The old lady of the Gao family, the aunt of the younger generation of the Wen family, although her body has become weaker and less healthy with age, and she has to stay in bed to recuperate from time to time, she is still in good spirits and has been holding on.It's just that part of the power is given to the children and grandchildren, and at the same time, Wen Xueqing is waiting for Wen Xueqing to marry into the Gao family and transfer the power.

Wen Xueqing remembered that when Wen Wulang left a few months ago, several brothers in the family visited the Gao family, and when they came back, they said that their aunt and grandmother looked very good, and that they could wait for Wen Xueqing for a few more years. maintenance.

"Impossible, it's impossible for my elder brother to harbor ill intentions towards my aunt!" Wen Xueqing didn't believe it.

Although Wen Jiming has been investigating the affairs of Gao's family, he never thought of blaming the old lady for this.

The old lady is gone, it is no small matter, the old servant hurriedly went to report to Princess Lekang.

Ling Rou pondered, and said: "I was called by His Highness, and it was not an important matter. Since you have something to do with your family, then I won't bother you much."

The situation of the Gao family is well known to the Linzhou family.With the old lady gone, the marriage of the Wen Gao family is imperative.There must be a lot of things to be busy inside the Wen family, and it's not good for Ling Rou to stay here.

Wen Xueqing didn't care about Lingrou anymore, and waved her to leave quickly.Now that the old lady is gone, the Ling family has to send someone to mourn the funeral, and Ling Rou is probably busy too.

Thinking of the sudden departure of the old lady, and the fact that the brothers and sister Wen Xueqing stayed in the pot for a long time strangely, Lingrou hesitated, and said: "If you need help, come to me, I won't leave the pot right away. "

Regardless of whether she will marry into the Gao family or not, Ling Rou always feels that Wen Xueqing's marriage may not go so smoothly.Gao Qi still has to keep his filial piety, and Wen Xueqing might not be able to wait for these three years.And three years is too long, and many things can happen in between.

Wen Xueqing was unlucky, but she was strangely not happy, but worried.

With a simple farewell, Lingrou stepped out of the meditation room.

The meditation room was built next to the bamboo forest, and the tall bamboos covered the sky. Before she came here, there was a little moonlight shining on the ground through the gaps in the bamboo leaves. Now the sky is full of cloudy clouds, covering even the moon, not to mention the faint stars.

She looked back at the meditation room in the shadow of the bamboo grove, the lights inside were weak and not very bright, wobbly and ready to fall down and go out at any time.

"It seems that the wind is going to blow." Lingrou whispered softly.

The maid who accompanied her with a lamp followed her and said, "Yeah, this autumn is here, but it's still not cold, so the days should be around the same. In previous years, it's always rainy at this moment."

As soon as she finished speaking, a gust of wind blew in, and the bamboo forest shook wildly and rustled in an instant, and pieces of withered and yellow bamboo leaves fell like a rainstorm.

The strong wind blew out the lanterns and candles, and the road ahead was dark.

The maidservant's foot was tilted, her foot was in the air, half of her body was kneeling on the ground, and she reminded Lingrou loudly: "Little lady, be careful!"

The wind lifted up the dresses of the two, and the maid put down the lantern and ran to Ling Rou: "Did you fall, little lady?"

"It's nothing." Ling Rou leaned against her, and put her other hand on the rockery next to her to stabilize her body, "Are you okay?"

"It's good that little lady is fine." The maid fumbled again to find the lost lantern.

The lantern had been extinguished, and the master and servant returned to the wing in the dark.

When the candles in the wing room were lit, the maid saw that Ling Rou's white and tender hands were covered with tiny scratches.

"My little lady's hand, it hurts so much... why don't you say it, the medicine, get it quickly!"

The accompanying servants went in and out to look for plasters, Lingrou shook her clothes, and found that when she leaned against the rockery just now, her clothes were also torn.In some deeper places, the skin has turned red and cracked.

She didn't feel any pain at all.

"I don't hurt," Lingrou said, "don't be nervous."

"It doesn't hurt, it's bleeding." The maid squatted down, carefully applied the medicine, and complained in a low voice, "Young lady didn't even say anything."

With a perfunctory smile, Lingrou casually brought up other topics to divert the maidservant's attention, absent-mindedly passing the time, but she kept thinking about Wen Xueqing.

She didn't have much contact with Gao Qi, but she always felt that this happened too suddenly.Moreover, Wen Xueqing didn't seem to have met Gao Lan when she came here. According to the relationship between the two of them, this is too abnormal.

Can the marriage between the Wen Gao family really go smoothly?

It was late at night, and Ling Rou tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Even with half-closed eyes, her mind was so clear that she could even hear the bamboo leaves slapping clearly outside the window.

After finally staying up until the fourth watch, I fell into a deep sleep.The next day, he didn't get out of bed until three days later, and then he heard the report from the people below that Princess Lekang and Wen Xueqing packed their things and went back to the city early in the morning.

"gone back?"

Ling Rou shivered and woke up all of a sudden.

"Let's go back quickly, don't wait for mother and the others!"

"Little lady, don't worry," the maid chased after her with her shoes, "It's cold on the ground, don't run around!"

===

Ling Rou on the other side didn't care about putting on her shoes and rushed back to Shenhu City, while Wen Xueqing and Princess Lekang on this side had already stepped into Gao's house.

The old lady has gone, and the Gao Mansion is full of plains, and those who come and go to express their condolences all have sad and miserable faces.

Wen Xueqing and Princess Lekang changed into plain-colored clothes, removed the gorgeous jewelry, and changed into simple and elegant silver jewelry.Chang Tianyuan called soldiers to guard the outside, and a layer of servants surrounded the inside. Dozens of servants and maidservants followed the cart and drove towards Gao's house in a mighty manner.

Except when necessary, Princess Lekang would not drive out in a princess car when traveling in the past.Although the people of Linzhou know that the Wen family's wife is a princess, they rarely see her.

Therefore, when the imposing convoy walked all the way to Gao's house, it attracted many passers-by to stop and watch.

The curtain covers the people sitting inside, but does not hinder their imagination.

"Princess Jinzun Yugui, even the cars driving past have a fragrance, but it's a pity that it's hidden..."

"It's not easy to see. When Wen Gong's only girl gets married, the princess will definitely come again."

"I once heard from Tong Li's uncle's family that the little lady is an arrogant master, and she can't tolerate people at all. I'm afraid that Miss Wen is going to marry... Hehehe, Mr. Gao Lang is gentle and handsome, and looks a little sick , I don’t know if I will suffer such a hardship.”

Ordinary people don't dare to talk about noble people face to face, they all whisper behind their backs.

Wen Xueqing looked out through the gap in the curtain, but only half of her face was exposed, and she heard a surprised exclamation.

"That's a girl from the Wen family, the niece of Her Highness the Princess! She is also beautiful, what can't bear with such a beauty?" A man immediately said loudly.

I didn't hear what he said before, but seeing his vulgar words and deeds, and his wretched eyes, I'm afraid there won't be any good words in front of him.

Chang Tianyuan's expression changed immediately, without looking back, he called a soldier to arrest him.

Their lord, Wen Jiming, was slandered by the Gao family, and in order to prove his innocence, he was willing to stay in the Gao mansion.Now Princess Lekang and the daughter-in-law put on a posture to intimidate the Gao family, just to make them subdue.Although Wen Xueqing was flamboyant, she never hurt the common people, and she will take over the pot in the future. How can she tolerate such obscenities from passers-by?

Wen Xueqing and Princess Lekang didn't hear the man's words clearly, but only vaguely heard a few words.It wasn't until the man was escorted by the soldiers to kneel down in front of the car that he realized what they were talking about.

Princess Lekang looked cold and solemn, without changing the curvature of the corner of her mouth, she said coldly: "Whip punishment."

The Gao family's approach itself is not very correct. Even if this matter can be handled well, if Wen Xueqing marries into the Gao family, there will inevitably be rifts between the two families.

It was his blessing that Gao Qi was able to marry Wen Xueqing. When the old lady was in poor health, he had the greatest power in his hands. Even if he hadn't initiated this matter, it was impossible for him to be ignorant of it!

The people onlookers were startled, they didn't expect Princess Lekang, who represented the nobles of the Tian family, to be so ruthless when she opened her mouth.

Princess Lekang was angry. Although she didn't know why Wen Jiming and Wen Xueqing had to use her name to come to the magic pot, but seeing how busy the two were, she also knew that things were not easy.

"Foul words, rough country people dare to pretend to be a noble girl?" Princess Le Kang sneered, if she doesn't show her prestige today, if Wen Xueqing really marries into the god pot in the future, how can she control the god pot.

The man was also stubborn, he received more than a dozen whips abruptly, but he didn't even cry out in pain.

Wen Xueqing sat in the car and leaned against Princess Lekang, and heard the silence outside the car, only the sound of long whips breaking through the air.

She glanced at Princess Lekang, tugged at her sleeves: "Auntie..."

"I will not let him go." Princess Lekang said.

This place is not far from Gao's house, and someone will report to Gao's house what they did.

——This scene was not only for the onlookers, but also for everyone in the Gao family.

Wen Xueqing took a deep breath, waited patiently for a while, and raised the curtain to signal the soldiers to stop.

"Let's go, he won't beg for mercy if he is killed." Wen Xueqing turned around and held Princess Lekang's hand, reminding her in a low voice, "Brother's side is important."

The torturer stopped and kicked the man to the side of the road.Today is his good luck, if it was usual, he definitely wouldn't just let it go.

His back was beaten to pieces, and he was kicked away again. Hearing Wen Xueqing's voice, the man staggered and straightened up to look at her.

"Girls don't have to stop here, what I do is what I do, I dare to admit it! What's more, the girl is so beautiful, today is worth it!"

The man laughed, and the soldiers around him who hadn't left immediately glared at him. The soldier who executed the torture raised his long whip again, and a drop of blood and minced meat fell to the ground from a high place at the end of the whip, and a small flower of blood bloomed.

Without even looking at the other party, Wen Xueqing put down the curtain in annoyance, and sat back in the car: "I have urgent matters today, so I don't care about you. Rough country people, it's not worth wasting time."

If it wasn't for the involvement of the Wen family, she wouldn't have deliberately waited for a while before making people stop.Moreover, Wen Xueqing still misses Wen Jiming, and the Gao family can't delay any longer.
