In fact, as long as Wei Baozhu thought about it carefully, he would know that in the eyes of the fourth prince, she was just a prey, not a sweetheart at all.
In the eyes of the fourth prince, power always comes first, otherwise the fourth prince would not have jumped into the Taiye Pond to fish for Wei Jin'er without thinking last time.
However, Wei Baozhu was fascinated by love and thought that the rumors spread by Wei Laner were the work of the fourth prince in order to get Li Qingyi. Under this wave of stimulation, Wei Baozhu just wanted to get rid of her and be quick.
"Wei Baozhu may have hooked up with the fourth prince."
"ah?"
Li Qingyi's thoughts jumped so fast that Chang Lan couldn't keep up for a while.
"Even if the fourth prince can't marry Wei Jin'er, he won't marry Wei Baozhu, right?"
"Then it depends on what position Wei Baozhu and the fourth prince are seeking. She is the legitimate daughter of the second wife of the Minister of Civil Affairs. She cannot be the main concubine, but she can be the side concubine. If the fourth prince can promise her the position of side concubine, you can Guess if Wei Baozhu is so obsessed with him, will he agree to help the fourth prince win over the Wei family?"
Chang Lan shook his head, "Why does the fourth prince believe that Wei Baozhu can help him win over the Wei family? Wei Shicheng can do something to his own daughter. If Wei Baozhu dares to have anything with the fourth prince in private, he will definitely die!"
Li Qingyi smiled and said: "Whether Wei Baozhu can do it is actually not important to the fourth prince, but if she wholeheartedly wants to help the fourth prince, there are so many things she can do. She will be more useful than a character like Xiao Tao, right?"
Chang Lan frowned: "But if I were the fourth prince and Wei Baozhu came to surrender, regardless of whether she is useful or not, I would first doubt her intentions."
"You're right. If I were the fourth prince, I wouldn't believe it easily, so Wei Baozhu wants to make a declaration of surrender!"
As Li Qingyi spoke, he straightened up, and what he had not understood before suddenly became clear.
"Wei Xueying's fate is the vote of surrender that Wei Baozhu made for the fourth prince!"
Changlan looked at Li Qingyi in shock, "This...how is this possible?"
"How is it impossible? Assuming that our guess is correct, Wei Baozhu is the mastermind behind this incident. She used Wei Xueying's death to frame me. The most fundamental problem is that the life of Wei Xueying, a concubine with a third wife, has no bearing on Wei Xueying. As far as the orb is concerned, it is nothing at all. In order to surrender to the Fourth Prince, she killed her sisters of the same race and personally handed her information to the Fourth Prince, which shows her sincerity."
Sure enough, people who have been suppressed for a long time will rebound more strongly.
Wei Baozhu always wears a smiling mask like the second lady, but once she exerts her strength, she is even crazier than Wei Jiner and Wei Laner.
Li Qingyi couldn't help but chuckle: "The human heart is not as good as a snake swallowing an elephant. With Wei Baozhu's methods, he can think of a hundred ways to kill Wei Xueying without being discovered, but she wants to take the opportunity to drag me into the water..."
Chang Lan didn't know what to say anymore. The Wei family was really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Didn't they all grow up being cunning?
"Although Wei Baozhu's pledge of surrender was established, Xiao Tao lost it. The fourth prince will probably doubt Wei Baozhu's ability to do things!"
If Dongchang had subordinates like this, they would have been kicked to the west a long time ago!
Li Qingyi stood up and brushed his skirt, "We don't care what the fourth prince thinks. Wei Baozhu lost his face in my hands. I'm afraid he will get it back in my hands."
"Then what should we do? Just wait for her to take action?"
"If our inference is correct, Wei Baozhu will definitely find an opportunity to meet with the Fourth Prince to explain Xiao Tao's matter. This is a good opportunity to verify this matter. Keep an eye on Wei Baozhu and don't worry about other things."
"Yes, I will definitely take care of it!"
Chang Lan couldn't wait to ask for confirmation before Heng Wu spoke.
"Girl, after listening to this for a long time, I still don't understand something...Old Madam Wei tortured Xiao Tao, and she obviously found out about Xiao Tao's unusual behavior. She didn't dig deeper, but she guessed that there was someone behind Xiao Tao, so she didn't dare to act rashly. , then does she know that this person is the Fourth Prince?"
The descendants of the Wei family are not prosperous, but even a granddaughter is a very important resource in the eyes of Mrs. Wei. It is impossible for her to not care about Wei Xueying's death.
To put it another way, even if Mrs. Wei doesn't care about the life or death of her concubine's granddaughter, doesn't she not blame or get angry at the person who secretly causes trouble?
For those in authority, the most intolerable thing is things that are out of their control.
But after the old lady tortured Xiao Tao, she stopped. Does she no longer intend to pursue the case, or does she not dare to pursue it?
Li Qingyi looked at Heng Wu with admiration.
Heng Wu was killed as soon as she entered the Wei Mansion in her previous life, and he was unable to experience the dark time in the Wei Mansion with her.
So although Li Qingyi knew that Heng Wu was attentive, he didn't know that she was so attentive.
"You are right. Mrs. Wei must have noticed that Xiao Tao's identity was unusual, so on the day Xiao Tao died, Wei Shicheng stayed in Mrs. Wei's yard for a long time. Mother and son must have been discussing the matter."
Now that Xiao Tao is dead, Mrs. Wei makes no next move and comforts Aunt Jiang. Everyone just pretends that nothing has been found out during the interrogation. Aunt Jiang has received enough compensation and does not continue to make trouble.
"So Mrs. Wei and Mr. Wei are pretending not to know!"
Li Qingyi thought, "Wei Shicheng is very scheming. He will not understand the principle that eggs cannot be put in one basket, but on the surface he must show absolute loyalty to the queen. But behind the scenes, if someone can befriend the fourth prince, it may not be... A way out. What if? What if Concubine Mu and the Fourth Prince win in the end?"
If Wei Baozhu's collusion with the fourth prince was discovered by the Queen's people, Wei Shicheng could completely say that he was negligent and failed to discipline the younger members of the family, causing them to have delusional thoughts. He then killed Wei Baozhu with a knife, and the Queen would not hold him accountable.
But if the queen and prince were defeated and the fourth prince took over, this would be the Wei family's escape route.
Therefore, Mrs. Wei and Wei Shicheng may not have discovered what Wei Baozhu did, but they hid it for her.
Heng Wu took a slow breath, "If Wei Xueying dies and the girl fails to prove her innocence, what will the Wei family do?"
Li Qingyi sneered: "If I become the murderer of Wei Xueying, the Wei family will not take my life. Wei Shicheng will choose not to pursue it for the sake of my mother, but I will owe the Wei family a huge favor." , and even more so, I owe the Wei family a life! For the rest of my life, I’m afraid I will have to bear Wei Xueying’s death and work for the Wei family!”
Heng Wu was still frightened, "Not only the girl, but also the entire Li family will be controlled by the Wei family..."
"Hmph, no matter how things develop, it's Wei Shicheng, the old fox, who takes advantage! But will I let him take advantage of him? Wei Baozhu wants to kill me, will I not fight back?"
