When Cai Yong saw Ma Yun, he suddenly thought of Liu Xin and remembered that he had persuaded him to withdraw from the Wei family marriage a few months ago. What was unexpected was that Zhang Ji could even diagnose Wei Zhongdao
She was unable to have children, and said that the inability to have children could be caused by men. This kind of talk is simply unheard of. However, these things were told to Zhang Ji by Liu Xin. Could it be that Liu Xin also knows medical skills? Is there something fishy in this?
In his heart, Cai Yong was unwilling to admit that Zhang Ji's diagnosis was correct. At this time, he was like a drowning man who suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw. He quickly pointed the finger at Liu Xin. Yes, it must be
It's him! Some time ago, Bei Yu and Cai Yong also knew clearly about Su Dai's rebellion. Liu Xin used a lot of power to investigate the details of Su Jian and the sisters, and set a trap to trap them.
Catch them all in one go.
Liu Xin is a herdsman in Jingzhou, and he must have more eyes and ears in Xiangyang City. Wei Zhongdao's coming to Xiangyang must not have escaped his eyes. He must also know about Wei Zhongdao's illness. So could he be the one who set it up this time?
A trick? Zhang Ji was originally a prefect under Liu Xin. If Liu Xin made any request, wouldn't Zhang Ji agree?
The more Cai Yong thought about it, the more he realized that his analysis was reasonable. Liu Xin's conspiracy was to prevent his daughter from marrying into the Wei family. He was plotting against Yan'er! At this time, Cai Yong had already put aside his past favorable impression of Liu Xin.
Beyond Jiuxiaoyun, Liu Xin loved the people like a son, and his outstanding talents were all disguises. Even Zhang Ji seemed to be a hypocrite in his eyes.
Cai Yong refused to stay in the academy anymore and hurried back home because the carriage had been lent to Wei Zhongdao.
Mrs. Cai saw Cai Yong who was sweating profusely and asked strangely: "Master, don't you have to teach today? Why are you sweating all over?"
Cai Yong said anxiously: "I left in a hurry just now. You hurry up and pack your things. We are going back to Luoyang."
When she heard that she was going back to Luoyang, Mrs. Cai was not happy. During the more than half a year in Xiangyang, except for some minor unhappiness regarding her daughter's marriage to the Wei family, Mrs. Cai felt very happy in other aspects and she had completely adapted to it.
Their new home was about to be built, and Mrs. Cai even visited it several times. The new mansion was not very big, but it was exquisitely designed, especially the garden, with its small bridges, flowing water, and rockeries.
The pavilion was fully equipped, which made her very satisfied.
More importantly, Mrs. Cai felt that her husband was very tired living in Luoyang. He was not as respected as he was in Xiangyang, and Mr. Liu, the state pastor, took good care of their family. Thinking of this, Mrs. Cai's face darkened.
He came down and said, "Sir, wouldn't it be nice to go back to Luoyang in a safe and sound manner?"
Cai Yong sighed and said, "Oh, it's hard to put it into words. I'm not doing this all for Yan'er's sake."
After Mrs. Cai heard Cai Yong tell what happened, especially when Cai Yong told his guess, she suddenly became angry and said angrily: "Master, are you crazy? Lian Zhang
I also doubt what the gentleman said! No, no, Yan'er must not marry Wei Zhongdao, and Yan'er cannot be pushed into the pit of fire."
Cai Yong said without doubt: "I am the master of this family, and I have the final say in everything."
Worried that Liu Xin would stop him, Cai Yong did not mention his return to Luoyang in front of outsiders. He only discussed the itinerary with Wei Zhongdao. Because Cai Yong could only go with the Wei family's caravan, after all, the Yellow Turbans had just been wiped out, and there were many people on the road.
It was not yet completely peaceful. Although Cai Yong had decided to leave Xiangyang and return to the capital, he had secretly kept a secret in mind and did not immediately agree to Wei Zhongdao's request to perform the Najina Zheng ceremony. He just said that everything would be discussed after returning to Luoyang.
Since the Wei family's caravan still had some business to discuss in Xiangyang, Cai Yong tried his best to look normal and went to the academy to teach as usual.
In the blink of an eye, two days later, it was already the day Liu Xin and Zhang Ning agreed to get married. Zhang Ning had already bathed and changed into a set of bright red wedding clothes, attended by the maids. The new house was located in the Prefecture Mufu.
, because Ju Shou, Tian Feng and the others had all moved out, many courtyards were vacant in the Prefectural Mufu Mansion. Liu Xin made it very clear to her that this wedding should not be publicized, so there could not be a sedan chair, but she still got one
A red hijab was placed on her head. Seeing Zhang Ning wearing a red hijab, even Bian Yu was jealous. She had never received such treatment.
As night gradually fell, Zhang Ning sat by the bed, feeling uneasy. Although she was mentally prepared to sacrifice her body when she came to find Liu Xin, she regretted it when it happened. Zhang Ning touched it and put it on the bed.
The sword beside him reminded him of the tragic scene of his father being cut into the coffin and stabbing his body. He sighed in his heart and hung his head helplessly.
With a "squeak" sound, the door opened and closed, and a burst of footsteps came over. Zhang Ning's heart couldn't help but tighten. He was here. The person who came seemed to be hesitant, walking very slowly, and took a few steps.
It stopped and no more movement was heard. After a long time, he heard a sigh of "Alas". Zhang Ning's heart suddenly tightened. It didn't sound like Liu Xin's voice, but it was still vaguely familiar.
I just heard the man say: "Girl, although tonight is not my original intention, I have to obey my brother's orders. I will sit at this table tonight and will never offend the girl. Don't worry, girl."
Sleep alone.”
Zhang Ning was going crazy. This voice had been deeply buried in her memory, but she didn't expect it to suddenly appear here. She couldn't remember how many times she had met the owner of this voice in her dreams. Could it be that in front of her?
Is this the person who has been haunting her for more than a year?
After the man said this, there was no more movement. Zhang Ning was embarrassed to raise his hijab, but he was already convinced that this person was definitely not Liu Xin. The bridal chamber fell silent for a while, and Zhang Ning was at a loss when he suddenly bumped into someone hanging on the tent.
The sword on the hook was a plan. She fumbled and took the sword into her hand, and pulled it out with a "swipe". The room was lit with lights, the sword was unsheathed, and there was a flash of light.
The man asked in surprise: "Where did this sword come from, girl?"
Zhang Ning said softly: "This sword was given to me by a heartless man."
As soon as Zhang Ning finished speaking, she heard the sound of the man's footsteps, moving towards the bed. She could already feel the man standing in front of her, and when she lowered her head, she could see his bright red dress. Her heart couldn't help but
It started jumping "bang bang" randomly, and I didn't know whether it was because I liked it or was worried about it. I had mixed emotions for a while.
At this moment, Zhang Ning felt that his red hijab seemed to be shaking. After a long time, there was no movement again. Zhang Ning almost wanted to reach out and lift the treacherous hijab. The person who came seemed to have rained heavily. Finally, Zhang Ning felt her eyes light up, and the red hijab had been lifted up by the man. She raised her head and looked over, and the two of them exclaimed: "It's you!"
The visitor was none other than Xu Huang. He had received a message from Liu Xin the day before yesterday, instructing him to rush back to Xiangyang overnight to discuss important matters. Xu Huang did not dare to neglect, explained the affairs of the county, and took a few people with him. The soldiers hurriedly set out on the road.
When Liu Xin saw Xu Huang, she said before he could take a breath: "Gongming, I have something to say to you, brother."
Xu Huang felt confused and said: "Brother treats me with love and justice, why do you say this?"
Liu Xin said with an apologetic look: "Jun Yi got married last month. I heard that the Wang family originally planned to betroth this bride to you, but I messed up the rules and married Jun Yi. You don't blame me. "
Xu Huang said with a confused look on his face: "Didn't my eldest brother make this up to deceive Bei Yu and Su Dai? Why do you still take it seriously?"
Liu Xin shook her head and said: "This is true, I just made use of it. Now that I have arranged a marriage for you, it will make up for my fault."
Xu Huang hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Brother, you must not do this. Junyi is also my brother, not to mention I really know nothing about the Wang family. Even for them, I will not agree. Brother, there is no need for this. Worry about everything."
Liu Xin said disapprovingly: "It's time for the male to get married, and the female to get married. The girls have already agreed, and the bride has been taken to my house, and is just waiting for you to have a wedding night. You can't keep them waiting. If you don’t agree, you won’t have me as a big brother in the future.”
Xu Huang was forced into the bridal chamber. He never dreamed that the bride turned out to be Zhang Ning. These two people now respect and hate Liu Xin, but they refused to talk about such a big thing. However, they lingered all night. It goes without saying.
Cai Yong and Liu Xin both lived in the Prefectural Mufu. Although Liu Xin arranged the marriage for Xu Huang in secret, the bright red words of joy, the bright red lanterns, and the bright red candles in the bridal chamber could not hide it from the Cai family. Yong's impression of Liu Xin was even worse. This person did one thing to his face and another behind his back. Within a year after coming to Jingzhou, he took in two concubines one after another. Now he didn't know who he wanted to marry. He was originally a lustful person, but he wanted to frame Wei Zhongdao for his indulgence in lust.
Cai Yong knew his daughter's beauty and was worried that she would fall into Liu Xin's clutches, so he was even more eager to leave Xiangyang. It happened that the affairs of the Wei family's caravan in Xiangyang were basically over, and Wei Zhongdao came to Cai Yong to discuss the itinerary. Yong naturally hopes that the sooner the better.
In the early morning of the second day after Xu Huang got married, Cai Yong called all the family members together. During this period, Cai Yan had been under house arrest in the boudoir. I knew what happened, but my father urged me to pack my luggage quickly.
In order to leave Xiangyang smoothly, Cai Yong didn't even want the books he regarded as his life. He only took some belongings with him and set out on the road. The Cai family now has many servants. Some of these people were originally servants of noble families, and some were wealthy families. The lady of this family had suffered a lot in prison some time ago and finally escaped from the misery. She was very obedient to her master's words and did not dare to say anything wrong. Cai Yong ordered them all to stay at home and wait until dawn. Only then did Xu tell Liu Xin the news of his departure, but none of them dared to go against Cai Yong's wishes.
Mrs. Cai and her daughter sat in the luxurious carriage presented by Liu Xin, while Cai Yong and Wei Zhongdao rode in the same carriage. They left the Prefectural Mufu and hurried toward Luoyang. Wei Zhongdao stayed in Xiangyang for a few days, and every day
After taking the medicine on time and not daring to go out to the fireworks place, he felt much better. He could not even hear the coughing along the way. Cai Yong believed in his own judgment more and more and felt how wise his decision was.
Cai Yong was worried that Liu Xin would send someone to chase him, so he discussed with Wei Zhongdao and decided that the team would not enter Wancheng and take a detour. In this way, Liu Xin would not discover their whereabouts. Cai Yong was secretly proud when a sudden shout came from behind him.
