When he came back, he was shocked to see that all the guards outside were Jinyiwei.
After returning, Mrs. Wei told him that it was just a trick and asked him not to worry.
But how could he be at ease? He met with the second and third masters in private and found out that this matter concerned Qiu Chuying and the Qin family.
It would be fine if it was someone else, but the Minister of Rites Qin Dong made him feel terrified - he was able to become the Vice Minister of War because of Qin Dong's hand.
But if Donald Qin really wanted to deal with the Wei family, why did he promote him
He couldn't figure it out. Now when he heard that something happened, his first reaction was to wonder if the Qin family was causing trouble. After all, his previous assignments had not been smooth either.
Thinking of this, he felt really uncomfortable and urged even more urgently.
Fortunately, Madam Kong was also able to stand on her feet. She quickly stood still and replied, "Master Wu, Eunuch Liu is here and wants to see the old lady."
Liu Zhen, now the new eunuch in charge of writing in the Imperial Household Department and a popular figure in front of Emperor Longqing, his arrival also means that Emperor Longqing has arrived.
No wonder Madam Kong was so anxious. But even if Liu Zhen came, it wouldn't make sense for her to be so scared that she would say something bad. Wei Yangqing frowned and said, "Please explain clearly. Since Eunuch Liu is here, what's wrong with that?"
"Eunuch Liu is holding a human head..." Madam Kong finally couldn't control her fear and stammered, "It's... it's the owner of our medicine shop!"
Wei Yangqing was shocked.
He heard from the third master that Qiu Chuying and the Qin family deliberately chose the owner of this drug store as a breakthrough point to defeat the Wei family.
The case had been unresolved before, the Ministry of Justice had not conducted a public trial, and the Wei family did not even have a master detained. But now, how come even someone has lost his life
Wei Jie didn't care about being angry with him anymore, and quickly reminded: "Quick! Quickly notify the old lady!"
Wei Yangqing suddenly woke up and waved to Nanny Kong to follow her into the room. Once she entered the room, she didn't even bother to perform the formalities, let alone Wei An and the Third Madam standing beside her, and asked Nanny Kong to come out and talk.
Madam Kong repeated what she had said before, and said tremblingly: "Madam, Madam, Eunuch Liu is waiting outside..."
After a brief panic, Mrs. Wei quickly came to her senses.
It hasn't come to that point yet, it hasn't come to that point yet...
She nodded, stopped the Third Madam who was about to speak out to stop him, glanced at Wei An, and even smiled slightly: "Go, invite Eunuch Liu in."
He then instructed the Third Lady: "Send someone down to prepare the feast. It must be of the best quality."
There was no reason for the Third Lady to disobey, so she suppressed the turmoil in her heart and agreed. She turned around and it took her a long time to calm herself down, and she gently told Madam Kong and others to do the job.
There is nothing you can do even if the sky falls. The important thing is to do well the things at hand.
She frowned, and when she saw Wei An following her out, she turned around and said softly, "I'll go check out the front first, in case there are servants who can't handle the situation and rush in and cause trouble."
The Third Madam has always been very thoughtful. The ancestors of the Kong Yuanpan were related to the Kong family, so the Third Madam's upbringing was not bad. She also grew up with the Four Books for Women memorized. Compared with Princess Changning, she is more like the mistress of a mansion and is better at taking charge.
Wei An no longer had anything to worry about and nodded to her gently.
Liu Zhen was about to come in, so Old Lady Wei said to Wei Jie, "Ah Jie, go check on your sister for me first. The house is so noisy, so as not to startle her again."
Wei Jie nodded, and when he went out, he found that Wei An was not treated the same as him and was still staying in He'an Courtyard.
This was not a good sign. He was not confident enough to think that Mrs. Wei was doing this for his own good. He only vaguely sensed Mrs. Wei's trust in Wei An and her unfamiliarity with him.
The closeness of the relationship is immediately apparent.
He closed his eyes, and finally went to Wei Yulong's room without looking back.
Wei Yulong was seriously ill. When he went there, Wei Yupo was just coming out of the house. He hurriedly saluted him when he saw him, but his attitude was not as good as before.
Wei Jie pursed his lips and said nothing in the end. He entered the room and asked the maid to open the window. He sat next to Wei Yulong and asked her after a while, "What are you doing here, Xiaojiu?"
"Nothing to do, probably just to see the joke." Wei Yulong smiled, with a strange mockery on his pale face. He pulled the corner of his mouth and coughed a few times, then said: "What happened outside? It seemed very chaotic just now..."
Wei Jie himself didn't know, but he couldn't help but think of what Nanny Kong had said before, about Liu Zhen coming with a head.
If Liu Zhen really came with bad intentions, the Wei family would be in trouble now, and their knot in their hearts would not be so important. He tucked the quilt for his sister and said softly, "Nothing, just a small matter."
Liu Zhen was also saying the same thing to Old Lady Wei at this time: "Don't be afraid, Old Lady. It's nothing serious. We have examined everything clearly. It's just a small matter."
He smiled and said to Madam Wei in a meaningful way, "You know in your heart that as long as you are fine, His Majesty will be happy. This shopkeeper secretly lent money at high interest rates without telling his master, and also sold fake medicine... How could he put you in such a bad situation? His Majesty was furious and ordered me to investigate thoroughly. I am not talented enough, and it took me such a long time to solve the case. Please don't blame me, old lady. Don't worry, the matter has been resolved."
He glanced at the tray held by Xiao Huozhe and said with a half-smile, "It's not a pity for this thing to die. This time, I came here specifically to inform you that the Jinyiwei at the door will be withdrawn soon. You can rest assured in the future."
Mrs. Wei was silent for a while. After Liu Zhen finished speaking, she smiled and said, "God's grace is so great. I have nothing to say except to shed tears of gratitude..."
She smiled and looked at Wei Yangqing, whose face was livid: "As a minister, you should remember the grace and trust of the emperor and serve him till your death."
Wei Yangqing quickly expressed his gratitude. He had some friendship with Liu Zhen when he was young, so he took over the words of Mrs. Wei: "I also want to thank Mr. Liu for finding out the truth. Since last year, there have been endless rumors about our family. I don't know if it's because of bad luck..."
As he spoke, the Third Master who had just rushed in echoed him and respectfully handed over his purse, "It's just a small gift, please accept it, Eunuch Liu. The mansion has prepared a banquet, but it's getting late, please stay for dinner, Eunuch Liu?"
It was light and not very heavy. It should be a banknote. Dingbei Marquis's Mansion was indeed prepared and so generous. Liu Zhen stuffed the purse into his sleeve pocket calmly and smiled again: "There will be plenty of opportunities to deal with each other in the future, so there is no need to be busy now."
