Gong Mingcheng didn't know what his brother saw, but he could guess something through the conversation between the two.
He was worried about how to explain to the world how Gong Minglou, who was in the capital, knew about Huangshaling. He was even more worried that there was no evidence, so Gong Minglou started to publicize it to his classmates, whether it would bring disaster to the Gong family.
Hearing Wei Qingyan's words, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, I was curious, "How does the girl know about Huangshaling?"
Gong Minglu also looked over.
Wei Qingyan lowered his eyes slightly, "This is the scene before Wei Qingyan died."
But Gong Minglu didn't know that the man standing on the mountain of corpses holding a silver spear was not the real general protecting the country, but Abu.
After watching two scenes in a row, Gong Minglu now completely believed him, "General Wei also has a grudge?"
Yes, she also has her resentments.
Not wanting to talk to the Gong brothers, she smiled lightly and said, "You two go back first. Later I will accompany Yan Lan to visit Mrs. Gong and stay in your mansion for a few days."
Today is the day of Wu Yuchu's funeral. Although the eldest sister brought people to Wu's house to ask for an explanation, she would not really stop him from being buried.
For an official's wife to show her face and lead people to make trouble in the Wu family, this was the limit, and she could not do anything to prevent people from being buried.
I will return home at most around 9 a.m. - 11 a.m.
It would be inconvenient for too many people to know about resolving their father's grievances. Seeing that Wei Qingyan was covering up for them, the brothers said gratefully, "Thank you, girl."
Wei Qingyan didn't answer, so the two of them didn't ask any more questions.
However, Gong Mingcheng's heart sank again. He could make his brother cry like that. The battle in Huangshaling would only be more tragic than imagined. I don't know if his family, Shiran, would be able to bear it if he knew about it.
After they left, Wei Qingyan went to Yan Lan and told her to pack some luggage and that they would need to stay at Gong's house for a few days.
After that, she went back to her room.
Spread out the white cloth, hold the pen in your left hand and dip it in ink, gently lift your sleeve with your right hand, and write regular script on the cloth with the other hand.
At noon (10 a.m.), Du Xueyi came over to inform Wei Shiran and the others that they had left the Wu family.
Wei Qingyan's hand didn't stop, and he said lightly, "How is Luo Congyun?"
Du Xueyi replied, "When I heard that Luo Chengzhou was dead, I cried and wanted to complain, saying that I wanted the emperor to arrest King Rong to avenge Luo Chengzhou.
Luo's mother was a fool, and she made trouble with her, so Mrs. Wu ordered someone to watch them.
Luo Chengzhou's body is now also on display in the Wu Mansion. Officials have inspected it and found that the wound was indeed caused by suicide.
However, the Luo family and the Wu family insisted that they were assassinated, so the government could only accept the case. They symbolically went to Prince Rong's Mansion and asked us. There was no evidence at all, so they should wait for the victim to withdraw the case on his own.
When Mrs. Gong and her party passed by, Mrs. Wu only brought her children and cried, saying that someone framed the Wu family, first assassinating Wu Yuchu, and then framed the Wu family with the blood letter. "
When Du Xueyi said this, his eyes were full of admiration.
The aftermath of the general's assassination was really clean, leaving no clues for them.
"Could Luo Congyun really be a child of the royal family if she is so stupid? It seems that Mrs. Wu has no intention of revealing her identity yet."
"It doesn't matter, the fox always shows its tail sometimes." Wei Qingyan finished writing the last stroke, put down the pen, and fanned the ink with his hand.
She wanted to see how long Mrs. Wu could endure it.
Du Xueyi responded, walked to her, saw the content on the cloth, and his expression changed drastically. Before he could speak, he was stopped by Wei Qingyan, "Don't ask, you don't have to interfere in this matter."
"Yes." Du Xueyi was not so firm this time. He understood that the general did not want to implicate him.
The general has the general's considerations, and he obeys the order.
Seeing the emperor's attitude in the early morning, he understood better why the general killed Wu Yuchu directly instead of keeping him as a witness in the Huangshaling incident.
The emperor did not want to investigate further. Even if Wu Yuchu was sent to the official position, he was just a pawn. In the end, he would either become a scapegoat, or he would not admit it at all, or he would prey on others.
The general's resurrection from the dead is too bizarre. Whether others will believe it or not, the people behind the scenes will definitely not let the general go. And with the 80,000 national defense troops finally obtained, I am afraid that the emperor will not want the general to return.
The general could only find another way.
As the two talked, the guards came to report and the carriage was ready.
Wei Qingyan carried his luggage, rolled up the things he had written before, and took them into the carriage.
When Gong Mingcheng returned home, he asked people to clean up the guest house.
Except for the two brothers and their respective wives, not even the brothers Gong Jun, Gong Jin, or Gong Jun's wife were informed about the resolution of their grievances.
It was only said to the outside world that relatives from Wei Shiran's natal family came to stay at the house for a few days.
When Wei Qingyan arrived at the Gong Mansion, several insiders of the Gong family were waiting in the flower hall.
"Thank you girl for saving my life last night." Wei Shiran thanked her.
That splitting headache, the feeling that her head was about to explode, really made life worse than death. Miss Chang saved her life by helping her relieve pain.
Wei Qingyan saw that the injured area on her forehead was wrapped with white gauze, and she was in slightly better spirits than when she went to Anyuan Hou Mansion yesterday.
Nodding slightly, "No need to say thank you."
This is what she should do.
"Thank you, sister, for saving me." Gong Jin smiled and cupped his hands.
elder sister?
Wei Qingyan choked slightly.
The seniority is wrong.
Seeing that the Gong family members were about to come forward to talk, Wei Qingyan handed the luggage to Yan Lan and said to Wei Shiran, "Madam, please take Yan Lan to settle down."
After a pause, he added, "Madam's body is weak and she still needs to give birth and take care of herself."
Looking into Gong Jin's bright and smiling eyes, he softened his tone and said, "Same, young master."
Ever since she knew that Gong Jin had become her 'filial son', and then met his smiling eyes, she felt some love in her heart.
Maybe this is blood relationship?
She calmed down and looked at Gong Mingcheng, "Take me to your father's yard to see."
The Gong family members also knew that time was running out and dispersed. The Gong family brothers took Wei Qingyan to Gong Changying's yard.
The yard is very clean.
There are no various green rockeries of ordinary official residences, only a bamboo forest.
A pavilion was set up next to the bamboo forest, with a bench and a small table in the pavilion.
Seeing Wei Qingyan walking towards the pavilion, Gong Mingcheng explained, "After my father passed away, we burned some of his clothes and his favorite books, and basically kept the rest for thought.
This pavilion is where my father likes to stay on weekdays. He reads, plays chess, makes tea, or chats with us. We really can’t figure out why he does it. "
Simple and plain, this is Wei Qingyan’s impression of this yard.
Wei Qingyan walked through several more rooms, all of which were like this courtyard, showing the owner's low desires.
What kind of request would a person who seemed to be pure and devoid of desires make before his death, and then would he have such overwhelming resentment after the request was not met?
Looking at the two brothers who looked confused, Wei Qingyan said, "You two must not have slept last night. Go and rest. I will walk around the house alone. I will ask you tomorrow if necessary."
Since the two of them believed her, they did not dare to have other thoughts and left the yard obediently.
At noon, Gong Mingcheng asked his eldest son to bring lunch, and then he waited at the gate of the courtyard.
Wei Qingyan stayed in Gong Changying's study all afternoon. When it got completely dark, she left the yard and seemed to be wandering around Gong's house aimlessly, with Gong Jun following her from a distance.
After visiting Gong Mansion, it was already midnight, and Wei Qingyan motioned to Gong Jun to lead her back to the guest house.
After Gong Jun left, Wei Qingyan quickly went back to the house, changed into a human skin mask, and jumped out of Gong's house with the white cloth covered with writing.
