Youyang, how would she be able to flourish.

When Mrs. Sheng opened her mouth and Mrs. Li agreed, it was actually just a show to scare Kang Yuner.

"Mother, my daughter-in-law understands." Kang Yun'er responded quickly.

"No, something big happened."

At this moment, Changsong walked in hastily.

Everyone saw that he was a little embarrassed in his clothes and stood up nervously.

"What's wrong? Aren't you in town checking accounts?" the old lady asked.

Over the years, Sheng Wei has slowly handed over the business to Chang Song.

Now that the new year is approaching, various businesses below are taking stock of their accounts.

Early this morning, Changsong went to the store in Youyang Town to check the accounts.

"I was checking the accounts in the store and heard that there was a lot of chaos outside, so I opened the window and took a look. I didn't know where a group of bandits came from, killing people and looting everywhere on the street. The whole Youyang was in chaos. I didn't see the opportunity. Miao, I escaped through the back door and managed to escape thanks to my familiarity with the terrain," Changsong said.

"What?" When everyone heard this, their faces changed drastically and they were panicked.

"There are many government servants in Youyang town. If thieves dare to attack Youyang, they will be safe. If they wait for them to rob Youyang, they will definitely come to my Sheng house. Let's pack up our things quickly and hide in the nearby mountains to wait for the officials. After clearing out the bandits, they will come out again." Sheng Wei said.

"no!"

After Sheng Wei finished speaking, three voices of opposition rang out.

They come from Mrs. Da, Mrs. Sheng and Yuan Wenshao respectively.

"Not to mention the family's money, the ancestral graves cannot be taken away. If they are destroyed by others, how can we have the face to see our ancestors?" said the eldest lady.

Old Mrs. Sheng nodded and said: "Not only that, the situation outside is unknown now, and there are still strong and powerful guards at home to resist. If we encounter thieves outside, how can so many female relatives protect them?"

"The two grandmothers are right, and Changwu and I have official positions. If we hear about bandits and run away, it will definitely leave a stain and ruin our future." Yuan Wenshao said.

"But there are only about [-] people guarding the hospital at home. They can deal with some local gangsters without any problem. How can they stop the most vicious thieves?"

In panic, Sheng Wei immediately thought of running, but after what the two old ladies and Yuan Wenshao said, he also understood that running was not the best way.

"Uncle, don't worry. I am accompanied by twenty personal guards this time. These are veterans in the army. The ancestral home of the Sheng family is built on the mountain. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is no problem to hold on for some time. You Yang is approaching. When Jinling and the surrounding cities get the news, they will definitely send troops to help. Then it will naturally be safe." Yuan Wenshao said.

After hearing this, Sheng Wei calmed down and said, "Erlang, none of us understand this. You have led soldiers, and I will let the guards at home obey your arrangements."

This was not the time to shirk. Yuan Wenshao nodded and said, "Uncle, gather all the women in the family in the backyard. You are not allowed to leave the backyard until it is safe. I will take people to set up defenses now."

"Okay." Sheng Wei nodded.

"Eldest brother-in-law, I will go with you." Chang Wu said.

"Let's go!" Yuan Wenshao nodded.

"Officials be careful."

Although Hualan was worried, she understood the general situation and didn't say anything. She just gave Yuan Wenshao a warning when he left.

"Don't worry, none of the Xixia bastards could hurt me back then. They were just some bandits. They will be fine. Remember to keep an eye on Sister Wen."

After Yuan Wenshao finished speaking, he took Chang Wu out.

"Chang Wu, go and call the guards in the mansion. Zhang An, go and call everyone here." Yuan Wenshao ordered.

"Yes." The two of them responded and left in a hurry.

Yuan Wenshao came to the door of the house. Maybe the master of the Sheng family had thought of this problem when he built the house. The courtyard wall was very tall.

When Zhang An and Chang Wu brought people over, Yuan Wenshao asked Zhang An to arrange the defense, called Chang Wu aside, and said: "As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy will never lead to a hundred battles. You are very familiar with Yu Yang. I need you to go out to inquire about the information and find out who the thieves are. Movement and numbers.”

"Okay, I'll go right away." Chang Wu said and was about to leave.

"and many more."

Yuan Wenshao shouted to Qin Li who was busy: "Qin Li, take two people with him. You must pay attention to safety."

"Yes." Qin Li responded, called two good guys, and followed Chang Wu to inquire about the news.

Yuan Wenshao arranged the defense and asked some maids to come over to set up pots to heat oil. If the oil was not enough, he would boil water. At the same time, he sent people to collect stones from the nearby mountains.

On the other side, Chang Wu took Qin Li and the others to Youyang Town, encountering many fleeing people along the way.

Chang Wu stopped some of them and wanted to get some information from them.

However, these people only knew that the bandits were very fierce and there were many of them, but they did not know how many there were specifically.

However, I still learned a very important piece of news. The bandits did not have bows and arrows.

Chang Wu also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news.

The Sheng family's bodyguards plus Yuan Wenshao's personal soldiers only numbered more than 40 people. Although the Sheng family's courtyard walls were tall, it was only a house after all, not a city.

If the bandits have bows and arrows, it will be difficult to defend them.
