King Jing is the fifth son of the late emperor and he is twenty-eight years old this year.
Among the sons of the late emperor, they were of average appearance and average talent. Their maternal clan was not prominent and they did not interact with many people.
If he hadn't married Wei Wanyi later, Wei Qingyan would have had no impression of him at all.
It's really that King Jing lives too low-key and has no sense of presence.
But such a low-key person suddenly proposed marriage to the General Protector's Mansion in a high-profile manner.
Honest and honest, timid and kind, these are the results that Wei Qingyan came up with after King Jing proposed marriage to Wanyi.
But now, in the middle of the night, this honest man, Prince Jing, actually appeared in the house of her mother, Mrs. Wei Xiao.
King Jing and his mother sat opposite each other, playing chess and making tea, which was very pleasant.
Although there were no words, judging from the relationship between the two, it was definitely not like the relationship between mother-in-law and son-in-law.
What kind of son-in-law would normally show up alone in the yard of his widowed mother-in-law in the middle of the night?
Which mother-in-law would be alone in the same room with her son-in-law?
Wei Qingyan never thought that such a ridiculous thing would happen to his mother.
Is this the reason why my mother stayed in Yongzhou?
Does Wei Wanyi know?
A look of fierceness suddenly appeared in her dark eyes, and she jumped into the room next to her.
Lan Shu hurriedly followed. When she was young, she had met Mrs. Wei Xiao. Seeing the scene in the room, she wondered if she had recognized the wrong person.
But Wei Qingyan's dark expression told her that the woman in the room with joyful features on her face was Mrs. Wei.
I was alone with my son-in-law late at night.
Ridiculous!
Shocking!
Lan Shu was worried about Wei Qingyan.
After hearing the truth that she had been murdered, her mother did not return to Beijing in time to seek justice for her. Instead, she had a leisurely and elegant time with her son-in-law under the lights.
How embarrassed, angry, and miserable the girl must be.
She knew better what the girl would do.
Therefore, before Wei Qingyan took action, she found a few jars of wine and set Mrs. Wei's yard on fire.
King Xu Shijing and Mrs. Wei both knew that their affairs would be shady, so they dismissed all the servants in the courtyard, which made it easier for Lan Shu to do things.
Both of them were talented and brave people. Instead of leaving after setting the fire, they quickly changed into the clothes of the servants of Prince Jing's Mansion.
One went to the servants' room in Prince Jing's Mansion, and the other went to Wei Wanyi's courtyard.
The fire burned very quickly due to the spilled wine, and King Jing and the two of them kept the door tightly closed. By the time they noticed something strange, the entire room outside was already on fire.
The servants screamed outside the courtyard, "The old lady's yard is flooded, please put out the fire quickly..."
The sound was so loud that it almost woke up the entire Prince Jing's Mansion, and the servants rushed over with buckets of water.
Previously, when King Jing came here, his guards would follow him, but recently, King Jing was afraid that Wei Wanyi would be suspicious, so he left his guards outside the study, pretending that he was in the study.
Therefore, when the guards knew that there was a flood here and came to rescue people, someone among the servants already shouted, "Quickly put out the fire. Your Majesty is also in the old lady's yard. Quickly put out the fire..."
The guard didn't care to pursue the man's unbridled words, picked up a bucket of water, poured it over his head, and rushed into the firelight.
Saving people is the most important thing, let the prince handle the rest.
Wei Qingyan mingled in the crowd and watched this scene quietly. Agu acted in a measured manner and would not really burn King Jing and his mother.
As she expected, when Wei Wanyi arrived, both King Jing and Mrs. Wei were rescued. Apart from being a little embarrassed, they were not injured.
"Go and check, how could such a good person escape?" King Jing took the initiative and said angrily, "If I hadn't happened to pass by here and got in in time, my mother would have been in trouble tonight."
He explained to everyone in disguise why he appeared here.
Wei Qingyan ducked into the darkness and his eyes fell on Wei Wanyi.
She was slightly stiff, and then she squeezed out a hint of concern and walked up to Prince Jing and Mrs. Wei, "Prince, mother, are you okay?"
"My king is fine, I'm afraid my mother is a little scared." King Jing said to her in a gentle voice, "Princess, please take my mother to your yard to rest first.
The fire started so fiercely tonight, I'm afraid someone set it on purpose, and I need to investigate. "
Wei Wanyi lowered her eyes and clenched her hands tightly under her sleeves, "I'll leave first. Your Majesty, please be careful."
She turned around first and didn't look at Mrs. Wei again.
In Wei Qingyan's memory, Wei Wanyi had a very close relationship with her mother. When she got married, she would often act coquettishly in her mother's arms.
If in the past, she would have encountered something like this today, she would have dropped the golden beans while carefully checking whether her mother was injured, and then personally supporting her.
Today's abnormality can only be because she doesn't believe what King Jing just said, or she has already discovered what happened between the two of them.
Wei Qingyan also followed Wei Wanyi's yard.
After entering the house, Wei Wanyi waved all the servants out of the house.
"Mother." When mother and daughter were the only two people left in the room, Wei Wanyi called Mrs. Wei, but she didn't say another word for a long time.
She turned her back and her body was shaking violently.
"Wanyi, things are not what you think." Mrs. Wei opened her mouth to explain, feeling a little flustered.
She didn't expect that Wanyi would find out so quickly, twisting the handkerchief tightly with her hands.
Wei Wanyi slowly turned around, tears streaming down her face. She stared at Mrs. Wei, as if waiting for her to continue.
But Mrs. Wei didn't know how to speak.
They have never had any physical contact, but they...
She closed her eyes and said, "Wanyi, you are my mother's life, and my mother will not hurt you."
Wei Wanyi still didn't speak, biting her lip.
It wasn't until blood oozed from her lips that she said, "Has mother also heard about the news about my brother in the capital? My brother did not die in battle, but was killed by an adulterer. As a mother, it's time for you to return to the capital for your brother."
"Wanyi?" Mrs. Wei seemed to have not expected that her daughter would drive her away, and her expression became even more flustered.
Wei Wanyi continued, "At the beginning, my mother wrote a letter saying that Wanyi was the only mother left in this world. Wanyi felt sorry for her mother and went to the capital to pick her up in person, regardless of the fact that she had just given birth.
Now, I will send my mother back in person. My mother will prepare, and we will set off the day after tomorrow. "
"Wanyi, how can you travel a long distance when you are still sick?" Mrs. Wei reached out to grab Wei Wanyi's hand.
Wei Wanyi stepped back and suddenly became hysterical, "Don't touch me, dirty!"
After yelling, she covered her lips with a veil again.
The tears fell silently.
"Wanyi, mother didn't..." Mrs. Wei looked at such a daughter and shed tears, "Wanyi, you believe mother, mother never does, mother has unspeakable difficulties."
Wei Wanyi raised her head, gritted her teeth and asked, "Nothing? Mother tells her daughter, you don't have anything?"
Mother tells her daughter, what are your difficulties? "
"I..." Mrs. Wei's face turned pale and red, red and white again.
He is shy and anxious.
She couldn't give an explanation, so she had to say, "You are not in good health, so you can take care of yourself while your mother goes back by herself."
The tone sounded like coaxing, like pleading.
Wei Wanyi looked at such a mother and broke off her nails, "I used to be happy that my mother favored me, even though I felt sorry for my brother in my heart.
I have never persuaded my mother to be nicer to him, because I was afraid that if she treated my brother better, she would love me less.
But today, I actually feel a little envious of my brother, envious that he has never received the love of his mother, retribution, I am all retribution. "
