Chapter 518 What a fate!
Chapter 518 What a fate!
The breeze rustled the branches and leaves, and Wan Niang's singing gradually faded away until it disappeared into the mountains. The conversation between the two brothers ended unhappily again. They looked at each other with disgust, each thinking about their own problems and unwilling to pay attention to the other.
The mountain returned to silence, with only the occasional cry of a night owl being heard.
And in the Wang family, the two people who had been watching them silently, and who were gifted, opened their eyes at the same time.
Pei Yi turned his head and looked through the window at the two dark shadows hanging outside the courtyard. He couldn't help but complain in his heart: Fortunately, my family knows everyone well.
Wang Ersheng on the other end was extremely depressed, and kept muttering: "Having too many children is such a hassle! One or two of them will make me worry."
As soon as he finished speaking, his wife's questioning voice rang out beside him: "What's going on? Are those two brats still quarreling?"
As he spoke, Li Anhe had already stood up.
Wang Ersheng quickly reached out his hand and gently comforted him, "No! I just thought that this brat Zan was so ambitious and insisted on living in Yanjing. Wan Niang has no status and might be bullied outside. Even if our family can support her, she still has to rely on Zan to earn face for her."
Then he muttered, "It seems I have to go back to Yanjing as soon as possible to find your cousin and exchange the credit for handling the case. If there are any rebels, I will also help and make up for it to give Wan Niang a title."
Hearing these words, Li Anhe couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Children are all debts! You have never liked fighting and killing, it's really difficult for you!"
Wang Ersheng immediately got on the right track, leaned over to his wife's ear in a cheerful mood, and whispered softly, "Zhizhi still understands me! She knows that I am the most gentle!"
Li Anhe: …
At the same time, the two people who had been silent in the tree also broke the long silence.
Wang Cheng raised his head, looking at the endless starry sky shrouded in the night, and said first: "Since you don't know who your biological father is, then return to Yanjing as soon as possible. The disappearance of Master's wife must have involved a lot of people. The person behind the scenes..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Yuzan glanced at him lightly with a resolute look in his eyes, and said firmly, "I will kill anyone who insults my mother."
Wang Cheng was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly and said, "Okay."
After saying this, the two brothers looked at each other, and the hidden madness spread wildly in their hearts like wildfire.
The peaceful and comfortable life in the mountains, like a few stolen days of leisure, came to a quiet end tonight. One carriage after another, loaded with unknown things, finally set out on the road back to Yanjing.
The carriage rumbled forward, the wheels rolling, raising dust along the way.
The mood of returning to Yanjing this time was completely different from the last time. Little Yining couldn't help but lift the curtain of the carriage, looking at the familiar scenery outside that was constantly receding, and said happily: "Mom, Yanjing is almost here! Are we going to see my uncle soon?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a discordant voice sounded behind her: "What is there to see about my father!"
The closer they got to Yanjing, the more Sheng Hongtong's naughty nature erupted. Others were homesick, but he was homesick and complained all day long.
Xiao Yining attributed this to holiday syndrome. Although he could recite lessons every day in Linjia Village, when he got to the mountain, he followed his grandfather, jumping up and down to pick game, and completely let go of his childish nature.
She turned around and looked at Sheng Hongtong, kindly reminding him: "Uncle, why don't you recite the book? When uncle checks you, if you still can't recite it, be careful that he will punish you!"
Sheng Hongtong: ...
The naughty kid, whose thoughts were exposed, used his glaring skills again, and then looked at Lin Yinhu: "Brother Hu, recite with me."
Lin Yinhu put down the book in his hand, looking embarrassed, and said: "Azhu, I want to accompany you, but my uncle asked me to interpret it, and I am too late."
Ever since Lin Yuzan accepted his fate and took over Lin Yinhu completely, he allowed him to rebuild his foundation and hone his brain at the same time.
Sheng Hongtong looked at the messy interpretation written by his subordinate, pursed his lips in displeasure, and turned his gaze to Wang Gungun.
Wang Gungun leaned comfortably beside Wanniang. When he noticed her gaze, he didn't even bother to raise his eyelids and said directly, "What are you reciting? No one here cares about your studies."
As soon as these words came out, the naughty kid's face turned red with anger.
Among the five children in the group, he was the only one who was not disciplined. The others would be scolded or praised to varying degrees every day.
However, the two grown men were as cowardly as mice and were unwilling to correct him even when he was reciting the wrong books. This made him feel dissatisfied but helpless.
Afterwards, he very reluctantly took out the "Da Zhou Calendar" and said helplessly: "Qing Jie, listen to me recite..."
Soon, the sound of a child reciting aloud could be heard in the carriage, echoing on this wide and flat official road.
Wang Cheng lifted the curtain and stared at the carriage behind him for a moment, muttering, "The one who chased the Second Prince that day was Prince Yu. Although he failed, the Emperor still announced to the public that the Second Prince was dead. When do you think the Emperor will let the Second Prince go back?"
The last sentence was asked to Lin Yuzan who was in the car.
Lin Yuzan glanced at Pei Yi beside him and replied, "This matter is not up to the emperor to decide. It depends on how we can successfully deliver this hot potato to the palace and let everyone know in public that the second prince is not dead."
Wang Cheng lowered the car curtain and waited for his old rival to continue.
Lin Yuzan already had a solution in mind, and he continued confidently: "The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it."
Wang Cheng immediately understood what he was thinking when he heard this. He raised his eyebrows in joy and praised, "This is a good idea!"
After saying that, they both looked at Pei Yi at the same time, with calculating eyes flashing.
Pei Yi: ...
The young man said in a cold tone: "Why don't you go and persuade Prince Yu to send the second prince to the palace? Why are you looking at me?"
Lin Yuzan laughed when he heard this. He shook his head and said, "You didn't take Jiang Shannai's life last time. I thought you had become smarter."
Pei Yi glanced at him and replied indifferently: "Saving him alive is just to let him marry Lin Yishi!"
Wang Cheng patted the boy's shoulder and said, "First-class people teach with their eyes, second-class people teach with words, and third-class people teach with sticks. When we wait for King Yu, if you still don't understand, ask me and Shunan again."
Lin Yuzan looked at the scenery outside and whispered, "If you think about it carefully, the day when King Yu went to Yanzhou to distribute disaster relief grain should be today when he returns."
He looked at Wang Cheng and Lin Yuzan suspiciously and saw that they both had serious expressions and were not joking.
He pursed his lips and said no more.
As these words were spoken, the speed of the carriages slowly slowed down.
I don't know how long it had been, but there was a faint vibration on the official road. The young man looked out of the car with surprise on his face.
Not far behind, a huge convoy was slowly approaching, with flags flying and bright armor. In the middle of the convoy, a gorgeously decorated carriage was particularly eye-catching. It was the carriage of King Yu.
In the closed carriage, Sheng Jingzhan's face was as pale as paper, bloodless. His brows were furrowed, his face was full of gloom, one hand was tightly holding a handkerchief, covering his mouth, but the violent coughing sound still came out from the depths of his throat.
Seeing King Yu's carriage approaching, Lin Yuzan immediately ordered his men to pull the carriage to the side and let them go first.
At this moment, Xiao Yining noticed something strange and quickly lifted the curtain to look, and saw dust flying. What surprised her even more was that when one of the carriages passed by her, a big "Yu" character directly blinded her eyes.
Xiao Yining: ⊙﹏⊙
No way, she and the male protagonist are so destined to each other that they met each other twice when they returned to Yanjing.
