But what can he do?
Since both Tan and Ma Yuzhi believed in Gu Jinli unconditionally, he could only give up.
We can't really drive them away, can we?
"Senior Sister! I never thought of kicking you out of the house. I just wanted Li'er to realize her mistakes. I... I'm not... Senior Sister, if Li'er really did something wrong, we should correct her mistakes and not let her make the same mistake again and again." Wei Cunqing explained.
They are all Gu Jinli's elders, so naturally he hopes that Gu Jinli can become an honest and kind child, and become an upright and gentle girl in the future.
"Ah Qing! Just based on Miss Liu's few words, you concluded that Li'er was wrong? How can this be justified? If you can't provide any concrete evidence, I don't want Li'er to suffer this injustice!
Aqing, Li'er is just a nine-year-old girl. If you question Li'er without any evidence, Li'er will be wronged and she will be left with an indelible shadow.
Ah Qing, without solid evidence, I absolutely cannot let you question Li'er." Ma Yuzhi was too eager to protect her daughter to care about anything else.
In short, she would not let Wei Cunqing confront Gu Jinli.
If Wei Cunqing insisted on confronting her, she would take her daughter and leave the palace.
They would not suffer this injustice in the mansion.
"That's right! Xiaoqi, how can you treat Li'er so unfairly without any evidence? Do you trust Liu Qin so much? You trust Liu Qin, but you are unwilling to trust us? From childhood to adulthood, has your master's wife ever lied to you?" Tan also joined in.
Wei Cunqing understood that they must protect Gu Jinli.
He could understand it too! Gu Jinli was Ma Yuzhi's daughter and Tan's granddaughter, so they would naturally side with Gu Jinli and pamper her.
But blind indulgence and spoiling may not be a good thing for Gu Jinli.
However, seeing the attitudes of Tan and Ma Yuzhi, he couldn't say anything more.
He had no choice but to compromise first.
"Since my master's wife and senior sister are willing to believe Li'er, just pretend that I didn't say anything. I'll take my leave first." After Wei Cunqing finished speaking, he turned and left.
Wei Cunqing returned to the study. He felt bad and had to go to Liu Qin to apologize.
Otherwise, Liu Qin would hold a grudge against him, and he would lose more than he gained.
He believed Liu Qin in this matter, but... he had no way to seek justice for Liu Qin.
He could only go to Liu Qin to admit his mistake.
Wei Cunqing wanted to sneak in through the window as he did before, but Liu Qin closed the window.
Wei Cunqing had no choice but to knock on the door. He knocked a few times, but there was no response from inside the house, so he prepared to unlock it himself and go in.
He had just taken out the knife when the door opened.
Liu Qin stared at the knife in his hand. "What? Want to kill someone to silence them?"
Wei Cunqing put away the knife. "Who are you trying to kill? Who are you trying to silence? I just wanted to open the door! I knocked but there was no response. I thought you were asleep."
Liu Qin rolled her eyes at him. "What are you doing here, Your Highness? You should go to the South Courtyard!"
"Don't talk nonsense! Qin'er! They are just my master's wife and my senior and junior sisters. You are the one I love." Wei Cunqing explained.
What was he doing in the South Courtyard in the middle of the night?
Liu Qin wouldn't think that he and his junior sister... How could it be possible? He only has brotherly feelings for Ma Yuxue!
He only has family affection for his master's wife and the others!
His master's wife raised him, and he always treated Ma Yuzhi and Ma Yuxue as his own sisters.
Liu Qin was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. Even if Wei Cunqing didn't have this idea, Ma Yuzhi and the others did!
She had guessed most of it. Ma Yuzhi asked Gu Jinli to target Jiang Qiuning, and she was the one targeting her!
Ma Yuzhi probably wanted Gu Jinli to open a gap and then drive them all out of the Regent's Palace.
It's hard for Ma Yuzhi to make such a plan.
There is no need for Ma Yuzhi to try to drive her away, she will leave on her own.
Doesn’t Ma Yuzhi just dislike her?
She also dislikes Ma Yuzhi and the others!
Once she has arranged everything, she will leave on her own.
"Qin'er! Everything I said is true! You have to believe me!" Wei Cunqing hugged Liu Qin from behind.
Liu Qin struggled and avoided Wei Cunqing.
She didn't want to see Wei Cunqing now, and she didn't want to have any close contact with Wei Cunqing.
"Really? Then when can you give Qiu Ning and me justice? Gu Jinli wronged us, you can't just let it go, right?" Liu Qin questioned.
Wei Cunqing: ...
Seeing Wei Cunqing's helpless look, she knew that Wei Cunqing would definitely return in failure.
It must be the Tan family and the others who are protecting Gu Jinli and preventing him from finding out the truth, right?
As long as the truth of the matter is unclear, Wei Cunqing will be suspicious of them.
Well, let Wei Cunqing doubt her.
She also didn't expect Wei Cunqing to trust her 100%.
"Qin'er, Master's wife and the others... they believe in Li'er, they want to protect Li'er, so I have no choice but to give up, but I believe in you.
Qin'er, I was wrong. Don't be angry. I shouldn't have come here to question you." Wei Cunqing admitted his mistake.
Liu Qin laughed out loud: "Your Highness, you are joking! How could Your Highness be wrong? We are wrong! We shouldn't cause trouble for Your Highness! We shouldn't have tried to clear our name.
Your Majesty, since the palace can no longer accommodate us, we will just leave."
Upon hearing this, Wei Cunqing's expression changed. "What did you say? You want to leave?"
Seeing Wei Cunqing frowning, Liu Qin immediately changed her words, "No! I didn't want to leave. I wanted to send Qiu Ning and Rou'er to the palace to study. This is what His Majesty said before. I didn't intend to let them enter the palace, but now I think it's better for them to enter the palace, so as to avoid conflicts with Miss Gu in the mansion.
"Seventh Brother, I will send Qiu Ning and Rou Er to the palace to study tomorrow, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Cunqing's brows relaxed. It was no problem to just send Jiang Qiuning and Lin Yuerou to the palace to study!
It is indeed a good thing that Jiang Qiuning and Lin Yuerou entered the palace, otherwise they would inevitably have conflicts with Gu Jinli again if they stayed in the mansion.
He will be the one in trouble then!
"Okay! They are all your children, you decide." Wei Cunqing agreed readily.
He took two steps forward and hugged Liu Qin, "Qin'er! I'm sorry for putting you through this! I'm sorry!"
Liu Qin: ...
If she wasn't afraid of angering Wei Cunqing, she really wanted to continue making trouble!
But she was afraid! This was Wei Cunqing's territory, and it would be of no benefit to her if she annoyed Wei Cunqing.
If Wei Cunqing imprisoned her, wouldn't she just be Wei Cunqing's bird in a cage?
So, she had to choose to compromise first.
Originally, she just wanted to leave, but just now, she made a decision.
She decided to leave and escape from here!
Since you are leaving, you have to prepare well.
She, Wei Cunqing, never fights a battle without preparation.
She didn't want to put Wei Cunqing in a dilemma, and she didn't want him to be plotted against in the mansion.
"As long as Seventh Brother trusts me!" Liu Qin pursed her lips and said.
Wei Cunqing hugged her tighter, "Of course I believe you! Qin'er, you have to believe me too, okay?"
