Rebirth of the Son of Heart

Wei Jingyuan had asked Yuan Bao to make a strict arrangement in advance. After Yuan Bao fished out the fish from the pond, he quietly sent it to the kitchen. First, the two silver carps didn't look eye-catching. The nobleman came, and then he took the fish and put it in the pot.Cook Hu was innocent after all, Wei Jingyuan would not let him take the blame, it was just a cutscene to calm Liu Gan's anger.

Everyone in the kitchen knelt outside the gazebo, Liu Gan glanced coldly at everyone, and before he could speak, Wei Jingyuan said first: "Today someone made food from the two fish that His Highness Second Highness gave me, who did it? It’s not too late to recruit.”

Chef Hu was startled, and knelt on the ground trembling. He should have discovered that these two fish were different from the ones he usually used for cooking. They were big and tender, and they were even more delicious when they were cooked. I understand, these two fish are actually for viewing.

"Yes...it's a slave..." It wasn't Chef Hu who spoke, but his apprentice Ah Fu.Chef Hu often takes care of Ah Fu on weekdays, and he watched Chef Hu cook these two fish with his own eyes, so he decided to come out and take the punishment for the master, which is also a repayment for his great kindness. .

Seeing Ah Fu crawling out, Hu Chef couldn't bear it and said: "Master, Ah Fu is young and ignorant, and he doesn't know that it is a fish for viewing. Please, Eldest Young Master, please spare Ah Fu." .” Cook Hu kowtowed three times.

Ah Fu grew up in the Duke's mansion since he was a child, and because of his kind heart, he endured hardships and stood hard work, and his popularity was naturally good. Now that Chef Hu took the lead in interceding, everyone was more courageous and stood up one after another.

Ah Fu knelt at the front, flinching and said: "The slave has no intention of mistakenly taking the fish that His Highness Second Highness gave to the Eldest Young Master as an ingredient, and please His Highness Second Highness, please forgive everyone, Ah Fu wishes to bear the punishment alone."

This is what Wei Jingyuan wanted. He looked at Liu Gan who was full of anger, and said with a half-smile: "The culprit has been found, and the Second Highness wants to deal with him?"

The moment Liu Qian and Wei Jingyuan looked at each other, he couldn't help thinking about his thoughts. If he really wanted to deal with this slave, he might make Wei Jingyuan feel guilty about this slave and add to his troubles.And because these two fish are common silver carps, it is human nature for others to admit their mistakes.

Liu Gan withdrew his gaze, coughed lightly, and said, "As the saying goes, those who don't know are not guilty. If you are ignorant, you should go back and learn, so you can learn more."

Everyone in the kitchen breathed a sigh of relief, and kowtowed to thank them.

Wei Jingyuan smiled, looked at Liu Qian and said, "This slave has poor eyesight, if it wasn't for the kindness of the Second Highness, Jing Yuan would have beaten him dozens of times to calm the anger of the Second Highness."

Liu Qian snorted coldly, turned his head away from looking at Wei Jingyuan.

Wei Jingyuan ignored it, and turned to look at everyone in the kitchen: "Is grandma's lunch ready?"

Chef Hu had an idea, and hurriedly said: "It was prepared, but it was not delivered."

"Then hurry up, if you delay grandma's meal, and be careful with your skin." Wei Jingyuan seemed to be stern, but there was no temper mixed with it.

"Your servant will leave." Everyone retreated after receiving Wei Jingyuan's instruction.

Now that the matter has come to this point, no one will mention this again, but Wei Jingyuan knows that Wen Mingzhuang will not let it go, since the goal cannot be achieved, and it cannot make Wei Jingyuan feel better.

"Mingzhuang often hears people say that brother Jing Yuan has a kind heart, and now I finally see it." Wen Mingzhuang smiled and said lightly: "The servants in the mansion have done wrong things, and brother Jing Yuan neither pursues nor punishes them. , Just prevaricate with a sentence of ignorance, it is really reluctant, a servant is a servant after all, if you don't strictly discipline, won't you climb on the head of the master?" Wen Mingzhuang was able to say these words, just because he saw Liu Gan's complexion was just bad: "Ming Zhuang has always been upright, please don't forget Brother Jing Yuan."

Wei Jingyuan smiled and said: "Brother Mingzhuang is right, but there is a reason for this. If Yuan Bao was not lazy, why would such a thing happen? If you really want to punish him, you have to punish him alone." Wei Jingyuan had expected , had to let Yuan Bao suffer a little bit.

"Young Master." Yuan Bao knelt down on the ground: "This matter happened because of Yuan Bao, and Yuan Bao is willing to be punished."

Wei Jingyuan was reluctant to give up, and said with a frosty face: "Go and receive the punishment yourself."

After Yuan Bao left, Wei Jingyuan smiled and said, "Brother Ming Zhuang, do you think it's okay?"

Wen Mingzhuang smiled as if nothing had happened: "Caixiu and I are leaving the mansion today, and my mother only allowed one hour." Wen Mingzhuang stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Mingzhuang has important matters at home, so I can't accompany the two Highnesses. , it is Ming Zhuang's crime."

Liu Yue knew that Liu Gan couldn't speak, so he went back for him: "Since there is something wrong at home in Mingzhuang, why should he be guilty, let's go back quickly."

"Ming Zhuang thanked the Third Highness." Wen Ming Zhuang took two steps back, and said again: "In the future, I will invite the two Highnesses to show their respect. If you can come to the prime minister's residence, Ming Zhuang will definitely serve you."

"If there is a chance, my second brother and I will definitely go." Liu Yue said with a smile.

Before Wen Mingzhuang exited the gazebo, Wen Caixiu came with her qin, walked up to Wei Jingyuan and stopped, nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Wei, for borrowing the qin, Caixiu is very grateful."

"Miss Wen, you're welcome." Wei Jingyuan lost Yuanbao, so he didn't have a capable person. Wen Caixiu was quick-witted, and after realizing it, she put the nine-stringed qin on the stone bench in the gazebo. Before leaving, Wen Caixiu came to Liu Gan's side , looked at him shyly: "Caixiu resigns."

Liu Gan was a little moved by Wen Caixiu's shy glances, and he deliberately said with a straight face, "Go."

The brothers and sisters of the Wen family left, and the gazebo became much quieter. Seeing that Liu Gan was still stern, Wei Jingyuan couldn't help laughing and said, "This gentle lady and gentleman are so good. Your Highness, why don't you want to pay more attention to such a beautiful woman as Miss Wen's family?" How many times?"

Liu Gan's eyes widened, his face turned red and he said, "Vulgar and vulgar fans, what's the use?"

Wei Jingyuan smiled and said: "Women like Miss Wen Jia are regarded as vulgar fans by the Second Highness, so what kind of woman can fall into the eyes of the Second Highness." Wei Jingyuan blinked, slightly curious: "Could it be Li Miss Jia like that?"

As soon as the words came out, Liu Yue looked at Wei Jingyuan, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"Don't talk nonsense, I treat Qinyao like a brother and sister, why come..." Liu Qian was almost caught by Wei Jingyuan because of his quick talk, he stood up firmly, waving his sleeves and turning his hands behind his back, and walked out of the pavilion.

Seeing him running away, Wei Jingyuan smiled and said, "Where is the Second Highness?"

"My concubine has something to tell my aunt." Liu Gan didn't turn around, but sped up his steps towards the west.

At this time, there were only Wei Jingyuan and Liu Yue in the gazebo. After the two exchanged a glance, Liu Yue actually picked up the chopsticks and continued to taste the dishes on the table: "You are different from the past."

Wei Jingyuan looked at him and said with a smile, "Why did the Third Highness say such a thing?"

Liu Yue said indifferently: "You ordered someone to make this fish for food, right?" Liu Yue glanced at the fish bones on the plate: "Why do you do this?"

Wei Jingyuan said as if nothing had happened: "Why does the Third Highness conclude that I did it on purpose?"

"You don't admit it, it's all because I'm pretending to be smart." Liu Yue put down his chopsticks, looked at Wei Jingyuan expressionlessly, and said softly, "You should be able to see clearly how Second Brother treats you, but just for today In other words, the second brother's intentions may be wrong."

Liu Yue's words are undoubtedly telling Wei Jingyuan that Liu Qian treats you so well, but you don't appreciate it, don't let your conscience go wrong.Liu Yue's words are so high-sounding, showing his grievances against Liu Qian everywhere, but it is actually for himself. If Liu Qian insists on going down like this, he will be less threatening.

Wei Jingyuan remembered that before he died, Wei Jingcun once said that if he was handed over to the emperor, would he still die?Now that I think about it carefully, it's really intriguing.Therefore, Wei Jingyuan decided to take a gamble and test Liu Yue.

Wei Jingyuan showed a gentle smile, and said softly: "If one day I marry the Second Highness as a male concubine, the Third Highness will really be happy?"

Liu Yue obviously froze, scrutinizing Wei Jingyuan with scrutiny, and said coldly, "Why did you say that?"

Wei Jingyuan smiled, and took out the jade pendant of Pisces Playing Pearl from his bosom: "This jade pendant is precious, please take it back, Your Highness the Third."

Liu Yue glanced at the jade pendant and said indifferently, "Second brother found it after a lot of hard work, why did you return it to me?"

Wei Jingyuan stroked the jade pendant lightly, and said with a slight smile, "You found it from His Highness the Third Highness after a lot of hard work?" Wei Jingyuan put the jade pendant on the table, and said, "Why did Wenmingzhuang come here today? I'm afraid the Third Highness has already Guessing that Jing Yuan came up with such a bad plan out of desperation to keep the jade pendant intact, and now it's time to return the jade pendant to Zhao."

Liu Yue said with a half-smile, "How did you know that this jade pendant is mine?"

Wei Jingyuan lowered his head slightly, and said sadly: "Two years ago, I went to the palace with my mother to visit Aunt Concubine Shu, and I overheard Aunt Concubine Shu mentioning that Concubine Chen left a piece of jade pendant before her death." Wei Jingyuan's eyes fell on the jade pendant Then he said: "No matter the appearance or the touch, it is consistent with what Aunt Concubine Shu said. Only then can Jing Yuan dare to conclude that this jade pendant is a personal thing of His Highness the Third Highness."

"Really?" Liu Yue didn't believe it at all.

"This statement is true." Wei Jingyuan said resolutely.

Liu Yue's eyes fell on the jade pendant on the table, and he smiled and said, "Forget it, this jade pendant is for you to preserve, so I shouldn't take it back, you just keep it."

Wei Jingyuan raised his head, pretending to be surprised and said: "The Third Highness is really willing."

"Why don't you give up, just put it away." When Liu Yue said he wanted to see the jade pendant in Wenmingzhuang, he had already thought about the fate of the jade pendant. people.

Seeing Wei Jingyuan put the jade pendant into his arms, Liu Yue had a warm smile on his face: "Second Brother, I'm afraid I have something to tell you, so I'll go back to the palace first." Liu Yue stood up and walked out of the gazebo , Wei Jingyuan got up quickly, followed behind and said: "Jing Yuan sends the third highness off."

Liu Yue raised the corners of his mouth, but said nothing.

In front of the Duke's Mansion, Liu Yue got into the carriage and drove away slowly.Wei Jingyuan stopped to look at it for a long time, then turned his gaze back to the mansion.Today, Wei Jingyuan has already done what he wanted to do. As for the future, he still has to do it step by step. He must gain Liu Yue's trust to ensure that there will be no harm in the future.On the way to find Liu Qian, Wei Jingyuan thought of Wei Jingcun's words again. If it was true what he said, Liu Yue had a different kind of thought for him, then things would be much easier.

On the way Wei Jingyuan went to the residence of the eldest lady, he happened to meet Biyu, and learned from her that Liu Gan had already left the residence of the eldest lady, so he should be at Wei Jingyuan's residence at the moment.Wei Jingyuan was relegated halfway back, first he went to have a look at Yuanbao, at this time he was lying on the collapsed floor not daring to move, his buttocks were red and swollen, it can be seen that the person who got off the board still had some strength.Wei Jingyuan felt distressed, but Liu Gan hadn't left yet, so he had to choose another time to visit Yuanbao again.

When Wei Jingyuan entered the door, he heard joyful laughter coming from the room, he listened carefully, and found that it was Wei Jingcun who came.Wei Jingyuan listened outside the door for a while, then stepped over the threshold and entered the house.

Liu Gan was smiling all over his face, but when Wei Jingyuan entered the door, Liu Gan immediately darkened his face and said in a low voice, "Did the third brother leave first?"

Wei Jingyuan responded, "The Third Highness has returned to the palace."

Liu Qian praised Liu Yue in his heart for understanding his own thoughts, but on the surface he turned his head in disdain, looking at the wood and bamboo outside Xuan's window.

"Brother." Wei Jingcun stood up, lowered his head and said, "Brother, did you bother Jing Cun?"

Wei Jingyuan walked forward slowly, and said with a smile, "Elder brother never blamed you, second brother don't need to worry about it."

Wei Jingcun raised his head hastily, with tears in his eyes, he said happily: "Brother always loves me, I will definitely remember it in my heart, and dare not forget."

"My brother, there's no need to be like this." Wei Jingyuan held back the resentment in his heart, and smiled against his will.At this time it was not time to argue with Wei Jingcun, Wei Jingyuan glanced at Liu Qian who was sullen, and said: "Second Highness has something to say to me, Second Brother should leave first."

Wei Jingcun turned around and said to Liu Gan, "Jing Cun will leave."

Wei Jingyuan watched Wei Jingcun leave the door, then turned around, went to sit beside Liu Qian, and before he could sit still, Wei Jingyuan heard Liu Qian say coldly: "Did I let you sit?"

Wei Jingyuan was quite helpless, stood up with a smile, and stood beside Liu Qian.
