C172 Persuasion of Ming Wei of the Dark Heart (1)

Wan Rong came back from the outside with a worried look. When she saw Xu Mingwei, she was also startled, with a look of "I have something to say".

"Speak, what happened?" Xu Mingwei said.

Wan Rong went over to her side and whispered, "This servant heard from father that something happened at home."

Xu Mingwei understood then that she was referring to the Xu family, and started to panic, could it be that something happened to Lady Helan?

Wan Rong could immediately tell who she was thinking of when she saw her expression, and quickly replied, "Not Madam."

Xu Mingwei heaved a sigh of relief, and stared at her with dissatisfaction: "Hurry up and say it clearly."

Wan Rong lowered her voice and said, "It's Prefecture Duke Mansion's second young mistress, he's been beaten to coming home."

Xu Mingwei thought for a while before connecting the line. Wan Rong was actually talking about Xu Mingmo. At that time, she was the one who advised her before, to be able to marry the Yang family's concubinage as a noble concubine before the main wife even passed. Such a family that didn't value the main wife, and with Xu Mingmo's personality, sooner or later, something would happen if she married into them. From the moment Xu Mingmo had returned to his room, Xu Mingwei could already tell that her new life in Prefecture Duke Mansion was not what it was supposed to be. The path was chosen by the person herself. She wasn't surprised at all that such an outcome would occur.

In the courtyard, Master Fang and Fu Heng were still playing chess, so Xu Mingwei pulled Wan Rong into the house and let her explain in detail from beginning to end.

So the root of the matter was still that noble concubine. That concubinage of the Yang family entered the house before Xu Mingmo, and went to the same room as the second young master on the day of the concubine ceremony. The Second Department of Prefecture Duke Mansion was also an absurd person. He didn't get to take ointment or even raise her noble concubine, which obviously made her the main culprit.

With Xu Mingmo's personality, she found out within two days after marrying into the Ying Family. After doing it a few times, that noble concubine was also lucky to have dodged it. , on the other hand, had been inside the house for almost a year, and her stomach had not moved at all. The second son of the Ying Family loved his concubine even more, teaching Xu Mingmo how to endure her anger. During the festivals, he had invited the imp from the Goddess to come back and bury him in the concubine courtyard. Within a few days, the child had a fever that made him unconscious. He couldn't even see the Imperial Physician a few times, and died before August.

The Ying Family's second son was so sad that he lost. Xu Mingmo was willing to let go of this opportunity, but he kept on coaxing him for a few days. However, she should never have done so. She didn't prepare the Goddess. She refused to give her the ten taels of silver that she had promised. This caused the Goddess to yell, which was known by many. How could the Second Young Master of the Ying Family not be angry? He whipped her with the snake shaped whip, wanting to kill her. Fortunately, the crowd managed to stop Xu Mingmo in time to save his life.

With such an incident, the Ying Family's Second Branch naturally couldn't tolerate her. She was still worried that she was the granddaughter of an elder of the pavilion, so she sent someone back to the Xu Family during the middle of autumn without saying when she would be back to pick them up. Because they were in the wrong, the fourth wife of the Xu family did not dare to urge the Ying Family to bring her back. With the reputation of plotting to murder his son with a voodoo Gu, even if it was the granddaughter of a current elder, no proper family would dare to take it.

Even though such a huge matter had occurred, Xu Mingwei was completely unaware of it. Other than the Lady Helan, she did not want to bother her with such a filthy thing. She herself was tired of teaching people how to live a peaceful life and she did not even know what was happening outside. At this rate, would she be able to see or hear anything? Xu Mingwei was alarmed, and started to think about her daily activities.

Wan Rong saw that she was silent for a long time, and was feeling apprehensive. Suddenly, she heard Xu Mingwei say, "When you get back, ask Tie Tou to go to the Manor and upload a few words to ask him for his opinion. If she is willing, she can go to my rouge shop to listen to the accounts. As for her shop, it's not easy to set up that shop. If you're willing to follow her, you can make the arrangements when there's a suitable store in the future. "

Although the rouge shop was hers, the person used was still the old man that her mother, Lady Helan, originally gave to her. Not mentioning who she was loyal to, when she was in the inner chamber, the shopkeeper had only looked into her shop once every three months, and could not even tell what kind of person she was. After weighing the pros and cons, it was good that Qing Yang was placed there. She could see all the big and small things in the store, but it wouldn't affect the original operations of the shop. She could also help keep an eye on the news in the capital.

Wan Rong nodded her head and replied, "Then I'll go find Tie Tou first. If Grandmother has any other orders, I'll just follow them closely with Wan Rou."

Xu Mingwei said, "Go, I understand."

When Wan Rong went to sleep, she got a bit tired, so she impatiently went to bed and laid down on the soft couch to rest. She was not deep in her sleep and was vaguely aware that she was half awake right now. As a result, when she saw Xu Minglan coming over with her hands on her stomach, she sighed in her heart.

"It's been a long time since little sister has come, but big sister has come to bid you farewell." All of these things that have happened in the past, I only hope that you don't take it to heart. Xu Minglan smiled warmly. His face was covered by the light muslin and could not be seen clearly.

Xu Mingwei was anxious in her heart. Only those who had passed away could have such an elephant, so she wanted to step forward and grab the hem of her clothes, but she couldn't.

"Sister, where are you going?"

Xu Minglan suddenly turned her head, the stomach under her hands was slowly splitting open, the white skirt had instantly dyed a dazzling red. However, she did not seem to notice at all as she gently said, "Do not ask about the past and don't worry about the future. Let's part ways here."

"Sister Lan!" Xu Mingwei woke up in shock, Wan Rou, who was waiting outside, heard her and immediately came in. She wiped the cold sweat off her forehead with the handkerchief and said in shock, "Grandmother, are you dreaming? "What do you see? Why are you sweating so much?"

Master Fang and Fu Heng also heard her cries, but they did not hear what she said clearly. At this time, they came in, and when they saw Xu Mingwei's pale white face that was filled with shock, they were shocked.

"It's all just a dream. Everything will be fine once I wake up." The Master Fang squeezed onto the couch and gently hugged her shoulders as he shouted.

Fu Heng comforted her as well, "It was just a dream. I'll take some pearl powder later to calm myself."

Now that Xu Mingwei had sat up, she could still clearly remember Xu Minglan's words in her dreams, even the abnormal sign of her stomach. Could it be that the heavens were really reminding her that Xu Minglan's birth was dangerous? Calculating the date, Xu Minglan and Xu Mingmei's production time was almost up. Xu Mingwei would rather believe it to be true than not, so she decided to pay Xu Minglan a visit tomorrow.

"What did you dream just now?" So scared? " Seeing her calm expression, Master Fang asked gently.

Xu Mingwei said, "Just now, I vaguely saw the words of the Fifth Sister, the dream elephant was not good, and my heart was beating erratically. I plan to let Mother know in the evening that I will be able to make a trip to Fifth Sister's home tomorrow so that I can rest my mind at ease. "

Fu Heng heard and said, "Your Fifth Sister is already so old, you should come and take a look. "You don't have to tell me this. I'll find a reason to tell you in the evening. Tomorrow morning, I'll accompany you to the Pei household."

With him speaking and accompanying her out the door, it was unlikely that Lady Wang would stop him. Xu Mingwei then smiled gratefully at him, and then said to Master Fang, "I hope Fifth Sister is alright, I was overthinking it."

The Master Fang said, "One day, one night, one day, one night. You don't have to be too serious, right or wrong, you'll know when you see it with your own eyes tomorrow. "

Hearing them speak like that, Xu Mingwei gradually calmed down. Maybe it was because the people from the fourth wife had heard of Wan Rong's words that caused her to have such a secretive thought. When she was young in the middle of June, she was already worried that Xu Minglan's stomach was too big, and that it had fallen into her heart.

When it was time to pay respects, Fu Heng stayed behind. He did not know how he explained it to Lady Wang, but when he returned, he told Xu Mingwei that it was confirmed. He even asked the Nanny Xue to prepare a birthday present, and told them to bring it to the Pei household tomorrow. Xu Mingwei heaved a sigh of relief in her heart, but it was a good night's sleep. The next morning, Fu Heng woke up and dressed himself up. He then brought along Old Lai's family and arrived at the Pei household in the middle of the day. After teaching the gatekeepers some things, he quickly sent people inside to inform them of the news and led Fu Heng and the rest to the main hall.

When Xu Minglan heard that she had come, he was both surprised and happy. She immediately sent her off, supporting herself as she walked towards her guest. Coincidentally, they met Pei Fangtong on the porch. The couple looked at each other, not knowing why the brother-in-law suddenly came to visit.

"What kind of wind is this today that has brought you here?" "I didn't hear a sound earlier either. When the girls came to report, I thought I heard it myself." When Xu Minglan came in from outside, his eyes landed on Fu Heng who was standing behind Xu Mingwei, the disappointment in his eyes could be seen, but she quickly recovered and laughed.

Pei Fangtong was ecstatic, and laughed: "The weather was hot a few days ago, and there was a torrent of rain afterwards, so I did not invite you. Just as he was thinking that the weather would get better in a few days, he invited Brother Yan Zhen to go up to the Xiangshan Mountains to see the red leaves. "I didn't expect you to be here so early."

Fu Heng laughed, "Today is actually the day that my wife comes to visit elder sister. How about we go to the study room and keep the two sisters here to talk, so they won't feel uncomfortable?"

Pei Fangtong agreed, "If that's the case, then I'll have to trouble Brother Yan Zhen to move. I got a book a few days ago and was in pain because no one said anything. "

At that moment, the two of them went to the study room, leaving the two sisters of the Xu family there to wait upon a few close girls.
