It turned out that she had been trying hard to redress the Ming family, but she had never really gotten close to the truth. It turned out that the real mastermind who wanted the Ming family to fall into this situation had been hiding behind people and had never shown up.
She already had a guess, and her eyes were particularly cold when she looked at Liu Cheng, and her tone was also particularly calm: "Is it the King of Linjiang?"
Liu Cheng didn't say anything. He knelt on the ground with his hands seemingly unable to support himself, but he remained quiet and didn't speak, as if he was facing a huge problem.
Old Madam Wei sneered and said in understanding: "I wonder why... Now it makes sense..."
The King of Chu and the King of Linjiang are essentially the same. They will do anything to get the throne. At that time, the Ming family was still helping Emperor Longqing to quell the rebellion in Yunnan and guard Yunnan. As long as Yunnan was stable, Emperor Longqing's throne would naturally be more stable.
However, Prince Linjiang and Prince Chu had never been willing to accept the fact that their positions were taken away by Emperor Longqing, so the first people they targeted were the Ming family.
The Ming family was miserable. They wholeheartedly helped Emperor Longqing ascend to the throne, but in the end they were still suspected by him. As a result, someone took advantage of the situation and fabricated a crime to kill the entire family.
Old Madam Wei no longer had any tears left. She could no longer cry. She looked at Liu Cheng in front of her coldly and said, "There is still a child alive in the Ming family..."
Liu Cheng smiled bitterly and said: "I can't atone for my sins even if I die a thousand times. All I can do is to leave a root for the Ming family..." In fact, it was very difficult for him to keep the child. At that time, Old Master Li was timid and afraid of trouble. He refused to let the child go and insisted on sending him to the capital. He tried every possible way to let the man from the Lu family take the child away.
Old Mrs. Wei said "oh" and smiled meaningfully: "Then I should really thank you. Fortunately, you left a single child for our Ming family..."
Liu Cheng couldn't stand this. Looking at Mrs. Wei's face becoming more and more blurred, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
In fact, he had a very bad life these years. He was haunted by nightmares every day. He always thought of the Ming family and how good they were to him. He was alive only because he heard that something happened to the Wei family and Ming Jing was found. He thought that his life would just pass by like this, but who knew that something happened halfway through, and someone forced him to tell the truth to Mrs. Wei.
The truth was too hurtful, he didn't want to say it, not to mention that these things were in the past, just take the King of Linjiang, is it someone that Old Lady Wei could afford to offend? The Wei family and the King of Linjiang became relatives, if this matter was known by Old Lady Wei, then in the future, are these two families relatives or enemies
He closed his eyes and fell back, lying on the ground like a dying old man. After a long time, he spoke in a low voice to persuade Mrs. Wei: "I know it is my fault. Even if I die ten thousand times, it will not be able to offset the evil I have done. But these things are in the past after all. Second Miss, please don't pursue it anymore. It will not do you any good. Everything has been settled. What can you do? Not to mention you, there is also the Wei family, and Ming Jing..."
Old Mrs. Wei sneered, feeling that she had no place to vent her anger. She heard what Liu Cheng said, but she wished she hadn't heard a word.
Liu Cheng was right, what else could she do
She also personally paved the way for Prince Linjiang and provided him with a lot of support, but in the end, he also contributed to the Ming family's misfortune.
When she dies, how will she face her parents, brothers, and clansmen
The eunuch's sharp voice came from outside the palace. Liu Cheng was stunned, and then he grabbed the hem of Mrs. Wei's skirt as if he was facing a great enemy and kept begging her: "Please calm down..." He was very scared, fearing that Mrs. Wei would just rush out and fight with Prince Linjiang. He really knew he was wrong, and he really knew that he had let the Ming family down, so he didn't want anyone in the Ming family to get into trouble again. He grabbed Mrs. Wei's skirt and stopped her steps, and said hurriedly: "I know you must be very upset, but Second Miss, you have to think about Ming Jing and the others. If you really go out and tell Prince Linjiang about those things, then you..."
Then there is no way that Prince Linjiang would be able to bypass Old Madam Wei. No one is without a dark side, and Prince Linjiang had hidden this side very well before. If he knew that Old Madam Wei knew all this, and knew that he was involved in and plotted against the Ming family in the past, then Prince Linjiang would definitely not feel good.
He would feel like there was something stuck in his throat, and now that he is in power, it would be too easy for him to make Old Madam Wei shut up.
Liu Cheng really didn't want Old Lady Wei to die. He grabbed Old Lady Wei's skirt and burst into tears: "I know I have no right to advise you, but Miss, please listen to me. Those people forced me to come here just for this. They wanted to provoke you to reveal the secret and then let the prince kill you..."
This is a dead end. The vicious thing about it is that you know it is a conspiracy, a vicious one at that, but you have no choice but to do as she arranges.
Because few people can swallow their anger in the face of such truth. If they really swallow it, it would be like eating the flesh and blood of their own relatives.
Old Mrs. Wei stood there, in a dilemma, not knowing whether to cry or be angry.
She had worked hard for so many years, but she never expected to know all the truth at this critical juncture. She never expected that these things would become a double-edged sword in the hands of others at this time, stabbing both King Linjiang and herself.
She fell back into her chair, not knowing how to react for a moment. After a while, she suddenly looked up at Liu Cheng and asked him, "I have something to ask you. If you still have some regard for me and feel sorry for me, just tell me the truth."
The noise outside was getting closer and closer. Liu Cheng's eyes flickered and he nodded continuously: "You tell me, you tell me, I will tell you everything I know."
Mrs. Wei asked him in a low voice: "My... my An An, is she okay?"
Liu Cheng was stunned for a moment before he realized who Old Lady Wei was asking about. He was brought in today and didn't know these things. He shook his head honestly: "I don't know this yet, but... I haven't heard that any master in the palace died..."
This means that nothing should have happened.
The sharp voice of Huang the eunuch outside rang out again: "Old lady, who are you talking to in there? Can we come in? It's getting late..."
It was late, but he didn't come in, trying to give them time to talk. (To be continued)
