The Wei family also sent someone to ask Pingping and Lele, not because they suspected that they had abducted their son, but simply to ask if there was anything unusual that day and what Wei Xiang had said.

He Zipei was the person they met at that time, and now I still remember it deeply. The two children sighed and said, "Brother Xiang cried very sadly, saying that his uncle doesn't love him anymore. We can't keep him when we see him really sad. Why? , is he still sad now?"

Of course the Wei family would not say that Wei Xiang was lost, they just responded vaguely, and Ping Ping also told them to take care of Brother Xiang more, because he was valued, and he would not be sad if he felt the love.

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.

Wei Xiang disappeared as if it had disappeared from the world. Wei Chi rarely sees this grandson on weekdays, and he doesn't have deep feelings for him, but no matter what, he is still his grandson, and he is still a direct grandson. It is impossible not to feel sorry for him.

He got angry when he felt distressed, and naturally vented 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 Wei Xiang's disappearance as running away from home.

Otherwise, from the deep house, who can kidnap him quietly? He could only go out by himself, although he didn't know what method he used to avoid so many women and servants.

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. Those who didn't know really thought he was abusing him.

Except for his elder brother, he had never seen such a cheating son. In order to prevent his son from cheating like his elder brother Wei Cong when he grew up, he decided to teach him from an early age, but before he had time to teach, his son disappeared.

At this time, Wei Pi couldn't help but reflect on himself. Could it be that he abused his son unknowingly, or that Ou Shi abused his son in a place where he could not see? The indifference she showed in front of him was all fake?

No matter how many doubts he has in his mind, the most urgent thing is to find his son, Wei Xiang is only five years old, not to mention the human traffickers outside, even if he is hungry, he can starve to death.

So the Wei family began to search for people all over the capital, but Wei Xiang had already left the capital in a carriage and headed south.

Pingping and Lele only talked about what they knew, Grandma Wei couldn't help sighing, and said to He Zipei and Baolu: "Teacher's mother, younger siblings, one of you lives in seclusion, and the other rarely interacts with people in the circle. You only see the surface, but you really don’t know how complicated it is inside.”

She looked down at the two children, and said in a low voice: "If you say that my second younger sibling abused Brother Xiang, it's not enough, but if you say that she is not responsible, she can't get away. This matter... well, let's talk about it." It’s still difficult for the stepmother. When you have a daughter in the future, don’t marry someone to be your stepmother. It’s true that you are not close, nor is it distant. Pingping and Lele have a good relationship with Brother Xiang, so they knew that they started from Brother Xiang. Brother and sister are evil stepmothers, but I don’t know how complicated things are?”

Wei Pi is Wei Cong's half-brother, he is the son of his step-wife, and he has a bad relationship with Wei Cong, but it's hard to say how much enmity there is, because Wei Cong has always regarded his father and his grandfather as enemies, The younger brother who is so much younger than him doesn't like it at most, and it's not enough to make him an enemy.

But his younger brother was not very lucky, his father was beaten by his elder brother when he was about to get engaged, not only his father was dismissed, but they were also implicated in the Weifu to find out other problems.

In the end, although his father was not imprisoned, the family also lost a lot of money. In the end, his grandfather was so angry that he lay on the bed for two months. The marriage he had promised before also fell through.

When he was talking about marriage before, he was the second son of Zuo Shilang of the household department. Although his grandfather has retired, he still has a certain prestige and connections in the court, so he said that the marriage is not bad. The future father-in-law is the fourth-rank magistrate .

It's a pity that his father was dismissed, and the Wei family's reputation has plummeted.

His eldest brother is in his early years, not only recalled from the mine, but also entered a good department, and is a relative of the emperor. Although he has the nickname Wei Crazy, his future is limitless.

As we all know, his eldest brother was incompatible with his grandfather and father, so his marriage was even more difficult.

Under such circumstances, his mother told him a relative, Jiangnan Huangshang Ping's family. The Ping family also began to go downhill. They did not have the wealth of the imperial merchants, but they had the philistines and schemes of the merchants.

Wei Pi was very dissatisfied with this marriage, but he still slowly cultivated some feelings with his wife. As a result, his wife died after two years because of the problem of having a child.

A year later he married Ou Shi from the scholarly family. Ou's family background is higher than that of Ping's, but she has been able to read and understand since she was a child, and she 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 wife 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 never went back to the Wei Mansion all year round, and no one gossiped about him. Everyone in the capital knew that their father-son relationship was not good, and everyone in the circle could vaguely guess why their father-son relationship was not good. The Taoists who disagreed could not say anything to blame Wei Cong.

Wei Cong may not care about it, but Grandma Wei has to think more about her husband, so every festive season, even if she doesn't come to the door in person, she will prepare a generous gift and try not to catch her husband.

Because of this, she is considered to be a person who has a lot of contacts with Weifu, and she gets along well with Ou Shi.

Ou Shi is not considered a loving 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 young, and he was raised fat and cute, very cute.

No matter from the rational or emotional point of view, she is very willing to have a good relationship with Wei Xiang. Grandma Wei thinks she still has two eyes on 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, well-behaved and obedient, and there was no one in the Wei Mansion who didn't like him.

But Wei Xiang was surrounded by maids and women left by his late mother. It seemed that in order not to let the child forget his biological mother, they began to try their best to prevent Ou Shi from getting close to Wei Xiang, even at the expense of making Wei Xiang ill. On Ou Shi.

At the same time, the confidants of the new mistress and the old mistress also began to fight for various errands and rights in the back house.

Ou Shi's companion is naturally Ou Shi, while Ping's maid stays close to the three-year-old Wei Xiang.

The young Wei Xiang was roasted on the fire. People from the Ping family wanted to fight for power and pushed Wei Xiang to the front, but they couldn't treat him kindly; while Ou Shi's companion was always disturbed and found fault, and he couldn't help but become angry from embarrassment Also began to target Weixiang.

Wei Xiang started to remember things, and what he saw was that his stepmother's companion bullied 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 Always obstructing it, Ou Shi's hands and feet were bound, maybe he was annoyed by the companions of the first wife, so he let it go."

"Brother Xiang is the most innocent among them. After all, he is only five years old. However, this silly boy still listens to the words of the nuns around him, thinking that his uncle is such a good person and loves him very much. That's why this incident happened. It's over." Grandma Wei said: "The letter sent by Pingping and Lele was used by Uncle Ping to force my second uncle to give a lot of benefits, so this matter is over."

"Because of this, no one in the family thought that the child would be in Uncle Ping's motorcade. After all, he didn't love Brother Xiang as much as he showed. How could he take Brother Xiang away after taking the benefits?"

"They were afraid that the Ping family would find an excuse to speak up again when they found out about Brother Xiang's disappearance, so they never informed them, let alone sent anyone to look for them in their convoy," Grandma Wei sighed, "That kid like Brother Xiang I just lay in the box all the time, drank cold tea when I was thirsty, and ate two snacks when I was hungry. I just stayed in the car for a day and a night, and only then did I open the box and climb out because I was in a hurry. Only then did the people in the team know of."

Pingping and Lele stuffed those tea and snacks from the table in Brother Xiang's room, in order to let him hide for a longer time. Unexpectedly, Brother Xiang had been hiding for too long. Uncle Ping parted ways with the convoy a long time ago, and took two entourages to detour to do business elsewhere.

In Heike's convoy, the master is a steward.

The steward saw Wei Xiang coming to his door and didn't know what to do. Normally, he should send the young master back to Wei's house intact.

But he knew that his master, Master Biao, might be able to start another business in his hands. If he just sent it back for nothing, the master would not praise him later, and might even punish him.

So the steward thought and thought, and finally brought Wei Xiang with him, and at the same time asked someone to catch up with Uncle Ping and report the matter.

Uncle Ping was a little hard to find, so when the chasing servants finally brought back Uncle Ping's letter, half a month had passed, and they were almost returning to the capital.

But the Wei Mansion in the capital was gloomy, and Wei Pi almost believed that his son was dead, and it was the kind of death where the body could not be found.

He was sad and angry, and finally had a quarrel with Ou Shi, and then he had all the servants who served Wei Xiang tied up, and all the ones who didn't reveal themselves were demoted to the Zhuangzi to work as coolies.

He knew that there was no way to hide Wei Xiang's matter, so he could only blame the Ping family first, otherwise, with Uncle Ping's temperament, he would have to take away so many things from him to be satisfied.

After he had dealt with the people left by the Ping family, and thought he had no clue for the Ping family to catch, he sent someone to Jiangnan to report the funeral. Then in less than half a month, the people who went to report the funeral brought back the dead elephant.
