When Princess Chang'an received the news that Shen Chen had entered the palace, the Wei family also received the news.
Prince Zheng and Old Lady Wei sat at the top of the table. He tossed an orange back and forth in his hands. He coughed and said to Wei An as if chatting, "Shen Chen has been summoned to the palace again."
Wei An was cutting oranges for Prince Zheng and Old Lady Wei with a knife. Hearing this, he hummed, thinking that Prince Zheng wanted to ask about Jin Yuan, so he looked at him calmly and said, "Jin Yuan is dead."
King Zheng knew it, so he took the plate and put it beside him, sneering, "You're quick enough. First, they sent someone to provoke you, and then they said something like a sudden heart attack. It's obvious that they want to make it look like Jin Yuan committed suicide out of fear of punishment, so that you won't continue investigating."
It is indeed impossible to check.
No matter what, Jin Yuan is indeed dead.
And until his death, Jin Yuan never gave any key clues to prove that the second master Xie was related to the King of Chu's people.
Old Madam Wei sneered in a bad tone: "The people sent by Second Master Xie were purely deliberately drawing our attention to Jin Yuan, and then they killed Jin Yuan, and the clues came to an abrupt end. He was both warning us and giving us a warning..."
I just don't know who is supporting them from behind.
She paused and continued, "Mrs. Xie San came again yesterday and said that Mr. Xie San had sent a letter back and invited the elders of the clan and the local governor to explain his intention to divide the family."
The reason given was that the servants that Second Master Xie gave to Xie Liangqing were all traitors and almost caused Xie Liangqing to suffer a devastating disaster, and that Second Master Xie had ulterior motives.
He also said in the letter that Master Xie had told him his identity and that Master Xie had always hated him.
Since they were not born of the same mother and their father had passed away, Mr. Xie asked the second old master to make the decision and allow the brothers to separate and have nothing to do with each other from then on.
Mr. Xie's words were a mixture of truth and falsehood, and no one could fault him.
Master Xie and Master Xie II were unable to come out and explain the truth, as they had already agreed to split the family business.
Since the family has been divided and the government has been alerted, even if Second Master Xie does something in the future, there is no need to worry about implicating Third Master Xie.
Mrs. Wei sighed again after she finished speaking: "But even if this is the case, it is not a solution. People like Second Master Xie will not give up until they reach the Yellow River. There is no way he will give up."
The same applies to Wei An.
She put down the orange in her hand and spoke seriously to King Zheng: "This time when I go to the palace on New Year's Day, I will formally ask His Majesty and the Queen to allow me to return to my hometown."
Anyway, it's good to leave for a while.
The situation in the capital is becoming more and more complicated, and there is no telling when we will be dragged into this situation.
It’s better to avoid it for a while and have some peace and quiet.
This was something they had discussed before, but King Zheng did not agree this time. He put down the things in his hands, clapped his hands, shook his head and sighed: "It may not be the right time to go back to Yunnan now...
He looked at Old Lady Wei and frowned slightly: "I'm afraid we can't go to Yunnan for the time being..." Seeing that Old Lady Wei wanted to refute, he said: "Although the bombers in Yunnan have been killed, the overall situation is still a bit chaotic. After all, you are a member of the Ming family. If you go back at this time... ... you may cause trouble..."
Only then did Mrs. Wei think of this.
The new Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou has just arrived and is vigorously cracking down on the rebellious chieftains in Yunnan. Going to Yunnan at this time may indeed be easy for people with ulterior motives to take advantage of and frame you with false charges.
"If you want to avoid it for a while, there are many ways." King Zheng thought for a moment and said, "I remember Amin and the others went to Huizhou?"
Wei Yumin had been in Shandong with Zhu Yuan and Zhu Huan. Later, something happened in the eldest lady's family and they had to return to Huizhou to attend the funeral. Wei Yumin then took her children and followed the eldest lady to her parents' home in Huizhou.
It’s just that the eldest lady had always had a lot of unpleasantness with her in-laws. They wanted her to remarry, but she didn’t and even cut off all ties with them.
Now King Zheng mentioned this...
King Zheng knew that Old Lady Wei had already thought of this, so he told her without further ado: "Haven't you always been at a loss as to how to settle Amin? Huizhou has an open-minded society, and I heard that women are more popular. Amin might be able to have a new start there. Even if not, you can take this opportunity to find someone to marry Amin..."
Old Mrs. Wei began to ponder.
Going to Huizhou
It’s not impossible.
She had indeed not seen her eldest daughter-in-law and granddaughter for a long time, and she treated them as if they were on a long journey.
Prince Zheng touched Wei An's head and told her with a smile: "Huizhou is very interesting. There is the sea... You have never seen the sea since you were born. You can take this opportunity to walk around more. The capital city is expected to be in chaos. Your father is worried about you being here."
Wei An thought about it and realized that King Zheng must have known something in advance and was asking her and Old Lady Wei to avoid this vortex, so she responded in a low voice.
King Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with relief.
After he finished speaking, he told his daughter some more things, said goodbye to Old Madam Wei and was about to leave, but suddenly he remembered something, stopped and looked at Wei An, and asked her: "Do you think Achen will agree to marry Princess Yonghe?"
Old Mrs. Wei's heart bubbled up, and thinking of her previous thoughts, she couldn't help but look at King Zheng with scrutiny.
Why are you asking this out of the blue
Could it be that he has the same idea as me
She went to see Wei An again.
Wei An was obviously a little surprised, then he smiled: "Probably not."
Although she said it was only an approximation, her expression was very certain, as if she was very confident.
Old Mrs. Wei looked at Prince Zheng thoughtfully.
At the same time, Emperor Longqing was angrily asking Shen Chen: "What are you talking about?! Are you going to never get married in your life?!"
Everyone can see that Princess Yonghe was his favorite princess.
He was willing to marry Princess Yonghe to Shen Chen, which showed his respect for Shen Chen.
Although Shen Chen had said several times before that he must establish a career before starting a family, Emperor Longqing did not take it seriously, thinking that Shen Chen was just too young.
Now that I want to formally issue the marriage decree, I find that this guy is quite stubborn and will stick to his own opinion.
Empress Fang quickly stopped the furious Emperor Longqing, patted his chest and turned back to persuade Shen Chen: "This... When you reach your age, it's time to get married. Are you still single? Your uncle is doing this for your own good. You, kid, shouldn't be ungrateful..."
