Chapter 145 The girl is pregnant
The world is so big, it is not ruled out that there may be someone named Wei Xiaofu.
But compared to searching the whole world for a man named Wei Xiaofu without any clues, Wei Qingyan would rather start with Madam Wei Xiao.
There were many suspicious points about Madam Wei. Intuitively, she thought that the Wei Xiaofu on the piece of paper actually referred to Madam Wei.
I just don't know what her relationship with Su Mao is.
As Madam Wei's child for more than ten years, Wei Qingyan is very familiar with Madam Wei's family. He is a new minister who followed the previous emperor and is loyal to the Great Wei.
Madam Wei looks similar to her family members. Their relationship is not very close, but not distant either. It is unlikely that she is Su Mao's daughter.
Could it be a relationship between a man and a woman?
Wei Qingyan felt that the possibility was not high. If Su Mao was the man that Madam Wei was thinking about, she would definitely help Su Mao in everything.
According to Liu Huan's account, the Liu family had previously arranged for the Luo family to get engaged to Yan Lan in order to use Lieutenant General Yan to frame his father. However, Lieutenant General Yan was loyal to his father and died in battle early.
What Liu Huan meant is the same as what Su Mao meant.
If Su Mao was the man behind Madam Wei, why would he use such a roundabout way to harm the general who protected the country of Wei? Wouldn't it be easier to just let Madam Wei poison her father?
The handwriting on the piece of paper was barely at the level of someone who could write. It was probably not Su Mao's handwriting, but a letter written to Su Mao by someone else.
Can.
"Under what circumstances would someone mention Madam Wei to Su Mao in a letter?" Wei Qingyan asked Shi Yu.
Shi Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Did he discover something unexpectedly, or was he deliberately following me?"
Wei Qingyan stared at the piece of paper and fell into deep thought.
That couldn't have happened after Madam Wei returned to the capital. Su Mao was in the capital. If his people had tailed Madam Wei, they would have just reported directly to the Liu Mansion. There was no need to use letters that could easily be exposed.
Unless it was the letter Su Mao received when Madam Wei was still in Yongzhou.
But why was Su Mao staring at Madam Wei in Yongzhou?
Moreover, the letter was burned after being read, which means that the content inside was important. What could it be?
What did Madam Wei do in Yongzhou that was worth writing a special letter to Su Mao?
Could it be related to Su Fu's possession of another's body?
"Su Mao said that someone in the Wei Dynasty has been brought back to life. Is that me? Madam Wei is suspicious of me, and Su Mao knows her suspicions. So, Su Mao went to find the fat monk?"
After muttering, Wei Qingyan denied it himself.
If Madam Wei knew that she had come back to life, she would have been unable to sit still.
That night, she played chess with King Jing and looked very happy. She had no intention of returning to the capital at all. She was forced to come back by Wei Wanyi.
Therefore, Madam Wei had no idea that she was alive, and it was even more impossible for Su Mao to know about her.
Then who else in the Wei Dynasty could be brought back to life like her?
She was resurrected by the fat monk, but who resurrected that person?
When she first saw the method of possessing another's body in the notebook, she asked the fat monk about it out of curiosity.
The fat monk refused to tell her the details, fearing that she would use this method on impulse. He warned her solemnly that this was evil magic and she must not touch it.
Otherwise it will harm others and yourself.
Since she was warned like this, the fat monk would definitely not do it himself. In her impression, the fat monk was a compassionate and philanthropic person.
Wei Qingyan was very sure of this.
The person Su Mao was looking for was not the fat monk, and he couldn't find him.
Two days before she and her mother left Lotus Pier, the fat monk went to Penglai, a place that required crossing the sea. It was also a place that the fat monk had longed for and talked about for a long time.
If it wasn't the Fat Monk, then who else in the Wei Dynasty possessed the same abilities as the Fat Monk, and who also practiced sorcery? Who could it be? Was it the one who had taken away the resentment from the Cold Palace and the criminal slaves?
No matter how smart Ren Wei Qingyan and Shi Yu are, they cannot get the full picture with just these few clues.
Moreover, in the past few days, after the emperor issued an order to relocate the grave of the general who protects the country, Wei Qingyan has been sending people to keep an eye on Madam Wei.
Although Madam Wei was anxious and uneasy, she burned the letter she had written and never wrote again or had any contact with outsiders.
When Wei Wanyi moved out of the Wei family with her child, she came out to stop them and made a fuss. But seeing that Wei Wanyi insisted, she had no choice but to let Wanyi take the child away.
After that, they all stayed in the house.
They couldn't find any clues at all.
Shi Yu said, "Her actions only raise suspicions. The coffin opening is a foregone conclusion. Ordinary people, fearing punishment, would surely seek help in advance."
But she did nothing.
"Could it be that she guessed the emperor's intention?"
What are you afraid of exposing, so you're keeping your troops inactive?
Or maybe she has something to hide, so she sees enemies everywhere.
So who did she intend to send the letter she had written earlier?
Finally, the letter was burned.
Or, the recipient of the letter couldn't help her.
Or, that person's importance in her heart has surpassed her own safety.
Is it King Jing?
Or her sweetheart?
Thinking of Madam Wei's lover, Wei Qingyan frowned even deeper. They couldn't find out who Madam Wei had ever liked.
In other words, some things were erased artificially.
Back then, Wei Shiran only knew about the existence of such a person when she accidentally overheard the conversation between Madam Wei and the nanny beside her.
After finding no more useful information in the Liu Mansion, Wei Qingyan and Shi Yu went to Madam Wei's courtyard.
The room was dimly lit with only one candle by the bed. There was no servant in the room. Madam Wei was sitting alone by the window in her outer robe.
The window is wide open.
She supported her head with her hands, and Wei Qingyan couldn't see her expression from the roof.
But the secret guard who had been staring at Madam Wei told her with gestures that Madam Wei had been sitting in this position for nearly an hour.
After staying in one posture for too long, the body would become stiff. Madam Wei was a person who took great care of herself, and it was already the middle of the night.
I'm afraid she was so lost in thought that she forgot the time.
Wei Qingyan was curious, so he jumped down, walked into the dark, and looked at Madam Wei's face.
There was no anxiety, no hesitation, her eyes were long and fixed on the void, as if she was thinking of something happy, the corners of her lips slightly raised.
The expression on her face made Wei Qingyan feel strange. He took two steps closer, thinking about how to describe this expression.
The girl is pregnant!
Yes, when King Jing wanted to marry Wanyi, she, as her brother, wanted to ask Wanyi what she thought, and Wanyi had this expression of joy but also a little shyness.
Wei Qingyan felt it was strange because Madam Wei was already middle-aged and a widow, and such an expression should not appear on her face.
What kind of thing could make a middle-aged woman look like that?
There was a night cat curled up under the wall in the yard. Wei Qingyan kicked a stone with his foot and hit the cat.
The wild cat was disturbed from its sleep, and cried out in dissatisfaction at Wei Qingyan, then jumped into the flowers nearby.
The commotion in the courtyard finally made Madam Wei move.
She stood up and looked out the window. Perhaps she didn't see anything unusual, so she sat back down in front of the window.
This time, she turned up the light a little, took out the chess pieces, held the black piece in one hand and the white piece in the other, and started playing chess against each other.
Wei Qingyan had never seen Madam Wei play chess, so he was curious and jumped back onto the roof.
After watching for a while, it was clear that the black pieces were gaining the upper hand, while the white pieces were ultimately at a disadvantage, and the outcome was decided.
Suddenly, Madam Wei took back two white pieces. She actually made the white pieces regret their move. She murmured, "You said you would let me have it for the rest of my life. Can you let me have it again?"
There was some coquettishness in her tone.
Wei Qingyan rubbed the back of his hands.
Madam Wei used to treat her harshly, always had a stern face and was very domineering. But when facing Wanyi, although she had a motherly face, she also played the role of a protector.
Wei Qingyan had never seen her so delicate.
Wei Qingyan was inexplicably certain that she was not saying these words to her father.
