at the same time,

Above the outer mourning hall,

At this moment, Sheng Hong also came to pay homage to Yuan Wenchun!

After all, the two families are in-laws, and their relationship is extraordinary.
It's a bit uninteresting to have only the younger generation, and Sheng Changbai is newlywed.
It is not in accordance with the rules to come to this mourning hall, and it is easy to collide!

So Mr. Sheng Hong took action personally this time!
Just because I took leave, I came a step late!
Although Sheng Hong was happy about Yuan Wenchun's death, on his face he was even more sad than if his own son had died!
Afraid of letting people see any joy!

He didn't even look at his daughter and son-in-law, he just chatted with the old man of the Yuan family!
Uncle Yuan was naturally heartbroken when his eldest son died, but it was actually less painful than expected!
To put it bluntly, Yuan Wenchun has been on the sickbed for the past few years, and even goes crazy from time to time! Just having a hard time!

It’s okay for him to feel uncomfortable, but his family members are actually suffering too.

There is no filial son in front of a long-term illness. In fact, the reverse is also true!

The Yuan family also has Yuan Wenshao, the legitimate son, who is quite promising himself. In fact, Old Uncle Yuan has given up on Yuan Wenchun a long time ago!
Now that Yuan Wenshao is determined to be the future heir of the uncle's house,
Therefore, Uncle Yuan still respects Sheng Hong, Yuan Wenshao's father-in-law!

I can't help praising Sheng Hong for raising such a well-educated and sensible daughter like Hua Lan!
Thanks to Hua Lan, the family is in order these days!

The two of them are greeting each other!

Suddenly a servant from the Yuan family ran over.
Full of panic, he trotted to Uncle Yuan!
"It's not good, uncle. Something bad has happened. Let me tell you uncle..."

"How unbecoming you are in a panic!"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Uncle Yuan with a frown.

This unsatisfactory thing is embarrassing me in front of my in-laws!
The servant also knew that he was a little rude, but when he thought of what happened in the living room,
He couldn't care about anything, not even being scolded by Uncle Yuan. He swallowed.
When he came back to his senses, he did not apologize and continued immediately:

"Uncle, something big has happened. Prince Yong and Young Master Xu from Yongyi House are facing each other, and they are about to fight!
There are also the young prince of Qi Guogong, the young prince of Jinghai Marquis, and the second young master of Ningyuan Hou. They are all mixed together. No one will let the other go. Come and have a look. If you go late, you will be in trouble. ! "

"what?"

"Is there such a thing?"

Uncle Yuan and Sheng Hong were both calm and composed at first.

When I heard my servant say this, I was so frightened that I almost jumped up!
Especially Sheng Hong, he was so frightened that he plucked out the beard on his chin!
But at this time, he couldn't care about the pain, his face was full of horror!

What? Prince Yong and Xu Wenhui are having sex? Are there so many distinguished people involved in it? How can this happen?

My daughter is engaged to Xu Wenhui. If this doesn't go well and affects my family, wouldn't it be a huge disaster?
After all, Uncle Yuan also came from a noble family and had a good status. He was a little calmer than Sheng Hong.
Thinking that Sheng Hong is Xu Wenhui's future father-in-law, Qi Heng and Gu Tingye also studied in the Sheng family,

Maybe Sheng Hong, the in-law, could speak, so he turned to look at Sheng Hong and pleaded anxiously:
"In-laws, this is about General Xu, and you are not considered an outsider. Otherwise, let's go over and take a look. At this critical period, we cannot let them do whatever they want!"

Uncle Yuan really has no choice. He really can't afford to offend either the Yong family or the Yongyi Marquis!

We can only try our best to see if we can quell this war!

"Brother Yuan, I...I..."

When Sheng Hong heard this, he felt full of regret.
I knew I would come to Yuan Mansion today to join in the fun!

Isn't this asking for trouble? It's like putting a gun on it!
I wanted to refuse, but I didn’t know how to say it. My face was really full of bitterness, but it was much more real than the pretense just now!
Seeing Sheng Hong's hesitation, Uncle Yuan was afraid that Sheng Hong would not agree. Thinking that the situation was urgent, just in case, he decided to

He started directly and dragged Sheng Hong out.

"Let's go, in-laws, the situation is urgent, let's get there quickly!"

"Oh...this...in-laws, in-laws..."

Although Sheng Hong tried his best to resist, he, a weak scholar, couldn't resist Uncle Yuan's strength!

He could only be coaxed and dragged to follow him towards the living room!

The remaining relatives of the Yuan family in the mourning hall were also panicked.

Seeing this situation, Sheng Hualan was very worried about her father, so she looked at Yuan Wenshao beside her as if asking for help.

"Officer, this... Cousin Xu and Prince Yong are having a quarrel. My father is going over. I'm afraid..."

Yuan Wenshao was also a little worried. He was not worried about Sheng Hong, but worried that things would get out of hand.

He had worked under Xu Wenhui before and was most aware of Xu Wenhui's prestige among the generals of the Xu family.
It can be said that those General Xu only have Xu Wenhui in their hearts, and they have no official family in Zhou Dynasty!
Now that the generals of the Xu family hold high positions and hold real power, if they cause trouble, it will be fine!
So he couldn't sit still, he patted Sheng Hualan's arm and said comfortingly:

"It's okay, just keep an eye on this side, I'll go over and take a look!"

……

At this moment,
In the living room,

Qi Heng worked so hard to help Zhao Keng.

Wu Zhen was a little surprised, approached Xu Wenhui and whispered:
"Brother, something is wrong. Princess Pingning is familiar with Ouchi. If Qi Yuanruo helps Zhao Keng like this, could it be that the official family has made up his mind to make Prince Yong the crown prince? Should we take a long-term approach?"

There is a huge difference between the momentum and the confirmation of the crown prince. If the official family has confirmed that King Yong will inherit the throne!
That means you have to give in when facing Zhao Keng.
This is a normal compromise and is not a shame!
And there is another point. Although the Qi family is weak, they still hold the position of Duke of the country. The Qi family is not without influence among the nobles.

The Qi family helps King Yong like this, which is equivalent to tearing a hole among the nobles!
It is inevitable for people’s hearts to fluctuate!

Liang Han next to him was one of the representatives. He was originally a little afraid of King Yong's strength. When Wu Zhen said this, he became even more frightened and quickly agreed:
"Cousin... Cousin! Brother Wu is right! Princess Pingning is almost the biological daughter of the official family. She must have known the news. It would be safer for us to give in a little!"

Even Gu Tingye's expression was much more solemn than before! Although he is a bit reckless, he is not without scruples!
Although he somewhat thought that Qi Yuanruo was not that kind of person, what if it was the Qi family who made the decision...

Not only a few people thought this way, but the noble disciples around them also thought this way and started talking in low voices!
"Have the official family really decided on King Yong? Why does Qi Yuanruo defend Zhao Keng so much? Could it be that the Qi family has taken sides in advance? The Qi family is a bit unreasonable!" "That's right, I think it's 80% true. In this case, Princess Pingning has been raised in the palace since she was a child, and her relationship with the official wife is extraordinary. She must know something, so she let Qi Yuanruo get close to County Princess Jiacheng!"

"Yes, that should be the case. The Qi family is indeed very cunning! If we get the news early, our family will have the upper hand!"

"That's right. I could tell something was wrong at the polo club, and now I see that it is indeed the case. This Qi family is so abominable. They even resort to beauty tricks!"

"Hey, do you think the Qi family is deliberately trying to sow discord between the Xu family and the Yong Palace? Why is it that every time Xu Wenhui and the Yong Palace conflict, Qi Heng is present?"

"No way?"

"It's hard to say! I heard that Qi Yuanruo and Xu Wenhui don't deal with each other in the first place. He is not as capable as Xu Wenhui. With the help of Prince Yong's palace, it's not surprising!"

"If that's the case, then Qi Yuanruo isn't as courteous and courteous as he seems..."

"No...it's true that I know people but not their hearts! It turns out that Qi Yuanruo is also a lucky person!"

Qi Heng saw everyone's reaction at this time and felt that something was inappropriate.

He quickly stepped forward as if to explain, and said:

"Whether it's Prince Yong's Palace or Prince Yan's Palace here today, whether you believe it or not, my Qi Heng's attitude is always the same! My Qi family abides by the rules and will never do anything crazy!"

Qi Heng's explanation was a little feeble. Probably no one present except Xu Wenhui and Gu Tingye believed it!
Even Zhao Keng thought that Qi Heng was still thinking of his family, but he just had to say something for the sake of face!

So he walked to Qi Heng and whispered:
"Brother Yuan Ruo, don't worry! I already know your thoughts today! Don't worry, you will definitely not regret today's decision in the future!"

This transformation is a guarantee for Qi Heng!
But why did Qi Heng want to hear this? He opened his mouth to explain,
"Your Majesty, you misunderstood. In fact, I..."

"Hey, I understand what the misunderstanding is! Don't worry!" Without giving Qi Heng a chance to explain, Zhao Keng patted Qi Heng on the shoulder, then turned to look at Xu Wenhui again, and said proudly:

"How's it going, Xu Wenhui? Do you see what the general trend is now?"

Xu Wenhui also knew that it was Qi Heng's intervention that caused everyone to misunderstand!

To be honest, he didn't expect Qi Heng to suddenly come out and say such a big truth.

Since Qi Heng intervened, Xu Wenhui was not polite.
By bringing this matter to light, he wanted to see how the Qi family would fare if King Yong did not succeed to the throne in the future!

So he pretended to look ugly and said:
"What is the general trend? Why didn't I see it? Isn't it just that the Qi family is betting on your Prince Yong's Palace!" After saying that, he turned to look at Qi Heng and snorted coldly,
"Hmph! Qi Yuanruo, your Qi family is really good! It turns out that a biting dog doesn't know how to bark.
The last time I saw Qi Guogong, he was hypocritically discussing with me, saying that we were all nobles and should advance and retreat together. Unexpectedly, he stabbed me in the back!
I just found out today that all your Qi family are like this. Let me tell you, you are cutting yourself off from our noble family! "

Upon hearing this, Qi Heng described their family as dogs and insulted his father, Duke Qi.

His face immediately turned red with anger, but at least he was still rational.

The matter of betting on King Yong cannot be admitted at this time anyway, and I am just about to explain it in words!

Zhao Keng, who was next to him, couldn't wait to stand up and said:

"Xu Wenhui, what do you know? Is Qi Guogong like you? He is a judge of the situation and has a foresight!

Unlike you, a reckless man! Let me tell you, if you don’t give in today, this matter will never end! "

Zhao Keng is not entirely useless, the Qi family is also a helper, and he is naturally willing to tie the Qi family to his own chariot!

Although Xu Wenhui was willing to cooperate, he could not allow Zhao Keng, a grasshopper after the fall, to be arrogant.
Anyway, Qi Heng is already in trouble right now, and it’s time to deal with Zhao Keng, so that he doesn’t know how high the sky is!

So he said:

"Well, if I don't give in, what will you do?"

As he spoke, Xu Wenhui walked up to Zhao Keng, stretched out his hand to block Zhao Keng's neck, put his head to Zhao Keng's ear, and said word by word:
"Little Kengzi, don't say that your father is not the crown prince yet, even if he is the crown prince! So what? Are you sure you can wait until the day your father succeeds to the throne? Human life is sometimes very fragile... Just like my cousin...

Think about it, my lord! Your father is not just your son! "

After saying that, he let go of Zhao Keng's hand and patted Zhao Keng's shoulder in a friendly and cordial manner!

Zhao Keng was restrained by Xu Wenhui's iron hand, but he couldn't help but struggle.

As soon as I heard Xu Wenhui say this, I felt smart all over! This is simply a naked threat to his life!

Zhao Keng only felt a chill coming from the vertebrae of his tail, going straight down his spine to his forehead!
I don’t care about being called a little son,

Swallowing, eyes widened, he looked straight at Xu Wenhui,

As if he couldn't believe that he could hear these words from Xu Wenhui's mouth, he reacted after a while, pushed Xu Wenhui away, pointed at Xu Wenhui and yelled:
"You lunatic, how dare you... how dare you be so rebellious! Threat me! Xu Wenhui, I will sue you in front of the officials!"

Xu Wenhui patted his clothes contemptuously, as if to wipe off something dirty, and chuckled:
"What did I say? I just talked about my cousin. Aren't you very interested in his affairs, my lord?"

You were talking about him just now, why are you acting so cool now? Could it be that there is something wrong with my cousin, Your Majesty? "

Everyone was a little surprised and confused when they saw this. Could it be that what happened to Xu Wenpin of the Xu family was really done by Zhao Keng and was discovered by Xu Wenhui, so Zhao Keng was so panicked!

Even Qi Heng forgot to explain for himself! Looked at Zhao Keng with some suspicion!
Just at this time,
Uncle Yuan hurried over with Sheng Hong in his arms.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Xu Wenhui holding Zhao Keng's neck, and then Zhao Keng pushed him away in panic!
Although he didn't know what Xu Wenhui said to make Zhao Keng lose his composure, Old Uncle Yuan knew that he could not let the situation develop!
So he gave Sheng Hong a hint and hurriedly stepped forward.
Walking between Xu Wenhui and Zhao Keng, Old Uncle Yuan held his hand and said:

"Your Majesty, and nephew Xu Shi, do you have any misunderstandings? Today is the day of my son's burial. Can you two give my Yuan family a small favor and turn the feud into friendship for the time being?

Thank you very much Yuan! "(End of chapter)
