The Favoured Medical Princess: 641 Family

www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!

Xiao Yi thought that Nangong Yue wanted to remind him that the An family had ulterior motives in approaching them, so he said: "Smelly girl, do you know that there are four major aristocratic families in southern Xinjiang?"

"Fang, Xue, Shen, An." Nangong Yue said without thinking.

There are four major families in southern Xinjiang, including Fang, Xueshen and Shen'an. Among them, the Fang family has the deepest foundation and the longest history. The Fang family started with mineral veins, and the An family's banks are spread all over Dayu...

After all, Nangong Yue had just arrived in Southern Xinjiang and didn’t know much about the An family, but Xiao Yi was different. He was almost twelve years old when he left Southern Xinjiang. Although he didn’t know everything about Southern Xinjiang, he still knew a lot about it. Know a lot.

He took Nangong Yue's hand, sat down on the beauty's couch together, and continued: "Speaking of which, the An family has a history of nearly 150 years, but there was an unfilial son born in the An family more than fifty years ago. , once fell into decline, and hundreds of banks under the name of the An family changed owners one after another in the past ten years. When everyone in southern Xinjiang thought that the An family was about to decline, An Xunzhi, the head of the An family at the time, became so cruel that he simply sold the remaining properties of the family and bought The ship went out to sea and returned after two years, bringing two large ships full of exotic goods. From this, Anjia made his first pot of gold. After that, Anjia organized a fleet to go to sea for many years. In just five years, his net worth increased several times, and even Beyond its heyday, the An family has risen again..."

As he spoke, Xiao Yi tilted his head slightly thoughtfully. He didn't pay much attention to the four major families in southern Xinjiang before. Now when he took a closer look, he found that the An family's turnaround was really sudden, and it took more than ten years for it to fall. , but it only took five years for it to rise again...

Could it be that someone is secretly supporting An Jia?

Xiao Yi thought about it and told Nangong Yue his doubts.

Nangong Yue was slightly surprised and couldn't help but ponder.

She will ask about An Jia because of an old incident from her previous life——

In the previous life, everyone in the An family died, and the person who ordered their killing was Xiao Yi!

It is said that the An family colluded with Baiyue and took advantage of Xiao Yi's Northern Expedition. When they first reached the south of the Yangtze River, the Baiyue army invaded southern Xinjiang. At that time, Xiao Yi was surrounded by enemies from both sides. Once he returned to southern Xinjiang, his Northern Expedition would be in vain. If he gave up southern Xinjiang, it would be equivalent to cutting off his own retreat.

So, in order to deal with the war between the two sides, Guan Yubai worked hard and planned. Finally, Baiyue was defeated, the southern border was stabilized, and Jiangnan fell into Xiao Yi's hands. However, Guan Yubai, who had been holding on, suddenly fell down like a lamp that ran out of oil, and passed away within a few days.

Xiao Yi was distraught and the An family was bleeding!

The An family is Xiao Yi's mother's uncle's family, but there is no one left alive in the An family. This incident seems to prove Xiao Yi's cruelty and cruelty. Even she heard about it at the time.

Now that I think about it, An Jia would have colluded with Baiyue at such a juncture, and they probably would not have reached a consensus with Baiyue in a short period of time. When Xiao Yi talked about the history of the An family, Nangong Yue couldn't help but have an idea...

"Ayi, could it be Baiyue who is supporting Anjia from behind?"

Xiao Yi was slightly startled. After a while, he nodded slowly and said, "I will ask someone to check."

As he spoke, he gently rubbed Nangong Yue's temples and said softly: "Grandpa said, you should take a good rest and don't overthink. I'm back, just leave these things to me. ." As he said that, he told Nangong Yue what Nanny Lu had caught.

Nangong Yue followed the good example and leaned on him relaxedly, and as expected she didn't ask any more questions.

Xiao Yi was satisfied and said cheerfully: "Have a rest early today. I will take you to Qingai Lake early tomorrow morning. You will definitely like it."

Nangong Yue did not hide the joy on her face and responded with a smile.

So, early the next morning, a green-covered carriage set off from Fang Mansion and went straight out of the city, aiming for Qingai Lake in the southwest outside the city.

Because Xiao Yi shamelessly squeezed into the carriage with Nangong Yue, Baihui and Huamei wisely did not join in the fun in the carriage. Baihui, who was wearing a green riding outfit, simply rode with Zhuzi, while Huamei Sit next to the driver.

Huamei was also very excited, like a bird being let out of its cage, looking around at the surrounding scenery, and from time to time he and Fang Mansion's coachman asked about Qingai Lake.

The carriage galloped all the way, with laughter and laughter, until suddenly a familiar eagle cry came from behind.

Huamei's entire face froze, and he almost suspected that he was hallucinating.

It can’t be Xiao Hui, right? !

She said to herself in her heart, Xiao Hui had obviously taken Han Yu out to play early in the morning. She saw them flying towards the outside of the city, so why did she chase them again? !

As if to shatter her self-deception, the eagle cry from behind became clearer and clearer, and finally she could clearly hear another slightly childish cry mixed with it.

It’s really Xiao Hui and Han Yu!

Huamei almost broke out in cold sweat on his forehead. They went to Qingai Lake to watch birds. With Xiao Hui, what kind of birds could they watch? !

As she was thinking, a gray shadow appeared above her head. The gray shadow hovered above her, with its wings spread flat.

Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi in the carriage naturally heard the sound. Nangong Yue, who was leaning in Xiao Yi's arms, sat upright, opened the curtains, looked out, and called out: "Xiao Hui!"

As if responding to her, Xiao Hui roared, then flew to the carriage, spread his wings and glided past. His golden eagle eyes glanced at Nangong Yue with a "complaining" look, and Han Yu followed closely behind him. , not only the movements were exactly the same as Xiao Hui, but he also screamed in the same way.

Nangong Yue felt a little guilty inexplicably, feeling as if Xiao Hui was condemning her for running out to play by herself.

Xiao Yi touched his chin, moved his face to the window, and said with a smile: "Did Xiao Hui smell the bird food?"

When Xiao Yi said this, Nangong Yue was stunned for a moment, and so was the thrush outside. They really brought a lot of food with them when they came out this time, not only dry food and snacks for people, but also several kinds of bird food for feeding birds.

The master and the servant thought back and it seemed that when they were preparing bird food, Xiao Hui stared at them from the branches outside the window for a long time.

Could it be that Xiao Hui thinks that these birdseeds are prepared for him and Han Yu?

Nangong Yue held her forehead and suddenly felt like she didn't know what to say.

There is a saying: It is easier to invite gods than to send them away. Now that Xiao Hui has followed, it's probably impossible to drive it away. Xiao Hui is used to being domineering, and he's an eagle, so he can't listen to reason.

Looking at Nangong Yue’s tangled little face, Xiao Yi laughed out loud, blinked, and said evilly: “A’yue, isn’t it fun to bring Xiao Hui with you?”

Nangong Yue twitched her brows speechlessly, looking into Xiao Yi's smiling eyes, knowing that this guy must want to watch a good show. Xiao Hui, you were all taught bad things by him!

After this small interlude, the carriage continued to speed, heading towards Qingai Lake amidst the sounds of horse hooves and eagle calls.

After driving for seven or eight miles, I felt that the surrounding environment gradually changed. The green trees, white clouds, and the sky were all the same color, which made people feel brighter and brighter just looking at it.

The Qingai Lake area is of course not just a Qingai Lake. There is a large wetland within dozens of miles nearby. In addition to the largest Qingai Lake, there are also several small lakes such as Yu Lake and Bibo Lake...

They got off the carriage one mile away from Qingai Lake and walked leisurely up a gentle **** while admiring the scenery. They were surrounded by a large grassland, green and lush, blown by the spring breeze. , making rustling noises from time to time.

When we reached the top of the slope, the front suddenly opened up. A large turquoise lake appeared in front of us. The continuous distant mountains were hazy in the green mist. The mountains and rivers set off each other. Everything in front of us was as beautiful as picturesque. Dreamlike. Nearby, the lake water is as clear and transparent as emerald, with sparse pieces of duckweed floating on the shoal, and dozens of black-necked cranes leisurely strolling on the shoal looking for food and playing...

Unconsciously, they stopped and stared at the scene in front of them without blinking...

“Ayi, it’s so beautiful here!”

Nangong Yue couldn't help but blurt out, she was about to say let's come together again next year, but before she could say the second half of her sentence, she was interrupted by an excited eagle cry, and Xiao Hui spread her wings towards the black-necked birds on the shoal. The crane swooped over, and its cry was much higher than usual. It was obvious that it was in a very excited mood.

As you can imagine, what follows is a flurry of excitement...

As soon as the black-necked cranes saw the birds of prey arriving, they were like mice seeing a cat. They flapped their wings and flew away from the shoal. They fled in all directions, and pieces of black and white feathers fell flying in the air. .

This scene was already familiar to everyone present. Normally, this is how Xiao Hui teases the pigeons at home. For a moment, Thrush didn't know whether to sympathize with these black-necked cranes who had the misfortune to meet Xiao Hui, or to be grateful that they met Xiao Hui. Xiao Hui was used to playing with pigeons and would only play with these black-necked cranes. , at least not really treating them as prey.

It’s just that even Han Yu was ruined by Xiao Hui.

Seeing Han Yu excitedly chasing after those cranes, Nangong Yue felt inexplicably ashamed of Guan Yubai. Her own eagle had brought up other people's children...

Xiao Yi suddenly took her into his arms, bowed his head and winked at her, and said with a smile: "Ah Yue, isn't this quite lively?"

After a pause, he plausibly started to talk nonsense: "Xiao Hui is helping them grow. In the wild, the weak eat the strong. A Yue, haven't you noticed that our pigeons have flown faster since we had Xiao Hui? ?"

Nangong Yue was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

It seems to be true!

Ayi still has so many lies!

She glanced at him with both joy and anger. Xiao Yi looked at Nangong Yue confidently, with a gentle smile in his eyes.

The maids also laughed, and the clear and hearty laughter echoed in the air and did not dissipate for a long time...

The original plan to watch hundreds of birds turned into an "eagle playing with birds" due to the strong participation of Xiao Hui and Han Yu. Nangong Yue had to change the plan temporarily. They originally planned to go to Chongqing Lake ahead. Look, now I think it’s better to let the birds on the other side of Chongqing Lake go.

"Ayi, shall we sit here for a while?"

Nangong Yue suggested, and Xiao Yi agreed without saying a word, then turned his head and looked back with a slight brow.

"Ayi..."

Nangong Yue followed his gaze, and soon she heard the faint sound of horse hoofbeats, as if someone was riding towards this side.

As the sound of horse hooves approached, a green figure riding a brown horse appeared in front. This figure looked a bit familiar. Nangong Yue blurted out: "Fengxing?!"

The visitor came leisurely on a horse with a piece of foxtail in his mouth. He was not Feng Xing!

Huamei twitched at the corner of his mouth, and he was sure why Feng Xing came. Xiao Hui kidnapped An Yihou's Han Yu, which did not attract Xiao Si, but Feng Xing was attracted.

Fengxing obviously saw them too and waved to them enthusiastically as a greeting.

He slowed down his horse and stopped two or three feet away from them. The brown horse was still kicking its hooves and snorted.

"Prince Xiao, you are wrong." Feng Xing turned over and dismounted, and said with a smile, "We humans can't control what happens to the eagles outside, but since Xiao Hui and Han Yu are raised by humans, we must pay attention to them. According to the rules, without the consent of my young master, your little gray abducted my young master's Han Yu. Isn't that an affair without a matchmaker?" He sighed deliberately and said, "Fortunately, the 'big mistake' has not been made yet. Just take Han Yu home, and the matter will be revealed!"

Xiao Yi spread his hands with a smile and said, "Please." With an expression like "If Han Yu is willing to go back with you, I will never stop him."

Feng Xing raised his eyebrows slightly. This Prince Xiao has always liked to talk nonsense, why is he so easy to talk to today? ! Is there some fraud in it? !

Thinking about it, Feng Xing took out a small bamboo whistle from his arms and blew the bamboo whistle.

Not far away, Han Yu was flying at low altitude over the lake, chasing a black-necked crane. When he heard the crisp and bright bamboo whistle, he suddenly flew over and circled twice above Feng Xing's head. It was obviously Recognize him.

"Prince Xiao, then Han Yu and I will say goodbye." Feng Xing casually clasped his fists at Xiao Yi, then jumped onto his horse neatly.

"Hanyu, let's go!"

Fengxing pinched the horse's belly and galloped forward, but he was embarrassed after only running five or six feet away.

Han Yu didn't give any face at all. While calling, he circled twice in mid-air, attracting Xiao Hui. After the two eagles cried a few more times, they swooped toward the lake together. , and went to chase the crane.

The surroundings were silent for a moment, and Feng Xing had no choice but to rein in the horse's rope.

"Pfft——"

Xiao Yi laughed unceremoniously, shrugged and said, "Feng Xing, don't say it was me who got in the way? I didn't do anything."

Looking at Xiao Yi's gloating look, Feng Xing didn't understand that all this might have been expected by Prince Xiao. It's no wonder that the other party was so cheerful just now and kept saying "please".

The corners of Feng Xing's eyes twitched, and he felt embarrassed now. He originally thought that this errand could not be easier, but he patted his chest in front of Young Master and Xiaosi and promised to take Han Yu back. What should he do now? You can't tie Han Yu back, right? Even if he wanted to, Xiaosi would have to chop him with a knife! But if he went back alone in such a dejected manner, he would definitely receive a lot of looks from his mistress!

Thinking about it, Feng Xing smiled. Isn’t this simple? He pulled the horse rope and simply rode back.

Anyway, he said that he would definitely take Han Yu back, so he would just do it sooner or later. When Han Yu gets tired of playing, he will naturally go home with him.

"Prince Xiao, do you have anything to eat here?" Feng Xing said with saliva on his face.

Nangong Yue laughed, and simply ordered the maid to spread a few large oilcloths on the spot, and took out the dry food, snacks, and prepared bird food.

Next, we ate, those who fed the birds, and those who played with the birds played with them until the afternoon, and then returned to the Fang Mansion in Heyu City along the original route.

At this time, it was almost midnight, and the sky in the west was filled with brilliant red clouds.

Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue were not in a hurry to return to Qiwu Garden. Instead, they went to the main courtyard to pay their respects to Mr. Fang.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, a little maid came forward to greet them. After bowing respectfully, she led the two of them to the house and said at the same time: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, your uncle and uncle from the An family. The young master is talking to the old lady in the house." Of course the maid was talking about An Ziang and his son.

Xiao Yi nodded and responded.

The maid led them all the way to the Dongci Room. When relatives met, they naturally greeted each other.

After the five people sat down, An Ziang said to Xiao Yi affectionately: "Your Majesty, I was praising you to my uncle just now! You led our soldiers in Southern Xinjiang to defeat Baiyue and Nanliang, and made great progress for us in Southern Xinjiang. Boost morale, who will dare to attack in the future?"

Xiao Yi responded politely, cupping his fists: "Thank you, cousin, for the compliment."

An Ziang glanced at An Minzhong beside him, and An Minzhong immediately took out a palm-sized wooden box and handed it to An Ziang.

An Ziang said again: "Your Majesty, my cousin is not strong enough to tie a chicken and cannot go to the battlefield to kill the enemies of Southern Xinjiang. However, as a citizen of Southern Xinjiang, my cousin should also do his part for Southern Xinjiang. Here It’s my cousin’s concern for military supplies in southern Xinjiang..."

Everyone present knew what was in this box.

"Then my cousin would like to thank my cousin for his kindness on behalf of the Southern Xinjiang Army." Xiao Yi accepted it unceremoniously.

Southern Xinjiang has been fighting for many years. Whether it is the army, the reconstruction of several cities that once fell to the enemy, or the resettlement of the people who were displaced in the war, money is needed. A lot of money!

Seeing Xiao Yi accept it readily, An Ziang finally breathed a sigh of relief: As long as this nephew is willing to accept this box of banknotes, it means that the An, Fang, and Xiao families still have a chance to repair their relationship!

An Ziang picked up the tea cup on the side and took a sip of hot tea. He couldn't help feeling a little regretful: in recent years, his family had neglected the Fang family because of his uncle's death. Now his cousin, the prince of Zhennan, is in Nannan. Xinjiang's position is stable and flourishing, so I can only do my best to please and mend it, and I have to think of ways to get closer to each other.

He thought quickly in his mind, put down the tea cup, and said with a smile: "Ayi, time flies by. I remember that I went to the palace to attend your full moon banquet. At that time, you were wrapped in a bright red swaddling clothes. , being held in the arms of your mother-in-law, Nanny Lu, the little one... has grown so big in the blink of an eye. Your mother-in-law has a spirit in heaven, and she will surely be happy to see you like you are now. ”

"Nanny Lu?" Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows, seeming to be confused.

Seeing that Xiao Yi was interested in Grandma Lu, An Ziang said: "Ayi, you have no impression of Grandma Lu, right? Grandma Lu is your mother-in-law's wet nurse. Speaking of which, it's better for us to settle down. Sent."

Xiao Yi was just casually testing it to see if his cousin knew anything about Aunt Lu. Unexpectedly, the information the other party gave him was completely beyond his expectation.

A flash of light flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes, and just as he was about to ask again, he heard Mrs. Fang stroking his beard and saying to An Zi'ang sadly: "Zi'ang, when you said it, I also remembered it. I still remember that your aunt had already been there for a long time. The wet nurses were chosen, but who knew that the two wet nurses suddenly developed red rashes all over their bodies, and they deliberately concealed it. Fortunately, a maid in the same room discovered it. But time was tight at that time, and the delivery date was only a few days away. Now that the day has passed, it’s not that fast to choose a wet nurse who knows everything about her. Fortunately, my eldest brother and sister-in-law also prepared a wet nurse and sent them over quickly."

An Ziang smiled even more affectionately and said, "Uncle, my parents are just just in case. I didn't expect it to actually come in handy."

Xiao Yi was still smiling carelessly on the side, but his mood was a little uneven.

If he hadn't been suspicious of the An family yesterday, he might not have taken it to heart after hearing this, but now he has to wonder if this is really just a coincidence?

Nanny Lu poisoned her mother and concubine to death, so what role did the An family play in it?

A layer of dark haze appeared in Xiao Yi's eyes, layer upon layer.

A-Yue speculated yesterday that Baiyue was behind the An family's rise. If this was the case, there was actually another deep reason for the murder of the mother-in-law.

Xiao Yi slowly let go of the clenched fists in his sleeves. He had already ordered Wang Chaoyuan to return to Luoyue City. He just wanted to bring Nanny Lu over as soon as she arrived in Luoyue City. It would be clear by then!

The corners of Xiao Yi's lips seemed to curl into a smile as if nothing had happened.

After Mr. Fang and An Ziang talked for a while, An Ziang wisely stood up and left.

Nangong Yue pursed her lips and smiled. At first glance, this person seemed to be a slippery person who had been in business for many years. On the one hand, he was close to his grandfather and A Yi Tao, but on the other hand, he skillfully controlled the scale of warmth and was not too entangled.

"Ayi," Nangong Yue suggested with a decent smile, "my second brother is getting married soon. Why don't we invite our cousin, cousin and sister-in-law to come to the palace to watch the ceremony? What do you think?"

Xiao Yi responded politely. When An Ziang heard this, he was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Ayi, your cousin and I will definitely go."

This trip is so worth it.

Once the An family appears at the wedding of Second Master Xiao, people outside will naturally know that the prince recognizes the An family as a relative!

After that, An Ziang left happily.

Xiao Yi opened the small box that An Ziang had just given without any hesitation in front of Mr. Fang, and saw ten silver notes placed inside, each worth five thousand taels.

Xiao Yi handed the small box to Mr. Fang and said with a smile: "Grandpa, this is the payment for this batch of iron arrows. You must keep it. ...Look, my grandson said it, right? There is no shortage of money!" He winked to make Old Mrs. Fang happy.

Mr. Fang was amused and laughed again, then asked about their trip to Qingai Lake today.

Xiao Yi explained everything in detail, and even added a certain amount of jealousy. When he talked about Xiao Hui and Han Yu teasing the birds, the old man couldn't help but laugh again...

Time flies by with laughter. Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue spend their days leisurely in Heyu City. They go shopping every day, go horse riding in the countryside, or go hunting with Xiao Hui and Han Yu, playing with the two eagles. Happy to miss Shu. I felt pity for Feng Xing and tried to coax and lie to him, but Han Yu was having fun here and refused to leave with him. He didn't dare to go back and face Xiaosi's stinky face, so he could only continue to stay in Fang Mansion.

After four days of this, Baihui suddenly came in a hurry early in the morning, interrupting Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue who were having breakfast.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty," Baihui said after saluting, "The Chief of Guard Wang sent someone here just now, saying that in the middle of the night yesterday, Aunt Lu bit her tongue and committed suicide while no one was paying attention. Although she was found to be alive in time, her life was In critical condition, I may not be able to speak..."

Baihui finished her words bravely, and the temperature in the room suddenly dropped as she spoke.

Yesterday, Xiao Yi got a letter from Zhu Xing, saying that Wang Chaoyuan had brought Grandma Lu on the way to Heyucheng. Calculating the time, we should arrive early tomorrow morning at the latest. Unexpectedly, something like this happened before anyone arrived.

Nangong Yue took hold of Xiao Yi's left hand under the table and asked: "Baihui, do you know if the severed tongue bitten off by Grandma Lu is still there? Where are they now?"

Baihui hurriedly replied: "Prince Concubine, we have arrived at Huijiang Town. Broken Tongue is still here."

Nangong Yue raised her lips and smiled: "That's good." She shook Xiao Yi's hand, looked at him confidently and said, "It's just a broken tongue, I can naturally fix it."

Although your speaking will definitely not be as good as before after chatting, but so what? All they need is that Nanny Lu can speak!
