Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World - Chapter 696
The Wei family also sent someone to ask Pingping and Lele, not because they suspected that they had kidnapped their son, but just to ask if there was anything unusual that day, and what Wei Xiang had said.
He Zidai was the one they met at that time, and they still remember it deeply. The two children sighed and said, “Brother Xiang cried very sadly, saying that his uncle doesn’t care for him anymore. We don’t want to stay any longer when we see that he is really sad. Why? , is he still sad now?”
The Wei family certainly wouldn’t say that Wei Xiang was lost, but answered vaguely, and Ping Ping also told them to pay more attention to Brother Xiang. He was valued and he would not be sad if he felt loved.
The steward of the Wei family responded with a forced smile, and went back to report. Because of the performance of the two children, no one doubted them.
The wei elephant disappeared like the world disappeared. Wei Chi rarely sees this grandson on weekdays, and his feelings are not deep, but no matter what, it is his grandson, or his grandson, it is impossible to say that he is not distressed.
When he felt distressed, he became angry, so he naturally poured his anger on his son Wei Pi, thinking that if he didn’t care about the child and was too partial, how could Wei Xiang run away from home?
Yes, the Wei family finally characterized the disappearance of Wei Xiang as running away from home.
Otherwise, in the deep courtyard, who could kidnap him silently? He can only go out by himself, although he doesn’t know how he escaped the old ladies and servants of so many sects.
Wei Pi was also so anxious that he wanted to teach his son a lesson. After all, he wrote such a letter to his brother-in-law, and those who didn’t know really thought he was abusing him.
Except for his eldest brother, he has never seen such a pitiful son. In order not to let his son grow up like his eldest brother Wei Cong, he decided to teach him from a young age, but before he could teach him, his son disappeared.
At this time, Wei Pi couldn’t help but reflect on himself. Did he really abuse his son unknowingly, or did Ou Shi abuse his son in a place he couldn’t see? The indifference she showed in front of him was all fake?
No matter how many doubts he has in his mind, the most important thing is to find his son. Wei Xiang is only over five years old. Not to mention the traffickers outside, he can starve people to death even if they are hungry.
So the Wei family started looking for people all over the capital, but Wei Xiang left the capital in a carriage and went all the way to the south.
Pingping and Lele only said what she knew, Grandma Wei couldn’t help sighing, and said to He Zipei and Baolu: “Mother, younger brother and sister, you are a secluded one, and one of you rarely interacts with people in the circle. You only see the surface, but you don’t know how complicated it is.”
She looked down at the two children and said in a low voice, “It’s not enough to say that my second brother and sister abused Brother Xiang, but if you say that she is not responsible, she can’t get away. It’s still difficult for a stepmother. If you have a daughter in the future, don’t marry someone to be the step-in-law. It’s not really a kiss, nor is it a sparse one. My younger brother and sister are evil stepmothers, but I don’t know how complicated it is?”
Wei Pi is Wei Cong’s half-brother, descended from the successor’s family, and has a bad relationship with Wei Cong, but it’s not enough to say how much hatred he has, because Wei Cong has always regarded his father and his grandfather as enemies. Compared with his younger brother, he doesn’t like it at most, and it is not considered an enemy.
However, his younger brother was not very lucky. When he was about to get married, his father was beaten by his elder brother. Not only was his father fired, but their guard house was also implicated and other problems were found out.
In the end, although his father did not go to prison, his family lost a lot of money. In the end, his grandfather was so angry that he lay in bed for two months. The marriage he had promised before was also blown.
It was said before that he was the second son of the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Housing. Although his grandfather had already served, he still had a certain prestige and connections in the court, so the marriage he said was not bad. .
Unfortunately, his father was fired, and the reputation of the Wei family plummeted.
His eldest brother is in his early stage. Not only was he recalled from the mine, but he also entered a good department. He is also a royal family member. Although he has the nickname of Wei Lunzi, his future is not limited.
As we all know, his eldest brother was incompatible with his grandfather and father, so his marriage was even more difficult.
In such a situation, his mother told him a family, the Jiangnan Emperor Shangping. The Heike family also began to decline. They did not have the wealth of the imperial merchants, but they had the philistines and calculations of the merchants.
Wei Pi was very dissatisfied with this marriage, but he still slowly developed some feelings with his daughter-in-law. As a result, his daughter-in-law died after two years because of the problem of having children.
A year later he married Ou Shi of the scholar’s family. Ou’s family background is higher than Ping’s, but she has been literate since she was a child, and she is sensible and has a lot in common with Wei Pi.
So he quickly enjoyed the happiness brought by marriage, and with a wave of his hand, he handed over all the affairs of the back house to her, including his son Wei Xiang.
Wei Cong had a falling out with his father many years ago, and took his daughter-in-law to separate the family. Don’t look at him as the eldest son, except for the dowry left by his mother, he moved out without taking anything.
Because of this, he doesn’t go back to Weifu all year round, and no one goesssips about him. Everyone in the capital knows that their father and son relationship is not good, and people in the circle can vaguely guess why their father and son relationship is not good, even in their hearts. The guards who disagreed could not say anything to blame Wei Cong.
Wei Cong may not care, but Grandma Wei has to think more about her husband. Therefore, even if she doesn’t visit her door in person during festivals, she will give generous gifts to her, trying not to let her husband get in the way.
Because of this, she is a person who has a lot of contacts with Weifu, and she is also a good match for Ou Shi.
Ou Shi is not a kind mother, but she is definitely not a wicked woman. Wei Xiang was only three years old when she married into the Wei family. At that time, the child was small and she was raised to be fat and chubby, very cute.
She is very willing to have a good relationship with Wei Xiang, both intellectually and emotionally. Grandma Wei admits that she still has a good eye for people. At first, Ou Shi and Wei Xiang got along really well. In order to raise her well, Ou Shi learned a lot from her.
At that time, Wei Xiang was raised very delicately, taught to be polite and obedient, and there was no one in the Wei family who disliked him.
But Wei Xiang was surrounded by girls and wives left by his deceased mother. It seems that in order not to let the child forget his biological mother, they began to try their best to prevent Ou Shi from approaching Wei Xiang, even at the expense of Wei Xiang’s illness. On Osh.
At the same time, the new mistress and the old mistress’ confidants also began to fight for various errands and rights in the back house.
Ou Shi’s companion room is naturally Ou Shi, while the maidservant left by the Ping Shi is closely relying on the three-year-old Wei Xiang.
The young Wei Xiang was roasted on the fire, and the people of the Ping family wanted to fight for power and pushed Wei Xiang to the front, but they could not treat him well; and Ou Shi’s companion room was always disturbed and found fault, and could not help but become angry. Also started targeting Weixiang.
Weixiang began to take notes, and what he saw was that his stepmother’s housemate was bullying him in various ways. Naturally, he hated Ou Shi deeply, and his relationship with Ou Shi was even worse.
Grandma Wei sighed: “I don’t know what agreement my second uncle has with the Ping family. It is said that since the back house is handed over to Ou, then Ou has the right to deal with the people left by the first wife, but my second uncle Ou Shi’s hands and feet were bound, and he was probably annoyed by the companions of his former wife, so he just let it go.”
“Brother Xiang is the most innocent of them all. After all, he is only five years old, but this stupid child still listens to the words of the aunties around him, thinking that his uncle is such a good person and loves him very much, that’s why this happened. It’s over.” Grandma Wei said: “The letter sent by Pingping and Leledai was used by Uncle Ping as a handle, forcing my second uncle to give a lot of benefits, so this matter is over.”
“Because of this, no one in the house thought that the child would be in Uncle Ping’s motorcade. After all, he didn’t show as much love for Brother Xiang, how could he take Brother Xiang away after taking the benefits?”
“They were afraid that the Ping family would find out about the disappearance of Brother Xiang and find an excuse again, so they never informed them, let alone sent someone to look for them in their motorcade,” Grandma Wei sighed: “The child of Brother Xiang I just lie in the box, drink cold tea when I’m thirsty, eat a couple of snacks when I’m hungry, just stay in the car for a day and a night, or just knock on the box and climb out because people are in a hurry. Only then did the team members know. of.”
Those tea and snacks were stuffed from the table in Brother Xiang’s room at random, in order to keep him away longer. Who knew that Brother Xiang had been hiding for too long, Uncle Ping parted ways with the convoy a long time ago, and took two entourages to do business elsewhere.
The leader of the Heike family’s team is a steward.
The steward didn’t know what to do when he saw Wei Xiang who had come to the door. Ordinarily, he should have sent the eldest young master back to Wei’s house intact.
But he knew that his master, Young Master Biao, might be able to do another business in his hands. If he sent it back for nothing, the master would not praise him later, and he might even punish him.
So the steward thought and thought, and finally brought Wei Xiang with him, and asked him to tie his uncle to report the matter.
Uncle Ping was a little hard to find, so when the family members who were chasing finally brought back the letter from Uncle Ping, half a month had passed and they were almost back in the capital.
And the Wei Mansion in the capital was gloomy and gloomy, Wei Pi had almost decided that his son was dead, and he was still the kind of person who could not find his body.
He was sad and indignant, and finally had a quarrel with Ou Shi, and then had all the servants serving Wei Xiang tied up, and all those who were not exposed were sent to Zhuangzi to work as coolies.
He knew that Wei Xiang’s matter could not be concealed, so he could only start to push the fault to the Ping family first, otherwise, with Uncle Ping’s temperament, he didn’t know how much he would have to scrape away from him to be satisfied.
After he had dealt with the people left by the Ping family, he admitted that he had no reason to leave it for the Ping family to catch before sending someone to Jiangnan to report the funeral. Then less than half a month later, those who went to report the funeral brought back the deceased Wei Xiang.
