"As for what kind of evidence would completely cause her to fall from grace, my family's staff said that your mother should understand the intricacies of the inner chamber better than men like them."
"Of course, this method can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. Your father doesn't seem to be a passionate person. Even if your mother gets rid of his favorite concubine now, he will most likely find another one in the future."
After all, even though he was so "infatuated" that he would kill his wife for his concubine, Wei Heng's father did not hesitate to bring new faces to his backyard from time to time.
It is certainly impossible for such a person to become devastated and disheartened after the death of his favorite concubine. He will only intensify his efforts to find more concubines for himself and create more trouble for Wei Heng's mother.
Wei Heng was silent for a moment. "Your Highness's concerns are reasonable. I wonder what the second solution your staff has come up with?"
He believed that he knew his father, who was worse than a beast, better than Yu Zizhen and the staff of the Zhenbei Palace, so he silently corrected Yu Zizhen's words "There is a high possibility that he will find other concubines in the future" to "He will definitely find other concubines in the future."
Precisely because he was absolutely certain that this was something his father could do, Wei Heng asked Yu Zizhen directly about the second method after a brief silence.
With Yu Zizhen's previous words "a gentler one", Wei Heng had already prepared himself mentally for the fact that the latter method would definitely not be very gentle.
However, even so, what Yu Zizhen said still shocked Wei Heng.
"It's simple. Just get rid of the troublemaker."
Wei Heng stopped dead in his tracks when she said this, and looked at Yu Zizhen in shock.
Indeed, he hated his father, and even hated his father's cold-bloodedness, ruthlessness, and unreliability, but he really didn't have the heart to kill his father.
Yu Zizhen knew immediately that Wei Heng had misunderstood. She said, "Killing him isn't the only solution. As long as he can no longer express his likes and dislikes, then even if he's still alive, won't you and your two children be safe?"
Wei Heng understood immediately, but he quickly frowned in annoyance. "My grandmother will definitely spare no effort to cure him."
"A loving mother often spoils her child. She spoiled your father into the kind of person he was. She should bear at least half the responsibility for his evil deeds." Yu Zizhen put his hands behind his back and offered the most chilling advice in the most gentle and harmless tone. "Since the responsibility is half and half, shouldn't the consequences also be shared?"
It is reasonable to say that if Wei Heng did not dare to kill someone, Yu Zizhen would have hoped that he would have done it directly.
This is also why she did not directly tell Wei Heng at the beginning that she could make them lose their ability to move and become living dead, but chose to use a very flexible word like "solve".
In her opinion, not everyone in the world who is related to Wei Heng by blood is worthy of being his relative.
His father wanted to kill him, his mother and his sister. His grandmother knew what her son was doing, but still chose to abandon her daughter-in-law and grandchildren without hesitation. One was the main culprit and the other was an accomplice. Yu Zizhen really felt that it was not unfair for Wei Heng to kill them.
There is also the concubine of Wei Heng's father. This woman was also involved in harming Wei Heng, his mother, and his sister.
If these three people were replaced by Yu Zizhen, he would have directly sentenced them to death. However, Wei Heng, who was brainwashed by the ideas of the Great Qi Dynasty that the king is the king and the minister is the minister, the father is the father and the son is the son, obviously did not have the clear love and hate like Yu Zizhen, who believed in "I treat others the way others treat me".
He would take blood ties into consideration. Even though he held a grudge in his heart because his grandmother and father had caused him, his mother, and his sister to die, he would still respect them and tolerate them in his actions.
Yu Zizhen does not force others to follow the same path or believe the same principles as herself, just like she will not take on too much responsibility to help Wei Heng solve problems, but only provide him with some advice.
She said to Wei Heng, "There's a mysterious doctor who's been elusive lately in Huaishu Lane in West City. If you don't have a trustworthy doctor, why don't you go to the dilapidated temple at the end of Huaishu Lane and ask the old man there for two packets of 'insect repellent powder'?"
Wei Heng's mouth twitched slightly. The medicinal powder used on people was actually named "anthelmintic powder". That strange doctor really lived up to the name of "weird doctor".
He nodded slightly, "Thank you, Prince. Wait until..."
Yu Zizhen waved his hand. "You don't have to tell me in detail what you're going to do, and it's best not to tell anyone else. You have to know that the only real secrets are the ones you keep to yourself."
Wei Heng was deeply moved when he heard this. He was originally afraid that Yu Zizhen would think that he had turned against him after taking advantage of the situation, so he wanted to reiterate his promise. However, he did not expect that Yu Zizhen not only did not ask him to fulfill his promise before a certain time, but also did not even understand his plan and use it to control his intentions.
Good guy!!!
Wei Heng was so moved that tears almost fell from his eyes. He gave Yu Zizhen a good guy card without hesitation, and then made a secret resolution in his heart that he would repay Yu Zizhen's help in the future.
Having made up his mind, Wei Heng began to think about which of the two methods provided by Yu Zizhen was more feasible and concealed. Also, if he was not careful and accidentally revealed his identity, what should he do to get rid of his mother and sister cleanly and minimize the extent to which they would be implicated by him.
He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't notice when they walked out of the South Study.
It was not until he accidentally met Wu Mingyu's inquiring gaze that Wei Heng suddenly came to his senses.
He collected his thoughts, put on his usual humble smile, and greeted Wen Sheng and Wu Mingyu.
While Wu Mingyu was greeting Wei Heng and Yu Zizhen, he quickly started thinking about where Wei Heng's abnormal behavior yesterday and today came from.
Yesterday, Wei Heng not only avoided everyone and got close to Yu Zizhen, but also shed tears in front of her. This matter was already weird enough, but before he could find out the reason, Wei Heng got together with Yu Zizhen again today.
This matter seemed unusual no matter how you looked at it, and Wu Mingyu couldn't help but have many questions in his mind.
However, before he could figure out how to start his conversation, Yu Zizhen had already left him and went to talk to Wei Heng.
"Is cricket fighting really as fun as you say?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Mingyu paused in his steps as he was about to chase after him.
He looked at Wei Heng's back and felt a sense of crisis in his heart.
"This kid is really good. He actually walked ahead of me without making any noise." Wu Mingyu thought with gritted teeth, "No, I have to speed up the progress."
Of course, speeding up the process does not mean that he would risk becoming a discarded pawn and ending up in disgrace by inducing Yu Zizhen and Xiao Yuanjin to do bad things. What he wants to do now is to pair Yu Zizhen and the eldest princess together.
