Puyang is located in the hinterland of the Chenghan Dynasty, with water and land connections in all directions, water transportation is prosperous, and salt lords gather.
The two major families in Puyang are the Wei family and the Xiao family. In terms of financial resources, the Wei family is the leader.
The Wei family's mansion is located in the most prosperous area of the city, and almost half of Puyang City is owned by the Wei family.
In the Wei family's mansion, Xiao Zhuyin, the second young lady of the Wei family, is about eighteen or nineteen years old. She has an oval face as big as a palm, a sharp chin with a bit of meanness, and a certain beauty in her eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes.
In the inner hall, I was just scolded by the sister who runs the house. She blamed her for not being able to win a man's heart, so that her husband would rather go out and fool around than go home.
Xiao Zhuyin was very unconvinced. Three years after she got married, no one regarded her as the second young mistress. Without the Xiao family's life-saving grace, who would the Wei family be?
I saw someone hurriedly helping the second young master back from the outside. Today, he came back early. He looked at the drunken husband with gloomy eyes. He had never fulfilled half of his responsibilities as a husband, so he only hugged her.
A dead man came to torture her, and the resentment in her heart became even deeper.
The stench emanating from his body hit his face, which made him very uncomfortable. He hurriedly covered his mouth with a brocade handkerchief, "How do you do things? Make the young master so drunk!"
"Back to Young Madam, the Young Master is very happy today and had two more drinks with his friends.
Xiao Zhuyin snorted, happy? How strange! He has never been happy in three years. "What are you doing there? Why don't you send the young master into the room quickly and order the kitchen to prepare some sobering soup!" Lest the lady in charge say she is neglectful.
killed her husband.
Wei Moxuan was carried directly back to the room, Xiao Zhuyin followed him in, and ordered the maid to take off the young master's outer shirt and only wear the middle coat, so that he would be more comfortable.
Xiao Zhuyin covered her mouth and nose with her hands, "You all, go down!"
"yes!"
The maids retreated, leaving the couple alone in the room. They were childhood sweethearts, and they were full of resentment towards him. If they were ruthless, they would not marry him at all costs.
He stretched out his hand and touched his hot forehead, "What's the difference between you being so drunk and a living dead!"
Suddenly, a pair of strong hands grasped her slender wrist, "Take your dirty hands away! Do you think I'm really drunk?"
Pain spread from his wrist, and Xiao Zhuyin's expression was twisted and wrinkled in pain. He was exhausted both physically and mentally. He had already had enough of the days in name only, "Wei Moxuan, who are you? You're just afraid that your Aunt Tiger will tell you when she comes back to her parents' home."
Nonsense. Don’t forget that if my grandfather hadn’t saved your father’s life, how would your Wei family be today?”
Wei Moxuan hated the Xiao family's repayment of kindness the most, "It was you who insisted on marrying into the Wei family. The lives of my wife and children were also lost because of you Xiao Zhuyin. If Xiao Zhuyin marries me, you will be doomed to remain a widow for the rest of your life."
, I will make your life worse than death!"
"Wei Moxuan! If you make me sad, I won't make it easy for you. Even if I die, I will take your Wei family and bury me with you! One day you will kneel on the ground and beg me to save your Wei family."
"I don't want to see you, get out of here!" Wei Moxuan growled.
Xiao Zhuyin slammed the door and left. Not a day went by that the couple did not quarrel.
Xiao Zhuyin stroked his heart and felt a severe blockage. Perhaps he had eaten something bad, or the smell of alcohol on his body was too pungent. The blood was rising all over his body, and his stomach was churning and uncomfortable.
Lan'er saw that Xiao Zhuyin had been covering her mouth and nose with an ugly look on her face, "Second Young Madam, you have been unable to eat for the past few days and your complexion is not very good. Do you need to call the doctor to check your pulse?"
Xiao Zhuyin looked hesitant. She had been feeling a little uncomfortable these past few days. Could it be? Impossible! How could it be possible just once?
"No, no need, I just ate something bad!"
Early the next morning, the faint sound of swords clashing could be heard in the eastern suburbs. There was no news from the people sent by King Zheng to the Wei family and the Xiao family.
With nothing to do, the couple were practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard. Prince Zheng's swordsmanship was sharp, fast, accurate and never lenient, while Yingluo's swordsmanship was flexible and varied, with exquisite moves. The two were a rare complement to each other.
Yingluo withdrew her sword moves. In terms of swordsmanship, Prince Zheng was naturally better than him. "If I stop writing, I will never be able to compare with you."
King Zheng took the long sword in her hand and put it away, comforting him: "There is a difference between men and women. Luo'er is already the leader among women, so why should husband and wife care too much about it."
Yingluo doesn't want to compete with her husband, she just wants to be a good wife who can help him. Although he praised her in front of him yesterday for doing a good job, it was all because of him who was strategizing, and he did a lot of things for her.
It is well understood.
"Yingluo wants to become a woman who can compete with her husband on an equal footing."
It is a good thing to have ambitions, and Si Wushang also believed that Yingluo could do it. He looked at her with deep phoenix eyes and said with determination, "I am looking forward to it! I wonder if our children will be happy and gone by then." He finished speaking in a loud voice.
Laughed.
Seeing that he was laughing unbridled, he was clearly making fun of himself. Fortunately, he still wanted to help him, so he took a pink fist and hit him, and he caught it in his palm. He was teasing her deliberately, otherwise the relationship between husband and wife would not be boring.
The handsome face was very close, "Luo'er, you want to murder your husband!"
Yingluo lowered her head shyly, looking into the distance from the corner of her eyes. Yang Bupo led the stranger towards them and pushed him away hastily.
"Ahem! It's better for us two grown men to keep a distance!"
The person who came was wearing a dark green gown. He looked to be in his forties and had a fat figure.
The eyes of the couple met, and neither the couple knew this person before.
Yang Bupo led the man to the front and reported, "Master, Mr. Wei sent someone to send a message asking him to go to the Wei family's house to talk!"
Yingluo seemed to be thinking, "Mr. Wei?"
The man was the steward of the Wei family's residence. Wei Moxuan personally sent him here to express his warm invitation to them. The steward handed over the greeting card and said, "My young master is the one who drank and painted with Mr. Jun in the restaurant yesterday. Jun
The noble man is busy with things, so please forgive me for the sudden and abrupt invitation!"
This butler is very good at being a good person, "Butler, please don't get me wrong. Since it's Young Master Wei who has made an appointment, Jun Fanluo should go and wait a moment!"
Yang Bupo led people to the front hall, and the couple rushed to the bedroom together. Because they were in another courtyard, although Yingluo was dressed in men's clothes, she did not have a corset. Going to the Wei family mansion like this, she was afraid that someone would be discovered.
She is a woman disguised as a man.
In the bedroom, Si Wushang personally tied up Yingluo's breasts and wrapped her body in layers of white gauze. Even though it was not the middle of summer, it was still very hot, so he deliberately loosened the wrappings for fear of her hard work.
Wrapped in thick gauze, it was difficult to hide Yingluo's graceful figure. Even Yingluo felt that she couldn't hide it, "My lord, it's better to wrap it up tighter. The head of the Wei family is a woman and a shrewd person, so I'm afraid she will recognize her.
"
"Do you remember the breath-taking mantra I taught you? If you feel uncomfortable, practicing that mantra will be of great help."
"Okay! This time we are going to enter the Wei family, and the prince must be careful."
The Wei family mansion has layers of golden glazed tile roofs, cornices, carved railings and jade inlays, all showing luxury and nobility.
The housekeeper led the four people from the front towards the inner hall. Looking at the high gate and deep courtyard, the Wei family had accumulated a lot of wealth, and the luxury of the princes and generals was nothing more than this.
Her eyes fell on the woman in green clothes who was walking gracefully in the distance. She had bright eyes, white teeth, and a hibiscus-pink face. This woman's appearance was very familiar. She was Wei Qinghan, the third young lady of the Wei family, whom she had once rescued.
Wei Qinghan saw a few people from a distance. She naturally recognized the leader and took the initiative to move towards them.
Yingluo felt a little nervous. When she and Zhen'er rescued her that day, they were both dressed in men's clothing. Today, Zhen'er is dressed in women's clothing. Will this arouse her suspicion?
