Taking the sword out of the bag and waving it, Wei Changying knew that it was three-feet long. As usual, it weighed three jin and twelve liang.

This sword was quite expensive.

The head of the sword was made from gold and cast in the shape of Ruyi Jade. As a weapon, the sword had no hollows or spikes, different from the sword decorated on the waist of the men of literature. The handle was made from ivory, wrapped in sharkskin, decorated with Luminous Pearl. The handguard was made from pure gold, engraving the scenery of the mountains and river. The scabbard was made from ebony wood, no color or decoration, embedded the ambitious name of the sword with colorful bloodstones:

Lu Hu!

Wei Changying recognized at a glance the bloodstones above, which resembled those on her hair clasp that was given by Madam Su. They should come from the same piece of bloodstone. Perhaps it was made from the leftover materials of her hair clasp. After all, for gentlefolks, the bloodstones produced by western tribes were very rare.

Measuring by the appearance, laymen would estimate that it deserved thousands of dollars.

Her future father-in-law was one of the senior commanders in Great Vi, the successor to Duke Yongding, and the Grand Preceptor in charge of the Shen Family in Western Liang! The sword cherished by such a character had its advantages, even if it was not as famous as Gan Jiang or Mo Ye.

Wei Changying had practiced martial arts for many years, and her best was the sword technique. However, the people who practiced martial arts had a nearly instinctive interest in good weapons.

It was the beloved sword of Shen Xuan, the family head of the Shen Family, which was famous for its martial arts. Only thinking of this name would make her eyes shine. She had been playing with it for a long time. Under the long-awaited hope of Mrs. He and others, she slightly pressed the spring! With a slight click, the sword Lu Hu was drawn out of the scabbard.

Although in the daytime, the sword light shined like the cold moon in the autumn, penetrating the eyes.

Wei Changying took a deep breath, held the sword handle, and said to the maidservant beside her, "Retreat away!"

Mrs. He hurriedly led the maidservants to the corner and saw Wei Changying's wrist lightly shaken, like a splash of the moonlight. When they looked again, the three-foot sword that had been completely off the sheath was across Wei Changying's chest. The blade light was moving like a living creature. The sword body was engraved with layers of auspicious clouds, like the purest water, gentle, but with an unstoppable edge!

Seeing this scene, even the layman couldn't help but praise it sincerely, "Good sword!"

"It is said that Grand Preceptor cherished this sword very much, but it is now given to First Miss, showing how much Grand Preceptor loves First Miss!" Mrs. He was not only a layman but also had no interest in swords. Although the sword Lu Hu was excellent, if it had not been Shen Xuan who had arranged Shen Cangfeng to deliver it to Fengzhou and present it to Wei Changying, she would have been indifferent to it.

However, because she was concerned for Wei Changying, Mrs. He now thought this sword was excellent. What if she didn’t know anything about the sword? Anyway, Mrs. He had now determined that the best sword was Lu Hu! No others!

After all, when Shen Cangfeng had blatantly claimed to be the son-in-law of the Wei Family, Mrs. He was still a bit inaccurate. But now the sword Lu Hu had been sent to the Xianshuang Court, implying that the marriage was definitely determined!

Because...

The sword hadn't been sent to Xianshuang Court yet, but Fengzhou already knew it. People said that Shen Xuan, one of the senior commanders of the Great Vi, Duke Yongding, Grand Preceptor, Western Liang’s Family Head, deeply appreciated the third daughter-in-law who hadn't married to his family. Besides, immediately after the rumor was spread in the capital that Wei Changying's innocence was lost, he immediately dispatched his brother Count Xiangning and Wei Changying's fiance Shen Cangfeng to rush to Fengzhou, giving his future daughter-in-law the sword Lu Hu to express his own attitude!

At the same time, Wei Shigu, another well-known celebrity besides Wei Zhengya in the Wei Family, wrote an essay on the matter, full of rhetoric and allusions. The critical point was that under the name of Wei Shigu, this essay immediately spread throughout Fengzhou, and the merchants and stations passing by quickly spread it to the distance.

The central idea of the essay written by Wei Shigu was the praise of the Shen Family's honesty and integrity, including Shen Xuan's heroic act of arranging his son to give the sword. Of course, Wei Shigu would never forget to take this opportunity to flatter Wei Changying, who had killed the assassin leader, saved her younger brother, and shielded her cousin to escape. He praised her as the anti-Hu heroine and condemned the shamelessness of the northern tribes. He expressed his condolences to Wei Zhengya, another victim of the Wei Family, who passed away prematurely. He also criticized the ignorance of the people who were exploited by others. Finally, he looked forward to the future and wished the Great Vi prosperity and peacefulness.

The essay was brilliant and the words were profound. Regardless of whether other people believed it or not, the Wei Family firmly believed the so-called tale that the northern tribes sneaked into Fengzhou and caused a series of things was exactly the truth.

Such a good essay must be shared with guests from far away.

At the welcome banquet that night, Wei Huan asked Wei Changfeng, the grandson accompanied by him, to elocute Wei Shigu's unmarked essay for everyone, and then sincerely thanked Shen Zhou again, "The northern tribes are shameless. After they failed their assassination, they should slander the fame of a young lady! What is more hateful is that the people of our country even believe such ridiculous words! Although righteous people are always righteous, my granddaughter, who has been living in our family for a long time, is too young to bear such a rumor! But now Danxiao and Cangfeng are so kind to help us after a long journey!"

Then he said, "I propose a toast to wish our families prosperity and happiness!"

Shen Zhou had beaten his nephew in private, so he had a mixed feeling now. But at this time, he could only raise the wine cup with a smile, saying, "Your grandson's fame has already been related to our couple. When she suffers grievances, how can I ignore it? This is the responsibility of the Shen Family, how can you say the word "help"? Mr. Wei has thanked me so much. I would like to take this toast and wish the Wei Family prosperity for a long time! "

"Please!"

"Please!"

Both of them bottomed up, covering their cups with the sleeves. The atmosphere was warm and friendly. Everyone enjoyed the essay.

In this case, how could the Shen Family ask for the renunciation of marriage again?

So Mrs. He now was so excited that she would even laugh in the dream!

Without answering Mrs. He’s words, Wei Changying held the sword and took a few waves, feeling chilly in the room. She stretched her fingers to flick the sword body, only to hear the buzzing sound, and the sound of the edge of the blade was stronger. When she was very satisfying for the sword, a thought suddenly came to mind, "After Shen Cangfeng put the hat off that day, he looked really cruel... like this sword Lu Hu!"

With a red face, she gave a backhand and put the sword into the scabbard with a clattering sound, saying, "The space in the room is too small... When the rain stops, I will go to the yard and try it again."

Then, she put the long sword back in the bag that parcelled it up when it was sent in. Half in the way, she was a bit reluctant and touched it again... Mrs. He laughed, "Now this sword belongs to First Miss, you can take a look or have a touch as your will. Why are you so reluctant as if you are afraid that it will fly away?"

Hearing that, Wei Changying blushed even more. She felt embarrassed because she had just thought that Shen Cangfeng was like the sword and that now she behaved reluctantly. She withdrew her hands and pretended to be normal, saying, "Granny, you can put it aside. I feel hot after waving it for a while."

After saying that, Wei Changying seemed to blush increasingly. In order to prove her words, she even raised her sleeves to fan.

Mrs. He held the bag. Since she was very concerned about Wei Changying, she resolutely told Qin'ge, "First Miss felt hot. Open the window."

Saving face was no good!

Now it had already been in late autumn, and it had been raining for several days. People outside had changed warmer clothes. Wei Changying was in the inner room with doors and windows closed, so she was still wearing thin clothes. She was afraid that she might be ridiculed to think of Shen Cangfeng when seeing the sword Lu Hu, so she pretended to be hot as an excuse. But Mrs. He took it seriously. So she had to stand in the cold wind for a long time. Days ago, she had been sick because she had been so angry then that she couldn’t eat or drink for two days and nights. Now, she would cough in the evening after being in the wind for so long.

Mrs. He sent Doctor Ji away and blamed herself, "Why didn't I remind First Miss to close the window earlier? On such a day, First Miss's clothes are so thin, and she was in the wind for half an hour. How can I do that?"

Wei Changying was lying on the couch feebly with a hot veil on her forehead. Hearing that, she felt both funny and annoying. Being so guilty, she was afraid that her cover-up would be seen through, so she struggled to support herself in the freezing autumn wind. The window was closed until she was really unbearable. Since she was restless, how could she know that she had been in the wind for half an hour?

After she tortured herself like that, it would have been abnormal if she hadn't coughed!

Fortunately, it was just a slight cold. Doctor Ji only prescribed a spirit-quieting decoction and asked the kitchen to boil thick ginger soup. He said that after drinking ginger soup and then taking spirit-quieting decoction, she would almost recover when she woke up.

The next day her cough stopped, and Wei Changying quickly changed her clothes. Yesterday, she had suffered from freezing. Today, when it was time to pay respect in the afternoon, she was still worried about the cold autumn wind when she went out. So she returned and let Qin'ge pull out a cloak from the suitcase and put it on.

When she arrived at the courtyard of Old Madam Song, only passing the arched door, she saw two cousins Wei Gaochan and Wei Changyan standing on the gallery with maidservants, as if waiting for someone to inform.

It was the first time that she and her cousins met each other after their meeting in the Duke Jingping Mansion to express their condolences. A few days ago, Wei Changying asked the old Madam for leave because of her sickness, which was, to some extent, due to the two cousins. At the moment, the three of them were slightly startled.

Wei Changying felt nothing because she had even cut the white damask and experienced the deadlock, so she was always opener than them. Besides, the situation turned better because the Shen Family not only did not break off the engagement but also sent a sword to support her. Although she was not as ecstatic as Mrs. He and tried to maintain restraint, her mood was also excellent. So she didn't intend to punish the two cousins. After being stunned for a while, she immediately turned her eyes away.

Compared with her, Wei Gaochan and Wei Changyan were embarrassed. They helplessly watched Wei Changying. Seeing that Wei Changying led the maidservants and passed them by without a greeting or a look, they couldn't help but call her, "Third sister!"

Wei Changying walked five or six steps forward until she reached the door, and then she stood still and turned her head indifferently, "What's the matter?"

"Nothing... Emm..." Wei Changying didn't care for them too much, but she was gentle and kind enough that she always met their requests. Wei Changyan had never been treated coldly like that. At this moment, she felt panic and grievance, thinking, "Third sister... are you hating us?"

Seeing that Wei Changyan couldn't tell the reason to stop her, Wei Changying was going to go directly. Wei Gaochan said hurriedly, "Third Sister, we... we just want to congratulate you!"

As long as Wei Changying answered, even if it would be ironic or cynical, Wei Gaochan and Wei Changyan had been prepared to suffer it. After all, they were cousins. If they begged her as younger cousins, and the third sister was not vicious... As long as she answered, they could take the chance to ask for her forgiveness...

Anyway, it would be better than being completely ignored...

Wei Gaochan's bright eyes were filled with pleading and guilt, but Wei Changying didn't seem to hear her words. She asked the guarding Shuangzhu, "The grandmother is inside? Awake or not? I will go inside first."

Shuangzhu also pretended that nothing had happened in the gallery. She said with a smile, "Old Madam is talking with a Granny coming far away. First Miss, you happen to come now!"

Wei Changying said, "Which Granny?" She did not intend to ask Shuangzhu. When saying, she had crossed the threshold and walked in.

Wei Gaochan originally wanted to catch her up. After she ran two steps with her skirt carried in the hands, Shuangzhu stopped her with a smile, "Old Madam is busy now. Fourth Miss and Fifth Miss, please wait for a moment."

The smile was as gentle and diligent as when treating Wei Changying, but the attitude of preventing them from entering was very firm.
