Chapter 831 I Keep My Mouth

Zhuang Xianhui was so frightened that her whole body trembled, she lost her balance and fell off the chair.

"what!"

Ning Xuanfeng reacted quickly, stood up from his seat, and stretched out his arms to catch her.

"Be careful, lady."

Zhuang Xianhui was terrified. She stopped and glared at her brother.

"Brother, come in, can someone let me know? It's so abrupt."

"My younger sister is already married, so it might be inconvenient."

Zhuang Wei stood tall and dignified, looking from a high position.

"Did you ask someone to report you when you entered Youqing Mansion? Why do you say I don't follow the rules?"

"Don't change the subject. Who allowed you to talk about your brother behind his back?!"

Zhuang Xianhui's words are concise and to the point.

"I didn't say you favored someone else's wife."

Zhuang Wei held the sword in his hand, his eyes glaring, his voice as fierce as a tiger.

"I only said 'brother', not myself."

"You have two brothers. How do you know that when I scolded you and talked about you behind your back, it was me and not your second brother?"

"You just let it slip, how dare you argue?!"

Frightened of her brother's power, Zhuang Xianhui stepped back repeatedly. Realizing her embarrassing situation was exposed, she took a seat and tried to hide her timidity.

"Your reaction shows that you are guilty. I know who you are referring to."

"If I was talking about my second brother, you wouldn't even be curious, so why would you be angry?"

Zhuang Wei sat down angrily.

"You promised to keep it a secret and not discuss Madam's pre-marriage affairs in front of your family."

"Now, what is this for? Why tell your brother-in-law?"

Zhuang Xianhui argued.

"I'm keeping my mouth shut, so stop slandering me."

Ning Xuanfeng also returned to his seat and asked further questions when he heard something was going on.

"What do you mean, uncle?"

"Before getting married, was my eldest sister-in-law the wife of someone else?"

"You actually like to steal other people's wives?"

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Wei glared at his third sister and questioned her harshly.

"How can you keep your mouth shut? How can you lie to your brother? Your brother-in-law obviously knows!"

Zhuang Xianhui felt wronged.

"You said it yourself, what does it have to do with me?"

Zhuang Wei criticized him.

"What did I say?"

"What are you saying? Tell my brother-in-law that I like to steal other people's wives? Would I say this about myself?"

"It must be you who made unwarranted comments and slandered my brother at will!"

Zhuang Xianhui was displeased.

"You said it yourself. How can a big brother be so unreasonable?"

Ning Xuanfeng spoke up to defend his wife.

"Brother-in-law, you can see clearly that my wife really didn't say anything."

"I interpreted the words and guessed what happened."

The brother-in-law was actually innocent, but Zhuang Wei kept blaming the third sister.

"It's all your fault!"

"Who allowed you to use any means to get my wife to speak?"

"Without your unnecessary actions, there would be no misunderstanding today."

Ning Xuanfeng still protected his wife.

"As the ancients said, don't go beyond what you have said before, and don't do things that are too extreme."

"Brother-in-law is wise. Don't bother with my wife. It happened unintentionally. She didn't mean it."

"Please rest assured, brother-in-law, I will absolutely keep the secret and protect my sister-in-law's reputation."

Knowing that his brother-in-law respected his elders, Zhuang Wei followed his wishes and calmed his anger.

"Well, thank you, brother-in-law."

Ning Xuanfeng smiled awkwardly and made a weak suggestion.

"Now that I have said this, there is no need to be cautious."

"I wonder what the story of 'stealing someone's beloved wife' is? Brother-in-law, why don't you tell me about it?"

Zhuang Wei's anger, which had just subsided, suddenly rose again.

"You are so nosy too? Don't ask about things you shouldn't know."

"I don't have the hobby of 'stealing someone else's wife'!"

It was as if he saw his brother reborn, and Ning Xuanfeng responded meekly.

"Yes, yes, you didn't."

Seeing her husband being wronged, Zhuang Xianhui immediately became angry and pointed at her elder brother in a commanding tone.

"Just blame me, don't scold my husband."

Zhuang Wei glared coldly, full of intimidation.

"Who gave you the courage to teach me how to do things?"

Zhuang Xianhui was afraid, so she held her husband's hand tightly, trying to save face and refusing to show weakness.

"Brother, are you here just to teach us a lesson? That's too much time for you."

After her reminder, Zhuang Wei was shocked.

"I was so angry at you that I completely forgot about the important things."

"Father and mother had an argument. My second brother and I are responsible for comforting mother, and you go to comfort father."

Zhuang Xianhui murmured in dissatisfaction.

"They are also idle, and they just quarrel all day long."

Zhuang Wei corrected him seriously.

"Don't complain."

"I came home from work and had no time to rest before I had to mediate the conflict. I had no complaints. You have nothing to do at home all day, what do you have to complain about?"

Zhuang Xianhui is a bit willful.

"Let them quarrel, you take a rest, why do you have to meddle in other people's business?"

Zhuang Wei looked serious and explained the reason.

"Filial piety means supporting, respecting and obeying one's parents..."

Zhuang Xianhui was annoyed and interrupted him.

"Don't talk about this any more. I have heard it since I was a child and I know what filial piety is."

Zhuang Wei urged and ordered.

“If you understand, do it.”

Since her brother had given the order and she could not refuse, Zhuang Xianhui acted impatient and agreed reluctantly.

"Yes, yes, do it, do it."

She asked casually.

"What are they arguing about this time?"

Zhuang Wei answered.

"King Di Jin learned of our true identity and immediately recruited talented people. Father did not go. For the sake of the overall situation and justice, he chose to continue to stay dormant by the emperor's side."

"Mother thinks that it is too hard for the younger generation to disguise themselves, and their safety is uncertain. She cannot bear it, so she urges father to return to Emperor Yan as soon as possible."

Zhuang Xianhui was slightly surprised.

"They finally had a fight about something that mattered to their lives."

Zhuang Wei blamed.

"What are you talking about? It's as if you're saying that the things they argued about before are all unimportant."

Zhuang Xianhui denied it.

"I didn't say that. It was Big Brother who said it himself."

Zhuang Wei responded sternly.

"You're always bickering and fighting, and you're not doing anything important."

"Go and persuade father quickly."

Zhuang Xianhui behaved obediently but expressed her discontent.

"Go and go."

Ning Xuanfeng followed.

"I'll go as well."

The couple went hand in hand to Sishaoju.

After listening to their persuasion, Fang Zhixuan still did not change his mind.

Zhuang Xianhui expressed doubts.

Fang Zhixuan answered immediately.

"Although my elder sister left a plan, it didn't say explicitly that I couldn't go back because King Di Jin was looking for talents; however, I faked my own death and replaced my younger brother Shao's identity. The original plan of the Fang Clan was to have me lie dormant until the great event was accomplished."

"When King Di Jin came to the world, the elders of the Fang clan changed their plans a little, but they didn't tell me where I was going. Not telling me meant no change. I should follow the original plan and lie dormant until King Di Jin ascended the throne."

"The Fang clan members went there in person, entrusting me with the responsibility. How can I fail to live up to their trust?"

"The above is one of them."

Zhuang Xianhui listened attentively.

"I would like to hear the second one. Please teach me, father."

Fang Zhixuan's discussion is well-organized.

"On the eve of the flower viewing palace banquet this year, we learned from Xi'er that the imperial physician, Lord Lin, had his heart set on Prince Dijin."

"At the flower viewing palace banquet, we tacitly recognized Master Xiaolin."

"Since then, Mr. Xiaolin has cooperated with us on many occasions and helped each other."

"We left without a care in the world, leaving him alone. When the emperor learned of our identities and thought carefully about the past, it was not difficult for him to guess what Lord Xiaolin was aiming for."

"Given the Emperor's ruthlessness, Lord Xiaolin's final outcome may be no different from Emperor Yue's."

"Master Xiaolin and his family are all loyal subjects. How can we put them in danger just to save our own lives?"

"Prince Dijin is kind and can influence the situation, protect Lord Xiaolin and his family, and evacuate the enemy with us. However, the political situation is not yet determined. If we all leave, who will pass on the message for the prince and cooperate with him?"

"Master Xiaolin is only twenty-two years old, but he already knows the pros and cons. Even though the prince was worried and called him back several times, he insisted on enduring humiliation and staying in the enemy camp. Your mother has lived forty-five years in vain, how could she not be as sensible as a youngster?"
