“Xu! Wen! Note!”

As soon as Mrs. Mi walked to the corridor outside the study, she heard that Wu Xian was suppressed and lost control. She growled lowly, and her son, who was holding her hand beside her, shrank in fear and grabbed her sleeves and refused to move forward, with timidity flashing in his eyes. Mrs. Mizuo gently stroked the back of his head, trying to calm her son's mood. Mother and son were waiting for the summons in the corridor. After a while, the door of the study room quietly opened.

The person coming is Wu Xian’s personal guard.

The latter gently reminded her that Wu Xian was not in a good mood at the moment, and she must not get into trouble. Mrs. Mi Zi nodded slightly and thanked her in a low voice. Wu Xian in the study realized that the two were approaching and calmed down his momentum, but the atmosphere was still suffocating.

"Father!"

Mrs. Mi Side saluted Wu Xianfu.

Compared with her restraint, her son is much more lively. The child looked at Wu Xian with pure admiration in his eyes, and asked abruptly: "My mother said that my son is one year older today. Father, do you think my son is taller than yesterday?"

The gloom on Wu Xian's face disappeared by three points.

He stroked the top of his son's hair and said, "It's indeed a bit high."

Mrs. Mi Zi stood on one side and observed carefully, seemingly helpless: "This child is still thinking about the promise made by Master Lang the day before yesterday. Today, he started making trouble before dawn. I am so entangled by him that I can't help myself."

Wu Xian’s face was expressionless: “It’s okay.”

Mrs. Mi Zi was afraid of stepping on the thunder, so after sitting for a while, she used making longevity noodles for her son as an excuse to leave. Unexpectedly, Wu Xian also got up. Seeing her timid and flattered look, Wu Xianyi pointed out: "Some things are done, and there is no point in being angry."

This matter is obviously related to the "Xu Wenzhu".

Mrs. Mi Side has some connection with Xu Jie.

Before she entered Wu Xian's backyard, she was a dancer.

Wu Xian bought her at a high price and temporarily placed her in Xu Jie's house. He also used her innocent identity as a "distant relative of the Xu family" as a fig leaf, and then picked her up after settling in. Because of this, she has received filial piety from Xu during the holidays these years. Although she didn't dare to get too close to Mrs. Xu, she still accepted Mrs. Xu's kindness and would occasionally help and say nice things.

Obviously, she is close to Mr. Xu.

When something happened to Xu this time, she couldn't remain indifferent.

"Xu family..."

She hesitated to speak.

"Xu Wenzhu led the Xu family to completely defect to Shen Youli, and they don't even have to pretend anymore." This news has spread all over the world. It is not a secret. Everyone who is well-informed knows that Wu Xian was roasted on the fire. , "My husband is agitated now, and there is no one we can discuss with."

Mrs. Mi Zi's heart was pounding but she didn't dare to make any move.

Of course she knows that Wu Xian is not saying this to discuss with her, she just needs to be a fool and listen. This choice is correct, Wu Xian continued: "There are constant voices from various families, and some people even propose to send troops to attack Heyin now."

Mrs. Mi Side does not understand: "Can't attack?"
< br>

Wu Xian smiled bitterly: "Of course you can't fight. As the folk saying goes, beating a dog depends on its owner. Xu Wenzhu is now under Shen Youli's account. He sends troops to attack Heyin to start a war with Shen Youli. Sooner or later, the two families will We have to fight, but not now.”

If the fight starts now, Wu Xian will definitely lose.

Shen Youli probably wanted him to take action first.

Mrs. Mi Fang was puzzled.

“Don’t Mr. Shen treat Master Lang as his brother?”

As soon as she finished speaking, it was inappropriate for her to react first.

Wu Xian has fought with his brothers. When brothers fight for family property, they never care about brotherhood, not to mention that Wu Xian and Shen Tang only have a deep love for each other stamped by the outside world. Her question may be harsh to the ears of more sensitive people.

Fortunately, Wu Xian didn’t pursue his feelings for her.

His current grievances are all directed at the Tianhai family and Xu Jie who joins him - as the lord, everything in the country theoretically belongs to him, so he doesn't care much about the location of the royal capital, but Tianhai Not good for aristocratic families. They argued hard to locate the royal capital in Tianhai, but because of He Yin, this proposal was destined to fail. Whose king is close to the border of a neighboring country?

Wu Xian was so noisy that his ears started to ring.

Unfavorable news happened one after another.

“…It’s not quiet at all these days!”

Mrs. Mi Zi’s eyes showed admiration for Wu Xian, and just the right amount of ignorance: “…Lang Didn’t the Lord say a while ago that as long as Shangnan is in hand, He Yin has nothing to fear?”

Wu Xian can laugh until now, so he is certainly not an ignorant person.

He led his troops to intimidate Yiru and then returned to Tianhai, instead of sending troops to attack Heyin. The reason was simple - first, the Tianhai family was restless and his home base was unstable, so the rear area had higher priority than He Yin; secondly, he and his staff were too optimistic about Shang Nan, thinking that if Shang Nan was obtained, He Yin would naturally be in the bag, and there was no need to go there specifically to intimidate him.

The result was a mixed bag.

"Shen Youli sent someone to pick up Gu Ren's family early in the morning."

When mentioning this matter, Wu Xian was still angry, and Shen Youli hid it very well. That's great - Gu Ren's relatives are all in her hands, and she still pretends that Gu Ren's inheritance should be inherited by his son. Even Wu Xian must be hypocritical.

"Isn't this kidnapping the orphans, widows, old and weak, and taking away people's wealth?" Shen Youli can use Gu Ren's relatives as a banner, and Wu Xian can do the same.

Wu Xian sighed: "Husband, why haven't you thought about it?"

When he first received the news, someone started talking to him, starting with public opinion, publicly questioning Shen Youli, and nailing her to the pillar of shame of a hypocrite who deceived the world and stole her reputation. As long as her name of kindness is destroyed, she can be promoted as a teacher of justice in the future.

After all calculations, I didn’t expect——

“Gu Ren still has a brother alive!” He slammed the table in anger.

Mrs. Mizuo exclaimed: "Is there anyone alive?"

Even though she was in the inner courtyard, she heard the news that the thirteen brothers Gu Ren were killed in battle. It was said that the battle was so intense In the dark, there is no light from the sun and the moon. It was so tragic that not even a few bodies could be found...

Gu Ren and his sworn brothers died together.

There’s no reason why people are still living an ignoble existence.

Wu Xian also felt outrageous: "There is more than one alive!"

The ones who came back were Chao Lian and Chao Qingzhi, who were ranked twelfth. According to the information sent back by the spies, Chao Lian and the two surviving brothers were rescued in the Central Continent thousands of miles away. He buried his brother's bones, recovered from his injuries, and set off back to the northwest continent.

During his lifetime, Gu Ren praised his twelve sworn brothers more than once, each of them having both talents and political integrity. He also said that his descendants were mediocre in temperament and were not enough to stand up in the family. If he leaves first one day, the family property can be taken over by his brothers, as long as they care about brotherhood and take care of his descendants. To be honest, which sworn brother can hold himself back from bursting into tears after hearing this?

In other words, Chao Lian has the natural right to inherit.

What’s even more outrageous is that Gu Ren’s wife, children and even his father-in-law approve of it!

Chao Lian came back and heard that Shen Youli was protecting his adopted brother's orphans and widowers. He was moved to tears and had no objection to Shen Tang sending troops to take over Shangnan. The outside world wants to criticize Shen Tang for bullying orphans and widowed mothers, but it doesn't work! The heir has no objections, and neither does the orphan or widower. How can it be Wu Xian's turn to have any objections?

Mrs. Mi Side was dumbfounded by this. Gu Ren and his sworn brothers are really the cleanest among warlords! The things that the secular powerful are eager to give in to when asked, and give up when asked, making others look like fools. No wonder, Wu Xian doesn't even want to mention Shangnan these days.

She swallowed her inner words silently.

Wu Xian was unable to have a seizure even though Shen Tang put him through several tricks, but it didn't mean that he couldn't send messages and ask questions. Especially in the case of Xu Jie, Shen Tang's behavior can be regarded as an obvious robbery.

If Wu Xian doesn't express his position, he may not be able to convince the public.

Sibao County, the administrative office, Xiaocheng.

The dusty young warrior raised his head and sighed with emotion as he looked at the city wall with almost no traces of war. The last time I came to Xiaocheng was five or six years ago. Time has changed, things have changed and people have changed. He sighed in place for a long time and regained his composure.

Entering the city, a handwritten letter was revealed.

The guard saw the payment and immediately let him go. The young man cupped his fists to say thank you, and first went to the Xiaocheng official office to inquire about the whereabouts of his sworn brother's family.

The young warrior is Chao Lian.

He left Linzhai in Lingzhou to meet with Shen Tang, had a sincere talk, then went to the south, and finally set foot in Sibao County.

When I went to Shangnan, I naturally took the initiative to solve Shen Tang's troubles.

Yes, Chao Lian took the initiative.

Not only Wu Xian, but also Shen Tang found this outrageous.

When she learned about Chao Lian's whereabouts, she was a little worried that he would become a variable - Gu Ren's family were all old, weak, women and children. Even if Shangnan and Shangnan's remaining old troops were given to them, they would not be able to make a splash. , but Chao Lian is different, he is a brave warrior.

The old Shangnan Ministry is definitely willing to listen to Chao Lian's transfer.

If he asked to go south, Shen Tang would be riding a tiger and unable to get off. Just when he was worried about how to fool him, Chao Lian unexpectedly caught him off guard with a backhand. People don't think at all that she took Gu Ren's relatives to occupy Shangnan, and it's not too late to thank her!

Shen Tang: [...]

She looked warily at Chao Lian, whose face was full of sincerity.

The prepared drafts were not used.

Seeing her like this, Chao Lian said with relief: [Shen Jun, don’t worry, everything Chao said today came from the bottom of his heart and there were no lies. In fact, the brothers themselves have no ambitions. Especially the eldest brother, all he wants in this life is to gain a foothold. Now out of thirteen brothers, only me, Sixth Brother and Thirteen are left. It’s okay if we can defend Shangnan. But if we can’t, won’t we harm my sister-in-law and the others? 】

The situation in Shangnan is over. Even if he insists on asking for Shangnan regardless of the safety of his sister-in-law and nephews, he cannot sit back and watch his eldest brother's life-long efforts become a battlefield between Shen Jun and Wu Xian. It would be better to settle for the next best thing and choose one of them to preserve Gu Ren's flesh and blood. This is the best situation Chao Lian can think of at the moment. He thinks clearly and naturally accepts it calmly.

[Qingzhi’s words actually made me ashamed. 】

Since Chao Lian chose Shen Tang to entrust Gu Ren's family, he naturally had to be united with her and take the initiative to solve the public opinion crisis for her, and also cut off Wu Xian's opportunity to raise accusations. After finishing all this, he couldn't wait to rush to Xiaocheng to see his sister-in-law.

Due to the special status of Gu Ren's relatives, Qishan sent soldiers and horses to patrol day and night to prevent unfriendly prying eyes from the outside world. In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Chao Lian still went through the process.

The mansion and the government office are next to each other on the same street.

He stood outside the door and lingered for a long time, not daring to go in, and he didn't know how to explain to his sister-in-law and the others that he was still alive.

Until someone called him with a slight hesitation: "Uncle Chao?"

Chao Lian seemed to have been tapped on an acupoint and rooted to the spot.

The visitor stepped forward to confirm and was ecstatic: "It's really Uncle Chao!"

Chao Lian stiffly turned his head, and a familiar face came into view. The young man in front of him is the eldest son of Gu Ren and his first wife. As an ordinary person, the latter is not short, but in front of the brave warrior, he is a bit dainty: "Big nephew."

Although the two are uncle and nephew, they are only a few years apart in age.

Hearing the response from his "eldest nephew", the young man confirmed Chao Lian's identity and couldn't wait to bring him into the house: "I just thought it was because of my eyesight, but I didn't expect it was really Uncle Chao. A few days ago, the prayer book said that Uncle Chao He’s still alive, I still don’t believe it.”

He couldn’t wait to shout as he entered the house.

"Auntie, look who's back!" Gu Ren had three wives and gave birth to a total of three sons and two daughters. When Qi Shan sent people to pick him up, he took them all away. The eldest son also found a job in the government office. "It's Uncle Chao. Uncle Chao is back!"

Everyone who heard the news rushed away. come over.

Chao Lian saw his sister-in-law, who seemed to be ten years old, and suddenly knelt down to plead guilty. The movement was so loud that the stone slab cracked: "Sister-in-law, you are so incompetent that you failed to bring back your eldest brother."< br>


The young woman's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she hurriedly asked her eldest son to help Chao Lian up, and said, "Uncle, what are you talking about? You can come back alive, and I am happy that Ziyi is alive in heaven..."

Chao Lian raised his hand to wipe away his tears randomly.

Seeing that he was so exhausted, the young woman hurriedly asked the servant girl to go down and prepare to take care of him. Taking advantage of this time, Chao Lian took a look at Gu Ren's children and made sure that they were all well before he felt relieved: "Sister-in-law, I still have something to do..."

This matter is naturally related to Nan.

Although Gu Ren said that his family business could be inherited by several adoptive brothers, in Chao Lian's heart, it was just right for his eldest brother and his children to change their names. I made a decision without their permission, so I naturally have to apologize to others. The young woman was not surprised after hearing this.

She said with relief: "The news of Ziyi's death reached Shangnan, and my father discussed the matter with me."

When her husband died, the pillars collapsed.

Orphans and widowed mothers have no force to protect themselves. In troubled times, they are just lambs waiting to be slaughtered. The only thing they can do is to exchange the relatively weighty chips in their hands for a place to live. So when Qishan sent someone to contact him secretly, they decided to join Shen Tang's camp.

The young woman looked ashamed, saluted to Chao Lian, and said, "I should apologize to my brother-in-law for this matter."

In order to protect herself and her children , she gave up the family business that her husband and his brothers had worked hard for for more than ten years before his death, and she blamed herself in her heart. Her brother-in-law didn't blame her, which already made her feel ashamed. She didn't expect that he would apologize to her in turn, and she deserved it.

"Auntie, stop talking. If you really want to blame it, you should blame your son!" Seeing this situation, Gu Ren's eldest son simply took all the blame on himself. As his father's only adult eldest son, if he had the talent for cultivation, he could It's not like he can't support the portal. The current situation is also related to his incompetence.

The three of them couldn't stop arguing, and felt sad again.

Until Chao Lian said he would stay and take care of the family.

Although the young woman is moved, she also knows that she cannot. They cannot bind Chao Lian with kindness: "Everything is safe in the house."

Chao Lian is worried: "But..."


The young woman said: "For Ziyi's sake, Mr. Shen will also treat everyone in the family well. In addition, your niece and nephew are quite talented, and they will be able to stand up in the family in a few years."

Although the eldest son is He has no talent, but his younger son and daughter do.

This is also the future hope of the house.

There was no sign of it yesterday. When I woke up from a nap in the afternoon, my wrist started to hurt again. I kept accidentally touching it when I was typing at night, which made me nervous.
