"What is this?" Wei Chang asked expressionlessly.
Liu's breath was suffocated, and her expression panicked for a moment. She quickly adjusted her expression, and asked with a puzzled smile, "Isn't this an earbag? It's so common. Why did the master ask me to see this?"
Yes, it is very common. It was because it was so common that it impressed him deeply. Most of the things in her boudoir dowry were gorgeous and complicated, and occasionally there was a simple earring, which made him pay more attention. Wei Chang was not in a hurry to expose her, and asked calmly, "I remember you have a pair of earrings like this one. Where are they? Take them out and let me have a look."
The smile on Liu's face was still very calm, and her words were impeccable: "I think it looks ordinary, so I just gave it to my servant." After speaking, he showed a little curiosity, "What's the matter today, master, suddenly asked me these questions? It's hot, let's have dinner first."
Wei Chang didn't intend to let her be fooled like this. She took his hand and walked towards the table. His hand pulled hard and brought her to him. Or, did you give it to the maid in the fifth room?"
Finally, a few cracks appeared on Liu's face, she stood firm, and said angrily, "What did the master say? What's the matter with you today? Isn't it just a pair of ears, it's worth your attention..."
Before he finished speaking, he was slapped by Wei Chang with a wave of his hand!
The man was strong and angry, and he slapped Liu Shi on the face, knocking her to the ground, half of her cheek swelled as high as a steamed bun. Liu Shi knelt on the ground, covered her cheeks and raised her head in disbelief, looking at him, "Master..."
At the same time, there was a crisp sound at the door, "Mother!"
Third Miss Wei Jian stood at the door, holding on to the door frame, looking at the scene inside the door in surprise. When she saw the scene just now, her father slapped her mother so hard that her face was swollen. Shocked and frightened, she looked at Wei Chang with trembling lips, and hesitantly stepped forward: "Father, don't beat mother..."
Wei Chang was in a fit of anger at this time, he was already irritable, and when he got angry, no one would be an exception, he said with his eyes wide open, "Get out!"
Wei Jian was frightened by his appearance, stopped in place, and trembled violently. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she said anxiously and fearfully, "Daddy..."
Wei Chang stopped looking at her, turned his head and told the nanny at the door to carry her down, and not allow her to plead for Liu Shi again.
Wei Jian struggled in Nanny's arms, twisted and cried, "Mother... I want mother..."
Mrs. Liu originally had resentment in her heart, but now that she was called by Wei Jian, she suddenly felt sad, and looked at Wei Chang with red eyes: "Did the master hear something outside, and when he came back, he vented his anger on me and sister Ji?" , otherwise it wouldn't be so abnormal... "
She is still pretending. Wei Chang looked coldly, and asked all the maids serving in the room to go out, after all to save some face for her, "Tell me, did you inject the poison in Wei Luo's bowl?"
Liu's complexion moved slightly, and she looked up at him: "What poison? Wei Luo was poisoned?"
Wei Chang reminded word by word: "Ginkgo fruit."
It's impossible to pretend now, a hole has been broken in the sack, and I can only find a way to make up for that hole. Liu's face turned slightly pale, and he muttered twice: "What's the matter? Sister Yan often eats ginkgo nuts, and she's fine now. Why would ginkgo nuts be poisoned? I thought children like to eat them, and they're good for your health. , and asked the maid in Pine Garden to put some in the Wei Luo bowl..."
It is normal for ordinary women not to know if they are not proficient in medical principles. However, when she thought about it carefully, she felt that her words were full of loopholes. She didn't care about Wei Luo once in thousands of years, why did she suddenly care about Wei Luo's diet now
Wei Chang sat back on the chair of the Eight Immortals, stared at her coldly, and said without warning, "If you hate Jiang Miaolan, don't vent your anger on her children, those two children are innocent."
Liu's whole body was shocked, and she looked at him in disbelief: "What did you say?"
The word "Jiang Miaolan" has always been a taboo in the British government, and everyone mentioned her as a secret. When Gein was there, it really caused quite a stir in the British government. Now that she is gone and disappeared, everyone has forgotten her after so many years... But some people will still remember that once the seeds of jealousy and hatred are planted in their hearts, they will take root and germinate unless someone uproots them or pinches them severely die.
Wei Chang was probably disappointed in her, or maybe he wanted to teach her a lesson, and continued: "Fifth brother didn't know about what you and Mrs. Du did together back then, but I knew everything about it."
Those words were like a thunderbolt, striking Liu's body fiercely! Liu's body swayed, barely able to stabilize her upper body. She was half-sitting on the ground, her face was pale, she tried her best to control her voice, but there was still a trace of trembling: "What did the master say...why am I getting more and more incomprehensible..."
Knowing that she was pretending to be stupid, and her eyes were cold, Wei Chang raised his lips and laughed at himself: "Do you still have to hide the matter now? You can't tolerate her, Mrs. Du wants to marry Wei Kun. The two of you teamed up to design a good one." Jiang Miaolan was disheartened by the play, and she would rather not have children than she was determined to leave this sad place." After he finished speaking, he exhaled heavily, and looked coldly at Liu Shi, who was limp on the ground, "What I said Right? Do you want me to elaborate on how you guys act?"
It turned out that he knew all about it, and he had lived with her for so long even after he knew about it, what was he thinking about her all the time? Liu Shi only felt that her face was hot, ashamed and angry. No wonder he has been lukewarm to her for so many years, they only have one child, Wei Jian, and whenever she asks for another one, he always loses interest. It's not that he's not interested in sex, it's that he's not interested in her.
This kind of thing is like you always thought that you were wearing clothes and walked for more than ten years, and suddenly someone stopped you one day and asked why you were walking naked? Liu Shi stood up from the ground, trembling, even her voice was false: "When did you know?"
Wei Chang looked away, as if he didn't want to see her anymore: "You don't need to know this."
He frowned, thought for a long time and said, "Miss Ji is still young and needs a mother. I won't divorce you for the time being. I just want to give my fifth brother an explanation. Wei Luo is still lying on the bed. If it wasn't for If you discover it in time, your life may be in danger right now! Your mind is vicious, and I’m afraid your life is too comfortable, so don’t go out in the future, stay in your room and copy the scriptures!” After a pause, he looked at the gold-encrusted jade ear pendant on the table of the Eight Immortals , asserted: "Since you don't like these jewellery, I think it's better to give away those in the house as well. You are sorry for Wei Luo first, and these things are given to her as a dowry for her in the future."
For a vain and beautiful woman, giving away the jewelry she has accumulated for many years is more sad than killing her! Especially to give a child she hates, Liu's heart was like a knife, pleading for herself: "Master... send those away, what will Sister Yan do in the future? Sister Yan is also going to get married!"
Wei Chang was unmoved, and waved her away with a wave of his sleeve, "Sister Jian is a lady of the British government, so she won't be wronged when she gets married."
After saying that, he walked out of the house, but there was no room for negotiation. Liu's heart was ashamed, she sat on the ground in a daze, recalling what Wei Chang just said in her mind, she still feels like she is in a dream.
Why would he know? When did he know
How could she have the face to stay with him in the future!
Thinking about the jewels that I have collected for many years, every box and box, I have to hand them over to Wei Luo, I am so regretful that I beat my chest and feet!
pine garden.
When Wei Luo woke up, it was already the next morning. She drank the medicine prescribed by the doctor last night, and now she has recovered more than half, and her headache and nausea are no longer there. She poked her head out of the scarlet quilt, her snow-white and tender face showed a little curiosity, her fragile eyelashes blinked, her black pupils turned, and she looked out of the window.
Outside the window early in the morning, maidservants came in and out, as if they were moving things, but they didn't know what they were doing. She remembered that she was poisoned yesterday, and she didn't know what happened afterwards, she wanted to call Jin Lu to her to ask, but when she opened her mouth, she could only make a soft, continuous milking sound, which could not be heard from outside. With a "huh", she had no choice but to raise her hand and overturned the blue and white watermelon teacup with lotus pattern on the bedside table, and the cup fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
The people outside finally heard the movement, Jin Lu hurriedly walked around the screen and came to the front, seeing that she woke up, she was both happy and surprised, "Miss!"
Jin Lu poured a cup of hot tea while talking, and helped her up from the bed without tidying up the broken china beside the bed, "Miss, please drink some water to moisten your throat."
Wei Luo took a sip of water from her hand, and was finally able to speak, her voice was waxy, with the tone of just waking up, "Sister Jinlu, what are you doing outside?"
It's a long story, and I have to start with her poisoning yesterday. Jin Lu put a large gold and silver silk pillow behind her to make her lie comfortably. Just as she was about to describe the situation last night vividly, she suddenly remembered that she was only a child. Talk too much, lest she be traumatized at a young age. Jin Lu hurriedly stopped, and said: "Miss ate badly yesterday because the third madam accidentally put something wrong in it, and now the third madam wants to make amends, so she came to give you something."
It's just that there were too many gifts, and Jin Lu was also taken aback at first, as if she had brought all of Sanfang's belongings. She had just counted the number outside, and recorded everything with Fu's mother, Mrs. Ye, in the register, and there will be traces to follow when she finds them in the future. Each of these gold and silver jewels is very precious, agate, coral, gemstones, pearls... It is dazzling to see, the third lady is really willing to part with it this time!
As everyone knows, Liu's is not willing, but a last resort. She was bleeding from distress, but she couldn't stop it, she could only watch people move things out one by one. I couldn't bear it at the end, and rolled my eyes and pouted.
Among them is a part of Liu's dowry, which is now under Wei Luo's account. Wei Luo asked Jin Lu to bring the account book, looked at the number, and thought that this Liu family is really extravagant! With so many jewelry, are you afraid of bending her head
Although the golden thread didn't say it clearly, Wei Luo could vaguely guess what was going on. It was nothing more than Liu's jealousy and resentment, wanting to harm herself, and finally self-defeating, not only did she not die, but she lost all the jewelry and part of the dowry.
Wei Luo sat on the bed, thinking of the uncomfortable feeling yesterday, her dark eyes dimmed.
Since Sanfang sent these things, it was with an attitude of letting things go and covering up for Liu's mistakes. Is it just like that? Who can guarantee that if she hurts her once, there won't be a second time
Wei Luo learned from her mouth that the golden words had been sold with their tongues cut off, which was just right, so she wouldn't have to do it herself. The Golden Ci and the Golden Pavilion are both scumbags, they were bought by Mrs. Du, who watched her being carried away by Ren Yazi. She was worried that she would not have a chance to send them off, but she didn't expect them to hit the edge of the knife.
Wei Luo's thoughts changed, and she innocently pointed to a place on the ledger and asked, "Sister Jinlu, there are three pairs of these earrings, what are they?"
Jin Lu leaned over to take a look, she learned to read characters when she was young, so she can recognize some of them now, "Miss Hui, these are gold-plated jasmine pattern earrings."
Wei Luo blinked, "Is it all for me?"
Jin Lu nodded, "It's all for you."
She said too much, besides this, there are many kinds of earrings behind. She touched her earlobe, and her little mouth flattened in distress, "But I don't have ears and eyes, so I can't wear it. I'd better give it to Sister Jinlu, Sister Jinlu looks good on it..."
Jin Lu was very flattered, and quickly knelt down to thank her.
Wei Luo picked out other things and gave them to the other maids in the courtyard, so that they would wear them all the time, she said they looked good on them. The maids all kowtowed their heads in thanks, both grateful and moved. Little did they know that Wei Luo had other plans in mind, they had better be seen by Mrs. Liu wearing these things. Seeing her cherished treasure on the maidservant's head, Mrs. Liu must be very heartbroken, right? Heartache is right, she also felt heartache when she was poisoned yesterday.
Wei Luo asked Mrs. Ye to keep the account books. The things she sent just now were just the tip of the iceberg, and Mrs. Liu still had a lot of jewelry.
After Mrs. Ye left, Jin Lu came up with a bowl of medicine, sat on the head of the bed and said, "Miss, the toxins in her body haven't been eliminated yet, so drink another bowl of medicine, and the disease will recover after drinking the medicine."
Wei Luo thought the medicine was too bitter, and was about to find the box of candy balls that Chang Hong had given her, when she suddenly heard some movement at the door. She stopped what she was doing, turned her head to look out, Jin Wu came out from behind the screen, and said, "Miss, His Highness Prince Jing heard that you were ill, so he came here to see you."
Wei Luo was stunned, why did Zhao Jie come to see her
Could it be that she didn't go to the study for a long time, so he came to see what's going on? But he shouldn't have come in person...
Wei Luo was wondering, when a dark blue figure walked out from behind the golden house, with a slender figure and a dignified demeanor. Zhao Jie walked out slowly, followed by Wei Kun, and the two walked towards the bed together.
Sitting on the head of the bed was a delicate and exquisite little girl, with black hair and snow skin, big eyes that were confused and helpless. Her face was sickly white, more like a finely crafted jade doll. She sat there obediently, raised her head to meet Zhao Jie's gaze, and said in a delicate and soft voice, "Big brother."
This big brother's cry was so sweet that Zhao Jie originally wanted to see how her condition was, but he didn't expect to see her and felt a little distressed.
