Just asking in vain
After Eunuch An left, Madam Wei frowned and told Madam Hua to call Tan Xi in. She was puzzled, "Come to think of it, it's really strange that she suddenly asked about the ownership of the clinic."
I don’t know what’s going on in the palace.
Wei An thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out the purpose of Eunuch An's sudden question. Just as he was about to speak, Old Madam Wei suddenly seemed to remember: "Oh, there is another letter I forgot to give you."
Wei An was stunned.
"It was sent by Xie Liangcheng. It was delivered yesterday, but you went to Rongchang Marquis Mansion, so it was not delivered to you. It was too late when you came back, so I didn't think about it for a while." Mrs. Wei took the letter from Feicui and handed it to Wei An: "It said that it must be delivered to you personally, and I don't know what it is. Take a look for yourself."
Wei An hurriedly took the letter and opened it to read.
She thought something had happened to Xie Liangcheng again, but she was relieved after reading it. She explained softly to Mrs. Wei: "It's about the Ping An Escort Agency. My brother has found all the former escorts and the Ping An Escort Agency has reopened."
She was happy. When she mentioned her brother, her eyes curved slightly, as if there were stars hidden in them, so bright that it moved people.
Old Mrs. Wei also became happy: "It's a good thing, it's a good thing. Ah Cheng is a man with his own ideas. In such a short time, he was able to sort out all these relationships..."
Wei An's eyes brightened a little, and he smiled and shook his head: "Brother said in the letter that Shen Chen had already given him all the relationship maps in the northwest, and that Shen Chen also sent people to help deal with the affairs of his clan."
No matter how capable Xie Liangcheng is, he is still a mortal, and it is impossible for everything to go smoothly for him. After all, Second Master Xie has been in control of the family for so many years, and this time Second Master Xie has lost everything.
But Master Xie San still does not have the final say in the clan.
After all, on the day of the division, those clansmen all accused Master Xie San of being a bastard.
When Xie Liangcheng first went back, he was almost completely in the dark. Even though Old Master Xie only had one son left, Master Xie San, all the members of the Xie family wanted to keep the family property for themselves and did not want anyone else to take a share of this fortune. Therefore, they refused to cooperate and some were even bold enough to want to kill Master Xie San.
The Xie clan had already controlled the economic network of Jingxi and had the government as a talisman. The prefect and the governor of Shanxi were both their acquaintances and had business dealings with them, so they would not favor Xie Liangcheng.
Shen Chen had already anticipated all this and had reminded Xie Liangcheng in advance. He also gave him his housekeeper and several personal guards from his time in Jiangxi so that they could help him manage the officialdom.
The two stewards were from the Pingxi Marquis' Mansion. Although they were over fifty years old, they were more energetic than the other. Moreover, they had experience, having mingled in the circle of power and wealth for many years, and they knew how to take the pulse of the people.
However, within these three or four months, they had already compiled the evidence of bribery by Mr. Xie and others, and then presented it to the prefect and the governor.
With this thing, Mr. Xie San continued to give money to the prefect and others, and did not stop anything, so the prefect and the governor shut up.
Once the officials shut their mouths, others will naturally not be able to achieve anything.
Xie Liangcheng fought and defended himself, and finally cleaned up the mess left by the second master Xie, and reintegrated the power of the Xie family.
Wei An smiled, and with a sense of relief, he said softly, "He has finally fulfilled his wish. From now on, A-Qing, his uncle, and his aunt will all be fine."
This has always been the inner demon that has been haunting Wei An.
She had avoided the same experience as in her previous life, so she didn't want Xie Liangcheng to end up like him.
Finally, in this life, Xie Liangcheng can escape the fate of his family being destroyed in the previous life.
Seeing that she was happy and confused, Mrs. Wei reached out and held her hand. She couldn't help but smiled and shook her head: "Silly child, if it's a happy thing, why are you sad? You should be happy for him."
Wei An nodded heavily and told Mrs. Wei: "Oh, grandma, there is something else. My brother said... The Xie family used to smuggle salt and iron. The lion's share naturally went to King Cheng. Later, after they joined Princess Chang'an and Chu Jingxing, the lion's share naturally went to them. He said that the silver is not important. What is important is the people who are involved in this line... The Xie family will no longer do this kind of business to make money. Then everything that the second master Xie did before is a hidden danger."
Old Madam Wei understood: "He means that he wants to deal with all these hidden dangers?"
"I thought about it. Chu Jingxing was also involved in these things. Most of his people died in this earthquake. It's not a big deal. But there are still some..." Wei An frowned, "The people in Shanxi and the people in charge of salt and iron, they also benefited. If any of them leak it, it will be troublesome. Besides, they are indeed termites, greedy and insatiable. They deserve retribution for their greed."
That's the truth. If they give out the Prince of Linjiang at that time, even though Chu Jingxing is already dead, he is still the son of the Prince of Linjiang, which will be detrimental to the Prince of Linjiang's future reputation and actions.
She thought about it before saying, "I think we should tell King Linjiang about this matter. We don't have to do it ourselves."
Wei An had the same idea. Seeing that Old Madam Wei also thought so, he said, "Since you say so, I will think of a way to inform Chu Jingwu."
Chu Jingwu is the new prince of Prince Linjiang. Now that Shen Chen is not in the capital, he is the best person to represent Prince Linjiang. Talking to him is equivalent to telling Prince Linjiang.
Because of Shen Chen, Wei An has always had a good relationship with him.
Old Madam Wei nodded in agreement and patted Wei An's head again: "Eunuch An came back with a friendly face this time. Although the questions he asked were a bit strange, one thing is certain, he will not mention anything like pushing the princess down in the future. He will not think that this is your problem..."
In other words, it was impossible for Princess Yonghe to slander Wei An and dethrone her and accuse her of treason.
Concubine Peng De may have also contributed to this.
But now Emperor Longqing’s attitude is clear. If he does not admit this incident, then it means that this incident never happened.
Concubine Peng De, Feng Shuyuan and Princess Yonghe had planned so much for so long this time, but in the end, all their efforts were in vain. All they did was let the whole capital know about their domineering and bullying nature.
