Huo Wei has all the memories of the original owner, and has seen so many costumes and makeup in the previous world, so she has a lot of experience in these. She has been filming for so many years, and she has practiced very good makeup techniques. She learned from the top makeup artists in the world, and she is at home in this ancient world.
Just when the scam of the temple master was exposed, Huo Wei was the most concerned. She ran into two ladies she knew outside. A few words made them dislike their own attire. Afterwards, Huo Wei personally matched the clothes for them , make up for them, dress them up glamorously.
In this way, they became living signs, and the news spread quickly, and girls who were curious or beautiful came to Huo Wei to dress up.
Huo Wei had no money to open a shop, so she entertained them at her own home, and then accompanied them to buy clothes and jewelry. After earning their styling fee, they also get kickbacks from the clothing store to make money on both sides.
Everyone has a love of beauty, not to mention Huo Wei who gives people an extremely fresh feeling. Some people have dressed up at home, but they don't think Huo Wei has good eyesight, so they come to her; some people are very beautiful, but they are not favored, and they also come to Huo Wei for a new look, hoping to make their husband's eyes shine.
In short, there are so many people who come to see Huo Wei, she has so much time every day, she can't take care of it at all, many ladies and ladies have already lined up, waiting to come to Huo Wei to change their looks one by one.
In this way, all the ladies who had been dressed up by Huo Wei were fine, which further proved that Huo Wei was not a broom star at all. Who gets stuck with who is unlucky? It's just nonsense! Then the Li family, maybe they have done too many bad things, so they are so unlucky, right? Before Huo Wei goes back, won't they be able to uncover the pot
The three members of the Li family were directly under the greatest pressure, because they were in the village and saw many villagers every day, and the villagers would not hold back and dare to laugh at them in front of them. The Li family became very angry, and suddenly remembered what Huo Wei said that day, that their Li family would become like this, it was all caused by Lu Jingyun and the Lu family!
This damned Lu Jingyun has a grievance and a debtor. If Lu Jingyun wants to blame, she should also blame the servant who hugged the wrong servant. What did the Li family do? They always thought that they were raising the picked-up child. They were already very worthy of her for raising a picked-up child who was not sick or hurt.
Who would have thought that a white-eyed wolf would be raised in the end, and they didn't even take her to pay back the money, but she used them to vent their anger, what a wolf!
The Li family completely forgot that they accepted the Lu family's money at this moment, they only remembered that Lu Jingyun made them desperate, and put all their hatred on Lu Jingyun.
It's just that Lu Jingyun is going to marry into the Hou's mansion, they dare not do anything, so they have to suppress their hatred and behave with their tails between their legs.
On Huo Wei's side, there are three women in the family, one old woman and two young girls, and they have made a lot of money. In order to pay off his gambling debts, Li's father took a risk and climbed over the wall in the middle of the night to steal Huo Wei's bank notes!
The Huo family was guarded by Lou Ye's secret guards. In addition, Huo Wei also placed a circle of mouse traps at the base of the wall and raised a wolf dog. As soon as Father Li jumped off, he let out a scream and fell to the ground with his legs crossed, and then the wolf dog barked crazily.
Huo Wei turned on the light, supported Granny Huo who got up in a hurry, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, godmother, I've prepared for it, no one can come in."
"Okay." Granny Huo held a knife in her hand. This was a habit she developed when she was young. She kept the knife next to her pillow. She has also experienced these things, and she has survived until now by not wanting to die.
Huo Wei asked Shao Yao to protect Granny Huo, opened a window and lit the oil lamp on the window sill, and didn't go out at all.
"It's pitch black, I can't see anything clearly, I can only see a man being caught." Huo Wei said calmly, and felt more at ease when he found that the man had no accomplices.
All the neighbors turned on the lights, leaned on the wall and asked, "What's the matter? What's the matter? This is it? A thief?"
"Well, please help some uncles and brothers to report to the officials. If I hadn't put the mousetrap, the family would suffer disaster now." Huo Wei clapped her hands, called the wolf dog, and made the dog stop barking.
Li's father heard the words and hurriedly shouted: "Don't report to the officials, don't report, I am not a thief, I am your father."
"I don't know who my father is, so don't misidentify relatives." Huo Wei said coldly, "No matter who it is, it must be uneasy to climb over the wall in the middle of the night. Report to the police!"
"No, no—" Father Li struggled to shout, but no one listened to him.
Now that Huo Wei has the ability and is not a disaster star, the neighbors are willing to get close to her. Immediately, someone comes over with a rope to tie her up and prepares to report to the authorities. It wasn't until Father Li was tied up and pinned to the ground that Huo Wei helped Granny Huo go out and thanked the neighbors.
Father Li begged bitterly: "Don't report to the official, I beg you. I just want to come and see you, knowing that you definitely don't want to see me, so..."
"Stop talking nonsense, look at us as fools, and believe your lies? You want to steal money!" Grandma Huo kicked him, angrily, "You have never raised my Weiwei, how come The face came to the door? You still steal, you wait to go to jail!"
Father Li hurriedly said: "I was wrong, I don't dare anymore, please let me go. I really will never come again, never dare again."
Huo Wei squatted in front of him, stared at him seriously and said, "You can let me let you go. Tell me, who are my parents?"
Father Li was taken aback, and kept shaking his head, "I don't know, I really picked you up in the back mountain of Li's Village, I don't know."
Huo Wei saw that his eyes were dodging a little bit, narrowed his eyes and asked: "When you found me, what clues were there around? Where is my baby? Do I have a token on me? I just want to find my parents, you If you don’t know anything, it’s useless for me, I can only send you to the official.”
"Don't, don't, I said, you were in a basket at the time, a very ordinary basket, and it was thrown away a long time ago. You were wrapped in a piece of cotton cloth, which was nothing special. Come to think of it, that kind of remote place is not People from Lijia Village, you were thrown there when you were born, it must have been done on purpose, how could you leave any clues?"
Father Li said anxiously, "You are living so well now, what kind of parents are you looking for? It has been so long in the past, and I can't find anything. Please let me go, I'm telling the truth, don't let me see you Officer, my daughter-in-law is still lying on the bed waiting for me to take care of her, and my son is still young..."
Huo Wei saw his evasive expression more clearly this time, and decided that he was not telling the truth, so she got up and said to a little brother with a cold snort, "Please help me to go and report to an official. If he can break into my house today, change it." You can break into other people's houses every day, but you have to learn a lesson before you can remember it. Everyone has worked hard today, and I will hold a banquet with my godmother tomorrow to thank everyone."
"Hey, neighbor, why don't you help me out? You're welcome, you're welcome!" The woman next door smiled and waved her hand, urging her son to report to the police.
Seeing that Huo Wei refused to let him go, Father Li cursed angrily, "You bastard with no father or mother, even the Lu family that has raised you for sixteen years doesn't want you. Die badly!"
"What did you say? I told you to say it! You say it again?!" Shao Yao grabbed the broom next to the wall and beat him up. Mr. Broom is not harsh, but it still hurts when it landed on the head and face. Father Li screamed in pain, and could no longer utter swear words.
There is nothing to investigate about Li's father, he just broke into the house to steal things. Since he didn't steal anything, he was sentenced to a maximum of one month in jail. But Huo Wei told Fu Yin that she suspected that Li's father had murdered him for money, otherwise why would he refuse to tell the truth? Why go to her house? At the beginning, Father Li detained her and wanted to sink her into the pond. Who knows whether Father Li came to Huo's house to kill her
She asked the government to check the place where Father Li picked her up, there must be some clues.
Because there was no evidence, only Father Li's evasive words, so Fu Yin didn't take it too seriously, and only sent two officials to take charge of the matter. It has been sixteen years, even if there is any case, there is probably no trace of it.
Huo Wei thought so too, but she still needed to investigate clearly. Father Li came to steal things this time, which just gave her a chance to investigate what happened back then on the grounds that she suspected that Father Li broke into the house and killed her.
It's also a coincidence that these two officials went to Lijia Village to help Huo Wei leave those two. They accompanied Huo Wei and Shaoyao to Li's Village. The first step was to go to Li's house to ask for the baby or something left behind.
This is to fry Li's mother. When she caught Li's father, Li's father was worried that there might be a situation of making up nonsense, and there would be loopholes if Li's father and Li's mother did not check the confession. Sure enough, sixteen years have passed since that incident, and the memories at that time are no longer fresh, and the two people's statements are fundamentally different.
Mother Li said that Father Li went to throw the child away, and then came back soon with Huo Wei in his arms. The child was thrown naked into the field, but Father Li wrapped it in his own clothes, so Huo Wei had nothing.
Li's mother thought she was smart, thinking that saying this would be foolproof, but she never thought that Li's father still had baskets and cotton cloths in his mouth.
This mistake of theirs immediately aroused the suspicion of the officials. They paid more attention to this matter and began to search Li's house.
Mother Li's legs were so frightened that her legs went limp. Ordinary people, even villagers in the village, have never dealt with officials. She cried and begged Huo Wei, "We really didn't harm your parents, please don't wrong us, please."
Huo Wei pretended to be indifferent and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "If you can't find out in the end, I will treat you as killing my parents. I will take revenge on you. What Lu Jingyun can do to you, I can too, if you don’t believe me, let’s try.”
Huo Wei's voice was very cold. It was the feeling that she had played a murderer before. Mother Li was so frightened that her face turned pale!
Mother Li looked at the roof of the kitchen unconsciously, and then looked away pretending to be innocent. After a while, she looked there three times.
Huo Wei walked to the kitchen, looked up and looked around, but found nothing. As soon as Mother Li breathed a sigh of relief, she saw a swallow thumping into it, bumping its head against the corner of the wall, seemed to be dizzy, and then thumped away again.
It doesn't matter whether it flies or not, the important thing is that when it hits, it knocks a little bit of soil off the corner of the wall, exposing the corner of the cloth inside!
Huo Wei immediately asked the officials to come and pick it up, and there was indeed a very old swaddle on it, which was covered with dust. The officials immediately arrested Li's mother. If there was no ghost in his heart, why did he say he didn't have a baby? And the couple also told different lies to cover up the incident.
The two officials went to the place where Li's father said he picked up the child to check. Li's father naturally lied, or sixteen years later, there were no traces, and the two found nothing. They simply escorted Li's mother back and warned Li Zheng that if anyone knew about what happened back then and did not report it, the crime would be aggravated. But if someone reports it, they will be rewarded.
The Li family village is boiling, what's the matter? Was there any inside story about picking up the child? They don't know at all! Everyone began to recall what they were doing back then, and whether they found any abnormalities. As for the reward Huo Wei said, she provided ten taels of silver alone, and if it was a useful clue, the ten taels of silver would go to the whistleblower.
Ten taels of silver is an acre of fertile land for farmers! It may not be so much in a few years, and of course everyone is very excited, and even the people in Li Zheng's family began to recall the events of the year in private.
The strength of a large number of people is not just casual talk. They can not only recall, but also go around the back of the mountain to find any clues.
One of them remembered that when he went to the back mountain and fell down, it was because the soil there was different from the other places. He even scolded, who digs the soil there when they have nothing to do
After he remembered it, he immediately went to the back mountain with his family to look for it. In the past sixteen years, trees, grass, and many things have changed. They searched for three days but couldn't find them. Unexpectedly, there happened to be a heavy rain, and the ground was washed away by the heavy rain. When they went to look for it after the rain, they found a piece of white bone!
The family was terrified and immediately went to Li Zheng.
Li was leading people to dig out the bones buried in the soil, and everyone was terrified. Along with the bones was a jade pendant, which was broken into several pieces and still incomplete. Another hosta was broken into two pieces. The rest is gone.
But even if the villagers have never seen anything good, they will know that this jade pendant is definitely the best jade pendant. The material of the jade hairpin is worse, and it is not something ordinary people can have.
Thinking about someone digging here 16 years ago, Huo Wei was also picked up at that time, and Li's father got up hard and started running around as a peddler. I don't know how he made money, but he made a lot of money anyway. The house of the Li family was repaired, and the land was bought. If the silver taels were taken from this person, wouldn't it just explain it all
The villagers just felt chills, could it be that Li's father murdered and took money
They had been with Father Li for so many years, but they didn't expect him to be a murderer! I'm really glad they weren't killed by Father Li!
Lizheng was also jointly and severally responsible for this kind of incident in the village. He looked extremely ugly, but he went to the capital to report the incident without any delay. So many people in the village saw it, and Huo Wei was still looking for clues with the officials, so they couldn't hide it.
The government quickly sent someone to carry the bones back, and asked Wu for inspection, and the broken jewelry was also sealed up as evidence.
Huo Wei didn't expect that a corpse was buried in the back mountain of Lijia Village, and when she heard the news, her expression became serious. She would rather be abandoned by the original owner's parents than be killed by Li's father. This is too tragic.
She was sitting in a room in the mansion waiting for the result, but after a while, the guard at the door quietly retreated as if under orders, and Lou Ye walked into the room and stood in front of Huo Wei.
"Don't think about it too much. I told the governor to torture and interrogate me, and I will know the truth soon."
Huo Wei is not in a good mood. Although she is not her relative, she always feels uncomfortable when encountering such things. She lowered her head and said, "If there is any grievance, it must be washed away."
"Definitely, I promise." Lou Ye's voice was soft but powerful. He squatted down slowly, met Huo Wei's gaze, and said seriously, "The past will definitely be settled. In the future, with me by your side, I will not let you be wronged again."
Huo Wei looked at him for a while, then laughed, "I know, I believe you."
With the progress of the case, coupled with Lou Ye's instructions, the government's investigation is very fast.
The skeleton had indeed been dead for sixteen years or nearly seventeen years. The female, estimated by the age of the bone, should be in her sixties now. In other words, this woman was nearly fifty years old and had never given birth. Huo Wei was not her child.
The woman broke her leg before she died, and her ribs and spine were hit hard. She should have been severely injured and died of excessive blood loss.
Seeing that the government had dug up the body and found so much information, Father Li hurriedly explained that he really didn't kill anyone, at most he buried a corpse and took the silver and valuables from the woman.
During the torture and interrogation by the government, Li's father revealed everything.
When he went to the back mountain to throw a dead baby, it happened to be raining that day, and the road was slippery. He cursed bad luck while walking, and just wanted to finish his work quickly and go back, but he stumbled while walking!
At that time, he looked up and saw a woman with her eyes wide open. She cried out in fright, and was about to run away. At that moment, he saw the purse next to the woman.
At that time, he was obsessed with ghosts and kicked the woman. Seeing that she was terribly dead, he boldly grabbed the purse and found the gold and silver nudes inside. Those are not many for the nobleman, but it is a windfall for him.
He immediately searched the woman, but unfortunately there was nothing but the broken jade pendant and jade hairpin except the purse.
Afraid of being discovered by others, Father Li hurried home and took farm tools to dig a hole, buried him, and then brought home the crying baby in the basket next to him. He thought that he took the dead man's money and just raised the child. It happened that a stillbirth was very unlucky in the family, so he simply kept the news of the stillbirth a secret.
For this reason, he specially gave the midwife two taels of silver as a hush money. Later, the midwife died of illness, and no one knew about it except him and his wife. Last time, he was also terrified by Huo Wei's orders, so he couldn't help but speak out. It never occurred to me that what happened sixteen years ago was also involved.
He repeatedly assured that he really didn't kill anyone. When he got there, the woman was already dead and the child was crying too weakly. The child was very sick the next day, and his mother forced his wife to take the child to the temple to pray for blessings.
Li's mother's confession could match his, and Li's mother was careful, and kept the purse, thinking that in the future, there might be a rich family coming to find her daughter to recognize her relatives. So later the Lu family came to recognize Lu Jingyun, and said that Huo Wei was also raised in the Lu family, and she agreed immediately. She thought that what happened back then was the secret of the Lu family's back house, and thought that making mistakes was just an excuse, so she didn't dare After asking more questions, I didn't mention these guesses to Father Li.
According to Li's mother's confession, the official messenger took out the purse from the corner of Li's mother's quilt.
The swaddling clothes were really ordinary and ordinary, as if they had picked up a small quilt from a farmer's child outside, and they had nothing to do with it, and there were no clues to investigate.
Huo Wei knew the truth, but she couldn't relax, because the Li family was not the murderer of the woman. The murderer was someone else, and it didn't seem as simple as abandoning her, but someone didn't want her to live.
Lou Ye grew up in the border gate since he was a child, and he didn't know much about the old things in the capital. He could only send someone to investigate to see if he could find out that there was something wrong with a wealthy family who gave birth to a child sixteen years ago.
It is really not easy to investigate what happened so long ago, Huo Wei can only put this matter aside for the time being and wait for the follow-up.
Lu Jingyun has been paying attention to the movement on Huo Wei's side, and she was also extremely shocked.
What does it mean? Is there any secret about Huo Wei's life experience? How can it be
She has always looked down on Huo Wei, because Huo Wei is the peasant girl of the Li family village. She is a dignified daughter of the Lu family, and she is many times more noble than Huo Wei.
But now it is suddenly said that Huo Wei has nothing to do with Lijiacun, and even Huo Wei's mother is very rich. Who is Huo Wei? Will she find her relatives and integrate into the circle again? When they meet at that time, will they be compared for a lifetime like in the previous life? If Huo Wei marries a good family again, will she be overwhelmed by Huo Wei again, and she will never be able to escape this nightmare
But Lu Jingyun had nothing to do about this matter, and the feeling of being out of control came again. She thought that after she was reborn, she planned every step of the way and planned everything one by one. Unexpectedly, everything has deviated from the original track now, only the marriage in the Hou's mansion has not changed, but there is also a sense of elusiveness that cannot be grasped.
Lu Jingyun was a little scared, is this still the world in her previous life? Was she reborn into another world? Why is everything different
She was thinking about it, not knowing that other people were thinking about her too. Although she is a daughter of the Lu family, she was raised by Li's father and Li's mother. To what extent could Li's father do such a thing? What kind of good thing can Lu Jingyun who was raised by Li's father be
Mrs. Hou was especially annoyed. If she knew she should not have agreed to the marriage exchange, what kind of trouble is this exchange? If she had insisted on her son's marriage contract with Huo Wei, the Lu family would not have dared to remove Huo Wei, and would have treated Huo Wei as a daughter of the Lu family to maintain a good relationship.
It's all to blame that Lu Jingyun, who secretly seduced her son, and even did such a shameless thing as giving a handkerchief, so that her son insisted on changing marriages. Now that Huo Wei is still fine, but Lu Jingyun has almost lost her reputation, why is she willing to let Lu Jingyun in
Mrs. Hou thought in her heart, otherwise, if she found a way to add Lu Jingyun to the list given by the monk, then she would be able to withdraw the engagement confidently.
But before she could act, the government got the list of monks confessing. There were at least 50 people above, from the beginning when they were not well-known, they confiscated a lot of money, and later they collected hundreds of taels and thousands of taels. The people on the list have also changed from ordinary people to high-ranking officials. Most of them are fighting in the back house, involving the family members of several officials, and some have left Beijing long ago or passed away.
Because the people involved in the list hurt the reputation of the great family, the list was not made public, but the emperor was so angry that he asked the head eunuch to read the list, reprimanded those officials for their lax management of the family, and ordered them to deal with it themselves.
The officials reprimanded also included Lu Yuan. His daughter turned out to be the only girl on the list who was not out of the cabinet, and the purpose of buying the monk was to harm another girl!
The emperor named him alone, and said coldly: "You are so young and have such vicious thoughts, you have taught me well!"
Lu Yuan was startled, and immediately knelt down on the ground, explaining in cold sweat: "Your Majesty Mingjian, this, this little girl was born in the wrong arms, and she has been raised in the farmhouse, and the minister, the minister only found her back a few months ago. I really don't know that she dared to do such a thing, I..."
"That's enough! So, you don't know right from wrong, and you can't even see through a girl raised by a farmer. How can you be an errand? Come here, except for his official uniform, and escort him back to the mansion. From now on, you will relinquish your official position and think about your mistakes behind closed doors. Don't go out for a month!" The emperor was really angry, and Lu Yuan's defense hit the gun.
Lu Yuan was escorted back to the mansion in this way, naturally countless people were curious, and then they all knew the lie that Lu Jingyun bribed the master to make up orders, the purpose was to drive Huo Wei away and make himself a blessed person.
The first thing Lu Yuan did when he returned home was to rush into Lu Jingyun's room, and slapped her fiercely, "Nie Nu! How dare you destroy my Lu family's foundation!"
Lu Jingyun covered her face and hurriedly backed away, and said in surprise, "Father, what are you doing? How could I do something that is not good for the Lu family?"
"How dare you say it? You wicked person, how smart do you think you are when you bribed that monk to lie to your grandmother? There is no impenetrable wall in this world. If you do something wrong, you will be found out sooner or later. The emperor was furious and picked me up." You are satisfied? Are you satisfied?!" Lu Yuan's eyes were red, wishing to strangle this harmful thing to death. Why was he so confused at the beginning and recognized her back? He should have known a long time ago that a wild child raised outside can do any good!
Feng Shi and Chen Shi who rushed over just heard his words and felt dizzy. Feng Shi grabbed Lu Yuan's hand and asked in disbelief: "The emperor dismissed you from office? Really? Really?!"
Lu Yuan nodded sadly, "Really! Our Lu family is over!"
Feng's eyes went dark, and his body went limp and fell down. Mrs. Chen hurriedly asked someone to carry the old lady to the bed and asked the doctor to come and see her. After the old lady settled down, she threw herself on Lu Jingyun and started a fight, crying, "You bastard, how dare you? How dare you? You don't have enough food and clothes at home? You have to do this kind of thing." ? You are shameless, our Lu family wants more! Give back your father's official position!"
Lu Jingyun has imagined what would happen if the truth was exposed countless times these days. She knew that the government would definitely not make the list public. The so-called punishment is that it depends on the situation. She has prepared the fake pregnancy herb, and is going to use her pregnancy to marry into the Hou's mansion and escape the catastrophe. It's easy to say anything in the future.
But she never expected that the emperor would be furious, and Lu Yuan justified that it was not the right time, and was directly dismissed from office. Without this official, the Lu family is no different from ordinary rich people. Her natal family is ruined, and her husband's family may not want her, and this matter will definitely be known by everyone because of the trouble. manage
Lu Jingyun was at a loss for the first time after her rebirth, she suddenly regretted that she shouldn't target Huo Wei, she shouldn't.
But it was too late to say anything, Huo Wei had already severed ties with them.
