Chapter 484 Punishing Wei Lao Er

"What do you mean?"

Wei Qingyan slowly stood up and Wei Shiran hurriedly supported her.

"Mrs. Lu, don't you know that Lu Yongyan was sent by Lu Chengren?"

"How... does this involve your second brother-in-law again?"

Wei Lao Er looked bewildered. "Your second brother-in-law is a minister of the Great Wei and the son-in-law of the Wei family. How could he be involved with Feng Zhao? Your Highness must have misunderstood something."

Wei Qingyan waved her hand, signaling the palace maids to leave. She suddenly grabbed Wei Laoer by the collar and slapped her in the face, "Is the matter with Third Sister also a misunderstanding?"

"You, how do you know?"

Wei Lao Er's expression suddenly changed, and the blood in her body seemed to run cold. But soon she was furious, "How could the third brother be so shameless as to tell you this?"

"It was Lin Wanzhi's men who publicly humiliated Third Sister with this matter. What? Didn't your good master reveal this to you?"

Wei Qingyan slapped her again, "Lin Wanzhi is trying to use this incident to ruin Third Sister's reputation and disrupt her marriage with Lin Lanting.

Lin Wanzhi didn't even let you know about such a serious matter as betraying you. It seems that you really don't mean much to her."

Another slap was delivered, Wei Qingyan's brows were grim, "The first slap was delivered by me on behalf of Third Sister. I am not worthy of being your sister if I slap you.

The second slap was given by me on behalf of my father. I said you are not worthy of being a daughter of the Wei family.

This third slap was delivered by me on behalf of the people of Great Wei. He ate the taxes paid by the people of Great Wei, yet condoned and even aided Lu Chengren in his plot to harm Great Wei."

Wei Laoer was slapped several times in a row, and her head was buzzing. She had never been beaten before, but she didn't expect to be beaten in the palace today. Her heart was full of resentment.

But then Wei Qingyan said, "This is just a reckoning between me and you. When we go to court one day, if Lu Chengren has done anything with your involvement, you will be severely punished according to the laws of the Great Wei. I will not tolerate it."

"Qingyan, what is going on?"

This sudden scene shocked Wei Shiran, but she knew that Wei Qingyan was not the kind of person who talked nonsense, but why couldn't she understand those words?

Wei Qingyan let go of Wei Lao Er and said to her, "Are you going to say it, or am I going to say it?"

Wei Lao Er thought that Wei Qingyan would refuse to help, and thought that she might guess that the Lu family was a pawn of Lin Wanzhi and her son, so he tried various ways to test her.

She had never thought that Wei Qingyan would be so straightforward. He caught her off guard, so much so that she didn't know how to respond. She could only say, "Don't listen to the third brother's instigation. Things are not as she said.

It was clearly the third brother who was indecent. He appeared in Chengren's study in the middle of the night and seduced her. She wanted to enter the Lu Mansion, but Chengren and I refused, so she wanted revenge.

Don't be fooled by her appearance, she has evil intentions. Do you know what she did to us?"

"You mean to say that Third Sister castrated that beast, worse than an animal, and also stabbed you, right?"

Wei Qingyan's face was covered with frost. "But I think she is too kind and has not done enough."

"You were deceived by her. Things are not like that at all. Did you know that she colluded with Lin Lanting again when she went to Fengzhao this time? She even instigated Lin Lanting to send someone to assassinate your second brother-in-law."

Wei Er saw that Wei Qingyan was already on Wei San's side, so he looked at Wei Shiran, "Sister, please tell Her Highness that things are really not what she thinks. We have not wronged the Third, and we don't know any Lin Wanzhi.

This must have been instigated by someone, either the third brother or someone else with ulterior motives.

Think about it, with the relationship we have with the princess, they must be trying to create internal conflicts among us. And Yongyan, he has average skills and doesn't know the criminal, so how could he possibly think of rescuing Cao Yizhao from the National Protection Army?

Yes, that must be the case. Someone is framing us. If the Crown Princess's second brother-in-law and his family are colluding with the rebels, it will definitely have a bad influence on the Crown Princess.

Weren't there a series of conspiracies against the Crown Princess before? They must have been the work of those people, just to alienate us and weaken the Crown Princess's support.

When our Lu family is in trouble, it will be the Gong family's turn. Big sister, they are deliberately framing the people around the princess. "

Wei Qingyan's face became even gloomier. She had hardly ever had any contact with Wei Laoer, and she didn't expect that she was such a shameless person.

She had never expected that Lin Lanting would send someone to assassinate Lu Chengren. "Lin Lanting's men were captured by you, and you killed them?"

If there was no forced confession, how would Wei Laoer know that the assassin was Lin Lanting's man? Given the vicious hearts of Wei Laoer and his wife, they would probably not spare the assassin's life.

Wei Lao Er hesitated, "They want to kill Cheng Ren, so it's only natural for Cheng Ren to kill them."

Then he stared at Wei Shiran pitifully, trying to pull Wei Shiran to his camp.

However, Wei Shiran didn't pay any attention to what she said next. She just asked her blankly, "Qingyan said that Lu Chengren bullied Shijun. Is that true?"

Wei Shiran didn't expect her elder sister to focus on this, and said anxiously, "It's not bullying, she brought it to me on her own."

"Shijun has been refusing to get married and has been unable to sleep at night. Is this related to this?"

This time she asked Wei Qingyan.

Only the second brother thinks that Lu Chengren is a treasure. The third sister has broad vision and has never been confined to the world of the backyard. How could she possibly take the initiative to ask to enter the Lu Mansion?

Wei Shiran had already made a judgment in her mind.

Wei Qingyan nodded and told her that Wei Shijun was plotted against by Lu Chengren and that Wei Laoer was aiding and abetting the evil.

“Pah…”

Another heavy slap landed on Wei Lao Er's face, this time it was Wei Shiran who hit him.

"Sister, I am your biological sister."

How can you believe what outsiders say?

She covered her face with her hands, filled with anger and injustice.

Wei Shiran understood what she hadn't said and continued, "Lu Chengren is Lin Wanzhi's pawn. You insisted that your eldest brother-in-law take Yongyan to pick up Qingyan. You went there with a purpose. Not only did you commit suicide on your own, but you also wanted to drag the Gong family into it."

It's not a question, it's a statement.

"No, no, we are innocent."

Wei Lao Er insisted.

"Do you know why I have been sending gifts to the Lu family every year these years? Do you know why I have been taking care of the Lu family during your visit to Beijing this time?"

After Wei Shiran was furious, her face remained calm, "Because as the eldest sister, I can't serve my grandmother, and I can't take care of my third sister.

I thought that since you were in Tongzhou, you had taken on the responsibilities that should have belonged to me, so I wanted to make it up to you in every way.

But I never expected that you not only betrayed your country, but also helped Lu Chengren bully your own sister.

She is our biological sister who has the same father and mother as us and was born to us at the cost of our mother's life. How could you be so cruel?

Anyone can betray the Great Wei, but the children of the Wei family cannot, because the Great Wei has your father's bloodline. How dare you?"

"I didn't. You can't believe one-sided words..."

"Okay, then I'll listen to you."

Wei Shiran interrupted her harshly, "If you dare to say anything untrue, I will have my grandmother announce to the world that we will sever ties with you. From now on, you will no longer be a daughter of the Wei family, but an enemy of our Wei family. You know I can say it and I can do it."

"No, sister, you can't do this."

Wei Laoer was startled. She knew that her grandmother trusted her eldest sister the most, and if she knew the truth, she would really listen to her eldest sister.

Lu Chengren was willing to marry her because she was the daughter of the general who protected the country. Over the years, she has been the mistress of the Lu family and is valued by Lu Chengren because of her identity as a girl from the Wei family.

After Wei Qingyan died in battle, the Wei family fell into decline. She had no one to rely on, so the Lu family's attitude towards her was not as good as before.

However, she didn't expect that Wei Qingyan came back and became the Crown Princess. As the second sister, she also benefited from it. Not only did the Lu family value her more, but even when she arrived in the capital, the ladies from the noble families were polite to her and tried to please her.

If the Wei family severed ties with her, not to mention the loss of all these honors, even the fact that the Lu family had worked for Lin Wanzhi could no longer be concealed.

If she acknowledged the third brother's affairs and told him her own difficulties, even if Qingyan and her elder sister were no longer close to her, at least in the eyes of outsiders, she would still be a daughter of the Wei family and the second sister of the Crown Princess.

Her mind raced, and she quickly weighed the pros and cons, made her choice, and cried, covering her face, "Yes, Chengren has his eye on the third child. I only found out after it happened, but a woman must obey her husband, so what can I do?

The third sister has already lost her virginity. If I make a big fuss, not only will I be divorced by the Lu family, but her reputation will also be ruined. I have no other choice but to let the third sister enter the Lu family as a concubine.

"Big sister, fifth sister, I was wrong. I had no choice. I will go and apologize to the third sister. Please forgive me for once."

After hearing her words with her own ears, Wei Shiran was so angry that her whole body was shaking.

She was also worried that Wei Qingyan would be angry, which would be bad for the fetus, so she helped Wei Qingyan to sit on the chair with trembling hands. When she was about to turn around to deal with Wei Lao Er, Wei Qingyan grabbed her wrist.

Wei Qingyan shook his head slightly at her, motioning her to sit down beside him. He asked Wei Laoer in a cold voice, "Watching Lu Chengren become Lin Wanzhi's lackey, were you forced to do so?"
