Chapter Eighty-One: Superiority and Dependence
Aunt Mei saw that Wei Yining was silent, so she further persuaded: "Fifth Miss, that Bao family is your enemy, but I have no grudge against you, you can't help her to harm me." You can't be confused, Bao is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp, even if you help her, there is no guarantee that she will not bite you back in the future. ”
Wei Yining saw that she was no longer calm, and didn't want to say anything to her anymore, so she turned around and wanted to leave.
Aunt Mei stopped her again and pleaded, "Fifth girl, can you cooperate with that person?" As long as you are willing to help, she will definitely not treat you badly. As long as you form an alliance with her and help her when appropriate, this can be regarded as revenge for yourself. You don't have to suffer, otherwise you don't know when you will be able to bring down Bao. ”
Wei Yining didn't look back this time and walked straight out of the cell.
Aunt Mei's so-called "cooperation", she is not interested at all.
Aunt Mei watched Wei Yining's figure disappear at the end of the cell, and she suddenly felt powerless.
Just like Wei Yining said, she is in danger, but doesn't she say that "wealth is in danger"?
She only hopes that the person she is working with can defeat the Bao family, so that even if she eats a knife, it will be worth it.
Back at the Zhiyong Mansion, Wei Yining went to see the Bao family first.
Bao Shi saw her and hurriedly asked, "Yining, have you seen your brother?" Did he suffer in it? ”
Wei Yining's eyelashes drooped, and Bao said that Wei Changan was her brother, but in her heart, there was only one brother, and that was Wei Fuan.
It's a pity that there is no one in this world who can make her call her brother sincerely.
But she has always had such a calm and soft face, and Bao Shi did not notice any difference between her and the past.
"Brother Chang'an is fine, but he is homesick, so he asked me to tell my wife to help him out quickly." Wei Yining stood beside Bao's bed and said with low eyebrows.
Wei Changan repeated this in prison, he was frightened, and kept saying that he wanted to go home.
When Bao heard this, he burst into tears in distress: "My poor child, how have I ever suffered such a crime since I was a child. Yining, you've worked hard. Let's go back and rest first! ”
It just so happened that Bao Shi should also take the medicine, so Wei Yining retreated.
She didn't go back to her residence to rest, because she was still thinking about Mrs. Zhu.
The old lady has her daughter by her side to take care of her, and the symptoms are milder than a few days ago, but it will take time to recuperate.
Seeing Wei Yining, the old lady sighed, she remembered Wei Zongzhao again, and it had only been quiet for a few years, and there was such a big turmoil.
Mrs. Zhu lost her mother since she was a child, and after marrying into the Wei family, she lost her young son, and later her stepson Wei Zongzhao also had an accident, and her daughter was not in front of her, which made her bitter and happy.
Now it's easy to bring back my daughter's family, but there is something about Wei Yiwan and Wei Changan, which is really not worrying.
Wei Yining accompanied Mrs. Zhu to relieve her boredom and say some interesting things, so that the old lady could rest assured for the time being.
Within a few days, the matter of the Wei family had spread throughout the capital. Although Bao was sick in bed, he did not dare to neglect the affairs of his children.
She told someone to let the wind go and blame Aunt Mei for her daughter's death and her son's imprisonment.
spared no effort to portray Aunt Mei as a heinous femme fatale, saying that Wei Yiwan's death was because Aunt Mei was jealous that she had been loved by the Shao family, thus cutting off the marriage between her two twin daughters.
And Wei Chang'an has been studying hard in the Wenjing Academy these days, and he was also framed by Aunt Mei.
Even the fact that the twin daughters were kidnapped in the Grange before came out, saying that Aunt Mei also wanted to kidnap the twin sons of the Shao family, so that she could go to the Shao family, but she tied up their little girl by mistake.
These words are no more substantiated than the testimony in court, but they can lead to public opinion, make people sympathize with Bao and her children, and spurn Aunt Mei.
Wei Zongyong ran outside for several days, leaving early and returning late every day, and he couldn't care about going to the crispy place.
These days, Wei Zongyong has run into walls everywhere, not because he is really useless, but because he has encountered the portal of "support from above and from below".
It turned out that in the past few days, Chunying's family went to the yamen of Zhaoyi Mansion to beat drums and voice grievances, accusing Wei Chang'an, the eldest young master of Zhiyong's Mansion, of rape and murder.
Chunying is just a little maid, and her parents are also honest people.
The Wei family originally planned to think of a way to cover up the case, but it was expected that the Chunying family would not make any big trouble.
Who would have thought that Chunying has a younger brother who has been a eunuch in the palace since he was a child, and now he is by the side of the Queen Mother, and he has been very favored recently.
The Wei family didn't know about this, because Chunying felt that her brother's appointment as a eunuch was not honorable, and she never told anyone.
In addition, her uncle is a hob meat, known as a leper locust, as long as he is allowed to get it, the gods will have to lose a layer of skin.
For example, he relied on other children's children to eat a piece of candy, and when he turned around, he had to beg other adults to drink a pot of tea, which meant that the child's sugar had caught him.
Now that I have met the Zhiyong Mansion, it is tantamount to pasting a fat leg of lamb, and I will never let go if I don't suck enough blood.
Chunying's uncle specially asked someone to build a funeral shed, and made his fox friends into a mourning team, shouting grievances along the streets and alleys all day long, and the whole city knew it.
Wei Zongyong puffed his teeth and said: "In my opinion, if you want to settle this matter, you have to spend a lot of money, and the capital crime may not be, but you must always peel off the skin." The uncle of the spring warbler let out a word, saying that unless he compensated them a golden man of average size, he would never give up. ”
Bao Shi laughed angrily and said: "The average big gold man has at least 100,000 taels of gold, does he really think that our family's gold and silver are piled up into a mountain?!" What's more, it's not just about money, it's okay to burn and bury silver for ten taels or eight, but it's just to see her pity and reward her. If we give them a golden man, we will really be honest, which shows that we are empty-hearted. I know that my own son will never be able to do murder. ”
Wei Zongyong listened to Bao's words and felt that it made sense, he had never been a shrewd person. But he also knows that gold is still the most cost-effective in his pocket.
However, there is one thing that he and the Bao family both know very well, Wei Changan just didn't kill anyone, and the forcible / rape thing will definitely not run.
Wei Zongyong had already inquired about Wei Chang'an's case, and it was decided that it would be tried by Yan Jueyun, the current Shangshu of the Criminal Department, who was the younger brother of Yan Lingyun, the king of Zhudong.
Although he is a peer with Wei Zongyong, Yan Jueyun is the most upright, and he will never show favoritism. The Yan family has always regarded a clear name as their life, and the government and the opposition know it.
Therefore, the Bao family plans to work his role as a lawyer and try to exonerate his son as much as possible.
And he had already bought off the people in the academy and the servants in the family, telling them to speak in the same voice, only saying that those Tianwei Chang'an were in the academy and did not return to the mansion.
