It would take time for Master Kong to cure the disease. Wei An saw that Xie Liangqing still had his eyes closed and was motionless. When he received the gaze from Shen Chen, he turned around and walked back to the compartment.
Shen Chen sat opposite her and asked her first: "Why did you think of saving a child when you were all right?"
Wei An doesn't look like a good man.
Wei An raised her eyelids and thanked him for inviting Mr. Kong. No matter what, with her status, even if she could invite Mr. Kong, it would probably be too late.
Shen Chen had never seen her like this before. He thought about it and shook his head: "It's not a big deal. I just thought that since you value me so much, you must be useful to me, so I'll help you." He looked at Wei An's face and said, "I also want to ask you something. I hope you can help me solve my doubts because I treat you with sincerity."
Wei An tilted his head and put down the teacup: "Are you asking me why I appeared in Tongzhou? Or why I saved this child?"
Shen Chen looked at her and shook his head: "Neither, I just want to ask, what is the origin of your girl."
After all the talk, Shen Chen still couldn't figure out how Prince Zheng was related to the Wei family.
If we have to talk about the relationship, there is one. The Queen of Prince Zheng was Ming Yuyou, who was also the niece of Old Lady Wei. But Ming Yuyou died, and everyone in the world knows why she died.
Prince Zheng was heartless and ungrateful, and he abandoned his wife because of the Ming family's trouble. This was something known to everyone in the world. Old Lady Wei hated Prince Zheng to the core, and she had been a stranger to him for so many years.
But this time, a maid from the Wei family actually ran away to see King Zheng, which seemed a little too strange.
Moreover, King Zheng was indeed a little too concerned about Wei Qi.
Wei An smiled and looked at him: "Come to think of it, I really want to ask you this question. Why did she run into Mr. Lin and was taken away by Mr. Lin..."
She lowered her head and played with a twisted jade bracelet on her wrist, and said softly, "I met Third Master Lin the night before yesterday. I wanted to ask him about Qing He, but I forgot about it in the end."
Since it doesn't pose any threat, I naturally didn't think about it.
Shen Chen raised his eyebrows in surprise: "You don't know? That girl has been given to King Zheng."
Wei An frowned and stopped what he was doing: "King Zheng?"
Just as she finished asking, Manager Lin's cheerful voice came through the curtain: "Thank God, thank God! The fever is finally gone!"
Wei An felt relieved and quickly lifted the curtain to go out. As expected, he saw Kong Gongfeng had stood up. "The fever has subsided. Feed him some rice porridge slowly and give him more hot water... I'll come back tomorrow."
Wei An rushed to the bed, reached out to touch Xie Liangqing's forehead, and found that Xie Liangqing's temperature had indeed dropped a lot. He quickly stood up and thanked him.
Wei Qi is unexpectedly nice to this kid. Shen Chen seemed to be thinking about something. He always felt that the person in front of him was a mystery. He was shrouded in fog and it was difficult to see his true identity.
Wei An himself was not aware of this. After Kong Gongsheng left, he quickly turned around to look at Xie Liangqing.
Xie Liangqing is a little fat boy. Even though he has lost weight recently due to hunger, he still looks a little chubby and honest. With his eyes slightly open, he curled up on the bed like a puppy, looking ahead with a distracted look.
Wei An stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him, calling him in a low voice: "A Qing..."
My brother once said that at home, they always called Xie Liangqing like this.
Xie Liangqing's eyes moved, as if he had some reaction.
Wei An smiled happily. Fortunately... God was kind to her and she had not chosen the wrong person. The worries she had before disappeared. Mr. Kong also said that as long as she took good care of herself, there was hope of recovery. She relaxed and told Manager Lin to ask the waiter in front to boil medicine and cook porridge.
Su Ping and others were so busy that Shen Chen was very confused and didn't understand what Wei An was trying to do.
After settling Xie Liangqing, Wei An turned around and told Manager Lin: "If anyone comes to ask about this child recently, tell them that he is with us."
In his previous life, his sworn brother traveled almost all over Beijing, Tongzhou and Hebei for his younger brother. Although she didn't want him to suffer so much in this life, she really had no more reason to take the initiative to look for the Xie family.
Otherwise, given my brother's character, he would probably think that she had other intentions.
Manager Lin was a little confused: "Then let someone take him away?"
Wei An shook his head: "If you want to take him away, you can ask him to report his name first. If he believes in Xie, you can say that we rescued this person with great difficulty, and the people of the Xie family will naturally know what to do."
Wei An always emphasized the surname Xie. Shen Chen fanned himself with one hand and asked, "Could he be from the Xie family in Jingxi?"
If that's true, then it's very normal for Wei An to be so attentive.
Wei An was too lazy to care about him, so he naturally assumed that the question he asked did not exist. He followed him into the inner room and asked him, "If you don't have any clues, would you like to hear about our progress?"
This is how she is. Shen Chen has helped her so much, and she has to repay him for both public and private reasons.
Shen Chen wanted to ask about Prince Zheng, but after seeing Wei An's reaction after hearing that Qing He had gone to Prince Zheng's mansion, he shut up again and nodded in agreement with Wei An's words: "I'm all ears."
Wei An smiled and whispered to him, "We found out that the Yang family was related to Fang Zhengrong's secret collection of my elder sister's handkerchief."
This one sentence made Shen Chen think of many things. His expression became serious. He tapped the table lightly with his slender fingers, motioning Wei An to continue.
Wei An then said, "Also, the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion once opened a mine with the Huairen Marquis' Mansion. Later, something went wrong and the Huairen Marquis' Mansion was in trouble, but the Zhu family was fine. It was Yang Huai who helped. But Yang Huai did not become rich overnight. The silver probably flowed into the pockets of the Cao family."
The relationship here is really complicated and somewhat shocking. Shen Chen's previous investigation was not focused on the capital. After thinking for a while, he told Wei An: "We found out that the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou at that time... was Jiang Mingde. It was he who reported the Ming family. It was also him who went with my father to suppress the rebellion... But he died of illness a few years ago, and his descendants did not serve in the government."
Shen Chen wanted to ask whether these people Wei An mentioned had any connection with what happened in Yunnan that year.
Wei An glanced at him, then looked away: "I'm not sure what role these people played in the events of the Ming family and Yunnan, but they are probably related to what happened back then."
If my guess is correct, Cao An probably got promoted and made a fortune because of what happened back then.
