Chapter 15: Being Missed Again
In the capital, Murong Shangshu Mansion, the uncle Murong Ziye was upset by the tears of his eldest wife, Xiao Ding.
Xiao Ding is the niece of the old lady Ding of Murong Mansion. Seven years ago, General Ma of the General Huwei Mansion rescued Murong Shangshu in an accident. The relationship between the two families became closer and closer, and the eldest grandson of the General Mansion was born.
A marriage contract was made at Ma Juntao's first birthday banquet, and the eldest granddaughter of the future Shangshu Mansion would be betrothed to Ma Juntao as his wife.
At that time, Murong Ziye had just separated from his first wife Zhen Zirou for more than half a year, and raised his common wife cousin Xiao Ding as his first wife. Zhen Zirou had not given birth to a child in Murong's family for two years, but Xiao Ding already had a son, Murong Jun.
More than a year later, Xiao Ding really gave birth to a daughter, Murong Zhi, who was less than a month younger than Shu Yao. She had an enviable marriage contract at birth.
Who would have expected that half a year ago, Ma Juntao, who was less than eight years old, fell seriously ill and suddenly became stupid. Although it was quickly discovered that the poison was caused by the aunt in Ma's house, the aunt was immediately killed, but Ma Juntao
His stupidity has become irreversible.
Now the Murong Mansion faints and cancels the engagement? That is ungrateful and treacherous. Moreover, the General Huwei Mansion has become more and more powerful in recent years. Ma Juntao's aunt gave birth to five more princes. Now there are two princes, who have been promoted to the throne.
The Ma family cannot offend the noble concubine.
Keep the engagement? In a few years, Murong Zhi will be married to that fool Ma Juntao, which will last a lifetime! Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Ding burst into tears and couldn't accept it.
Xiao Ding proposed to recognize the concubine as the legitimate daughter, but the Ma family said that the marriage contract was for the eldest daughter. The two concubine girls in the Murong Mansion were both younger than Murong Zhi, two or three years younger.
.
Just when Murong Ziye was in a panic, he accidentally learned that Xia Linxuan was dead and that Zhen Zirou had a pair of twins, so he set his sights on Shu Yao.
As long as Zhen Zirou dies, the Zhen family finds Shuyao's sister and brother's birthday papers and destroys them, and Zhen Dafu, the eldest uncle of the Zhen family, as Shuyao's direct uncle, stands up to testify, pointing out that Zhen Zirou was pregnant when she left the Shangshu Mansion, Shuyao can be turned into a
She is the eldest granddaughter of the Shangshu Mansion. At most, she can present a prepared fake birthday card that makes her one year older and everything will be fine. Even General Huwei's Mansion has nothing to say, this is the eldest daughter of the original wife.
Of course, the Murong Mansion would not want the "legitimate son" Xia Shuwen, and it would be easy for him to quietly "die of illness" or die unexpectedly before entering the mansion.
Unexpectedly, just when Murong Ziye and Xiao Ding thought that everything was ready and they would be able to sit back and relax soon, bad news came from Zhen Dafu: Zhen Zirou somehow knew about their plan before she was alive and had already sent Shu Yao to his death.
The sister and brother's birthday papers were hidden, and now everyone on Xitang Street has "heard" about it. Also, Zhen Zirou wrote a letter to Yao Xuelan, the wife of Weiyuan Houfu.
The Weiyuan Hou Mansion has always been at odds with Murong Shangshu Mansion, especially the Hou Madam Yao Xuelan and Zhen Zirou are very good friends. If she hadn't interfered and helped Zhen Zirou back then, Xia Linxuan had set a trap for him to jump, and Murong Ziye wouldn't have
He would obediently divorce Zhen Zirou. What he wanted was to demote his wife to a concubine so that he could continue to have Zhen Zirou and get help from his brother-in-law of the Ding family.
Marquis Weiyuan was favored by the emperor, and he loved his wife the most. Now that Yao Xuelan knew about the Murong family's plan, and had Zhen Zirou's autographed letter as proof, and there were so many people's attention, he could no longer
The plan was carried forward. When things failed to come to fruition, not only did he fall out with General Huwei's Mansion, but he also got a copy of Ginseng and destroyed the entire Shangshu Mansion.
Today's emperor claims to have the "Eternal Ming Jun" as his goal, and he suppresses corrupt officials who bully others very harshly, especially those who "offend public anger". Because if you don't punish you harshly, you will destroy the emperor's own "mighty emperor"
Reputation, which is more important or less important?
Moreover, this emperor likes to play "incognito private visits". What's worse is that his whereabouts are very secret. No one knows when and where he goes or when he returns to Beijing. Even the most favored concubine cannot find out.
The emperor has a dark force that only he can see and command, called "Netherworld". It is said that the members of "Netherworld" are good at disguise, good at spying, flying over eaves and walls, flying through sand and earth, and are omnipotent.
Because there was such a king, in the Zhou Dynasty, there were many corrupt officials and local snakes, but they were very cautious and did not leave any traces.
Murong Ziye waved his hand impatiently: "Don't mention this matter again. No matter how much I hurt Zhi'er, I will not risk the entire Shangshu Mansion. Empress Libi did not give birth to a prince this time and our Murong Mansion is already weak.
A lot, and if I make any mistakes in my performance evaluation next year, I will have no hope of promotion in this life.
Don't forget that you also have a son, Murong Jun, and a daughter, Murong Qing. Do you want to pay for them all just for Zhi'er?"
Little Ding continued to cry. She understood the truth, but she really couldn't let go of her eldest daughter Murong Zhi. Zhi'er was so beautiful, cute, and smart, how could she be tied to a fool for the rest of her life?
It was all that bitch Zhen Zirou who had occupied the position of the head wife for so long, and made her, the daughter of a dignified servant, be forced to be the equal wife of a happy-go-lucky bitch.
She and her aunt originally wanted Zhen Zirou to humiliate her as a concubine, but they didn't expect that the always cowardly bitch seemed to be a new person after falling into the water, tough and cunning, and later the Shangshu Mansion had to agree to accept the divorce.
I heard that after leaving the Shangshu Mansion, that bitch jointly opened a medicinal food pavilion with Madam Weiyuan Hou and made a lot of money, which made Murong Shangshu and Murong Ziye feel so regretful that their intestines turned blue. Who doesn't know Madam Weiyuan Hou's "Shizhenzhai"
"Medicine Food Pavilion, money pours into the account like water?"
Now that Zhen Zirou is dead and wants to harm her Zhi'er, it is a great gift that she is willing to let that bitch born from a bitch enter the mansion as the eldest daughter. A bitch born in the market can enter the mansion of General Huwei and become the eldest daughter-in-law.
What's wrong?
"Uncle, please go to the hall and tell me that there may be a way to get General Huwei's palace to accept the concubine." Outside the door, Chunxiang, the maid next to the old lady Ding, reported.
"What?" Xiao Ding jumped up, pulled Murong Ziye and walked out. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, she had to find a way. As for the concubine, let alone one, she would not want to marry both of them.
In the hall of Murong Mansion, Murong Shangshu was frowning and drinking tea. When he saw Murong Ziye and others coming in, he sighed: "Ye'er, General Ma's former lieutenant revealed a piece of news to me. General Ma has been looking for
A precious bow called the "Moon-Qing Bow". It is said that the bow was the work of Old Man Iron Fan, a famous weapons master in the former dynasty. General Ma once said that if he could find the "Moon-Qing Bow", he would have no regrets in his life."
Little Ding slumped down on the chair: "The Ma family has been looking for military generals for half their lives, but they haven't found them. Where can we find them? And we don't know what the bow looks like, so how can we find it? Father's words are not in vain.
?”
Murong Shangshu was really dissatisfied with the rudeness of this daughter-in-law. She was born into an official family, but she was not as good as Zhen Zirou, a merchant's daughter. Moreover, Zhen Zirou was indeed a blessed person. Not long after she married in "for joy", Ye'er, who was seriously ill, began to improve.
Under her care, he slowly got better, and good things happened to the entire Shangshu Mansion.
It's a pity that Madam and Ye'er didn't know how to cherish it, so they insisted on bringing in little Ding to be their equal wife. They frightened and frightened her, and finally forced her good "wealthy daughter" daughter-in-law to leave. If Zhen Zirou was still here, just rely on her
She is a member of the "Shizhenzhai" or opens a herbal medicine pavilion in her own house. Why is the current Shangshu Mansion so strapped?
Murong Ziye saw her father's dissatisfied look towards Xiao Ding and knew what his father was thinking. In fact, why didn't he regret it himself? Zhen Zirou was gentle and beautiful. She was weak and boring at first, but since she woke up after falling into the water, her whole person has become more mature.
A layer of smart brilliance, but unfortunately, it was also from that time that he became so disdainful and alienated from himself, no longer as full of attachment as before, and finally even designed to force him to agree to divorce.
Zhen Zirou, the woman he loved and hated in his heart! The woman who betrayed him and fell in love with other men! She is an eternal thorn in his heart!
Murong Shangshu ignored Xiao Ding and looked at Murong Ziye: "Some people have seen Xia Linxuan use that bow, but they have also seen Xia Linxuan's senior brother Wu Zhenzi use it. Now I am not sure whose it is, so I can only try both.
It's just that Wu Zhenzi is a wandering Taoist, so it's hard to find. Also, it's said that the 'Moon-Qing Bow' is completely black and has twenty-four changing patterns from crescent moon to full moon."
Murong Ziye understood: "Okay, we immediately send a message to the second uncle to find Zhen Dafu to find out whether the "Qing Yue Gong" is still in the Xia family? Even if it is not there, we may still have to find Wu Zhenzi through the eldest son of the Xia family. Listen
He said he was also Wu Zhenzi's apprentice." Fortunately, he didn't have time to punish the Zhen family for doing bad things.
"Well, that's it, but you have to remember," Murong Shangshu warned again: "Don't make any noise, just get the 'Qingyue Bow', it's worth spending some money to buy it, don't forget the Xia family's
Behind the three children is Mrs. Weiyuan Hou. Now your sister is not powerful in the palace. If someone finds out and brings it to His Majesty, our Shangshu Mansion and your sister will all be implicated. Ye'er, you have to be clear.
If it really doesn't work, we can only give up on Zhi'er, because she can't bring down Empress Li and more than a thousand people in the Murong family."
"Yes, father, I understand." Murong Ziye solemnly promised.
Shuyao, who was far away in Yulin Town, didn't know that her family was being taken care of by Murong Shangshu's mansion again. She was thinking about letting her eldest brother take her to Jiuling Mountain.
