Chapter 56 One is constantly injured, the other is constantly healing
"But on the way, we encountered robbers who killed my father and all the servants he brought with him, and they also took away the goods."
Lu Wanning asked, "Then how did you know that Wei Xun was responsible?"
"He said it himself," Sang Mingyue gritted her teeth. "After all, we've been married for so many years, so he knows me a little bit. Even if he told me this himself, I can't do anything without evidence. And if I get angry, it will play into his hands."
"What he wants is for me to attack him, just like now, I'm being chased here and there and can't do anything."
"He does have some scheming in him." Lu Wanning touched her chin and grinned. "So, do you plan to use a decent strategy to deal with him, or a less decent one?"
"What does this mean?" Sang Mingyue was puzzled.
"How about this, let's do it in two ways." Lu Wanning rubbed her hands, "Let's first look for evidence that Wei Xun murdered your father. If we can find it, we'll bring him directly to court. If we can't..."
She made a beheading motion with her palm on her neck and said, "Let's just give him a taste of his own medicine and kill him. He's not a good person anyway."
Sang Mingyue never gave up on killing Wei Xun, but this man was very well guarded. Except for the two times she stabbed him on purpose that day, she could never get close to him again. So Sang Mingyue's eyes were a little gloomy.
"He's offended a lot of people in the past, and now he's killed my father. He must be aware that there are many people who want to kill him, so he will naturally be more cautious. It won't be so easy to succeed."
"It's not easy for you to get close to him, but that doesn't mean others can't."
Lu Wanning said mysteriously, "Don't worry, just find the evidence first, and leave the rest to me."
Qi Muchao slept all day, and when he woke up, Lu Wanning was studying the recipe under candlelight.
The candlelight was dim. I don't know if it was because he had just woken up and was still a little dazed, or because of the candlelight, but the look on his face when he looked at Lu Wanning seemed a little gentle.
Qi Muchao looked at it for a long time, then moved a little. "What are you doing?"
"Are you awake?" Lu Wanning looked up, her eyes sparkling. "I plan to improve the recipe and make your medicine into pills in advance."
"By the way, are you going out these days?"
"Yes." Qi Muchao's expression softened a bit, but he couldn't help but say something sarcastic, "You don't blame me now?"
Lu Wanning felt a little uncomfortable. "I don't blame you. I'm just a little angry that you don't take care of your body."
After just coming back, she took Qi Muchao's pulse. This man must have been running around a lot these days. Not only was his pulse extremely chaotic, but his body was also exhausted to the extreme.
This is probably the reason why he came back this time.
Lu Wanning called Hu Yan and asked her to go to the kitchen to bring over the nourishing soup that had been stewing for a long time.
Qi Muchao drank the nourishing soup and sat beside her to watch her study the prescription.
This man had a pair of beautiful eyes, and his gaze was like fire when he looked at people. Lu Wanning felt hot all over, and she had no choice but to put the prescription away.
Qi Muzhao held up his face and chuckled, "Okay?"
"It's not okay, but I can't bear to see you looking at me like that." Lu Wanning glared at him.
Since there was nothing to do at the moment, Lu Wanning told him everything she had done in the past few days and also told him how she found Sang Mingyue.
But this time, Qi Muchao changed his opinion on Sang Mingyue's affairs.
"Did you know that Wei Xun was considering joining the Crown Prince?"
Lu Wanning was stunned, "Really?"
She really didn't know this. In her previous life, she didn't understand the twists and turns involved, and Sang Mingyue rarely described the dangers to her. The two of them just tacitly understood that one kept getting injured while the other kept healing.
No wonder Sang Mingyue failed to kill Wei Xun for such a long time. Instead, he was hunted like a rat crossing the street and dared not show his head at all.
If he had taken refuge with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, that would make sense.
Lu Wanning's face darkened. "All the treasures Master Sang acquired while he was alive were presented to the palace, and a good deal of the silver he earned was donated to the national treasury. Now that Master Sang's body is still warm, are you going to completely abandon him and support his enemy to take the throne?"
Emotionally, this matter is indeed a little difficult to understand, but logically, in the eyes of those in power, interests are above everything else.
Sang's father is dead, but the wealth of the Sang family is still there. Although Wei Xun is cruel and ruthless, he is also a good businessman. With the Sang family's assets in his hands, he may be able to do better than Sang's father.
Sang's father was an upright man, old-fashioned and conservative. Although most of the property in the national treasury was contributed by him, he was not liked by the emperor.
After all, no emperor would like his subjects to have a better reputation among the people than himself.
In the capital and several cities around it, no one might say anything when the emperor is mentioned, but when Sang's father is mentioned, they all praise him highly.
Wei Xun was completely different from him. He was smooth, sophisticated, knew how to bend down, and was easy to control.
Such a person is a good knife in the eyes of the superiors.
Qi Muchao thought of the tone His Royal Highness the Crown Prince used when he mentioned Wei Xun, and he couldn't help but look at Lu Wanning with some pity.
But he felt that Lu Wanning should be aware of these principles that were not stated openly but were secretly followed by everyone.
So he said, "Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Second Prince both want to win over Wei Xun. He holds the Sang Mansion's assets, which is like holding a mountain of gold. Once they get it, it will be like adding wings to a tiger for these two His Royal Highnesses."
"So, whether it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or the Second Prince, neither of them will let anything happen to Wei Xun."
"Not to mention that there is no evidence that he killed Mr. Sang, even if there is, the evidence cannot be brought to court."
What is silver? It is weapons, food, and capital in fighting.
Lu Wanning didn't say anything for a long time. She knew that Qi Muchao was right, but what was the difference between this and aiding and abetting evil?
She was unwilling to accept this, "Then should we just consider ourselves unlucky about what happened at the Sang Mansion?"
Qi Muchao lowered his eyes. "Some things just don't make sense. Some people were killed by bandits while walking on the road. Some people were killed by bad guys for no apparent reason. Some people killed their husbands for their lovers. Some people poisoned their wives for their concubines. Such things can be seen everywhere, but there are very few people who were actually brought to court and convicted."
"If the world were truly fair, there wouldn't be a world where royalty, nobles, and common people are divided."
Lu Wanning had a blank expression on her face. "I don't think it's fair if everyone agrees like this. That would be the end of it."
She placed her index finger on Qi Muchao's chest and asked, "You think Wei Xun can keep the Sang Mansion's shops and properties running, but Sang Mingyue can't?"
