Xiao Junzhan lowered his eyes to look at him and said in a very soft voice: "Ning Hai, my heart is no longer calm."

The servant named Ning Hai was stunned on the spot.

Xiao Junzhan put the memorial in his hand back on the table, took out a warm jade from his sleeve, and slowly touched the inscription on it: "Ran Ran..."

He called softly: "Wei Hanzhang..."

There was a hint of tenderness in the voice, which made Ning Hai frown even lower.

…………

Wei Hanzhang's carriage stopped at the gate of the mansion. When he entered, he happened to meet Yongle Hou and his crown prince dismounting in front of the gate of the Wei mansion. Shen Yu followed behind his father and brother with a low eyebrow and a red mark on his forehead.

It seemed that the father and son were ready to come and apologize.

Seeing Wei Hanzhang, Crown Prince Yongle raised his hands and saluted, "Miss Wei Jiu."

Behind him, Shen Yu seemed very ashamed, and only raised her hands in salute without saying a word.

Wei Hanzhang hummed, knelt down and blessed them, saying "well".

There was no disgust on her face, but she certainly didn't look happy.

Yongle Hou and his son did not want to talk too much to the women in the boudoir, and were quickly welcomed into the outer courtyard by the concierge.

Wei Hanzhang stared at the backs of the father and son, feeling aggrieved for Wei Hanshuang, for such a good girl to marry such an irresponsible scumbag like Shen Yu.

His cousin is also the daughter of an official family. Although her father's family is in decline, she has a level of kinship, and marrying her second cousin from her direct uncle's family is not a fantasy.

If Shen Yu was responsible, she would reject the marriage and marry her cousin.

If Shen Yu wasn't a scumbag, he shouldn't have had an affair without a matchmaker and let his cousin follow him with no status and status, and even get pregnant with a child.

According to Wei Hanzhang's opinion, this marriage is extremely bad. If the Wei family feels sorry for the girl at all, they should kick the father and son out of the house, and don't let the entrance pollute the yard.

But she didn't know that Wei Hanshuang was already seventeen this year. She and Shen Yu had arranged to get married two years ago.

To be honest, Wei Hanshuang is already half of the Shen family.

This marriage is not a simple marriage between children. As Wei Hanshuang himself said, it is a marriage between the Wei family and the Shen family. As long as the Wei family's daughter marries the Shen family, as for how many concubines there are in Shen Yu's backyard, the concubines belong to him. Cousin or cousin doesn't matter.

The most important thing is that the legitimate wife is the daughter of the Wei family.

The biggest anger of the Wei family about today's matter is not even the cousin with a dark knot. From the perspective of the interests of the Wei family, the most annoying thing is that the Shen family should not involve their eight girls. Every girl represents A marriage, even if it is the legitimate daughter of a concubine.

The Shen family's father and son came to the house precisely to negotiate a solution to this matter.

Wei Hanzhang also knew in his heart that even if her sixth sister really broke off her engagement with the Shen family, her next marriage might not be more satisfactory.

Such is the way of the world.

But she still felt aggrieved for Wei Hanshuang.

Returning to Jingya Hall, Jiang was not there as expected. Such a big event happened at today's banquet. The heads of the Wei family must have discussed it at Liu's place.

I don't know when her actions outside the Jiaofang Department will be reported to the house. It's really uncomfortable to feel so worried.The more he thought about it, the more headache he got. Wei Hanzhang looked depressed and felt very scared.

Just because you are afraid of anything, a maid came in a hurry and said in a low voice: "Miss Jiu, the Marquis calls you to go to Yixing Hall."

Yixing Hall is the main courtyard of the Hou Mansion and the residence of Madam Hou's wife Liu.

Has grandfather seen Yongle Hou and his son?He actually wanted to call her, but already knew what she did today?
Wei Hanzhang felt uneasy and took a soft sedan to Yixing Hall. The maid at the door bowed slightly to her, opened the curtain and made a gesture.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard soft sobbing inside, and it was Wei Hanyu's.

In the main hall, the loyal and brave Hou Weiping sat upright with a cold expression on his face, and Mrs. Liu, the Hou's wife, sat next to him with a sad face.

Just like when Wei Hanzhang returned home that day, the lobby was packed with people.

Seeing Wei Hanzhang coming, Marquis Zhongyong raised his eyes and looked at her, "Kneel down!"

Jiang, who was sitting next to Wei Heng, held the handkerchief and wanted to plead for mercy, but Wei Heng stopped him with a wink.

Wei Hanzhang knelt down upright while facing the gaze of the whole room.

Wei Ping said: "Do you know what disaster your actions today will bring to the house?"

Wei Hanzhang's heart skipped a beat, and she was a little confused. She felt that what happened today was just to harm her reputation. How could it bring disaster to the Zhongyong Hou Mansion?
When Wei Ping saw it, he sneered and said: "The men of the Cao family in Xuzhou were exiled, the women were sent to the Jiaofang Department, and the head of the family, Cao Shiren, was beheaded. This case was decided by the crown prince himself."

"Today, the prisoner's daughter jumped off the building to die. Even the doctors inside didn't want to save her, but you burst into tears on the spot. Call for the doctors. If someone is using it to attack and annihilate, others will not care about anything else. They will only say that our Wei family is against us. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is dissatisfied with the sentence.”

The candlelight in the room was bright, and a trace of panic could clearly be seen on Wei Ping's old face. He was really worried about being attacked and annihilated by his political opponents, which made the prince keep this in mind.

Wei Hanzhang lowered her eyes and did not see her grandfather's face. She felt unspeakable in her heart. She did not expect that such a small matter could be magnified to this extent in the eyes of a politician like Wei Ping.

If the prince is really as generous and kind as others say, how can he care about the friendship between the two daughters' families? To put it more seriously, it can't be related to his dissatisfaction with His Royal Highness the prince's punishment, right?
Why did his grandfather end up like this?
She composed her thoughts and said softly: "Grandpa, you worry too much. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise and powerful. I and Rou Niang have been handkerchiefs since we were young. She died and I cried..."

"That's enough! You still dare to talk back, and you still don't know your fault now?" Wei Ping stood up abruptly, his face livid and angry:

"What kind of place is Jiaofangsi? You actually dare to break in. That woman is a prostitute. You picked her up in front of everyone. Do you think our house's reputation is not lively enough?"

Wei Ping's expression turned cold and he said: "There is already a girl in the house who has been kidnapped by gangsters. She has been ridiculed by many people. You don't know how to be careful with your words and deeds outside to protect the family's face. When you go out, one falls into the water, and the other calls a prostitute sister. Taoist sister..."

The more Wei Ping spoke, the angrier he became. He waved his sleeves and threw the tea cup. He turned to Mrs. Jiang and said, "Teach your daughter the rules. She is so perverse and stubborn. If she gets married in the future, it will be the Wei family that gets stabbed in the spine."

The words implied that the Jiang family had failed to educate their Wei family's daughter well, which made Jiang's face turn pale and he was called "Nuo".

Wei Hanzhang felt guilty and depressed for having caused Jiang's family to suffer. She held her hands tightly. She knew that what happened today was a bit impulsive, but she really didn't expect that her grandfather was such a person.

Is it because he is politically sensitive, or is he scared out of his mind by the prince?

Are you worried about upsetting the prince over a trivial matter?

After Zhongyong Hou Weiping scolded him a few times, he sat down with his hands on his heart, took the tea cup from Mrs. Liu, and said no more.
