Chapter 664 Wei Qing’s Plan
It was bitterly cold in November.
The warm sun breaks through the clouds and shines on my body, making me feel particularly warm.
Tang Li was wearing a red jacket, revealing a pretty little face with bright eyes and white teeth. Even after giving birth to two babies, her figure did not change. She just gained some weight and looked a little plump.
Her hand was wrapped in a big hand.
Wei Qing wore a black brocade robe with cloud patterns on the cuffs and a wide belt around his waist, outlining his lean figure. He was tall, and Tangli reached his shoulders, making him look particularly petite next to him.
The couple holding hands and walking through the streets is quite interesting.
Wei Qing is too busy and rarely takes a vacation, so the two of them rarely have the opportunity to spend time together.
Walking like this, it seemed as if they were back in the small mountain village, when they would digest their food together after meals.
Occasionally, when they walked into an empty alley, Wei Qing would suddenly lower his head and lean closer to steal a kiss, like a cat that had successfully stolen some fish, smiling with exceptional happiness.
Along the way, I heard a lot of discussions about Princess Anyue and the Lu family.
The story of Princess Anyue has spread throughout the capital and has become a hot topic among the people.
"Princess Anyue is truly vicious. Yu Anniang was pregnant, yet she pushed her into the well. Marquis Pingyang was deceived for eighteen years, believing his beloved had eloped with someone without his knowledge."
"Yes, Yu Anniang was truly miserable after lying in the dry well for eighteen years. Fortunately, her injustice has been vindicated and she has seen the light of day again."
"The Lu family has a clean and upright family tradition. How could such a vicious woman emerge from this family? It's truly a misfortune for the family."
"I heard that Lord Lu is going to donate a temple for Yu Anniang to make up for her suffering. In fact, this matter is not the Lu family's fault. Lord Lu is very kind-hearted."
"Yes, the Lu family is also innocent in this matter."
The people were talking about it, and most of them felt that Princess Anyue deserved it and that the Lu family was innocent.
In fact, this kind of public opinion is also related to the Lu family's usual showmanship.
When you think about it carefully, is the Lu family really right?
Princess Anyue has been married into the Lu family for eighteen years. Didn’t the Lu family notice her character?
The death of Yu Anniang was actually kept secret from the Lu family. Isn't the Lu family too stupid?
Is it just Princess Anyue's fault that Lu Xuan was raised to be so vicious and arrogant?
People's hearts are biased. If you think someone is good, you will think of everything he does in a positive way. If you think someone is bad, you will think of everything he does in a negative way.
The Lu family has always had a good reputation and left a good impression on the people. The people would then excuse the Lu family and blame the crime on Princess Anyue alone.
Wei Qing took Tang Li by the hand and walked to the outside of Ningfeng Restaurant.
It was afternoon now, not yet lunchtime, so there were not many people in Ningfeng Restaurant.
The two entered the restaurant, went into a private room, and asked the waiter to prepare a cup of hot tea.
The two sat face to face, Tang Li supported her chin with both hands and stared at her husband.
The man is really handsome, with an angular face, deep facial features, black eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips, everything about him is perfect.
Wei Qing naturally knew that his wife was looking at him, and he was very happy. If he had a tail, it would have been raised to the sky.
He tried hard to keep himself together and act like a handsome and cool guy.
"What's the point of just looking at it? Do you want to kiss it?" Wei Qing coughed and asked seductively.
Tang Li stood up, moved over and kissed him on the lips, but was hugged by Wei Qing.
Wei Qing was very strong. He put his arm around her waist, picked her up, and sat her on his lap.
"Husband, do you have any other preparations for the Lu family's affairs?" Tang Li asked curiously.
Her husband said he wanted to deal with the Lu family, so he obviously had a trick up his sleeve and wouldn't be so easily understood.
Wei Qing rubbed her face with his stubble and nodded. "Old Lu is so petty, he must have taken us to heart. The Lu family and we are now clearly at odds. I've discovered quite a few problems with the Lu family through my investigation. Let's start with what Old Lu cares about most."
Lord Lu is the number one fame-seeker in the world. He wants to embellish everything he does with a good reputation, hoping to leave his name in history.
Therefore, the thing that matters most must be reputation.
"The Lu family is like a giant. If you dig at it corner by corner, it will eventually collapse with a bang."
"Husband, what are you going to do?" Tang Li continued to ask.
Wei Qing pointed outside the window, and Tang Li leaned over and looked out.
Outside the window, there are many people, including vendors walking hurriedly, pedestrians in a hurry, nobles walking leisurely, and children playing by...
What exactly did her husband want her to see?
Tangli observed those people.
Someone walked into her sight.
He was a down-and-out middle-aged man, wearing dirty and ragged clothes, dragging a sick leg, and carrying two wooden barrels. He would stop at any restaurant, and most of the time he would wave people away in disgust.
After stopping downstairs for a while, his bucket was filled with slop. The middle-aged man expressed his gratitude and then left carrying the slop.
"Wife, what did you see?" Wei Qing asked.
"Poor man." Tang Li said.
There are so many sufferings in this world. Too many people are still suffering, struggling to survive and to stay alive.
"This man is called Lu San. His wife died of illness years ago, and now he's alone, relying on selling swill for a living." Wei Qing said, "But twenty years ago, he wasn't like this. He was healthy, had a small fortune, and he and his wife loved each other very much."
Her husband said that this person must have a reason, and connected to what he said about the Lu family before...
Tang Li reacted immediately: "Is it because of the Lu family that he became like this?"
"Smart, I'll give you a kiss as a reward." As he said that, he kissed Tangli on the forehead.
Tangli: “…”
Why does she feel that her husband is taking advantage of her?
"This man's name is actually Lu Shao. He was a fierce general under Lu An." Wei Qing said.
Tang Li remembered that Lu An had been a general with a distinguished military record. Twenty years ago, the young general, so promising and handsome, must have been the one who had captured the heart of Princess Anyue at first sight.
"Lü An was granted the title of marquis because of the battle in Yibei. This battle made Lu An famous and also earned him the title of marquis later. In fact, this battle was originally the credit of Lu Shao." Wei Qing said.
Tang Li was shocked. This was falsely claiming military merit, a serious crime punishable by exile under the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty. How could Lu An dare?!
"Since Lu An cannot accomplish this task alone, there is naturally another way, Lord Lu. If your descendants are not promising, you can only make them promising artificially." Wei Qing said.
"So, my husband... you want to?"
"Seek justice for Lu Shao." Wei Qing said.
It kills two birds with one stone, both to seek justice for others and to expose the true face of the Lu family.
Her husband is really smart.
The two rested in Ningfeng Restaurant for half an hour, then left hand in hand.
The sun is shining brightly outside. It’s so comfortable to bask in the warm winter sun.
