Feicui walked out without even picking up the bedding from the footstool. The candlelight from the gauze lantern on the table made Wei An's face look particularly dark. Her expression was unclear in the light, but her voice was icy cold.
"Grandma, if I'm not mistaken, it's Master Xie's revenge." Wei An said his guess softly, with a hint of hostility lingering between his brows.
Of course, she also felt sorry for Mr. Xie. Losing his mother was equivalent to losing his father completely, and he had never been favored by his father since he was a child.
But this is not a reason for Mr. Xie to kill people wantonly.
Or it could be.
It was as if she hated the Peng family and therefore implicated some innocent people.
But if Second Master Xie's hatred was the reason why he was willing to do anything to implicate and retaliate against anyone related to Third Master Xie, then she had nothing to say.
It all depends on one's ability.
Old Mrs. Wei was startled, then she reacted immediately.
But just a few hours ago, they were still analyzing that the second master Xie must have been preoccupied with the affairs of the Xie brothers and had no time to split himself up to deal with Wei An.
Now is Master Xie's revenge coming
How come it came so quickly
"Could it be a mistake?" Old Madam Wei suspected that it was someone else: "Second Master Xie's hands may not be that long. Didn't he send people to monitor you before? According to your instructions, those people wrote a letter to Second Master Xie, saying that everything was under control, and Second Master Xie did not give them any further orders."
Wei An knew that Old Lady Wei suspected Chu Jingxing.
Before, in addition to being followed by Mr. Xie's men, she was also followed by another group of people.
Later, the Liu Biping incident happened.
Later, Shen Chen found out that these people were actually Chu Jingxing's men. Shen Chen was extremely angry about this and questioned Chu Jingxing why he was still following Wei An.
Chu Jingxing said that he brought it along because he discovered that Shen Chen had been in frequent contact with Wei An recently.
This answer was not so convincing, but Wei An also did not believe that Chu Jingxing had done it this time. She shook her head: "Chu Jingxing is not that stupid. He was just scolded by King Linjiang. He has no manpower at hand and is under house arrest." She paused and said, "He will not offend us and anger King Linjiang at this time."
As for the Peng family, which had a grudge against Wei An in the past, they no longer have the ability to do so.
Concubine Peng De... ... She might not be able to reach out of the palace so quickly, and even if she could, she wouldn't know about this house.
Only the second master Xie, who had sent people to follow and monitor them, knew that the people living in the house were Tan Xi and the old members of the Xie family.
He did it on purpose.
Mrs. Wei's expression suddenly darkened: "What does he want to do?"
"He probably found Zhao Qi." Wei An sighed. Although she hadn't even looked at him yet, she still didn't look tired or weak. She analyzed smoothly, "He was originally dissatisfied with me because I saved Xie Liangqing before, and even hated me. In addition, I took Zhao Qi and others from Xie Liangcheng, and now Zhao Qi saved Xie Liangcheng and Xie Liangqing. He should be extremely angry."
So while he was looking for someone in Yongzhou Prefecture, he also wanted to vent his anger on her.
Want to burn Tan Xi and others to death.
Old Madam Wei snorted, "But even so, he burned the house so obviously, and poured so much kerosene, waiting for the Five Cities Army to find out whether this was a catastrophe or not..."
"This person is very shrewd." Wei An concluded calmly: "Everything he does has a purpose, and his moves are often unexpected. It's not just a simple burning of the house..."
It wouldn't be a simple burning of the house. When Mrs. Wei heard this, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart: "In your opinion, does he have any other tricks?"
Wei An nodded and said softly, "Grandma, Mr. Xie is a madman, but it's not impossible to guess what he's thinking. I think it's not just the house that's being burned, there might be accidents elsewhere as well."
Old Madam Wei frowned, coughed, and endured the itchy pain in her throat before asking, "Where did you rescue Xie Liangqing from last time?"
It was from the Yang family’s Jiminsu.
Wei An's mind moved, and he immediately looked at Old Lady Wei.
Old Madam Wei said, "As you said, he is a man with a lot of hatred. He will do anything to get revenge. And Xie Liangqing was saved by you before, and you saved him at the Yang family's Jimin Institute... For a person like him, we should always think from his perspective."
Wei An was completely awakened by Old Lady Wei, so what Old Lady Wei meant was that the next family to get into trouble would be the Yang family
But the problem is, even if he burned down the Yang family's relief center, what would it matter
It's not like he would burn down the Wei family's house and then burn down a relief center. Is this his complete revenge
There must be something she didn't expect...
While Wei An was thinking, Feicui reported through the door: "Madam, Princess, the people from the Five Cities Military Department are here. The Second Master, the Third Master, and the Fifth Master have invited them in."
The Wucheng Bingmasi had already invited Lin Hai away before, and now it was late at night, and they came again
Mrs. Wei's eyes were deep, and after a moment she asked, "He wants to see me?"
"No." Feicui had been allowed to come in, and she lowered her brows and said, "Commander Wu said he wanted to see the princess. He said he found something in our house... and wanted you to go and ask."
Wei An is the actual owner of this house, so she should be the one to be asked about what was found inside.
But now the house has been burned down, and it is obvious that someone has entered. No matter what is left behind, what does it have to do with Wei An
Old Mrs. Wei’s right eyelid was twitching violently.
Wei An patted the back of Mrs. Wei's hand soothingly and said softly, "Grandma, please send Uncle Rui to find Lin Yue. I want to try those people again."
Mrs. Wei immediately understood what Wei An meant, nodded quickly, and gently told Wei An: "No matter what they say, you don't have to listen."
Just insist that you have no knowledge of it.
After all, someone had deliberately set the fire. Even if weapons or bodies were found inside, so what? Maybe the murderer who burned the house deliberately stayed here to frame the owner, Wei An.
Just don't admit it.
When Wei An turned around and walked out the door, Old Madam Wei beckoned over Aunt Hua and sternly instructed her, "Let Wei Rui come. Also, let Lin Hai's family go to Prince Zheng's mansion at dawn and tell Prince Zheng exactly what happened today."
No matter what, we must take precautions.
She would never let Wei An get hurt.
She didn't think this out of thin air. She just felt that even if Mr. Xie was seeking revenge, he should have prioritized his actions. But he obviously didn't. If she explained it all in terms of revenge, it would be a bit forced...
