Old Madam Wei did not ask her the purpose of Nanny Chen's visit. Some things could be guessed without using the brain, so there was no point in asking deliberately. Instead, she took advantage of the fact that the Third Master and the Second Master had gone to see someone off and talked to Wei An about Eunuch Xia: "He gave a red sandalwood walking stick and two ivory fans."
There was no sarcasm in her tone when she said this, but Wei An could hear a chill in her voice - more than a hundred members of the Ming family died at the hands of Emperor Longqing, so it was normal for Mrs. Wei to hate him.
After a while, Old Lady Wei started talking about the Zhu family again: "Eunuch Xia said that the emperor called Zhu Fang in and gave him a scolding. He has lost his job."
This is also very normal. Emperor Longqing must feel embarrassed. The Zhu family is best at flattering him. The Zhu family did this and destroyed their bridges. People all over the world would think that it was Emperor Longqing's intention. He lost his reputation because of the Zhu family, so he must teach Zhu Fang a lesson.
Mrs. Wei has now forced the Zhu family into this situation. Now it remains to be seen whether the Zhu family can be forced to reveal any clues.
As they were talking, the second and third masters came into the room after seeing off Eunuch Xia. Wei An hurriedly stood up and saluted.
The second master smiled and hurriedly told her to get up. The third master gave her a complicated look before turning around to talk to Old Madam Wei: "Since the Zhu family has learned their lesson and someone has come from the palace, you can't stay in the farm all the time..."
Old Madam Wei knew that it was not good to stay in the manor all the time. Even if she was really ill, Emperor Longqing would probably think that she was resentful. She smiled and said, "It's not reasonable for me to get better just after someone leaves. You can come and pick me up in a few days."
The second and third masters all agreed. The old lady invited them to have dinner and told them to go to Zhu's house to pick up Zhu Huan and Zhu Yuan before letting them go.
But the second and third masters were unable to leave. As soon as they reached the door, they were blocked and looked very unhappy.
Nanny Hua was just instructing the kitchen lady about tonight's menu in the corridor when she saw the two of them coming back in a hurry. She was a little stunned.
The second and third masters didn't care about anything else and hurried into the house. They said to the surprised old lady Wei with an unpleasant expression: "Mother, the road outside is blocked and a checkpoint has been set up. A team of Jinyiwei has come to our villa..."
When saying this, the Second Master could hardly control his worry, and looked at Old Madam Wei with a blank look in his eyes.
The Third Master was still calmer than him - there was no reason for that. Emperor Longqing had already personally sent Eunuch Xia to visit Old Madam Wei, so why would he suddenly attack the Wei family? !
Old Mrs. Wei was also startled, and her eyes suddenly opened with anger and a hint of worry.
Eunuch Xia had just come out of the palace, but he did not reveal at all that there were a large number of Jinyiwei in Tongzhou!
Why would the Imperial Guards come to Tongzhou to block the road and set up checkpoints for no reason? They even sent people to surround the mansion when they knew it was the Wei family's villa?!
Could it be Wei Rui and the others...
Mrs. Wei became so anxious that she choked on her breath and felt a sharp pain in the right side of her abdomen.
Wei An didn't show any surprise. He stepped forward and patted Old Lady Wei on the back, but he was thinking about things from his previous life.
She had never been to Tongzhou in her previous life. At this time, she was preparing for Zhuang Feng’s birthday in the Zhennan Palace. She remembered very clearly that a big event happened in Tongzhou on her tenth birthday.
The King of Chu was stabbed.
At that time, Prince Zheng was returning to Beijing to celebrate the birthday of Emperor Longqing. As it was getting late, he planned to stay overnight at Prince Zheng's villa in Tongzhou. However, he was attacked and seriously injured.
Later, a large number of Jinyiwei swarmed into Tongzhou. The incident caused a lot of uproar for a while. Finally, it was found out that it was done by a man from Daxing. He was very skilled and had been hiding in the villa of King Zheng, pretending to be an old man, and then he suddenly attacked and injured people.
The whole thing was filled with inexplicable weirdness, and Emperor Longqing didn't take it seriously at first, until later, when he dug out the name of Prince Linjiang from the old man's mouth...
Wei An thought about this and was not sure if it was all about King Zheng, but he still held the old lady's hand and whispered to comfort her: "Grandma, don't worry..."
Manager Lin, who had gone out to gather information earlier, had hurried back. He could not care less at this moment and replied in a low voice: "Madam, Second Master and Third Master, I'm afraid this road will have to be closed overnight... They are searching every house, as if they are searching for someone..."
Search people
Didn’t the assassin get caught on the spot in the previous life
Wei An was also a little confused. Besides being confused, he also felt a little uneasy. Could it be that things have changed in this life
Old Madam Wei forced herself to calm down. Seeing that the second and third masters were very worried, she frowned and ordered Steward Lin: "Keep a close eye on the people below. Go check the roster with all the people in the mansion. If there is anyone who doesn't match the roster, bring them here! Also, tell them to close the door and no one is allowed to come in or out! No one is allowed in, no matter what they are doing outside!"
The secret that she had worked so hard to protect for many years must not be discovered because of this sudden accident!
Old Madam Wei had never spoken so harshly to anyone before. Manager Lin was startled and quickly responded. Old Madam Wei pointed at the Third Master and the Second Master and said, "You go there in person. If you are looking for someone, you must not let this person appear in our house... Our family can't afford these consequences..."
Without Mrs. Wei's explanation, the second and third masters also knew the seriousness of the matter. They did not dare to delay at all and agreed in unison and went out in person.
Wei An grabbed Old Lady Wei's hand and sat next to her: "Grandma, when we came to the manor, didn't we hear that King Zheng was also in Tongzhou? His manor is in Baihe Manor, very close to our Gaojia Manor... Maybe he has had an accident..."
The expression on Mrs. Wei's face changed almost immediately, and a cold look flashed in her eyes.
Wei An then remembered who this Prince Zheng was - he was Ming Yuyou's husband, the legendary sinister villain who disregarded his wife's life and death in order to please Emperor Longqing.
She remembered that King Zheng seemed to be dead in the previous life.
He did not die in the assassination, but the assassination seriously injured him, so he died not long after.
This was his retribution. Wei An held Old Lady Wei's hand tighter: "Grandma, we can't do anything. We just have to wait and see..."
The Wei family must not be involved in anything in the court at the moment, otherwise they might be caught by the people behind the scenes and given a fatal blow...
