Chapter 26 Embarrassment

As soon as Qin's words came out, the whole hall was silent, except for the unexplained Wen family member, the rest of the Gao clan looked at Gao Qi in surprise and whispered.

Hearing that it was related to her family, Princess Lekang raised her eyebrows and shouted sharply: "What scandal? Tell the truth!"

There is no airtight wall in the world, if Zhang Xiao really has a problem, other members of the Gao clan will also hear about it.She is Gao Qi's aunt, who lost her husband and went to Gao's family. At the beginning, Gao Qi accepted her. Just now, she felt pity for her...

Princess Lekang looked at Gao Qi who was standing upright in the hall, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

Gentlemen are dignified, like Zhilan Yushu born on the steps of the courtyard, with dazzling eyes.But, isn't this really a paper illusion?

The sons of the Wen family have a dispensable attitude towards Gao Qi, brother-in-law, and don't ask him to be special and extraordinary, as long as he treats Wen Xueqing honestly.

As for Gao Qi, apart from being a little weak, he is remarkable in other aspects, especially Wen Xueqing's character is very hot-tempered, only Gao Qi's temperament can accommodate Wen Xueqing.Coupled with the fact that he lost his mother in his early years and was somewhat dependent on the Wen family, Gao Qi was immediately selected by the Wen family among the many members of the Gao family.

It would be fine if Gao Qi wasn't engaged to Wen Xueqing, but the meanings of the two surnames in this marriage are not simple, is Gao Qi in a daze?

Sensing Gao Lan's nervousness, even her flesh aching from being pinched, Wen Xueqing threw her away: "What is it? It has something to do with me?"

The old lady passed away, and the house was full of guests who came to express their condolences. With so many people staring at this side, Qin's voice was too sharp, and everyone present could hear it.

After Zhang Xiao lived in Gao's family, he accompanied Gao Lan among the major families in Linzhou.Someone quickly remembered that there was such a weak beauty with a unique style from Weidi.

Gao Qi almost screamed: "Mother be careful!"

Qin's sneered: "You have trouble with your aunt, do you still want to marry Miss Wen?"

"What?" Wen Xueqing rushed away from Gao Lan who was holding her and Princess Lekang who stood in front of her, and stood in front of Gao Qi and asked, "Is this serious?"

"Zhenzhen, don't listen to other people's nonsense, my elder brother is completely sincere to you, there is no way he would treat you like this!" Gao Lan was already in tears.

Wen Xueqing still stared at the silent Gao Qi: "What about you? Say something."

Gao Qi's lips were as pale as his face, his eyes looked at Wen Xueqing, his lips moved silently, and he couldn't utter a single word.

Gao Lan was anxious: "Of course it's fake, Zhenzhen, you have to trust my brother, how could he let you down?"

Judging by Gao Qi's demeanor, it was already acquiesced, but Gao Lan was still trying her best to persuade Wen Xueqing to trust Gao Qi and let Gao Qi deny it.

Wen Xueqing suddenly felt at a loss.Looking back hastily, all the aristocratic families in Linzhou gathered here, her eyes swept over the guests one by one, and she looked at Ling Rou in the crowd.

Everyone here saw her embarrassment and the humiliation of the Wen family.

Princess Lekang had a stern face, and pointed to the Qin family: "Why did you frame Gao Lang and Zhang Xiao? Detain them and keep them under strict supervision."

The slender and white fingers clenched into fists in the sleeves, and Princess Lekang glared fiercely at Qin. If it wasn't for her, Wen Xueqing wouldn't be in such an embarrassing situation today, and made all the aristocratic families in Linzhou laugh at her.

Regardless of whether the marriage between the Wen Gao family can continue, the scandal between Zhang Xiao and Gao Qi can only be denied first whether it is true or not!

"The soul of the old lady has not left yet, and the Gao family's children have caused such a big incident..." Some of the guests laughed secretly, "It's really not as good as one generation after another. I thought that Gao Qi was capable of marrying Miss Wen, but he didn't Thinking about it is still a waste.”

Hearing those words, Wen Xueqing stood up straighter, she didn't dare to look back at Lingrou anymore.Lingrou's expression must be well controlled so that no one can see it, but in her heart, she might have laughed so hard that she couldn't breathe.

After all, it was a once-in-a-lifetime time, the most embarrassing time in her history.

A corner of the sky outside the eaves has darkened at some point, the room is completely white, white silk ribbons and white paper are intertwined and flying, and the bells are jingling and jingling.

The soldiers forcibly dragged Qin Shi down, Qin Shi grabbed Gao Qi's father to delay, and continued to shout: "It's true or not, His Highness brought Zhang Xiao here, this matter, Mr. Wen Lang can also testify for me--I Suspected, in order to cover up the matter, Gao Qi deliberately imprisoned Mr. Wen who knew about it! He even made the old lady die in anger!"

"Nonsense!" Gao Qi scolded, "The woman in the deep house spreads rumors based on her own imagination and ruins people's reputation. Please don't listen to the words of villains!"

When it came to Wen Jiming, Princess Lekang didn't simply believe one side's words, but stopped the soldiers and looked directly at Qin Shi: "This is the last chance, what's going on, tell me clearly."

Before Qin Shi could speak, Gao Qi argued: "Your Highness, don't listen to her nonsense, this is definitely not the case."

According to Qin, not only would he be charged with killing the old lady, but he would also bear the wrath of the Wen family for imprisoning Wen Jiming privately.

"Gao Qi did the old lady's death. This matter has nothing to do with Mr. Wen Lang. He was framed!"

Although her hair was scratched and scattered during the struggle, and she lost the grandeur of everyone's wife, Qin couldn't care about these anymore.The condition she agreed to cooperate with Gao Qi earlier was to make Gao Qi give up marrying Wen Xueqing.

Just relying on what she has in her hands, it is enough to make Gao Qi's reputation sour and irreversible.If Gao Qi is not selected as Wen Xueqing's marriage candidate, the Wen family may choose other Gao family children, or simply choose, and the Gao family will get rid of the Wen family's control from then on.

No matter what kind of result, she will not lose money.

What Qin didn't expect was that, facing Princess Lekang and Wen Xueqing, since she couldn't get it, Gao Qi couldn't get it either.The Gao family will completely turn against the Wen family, and no one will get better!

"I see—" a voice suddenly interjected.

The people in the room looked out the door, but saw a tall man standing outside the door, a few rays of sunlight shot through the gaps in the clouds, and fell on the sword worn by his waist.

"Mr. Wen Lang!"

"Wen Shiro!"

Wen Ji, all the guests of the Ming Dynasty bowed their hands and stepped into the mourning hall.

Walking to the end in a straight line, he nodded slightly to Princess Lekang on the way, walked to the old lady's coffin, respectfully finished offering incense, and then stood up.

"Gao Lang is very calculating," Wen Jiming said, "It's a pity that you are still not brave enough."

Princess Lekang watched Wen Jiming carefully for a moment, and saw that although his clothes were rough, he was in good spirits.

"Is Shiro okay? Did Gao Qi do anything to you? Was he injured?"

"I'm fine," Wen Jiming comforted Princess Lekang, "I'm worrying my aunt."

"I don't know how my aunt got there. At that time, I had already left Gao Mansion, and Gao Qi chased me back," Wen Jiming said loudly, explaining to the guests, "I came to Shenhu to visit my aunt, anyone who knows Not much, and Gao Qi was not notified at that time, and I was still wondering how Gao Qi knew that I was in Shenhu."

The Gao family is not cleanly involved with other forces, and the current position of the Wen family is still pure ministers and not standing in line. The Gao family has a problem, and Wen Jiming wants to solve it secretly with the old lady.

Wen Jiming glanced at Wen Xueqing, and slowly said to Gao Qi: "My aunt has always been in poor health, I believe it's just a coincidence, but Gao Lang really shouldn't treat me like this—no matter what your purpose is."

Ling Rou in the crowd was thoughtful.

If Gao Qi and Zhang Xiao really had an affair, but the Qin family was willing to cooperate before, then the reason is simple, in order not to anger the Wen family and maintain the superficial peace.But Gao Qi flinched from Wen's family and outright annoyed Qin's, which forced her to make such a bad move.

The fact that the Gao brothers and sisters are at odds with the stepmother Qin is a tacit fact of the Linzhou aristocratic family, which can be seen just by looking at Gao Lan's dislike for the Qin family.

It's just... Qin Shi clearly said just now that Gao Qi and Zhang Xiao had a relationship, but Wen Jiming didn't mention a word, and there was a little bit of intention to whitewash Gao Qi. Could it be that he still wanted to promote Wen Gao's marriage?

Ling Rou frowned, if Gao Qi and Zhang Xiao were real, with so many people watching, would Wen Xueqing swallow this breath and obey the arrangement to marry into Gao's family?

"Qiniang, my hand hurts so much, can you please be gentle?" the maid complained softly, now is a tense moment, and everyone is eager to know what's going to happen next, my little lady is really into the drama.

Lingrou took a deep breath, and let go of the handmaid's hand that was unconsciously pinched.

If Princess Lekang had been tougher, even if this was the Gao family, all the guests would have been cleared out long ago.Now that it has developed to this point, even if all the guests are driven away, there will be discussions about whether Wen Xueqing will marry into the Gao family in the future.

"I don't know if Miss Wen will break the engagement," the maid said, "Does Qiniang know?"

"Yes!" Ling Rou stared at Wen Xueqing, who everyone was paying attention to, firmly.

"Huh? But..."

The maid was very conflicted, putting aside her personal feelings, Gao Qi failed Wen Xueqing, she naturally hoped that the marriage contract could be dissolved.But she works as a maid in the Ling family, and knows that although these little ladies are delicate, they have no control over their marriage and life.

"Your Highness and Duke Wen won't agree?"

"Yes," Lingrou repeated again, "she will definitely."

Because she is Wen Xueqing, Wen Xueqing is different from other noble girls.

"Where's Zhang Xiao?" Wen Xueqing, who hadn't spoken for a long time, finally said, "Where is she?"

Wen Jiming's whole body trembled, the sword he clenched tightly in his hand relaxed, he looked at Gao Qi indifferently, and stopped talking.

Princess Lekang closed her eyes heavily, opened them again, and slowly let go of her fists clenched in her sleeves, and told her cronies: "Find the Lord and the Lord as soon as possible."

The Wen family should have received the funeral report, and the time should be approaching on the way.

The confidant understands: "Do you want them to arrive as soon as possible?"

"No, it's to hold them back."

"Where's Zhang Xiao?" Wen Xueqing raised her voice and asked again.

"Let her come to see me. If you dare to do it, you must do it; if you don't do it, that's even better. There are so many people here, can I, Wen Xueqing, eat her?"

She thought Zhang Xiao's attitude was a bit strange before, but she didn't notice any signs of it at the time. Now that she thinks about it, she just finds it ridiculous, full of flaws.

Gao Qi is the kind of person who hates that others look down on him the most. The Wen family doesn't think much of him. If he wants to support him, he might not be convinced.

Being able to do that scene on the Shangyuan Festival is just a habit.But he still felt uncomfortable. If Gao Lan hadn't called him to stop him, he would have avoided it as if he hadn't seen it.

Zhang Xiao is so tender and soft-spoken, Gao Qi should be very helpful.

He is more willing to make a gesture of nostalgia for Gao Qi in front of her, and is of course more liked by Gao Qi than her perfunctory and careless one.

She, Wen Xueqing, looked down on such a low-level method, and didn't even bother to do it.

Gao Qi's father, who had always been out of state, finally realized that this matter was not easy, and quickly sent someone to escort Zhang Xiao to kneel in front of Wen Xueqing.

——This is a silent admission that Gao Qi betrayed Wen Xueqing.

Princess Lekang stared at Zhang Xiao's slightly protruding belly, and her silver teeth were almost crushed.

Wen Jiming lowered his eyelashes, no longer paid attention to the curious and inquiring eyes from all directions, and did not ask to return the sword, but retreated to the position where there was just one person missing behind Princess Lekang.

"Very good." Wen Xueqing only glanced at Zhang Xiao, then stopped looking at her, and walked up to Gao Qi, "It's too arbitrary to rely on just one mouth, and maybe Gao Lang has difficulties. You explain, I won't just listen to 'little people', I just ask you—you and Zhang Xiao, is it true or not?"

Gao Qi knelt down suddenly, but kept his mouth tightly shut, his eyes evasive, and he kept glancing at Wen Xueqing from the corner of his eyes.

He has always known that the young lady of the Wen family is unparalleled in beauty, otherwise she would not be as famous as the Ling family girl who is both talented and beautiful.

As Wen Xueqing's marriage partner, he knew this little Wen family lady better than the outside world.He knew that she was not only beautiful, but also that she was unparalleled in chess, knew the rhythm of music, and besides archery and horseback riding, her writing and arithmetic were also top-notch.The aristocratic Wen family devoted all their efforts to carefully raising a little lady who is naturally very good.It's just that there is one bad thing, the character of such a little lady is the most unacceptable to him.

Wen Xueqing is better than him in everything. If he wants to marry Wen Xueqing, he should lower himself into the dust to welcome this noble wife into the door, and then give all the power he has already obtained with his own hands.

Obviously his surname is Gao!

Gao Qi didn't speak all the time, Gao Lan was anxious, and hurriedly came forward to explain for him: "Zhenzhen, you know that my brother is not good at talking, but he has always been sincere to you..."

"Gao Lan—" Wen Xueqing interrupted her with disappointment in her eyes. At this time, Gao Lan clearly knew the truth, but she still tried to cover up and deceive herself, "Stop talking, I just listen to him."

"Qiang——"

With a clear sound of the sword, Wen Xueqing quickly pulled out the sword from Wen Jiming's waist, and the sharp tip of the sword shone with white light, shining brightly.

"Today, I will believe what Gao Lang says. As long as you say no, then there is no. After the funeral of my aunt and grandma is over, I will wait for my lord to marry me in peace. I believe Gao Lang will not lie to me."

The point of the sword reached Gao Qi's neck, and Wen Xueqing could kill Gao Qi on the spot with just a little force.

"But if one day I find out that Gao Lang lied to me, then..."

The tip of the sword moved forward again, and some timid people could not restrain their exclamation. All the guests were surprised that Wen Xueqing was so bold.

Gao Qi froze and felt cold all over.It's useless to say anything at this time, not to mention, he can't say anything.

It's ridiculous to say that he didn't wait for Wen Xueqing to draw his sword to intimidate him, so his knees softened and he knelt unconsciously.

When it was over, he lowered his eyes, watching the point of the sword piercing his throat little by little, but he was powerless.

Gao Lan covered her mouth, and persuaded Wen Xueqing with fear, "You...you...don't be impulsive, I, my brother..."

"I told you not to talk anymore!" Wen Xueqing sternly shouted, the place where the sword tip touched the neck oozes bright red, "Today I only listen to Gao Lang's words."

Her tone was gentle, but her hands were merciless: "As long as Gao Lang admits that he has not let me down, he will definitely marry me, and I will believe it."

Gao Lan looked eagerly at her elder brother; "Brother, tell me something, it's a lie...you, you will marry Zhenzhen, right?"

"I see, this is your answer."

It was obviously such an embarrassing scene, but Wen Xueqing felt refreshed. The long-standing repression and dissatisfaction broke through the shackles at this moment, and vented with the long sword.

She raised her sword in front of Zhang Xiao, and sneered at Gao Qi: "Since you like her so much, but she made me lose face today, I will never forgive her."

The sky is covered with dark clouds, the sky and the earth are dark, the candle lights in the mourning hall are brightly lit, and the light and shadow are ambiguous, reflecting on Wen Xueqing's face, her eyes are shining brighter, and her bright and delicate facial features are dazzling.

And Zhang Xiao, who was located below her, was shrunk in the shadows. In addition, her body was weak, she was so weak that she almost collapsed, most of her spirit was gone, and her complexion was pale and ugly.

Anyone with eyes knows which is better.Some guests have already secretly ridiculed Gao Qi for pretending to be a fake, blindly seeing that the family background from the wild Weidi is not as good as Wen Xueqing's Zhang Xiao.

Wen Xueqing has a strong temper, but her surname is Wen, so she is qualified to have such a personality!

"However, since Gao Lang pities her so much, as long as you beg me, I will let her go and let her give birth to your first child. If Gao Lang doesn't ask..."

Watching Wen Xueqing put the sword on Zhang Xiao's neck, Gao Qi remained silent.

"It seems that Gao Lang is going to be silent to the end today." Ling Rou who was below also sneered.

How can such a man be worthy of Wen Xueqing?

When she said this, it seemed that Wen Xueqing's eyes were also on her.But when she confirmed again, Wen Xueqing still focused on Zhang Xiao on the court.

It was indeed her illusion.

Ling Rou shook her head, no matter what, it is impossible for Wen Gao and his family to marry again.

"I dare not admit it, I dare not ask for it," Wen Xueqing laughed, "Gao Qi, Gao Qi, you are in vain as a child of a family, and you are not as good as a countryman by the side of the road!"

Rumble - boom - boom

The dark and thick sky cut through a flash of lightning, followed by drums and thunder.The rain line was as thick as a little finger, falling rapidly from the highest sky, splashing huge water on the ground.

——The first rain of this autumn has finally arrived.
