"Are you sure you saw clearly?" In the backyard of Sikong Mansion, in the quiet building in the afternoon, Wei Xinyong, dressed as a servant, raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice.
Song Zaishui frowned and said: "There isn't even a decent steward in that courtyard. My second sister-in-law has always been on good terms with Wei Changjuan, and it was only thanks to her passing by that she saved Wei Changjuan's life this time." , I was able to go into the inner room to visit. I followed her in, and stayed close to the couch to look at her carefully for a long time. As you guessed, Wei Changjuan's eyebrows were loose, and she had... "
After all, Song Zaishui was embarrassed to tell directly that Wei Changjuan had lost her virginity before she left the cabinet, and then asked in confusion, "You're just from the deep house. How did you know that something like this happened to Wei Changjuan? Even if you knew, you should You won’t mind such noisy matters, right?”
Wei Xinyong didn't say much. He just took out a half-written piece of paper from his sleeve and gave it to her: "Look at this prescription."
Song Zaishui took it in his hand and scanned it, and he recognized several herbs in it. He was surprised and said: "Schisandra chinensis, salvia, safflower... these medicines... she actually!"
Song Zaishui is proficient in medical science and knows that not to mention the other medicinal materials in this half of the prescription, these three alone are all good at promoting blood circulation. Together with Wei Changjuan, a young lady who has not yet discussed marriage and has always been in good health, how could he not have thought that Wei Changjuan is not only She has lost her virginity and is even pregnant!
She held the prescription tightly and asked in a deep voice, "Where did you get this prescription? Who is that person? It has attracted so much attention from you?"
Wei Xinyong walked back and forth in the room for a few steps, as if he was deep in thought. After a while, he raised his head and said, "I forged the prescription. I don't know Wei Changjuan's handwriting yet. I have to trouble you." Mrs. Tuomin tried to get something that could be considered Wei Changjuan’s suicide note.”
Song Zaishui's expression changed after hearing this, and said: "Why are you so hesitant and still haven't talked about that person?! That person, who is he? What are you doing forging this prescription? What do you want to do!"
Wei Xinyong said in an extremely calm tone: "That person is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"What?!" Song Zaishui was so shocked that she almost didn't jump up. It took a long time before she murmured, "You said before... that something big would happen, but I just thought that Wei Changjuan had lost her innocence... How could this happen? !”
Wei Xinyong sneered and said: "I don't know the specific story, but you have probably heard that in the past two years, the East Palace has been very enthusiastic about summoning the Crown Princess's mother and sister, right? This stupid niece of mine, since I have followed The eleventh lady of the Liu family is so warm and obedient to her words. It seems that either she was designed to make Li Daitao stiff, or the Liu family is planning to use this matter to push Rui Yutang to the forefront of the limelight. Now I don't have the time! No matter how this stupid girl got fooled, she must die for Rui Yu Tang! "
This is no longer a matter of Wei Changjuan losing her virginity before marriage, which will drag down the reputation of a girl from the same clan!
The key is that Wei Changjuan was taken by the prince! If the person who caused her to lose her virginity before marriage was known to outsiders, then either the Wei family would admit that they had no way of raising their daughter and Wei Changjuan shamelessly seduced the prince; or they would insist that the prince was unjust and force him to rape his legitimate daughter!
The former is tantamount to ruining the reputation of Fengzhou Wei family for hundreds of years. No one in the Wei family, including Zhibentang and Ruiyutang, will agree! Although the latter has preserved the reputation of the Wei family to a certain extent compared to the former, a prominent family that has been in the family for hundreds of years cannot even protect the innocence of their own daughter-in-law, so the loss of face is not small...
What's even more terrible is that given the status of the Wei family, the legitimate daughter was raped by the prince. How could it be possible if we don't ask for an explanation? Even if the Wei family is willing to be a coward, other members of the family cannot sit back and watch their face be trampled on like this.
The Wei family did not want to protect the crown prince. In the final analysis, Ruiyu Hall had been weak for a long time. Even though Wei Zhenghong recovered, he had not yet officially entered the official position, so he had to act carefully.
... Even though Wei Changjuan was innocently wronged about this kind of thing, as long as word spreads about it, her own reputation and the Wei family's face will be ruined.
Wei Changjuan doesn't have a direct grandmother who tries every means to think about her and do whatever it takes to suppress the clan's demands to clean up the clan! She has never made a great contribution to saving Wei Huan's most talented grandson who has high hopes. Wei Huan has no feelings for this granddaughter whom he has never met. How could he pay so much for her
Song Zaishui understands the joints involved. Although she had no favorable impressions of Wei Changjuan, when she heard that she was first taken by the prince and now wanted to be silenced by the family, she felt a chill in her heart. After a moment, she said, "Is this what my aunt and uncle meant?"
"No." Wei Xinyong denied it and said, "The matter is urgent. How can I find the time to report to Fengzhou? This is my own intention!"
He didn't wait for Song Zaishui to say anything, and said, "Just think about it, Wei Shengyi is now desperate. According to the methods of the one I should call second aunt, do you think Wei Shengyi will trust his aunt in the future?" Will you let him go?"
Song Zaishui thought quickly and gasped: "You mean, Wei Shengyi will use this matter to drag Rui Yutang into trouble? To take revenge on his great-aunt and great-uncle?"
Wei Xinyong said coldly: "It's not just Ruiyutang he wants to drag down! It's the entire Wei family! I even suspect that Wei Changjuan frequently interacted with the eleventh lady of the Liu family and was deceived by the prince. It's also related to Wei Shengyi's deliberate pretending to be deaf! If he really loves this little daughter, can he really not control her? Maybe he has made an appointment with the Liu family to use his daughter to trick the Wei family. revenge!"
"...How did you know about this matter?" Song Zaishui said in surprise, "You specifically asked me to personally see if Wei Changjuan's eyebrows have loosened. Obviously, you are not completely sure about this matter? But you are not sure about such a hidden matter. How do you know?"
Wei Xinyong didn't hide it either, saying, "I bought it from my eldest sister-in-law, Min, for one hundred taels of silver."
"Purchased it?" Song Zaishui stayed in the water for a while and said in disbelief, "Can such news be purchased?"
"What's so strange?" Wei Xinyong said very calmly, "Wei Shengyi's two direct daughters-in-law are not loved by Aunt Weng, nor are they favored by her husband. They listened to the servants' private discussions about their relationship with Wei Changjuan. It’s not good either. They don’t have any children, so if they don’t take advantage of the opportunity to save more money, how will they live in the future?”
Song subconsciously said under the water: "Isn't there a dowry?" At this time, the dowry of a rich woman is enough to last a lifetime or even several lifetimes. With statuses like Song Zaishui and Wei Changying, they could ruin their whole family for several generations - of course, prodigal daughters like Duanmu Xinmiao were a different matter.
"Even so, what else do you think they should pay attention to now besides saving money?" Wei Xinyong didn't want to talk more about why the Min family and Zhou family would sell such a scandal for a hundred taels of silver, and returned to the topic. Said, "In short, Mrs. Min noticed that something was wrong with Wei Changjuan's situation. Just two days ago, I went to find Wei Shengyi. She sent her confidants to negotiate with me. After receiving a hundred taels of silver in silver, she told I told you the news immediately, but you were still a step too late."
Hearing the faint reproach in his words, Song Zaishui felt embarrassed - in fact, long before Wei Changjuan's accident, she had been entrusted by Wei Xinyong to try to meet her to observe whether what Min said was true.
After all, although Wei Xinyong is nominally Wei Changjuan's uncle, there are differences between men and women. He has been adopted to Ruiyu Hall not long ago, and he is not close enough to Wei Shengyi to enter and exit Wei Changjuan's backyard at will. He wants to see Wei Changjuan. Juan has neither a chance nor a suitable reason.
Song Zaishui was a woman, so no one would suspect that she wanted to see Wei Changjuan. Min Yinuo, the second sister-in-law who was once a close friend of Wei Changjuan, could introduce him. So after Wei Xinyong bought the information from Min, he immediately tried to forward the information to her for confirmation.
As a result, Song Zaishui was very surprised when he saw the news, but because Min Yinuo and Song Zaijiang were living by Chuncao Lake these days - because Song Zaijiang was elegant and good at painting, at this point, he and Min Yinuo had the same hobby. —The couple went to Spring Grass Lake to shoot the scene together.
Song Zaishui was in the middle of the summer, the weather was hot, and people were tired. The most important thing was that Su Yuwu had just written a letter in the past few days. She was busy reading and replying to the letter, thinking that it would be okay to be a few days late... After all, Wei Xinyong is just guessing!
As a result, she was so lazy that she heard the news about Wei Changjuan's accident within a few days... Because Min Yino was frightened to death by Wei Changjuan who was suspected to be dead that day. In panic, she sent people back to Sikong Mansion in the imperial capital to follow her. Mr. Huo said it - Mr. Huo would naturally not tell Song Zaishui.
Only at this moment did Song Zaishui realize that he seemed to have missed something!
Being scolded by Wei Xinyong in person at this moment, Song Zaishui didn't know what to say for a moment. He paused and then said: "Then now we must let Wei Changjuan..."
No matter how sympathetic he is to Wei Changjuan, for the sake of his aunt's family, Song Zaishui now chooses to agree to Wei Xinyong's silence plan without hesitation - as long as this matter is spread, whether it is said that Wei Changjuan seduced the prince, or the prince Insulting Wei Changjuan brings disgrace to the Wei family! If it is really the Liu family who has a plan, the Wei family will be in big trouble this time!
The best thing to do is to silence Wei Changjuan, tell the public about her sudden illness, and pretend that this incident never happened! Because Wei Changjuan would always get married as long as she was alive. According to her status, even if Wei Shengyi lost power, she should marry a direct descendant of a noble family. How can a husband of this status tolerate a cuckold
It seems that Shen Zangfeng resolutely chose to continue to fulfill the engagement before he knew that Wei Changying had not lost his innocence as rumored. Firstly, there is only one Shen Zangfeng in the world; secondly, it was also because he admired Wei Changying who refused to lose his wife. My younger brother had the courage to escape alone.
Wei Changjuan may not have such good luck.
When things happen, the Wei family will be embarrassed in front of their in-laws! It would be better to just mourn a daughter.
After all, who would dare to go to the mourning hall of the legitimate daughter of the Wei family and ask for the coffin to be opened and an autopsy failed
Even if we want to take revenge on the Liu family and the prince, we can't do it at the expense of losing the reputation and face of the Wei family before we even get revenge!
Wei Xinyong nodded slowly with a gloomy face: "Speaking of it, your second sister-in-law is too troublesome, and I never thought that Wei Changjuan would commit suicide. If she hadn't taken care of this business, she would be relaxed now."
Song Zaishui couldn't help but ask: "What do you want that prescription for?"
Now if we want to silence them, we have to block the news and get a prescription copied by Wei Changjuan herself. Doesn't this leave traces behind
Wei Xinyong sneered and said: "No matter how stupid Wei Changjuan is, she is always the daughter of my Wei family! Then the eleventh lady of the Liu family plotted against her like this, how can our Wei family not take revenge?! I have already thought about it, Wei Changjuan was determined not to die in vain. Didn't you just say that the group of people rushing in and out of the Wei family courtyard attributed her suicide to the murder of her maid Hong'er? How could Hong'er, a little maid, have the courage? To murder Wei Changjuan?"
Song Zaishui understood: "You mean... the prince?"
"The prince has been coveting his wife and sister for a long time, and it has almost left traces." Wei Xinyong's face was extremely gloomy, and he said coldly, "Although he is bold enough to commit suicide, but if he can find a way to survive, he will not be able to survive." As for being too stupid to leave—let alone taking advantage of the situation to fulfill his long-held plan!”
Song Zaishui took a deep breath and said: "I understand! Don't worry, just leave the prescription to me!" (To be continued)
