She has short hands when picking up people, even if that person is her grandmother.
Grandma is a mature woman, she never engages in loss-making business, and she never makes a move easily.
Will she agree?
Wei Baozhu raised his head and looked at Mrs. Wei.
The conditions offered by Mrs. Wei are undoubtedly a huge temptation for Wei Baozhu.
If Wei Baozhu could settle the debt for the Lin family, the entire Lin family would be grateful to her.
There is also a dowry.
When a daughter of the Wei family gets married, a dowry will be paid into the public account. Although it is not too much, it is of course better to keep the money in her own hands, and the income generated by the dowry will also belong to her. If Mrs. Wei's 30% stake in the most valuable shop is added to it, she will not have to do anything in the future, she will have enough food and clothing, and she will never have to fall into the same predicament as her mother!
Such a temptation, Mrs. Lin who is crazy about poverty will not be willing to give up.
Wei Baozhu is also reluctant to give up!
But Wei Baozhu is not stupid either.
She is the granddaughter of the Wei family, and all marriage matters are in the hands of her grandmother. If her grandmother tells her what to do, how can she dare to refuse?
But her grandmother still gave her such great benefits, and why?
Wei Baozhu gradually calmed down, looked at Mrs. Wei and said, "Please grandma please speak clearly."
Mrs. Wei saw that she did not agree immediately, but smiled with satisfaction, seeming to be satisfied with her prudence and stability.
She reached out and fiddled with the half-opened rose, and her aging eyes gradually became filled with coldness, "It's very simple, kill Ruan."
Wei Baozhu was startled and took a few steps back.
Kill Ruan?
Li Qingyi’s second aunt?
She looked at Mrs. Wei in disbelief. Is this simple?
Mrs. Ruan is not a maid, let alone a concubine like Aunt Wen, or even a wife of the Wei family!
She is the only mistress of the Xuandehou Mansion and the head matron of the Li family! She is also the wife of the prince’s young master appointed by the emperor!
It's not impossible to just kill her.
But what happens after killing him?
Her mother just extorted a little money from the Ruan family, but Li Qingyi was like a mad dog and uncovered all the scandals her mother had done hundreds of years ago! In the end, he died!
Grandma must be crazy.
She staggered back a few steps, leaned on the desk, and looked at Mrs. Wei in disbelief.
Mrs. Wei seemed to have expected her reaction. She looked calm and behaved as usual. Not to mention crazy, there was not even a trace of excitement. ..
But since she wasn't crazy, why did she say such a thing to her?
"Grandma, what did you just say?"
Wei Baozhu hoped that he heard wrongly.
Mrs. Wei's fingers passed over the half-opened rose flower, and with a sudden force, she pulled off the huge and beautiful bud. She asked in a tone without any pity, "What, you don't dare?"
The other party's cold words floated out from between his lips and teeth, causing Wei Baozhu to get goosebumps all over his body.
She pursed her lips, trying to relax her tense face.
Looks like grandma wasn't kidding.
Not testing her, not crazy either.
He really wanted her to kill Ruan.
She didn't understand why, why did she want to kill Ruan?
It is true that if Ruan hadn't taken the fake banknote, her mother would not have died at all.
She also wanted to bring misfortune to Ruan, but what reason did her grandmother have?
Even if her grandmother asked her to kill Li Qingyi, it would not be so unbelievable.
If she kills Ruan, she will probably not be able to cope with the consequences.
"Grandma, I don't understand..."
She looked at Mrs. Wei, doubts almost emerging from every pore of her body.
It's not that she doesn't want to kill Ruan, it's just that she doesn't have the ability now. If Ruan dies in her hands, the Li family will definitely skin her alive!
"You don't need to know why, you just need to know that she has to
die. "
Wei Baozhu felt countless chills gathering in her heart, "If my granddaughter can't do it..."
Mrs. Wei looked at the night outside the window and spoke slowly, "You already have such a mother. If you want to live a good life and have a good future in the future, you must rely on the Wei family to plan for you. If The Wei family has given up on you, and you will probably be worse than your mother for the rest of your life."
Finding a "tonic" for the Wei family was not a whim of hers, but she had been planning it for a long time, but she had not found a suitable target.
Now that Li Qingyi has moved into the Wei family, and the Li family is inseparable from her, it's just perfect.
The Li family is like a Yuan-solidifying pill, if she swallows it, the Wei family will be radiant.
But she didn't need to explain all this to Wei Baozhu. Ruan's death had to be kept quiet, and not many people needed to know the inside story.
Wei Baozhu stood quietly in the shadow, looking at Mrs. Wei under the candlelight, but felt that her face at this time was darker than his own.
She didn't know that her grandmother would do anything to achieve her goals.
If you can give birth to a son like your uncle, what kind of good person will you be?
But she still felt terrible.
The other party actually asked his granddaughter to kill someone who had no grievances against the Wei family.
"Grandma, it's not that I don't dare, it's that I can't help it."
Wei Baozhu took two steps irritably, and then said, "If I do this, Li Qingyi will not let me go, Li Yong will not let me go, and the Ruan family will not let me go."
Mrs. Wei looked at her and followed her lead, "So you know this matter, I know it, God knows it, and I won't even tell my son your father about it. And, I will fully support you, as long as you Plan properly and act carefully. Li Qingyi will not know about it, and Li Yong will not know about it. If you want to find Ruan's natal family, you can only find the Li family. When it is done, I will choose a marriage for you. As long as you are willing to marry Wei You can choose any family you want to marry!"
Wei Baozhu looked at her in shock, "But...how can I do it without being noticed?"
She frowned and asked, her voice gradually losing its doubts and hesitation.
She was afraid of the consequences of killing Ruan, not of killing people.
Mrs. Wei's expression grew colder and she walked up to her, "Your mother did a very good job. Didn't you get her true inheritance at all? If you weren't unprepared for Li Qingyi, everything your mother did was perfect. Now you have I know that Li Qingyi is someone who is not easy to mess with. As long as you guard against her, things may not be impossible. Besides, Li Qingyi is just a teenage girl like you. Are you so afraid of her?"
Wei Baozhu also darkened his face, "But the people my mother killed cannot be compared to the Ruan family. The Ruan family is Li Yong's wife, and she is also the royal wife. If the royal wife dies inexplicably, there will be a dedicated person to review these matters. What's more, both the Li family and the Ruan family are so rich. Money can make all the difference. Who knows how much power they have? If I are found out by then, let alone my grandmother giving me these things, even if they are gold and silver, I will No more blessings to enjoy!"
Mrs. Wei disagreed, "So what about the married woman? The Li family has only been in the capital for a few days, how many connections do they have that they can use? Besides, if the court investigates, there must be evidence to do so. Use your brain and let her die." Isn’t that enough if you don’t show any traces? How can I not cover for you? Do you have to let people see the flaw?”
Wei Baozhu bit her lip, "Even if this is the case, why did grandma let me go? Why didn't she find a servant she could trust."
Mrs. Wei shook her head: "No outsiders can know about this matter. At least, the person who did it must be named Wei. He will be both prosperous and devastated with the Wei family. So you'd better not lie to others. If you do, you can't do it afterwards." It must be eliminated immediately!"
She paused and then said: "The reason why I leave it to you is naturally because your mother has already reached out to the Ruan family. It is not surprising and more logical for you to contact the Li family and even hate the Li family. Even if Afterwards, the Li family became suspicious and would not think of other members of the Wei family, such as me."
When Wei Baozhu heard this, his eyes turned cold.
Mrs. Wei said: "You are my granddaughter. To put it bluntly, you are also the property and bargaining chip of my Wei family. As the granddaughter of the Wei family, no matter what
Whichever one you are, you will have to pay for the family in the future, and you, this is what you have to do for the Wei family. If you do it well and retire with success, the Wei family will not make any demands on you anymore. "
Her words, although selfish and cold, were inhumane.
But Wei Baozhu had to admit that she was just telling the truth "clothed" with family affection.
Even if she doesn't agree to this, she will still be manipulated for the sake of her family in the future.
Mrs. Wei looked at her expression and said, "What you are thinking about is just the worst case scenario. Why don't you think about the benefits of getting this thing done? Look at your mother, what she did is shocking. No evidence can be found.”
Wei Baozhu raised his head and looked at her, with extremely complicated emotions in his eyes.
Even though it was just a tool, at least she was told frankly by her grandmother and no longer had to worry about any false affection.
But she still had to think about it carefully.
Because the risk is too great.
If she is not careful, not only will she lose her future, but she will also lose her life like her mother.
Wei Baozhu took a deep breath, adjusted her mind, and said, "Grandma, I want to go back and think about it carefully, and I will give my reply another day."
Madam Wei said noncommittally, "Go ahead."
Wei Baozhu walked slowly to the door, opened it and walked out.
After returning to the second room, Wei Baozhu entered his room and never came out again.
She tossed and turned all night, barely closing her eyes, and kept tossing and turning until dawn. Her ears and mind were filled with Mrs. Wei's words asking her to kill Ruan, as well as the many pros and cons she analyzed.
Of course, there are also the tempting conditions she gave.
Deep down she knew she couldn't do it, but she was deeply worried about her situation.
Even if she can't be with the fourth prince in the future, she has the money and her grandmother's guarantee. Even if she gets married, she can still survive for the rest of her life.
However, if she succeeds in this matter, it will be equivalent to her grandmother having a handle, and she will no longer have to worry about the Wei family in the future!
If you think about it carefully, the benefits are countless.
However, the Ruan family is not from the Wei family. She is in the Li family. If she wants to kill someone quietly and catch traces of the murder under the eyes of all the loyal servants of the Li family, how can she do it?
Wei Baozhu had a splitting headache and stayed up until dawn without realizing it.
The next day, she arrived at Songhe Hall again, looking tired and her eyes were lifeless, but Mrs. Wei just pretended not to see her and didn't mention anything.
*****
Li Qingyi naturally noticed Wei Baozhu's frequent visits to Heyan Hall.
She had been thinking about it over and over for the past two days, and the doubts in her heart had become a little more intense.
Especially when she recalled the past two days, many small things that she had ignored in the past came to her mind little by little.
Li Qingyi knew that Lin's calculation of the Li family's money had attracted Mrs. Wei's attention.
Next, she didn't know what Madam Wei planned.
But the other party will never give up that idea just because the Li family has a tough attitude.
The Wei family has always had a huge appetite!
Look at Mrs. Wei's attitude towards Wei Baozhu in recent days.
Could it be that she wanted Lin's daughter to do this for her in the name of "atonement"?
But what can Wei Baozhu, a young lady who has not left the court, do to the Li family?
