Direct bloodline
She thought Wei Yulong had already learned the principle that blood is thicker than water.
She coldly wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and patted her skirt as if Wei Yulong's hands were dirty, and stood up, saying softly, "It's too late."
Wei Yulong suddenly calmed down, staring at her with his eyes, and finally showed weakness with the last glimmer of hope: "I won't make trouble anymore, I was wrong, I kowtow to grandma, I will apologize to grandma..."
She looked at Wei An, tears in her eyes and pitiful expression: "I will never do anything wrong again, please don't send me to the family temple..."
Princess Zhennan died quietly in her ancestral temple.
No one tortured her. She just couldn't stand the loneliness and hanged herself.
To put it nicely, the green lamp and the ancient Buddha are free from the troubles of the world. To put it bluntly, it is a hard life of eating vegetables and radishes without even a little oil or salt.
She couldn't bear it.
She was spoiled from childhood. Even in Suzhou, the cooks took great pains to learn Gan cuisine and Hunan cuisine in the hope that she would use more of them. She was used to wearing silk and satin and using rouge and powder. How could she endure that kind of life
Wei An couldn't help but find it funny.
It's funny but also a bit chilling.
The death of the old princess did not wake her up.
The coldness and suffering she had experienced these days did not wake her up.
It was the hard days ahead that made her admit her mistakes.
How ridiculous and sad this is.
Even Zhuang Rong couldn't help but wave his sleeves: "You are really hopeless!"
Is he hopeless? Wei Yulong grabbed Wei An's skirt and refused to let go, crying: "After all, I just want to think more about myself. If you were in my position, would you be able to do better than me? I originally had everything... I was just blinded by jealousy..."
She wiped her tears and said hurriedly: "Even if my grandmother was still alive, she would never let me suffer."
"I also can't bear to see my grandmother lonely underground." Wei An's patience was completely exhausted. He didn't want to say another word to her. He said softly, "Since you know you are wrong, go to the temple and pray for her. This way, you can wash away the grievances on your body as soon as possible and escape from the sea of suffering. Isn't that good?"
She pried open Wei Yulong's fingers one by one, and repeated earnestly and stubbornly: "You have never really suffered, so you always feel that others have treated you unfairly. Now you go through it bit by bit, and if one day you figure it out, maybe your uncle will be willing to let you go."
Wei Yulong was so angry that he couldn't help but blurt out: "Then I'd rather die by crashing into this pillar right now!"
Wei An looked at her until she could not help but turn away her eyes. Then he couldn't help but smile and said, "Well, if you really die in the accident, I might look at you with a higher regard."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Zhuang Rong and left Wei Yulong behind without hesitation.
Prince Zhennan was already waiting for her in the hall. When he heard that she wanted to send Wei Yulong to the ancestral temple, he hesitated for a moment before nodding: "My original idea was to let her go cleanly. Since you said you want her to live in seclusion, then so be it."
Wei An knew that the Prince of Zhennan was upset, so he didn't say anything more. He just said, "She doesn't know what's wrong. If we let her die, it would be a relief for her. It's better to let her live for a long time."
Without fame and identity, one can only watch others live a colorful life in the world with envy and jealousy. This is the cruelest revenge for such a person.
Prince Zhennan sighed. He was really exhausted by the old princess's funeral. In order to prepare for the funeral and deal with all kinds of inquiries, he seemed to have aged by more than ten years.
He glanced at Wei An, but still cheered up and asked her about what happened in the palace.
"I left the palace a long time ago so I don't know what happened in the palace." He lowered his voice: "Why did Prime Minister Xia make a fuss later... ... The Xia family was accused of colluding with the rebels?"
Wei An briefly told him the general situation and said lightly: "In fact, it all comes down to Chu Jingxing's unwillingness."
"Unwilling?" The Prince of Zhennan was somewhat incredulous, and after a while he burst into laughter: "Just because of these three words 'unwilling', he actually did such a stupid thing. No wonder the Prince of Linjiang sent someone back with a memorial, asking the Saint to remove him from the position of Crown Prince and replace him with someone else. He was not worthy of that position in the first place."
He does things without considering the consequences. His great cause is not even complete yet, and he has already started to engage in infighting among his brothers. He is really a hopeless case.
Wei An didn't know about this yet, so he tilted his head and asked, "Deprive the crown prince of his position?"
Prince Zhennan patted his forehead and said, "Yes, I forgot to tell you this. You have been keeping vigil for the old princess and have not left the house for the past two days..."
He told the story of the Prince of Linjiang sending a messenger back to ask Emperor Longqing to change the crown prince, and then said, "I heard that he even asked the messenger to list his crimes on the spot and said he would take him back to his fiefdom."
At that time, Shen Chen kept saying that Chu Jingxing's punishment was coming later, but it turned out to be here.
In the end, he chose to let King Linjiang end this disaster himself.
This is also good. Although Shen Chen seemed to be a little too indecisive on the issue of Chu Jingxing, to be honest, it is always better to be humane than to be inhumane.
When she thought of this, her heart suddenly skipped a beat for some reason.
But she quickly suppressed it subconsciously, remembering that Chu Jingxing was going back to his fiefdom.
Will Chu Jingxing really just sit there and wait for others to decide his fate
Prince Zhennan knew what she was thinking, so he said, "He has no other choice. Prince Linjiang has made a heroic decision, and the Saint is going to use Prince Linjiang at this time. How can he not agree to his request? Chu Jingxing should stop dreaming about the position of the Crown Prince. Besides, Prince Linjiang came prepared, and many people followed him back to see the couple off."
The implication was that King Linjiang had already sent people to watch him closely, and Chu Jingxing could no longer cause any trouble.
Wei An still hadn't completely let go of the anger in his heart.
This time, his clever move of letting Yuan Yi escape did indeed cause Chu Jingxing to suffer great damage, but Chu Jingxing was not affected in the end, so he was still free.
In addition to Yuan Yi and those people from the Xiao family, he also has the support of Princess Chang'an. How could Princess Chang'an sit back and watch her daughter suffer with Chu Jingxing
It is impossible for Ru Ran to let her daughter suffer with Chu Jingxing. Now that I have the leverage over her, I'm afraid there will be a big fight.
She thought for a while, and then Lan He came in and said that it was Old Madam Wei who asked her to go back.
