The conversation between Zhang Chunhua and Wang Yuanji was clearly understood by Sima Shi, who was hiding outside the window. He finally understood that his father had known for a long time that the person who killed his uncle Sima Lang was not his mother, but Zhao Rui.

All these confirm my previous intuitive judgment:

My father is not a ruthless person, and the reason he does this is to protect his mother.

Just as he was feeling glad and relieved about this, the sound of knocking on the eaves of the window suddenly came from above his head.

Sima Shi instinctively looked up, but found that Wang Yuanji held his chin with his forehand and looked down at him with a smile:

"Brother Ziyuan, are you not tired after squatting down there for so long?"

Only then did Sima Shi, who realized that he had been discovered, had to stand up while being embarrassed, and smiled desperately at Wang Yuanji. Seeing that Sima Shi had been hiding under the eaves of the window and eavesdropping, Zhang Chunhua called him into the house:

"You heard what we said just now?"

"Mother, are you right now? If it's true, what's going on?"

At this time, Sima Shi was about to ask the reason for this matter. According to Sima Yi and Zhang Chunhua's original intention, he did not want his children to know the truth, but Zhang Chunhua believed that since Sima Shi already knew, he could not hide it anymore, so he had to tell him all the whole story.

“So that’s what it is…”

Sima Shi, who felt that he was blinded, sat on the edge of the bed:

"Although I have long noticed that something is strange about this, and I know that my father will never be so cruel to you, but I didn't expect that things would be so complicated..."

But Sima Shi was also happy for his mother:

"But that's good. After all, you and your father have already made up their past grudges and have made up as before. I would be very happy if Zhaodi knew this news."

At this moment, Wang Yuanji stopped him from thinking:

"We can't tell Sima Zhao at the moment. This matter can only be limited to the four of us, including the general."

"Why?"

Sima Shi did not understand why Wang Yuanji did not let Sima Zhao know the truth, because once he knew about this, it would definitely play a crucial role in easing the relationship between him and Sima Yi, but Sima Yi only asked that Sima Zhao should not be informed, which made Sima Shi puzzled.

It was not only Sima Shi who could not understand this, but even Wang Yuanji, who conveyed Sima Yi's intention, could not guess what he was thinking. Zhang Chunhua seemed to have vaguely guessed Sima Yi's intention, but he was not very sure.

In this way, Sima Shi, in accordance with the requirements of Wang Yuanji and Zhang Chunhua, took this as he did not think of what he saw and heard today, and he did not mention it to his wife Xiahou Hui after returning home.

Of course, the same is true for Sima Zhao...

After serving Sima Yi to fall asleep at night, when Mrs. Bai was asleep at the time of Hai, she quietly came to the courtyard, took out a piece of cloth from her sleeve bag and secretly stuffed it to the bottom of the rockery, and then quietly returned to the room.

After a while, a servant from Wuyang Hou Mansion sneaked to the rockery. Seeing that there was no one around, he reached out and took out the cloth that Mrs. Bai had previously placed from the cracks of the rockery, and then slipped out of the back door of the Hou Mansion, and passed the news to Huan Fan.

Huan Fan and Zhao Rui read the content written on the cloth one after another, and also learned the incompatibility between Sima Yi and Zhang Chunhua. Although Zhao Rui was not 100% deceived, she generally believed that the truth would not be much worse:

"I originally wanted to kill her, but now it seems that it might be better to keep her and make her more painful..."

But what Huan Fan was not paying attention to was not these petty things. He promptly captured a detail that interests him very much from what Mrs. Bai wrote in the letter:

Since Sima Zhao returned to Wuyang Hou Mansion, his relationship with Sima Yi has deteriorated.

"In the previous message Zhuge Liang asked Linghu Yu to bring me was to remind me that if I wanted to deal with Sima Yi, Sima Zhao would be a very worthy piece of chess piece. Now it seems that Sima Zhao is really worth my use of it."

After saying that, Huan Fan put the cloth on the candlelight and lit it. After the flames swallowed most of the cloth, he let go of his hand and made the cloth fall into the brazier, which quickly turned into a pile of black and gray.

Using Sima Zhao to deal with Sima Yi and causing their families to kill each other was a pleasure for Zhao Rui, but she still remained suspicious of the possibility of the plan:

"It would be best if this could be done, but Sima Zhao is Sima Yi's biological son after all, but is it really possible to ask him to help us deal with his biological father? Moreover, I remember that there is a deep hatred between you and Zhuge Liang. He should hate you to the core, so why should he help you?"

"Because the person who stands in front of Zhuge Liang is not me, Zhuge Liang failed in the first four Northern Expeditions. Although he only had direct confrontation with Sima Yi once, he knew very well. At present, Sima Yi is the only one who can have the strength to stop him. Besides, he would not be so kind to help me, he just borrowed my hand to get rid of Sima Yi..."

Huan Fan could roughly guess Zhuge Liang's intentions, and as for how to use Sima Zhao, Huan Fan also had his own considerations: "The time is not yet ripe, and I will not rashly contact him directly, but I can use the rifts of their father and son's relationship to guide him to follow the route I set for him, just like manipulating a puppet to make him obey my mercy, and then become my killer weapon against Sima Yi without his knowledge..."

The day after the storm subsided, Sima Yi ordered Sima Kui, who was in charge of foreign affairs in the Marquis' Mansion on behalf of Sima Fu, to prepare to welcome the team to go to the Marquis' Mansion to welcome Wang Yuanji. His pomp was very large and almost no difference from the wedding.

In order to show his importance to Wang Yuanji and protect Wang Yuanji from encountering any unexpected situations on his way, Sima Yi also made his ingenious request to replace him and Fu Ruoxin and head to Lanling Hou Mansion with the welcome team.

Wang Yuanji didn't expect that Sima Yi would greet her with such heavy etiquette. She originally wanted to take the salute to Wuyang Hou Mansion alone for about a month, and wait until the matter came to an end before coming back quietly. She didn't want to make the matter so big.

However, when she walked to the door with a bow, she saw such a situation and was so scared that she couldn't speak. It took her a long time to recover and stammered at Xiahou Hui who was standing beside her:

"Sister-in-law, this...is this..."

Xiahou Hui is a smart woman who knows a lot and knows how to deal with people. She smiled and said to Wang Yuanji:

"My brother and sister-in-law, your father and mother attach great importance to you, otherwise how could I, the eldest daughter-in-law, come to greet you in person?"

When he heard Xiahou Hui call him younger siblings, Wang Yuanji could only squeeze out a dry smile:

"Sister-in-law, I haven't..."

Before she could finish her words, Xiahou Hui wisely interrupted her:

"I know, are you trying to say that you haven't married to us, right? But you just called me one by one..."

“That’s different…”

In fact, long before the marriage contract between Wang Yuanji and Sima Zhao was established, every time Wang Yuanji saw Xiahou Hui at Zhang Chunhua, he respected Sima Shi as his brother, so he called Xiahou Hui "sister-in-law" for the sake of convenience. But now the same title was spoken from his mouth again, and Xiahou Hui's deliberate misinterpretation made Wang Yuanji feel that it was wrong.

But there was nowhere to wait for Wang Yuanji to defend herself. Just as her mind was blank, Xiahou Hui had already pulled her to the side of the car:

"Okay, okay, my father and wife are still waiting in the mansion."

Wang Yuanji didn't even have the chance to say goodbye to her father Wang Su...

Wang Su, who was standing at the door of the mansion, watched the team move away, didn't know what his approach meant and what kind of future it would bring to Wang Yuanji's life. He couldn't help but ask himself silently in his heart:

"Father, is it right or wrong for me to do this?"

The frames that greeted Wang Yuanji along the way looked very eye-catching, attracting many passers-by.

Some people with good things couldn't help but go up to inquire:

"Isn't this a man from Wuyang Hou Mansion? Who are the generals going to welcome?"

At this time, some people started to make random guesses, some said that Sima Shi was going to take a concubine again, and some said that Sima Zhao wanted to get a wife. In short, there are all kinds of statements about Wuhua North Gate.

Just when Wang Yuanji avoided this, Xiahou Hui raised the car account and said:

"Don't guess randomly. It's Sima Zhao, the general's second son, to welcome his wife who has not passed away to the family."

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but sigh:

Wang Yuanji is really lucky to be able to receive the attention and love of her future husband...

But these made Wang Yuanji feel ashamed. Her blushing cheeks were as hot as a red soldering iron. She quickly put down the car tent and looked at Xiahou Hui sitting opposite her with dissatisfaction:

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

Xiahou Hui smiled and said:

"Sister Yuan Ji, don't be angry. Who made my father and mother pay so much attention to you? When I married into the Sima family, I didn't receive such treatment. I also felt it was new and I couldn't help but feel a little proud..."

In fact, all of these were instructed by Sima Yi before Xiahou Hui left Wuyang Hou Mansion. The purpose was to make the matter of Wang Yuanji living in the Sima family publicly, so as to use this matter to attract the attention of Zhao Rui and "Liu Ji".

Early in the morning, Sima Kui, who had not yet woken up, was woken up by the noise of the servants in the mansion. He was completely sleepy and he finished his clothes and washed up and pushed open the door and walked out. Sima Kui, who was directing his servants to do things, passed by the door of his room, so he stopped him and asked:

"Uncle Fourth, what happened at home? Why is it noisy?"

Sima Kui couldn't help laughing when he saw Sima Zhao's ignorant look:

"What? Today is the day to welcome your fiancée to live in the house. Don't you, your future husband, know?"

"What? You said Wang Yuanji wants to live in our house?"

"Hey! You guys are so rude to do things, be careful not to knock them over!"

At this moment, Sima Kui packed up the servants in the east wing and almost knocked over the family, so he did not discuss it in detail with Sima Zhao:

"I'll go and do something, let's talk about it later..."

After saying that, Sima Kui left Sima Zhao and quickly walked towards the east wing close to Sima Zhao's bedroom. Sima Zhao, whose mind was blank, still didn't understand what was going on, so he went to his brother Sima Shi to ask for details.

From Sima Shi, he learned the whole story, that is, Fu Ruoxin invited Wang Yuanji to the mansion to be a guest to express his gratitude for her taking care of Zhang Chunhua for so long and taking risks to rescue Sima Zhao.

"But even so, what are you doing to clean up the east wing?"

Sima Shi's answer made Sima Zhao even more confused. Just when he had not fully understood and was still confused, the team that welcomed Wang Yuanji had already reached the gate.

Seeing that the person had arrived, Sima Shi patted his shoulder and said:

"It just so happened that the person has arrived. Do you have any questions and ask her yourself later..."

So Sima Shi took Sima Zhao's arm and walked to the main entrance to greet Wang Yuanji. At this time, Sima Yi, Fu Ruoxin and Mrs. Bai were already standing at the gate. All the servants standing behind them were dressed neatly, respectfully bowing to Wang Yuanji who had just walked out of the carriage and said:

"Welcome to Miss Yuanji..."

This scene made Wang Yuanji feel extremely uncomfortable, but she had no choice but to walk to Sima Yi and Fu, accompanied by Xiahou Hui, and saluted in front of the two wives of Bai:

"Yuan Ji pays homage to the general, Mrs. Fu, Mrs. Bai..."

Although there are few opportunities to get in touch with Wang Yuanji, Fu Ruoxin fell in love with this child at first sight. She hurriedly stepped forward and helped Wang Yuanji up:

"Come on, Miss Yuanji, thank you for coming to me as my invitation."

"Where is it, Yuan Ji is grateful to the wife for her kind invitation, so why wouldn't she come?"

While talking to Fu Ruoxin, Wang Yuanji also looked at Sima Zhao, who was standing next to her for a brief moment. She realized how surprised and confused he looked at her, but she had no time to explain to him at this time.

Just as Sima Zhao had a lot of questions and wanted to confide in Wang Yuanji, Sima Shi, who was standing beside him, whispered:
To be continued...
