Chapter 71
Wei Jie’s guess was not wrong. The rebels were indeed heading towards the Jianhe River. Hearing that they had set up camp and rested on the spot, they hurriedly began to cross the river. Wei Jie had already ordered people to explore the surrounding terrain, and ordered three thousand light cavalry to take a long detour to ambush them. Then he led a team of men and horses to pursue him from behind.
After crossing the Jianhe River, the terrain became more dangerous. The mountain road was narrow and they could only move forward in formation. The rebels were exhausted from wading across the river without caring about their head and tail. They were suddenly ambushed by Qi soldiers. They didn't know how many troops they had. The morale of the army was in great confusion and they became panic-stricken. At this time, there were still more than 10,000 rebels who had not yet crossed the river. Wei Jie and Xia Houxin surrounded them and ordered their men to shout loudly about the surrender of their commander. The rebels in the rear lost their fighting spirit and surrendered one after another.
By nightfall, Zhao Tong's two generals had been killed by Wei Jie. Human heads were hung on spears to show military power.
The snow had stopped at night, and Xue Li didn't see Wei Jie for a long time, and he gradually began to feel irritable. He couldn't help but ask Jin Zhen: "I'm going back after sunset, why haven't I seen him yet? Could it be that he overestimated his ability?"
Xue Li glanced at the snow tiger again, and it was still standing there majestically. , she looked into the distance again but still saw no one.
If Wei Jie dies, what should happen to the poison in her body? If someone bullies her, who should she look for to protect her?
Thinking of this, she was on pins and needles. She couldn't help but jump off the carriage and walked towards the road ahead. Jin Zheng followed her obediently.
"Where is Mrs. Xue going?"
Xue Li thought that he was asking knowingly and did not answer his question, but said: "Although it is dark, the snow light is so bright, he should be able to see that Jin Qinghui will be with him. ."
The more she spoke, the more anxious she became, and she whispered: "If you continue to fight at night, your master will be in trouble."
Jin Zheng said unconcernedly: "My master never waits until dark."
"I am so arrogant. People."
The white snow reflected the night, and even if he didn't hold up a light, he could still see the road ahead clearly, but for Wei Jie, the scenery in front of him was still a bit blurry.
Xia Houxin was slightly injured while capturing the general's leader. After the victory, he hung the enemy's head on a spear and held it high up in a showy manner. The smelly blood was sprinkled all over his body, but he still stood in front and led the way with dignity.
Wei Jie didn't want to go with him and followed him slowly at a distance. The light armor on his body was stained with a few bloodstains. He was a little impatient and just wanted to go back and take it off earlier.
A large number of people and horses walked through the avenue, and the sound of footsteps was extremely shocking. Xue Li heard it soon, and his footsteps became faster and faster. When she saw the human head raised from the spear, she immediately stopped. Then she suppressed her nausea and hurriedly looked for Wei Jie.
Xia Houxin saw two black figures in the distance and quickly recognized them as Xue Li. He then galloped over and waved his spear to show her off, with undisguised pride on his face. "Did you see it? This is Xu Cheng, the general under Zhao Shiduan. I personally captured one man and one horse..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xue Li screamed and turned his head.
"Get away quickly!" She was frightened and annoyed, as if the bloody beard was about to touch her. Xia Houxin frightened her so much that she staggered and almost fell down.
It was probably because her barely standing posture was slightly funny. She seemed to hear Jin Zheng laugh, fast and light, like an illusion. When she looked back angrily, he still had an expressionless face. Face. Xue Li said angrily: "
Where is Wei Jie, where is he?"
, why don't you follow me from now on..."
Before he could finish, Xue Li had already passed him to the rear, and asked as he walked: "Where is Wei Lanzhang?"
Wei Jie soon heard the comments of the people around him, mixed with some Embracing and teasing, the deputy general beside him couldn't help but ask: "Why is that lady here too?"
He pursed his thin lips into a faint smile, "Maybe I haven't seen me for a long time, so I feel a little uneasy. "
He couldn't see clearly which one of the mixed figures in front was Xue Li, but Xue Li found him soon.
"Cousin!" Xue Li walked around the soldiers and horses and walked towards him quickly. .
It was dark all around Wei Jie, and Xue Li's voice became closer and closer, as if a ray of light split the night, and this ray of light came only for him.
She was panting and stopped in front of Wei Jie. Just as she was about to tiptoe to reach Wei Jie on the horse, he leaned down and touched her cheek.
"Your hands are so cold." She complained and hid to one side. Wei Jie smiled and asked, "Are you worried about me, so you can't wait any longer?"
Xue Li did not deny it and subconsciously moved Wei Jie's palm. He wrapped it up and rubbed it, and said dissatisfiedly: "My cousin has always been courteous to others, but now he is arrogant and arrogant. You promised to return home at sunset, but you broke your promise."
Wei Jie turned over and dismounted, and the waiter took the reins and stepped aside.
Xue Li then approached him and whispered: "It's dark, cousin, don't be afraid, I'll take you back."
He was held by her, chuckled and nodded in agreement.
Then he added: "I just asked someone to catch fish for you in the river. I didn't mean to waste time."
She complained a few days ago that she hadn't eaten fish for a long time, but Wei Jie actually had the thought to order someone to fish for her after the battle. .
Just thinking about the heads he saw just now, Xue Li still felt sick, so he lowered his voice and scolded Xia Houxin severely. Then he looked at Wei Jie again, and saw his soft armor with some dark red stains, and suddenly remembered that Wei Jie had changed his clothes every time he saw her after a battle, and he had never been full of blood.
Realizing this, she suddenly felt an indescribable subtle feeling in her heart. Realizing that Wei Jie loved her so much, she should feel proud or disdainful in her heart, instead of feeling blocked in her throat and upset like she did now.
Zhao Tong lost several generals. The Qi army took advantage of the victory and pursued it, ambushing nearly 30,000 men. The army congratulated one after another and praised Wei Jie for his resourcefulness. News of the victory soon spread to Luoyang and other places.
Zhao Tong's overwhelming siege was finally forced to a halt. The combined losses in large and small battles severely weakened him, and he had to first go around to win over the aristocratic families and appease the restless soldiers.
Wei Jie only needs to discuss with Wei Heng who is far away in Songzhou at this moment, and take the opportunity to suppress Zhao Tong. If the time is right, it would not be a bad idea to destroy him in one fell swoop.
When Xue Li heard the good news coming frequently, he couldn't help but worry about how to resolve the mysterious number in the future. Along the way, the winter snow melted, and there was spring in the mountains and fields. When he was not in a hurry, Wei Jie would take Xue Li around on horseback to enjoy the scenery.
Just when she temporarily forgot about her troubles because of this rare leisure time, an uninvited guest came to Wei Jie and wanted to see her.
This was the first time someone other than Xue Ling asked to meet, and Xue Li agreed without much thought.
However, as soon as the man turned around, she froze on the spot.
The man has a handsome face and a pair of affectionate eyes that are very similar to hers. Even though he is middle-aged, he still has no concealment of his elegant demeanor, but his eyes are now blue and black, and he looks extremely tired.
As soon as Xue Ke saw Xue Li, he quickly stepped forward to hold her hand and said with tears in his eyes: "Ms. Li, it's really you! Are you the goddess in the prophecy?"
Xue Li didn't want to admit it, so he said expressionlessly Asked him: "Dad and I haven't seen each other for several years, and I can't even recognize him. Why are you looking for me now?"
Xue Ke held her hand and cried, helplessly saying: "I don't know. It’s time for you, mother and daughter, to be dragged down and humiliated. You have not dared to see each other for many years, but now it seems that we are really in trouble. I want to see you again, so that I can feel relieved to see that you are safe and well..."
Xue Li saw Xue Ke's coy look, and finally understood how Wei Jie usually sneered at her acting, pulled out his hand impatiently, and said: "Father, tell me what you want to say."
Xue Ke said to Wei Jie He glanced in the direction and asked her in a low voice: "Ms. Li, you and Wei Lanzhang are now..."
Xue Li could feel Wei Jie's eyes falling on him. After hesitating for a long time, he had to bite the bullet and said: "I have been pleased with my cousin for a long time. , I have made a private life-long commitment with him."
Xue Ke shook her arm approvingly.
"That's how I live up to your good looks."
"Why on earth is father here?" She asked impatiently, and Xue Ke started to cry again with a frown on his face.
"Although I haven't seen you for a long time, Dad has always been thinking about you mother and daughter. Among the children, you are the most beloved to me." He patted the back of Xue Li's hand. "Dad has accumulated some wealth over the years. How about entrusting it to you in the future?"
Xue Li immediately understood.
"Do they two want to become officials?" A lowly merchant was the first among the richest merchants in the world. As long as he was not from a noble family, he would always be laughed at. How could Xue Ke's son be so willing to follow his path. It just so happened that he was being targeted by people from the Wei family. Hearing that the goddess had been kidnapped by Wei Jie, he wanted to test it out so that he could use her identity to find a future for himself.
Xue Li sneered again and again.
Sure enough, it was her biological father who had plotted against his daughter.

Chapter 72
Xue Li exposed his thoughts. Xue Ke showed no guilt on his face, but became more and more calm, saying: "The two of them are short-sighted and not as smart and sensible as you. In troubled times, the official career is so difficult, they have their eyes above the top." , you don’t understand my painstaking efforts at all. Mother Li, you are a woman and your official career is hopeless. Why not join me in business? Once you have money, you will have someone to rely on. Dad will never treat you badly."
Xue Li understood that Xue Ke always said what he said . It sounds good, not because I really want her to be good, but because she is very useful now. Not only can she advise Wei Jie by his side, but if the plan fails in the future, she will have the opportunity to switch to Zhao Tong and his son. And if you can establish a relationship with a wealthy family, it will be of great benefit in the future.
Although she was dissatisfied, she still couldn't help but feel a little moved when she heard the word "reliance".
After experiencing so many things, she has understood that it is far better to rely on others than to rely on yourself. For Xue Ke to be where she is today, she must have her own knowledge that can be taught to her. Even though she is using it, she does not get nothing, so there is nothing wrong with it.
Xue Li lowered his eyes and said with emotion: "Dad, why are you thinking about Mother Li? If the career of the two younger brothers does not go well in the future, wouldn't it be that I have worked hard to cultivate and let others take advantage of it?"
Xue Ke understood after hearing this. Xue Li had no intention of rejecting him, but was worried that if he helped him, his two younger brothers would take advantage of him in the future, so he was worried. After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and agreed: "It's absolutely impossible, you are also my daughter. , How could a father be so biased? As Wei Langjun testifies, my father will definitely focus on you in the future, and I will not care about the future of the two of them."
Xue Li turned to look at Wei Jie, and he nodded slightly, indicating that she should agree. Xue Li's suspicion at the beginning was confirmed at this moment. She said that Xue Ke could not find her after traveling thousands of miles, and Wei Jie was indispensable behind her. It was poison and her father. Wei Jie really put a lot of thought into it, using sugar, arsenic and frost on her just to trap her tightly.
Xue Li talked with Xue Ke for half an hour before she realized how he got to where he is today. Now that the war is going on, Xue Ke also intends to move to Luoyang. Before the rebellion of the three kings, he had saved a lot of gold and silver through commercial transportation. At the beginning of the rebellion, he hired people to dig cellars to store grain. Then the war lasted for too long, and there was a severe drought. It was difficult for the people to farm, and the price of rice soared to 100 per kilogram. Five thousand dollars has now reached ten thousand dollars. The slaves, chariots and horses he kept also played a role, and he could even send weapons and horses to Zhao Tong.
In order to force Xue Ke to surrender to him, Wei Jie secretly blocked his way to Zhao Tong. Now that he had offended Zhao Tong, he could only hope for Wei's protection.
Although he is also a snobbish person, he still feels a little guilty in his heart for his daughter whom he has not seen for a long time. It is rare that he does not hide it when teaching him how to make money. But at the end, he still couldn't help but ask: "I only found out in Jiangdong that you had made an engagement with Pingyuan Hou Shizi, and then how could you be abducted by the King of Junshan, and now you are with Wei Lanzhang... You let me I'm impressed."
When Xue Ke left home, Xue Li was still a little girl who was not very good-looking. Later, when he returned home, although she was already very beautiful and charming, there was only a fleeting glance between father and daughter. He didn't even say a few words. The eldest daughter in his memory had always been gentle and quiet, so when he learned that the rumored Wu daughter was actually related to Xue Li, he waved his hands and said it was impossible.
Xue Li glanced at him and said: "Dad has not returned for many years, but he has become famous and has become a wealthy businessman. This also makes Li Niang look at him with admiration."
Xue Ke abandoned his wife and daughter and ignored them for many years. , when Xue Li said this, he was immediately embarrassed and speechless. After sitting there for a long time, he found an excuse and left.
When Xue Li returned to the camp, Wei Jie had already washed up. His black hair was disheveled, the ends of his hair were slightly damp, and there were several dark water stains on his black robe. There was a bowl of soup on the desk. Xue Li couldn't help but frown after just taking a look at it.
Taking the antidote once every five days, she still had some doubts in her heart. However, Wei Jie had drugged her before and almost strangled her to death. She was not sure what he could do, so I still have to drink this medicine.
After Xue Li reluctantly drank the medicine, he drank a cup of tea to dispel the bitterness in his mouth.
When Wei Jie finished handling the important tasks and looked at Xue Li, she was copying poems on paper out of boredom.
"Are you sleepy?" he asked.
Xue Li shook his head and didn't look at him.
It wasn't until the candlelight in front of her was blocked, casting a large shadow in front of her, that she turned her head and looked at Wei Jie who was close to him.
He put his hand on her waist and rubbed it a few times with unknown meaning.
Xue Li leaned aside and whispered: "I'm still tired today..."
Wei Jie stared at her for a while, seeming a little regretful, and finally sat back in front of the desk without doing anything else.
Xue Li breathed a sigh of relief and ignored him. After a while, she put the pen aside and turned to look at Wei Jie, only to find that he was still looking at her with burning eyes, as if he hadn't given up yet.
After meeting Xue Li's gaze, he blinked, his long eyelashes quivering slightly, and he could actually see a bit of desire.
"Mother Oriole," he approached slowly, put one hand on Xue Li's cheek, and pressed his thumb on her lips, his tone seemed threatening and coaxing. "Let's give it a try."
There was a continuous spring rain outside the camp, and you could vaguely hear the rustle of the rain hitting the trees. However, inside the camp, the movement from the outside world had faded away, leaving only the two people standing between them, shouting and shouting. The breath becomes extremely clear.
Xue Li's black hair was entangled between Wei Jie's fingers, as cold as water. The atmosphere in the tent seemed to have become clammy and sticky due to the drizzle, which really made people feel unenergetic.
Xue Li pushed Wei Jie away, knelt on the ground and coughed a few times.
Knowing that he had gone too far, Wei Jie handed over the tea and wiped her with a clean handkerchief, but Xue Li opened his hand viciously. After the crisp slap, a red mark was immediately left on the back of his hand.
Xue Li glanced at Wei Jie. His face was slightly red, and his eyes were filled with lust that had not subsided, and there was even a glimmer of water in his eyes, which made her even more angry.
"If you are really angry, I can help you..." Before Wei Jie could finish speaking, Xue Li glared at him with shame, anger and grievance, and said angrily: "Stop talking."
He had no choice but to ignore the matter and lean forward. He touched the corner of her lips and said after a moment: "The innermost tooth on your left side is a bit sharp." "
Wei Jie, you... don't bully others too much!"
The battle situation stabilized slightly, it was already March in Yangchun, Wei Jie no longer needed to fight. He wrote a campaign against the rebels, and went to lobby many wealthy families to resist the rebels and suppress the civil unrest that arose in various places.
He sent a secret message and set up a trap to strangle Zhao Tong's troops. This was particularly crucial. If defeated, the Wei family would be the first-class hero.
However, at this time, people from Luoyang rushed to deliver the letter.
Mrs. Wei died of illness.
The war situation has stabilized, and Zhao Tong's defeat will only happen sooner or later. Wei Jie has laid out the situation, and there is no need to lead the troops there in person, so he is allowed to return to Luoyang first so that he can preside over the funeral of the eldest lady.
Xue Li hasn't figured out how she should look when she returns this time, and she is very anxious along the way. Despite this, he still didn't take these things to heart. Instead, he began to think about how to go to Luoyang to apologize to Yao Linghui.
Xue Li was a little uneasy at first. After all, she was Wei Jie's biological mother. Now she passed away suddenly, and the mother and son never saw each other for the last time. He should feel sad in his heart. Who knew what Wei Jie would do if he was in a bad mood, but she waited uneasily for several days. Ever since he mentioned it once after reading the family letter, he seemed to have forgotten about the death of the eldest lady due to illness, and there was no trace of it on his face. Strange.
Xue Li remembered that Liang Yan had mentioned Wei Jie to her before. Now that she saw it with her own eyes, she knew that his words were not adulterated. Wei Jie has an almost cruel indifference towards life and death. Even the death of a blood relative cannot shake his emotions.
Life is destiny, and death is destiny. To him, meaningless sadness is a kind of unnecessary disturbance.
Seeing that Wei Jie did not feel any regret over the death of the eldest lady, Xue Li had no intention of appeasing him. On the contrary, Xue Ke would flatter him from time to time and wanted to show concern, but he drove him away impatiently.
Due to wars and disasters, countless civilians were killed and injured. It is not an exaggeration to say that only one out of every ten households survived. At first, when he saw the bones on the road, Xue Li would be frightened and look away. Later, he became accustomed to seeing the rotting corpses.
On the way back to Luoyang, the green mountains and forests were interspersed with pink and white flowers and trees. The weather was clear and it was a beautiful scene. However, Xue Li was not in the mood to enjoy such a beautiful scenery.
The funeral of Mrs. Wei will definitely welcome countless guests. That is Liang Yan's aunt. Naturally, he will go back to Beijing to pay her respects. How will she deal with herself then? It would be okay if she was really together with Zhao Ying, but now that she is controlled by Wei Jie, wouldn't it be like a slap in the face? In Liang Yan's eyes, it could be that she and Wei Jie had an affair. There are also Wei Yun and A Niang. How should she tell them what she had experienced along the way?
Wei Jie's surroundings were not peaceful either, and he encountered assassins both times he went out with him.
"I forgot to ask, who wanted my cousin's life in the first place?"
"The assassin was from Wei Chi," Wei Jie added, "It's not just him, there should be someone else in the clan who was adding fuel to the flames, deliberately Tempt him to take action."
"Wei Chi wants to kill you?" Xue Li couldn't help but be shocked. She thought that Wei Ling and Wei Chi's affair was already a huge scandal in the Wei family, but now there is a serious matter of fratricide. The Wei family It's really not as upright and elegant as it appears.
Thinking of this, Zhao Tong's words came to her mind. Not many aristocratic families are clean. Even the strict ones like the Wei family do dirty things that ignore human ethics. Even Wei Yun didn't know about Wei Chi's affair with Wei Ling. How did Zhao Tongtong's intermediary know about it? And her mother-in-law didn't seem to like seeing Wei Heng. Even for a man like Wei Jie who was impeccable in the eyes of the world, she actually didn't allow her to have too much contact with Wei Jie.
Is the Wei family really so miserable?
Xue Li thought for a moment and asked, "Where is Wei Chi now?"
"He was going to be sentenced according to family law, but his uncle and Wei Li took the punishment on his behalf and sent him to Zhuangzi in the countryside for house arrest."
"Then... then Wei Chi Where is Ling?"
Wei Jie said calmly: "My aunt was suffering from madness. She slipped and fell into the pond and died."
Wei Jie's tone was too plain, but Xue Li felt a chill in his heart. He heard the roar he heard in Yuhengju a long time ago. It seems to be still in my ears. The desperate and angry Wei Ling, the cruel and violent Wei Heng, and the calm to indifferent Wei Jie from beginning to end. From that day on, this Wei family, with its upright family tradition and well-educated family, has been broken into pieces.

Chapter 73
The funeral of the eldest lady was about to take place. Xue Li and Wei Jie hurried back to Luoyang. The carriage was bumpy on the road and she had no intention of enjoying the scenery.
With Wei Heng being such a ruthless person, she didn't know if Wei Jie could still protect her after returning to the Wei Mansion. What's more, the news about the goddess is now spreading, and many people speculate that this goddess is her who lives in the Wei Mansion.
She and Liang Yan were about to get married but suddenly disappeared. Wei Jie would definitely frame this incident on Zhao Tong and let him bear the blame, and he would suddenly become the benefactor who saved her from the fire and water. It is not an exaggeration for Oriole to renew their relationship with him.
The whole country of Qi was in chaos, but Luoyang was still prosperous. It's like a picture scroll being torn apart. Some paintings show blooming flowers, while others depict purgatory on earth.
As soon as Wei Jie returned to Luoyang, the guard at the city gate immediately rode his horse to notify Wei Mansion, and soon someone greeted him in front of the mansion gate.
Plain white silk and satin has been hung in front of the house, and the servants have also changed into plain clothes and white robes.
Wei Heng was burdened with important responsibilities and could not immediately return to Luoyang, so Wei Jie was the first to return home. The servants in the mansion watched Xue Li leaning out of the carriage, and they all fell silent. No one dared to say anything.
Except for the second room, people from all branches of the Wei family gathered together, and they all had different expressions after seeing Xue Li.
After Wei Jie got off the carriage, he stretched out his arm to help her very naturally. Seeing this, the onlookers present looked at each other in shock.
"Mother Oriole?" Yao Linghui also put on plain clothes and saw Xue Li from a distance. She pushed away the hand of the silver lamp and ran over. Xue Li shouted excitedly while running: "Mother Li!"
Xue Li knew that his mother had the arrogance and self-confidence of a noble girl, so she still refused to lose her composure even in difficult situations, but now she ran towards her crying and shouting in front of everyone. , even if he almost fell down.
Xue Li had never been separated from his mother for such a long time. His heart softened and he broke away from Wei Jie's hand and took two steps forward to greet her.
Yao Linghui grabbed Xue Li's hand, and before she started to say anything, she was already crying so hard that she couldn't say a complete sentence intermittently. She just patted the back of her hand, touched her cheek, and sobbed. : "I've lost weight... I don't know, I don't know how much hardship I have endured. My mother Li... How could
she have encountered such a disaster..." Well, it's a good thing that the person is back."
"Mother, I'm worried."
Yao Linghui took Xue Li's hand, and after crying with joy, she glanced at Wei Jie secretly from the corner of her eye, and when she looked at Xue Li again, she seemed to have a lot to say. Want to ask her.
Wei Jie noticed her gaze, nodded slightly, and said respectfully: "Mrs. Yao, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are doing well these days."
Yao Linghui said hurriedly: "Everything is fine with me. Thank you Lan Zhang for your kindness to Li Niang during this time." Take care of me."
"It's my duty, madam. You don't have to say thank you."
After hearing this sentence "It's my duty," Yao Linghui and many others' expressions changed again.
"It's been a tiring journey, so Lang Jun and Madam Xue should go and rest first."
Xue Li nodded and walked into the Wei Mansion with Wei Jie, and then went to the mourning hall to offer three sticks of incense to the eldest lady. It was not easy for an outsider to participate in the family affairs of the Wei family, not to mention that she was really tired along the way. She told Wei Jie that she was going back to Taoqi Courtyard to rest. On the way, Yin Deng and Yao Linghui were crying and walked to the courtyard gate. He stopped crying before.
She knew that Yao Linghui had many things to ask, but she was really exhausted now, so she didn't think much about it. After comforting her, she lay down to rest. When she woke up again, it was getting dark, and there was a figure standing beside the bed. She didn't know how long she had been waiting in her room.
Xue Li's voice after waking up was lazy and slightly hoarse, sounding a bit weak and weak, which made it even more attractive.
"Sister is here, why don't you wake me up?"
Wei Yun looked at her lying there for a long time, always feeling like she was dreaming. She actually came back now, and she went back to the house with Wei Jie. Now everyone in the Wei family is talking about Wei Jie's affection for her.
Seeing Xue Li and Wei Jie come back together, she did feel irritated. However, this dissatisfaction was suppressed by the joy that Xue Li was safe and sound.
Wei Yun had many things to ask her, but when the words came to his lips, he just said: "It's good to be safe... During your absence, many things happened in the house."
Xue Li sighed: "These things I have also heard that sister, you must relax. Everyone has his own destiny. You cannot criticize those who have gone by, but you can still pursue those who have come. Things will always get better in the future..."
Wei Yun was silent, and then said: "Father, for I have decided to get married this autumn, and I am the eldest son of the Zhou family's second wife."
Xue Li said with a smile: "It would be great for my sister to find a husband. I will definitely watch my sister get married with my own eyes, and I will definitely be able to marry her. The person you match will definitely be a talented person."
Wei Yun turned away, his voice a bit impatient. "What's the use of a talented person? After all, he can't compare with his cousin."
After saying this, she probably understood that this was really weird, so she asked again: "What happened to the Wu girl in the prophecy? Now it is said that Wu Nu has something to do with you. His Majesty summoned my cousin to the palace to report on his duties.
He will inevitably ask about this matter." "It's just some witches' lies to confuse the public. It cannot be taken seriously. I only seek peace. How could these things happen? What does it have to do with me?"
Wei Yun glanced at her and said calmly: "How can you be a goddess? I think you are clearly a disaster, and you are the best at deceiving people. My cousin and Liang Yan turned against each other because of you, and even the king of Junshan didn't say anything. I will try my best to take you away."
Xue Li's smile froze for a moment, and then she heard her say: "The elders and uncles in the clan will not allow you to be with your cousin."
Wei Yun's tone became serious. , and said: "Ms. Li, you'd better think clearly. Cut off the relationship with your cousin now to avoid getting yourself into deeper trouble in the future."
Xue Li couldn't help but curse in his heart. She didn't want to let it go, but it was clear that she had no choice. Wei Jie is a madman and has thousands of ways to deal with her. He would rather kill her than let her go.
"Thank you sister, Ms. Oriole knows this well."
Seeing her attitude, Wei Yun sat angrily for a while. The second lady sent someone to urge her, so she had to get up and leave reluctantly.
After she left, Yao Linghui rushed into the house angrily and said angrily: "When did this bastard Xue Ke come to Luoyang? How come you didn't know me?"
Xue Li then remembered his father's existence and said bluntly. He said, "Dad is now a wealthy businessman. He wanted something from the Wei family, so he approached me and wanted me to deal with him."
"Advocate?" Yao Linghui sneered sarcastically. "Now I think of our mother and daughter. Why don't we look for his despicable wife? She gave birth to so many children for him, but none of them are of use? They are really despicable common people, and they can't stand up to anything. "
After saying that, she turned to look at Xue Li again, sat by the couch, and asked her in a low voice: "Let me ask you, have you been bullied in any way while living outside?"
Xue Li knew what Yao Linghui meant, although it doesn't matter to me. Chaste, but attaches great importance to reputation. Xue Li and Liang Yan disappeared for no apparent reason before they got married. They had been missing for nearly half a year without any explanation. If anyone told about it, they would inevitably be discussed.
Xue Li thought of Yao Linghui's dislike for Dafang, and did not dare to tell Wei Jie that he had taken possession of her body.
"Mom, I've thought too much. My daughter is fine."
Yao Linghui breathed a sigh of relief and added: "Also, since you are safe now, stay away from the eldest son of the Wei family in the future, and don't get along with Wei Lanzhang again. You see, his father is not as amiable as he appears to be. If you want to climb the high branches of the Wei family, you may lose your skin even if you don't die. With your current reputation, you don't have to worry about finding a good husband..."
Xue Li frowned when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask: "Why do you hate Wei Jie alone? Now that the eldest lady is dead, why don't you tell me if you have anything?"
Yao Linghui seemed to be moved by Xue Li's words. After hesitating for a moment, she said in a low voice with disgust on her face: "Do you still remember what I said to you? That eldest lady clearly seems to be driving people crazy. I'm a nutshell I visited Wei Mansion in 1999 and saw Wei Heng having sex with a woman behind a rock. They talked intimately and kept calling her "little sister". He also said that he didn't want to be her brother and only wanted to marry her. "Husband and wife," the brother and sister did such a heinous and unethical thing. They clearly abandoned etiquette, law, and human ethics, and lost the face of the famous family. If they say it, they will be ridiculed by the world's scholars..."
Xue Li's eyes widened upon hearing this. Eyes wide open, she said blankly: "Did you really hear it right?"
Yao Linghui had kept this matter in her heart for many years, and now she finally couldn't help but say it. Instead, she felt an indescribable feeling of joy in her heart, so she didn't think about it. Concealing it, he continued: "Of course not. Although I was scared and hurried away when I heard it, I remember the voice clearly. Who else could be called little sister by Wei Heng besides Wei Ling? Wei Ling is mourning The wife lived in the mansion. It was clear that everything was fine before. She became seriously ill for no reason and was sent to the Qing Dynasty. Now she fell into the water and died. Wei Heng must have been afraid that the scandal would be exposed, so he cruelly got rid of her... Such hypocrisy and cruelty How good can the son you raise be? What’s more, if Wei Heng wants to kill you one day, who can protect you?"
Yao Linghui said sincerely: "I am thinking about you, don’t overestimate your own capabilities. Wei's moral character is upright and elegant, but she just said something nice, and there's no telling how many dirty things were involved in it..."
Yao Linghui said a lot of words, and it wasn't until Xue Li lay down again that she sighed and left the door. .
The Wei Mansion, which used to be filled with solemn silence, now feels even more depressing with dark clouds.
Xue Li couldn't help but recall what Yao Linghui said in her mind. She still couldn't close her eyes. A tiny thought emerged in her heart, like a spark falling on the wasteland, instantly turning into a prairie fire.
Brother and sister incest...just thinking of these four words made her heart sink again.
Xue Li has been to Pingyuan Hou Mansion, and there are floor lanterns almost every few steps on the road in the mansion. When she asked about it, Liang Yan told her that it was because his mother, Mrs. Pingyuan Hou, had bird's eye syndrome and couldn't see clearly at night. Pingyuan Hou ordered people to build nearly a hundred floor lamps in the mansion to illuminate her.
She thought it was a coincidence. After all, it was not an accident that someone from the same clan fell into Wei Jie's body, but now that she heard what A Niang said, she couldn't help but think about it.
Is that person really Wei Ling?
A Niang didn't seem to hear her speak...
She remembered that Mrs. Pingyuan Hou was a mute girl.
The eldest lady hated Wei Jie very much when she was alive. She always said that he was not her son. Everyone thought she was crazy. Is this really true?
The more Xue Li thought about it, the more she felt cold all over. At that moment, someone knocked on the window twice. She was so frightened that she trembled and stared at the window for a long time without getting up.
Then they saw that the window was pushed open, and the moonlight leaked in, like silver frost on the ground. Wei Jie stood in the cold light, frowning and looking at her with slight dissatisfaction. "Since you are awake, why are you ignoring me?"

Chapter 74
Yao Linghui's words made Xue Li feel confused. She didn't know if she was just thinking, but it was just a coincidence. However, once this idea came up, it was difficult to suppress it, so when she saw Wei Jie again, she would inevitably be a little overwhelmed.
He stood under the moon, his plain clothes as white as frost covered with a layer of faint moonlight, which made his appearance even more stunning and divine. Whether it is family background or talent, learning and character, he is outstanding in the eyes of others, and it seems that he can't find anything wrong.
If such a person is the child of an adulterous brother and sister, he will definitely be trapped in the quagmire for life, always carrying the sinful bloodline, being cast aside and looked down upon by others. What's more, he is in the Wei family, a famous family that has always been famous for its strict family tradition and preaches abstinence and good health. If such a big scandal happened, wouldn't it mean that he would be ridiculed by the world?
Xue Li knew that she was just thinking wildly. After all, there was no certainty about such a thing. It was just based on her own guess. What's more, Wei Jie's life experience had something to do with her. How could she control such a thing? If I go out, I'm afraid that people will think that I'm crazy, and I'm afraid that I'll end up worse than Wei Ling.
She slowly stood up and approached him, and whispered: "Why did my cousin come to see me secretly at night? If I didn't know, I thought he was a gentleman from Liang Shang..."
After finishing speaking, Xue Li leaned out and glanced around, asking : "Where's Yin Deng? Why isn't she there?"
"I pushed her away."
Thinking of Yin Deng's admiration for Wei Jie, Xue Li snorted coldly and said angrily: "What a slave who betrays his master, he can do it with just a few words." She was sent away..."
Xue Li's bedroom was divided into an inner room and an outer room. Because she disappeared once, Yao Linghui was always uneasy and had to sleep not far from her at night to feel at ease, so she set up a bed to sleep. In the outer room, if Xue Li calls at night, she can hear it. Wei Jie couldn't help but go in to see her, so he had no choice but to meet her through the window.
In the past, he really didn't bother to do this kind of thing.
There was no light in Xue Li's room, so Wei Jie couldn't see what was strange about her expression.
"It's late at night. Why does my cousin have to come to see me now?"
"I just want to see you." Wei Jie paused and seemed to find his answer really funny. He pursed his lips helplessly and said : "You and I have always slept together during this period."
Wei Jie said implicitly, but Xue Li immediately understood what he meant.
Before returning to Luoyang, Wei Jie would stay by her side almost every step of the way as long as he had nothing to do. If he couldn't find her for a moment, he would get upset and he would torture her severely at night. Xue Li didn't want to deliberately make Wei Jie unhappy, and most of the time he followed his wishes. However, now that they have returned to Luoyang, the two of them have to restrain themselves a bit. Xue Li is naturally very adaptable, but Wei Jie is not used to it anymore. , it was hard to sleep peacefully without her.
Xue Li smiled and said: "In that case, my cousin has seen it too, so it's better to go back and rest early. If you don't get a good night's sleep today and wait until tomorrow to watch the eldest lady's funeral, it will be your cousin who suffers. "
She actually admired her a bit. Even after returning to the Wei Mansion and seeing the eldest lady's mourning hall, Wei Jie's attitude still didn't change much. It seems that for him, practicing filial piety is just to abide by etiquette and not to truly respect and love his parents. It's like he follows the rules, but he just feels that it should be done so that he can avoid more troubles. Facing the death of his biological mother, he was too cold-blooded.
Wei Jie really just wanted to see Xue Li, but now that he had seen him, he didn't want to leave immediately.
After her mother passed away, many people gathered in the mansion, and people from the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion should also arrive tomorrow.
He clearly had Xue Li firmly under his control and could not give her another chance to escape, but even so, when he thought of Liang Yan, he still felt that he was not stable enough. Perhaps Xue Li has never forgotten Liang Yan. If she had a choice, she would still choose to marry Liang Yan without hesitation.
Just thinking about this in his mind made him feel like poisonous fire was boiling in his chest.
For the first time, Wei Jie felt an emotion called resentment. He blamed Xue Li for being so snobbish, yet she was willing to show her true love to Liang Yan, and he blamed her for teasing him with false affection, but for being indifferent to his affection. The most resentful thing is that he chose to fall in love with such a person, and he fell deeper and deeper into it, becoming unable to control himself.
"Mother Oriole." He called her, holding his hand on the window lattice and lowering his head slightly.
Xue Li understood immediately and stepped forward to kiss him.
After the kiss, Xue Li whispered: "My cousin went back earlier, and Aniang is still guarding outside. It would be bad if she knew about it."
After she finished speaking, she pushed Wei Jie out, but he was Holding her wrist, she accepted his slightly fierce kiss again.
Only then did Xue Li realize that Wei Jie was in a bad mood, and even the kiss seemed to be irritable and uneasy. She patted Wei Jie on the shoulder and whispered: "The deceased is gone, cousin, don't be sad."
Wei Jie's He moved away from the kiss slightly, resting his forehead on her shoulder, his warm breath caressing her neck, and his voice was slightly hoarse.
"Mother Oriole", Wei Jie, who had never tolerated her rejection, actually had an uneasy feeling in his tone. "Are you willing to marry me?"
Xue Li is a person who is very good at making false promises, so agreeing to Wei Jie is just a temporary measure, and there is no need to hesitate too much. However, at this moment, she was dumbfounded for some reason.
Wei Jie didn't give her too much time to relax. Without waiting for her answer, he just chuckled, but his voice was much colder.
"It doesn't matter. Whether you want it or not, you can only belong to me." When
Xue Li heard this, he lost his thoughts on dealing with him and said impatiently: "I'm a little tired, cousin, I'd better go back and rest." ."
Wei Jie did not refuse again this time. After he left, Xue Li recalled his words carefully.
Marry Wei Jie?
In the past, she naturally couldn't ask for it, but now that she has seen through his face, how can she feel at ease? His temperament would not guarantee that he would do even more horrific things in the future, not to mention that she didn't know whether Wei Jie was the son of a brother and sister who had committed adultery. With such a bloodline, it was really... At
dawn the next day, the ritual ceremony had already begun in the mansion.
The nobles who came to the Wei Mansion to worship were like crucian carp crossing the river, and few of them came sincerely for the eldest lady.
Xue Li was wearing plain clothes, with no extra hairpins on her black hair, making her look even more cold and gentle. Not only the men, but also the girls passing by could not help but look at her.
In the early morning, Wei Li also followed Wei Heng back to his house. Xue Li huddled and hid behind Yao Linghui, not wanting to be seen by Wei Heng. It was also at this time that she suddenly remembered Liang Yan's existence, and then she raised her head and looked for him frequently. Sure enough, she found his figure among the men. It happened that Liang Yan also saw her, and both of them were stunned. After a while, there was not much joy on each other's faces, but helpless sadness.
Xue Li looked away, sighed secretly, and stopped looking at him.
Not long after, there was a noise at the entrance to the vestibule. Xue Li followed everyone's gaze and looked there, only to realize that the person entering the door was Wei Chi.
He hadn't seen Wei Chi for a long time, and Xue Li didn't want to see him again. He became lame and had to use a wooden stick when walking around.
Wei Heng's expression turned cold, and he frowned and looked at Wei Zhi who was not far away.
Wei Zhi quickly scolded: "Who allowed him to come here, take him back!"
Wei Li quickly stood up, wondering: "My mother has not seen Achi for a long time, and she is already worried. Not to mention when Achi was young. After being taken care of by my aunt, I also asked my uncle to spare some time and let him burn incense sticks for my aunt before leaving."
Before Wei Heng could speak, Wei Chi suddenly raised his voice with a rather sinister expression and an extremely sharp voice: "Why can't I Come on, I am the legitimate son of the Wei family. Why don't I dare to see people? Even if I want to leave, it's not my time to leave."
When he said this, his eyes were burning and he looked straight at Wei Jie.
Xue Li's heart twitched suddenly, and then he looked at Wei Jie's expression. He was still standing calmly on the steps, looking at Wei Chi coldly, not disturbed by his words.
"What do you mean by this?"
Wei Zhi was about to order someone to take Wei Chi down. A servant girl next to Wei Chi suddenly knelt down and hit her forehead on the bluestone brick with a muffled sound. Everyone present froze in place and looked at her. .
"Please make the decision for the eldest madam!"
When she raised her head again, there were blood marks on her forehead.
Seeing this scene, Xue Li's mind was buzzing. She quickly looked at Wei Jie, but he only frowned, as if he didn't understand what it meant. Looking at Liang Yan again, he stared at the servant woman in shock and confusion, obviously also unaware of everything.
"I am the maidservant of the eldest lady. I want to report the adultery between Wei Heng, the head of the Wei family, and Wei Yin, the wife of Marquis Pingyuan, and together they will drive my master crazy..." Before she could
finish her words, Liang Yan stood up unbearably and said angrily: "How dare this old witch talk nonsense and slander my mother!"

Chapter 75
In addition to the descendants of various branches of the Wei family, there were also many great scholars and people from prominent families who came to worship. Suddenly such a scandal occurred, and all the guests were talking about it, and all of them were so shocked that their expressions changed drastically.
Liang Yan has a good temper, but he is not a temperless person. Although his biological mother was a mute girl and died of illness early, his mother was extremely protective of him and would not let others say anything bad about her. Now he heard people say in public that his mother had a dirty relationship with his respected uncle. He stepped forward, so angry that he looked like he was going to tear Wei Chi apart.
The people around him stopped him and quickly calmed down his anger.
Wei Heng's face was gloomy, but there was no sign of panic. He said solemnly: "I'm afraid he's gone crazy. Just tie him up and take him away."
Wei Chi and Wei Ling were so close that it was inevitable that they would know something about the inside story. Now that Wei Ling is dead, he has clearly asked people to guard Wei Chi. When the time is right, he will just let him die quietly. Now that he can return to the house, someone must be secretly helping him. Thinking of this, even Wei Hengqiang's calm face couldn't help but reveal a crack. His fingers under the wide sleeves of his robe were clenched tightly, and his whole body was like a taut bowstring.
Just as the guards rushed forward to tie up Wei Chi and the servant girl, Lieutenant Xiahou opened his mouth and said, "Why should the Duke be angry? Since this matter is false, how can one allow people to slander the County in front of his wife's mourning hall?" Regarding the reputation of the Duke and Lan Zhang, where did a servant have the courage to talk nonsense? There must be someone behind the scenes. With such a vicious heart, the Duke might as well ask carefully and find out the person behind it, so as to avoid public discussion and mislead Wei. The reputation of the family."
"That's nonsense, why ask again!" Liang Yan couldn't hold it back and said angrily: "I am the same age as Wei Lanzhang. If he is born to my mother, who am I? You want to say that my origin is unknown, not a marquis. Can we get out of the mansion?" When
Wei Heng heard this, his eyes changed, his tone became much gloomier, and he said coldly: "Don't do it yet!"
However, before the waiter could get closer, the servant girl suddenly stepped out of her sleeves. He pulled out the dagger and looked at Wei Heng with vicious eyes, his hoarse voice was like the desperate cry of an old snipe.
"Wei Heng, you dressed beast! My wife and husband have been misled by you in this life!" After saying this, she suddenly kowtowed in the direction of Liang Yan. "The sky has eyes, and I will never say anything false. I am willing to die to make my will clear!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the dagger in her hand had already cut through her neck without hesitation, and the hot blood spurted out, splashing a scarlet flower on the bluestone brick. flowers come.
Some people screamed and looked away without daring to look, while others looked at Wei's expressions out of curiosity.
The Taiwei spoke at the right time and pointedly said: "This old woman talked about the young man, why did she want to worship Liang Le'an?"
This sentence was like a bowl of water poured into a frying pan. Just now, she was shocked and speechless by the scene in front of her. The dignitaries and celebrities immediately came to their senses, their expressions became meaningful, and there were many rustling comments.
Xue Li was pulled back by Yao Linghui. Yao Linghui leaned against her ear and her voice changed in surprise: "What does this mean? Could it be that she meant that Liang Yan was born by the eldest lady..." "
It wasn't just Yao Linghui who was whispering. Wei Jie naturally heard what they said. He just glanced at Wei Heng's expression and understood in his heart that all this was not fabricated out of thin air.
Wei Jie subconsciously looked at Xue Li, but at this moment she was extremely nervous with her heart hanging in her stomach, but her eyes were pointed in the direction of Liang Yan.
Liang Yan heard everyone's discussion. Those malicious, joking or probing eyes fell on him, like thorns piercing people. He couldn't help but speak angrily when the guards pushed Wei Chi to the ground: "Uncle, please listen to him." Having said that, it concerns the reputation of the Marquis Mansion and the Wei family, and I want to hear what nonsense he wants to talk about. Today's matter is over, and we cannot allow anyone to smear our innocence."
Wei Yun knew that Wei Chi would die if this matter came out. Undoubtedly, he wanted to step forward to take Wei Chi back and intercede for him, but as soon as he took a step, he was pulled back by Wei Li.
Wei Li shook his head, glanced at Wei Jie who looked calm, and said slowly: "You don't need to get involved in this matter. My uncle has been a good man all his life, so why should you be afraid of Achi's crazy words?"
Wei Yun said angrily: "You heard what he said. What are you talking about? Why did Achi become like this? He must have been bewitched by others and used as a knife to slander his cousin!" The
spectators in the court did not want to expose it easily, and they all agreed and asked Wei Chi to finish what he said. The elders of the Wei clan lost face and scolded Wei Chi and Wei Zhi.
"Wei Zhi, you raised a good son!"
Wei Zhi was panicked and angry. He just wished he could step forward and beat Wei Chi to death for causing him to get involved in so many troubles.
The second lady saw that Wei Chi was blushing and was about to be covered to death. She cried and rushed forward to pull him away. He raised his head with difficulty and managed to breathe, and immediately shouted in an unclear voice: "It has nothing to do with my father! Despicable villain, unworthy of being the head of the Wei family! How can one be noble with dirty blood? Liang Yan! Wei Jiejiu occupied the magpie's nest, first robbed you of your identity, and then defrauded your fiancée. Don't you want to seek justice? ? Do you know whose mother is lying in the coffin!"
The second lady hurriedly covered his mouth, crying and begging him not to say anything more.
There was a mess in front of the mourning hall that should have been solemn, and the sound of worshiping in the front hall never stopped, making the scene in front of me even more absurd.
Gradually, some people noticed Xue Li.
Yao Linghui also reacted to Wei Chi's words. At this moment, she had forgotten all about trying to please the Wei family. She was only left with mother's shock and anger, which made her ask regardless: "What do you mean by this, Li?" Is it possible that there is another secret behind my mother's disappearance?"
Xue Li was so frightened that he hurriedly pulled Yao Linghui away, but it was no longer helpful. More people looked at Xue Li, forcing her to be involved.
"Everyone knows Lan Zhang's character, how could he do such a despicable thing..."
"You are talking nonsense, you are really crazy."
"Let the woman decide whether it is true or false."
Xue Li was right in his heart. In such a mess, he never expected that he would be the target of public criticism. He looked at Wei Jie in a panic, but Liang Yan also looked directly at her, wanting to hear her tell the truth.
He already knew the inside story, and it was not that he was unaware of the news that Xue Li and Wei Jie had returned to Luoyang together. He just hated himself for being weak and allowing her to fall into Wei Jie's clutches again. At this moment, Wei Jie was caught in criticism. He didn't believe these nonsense. However, as long as she was willing to admit that she was imprisoned and humiliated by him, she would be able to get rid of Wei Jie and destroy his hypocritical noble attitude.
Xue Li met Wei Jie's eyes and realized that he was also looking at her. His eyes seemed to be comforting, even a little helpless, as if Xue Li's answer was no longer important.
She just needed to nod, just accuse Wei Jie of everything he had done, and maybe she and Liang Yan could get back together. The world will pity her for her pitiful life, and guess that she has been humiliated by others, and no one will blame her...
"What are you afraid of? Tell me, he humiliated you so much and separated you and Liang Yan, why should you be afraid of him!"
Yao ! Linghui was also questioning her. Not far away, Liang Yan's eyes were red, and he looked at her with a look that seemed to be forcing but also pleading.
Xue Li could not help but speak, but suddenly thought of the poison Wei Jie fed her, and she suddenly came back to reality. Even if Wei Jie is in trouble, there are still countless ways to take her to death together. How dare she betray him now.
Xue Li took a step back and huddled behind Yao Linghui, with tears in the corners of his eyes, and said in a panic: "My cousin saved me from fire and water regardless of past suspicions. How dare I slander his innocence? Please speak carefully, don't trap me in injustice..." ..."
Wei Chi's eyes widened, and he was so furious that he wanted to jump up, but was suppressed by someone.
Liang Yan froze on the spot for a moment. Xue Li almost didn't dare to look at Liang Yan's expression. She could only lower her head and pretend to sob, secretly thinking about what would happen next. If Wei Jie cannot straighten herself out, she will surely fall into a state of eternal damnation. She must detoxify him first so that she can distance herself from him.
Wei Heng almost wanted to kill Wei Chi immediately, but the people present pressed forward step by step. The elders of the Wei clan even wanted him to prove his innocence in public. Killing someone to silence him would be a guilty conscience, and allowing him to continue talking would lead to more people. trouble. Wei Chi is just a knife for others, being manipulated to reveal his secrets. Apart from him, there will be others. He can no longer escape this situation. He cannot hide it and can only defend himself.
The second lady was so angry that she slapped Wei Chi twice on the face, so hard that her palms were numb. There was also some bright red blood oozing from the corners of Wei Chi's mouth, but he still stubbornly said: "Wei Jie is a bird's eye." ! He is exactly the same as Mrs. Hou!"
Wei Li said: "Brother has been with us for many years, and there has never been any difference. Where did the bird's eyes come from?"
"Whether it is a fake, you will know after you try it after nightfall!" Wei Chi seemed to Thinking of something, he continued: "It was Mrs. Hou who seduced my uncle and forced him to exchange Liang Yan and Wei Jie!"
"Shut up!" Wei Heng, who had been silent for a long time, finally interrupted him at this moment.
I don't know who said, "It's possible. I knew earlier that the Duke was very protective of Madam Hou. Maybe he was deceived because of his eagerness to protect his sister..."
However, someone had already recalled the situation many years ago. Not long after Mrs. Hou gave birth to Liang Yan, Marquis Pingyuan was ordered to go into battle to kill the enemy. Later, due to the partisanship between various factions in the court, the Liang family was accused of rebellion. The life and death of Marquis Pingyuan was uncertain, and the entire Marquis Mansion was in danger of being destroyed at any time. disaster.
If Mrs. Hou wants to let her son occupy the magpie's nest for this reason, it is not impossible.
The discussion reached Liang Yan's ears. His face was pale, his fingers were clenched into fists, and his nails dug deeply into his palms.
"Uncle... just uncle." Liang Yan's eyes were red, and he turned to look at Wei Heng, with a faint glimmer of water in his eyes. "Yes or no?"
Wei Heng's body trembled violently, and overwhelming guilt surged into his heart, but he still had to pretend to be calm on his face.
After thinking for a moment, he finally turned his head and looked at Wei Jie. Without saying anything, he just sighed lightly and Wei Jie understood what he meant.
Wei Jie, who had been talked about for a long time, finally took a step forward. With a cold expression and a slight frown, he bowed respectfully to the guests. "Thank you all for coming to worship my mother today. Such a scandal happened. The right and wrong have not yet been determined. It is not good to disturb my mother's rest. When our clan finds out the truth, it will be made public. Please go back."
He ignored it. His sarcastic words, his upright posture as solemn as a pine tree.
"Send off guests."
After today, more than a hundred people from the Wei Manchu clan will not let Wei Jie go.
Wei Heng's guilt can be tolerated. He can put the blame on Madam Hou or any of his slaves to minimize his own guilt. Only Wei Jie, if what Wei Chi said is true, even if his identity is hidden from the world, he cannot suppress the contempt of his tribe. He abides by the family motto of the Wei family, cultivates his moral integrity, and becomes a piece of beauty that the Wei family shows to the world. However, once he has this dirty bloodline, he is destined to be shamed by the Wei family, and his existence will turn from glory to shame.
He always didn't like to get himself into situations that he couldn't control, and at this moment, before he could figure it out, he already understood from Wei Heng's eyes that Wei Chi's words were not random fabrication.
Everything is false. He used to follow the rules and abide by the legislation everywhere, but he never thought that he was the result of violating etiquette and law.
It's really ridiculous.
After the guests left the house, Liang Yan stood there like a frozen stone statue, and no one asked him to leave.
At this moment, Wei Jie is going to the ancestral hall for training. Although the evidence is insufficient, it is enough to put him in jail.
Xue Li failed to speak to Liang Yan, so he was forcefully dragged back to the courtyard by Yao Linghui. However, he was stopped by Wei Yun on the way, so he had to urge Yao Linghui to go back first. Wei Yun's face was gloomy. After glaring at her without saying a word, a trace of frost-white clothes was revealed behind the rocks.
Wei Yun left with a cold face, leaving the two of them alone.
Wei Jie smiled peacefully as if nothing had happened. "Why didn't Ms. Li stop talking?"
"Don't be afraid, cousin, Wei Chi is talking nonsense, no one will believe him..." "
If what he said is true, what should you do?"
Xue Li kindly left him a message. Who would have thought that he would disdain to have this face? She forced a smile and wanted to appease Wei Jie, but Wei Jie saw through the panic in her eyes.
"Ms. Li, do you want to have nothing to do with me?"
Wei Jie stroked the top of her hair, leaned forward slightly, and his cold fingertips fell on her cheek. There was a hint of madness in his eyes. , his tone was clear and cold, word by word, he whispered: "Don't even think about it."
