Chapter 144: The Sacrifice of the Shen Family
Wanxin had already felt the strong hatred from Liu. This time she did not ignore the hatred as usual. Instead, she raised her head and met Liu's gaze. Liu never expected that Chen Wanxin would start confronting her. Moreover, there was no trace of fear in her eyes, but instead was full of provocative expressions.
At this time, Liu felt a strong sense of helplessness in his life. No one could help her. Now even her mistress position was taken back by Mr. Shen. Xie Liu, who could be a military advisor for her, is now bedridden, and it is probably not enough for a few days. The Xie family has fallen into the hands of Binger, a concubine who came to Chen Mansion with Xie Liu. Could it be that Xie Liu's illness is also inseparable from Chen Wanxin? Liu suddenly felt a panic. If this matter was true, then Chen Wanxin would be too terrible. It seems that she was too small before, this country girl, and now she must kill her.
A few days will be the day for sacrifices of the ancestors of the Shen family. At that time, every Shen family will take turns to pray for the ancestors of the Shen family in the ancestral hall and recite scriptures. A thought in Liu's mind has already taken shape. Her eyes swept across Chen Wanxin's face and left without going back.
However, the second and third rooms stayed and whispered, and were quite dissatisfied with the quarter of the property that Mr. Shen gave him. The second uncle Chen signaled Chen Congjie with his eyes and told him that Chen Wanxin was still there. Chen Congjie stopped his voice and left muttered.
The second uncle Chen came to Wanxin and said sorry, "Wanxin, what the second uncle and third uncle said just now has nothing to do with you, but you know..." Chen Zhengye has always been a sleek and experienced person. It can be said that Chen Wanqi's personality is a copy of Chen Zhengye. Not only should he achieve his own goals, but he will also never offend anyone. If Wanxin does not live for a lifetime, he will also be deceived by the character of the good man on Chen Zhengye's surface. Little do they know that the seemingly harmless people are often wolves in sheep's clothing. But after the wolf is well trained, it can help him catch his prey and bite him hard. Of course, if he is not careful, he will be mistakenly eaten by this evil wolf.
"Second uncle, I am only a younger generation. I have never been qualified to participate in my father's affairs." Chen Wanxin answered in a humble and arrogant manner. She did not have any say in the Shen family and was suppressed by the Liu family. Until Chen Qiang returned to the Chen Mansion, the situation was much better.
"Look at you, don't scare the child." The second aunt Jiang blamed Chen for not saying this to Wan Xin.
Wan Xin looked at the pair of jackals without saying a word, seeing when they maintained the image of a good old man. At this time, Chen Chengye also felt that Wan Xin was very different from before, no longer the fool who was bullied by others. Although Chen Wan Xin didn't say anything, her eyes no longer looked like an ignorant girl, but had seen too many things in the world.
"Second uncle, second aunt, don't say that. I understand that it is not easy for second uncle. After all, we are all a family, but harmony is the most important thing." Chen Wanxin said a few words and said goodbye to Chen Zhongye.
Chen Congye looked at Chen Wanxin's back and said quietly, "Why do I think this child has become so difficult?"
On the contrary, Jiang spat fiercely, "What's the point? There is no simple matter in their family. They obviously don't know how to teach their children or manage their families, but now they simply get rid of the position of mistress? Let me tell you, this matter is not that easy to finish. If you don't work, you will split up your family. Peace is the most important thing? Bah."
"Speak softly, let the elder brother listen to it, it's not bad." Chen Congye hurriedly checked around, fearing that someone would listen to Jiang's words just now.
Jiang didn't care at all, "Just listen, what's the point of being afraid of? At worst, we can separate the family. If we separate the family, we will not be so restrictive. We can also find a good husband's family for Wanqi. Look, Wanqi is going to be in trouble now. Don't implicate Wanqi with this shame."
"Isn't this an important reason why this matter is put aside for the time being? If I hadn't been concerned about Wanqi's future, I would have cared about Chen Rufei's affairs and would have let anyone know?" Although Chen Congye had many dissatisfaction with Mr. Shen, he still buried some resentment in his heart when he took into account the overall situation.
"In a few days it will be the day of the Shen family's sacrifice. I don't know if Liu is going to have any trouble. I don't think she was looking at Wanxin just now." Jiang no longer had the anger he had before, remembered another thing, and whispered to his husband.
Chen Congye helped Jiang out of the front hall and said as he walked, "What are you afraid of? The more they make a fuss in their house, the more beneficial it will be to us. Don't talk about Chen Wanxin, she is not a simple character, just afraid that Liu will not get any benefits from her, but will instead put herself in. If this is the case, it will be lively."
The two of them quietly discussed the matter of the family being born. Just now, their concern for Wan Xin was no longer there, and they were left with the urgency of not wanting to be in chaos in the Shen family, so they were in a state of separation.
In the past few days, Chen Wanxin has become familiar with the communication methods of the carrier pigeons, and the carrier pigeons sent by Liu Fanchen are also particularly smart and smart. In a few days, they become familiar with Chen Wanxin and will stay in her hands and eat.
Ri Chenqiang came back and saw this scene. Chen Wanxin sat under the eaves, and a fat dove fell on the palm of her hand and looked at her.
"Where did the pigeons come from?"
Wan Xin was overjoyed when he heard the voice, his hands shook, and the dove spread its wings and flew high, "Brother, you are back, sister-in-law, come quickly, brother is back."
Xue Lanfeng heard Wan Xin's voice and hurried out and saw Chen Qiang's figure in surprise. A man and a woman were so excited that they couldn't speak because they met for a long time. They looked at each other in place. Wan Xin couldn't help laughing, "Look at you, is it because I'm here? I'll avoid it now..."
"Wanxin, what are you talking about? Every girl is from every family, why do you say so much without any distinction?" Chen Qiang heard Wanxin's words and felt that these should not be said by a girl.
Wan Xin then remembered that she was just a girl who had just entered the hairpin, not a woman who had experienced vicissitudes of life, so she quickly lowered her head. Looking from Xue Lanfeng's direction, she thought Wan Xin felt wronged, "You just came back and said that your sister is just a joke with you, what's the matter?"
Chen Wanxin immediately smiled when he heard Xue Lanfeng talking to her, "Brother, have you heard that? You can't bully me anymore. If you bully me, your sister-in-law will help me, right?"
Xue Lanfeng shaved Wan Xin's nose in love, "Yes... With me here, no one can bully you."
Chen Qiang looked helplessly at the two women who had already tied up and were still dealing with him together, but this scene was what he expected in his heart and was about to come true.
"Brother, your business has been handled?" Chen Wanxin thought that Chen Qiang had said that the days he left were not consistent with the present, so why did he suddenly come back early?
Chen Qiang looked puzzled, "I've finished talking, I've finished talking."
As soon as these words were spoken, Wan Xin and Xue Lanfeng looked at each other, "Brother, can you say something more clearly? My sister-in-law and I didn't understand what we can do."
"General Huaihua sent me a new task..."
"Ah, what's the disaster in Taiqingzhuang?" Xue Lanfeng cared about the elders and villagers in her hometown all the time, not knowing how they are now.
"The disaster in Taiqingzhuang has been controlled, and now there is only the follow-up work for the victims left. Don't worry about Lan Feng. I left and there are other people busy in the disaster area." Chen Qiang knew Xue Lanfeng's thoughts and quickly answered her question.
When Xue Lanfeng heard that her hometown had been safe, she finally let out a long sigh. After so many days of worry, she could finally feel relieved.
"Brother, what is the new task assigned to you by General Huaihua?" Chen Wanxin asked. General Huaihua is a famous general of Beiliang and has countless military achievements. He recalled Chen Qiang so anxiously, and the task he gave him must be very important.
"Now the border of Western Chu is about to move again, and the general specially sent me to guard the border."
"What?" After hearing Chen Qiang's words, Wan Xin and Xue Lanfeng exclaimed at the same time, "The garrison of the border has never happened in their previous life. Wan Xin lowered his head and recalled it carefully. Indeed, at this time in his previous life, the people of Western Chu had another malicious intention towards Beiliang, but at that time, General Huaihua himself was stationed on the border. How could he send his elder brother to come? However, this time, the pacification of foreign thieves would lead to a great victory. If we advance according to the established historical rules, the elder brother would practice military skills this time, which is not a bad thing. It's just...
Chen Wanxin looked at Xue Lanfeng in embarrassment. The time for the elder brother to go to Taiqingzhuang was short. It took one month to go to the border area alone. Including the time of garrison, it would take one year to come back, so Xue Lanfeng stayed here for a year and waited...
"Lan Feng, are you willing to go with me? Although the border is very bitter, I will not let you suffer with me..." Chen Qiang stretched out his hands and held Xue Lanfeng's hand and said seriously.
Xue Lanfeng was worried that Wan Xin would like to take back her hand, but she was too strong. She shrank a few times but failed, so she had to give up, "Why would I not want to, but I don't want to be your burden..."
Xue Lanfeng really hopes to go with Chen Qiang. She knew the time of separation. If she had been separated for a year, she would not have long lost her relatives. Now she would have to say goodbye to her beloved man again. She didn't know whether he was life or death. Even if the border was in hardship, she would be willing to go with her.
"That's great, Lan Feng, that's it." Chen Qiang said excitedly, "Wan Xin, why don't you go with your elder brother?"
How could Wanxin not want to go with her elder brother and sister-in-law? It’s just that the current situation makes her unable to leave and she can’t leave either. She had to shake her head, “Brother, I won’t go anymore. There are still some things in the Shen family that I need to deal with.”
Chen Qiang frowned slightly. He didn't want to see his sister facing the jackals and tigers here alone, but he also knew how stubborn Wan Xin was. What he decided would not change easily. "Since that's the case, then Qi Jiakang stays here to protect you. Don't refuse, otherwise you will go with me."
Wan Xin had to obey Chen Qiang's words and keep Qi Jiakang by her side, which would be beneficial to her. She felt much more at ease with a martial arts person by her side. After all, Shi Tou was not her own. She was very afraid of Shi Tou, but Qi Jiakang was different. It can be said that she was a life-and-death friendship with her elder brother.
"Brother, do you have something to do before you leave?" Chen Wanxin asked Chen Qiang.
"What's the matter?" Chen Qiang thought for a while, not knowing what else he had to do.
Wan Xin reached out and held Chen Qiang's hands, and also held Xue Lanfeng's hands, putting their hands together again, "Get married."
Now it was Chen Qiang and Xue Lanfeng's turn to blush. My sister asked my elder brother to remind me about the marriage. Who can believe this? Wan Xin knew the elder brother's temperament, "Brother, you don't think so tonight, you will get married and you will also notify your father..."
"No need." When talking about Mr. Shen, Chen Qiang's expression was very indifferent. Since his mother passed away, he never regarded Mr. Shen as his father again. "Lan Feng, that's really wronged you."
Xue Lanfeng's eyes were already filled with hot tears and shook her head, "No grievances, I'm very happy with you."
So in the evening, Wan Xin and Mingyue held a simple wedding ceremony for their elder brother and sister-in-law. Although there were no one else, the wedding was so warm. When Chen Qiang opened Xue Lanfeng's veil with love, he made a decision that this woman must spend her whole life caring for her.
Chen Wanxin also looked at his elder brother and sister-in-law with tears in his eyes. They were finally together again. This time, the elder brother and sister-in-law must grow old together...
On the evening of the second day of the military order, Chen Qiang took Xue Lanfeng away from the Chen Mansion. Before leaving, he repeatedly told Wan Xin, for fear of being bullied. Wan Xin smiled and comforted him, "Why are I so easy to be bullied? Look, I have been back from the countryside by myself. Brother, I am no longer that little girl, don't worry."
After seeing off his elder brother and sister-in-law, Chen Wanxin began to prepare for tomorrow's sacrifice. Chen Qiang even did not participate in the sacrifices of the Shen family. It can be seen that except for his own surname Chen, everything else was completely cut from the Shen family.
When Chen Qiang comes back next time, Chen Qiang will definitely ask Wanxin to move out of Chen Mansion, which means that Wanxin has only one year to solve all the problems here.
"Miss, why do I think there will be bad things for tomorrow's sacrificial sacrifice? My eyelids have been leaping for a day." Now there is only one Mingyue left by Wanxin, and Wanxin is like choosing a few more maids to train. After all, everything falls on Mingyue and she can't stand it.
"Which eyelid twitch?"
"Left." Mingyue grabbed his eyelids with one hand, trying to calm it down.
"The left eye twitches, maybe something good will happen to us." Wan Xin smiled and comforted Mingyue. How could she not know that she would face an unknown battle tomorrow, and what kind of way would Liu take to torture her.
"Is that so? Then I'll just jump with it." Mingyue let go of her right hand and happily prepared the clothes for Wanxin to tomorrow.
Wan Xin looked at Mingyue's back and shook her head. At this moment, she suddenly thought that the pigeon she had given to Liu Fanchen had not been back yet.
