Chapter 438: Two hundred and fourteen, The Wei Family's Disagreement

Two hundred and fourteen, The Wei Family's Disagreement.

"The Third Young Master's words are very true."

Inside the carriage, Wang Wang Lengran immediately took the conversation.

"It's just that the Third Young Master wasn't in Jiangzhou before, so this Magistrate Ouyang Magistrate Ouyang Lianghan could borrow the tiger's might to act like a king and bully others, not knowing the height of the sky and the depth of the earth. Now that the Third Young Master is here, let's see how he can still be arrogant..."

Wei Wei Shaoqi waved his hand:

"It's not just about Magistrate Ouyang Magistrate Ouyang Lianghan; the Prince Xunyang Prince's Mansion behind him is the same."

Wang Wang Lengran asked: "Third Young Master, what should we do now? Regarding the Prince Xunyang Prince's Mansion, didn't the higher-ups forbid us from moving, especially the Prince of Liang's side..."

Wei Wei Shaoqi narrowed his eyes and did not speak.

Actually, Prince Liang Uncle hadn't been this conservative before.

When the trap of the Prince Xiang's messenger and Meng Meng Shouguang falsely conveying the news was laid, Prince Liang Uncle and Father Prince both had consistent attitudes and concepts.

That is, the Prince Xunyang Prince's Mansion doesn't have to be wiped out, but all the males must die. Only some female family members need to be left, for example, the young princess of Prince Xunyang Prince Li Su Xian, who can return to the capital to be a puppet, marry a Wei family descendant, and become a Wei family daughter-in-law.

It counts as preserving a bit of incense for the Prince Xunyang Prince's Mansion, symbolically pulling the relationship between the Li and Wei families a little closer, so that it can be better explained to His Majesty, and His Majesty will accept it more.

In this way, the offspring born to Li Su Guoer for the Wei family would possess the blood of both families and inherit part of the legal system of the Prince Xunyang Prince's Mansion. Perhaps His Majesty would accept it...

But the death trap laid that time actually failed.

Afterwards, events such as Wei Wei Shaoxuan disappearing with the Tripod Sword and the position of the Great General of the Jiangzhou Circuit Army being stripped away broke out one after another.

That Prince Liang Uncle then began to turn, having a different opinion from Father Prince, because there was no longer a certainty of winning.

Now it is not only required that the Wei Prince's Mansion not move Li Su Guoer, but even this pair of father and son, Li Su Xian and Li Su Dalang, should not be acted upon lightly, just put aside for now, depending on His Majesty's attitude later.

After all, compared to the mortal enemy of the Wei family, the Prince Xiang's Mansion, the Prince Xunyang Prince's Mansion, which is far from the storm center of Shenjing Luoyang and as blank as a piece of paper, is certainly more moderate and easier to reach some kind of interest connection.

As for the matter of the fake messenger trap back then...

According to the words of Prince Liang Uncle, who had obtained the token of Prince Xiang, as long as the Prince Xunyang Prince's family is not stupid, the ones they hate or fear would definitely be more than just our Wei family, but also the Prince Xiang's Mansion.

Actually, Wei Wei Shaoqi didn't know much about the ins and outs of that trap. He wasn't in the Shenjing Luoyang Prince's Mansion at the time. Afterwards, he only knew that Prince Liang Uncle had personally operated it, and the Wei Prince's Mansion was only responsible for implementation...

As for whether Prince Liang Uncle reached some kind of tacit understanding with that Prince Xiang, who was like a white lotus in the court...

Wei Wei Shaoqi had once curiously asked Father Prince. He remembered that at that time, Father Prince just looked at him with deep eyes, then said meaningfully: The characteristic of politics is that there is no truth; the best thing is how you use it...

Wei Wei Shaoqi's eyes were gloomy. While pondering, a crisp sound of horse hooves came from outside the carriage.

Qin Ying walked out of the maple forest, returning fully loaded with prey.

Wei Wei Shaoqi rubbed his face, revealed a brilliant smile, got off the carriage, and greeted her.

"Is the Wei Young Master's hand alright?"

"Haha, it's fine, a small injury, a small injury. This time it wasn't enough fun. Next time Young Xie Xiao Niangzi Qin wants to go autumn hunting, be sure to call me."

"We'll see. By the way, that hedgehog is yours. Take it back."

"Good, good."

"Grandfather said that the whole body of a hedgehog is excellent medicinal food. Hedgehog skin can reduce swelling and relieve pain. Wei Young Master can also soak its kidney whip in wine, which has the effect of refreshing the mind and strengthening the body."

"Young Xie Xiao Niangzi Qin is really... really too considerate."

"Just saw it being caught, so I thought of giving it to Wei Young Master to supplement your deficiency. Who would have thought you would catch it with your bare hands..." Qin Ying muttered.

"..." Wei Wei Shaoqi.

This autumn hunt was considered fully loaded.

It would have been even better if they hadn't encountered that damn hedgehog... Wei Wei Shaoqi thought.

Qin and Wei, the two of them, rode on their horses, leading a team of knights, and passed through the East City Gate of Prince Xunyang City.

During this time, they chatted idly.

It's just that the expression of Wei Wei Shaoqi, who was following closely behind Qin Ying, looked a bit strange, occasionally smiling uglier than crying.

The group passed through street after street bustling with noise and excitement and arrived at Jingyi Court.

Wei Wei Shaoqi maintained a smile, watching the slightly chubby Qin family girl figure in Hu clothing, heroic and spirited, disappear inside the gate.

Many of the surrounding Xianbei guards glanced slightly at their young master's bandaged palm, which was seeping blood.

Wei Wei Shaoqi turned and left.

The smile on his face disappeared.

He dived into the luxurious carriage, his face flat, and said to Wang Wang Lengran, who had been following and waiting:

"Let's go, go back."

"Yes, Third Young Master."

"By the way, where is Seventh Sister?"

Wei Wei Shaoqi asked curiously.

Wang Wang Lengran said: "Before we went out of the city to hunt this morning, I heard from people below that Princess Princess Anhui went to Starry Square to distribute porridge and clothes again."

Wei Wei Shaoqi heard this, his face impatient, and he waved his hand:

"Go, go pick her up. Tonight, Seventh Sister must be asked to invite Qin Ying to dinner. Seventh Sister is also a woman and will be more useful."

"Yes, Third Young Master."

Wei Wei Shaoqi turned his head and looked at the scenery outside the carriage window, somewhat lost in thought.

Before long, the carriage entered Starry Square.

It approached the place where Princess Princess Anhui usually distributed porridge and clothes.

Wei Wei Shaoqi came back to his senses, stretched his neck a bit, and looked over there.

His expression was stunned:

"Why are there two porridge sheds together? Seventh Sister didn't have enough, so she set up another one?"

Wei Wei Shaoqi was halfway through speaking when he found something wrong. He narrowed his eyes and looked closely at the flag hanging above the extra porridge shed, and read curiously:

"Why is there still a flag... Shelter? It's so literary. How does Seventh Sister have the leisure to name it?"

"Shelter?"

Originally Wang Wang Lengran was full of confusion, but hearing this name, his expression was suddenly enlightened:

"Isn't this the charity hall set up by that little princess of the Prince Xunyang Prince's Mansion? This humble servant has heard of it. It seems it was initially responsible for sheltering the poor scholars and literati of Prince Xunyang City, providing warmth and food. Later, it seems they also distributed some grain and clothing that the Prince Xunyang Prince's Mansion couldn't use to the poor people of Starry Square for free, to prevent extravagance and waste. Every major festival, they also do some charity aimed at commoners..."

Wei Wei Shaoqi frowned:

"The Prince Xunyang Prince's Mansion's charity hall? How come it's so close to Seventh Sister... Wait!"

His expression changed suddenly.

The next second, Wang Wang Lengran saw Wei Wei Shaoqi jump off the carriage in a hurry, abandoning them, kicking away the queuing crowd, and rushing to the porridge shed in front.

"Seventh Sister? What are you doing at someone else's porridge shed?"

In the crowded crowd in front of the porridge shed, after a voice of confusion, a voice belonging to Wei Wei Shaoqi rang out again, furious:

"Li, Fu, Su! Good boy, you still dare to come and harass Seventh Sister? You are courting death!"

At the porridge shed, a certain cunning figure standing beside the veiled Wei Princess Anhui, who was distributing porridge together, "swished," dropped the porridge bowl, and turned to run away.

"You stand still for me, if you have the guts, don't run, don't run!" Wei Wei Shaoqi stared at this guy, desperately pushing away the crowd in front, and chased for a distance.

Finally, tired from hunting all day and adding injuries, he was panting, supporting his knees with both hands, and watched Li Su Dalang's back slip away with hatred...

The surrounding group of melon-eating masses had strange expressions. Wei Wei Shaoqi, with a dark face, dragged Wei Princess Anhui away, roaring from time to time: "What are you looking at? All get lost!"

"Third Brother, don't be fierce to them..."

"Seventh Sister, don't speak!"

The Xianbei guards who chased up from behind felt their young master's anger and began to bury their heads and rudely push away the commoners to clear a path for the young master.

Wei Wei Shaoqi pulled Wei Princess Anhui back to her sedan chair.

Just after sitting down, he asked with a face full of annoyance:

"Seventh Sister, what were you doing just now?!"

"Distributing porridge." She said softly.

Wei Wei Shaoqi questioned her head-on:

"You distribute porridge at someone else's porridge shed? Why is this bastard here too? Don't you know to hide from him? You haven't learned a lesson from the Cloud Water Pavilion incident last time? You believe anyone?

"The person who told you to wait was clearly warned, why were you chatting with someone you didn't know, and even making tea for him?"

Wei Princess Anhui looked at her aggressive cousin and lowered her head to explain:

"Third Brother, he said he didn't come with ill intentions, he was called by his younger sister to distribute porridge, so he happened to meet me. He also said that the Cloud Water Pavilion incident last time was a misunderstanding, he was very sorry, and didn't mean to offend."

Before Wei Wei Shaoqi could speak, she whispered again:

"Third Brother, actually he is not a bad person, he didn't do anything rude. Just now we were just distributing porridge together and chatted simply for a few sentences.

"And I went over myself, just to return the robe he left behind before."

Wei Wei Shaoqi listened, his temples bulging with blood, and asked in a low voice, suppressing his anger:

"Did his dirty hands touch you?"

"No. He is not a lecher."

"He's lucky he knows his place. If he dares to touch a single hair of my Wei family daughter, I'll chop his hand off! Even if his surname is Li, so what!"

Wei Wei Shaoqi flicked his sleeves, his expression warning somewhat gloomily:

"Next time you distribute porridge, Third Brother will accompany you. In the future, don't talk to him again, do you know?"

"Third Brother..."

"Mm?"

"I... I know."

Wei Wei Shaoqi prepared to get off the carriage. Before leaving, he turned back and asked:

"Seventh Sister, last time at the Cloud Water Pavilion, he mistakenly entered the private room. Why didn't you come to the next room to find Third Brother?"

Wei Princess Anhui lowered her head: "I forgot."

"Forgot?"

Wei Princess Anhui's fingers twisted together.

"Third Brother was in the next room, seeing Qin family sister. I was afraid of disturbing Third Brother."

"Is that so? Just afraid of disturbing Third Brother? Are you sure it's not afraid of something else?"

Wei Wei Shaoqi stared at her for a while, then his voice suddenly softened:

"Seventh Sister, Third Brother is not an unreasonable person. What are you afraid of Third Brother for? In the future, if there is anything, you must tell Third Brother immediately. Don't let your sympathy overflow again. The previous few times were luck, not meeting bad people.

"This is not Shenjing Luoyang. Prince Liang Uncle and the others are not here. There are many bad people outside. Third Brother is also worried about you being hurt. After all, you are so young, so innocent, and don't understand anything. Third Brother is very worried about you, do you understand?"

"Understood, Third Brother. It's for my own good."

"That's right, remember, the Wei family has many enemies. Many people want to have ill intentions towards you. The one surnamed Li just now might also be one. These bad people have too many tricks. Only your own family is the most reliable in this world, understand? If there is anything, tell Third Brother immediately. Third Brother will protect you!"

"Good, Third Brother."

Wei Princess Anhui smiled and nodded: "Princess Anhui won't do it next time."

"Seventh Sister is really obedient."

Having coaxed her enough, Wei Wei Shaoqi left with a smile.

Getting off the carriage, he restrained his smile and returned to his own carriage with a very unhappy expression.

He immediately instructed Wang Wang Lengran:

"In the future, send people to watch. Don't let today's incident happen again."

"Yes, Third Young Master."

Wang Wang Lengran nodded forcefully.

Wei Wei Shaoqi was silent for a while, then suddenly said:

"This young master has considered it. This is not a good sign. It must be reported to the Prince's Mansion immediately."

"What sign?"

Wei Wei Shaoqi's sudden words made Wang Wang Lengran stunned, and he didn't react for a while.

He tried to ask: "Is the Third Young Master saying that Li Su Dalang is harassing the Princess again..."

"No! Does he deserve it?"

Wei Wei Shaoqi suddenly said loudly in anger, then returned to normal, and continued coldly:

"This young master is talking about the matter between Li Su Dalang and Qin Ying!

"The Prince Xunyang Prince's Mansion has long wanted to marry into the family of the Great General of the Left Martial Guard!"

Wang Wang Lengran whispered:

"Isn't this very normal? The Qin family is hot now, and every force wants to make friends and curry favor."

Wei Wei Shaoqi waved his hand:

"No, this young master thought about it. The Cloud Water Pavilion private room incident last time cannot be simply let go. We must report this matter fully and completely, saying... the Prince Xunyang Prince's Mansion is not honest, its wolfish ambition is clearly revealed, and seeking marriage with the Qin family, who holds military power, is clear evidence. The attempt can be seen."

"This matter must not only be known to our Wei Prince's Mansion, but also to the Prince Liang's Mansion. Let everyone in our Wei family know. Let's see what Prince Liang Uncle's reaction is, and see if he still suppresses this Prince Xunyang Prince's Mansion! How can we continue to let it go."

Wang Wang Lengran understood in seconds. Wei Wei Shaoqi, as the third son of the Wei Prince, naturally firmly followed the Wei Prince's Mansion route and was very dissatisfied with the Prince Liang's Mansion route, regarding it as weak and conservative, and the voice within the Wei family that hindered the Wei Prince's Mansion.

"Prince Liang Uncle is still too kind. The struggle between Li and Wei is a life-and-death one. Where is there any retreat?

"Even if it is the Prince Xunyang Prince, ask yourself, is he closer to Prince Xiang, or closer to Father Prince and Prince Liang Uncle? They all have the surname Li. Brothers of the same blood, how can they still hold expectations?

"Once a person has a retreat, they will be cowardly and retreat. Nothing can be done. The ship is big and hard to turn. Looking forward and backward will only drag down our real big events!

"Prefect Wang, don't you think so?"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes."

This kind of internal line struggle, whether it was the Wei Prince or the Prince Liang, Wang Wang Lengran could not afford to offend. At this moment, facing the gloomy eyes cast by Wei Wei Shaoqi, he had nothing to say and lowered his head to agree.

Wei Wei Shaoqi's expression eased slightly, and he said flatly:

"Regarding the reporting matter, you also come along. It counts as testifying for this young master.

"I want to see how Prince Liang Uncle responds. Is this sign of Li-Qin marriage going to be managed or not?

"We can't just let an outsider surnamed Li snatch his own nephew's marriage, right?"

"Third Young Master's words are very true."

Wei Wei Shaoqi smiled:

"If it really goes on like this, everything is tolerated, no beating, no counterattack, we might as well let the Prince Xunyang Prince's Mansion ride on our Wei family's heads. Fine, recognizing an ancestor is quite good. We are all waiting to lose our heads."

"Third Young Master is joking."

Wang Wang Lengran seemed to think of something and asked cautiously:

"Third Young Master, you brought Princess Princess Anhui from so far away. Could it be an arrangement from Prince Liang's side? This... could it be the third thing you came to Jiangzhou for..."

Wang Wang Lengran immediately shut his mouth because Wei Wei Shaoqi cast a cold look.

"Some things, you shouldn't ask, don't ask."

Wang Wang Lengran was as silent as a cicada in winter.

After a while, Wei Wei Shaoqi let out a long sigh and closed his eyes to rest.

At a certain moment, not knowing what he thought of, he gritted his teeth and spat:

"How could the descendants of Taizong produce such cunning and shameless people? It's simply bad luck!"
