Chapter 286: The jade pendant is fake
Chapter 286 Jade Pendant is a fake
Li Yan didn't tell her anything, that's why she fainted at the gate of the mansion, and from the beginning, she didn't know that Qi Niang and the others were arrested and sent to prison.
Wei Yuan's face was calm, and after looking at her for a long time, she was sure that she was not lying, and she had no need to lie.
Her hostility towards Wei Luan was not entirely due to this incident, it was a kind of enraging jealousy, which almost made her lose her mind and become unrecognizable, and even she was almost unrecognizable.
In front of him is the most familiar person, but everything has become unfamiliar, such an emotion has not been seen in more than ten years.
Wei Yuan never knew what it was like to be jealous, but it turned out that that kind of emotion could control her mood.
Wei Luan was obviously sick, and she was in a hurry to become like this, also because of an accident at home, but when everyone withdrew from the room, leaving only their sisters and the girls who served around her, Wei Yuan felt that her hands were trembling faintly, and in her mind, there was always a voice urging her to step forward and choke Wei Luan's neck.
It's a scourge, and as long as she's dead, everyone can be pureβ
Nope-
Wei Yuan's pupils dilated, and he stood up and turned over the round pier under him.
She lowered her head in disbelief and stared at her hands for a long time.
How could she ...... How can there be such an impulse?
Wei Luan didn't know what to do, but he just felt that Wei Yuan's face was ugly: "Isn't my sister uncomfortable?" I don't think your face is very good. β
"Nope." She flatly denied it, and almost at the moment when Wei Luan's words fell, she retorted back, "I just think it's quite strange, according to the saying that His Royal Highness King Qi has never hidden anything from you, but this time he didn't tell you anything, I was a little surprised when I heard it at first glance." β
Wrong.
The look on her face wasn't just pure surprise.
Wei Luanxiu's eyebrows were furrowed, and the center of her eyebrows was raised high, twisted into a small peak.
Her sister, who was taught by her eldest brother to be dignified and cautious everywhere, has never been a babbling person, and she has hardly ever lost her temper like this.
What could make her lose her temper like this?
"Sister-" Wei Luan dragged out the last note, gave Dangzhu a look, and motioned for her to help herself sit up.
And when Zhu hesitated, he got his hand, held Wei Luan's shoulder, and told her to sit up with strength.
Wei Luan then handed over a hand in the direction where Wei Yuan was standing: "Between our sisters, do you have something that can't be said?" I followed my eldest brother and Li Yan to Huzhou, but in just a few months, why did my sister seem to have changed and become so separated from me? β
Yes, raw points.
Wei Luan saw only alienation and indifference from Wei Yuan's face.
Dad is concerned about her condition, and so is her eldest brother, even Zhao Falcon, for Li Yan's sake, is sincerely worried, but what about my sister?
The kind of estrangement that emanates from the heart's eyes clearly reveals the word "life".
They are sisters of the same mother, but Wei Yuan has never really cared for her.
Since she woke up, she has been in this house, until now, Dad and Zhang have left, only she is with her in front of her hospital bed, and she still has not a word of care.
At that time, Wei Yuan opened her mouth, but all she asked was about Li Yan, and her thoughts were all on Qiyu in prison.
Wei Luan's heart sank, her hand hanging in the air, no one took it for a long time, her arm was a little sore, probably because she was sick, her eye sockets were astringent, and the tip of her nose was also sour: "Sister? β
Wei Yuan seemed to have just come back to her senses, stretched her hand forward, and seemed to take Wei Luan's hand without hesitation, but her eyes didn't really fall on her: "Why did you get separated from you?" People say that they think a lot during illness, and it's true, you are a little person, the most important thing is to take care of your illness, what do you think about? β
As she spoke, she raised the corners of her mouth, smiled under her eyes, and pinched Wei Luan's palm: "I'll go and see your medicine, and then ask them to cook you some light porridge and prepare a few delicious side dishes. β
After Wei Yuan finished speaking, he didn't give Wei Luan the slightest room to speak, let go of his hand, and turned around and walked towards the door, leaving only a clear and beautiful back for Wei Luan.
When Zhu Heng looked at Wei Luan's face was not good, he lowered his voice, timidly: "Girl......"
It happened that You Zhu entered the door from the outside, and bumped into Wei Yuan head-on at the door, she just squatted down to salute, but Wei Yuan didn't look at her, and walked straight away, she was puzzled, entered the inner room, and saw that Yuan Dun'er was still rolling aside, so she sighed, stepped forward a few steps, and helped Yuan Dun'er up and put it back in its place: "Did the girl and the big girl quarrel?" β
"Do you think I'm having a fight with my sister?" Wei Luan didn't answer the rhetorical question, and looked fixedly at the past.
You Zhu was about to pause at the recovered hand, and when he looked sideways, the two looked at each other, and the girl subconsciously frowned: "I look at the big girl's face and don't care much about me, isn't this round pier kicked over by the big girl?" β
The corners of Wei Luan's mouth rose: "You have served me since you were a child, when have you ever seen my sister get angry, throw things with her hands, or kick over some tables and chairs?" β
You Zhu's words choked in her throat for a while.
Yes, the big girl is not such a person, but the face of the big girl is ......
She swallowed: "So what's going on?" β
"Who knows." Wei Luan was weak, and leaned back on the soft pillow again, "You Zhu, you go and find Sun Xi, I'll ask him something." β
You Zhu sighed: "The girl's body is not good, Doctor Zhou instructed, don't let the girl work hard, you have to rest in bed these days, it's best not to call someone to disturb the girl's purity, or two days, wait until the body is better, and then call Sun Xi to come?" β
Wei Luan shook his head.
No one is in a greater hurry than her.
Wei Yuan has a saying that is right, everything that the Wei family suffered today was caused by her, although she also felt innocent and wronged, but in the eyes of everyone, this disaster was caused by her, if it wasn't for her taking Qin Lingxin's jade pendant, if it wasn't for her not keeping the jade pendant, everything after that would not have happened.
And now, she desperately wants to know what else has happened at home in the past few months since she left home, what is it that makes Wei Yuan treat her like this today?
Long before she left home, she also had a quarrel with Wei Kite, at that time she felt that no one understood her, she and Wei Kite's way of life was different, but it was just that.
Wei Luan thought about it, and Wei Yuan probably thought the same way at that time, at least she never showed her perfunctory and indifferent like this at that time.
Is it just for a Qiyu? She knew that Qiyu was to Wei Yuan, just like when Zhu Youzhu and Zhu were to her, it was the love of growing up together, like sisters, but it wouldn't really cross her as a sister, right?
Wei Luan's throat was itchy for a while, and he couldn't hold back and coughed several times.
You Zhu hurriedly poured a glass of water, and while feeding her to drink, he persuaded her bitterly: "Look, I didn't say a word about this, I just coughed like this, so let's not see Sun Xi first, otherwise the master will know, and we won't be able to explain." β
Wei Luan drank most of the cup, his throat moistened, and he eased his strength, but still shook his head: "Li Yan didn't tell me anything, if I don't figure out what else is going on at home, I feel uneasy, I am unstable, how can I recover well?" Go quickly, I have asked him, and I know in my heart that it will be beneficial for me to recuperate. β
You Zhu saw that she couldn't resist her, and knew that she had made up her mind and was determined, no matter how others persuaded her, she would not listen, so she sighed helplessly and shook her head, put the celadon cup in her hand back to its original place, and hurried out of the door to find Sun Xi in the house.
β¦β¦
said that Li Yan went straight to the mansion, and Guo Minan had been waiting for him at the door of the mansion for a long time.
Li Yan turned over from the carriage and saw Guo Min'an next to the stone lion at the entrance of the government from a distance.
It seems that Guo Min'an sent people to watch at the city gate, not to see him at the Qi Palace, but to calculate that he would come to the palace as soon as possible.
What Li Yan admires most is smart people, especially smart people in officialdom.
In these years, there are too many people who have no sense of proportion, and there are many people who don't know what to do and what is bad, and some people have been officials for a few years, especially those who are not low in official quality and hold real power, so they get carried away and forget their duty to be a man and do things.
Obviously, Guo Minan is not such a person.
Li Yan only stood still, stepped forward, his face was expressionless, and he glanced at Guo Min'an in a hurry: "Lord Guo has been waiting for a long time?" β
Guo Min'an bowed his hand to him to see the official salute, bowed down, finished the salute, straightened up, and went to the palace to greet him: "It's not a long time, since His Royal Highness entered the city, the official went to the door to wait." β
"You're so sure that I'll come to the government to see you?" Li Yan paused at his feet, stood on the steps and didn't move again, "What if I don't come?" β
Guo Min'an chuckled and stood still with his figure: "How can there be so many ifs in this world? Isn't Your Highness coming? β
What a talker.
Li Yan laughed twice, didn't say anything more, and went straight to the door.
Guo Minan is indeed good at doing things, and he knows what Li Yan is here for today, so he simply didn't greet him in the lobby, but directly greeted him into the back hall.
When the two of them entered the back hall one after the other, Guo Minan sent a message and instructed that no one should be disturbed, but just asked someone to bring up the tea prepared in the morning, and then sent the official who served the tea to retire.
He ordered him, Li Yan did not move like a mountain, blindly watching coldly, until he finished explaining everything, Li Yan raised his voice and called Lord Guo: "The arrangement is so comprehensive, if I don't come, I will live up to Lord Guo's preparations." β
Guo Min'an didn't answer this again, didn't sit down, stood and greeted him: "Coming back from Huzhou, let alone two months away, from the first letter received from His Royal Highness to today, it is only more than a month, His Royal Highness is in a hurry on the road, he is worried about the people and things in Qizhou, His Royal Highness has worked hard." β
"Lord Guo is hard." Li Yan waved his hand and motioned for him to sit and speak, "You are the prefect of Qizhou, in fact, the military and political power is in your hands, and it is rare that Lord Guo is willing to sell this face to me, the matter of the Wei family has been two months now, right?" He asked rhetorically, but he didn't wait for Guo Min'an to answer, and said directly, "You are working hard." β
Guo Min'an's face did not change, and he still looked gentle: "Since His Royal Highness has orders, the lower officials naturally dare not disobey, what military and political power is in the hands of the lower officials, and it is not Your Majesty who looks up to it." The power in the hands of the lower officials is the right of His Majesty, His Majesty loves His Royal Highness, how dare the lower officials go against His Royal Highness's wishes? β
He's really not a troublemaker.
In a few words, there is a sarcastic and sarcastic mind.
Li Yan is not surprised, nor is he angry, if he blindly flatters and agrees, then people will look down on him, and the four-grade prefect over the years can be regarded as a wasted effort.
That's the way it is, to have backbone, confidence, and dare to speak is a good one.
Li Yan shrugged with his hands outstretched: "Don't say that, you sent a fold to Beijing and sued me in front of the imperial brother, such an important matter, can't I eat and walk around?" A reprimand is indispensable. So, it's still Lord Guo who is willing to give me this face, and there is nothing that violates or does not violate. β
Since he didn't accept the offer and didn't choose to reprimand back, Guo Min's tone in his heart was a little smoother, and he was somewhat restrained.
His Royal Highness the King of Qi in front of him, who was still a big beam after all, said such a thing himself, he understood, and it passed.
Guo Min'an took a deep breath and spit out that breath again: "Your Highness is also back now, what does Your Highness think about this matter?" On the same day, His Royal Highness sent a letter back to Qizhou, asking the officials to suppress it for the time being, saying that there was another inside story in this matter. β
"That jade pendant is a fake." Li Yan leaned back in the chair, looked at Guo Min'an for a long time, touched his lips up and down, and threw out these seven words lightly.
Guo Min felt that the green tendons on his sideburns were bulging, and his temples were jumping suddenly.
Fake?
He was busy with the entire prefect's yamen for more than two months, and he had to suppress the news externally, prevent rumors from spreading in the city, and secretly track down the whereabouts of the jade pendant, and also investigate the so-called inner ghost of the Wei family.
Guo Minan raised his hand and pressed it on his temple: "Your Highness said that the jade pendant is fake?" β
Li Yan raised his eyebrows: "You think I'm lying to you?" β
"The lower officials don't dare, it's just that the stakes are very high, and His Royal Highness allows the lower officials to ask a few more questions." Guo Min'an's face no longer had the gentleness he had before, his face tightened, and he stared at Li Yan.
Li Yan's indifferent expression was clearly written on his face with the words "you can ask casually", and Guo Minan had a headache when he saw it.
"If the jade pendant is fake, why did the county lord leave such a thing for the second girl that day? And if it is fake, the real jade pendant is bound to be in the hands of the county lord, and the lower officials are bold, please send a letter to the county lord with a letter from His Royal Highness, and ask the county lord to arrange a reliable person to take the jade pendant and go to Qizhou City.
