Yangcheng

Hearing the news of Tang Linglang's death suddenly, Tang saw that Wei Wei's face was as calm as a lake, but there was still a ripple in his heart.

This Tang Linglang has had trouble with her since she was a child, and has always liked to make trouble for her and her elder sister.

It's a pity that she has no skills, has never made troubles, and can't take care of her own affairs, so Tang Jianwei has always looked down on her.

After all, the person who often dangled in front of his eyes died suddenly. Tang Jianwei felt that a part of his childhood had disappeared like this, as if there was a piece missing in his heart.

Lu Fan said: "Jing Zhaoyin has already learned about Furong San, and is investigating with the Ministry of Criminal Justice. It is estimated that there will be news from Dali Temple soon. Cao Long has already been imprisoned, and all the gold-selling caves under his command have been confiscated. Without Cao Long's control of Juntianfang, we are the only one."

Tang Jian smiled and said: "Very good. It is estimated that within two months, all properties under Cao Long will be confiscated and resold, and the selling price will be lower than the normal market price. From now on, I will prepare silver taels , ready to take over."

Cao Long fell into a big somersault this time, and he didn't know how the eldest princess felt.

However, the eldest princess probably didn't know that Cao Long was related to Furongsan, otherwise she probably wouldn't have used this person.

Once Cao Long fell, Tang Jianwei would definitely take this opportunity to expand his power, and he didn't know what the eldest princess was thinking, so he had to find an opportunity to visit her Taiping Mansion, and by the way, also inquire about the emperor's thoughts from her.

And the eagle-eyed man was still in Dali Temple, so she had to ask Anian to find an opportunity to pry his mouth open, hoping to find clues about the suspicious case of the Tang family.

Tang Jianwei and Tong Shaoxuan came out after Lu Fan finished talking without disturbing the eldest sister and sister-in-law's rest.

"I don't think Tang Linglang may be dead."

When Tong Shaoxuan took Tang Jianwei's arm through the veranda and walked towards his yard, Tang Jianwei suddenly said this.

"Why?" Tong Shaoxuan asked.

"She wants to attack my sister-in-law this time, but the target is actually me. I grew up with her, and I understand what she is thinking too well. She hasn't been able to bite me hard yet, causing me to suffer substantial harm. Why? Will you commit suicide willingly?"

Tong Shaoxuan didn't know how to comfort Tang Jianwei for a while.

Tang Jianwei actually didn't need to be comforted, she just wanted to say that.

The second uncle's family completely disappeared in Boling, and the feeling of family ruin reminded Tang Jianwei of his former self.

Revenge may not be the best method, but in this era where the weak prey on the strong, she has to do it.

Tang Jianwei is no longer alone at this time, she has a family, a wife who needs to be protected, a child who is about to be born, and a large family of relatives and friends who treat her sincerely.

She doesn't feel cruel.

She will also become stronger.

The emperor lived in Concubine Lan's Chaohua Palace for seven days, never leaving the concubine and the little prince, and ordered to rebuild the gardens in Chaohua Palace according to Concubine Lan's wishes.

After the emperor came out of Chaohua Palace, he immediately ordered Li Like to be executed, including 160 five members of the Shen family.

Feng Dingyuan made General Shen Ding the king of Kang, and sent Duoyi country to make peace with him as a concubine.

The fact that Shen Ding was sent to Duoyiguo shocked the entire Shen family, and it made the clan even more angry than Li Like implicating more than 100 people to death.

Dozens of Shen clans were originally torn apart due to Shen Yue's death, and some people who did not want to participate in the party struggle had already left Boling, and the power of the Shen family was greatly reduced.

General Dingyuan, who is now the most powerful and has the right to speak, was actually sent by the emperor to be his concubine!

However, Lv Lanxin, who should have been convict by seizing the official, was not only not convicted, it is said that the emperor even visited her, and even said that she had made great achievements in protecting the official and wanted to promote her.

Are Li Like and the Shen family the scapegoats of their Lan family?

Is the Lan family planning to abandon the Shen family after using them?

Planning to cut them off with the emperor?

Several respected elders of the Shen family met and got together to sort out the matter, and the more they thought about it, the more angry they became.

"After Concubine Lan gave birth to the prince, the emperor loved her even more. It has been a long time since he went to other concubines. I am afraid that when the prince grows up, the emperor will establish a crown prince! Even if he does not, the traitor of the Lan family will Cunning and treacherous will definitely act both soft and hard to let the emperor make the prince of the Lan family the prince! At that time, the world will belong to the Lan family! And what about our Shen family!?"

"Why did the Lan family marry the Wu family? Does this mean to kick us out?!"

"Our Shen family has paid so much and ended up like this. It's really sad and lamentable!"

"The Lan family and the Wu family are really different things!"

Shen Liulang, who had been sitting in the corner, became angrier the more he listened.

This Shen Liulang is Shen Changkong, who was ranked first and second in the imperial examination this year.

He came to attend the clan meeting on behalf of his own family, originally he wanted to hear the elders' opinions on the severe situation of the Shen family, but he didn't want to listen to the opinions, it was all stupid nonsense.

Several far-sighted elders in the Shen family clan have passed away, and the younger generation of talented people have been far away. Only these fools and barbarians are left, so why worry about the Shen family not falling!

Even though Shen Changkong's seniority was the lowest here, it wasn't his turn to speak originally, but now he couldn't help it.

Shen Changkong directly interrupted a certain uncle: "This matter is clearly a trick by the emperor to provoke our Shen family and the Lanwu family. Naturally, she deliberately got close to Concubine Lan, and also intentionally punished the Shen family severely and spared the Lan family. It is to use this matter to cause discord between our two parties and to teach the alliance to renounce. Don't be fooled!"

Everyone looked at the weak-crowned boy in the corner, and said with contempt: "What about the prince who gave birth so hard? Everyone knows that it is very troublesome for a girl to give birth. If the emperor is really at odds with the Lan family, why should he have a child with the noble concubine Lan? She was named a noble concubine!"

"This is the emperor's method." Shen Changkong didn't panic in the face of everyone's doubts, and said in an orderly manner, "The emperor has six princes, two of whom are adopted and raised, and the other four are her own. The little Concubine Lan Whether the princess can become the owner of the East Palace is still open to debate, but just by being named the noble concubine, she can use an excuse to avoid suspicion, drive Prime Minister Lan away from Boling, and immediately incite our uncles in the Shen family to oppose the two families of Lan and Wu. It's a good business that can make a profit without losing money. Uncles and uncles are too naive and too confused, right?"

"you!"

With one sentence from Shen Changkong, more than a dozen elderly people over the age of [-] were annoyed.

Although sixty is pleasant to the ears, it is obvious that Shen Changkong's words are not easy to reach the ears of Shen's elders.

"You little yellow-haired boy knows what a fart!" Sanbo scolded directly.

Shen Changkong sneered: "I don't know, I'm not as familiar with Uncle San. Since Uncle and Pi are so familiar, can you tell me in detail?"

Someone behind the crowd laughed, and the third uncle was so angry that he hit the ground with his crutches. Following the third uncle, the fourth son stepped forward to lift Shen Changkong up from the chair, and swung his fists to teach him a lesson.

Someone stopped someone from applauding, and there was chaos in the room at the moment, until Dangkong flew a sword from the crowd, pierced into the wall with a clang, and there was a burst of exclamation, cutting the huddled Shen family apart like a rag.

The Shen family all turned their heads and saw that there was a woman at the door.

"Wu Ziyao?" Someone recognized Wu Xianyi.

Wu Xianyi was wearing a veiled hat and a white fox fur coat. The black veil completely covered her pale face, and only her facial features and murderous expression could be glimpsed from the black veil.

"I hope that the elders of the Shen family can think about it carefully, what are the consequences of the current internal strife."

Wu Xianyi walked through the crowd and took off the sweating sword on the wall with one hand. With a sway of the cold front, the people around couldn't help but take a step back.

Shen Changkong straightened his clothes and looked at the woman from the Wu family.

Wu Xianyi said: "Whether it is the Wu family, the Lan family or your Shen family, it is impossible to turn back now. The fate of our three families is intertwined, and our lives depend on each other. The enemy of Wei Xi is not a certain person, but our three families. It is our three families. Everyone in these three families in Boling. What she wants is the flesh and blood of our three families to pay homage to her first wife. How could Wei Xi let the Lan family go? Looking at her careful planning and growing up slowly over the years, I understand that she will not Recklessly attacking us all at once, but breaking them one by one and eating away slowly. What she wants is to swallow us all without a single soldier. If your Shen family continues to be confused, I am afraid that you will be the first to be destroyed by Wei Xi Don't say that the Wu family will not help you when the time comes, this is your own death."

Wu Xianyi's voice was not loud, and even his breath was much weaker than before, and he felt like he was on the verge of falling.

But no matter what state she is in, as long as she stands here, everyone around her will not dare to object.

After Wu Xianyi finished speaking, he left, leaving the whole room in silence.

When Wu Xianyi came out, there was a Wu family's carriage parked here, which seemed to be waiting for her.

Wu Xianyi glanced at the carriage, and the people in the carriage opened the door as if they felt her gaze.

"Ma'am, I'm here to pick you up." Lan Yiwei, who was wearing a pink jacket and Wu Xianyi's fur coat of the same style, sat inside.

Wu Xianyi hesitated for a moment, then got into the carriage.

As soon as the carriage door was closed, she couldn't bear it anymore and coughed frequently.

"Hey, ma'am, the injury is too serious, and there is no improvement at all, why do you have to run around?" Lan Yiwei helped her follow her back.

For what?

Wu Xianyi also wanted to ask, why did the Wu family want to get themselves into a quagmire and make enemies with the Tian family.

And why was she born in Wu's family, to take on this burden that had nothing to do with her.

She asked, no one could answer her, she found the answer for herself.

"Because my surname is Wu." Wu Xianyi said in a low voice, as if answering Lan Yiwei, as if talking to himself.

"What?" Lan Yiwei didn't hear clearly.

Wu Xianyi didn't repeat it, just said: "Why did you come?"

"Madam dragged her sick body to run around privately, so she was naturally worried about her wife, so she came here specially to pick Madam back."

"I still have something to do, you go back by yourself first."

"What's the matter, I'll go with you." Lan Yiwei said patiently and gently.

Wu Xianyi closed his eyes and said nothing, Lan Yiwei was silent for a moment and asked:

"When that incident happened, you and I were still infants. I was three years old and you were four years old. We shouldn't be responsible for all this. But since we were born here and grew up here, we were loved and loved by Ye Niang since we were young. The family, Mengmeng, should take on what we should do. Ziyao, this is a good name, you, Ye Niang, must have high expectations of you, and you must make them very proud, right?"

Wu Xianyi's eyes still did not open.

She didn't want to see Lan Yiwei, but she couldn't close her ears together.

Lan Yiwei's words still entered her ears and penetrated into her heart.

Ziyao, do you know why Aye called you Ziyao?You are our family's hope.

Ziyao, how can you be willing to be the queen?Why does the master of Guozijian always praise Wang Lang?Don't you have any shame?How can you be compared to him?

You are number one, you must be number one.

As the eldest daughter of the Wu family, don't you know how heavy the responsibilities are on your shoulders?What you do is related to the safety of the entire Wu family.The lives of hundreds of people in the Wu family are on your shoulders. If you take a wrong step, you will lose everything. You are the last hope of the Wu family...

……

Lu Lan walked forward slowly, followed behind Shi Ruzhuo, looking at the back of Shi Ruzhuo's head, the past events emerged in her mind.

Lu Lan still remembered that kitten, it was a little bit small when I first saw it, its whole body was snow white, its eyes were like blue gemstones, it was very beautiful.

The kitten and its mother were lost. Seven-year-old Lu Lanxin saw that the kitten was wet from the rain, curled up in a weak ball, and looked very uncomfortable.

Lu Lanxin walked up to it holding an oil-paper umbrella and poked it, but the kitten didn't run away.

Lu Lanxin picked it up, and the kitten barked hoarsely at her with difficulty. Lu Lanxin saw that it was so fragile, as if a little force would kill it.

Putting the kitten into her lapel, Lu Lan walked home, looking down at her kitten from time to time, and the kitten looked up at her from time to time.

"You're so ugly." Lu Lan laughed heartily at it.

I took it back home and wiped it clean. After raising it for a while, the kitten survived and recovered gradually. It also grew from the size of a palm to the size of an arm, which is very sticky to Lu Lan's heart.Instead of going to sleep in the small grass nest that Lu Lanxin prepared for it, he fell in love with Lu Lanxin's bed, rolled around her face, hugged her arm with a small pad next to her arm, and slept soundly.

Only then did Lu Lan realize that cats can also snore.

Lu Lanxin took care of it for a while, and named it Chu Qi.

Because it was picked up on the seventh day of the lunar new year.

Lu Lan heartily fed it fish and meat, and took good care of it.Chu Qi never ran around, and always waited for her under Lu Lanxin's bed. Lu Lanxin even joked that it was either a cat or a dog.

But one day Lu Lanxin came back from the academy and couldn't find Chu Qi.

I searched around in Lu Mansion but couldn't find it until I met Lan Wan.

Lu Lan was so anxious that her eyes turned red, she stepped forward and grabbed Lan Wan's skirt and asked her, "Lan Niang, have you seen my Chu Qi?"

"Chu Qi? What is that?" Lan Wan asked her with a smile.

"My kitten, me, the kitten I have raised for a long time is gone." Lu Lan wiped her tears in her heart, unable to adjust.

"Is it it?" Lan Wan picked up something, Lu Lan only took one look, and the blood in his body froze, and the hand holding Lan Wan's skirt gradually loosened.

Lan Wan casually threw the cold and stiff Chu Qi into the yard, with a smile still on her face: "I'll kill you this time, and next time you pick up some messy stuff, I'll let you kill yourself .Do you know that you look ugly and cowardly when you cry, not at all like your mother Lu."

After Lan Wan left, Lu Lan's tears didn't dare to fall anymore, her shoulders trembled.

Gradually, she followed Lan Wan's example and began to laugh.

……

The person who had been walking in front suddenly turned his head and cast his cold eyes on Lu Lanxin.

"You are following too blatantly." Shi Ruzhuo held the dagger in his hand.

"The current me can't hurt you." Lu Lanxin still had a plank in his arms, and his face was covered by the brim of his hat, but the bruises on the corners of his mouth were obvious.

Shi Ruzhuo asked: "Why are you following me?"

Lu Lan squinted her eyes, and said in a light-hearted tone that could not tell whether it was serious or joking: "It goes without saying, of course it is to protect you."

Shi Ruzhuo ignored her, summoned a carriage, got up and left quickly.

"It doesn't seem to work like this." Lu Lanxin sighed softly, called a carriage, and followed behind Shi Ruzhuo.
