The situation in the Wei Mansion has been reported to Li Qingyi.
Wei Shicheng did not go to see Mrs. Wei immediately, it must be because the matter had not been finalized, and the mother and son could not discuss the outcome even after they met.
"Wei Shicheng said that if he went to pay his respects in the morning, he must be trying to find out who Wei Baozhu's man was. Making a decision without knowing the truth was not Wei Shicheng's style. Mrs. Wei was so angry that she even forgot to pursue the matter. She That son will not neglect this."
What Li Qingyi wanted to take advantage of was the time difference in the second half of the night.
She had carefully calculated the time when Ruan went to Zhuangzi to find Doctor Wang, the time when Li Yong went to find Ruan, the time when he got drunk, and the time when Wei Baozhu left Li's house.
She looked up at the sky, which was almost about to break, and said, "It's about to break."
In such a short period of time, even if Wei Shicheng found out clearly, he would not be able to stop the fourth prince from entering the palace early in the morning to ask for the marriage decree.
After listening to Li Qingyi's words, Changlan suddenly laughed and said: "This Wei Baozhu is really like what the girl said. She is smart at one moment and confused at the other. Just now, the girl used Zhao Qi to act in the scene, and she really believed that it was done by the Wei family. !」
"She believed it because she had such worries in her heart. We were just acting out what she was thinking. What's more, she was forced to this point, even her life was not guaranteed, and her mind was no longer at all. Qingming, how can she think clearly in a short period of time? By the time she understands, what she needs to do will be done."
She looked at Changlan, suddenly lowered her voice and asked quietly: "How are the second uncle and second aunt doing?"
Wei Baozhu is just a young man, and there is no need for the Li family to join the battle. Li Yong and Ruan have already gone back to discuss their own affairs as husband and wife.
Chang Lan touched his nose and felt a little embarrassed. Hearing the conversation between the couple, it seemed a bit strange, but the girl was worried and asked her to listen "a little".
She didn't know how to measure "a little", so she wandered around the house and came back when she heard that the two of them didn't quarrel.
"I didn't hear any big noise. The two of them were talking quite peacefully."
"That's good. The second aunt didn't hide it on purpose. The second uncle probably feels guilty too. It's good that they didn't quarrel. After this, maybe the relationship between the two of them can be further improved."
*****
Dawn breaks.
The crisp air came in through the doors and windows, and the girls and women who got up early started stroking their hands and started their busy day.
Except for a few personal servants in front of the master, no one in the Wei family was aware of what happened last night.
The third lady, Mrs. Guo, came out of the house with dark eyes and yawned.
The servants were startled when they saw her.
The third master, Wei Shiqian, hangs out in his aunt's yard all the year round, so the third lady never has to get up early to serve him. He only needs to go to the old lady at the right time to say hello.
Why did you get up so early today? He looked like he hadn't slept well.
Is it possible that the third master wants to take a concubine again, and the third lady is unhappy?
Lian Yu, the eldest girl next to Guo, came back from making tea and was startled to see her standing at the door: "Why are you getting up, madam?"
Mrs. Guo waved her hand, turned around and sat down in the room with a gloomy look on her face, "Is there anything going on over there, Madam?"
Lian Yu knew she would ask and replied: "I have been paying attention. The old lady wanted to see the elder last night. The elder was busy with official duties and did not come. He said he would come this morning to have breakfast with the old lady."
Guo said curiously: "He's not in a hurry, maybe he doesn't know yet, right?"
Lian Yu shook his head: "I think it's impossible. Although the old lady is in charge of the affairs of the inner house, there is no way she wouldn't know about such a big matter. The second girl is the legitimate daughter of the second wife, and a legitimate daughter just disappears out of thin air, so she has to There are countermeasures..."
This kind of thing is not uncommon in wealthy families, and even the servants like them know how to deal with it.
Either he would declare to the outside world that he was seriously ill and died suddenly, and he would never be seen again.
Or send the person back to his hometown, wait until the news is over, and then find a suitable match to marry him. At least it can be of some use.
Now the second girl is detained
If she can't come back, it's not impossible to find someone to take her identity and send her back to her hometown.
The important thing is...
"Does the old lady really give up on the second girl like this?"
"Who knows?"
Mrs. Guo rubbed her forehead. She and Ms. Lin were not on good terms. First, they had different family backgrounds and were not from the same place. The second is that they don't get along in temperament and dislike each other. The third reason is due to the conflict of interests.
But what happened last night was not a pleasant thing even if it happened to a mortal enemy. What's more, it didn't happen to Lin, but to her daughter.
Mrs. Guo felt even more confused.
It's not like she's having a heart attack.
After all, Wei Baozhu was a girl in the house and a legitimate daughter, so she was left alone outside.
If something happens to the people in their third room one day, will they end up like Wei Baozhu and be abandoned by the Wei family?
at the same time.
In the Heyan Hall, Wei Shicheng was also talking about this, "No matter what, people must be brought back first, otherwise, people's hearts will be chilled."
Mrs. Wei's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. She obviously regarded this incident as a great shame and humiliation. "These two girls actually secretly made a lifelong contract with someone. They are just as virtuous as that dead mother of hers! I just don't know who this wild man is." Who! ruined my plan! Damn it!"
She didn't know that at this stall, the "wild man" she called had already received the imperial edict granting marriage.
She still vented her anger in front of her eldest son, "I think this girl is no longer useful! It's better to die for a hundred years, and then find a concubine to take her place, go back to her hometown to avoid the limelight, and then bring her back after a few years, and then she can take her place." It’s not the same as marrying off and contributing to the family!”
"Mother."
Wei Shicheng's voice was slightly hoarse, and his eyes under the backlight could not see the light or dark, but his face was exceptionally serious and cold.
The room seemed a bit colder than before.
Mrs. Wei raised her head and saw his face, her expression froze, and the muscles on her face could not help but spasm a few times.
This was the son she gave birth to. How could she not understand that he blamed her for being good at making decisions?
"I do this for the good of the Wei family!"
"I know."
Wei Shicheng stood up, walked to the window and turned his back to his mother. He said in a slow voice, "How could I not know my mother's thoughts, but you underestimate Li Yong too much. Since he has already arrived in front of the emperor, he is destined to have some trouble." As a result, this time to alert the enemy will inevitably ruin the long-term plan."
Mrs. Wei looked surprised, "I heard what you said, are you always guarding against him becoming an official?"
"That's right, but my son didn't expect that Qin Zeng would help him and even personally introduce him to the emperor."
Without Qin Zeng, he would definitely prevent Li Yong from seeing the emperor in his life.
Since he couldn't stop it, he had to change his strategy.
Who would have thought that Lin's mother and daughter would cause trouble for the Li family one after another, and the person behind it was his most assured mother!
Women do bad things! new
"Even so, Li Yong has just become an official, so how can he compare with your years of management in the court? What's so scary?" Mrs. Wei argued forcefully.
Wei Shicheng turned around abruptly, his eyes fixed on Mrs. Wei's face as if they were real.
