Wei Heng nodded to Old He, "Uncle He, you should also be more careful."
Old He patted Wei Heng's shoulder a little too much, then strode out with the banknotes Wei Heng had given him.
Wei Heng's eyes were slightly moist as he watched Lao He leave quietly.
At this moment, he was extremely grateful that there were still some people around him who were closely tied to him, his mother and his sister.
They not only provided him with great help in action, but also gave him a lot of comfort on the spiritual level.
The place given by Yu Zizhen was easy to find, and Lao He quickly bought what Wei Heng wanted from there.
He was afraid that he would be stopped or even searched when entering the mansion, so he hid outside the mansion gate, waiting for the servants or guards of the Lu family to come in.
The servants and guards of the Lu family were not only responsible for protecting and taking care of Wei Heng and his mother and son, but also, for the sake of caution, Lu Tong's eldest son asked them to strictly control what the three of them ate.
They buy all the herbs and food they need personally.
Fortunately, there was a well in the west wing of Wei Heng's mother's courtyard, otherwise Lao He suspected that they would not even use the water directly from the Wei Mansion.
Right now, Lao He just wanted to wait for a servant of the Lu family who was out of the house to do some shopping, or a guard of the Lu family who came back to report regularly. As long as they returned to the Wei Mansion to accompany him into the mansion, he wouldn't have to worry about being searched by the servants of the Wei family.
The fact was just as Lao He expected, because when he entered the mansion, he was diligently helping the Lu family servant who was in charge of purchasing to carry things, so the Wei family servant guarding the gate was still the same as when he went out before. He only dared to stare at him from a distance with an unwilling look, but did not dare to approach them rashly.
After giving benefits to the servants of the Lu family who helped him and thanking them again and again, Lao He rushed into the room temporarily requisitioned by Wei Heng as fast as he could, carrying the two packets of medicine he had bought as a demonstration.
Wei Heng didn't dare to leave his mother and sister, so he occupied an east wing as his temporary living place. Lao He and other servants who were loyal to Wei Heng and his mother and sister would now come to the east wing to find him when they had something to do.
"How is it?" Seeing Lao He, Wei Heng immediately stood up and walked towards him.
Old He turned around and closed the door, then bowed to Wei Heng, who was looking expectant, and said, "Master, I got it."
Wei Heng breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing him like this, Lao He hurriedly and carefully took out two small medicine bags from the hidden pocket inside his inner coat, "It cost a total of two hundred taels."
This was the first time that Lao He had seen such expensive medicine. It was also thanks to Wei Heng that he had given him the silver note in advance. Otherwise, with the few dollars he had on him, he really couldn't afford this stuff.
He returned the remaining two hundred taels of silver to Wei Heng, "This is the remaining money."
Wei Heng put away the banknotes and the medicine bag together, "Thank you for your hard work."
Lao He waved his hands quickly, "I'm just running errands, Master, you're the one who's really working hard."
He was a free man in his early years. After his hometown suffered a flood and most of his family members died, he had no choice but to sell himself and move into the mansion of a nobleman.
He was almost thirty years old at that time. Although he learned the rules from the servants in the mansion after entering the mansion, he would still unconsciously violate taboos once he got anxious.
For example, he overstepped the bounds by patting the young master Wei Heng, and he actually spoke to Wei Heng in a slanging manner.
With his poor memory, if he lived in a family with strict rules, he would have been dragged out and beaten with a stick countless times. But it was because he met a kind and generous family.
Neither Wei Heng's grandparents, Wei Heng's mother, nor Wei Heng himself, had ever punished Lao He for his occasional disrespect.
Lao He is not a heartless person. He remembers all the kindness his master has shown him and his family. Now that he has the chance, he will immediately repay them with his life.
After the two finished talking, Wei Heng was about to let Lao He go down to rest, but suddenly there was a loud noise coming from the gate of his mother's yard.
Hearing the familiar voices of his father and his favorite concubine crying, Wei Heng couldn't help but frown.
He put the two small paper bags into his sleeve pockets respectively, and then walked out accompanied by the angry Lao He.
The further he walked out, the more Wei Heng could hear what those two dogs were doing.
It turned out that although they were initially intimidated by the Lu family's power, after secretly sending Wei Heng's concubine sister away, they couldn't help but become arrogant again.
Especially now that Old Madam Wei has fainted from anger at Wei Heng's father, the person with the most say in the Wei family has suddenly become Wei Heng's father instead of Old Madam Wei. How could this man and woman, who have always hoped to kill Wei Heng and his mother and son, miss this "great opportunity"?
They didn't dare to confront the guards and servants of the Lu family, so they just stood a little distance away from the gate of the courtyard, shouting and crying loudly.
This action can be said to be both despicable and obscene. It not only disturbed the rest of Wei Heng's mother and sister, but also did not violate the order made by Lu Tong's eldest son before, which prohibited them from entering the yard where Wei Heng's mother was.
After all, the guards and servants of the Lu family were just guards and servants. They did not dare to do anything without the master's orders.
So this group of guys who were taking advantage of the loopholes started to act like that in front of the guards and servants of the Lu family.
The anger and resentment in Wei Heng's heart reached its maximum at this moment. He felt that what the staff of Zhenbei Palace said was absolutely right. He should have directly eliminated the culprit who harmed them and their son.
It's just to make him behave himself completely, not to kill his father directly. What was he hesitating about before?
If he hadn't been so cowardly as to not dare to do it, would his mother and sister not be in the situation they are in now?
Feelings of self-blame and regret flashed through Wei Heng's mind, further strengthening his determination to take action now, immediately, and right away.
"You brat, you still remember to come out!" When Wei Heng came out, his father was sitting on a chair, crossing his legs and drinking tea to moisten his throat. When he saw Wei Heng, he immediately leaned forward, pointed at his nose and started scolding him.
Wei Heng lowered his brows and bowed respectfully, "Father."
No one noticed that the moment he raised his arm and stretched it forward, there was a very light-colored fine powder in his left sleeve, which floated gently to his father's nose due to the breeze brought by his wide sleeves.
Wei Heng's father didn't notice the dust-like fine powder at all. He got angry when he saw Wei Heng's cold and restrained look, because when he was compared with Wei Heng, he always looked like a clown.
In a fit of rage, he raised his foot and kicked Wei Heng.
Wei Heng did not dodge. He thought that he should take the kick from the other party as his smallest apology to the other party for drugging him.
