Spring Secrets

Chapter 967: One hundred and sixty-eight. Slander

Views:

Mr. Kong's statement was immediately refuted by the Rongchang Marquis' Mansion. They said that what Mr. Kong said was clearly a lie. Is there anyone who would joke about his own legs

It was Gongfeng Kong who set the bones and prescribed the medicine. Out of trust in him, they did not ask other doctors to see him. Who would have known that the patient's condition would get worse day by day.

If Emperor Longqing had not appointed Wang Gongfeng, Marquis Rongchang would have died.

Who would joke about their own life

At this point, Emperor Longqing also felt that Kong Gongfeng was a suspect and handed this unsolved case over to the Jinyiwei for trial.

Jinyiwei... ...

Wei An’s mind moved.

If it was handed over to the Embroidered Uniform Guards, why would the Third Lady be involved

Old Madam Wei thought the same thing. When she saw that Lin Hai had stopped talking, she frowned and asked, "What did the Jinyiwei find out?"

"Mr. Kong insisted that he did nothing, did not miss the opportunity, and did not harm Marquis Rongchang. The Jinyiwei interrogated him but found nothing. But when they interrogated his medicine boy... they found some clues." Lin Hai lowered his head even more: "The medicine boy confessed that Mr. Kong did intend to murder Marquis Rongchang, so he deliberately set his bones incorrectly and prescribed medicine to make the wound worse."

What a joke.

Old Madam Wei sneered: "Everyone in this world is a fool! Only Master Kong would be crazy to do this."

How could anyone with a bit of common sense do such a stupid thing? !

The Feng family's methods of framing others are always so despicable that it is simply unbearable to watch.

Lin Hai waited for her to finish before continuing, "The Third Young Master also said so. He felt that the motive for this case was unclear. But the medicine boy said... Mr. Kong actually already had a grudge against him."

He paused, carefully looked up at Wei An, and continued, "The medicine boy pointed out that Kong Gongfeng was resentful of Rongchang Marquis's mansion because of the instigation of the Third Madam, and also said that the Third Madam hated Feng Shuyuan especially because of the Princess's matter. This time, seeing that Rongchang Marquis was in trouble and his father was treating Rongchang Marquis, he wanted to tease Rongchang Marquis."

This explanation is a bit too far-fetched.

But some people just believed it. After all, Rongchang Hou was really unable to get out of bed and nearly lost his life. This self-torture trick was so realistic that no matter how absurd the reason was, people couldn't help but believe it.

Old Madam Wei sneered, but there was no smile in her eyes: "I have learned a lot. The Feng family can be so despicable."

Concubine Feng played a big role in the death of Empress Ming.

Later, the Feng family even wanted to plot against the Wei family.

Old Madam Wei has never had a good impression of the Feng family, but she has always adhered to the principle of less trouble is worse than more. And seeing that the Feng family was in decline because of Concubine Feng's affairs, she was unwilling to step forward and step on them.

The Feng family has just regained its glory, but now they are setting their sights on the Wei family.

The Feng family is really... as despicable as ever.

Mrs. Wei said this in a very decisive and impolite manner. Lin Hai lowered his head and said, "Madam, Princess, the Third Madam is in a difficult situation now. I received the news that I'm afraid that tomorrow the Third Madam will have to..."

That's why I came here in such a hurry, without caring about anything else.

Old Madam Wei said, "Tomorrow when I arrive in Beijing, the first thing I should do is to go to the palace to pay my respects to the Empress Defei and the Empress Shufei."

And Emperor Longqing must also want to see her.

She wanted to sort this matter out.

Wei An raised his eyebrows. His focus was obviously different from that of Old Lady Wei. He just asked Lin Hai, "You just said that the Third Madam has always held a grudge against Feng Shuyuan. Did the medicine boy tell you why he held a grudge?"

Lin Hai shook his head in confusion: "I didn't say that..."

Old Madam Wei also looked at Wei An and asked her, "Have you thought of something?"

Wei An nodded: "What a coincidence, the timing is just too coincidental. Why was there nothing wrong for the past six months? But this happened just when we were about to return to Beijing. This is not aimed at Third Aunt, but at me."

She thought for a moment and then asked, "Is there any news in Beijing recently?"

In the past, the Third and Second Madams would write to Old Madam Wei and Wei An to tell them about the developments in the capital. Recently, because Old Madam Wei was about to leave for home, her schedule could not be stabilized and it was inconvenient to exchange letters, so they stopped temporarily.

Lin Hai thought about it carefully before saying, "Yes... I heard that Concubine De wanted to be a matchmaker for the Prince of Linjiang. She was talking about Rongchang Marquis's sister Feng Shuyuan. But later, for some reason, it didn't work out. And... Princess Yonghe returned to the palace."

Mrs. Wei's expression suddenly turned grim.

Princess Yonghe's return to the palace at this critical moment is like a troublemaker who can easily mess up such a good situation.

Wei An was not angry, but smiled: "I see."

She sat in her seat and said without any emotion: "Feng Shuyuan has always been a dog under Princess Yonghe. She has been quiet for half a year, but it's just because she didn't know who to bite without her master. Now that her master is back, it's time for her to do something meritorious. If she does this well, I don't know what Princess Yonghe promised her. Could it be to marry Chu Jingwu?"

That's really interesting.

Old Madam Wei's expression became uglier and uglier as she spoke. She paused for a moment before she said with a complicated expression, "If it is really Princess Yonghe who is behind this, then..."

That would be troublesome.

Emperor Longqing had already punished Princess Yonghe once for Wei An, and the punishment was severe. How could he bear to punish his own daughter for an outsider again

Wei An knew what Old Lady Wei meant and smiled coldly: "It's not a rare thing. They are just like this. Seeing that we are about to return to Beijing, they are just giving us a warning."

The purpose of this show of force is to kill the Third Madam and Mr. Kong. This show of force is really heavy enough.

Old Madam Wei frowned: "Marquis Rongchang's injury is real, and the medicine boy is very serious and convincing... What should we do..."

"Is Rongchang Marquis still young?" Wei An suddenly asked, and then answered himself: "I remember that all the adults in the Feng family were killed. This Rongchang Marquis ascended to this position when he was seven years old. He is now sixteen years old."

Sixteen years old is not too old, but also not too young.

Old Mrs. Wei looked at Wei An thoughtfully.

Wei An laughed again: "At this age, you still don't have your own opinion? Are you really willing to sacrifice a leg to help your sister find a future? Even if he is willing, will the wife of Rongchang Marquis, who lives on him, agree?"
