Rebirth: The Gatekeeper

Everyone heard the words, how could they not know what Mrs. Wei Guogong meant?

Some of the ladies were already hiding their veils and sniggering, as if they were laughing at Bei Tangjin who would never be a lady in this lifetime, and the girl who came out of the border gate, with the vulgar taste of the countryside, would not be a lady for a long time!

What's more, this General Yurong will have such a reputation in the future?So what if His Majesty the Emperor bestowed a plaque of "loyalty, filial piety, elegance and sincerity"?Still can't keep everyone's mouths shut, whispering under the hood.

He Lian stared at Mrs. Wei Guogong with a pair of cloudy eyes, and was very angry. The general of the Northern Tang Dynasty Jin, wouldn't he save people at this critical moment and pretend to be a lady?It's just that even though she was angry, she didn't bother to talk to Mrs. Wei Guogong.

Even though the Duke of Wei's mansion is famous, the Helian family doesn't take her seriously.

Madam Xuan Ninghou was annoyed when she heard that, if Bei Tangjin hadn't acted just now, she would have died at the hands of the assassins, and Madam Wei Guogong is still talking sarcastic here!

"Why did Mrs. Wei Guogong forget? Ms. Qing Yu also practiced martial arts since she was a child, and her arrow skills are extremely accurate. Why are you so clumsy today?" You said that Bei Tangjin didn't have the demeanor of a lady, so she was no worse than your daughter. Help, pretend to be a lady!

Bei Tangjin didn't expect Mrs. Xuanninghou to speak for her, but although she was moved, she didn't want Xuanninghou's mansion to be involved. She would rather be humiliated than make Xuanninghou a target!

Therefore, she still smiled and said: "I think there are no bows and arrows here, so my cousin can only stand and worry!" But she did not accept Madam Xuan Ninghou's affection, but spoke for Wang Qingyu.

When everyone heard the words, they all thought that Bei Tangjin had lost his mind?Still didn't understand the sarcasm of Mrs. Wei Guogong just now?

He Lian was very relieved by Madam Xuan Ninghou's words just now, but when she heard Bei Tangjin say this, she gave her a hard look. Why is this girl so stupid? Don't you know that Madam Xuan Ninghou is here to save her from the siege? ?

Wang Yuanxiang originally thought that Bei Tangjin would continue to satirize Mrs. Xuanninghou's words, but she didn't expect her to speak for Mrs. Wei Guogong. What's wrong with this girl?

Mrs. Wei Guo was choked by Mrs. Xuan Ninghou just now and didn't know how to answer. Her face turned pale and she was about to get angry, but she didn't expect Bei Tangjin to speak for her. Could it be that she didn't hear her sarcasm just now?She really is a girl from the countryside, she doesn't turn her head, and she offended Madam Xuan Ninghou at the same time, why is this girl so stupid?

However, since Bei Tangjin gave her a step down, she naturally couldn't let it go, so she said: "What Ajin said is, your sister has never seen today's battle, she has panicked a long time ago, and her martial arts skills have long since panicked." After leaving it behind, where did you think of saving people?"

Mrs. Xuan Ninghou heard that Mrs. Wei Guogong passed by so lightly, she couldn't hide her anger, she really regretted speaking for Bei Tangjin just now!This girl really doesn't know how to praise, she just saw the wrong person!Seeing that she dislikes Xuanninghou's mansion for not being as prestigious as Weiguo's mansion, she wants to climb high!

However, Bei Tangjin didn't care about the anger on Mrs. Xuanninghou's face, but said with a smile: "Auntie is being modest, and Ah Jin will find an opportunity to discuss with her cousin some other day."

Even though Wang Yuanxiang wanted to see Bei Tangjin make a fool of himself, but He Lianshi was watching here. Her natal family would make Helian's displeased when she targeted Bei Tangjin so much, so she immediately smoothed things over and said, "Since everyone is fine, Let's be happy and rejoice!" She said, waving her hands to the people on the left and right, and the singing and dancing on the stage started again.

Bei Tangjin knew that after what happened just now, Mrs. Xuanninghou didn't like her even more, but this was exactly what she wanted. The more distanced Xuanninghou's mansion was from her, the safer it would be, and she would have fewer worries. up.

At the male guests' table, Feng Xitang and Hua Jianyue had returned to the residence early, so they didn't know that the lady from the Beitang residence suddenly disappeared, and they didn't know that there was an assassin at the banquet.

However, the princes are not as idle as he is. They still hope to please Bei Tang Xun and win over this important minister who is in charge of the transfer of soldiers and horses in Daxia. Therefore, when they heard that Bei Tang Yun disappeared suddenly, they all asked about the result and comforted them.

Feng Yan didn't care about the affairs of the ladies of the Beitang Mansion, except of course Beitang Jin, but since the day in Pochen Nunnery, he deliberately made people pay attention to Beitang Yun's every move.

The news of the person who came to report was that Bei Tangyun had rescued another girl, or was bullied by Bei Tangru again, etc. In short, it was some extremely trivial things, but from these trivial things, it can be seen that this cowardly-looking How kind the woman is!

With such a kind and innocent girl, it's no wonder that she wanted to save him that day at the expense of her own life. Fortunately, she was fine, otherwise, he would never be able to let go of it in his life.

However, although Bei Tangyun was timid and cowardly, she was not stupid. How could she suddenly disappear?Even though the final result was to find it, Feng Yan always felt that this matter was very unusual, could it be an internal struggle in the Northern Tang Mansion?This Mrs. Wang finally made a move today?Today, He is the birthday of the old matriarch Lian, so it is indeed very suitable to do it, so it will be known to everyone, wouldn't it save a lot of effort?But, why did it die down like this?No movement after finding someone?

As night fell, the people who came to celebrate the birthday returned to the mansion one after another. Few people noticed that a lady from the Northern Tang Mansion had disappeared on Helian's birthday. They all thought of the assassin who came suddenly. Who was it?He wanted to take action against the Beitang Mansion, but it was just a pretense and no actual action. Isn't such an action intended to scare the snake away?

After all the guests had left, Helian ordered Bei Tangxun, Bei Tang Jin, Wang Yuanxiang and others to go to her yard for questioning.

At this time, only the masters of the Northern Tang Mansion were in the whole house, and the maids and women who were not confidantes were all guarding outside, not allowed to approach, in order not to be heard by others, so as to avoid spreading the family scandal.

He Lian glanced at the people in the room, and saw that Bei Tangru and Bei Tangyun were the only ones missing, so she asked, "Where are those two girls?" Didn't it mean that the fifth girl just twisted her foot, why didn't the fourth girl come? Woolen cloth?Won't you come to see her grandmother if you twist your ankle?Want to put on airs with her?Is she usually too kind?

Beitang Xun saw that Helian's face was not right, and immediately said: "Ah Yun hit her head, and she has not woken up yet, so she didn't come."

"Break your head? Didn't mean you twisted your foot. What's going on?" Helian's voice was indifferent and flat. He glanced at Bei Tang Jin and saw her frowning tightly, so he asked again: " Ah Jin, tell me, what happened?"

Bei Tangjin said cautiously: "When Ah Jin saw Fifth Younger Sister, her head was broken. Therefore, Ah Jin didn't know what happened. Presumably, her parents should know."

Even though she already knew the ins and outs of everything, what happened today cannot be said out of her mouth.

Helian shifted his gaze to Beitang Xun again, and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Bei Tangxun recounted what happened today from beginning to end, including Wang Yuanxiang's maidservant Yaqing having an affair with Wang Ke, how Bei Tangru harmed Bei Tangyun, and Bei Tangyun's astonishing behavior.

Helianshi listened quietly, her complexion getting worse and worse, but she waited until Bei Tang Xun finished speaking, and didn't say a word for a long while, just rolled the Buddhist beads in her hands, closed her eyes, and didn't know what she was thinking.

The whole room fell into a dead silence, Wang Yuanxiang was the most feared person among them, Bei Tang Xun saw everything today, and she couldn't hide it from Helianshi, so she just waited for Helianshi to let her down, and she was heartbroken Uneasy, and even more regretful that he did not speak for Bei Tangru. At this time, the Helian family already knew how miserable Bei Tangru was. If they wanted to bring Bei Tangru back, it would be difficult.

The Helian family is the most respectful person. What happened today is that Yaqing had an affair with Wang Ke, which the Helian family could not tolerate anyway. The second was that Bei Tangru planned to kill Bei Tangyun. Helianshi couldn't tolerate vicious young ladies, so even if Helianshi didn't speak at this time, she could guess the fate of these people, but there were some differences in severity.

"It's all because of my son's negligence in discipline that what happened today made my mother worry." Bei Tang Xun took the lead in apologizing.

Wang Yuanxiang's heart trembled, she almost forgot that she should plead guilty first at this time, so before Helianshi could speak, she immediately knelt down in front of Helianshi.

"Mother, it's because my daughter-in-law is not strict in her education that this happened. If you punish her, you should punish her!" Wang Yuanxiang kowtowed to plead guilty.

Bei Tangfeng couldn't figure out Helian's temper, so even though he wanted to talk, he didn't know what to say, so he just sat there worrying.

Bei Tangjin drank tea with lowered eyes, neither looking at Wang Yuanxiang nor Helian's, just sat upright, keeping herself out of the matter.

Even though today's planning was very smooth, she didn't feel happy or refreshed at all. Not only did today's events exceed her expectations, but more importantly, Xia Sha knew what she wanted, so she might have to deal with it. The Xuanninghou Mansion took action, and she was worried about this matter, so she didn't care at all about how the Helian family would deal with it today.

Helianshi didn't speak just now because she wanted to see Wang Yuanxiang's reaction. Seeing Wang Yuanxiang kneeling in front of her to plead guilty at this moment was also within her expectation, and the anger in her heart didn't lessen.

She suddenly opened those sharp eyes to stare at Wang Yuanxiang, and scolded: "You gave birth to a good daughter, and taught you a good slave! You have completely disgraced the Beitang family!"

Wang Yuanxiang didn't dare to speak, and waited for Helianshi to let out all the anger in his heart, and it would be better to intercede later.

Although He Lianshi was mean and severe, once he lost his temper, he would lose some of his ruthlessness.

Bei Tang Xun didn't dare to speak at this time, he lowered his head and waited for Helianshi to catch his breath before finishing speaking.

However, Helianshi suddenly stopped puffing and puffing, and his voice became a bit calmer. He asked Wang Yuanxiang, "How are you going to deal with them?"

How could Wang Yuanxiang dare to deal with it by himself, and immediately said: "It's all up to the mother! The daughter-in-law dare not complain!"

He Lian snorted, and continued: "Such an unclean slave cannot stay in the Beitang Mansion, let alone marry into the Weiguo Duke's Mansion and attract people's attention! Therefore, this girl has to die to keep Beitang Home's reputation!"

Wang Yuanxiang was taken aback when he heard the words, but quickly regained his composure. He thought that if the news of Yaqing's affair with others spread, it would be bad for his reputation, so he did not plead for Yaqing, but felt that Helian's treatment It was very much to her liking, so she said: "What mother said is that such a person cannot live!"

Wang Yuanxiang spoke obediently, but Helian gave her a stare and warned: "Your maidservant has done such a shameless thing today, you master should reflect on it carefully! Be cautious in your words and deeds, so as not to be People caught the wrong place and lost all the face of the Beitang Mansion!"

Beitang Xun was startled, Helian's meaning was that Yaqing's affair with Wang Ke today was completely acting out, so Wang Yuanxiang...

When he thought of this, he looked at Wang Yuanxiang in a strange way. What he was thinking about was Duke Wei's flirtatious character, and the words about Mrs. Wei Guogong that the family had quietly passed on, and he also thought of Wang Ke's lewd behavior today. He couldn't help thinking that Wang Yuanxiang also came from the Duke's Mansion of the State of Wei. Could it be that today's events are really the same?Did Wang Yuanxiang cuckold him long ago?

Bei Tangfeng was keenly aware of Bei Tang Xun's strange gaze looking at his mother, and then thinking about what his grandmother said just now, it was clear that his mother was like an uncle and aunt, so Yaqing's behavior today is completely imitating her master!

Thinking of this, he was startled, and immediately said: "Grandmother, Yaqing has always been proud, what happened today was completely set up by someone!"

Helianshi didn't expect that there was another mystery to this matter, so he asked: "Been framed? Is there any evidence?"

Bei Tangfeng immediately said: "Although Ah Feng didn't go into that room, he smelled a scent of mist, so he felt that today's matter was not as simple as two people having an affair."

As long as the nature of this matter is changed, then it will be different, framing and adultery are different!

Helianshi was thoughtful, thinking about who framed her, but after a while, she said: "Since there is no evidence, let's deal with this matter like this! Don't say anything else!" But she didn't agree with Bei That's what Tang Feng said just now.

Bei Tangfeng was taken aback, why didn't grandma care at all?Don't you want to catch the people behind the scenes?

Seeing that Bei Tangfeng was so puzzled, Bei Tangjin shook her head secretly. Yaqing was just a maidservant, and it didn't make much difference to Helian whether it was framed by someone or having an affair. Therefore, the people behind this scene were naturally There's no need to go to the trouble of looking it up.As for Yaqing alluding to Wang Yuanxiang's misconduct?

That's not easy to rehabilitate, moreover, the arrogant face of Mrs. Wei Guogong at today's banquet made Helian's extremely displeased, so what she said about Wang Yuanxiang just now was simply angered by Mrs. Wei Guogong.

Even though Helian didn't bother to talk to Mrs. Wei Guogong, it didn't mean she couldn't do anything. In addition, Helian felt that Wang Yuanxiang didn't really respect her as a mother-in-law, so she wanted to find opportunities to make Wang Yuanxiang uncomfortable.

Bei Tangjin raised her eyes and saw Helian's looking at Wang Yuanxiang with strange eyes, and couldn't help thinking of a plan.
