Lu Tong's eldest son nodded. "Then Auntie must hurry. If she doesn't leave the city before tonight, or if she's brought back by your good son soon, then I'll have no choice but to break the rules and deal with her for you. You know the Lu family's Yanmei Temple. I can let her spend the rest of her life there, always with the green lamp and ancient Buddha, cultivating her character."
The Yanmei Temple of the Lu family is the Lu family's family temple, which is specially used to imprison some female relatives who have committed serious crimes but are not punishable by death. If Wei Heng's half-sister really went there, she would definitely not be able to come back in this life.
The old lady was disheartened. "No, I will have someone keep an eye on her."
She knew that Lu Tong's eldest son brought up Yanmei'an specifically to tell her that the mistake her granddaughter made was unforgivable, at least from the Lu family's perspective.
The old lady agreed, and Lu Tong’s eldest son felt relieved.
He left behind some of his guards and attendants and asked them to stay here with the imperial physician until Wei Heng's mother and sister recovered and no longer needed their constant care. He then took most of his guards and attendants back to the Lu family to report the situation to his father.
Their Lu family has to face attacks from political enemies, and these attacks cannot be completely resolved by just doing a few things. He has to tell his father the whole story, and then they will gather their staff to discuss and come up with an appropriate explanation so that the Lu family will not be too passive at tomorrow's morning court.
Lu Tong's eldest son left in a hurry and didn't know that not long after he left, Wei Heng's half-sister was secretly sent away by her biological mother.
The one who covered for her was Wei Heng's father. This pair of bastards didn't think there was anything wrong with their precious daughter throwing her younger sister into the lake. They even directly borrowed the excuses that Wei Heng's grandmother used every time to exonerate Wei Heng's father.
Things like "How could she have any bad intentions at such a young age?" and "Even if she caused her younger sister to fall into the water, it was just a moment of carelessness and not intentional."
The two idiots, who acted with a clear conscience, sent their crying daughter away together. By the time Mrs. Wei realized what was happening, the child had already been hidden somewhere unknown.
Having just been threatened by Lu's cousin, and now being contradicted by her disobedient son so soon, Mrs. Wei rolled her eyes and fainted again.
This time was different from the previous two times. This time her body was really injured.
After taking her pulse, the imperial physician did not wake her up immediately, but instead wrote out a prescription and asked someone to get the medicine and boil it for her.
By the way, he also put the blame of the old lady fainting from anger on Wei Heng's father without any explanation.
"Old Madam Wei is showing signs of a stroke, so Master Wei should just go along with her."
As for the fact that Old Lady Wei fainted twice due to being threatened by Lu Tong's eldest son, the imperial physician said that the old lady did not show such symptoms at that time. So even if she really had the disease, the cause could definitely not be attributed to Lu Tong's eldest son.
Wei Heng's father didn't know that his mother had fainted twice. The Wei family was in a mess today, and he didn't care about his mother at all.
The imperial physician looked down on him and was too lazy to talk to him, so naturally he missed an important piece of information that would put the Lu family in a passive position.
He didn't know what Wei Heng's father and Old Lady Wei had said to each other that caused the latter to faint from anger, so he just followed the instructions and prescribed medicine for Old Lady Wei.
The servants and guards left behind by Lu Tong's eldest son were all gathered around Wei Heng's mother's yard, and they knew nothing about what happened here with Old Lady Wei.
They didn't know that Lu Tong's eldest son, who thought the matter was already a sure thing, did not spare the energy to confirm it. So Wei Heng's concubine sister took advantage of the fact that no one else cared about her, took the money and manpower given by her biological mother, and ran away without a trace.
The next day, when the Lu family was impeached, Lu Tong and his son learned from their political enemies that Wei Heng's half-sister had been secretly sent away by her parents after she committed such a serious mistake.
Lu Tong and his son were so angry, especially Lu Tong. He made a prompt decision and first apologized to the emperor for his failure to properly discipline his married cousin, which led to his cousin's son trampling on ethical principles and corrupting the world's customs. Then he said that after the court session, he would immediately expel his cousin who ignored the law from the clan, and she would no longer have any relationship with the Lu family.
This punishment is certainly harsh, but it will only harm the interests of Mrs. Wei and her son.
As for the others, including Lu Tong and his son, their reputations would at most be affected by Old Lady Wei and her son for a while, but there would actually be no harm at all.
But there is nothing that can be done about it. After all, such evil deeds are not done by anyone else, including Lu Tong and his son.
Wei Heng knew nothing about what was happening in the court. His mother and sister were both seriously injured, and his mother was even dying, so he had never appeared in the palace since he returned to the Wei Mansion.
But his father, who was worse than a beast, sent his half-sister away, and one of his mother's servants who came with her as a dowry had already told him about this secretly.
Wei Heng gnashed his teeth in hatred, and for the first time he had the thought of killing his father.
He took a few deep breaths and suppressed his violent temper, so as to avoid an impulsive act and rushing into his father's yard with a knife in his hand without considering the consequences.
"Uncle He, please do me a favor." Wei Heng lowered his voice and spoke a few words to the middle-aged man he called Uncle He.
Uncle He was one of the two male servants who had rushed out of the Wei Mansion to seek help. Although he was beaten all over and his face was bruised by the Wei family's servants who stopped him and chased them in the process of forcing their way in, he still insisted on staying by Wei Heng's side and obeying his orders, instead of following the doctor's advice and finding a place to recuperate.
It wasn't that he wasn't in pain, but he discovered that the brothers who were previously responsible for guarding the courtyard where his girl (Wei Heng's mother) lived were all more seriously injured than him.
Uncle He then gave the opportunity to rest and recuperate to others, while he gritted his teeth and held on, ready to help Wei Heng with things that were not convenient for him to ask the Wei family's sons or the Lu family's servants to do.
At that time, he was just trying to be on the safe side, but unexpectedly, Wei Heng actually assigned him a task that sounded very mysterious and strange.
"Master, rest assured. I, Old He, will definitely buy what you want." After Uncle He made this promise, he couldn't help but whisper to Wei Heng, "Just stay here. No matter who says anything, don't leave the sight of those Lu family guards."
Wei Heng understood what he meant. Compared to his sister, he and his mother, who respectively occupied the positions of the eldest son and the first wife of the Wei family, were the ones that his heartless father and his father's greedy concubine wanted to get rid of the most.
