There was a hint of panic in Su Huaiyue's eyes, but she tried hard to hide it. She was wondering how much Wei Che knew, and at the same time she was testing his attitude.
Wei Che's eyes were deep and unfathomable, as if he wanted to find out all the secrets from her eyes.
The moment they looked at each other, it was as if they had become strangers meeting for the first time, trying to figure out each other's thoughts.
After a while, Su Huaiyue was the first to break the silence. She raised her chin slightly, trying to make herself look calmer. She looked directly at Wei Che and asked softly, "Is there anything you want to ask me? About what happened at Zhongyueju today, and Wei Ersao."
Although she tried to keep her voice calm, the slightly trembling ending still revealed her inner nervousness.
Wei Che raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of smile flashed in his eyes. He shook his head and said bluntly: "No, I just thought it was a coincidence. Now that this matter has been resolved, you should go to bed and rest early. You must be tired today."
His tone was relaxed, as if all this was just a trivial matter, and there was no doubt or dissatisfaction on his face.
Su Huaiyue looked at Wei Che, knowing that he probably knew everything clearly in his mind.
Su Huaiyue looked at Wei Che's relaxed and casual appearance, and the uneasiness in her heart spread like wildly like vines.
She knew very well that although the scheme she set up was based on considerations of the overall situation, she was ultimately calculating against the Wei family behind the scenes. If she was seen as ruthless and disregarding family affection, it would probably leave a bad impression on Wei Che.
But she wasn't one to let things slide. She had something stuck in her heart, like a lump in her throat that she couldn't get out. So, she secretly clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and tried to steady her heartbeat.
She raised her head, straightened her back, walked forward with firm steps, and stood straight in front of Wei Che.
She looked directly into Wei Che's eyes, which were as deep as a dark pool. Although there was a hint of nervousness in her eyes, there was more determination to fight to the death.
She raised her chin slightly and confessed directly, "Second Sister Wei's ending was all my plan. I still want the Wei family to return to the capital, and you to return to the capital, but someone like Second Sister Wei will be a complete obstacle. She is greedy and selfish, and only cares about money. She will do anything for the sake of profit. Keeping her will only bring disaster sooner or later. It will bring endless trouble to the Wei family and may even endanger the foundation of the Wei family."
Although her voice was steady, every word she spoke was filled with unquestionable determination.
Wei Che lowered his head slightly and looked quietly at the brave and determined woman in front of him.
The moonlight was like water, gently falling on them, giving them a layer of soft glow, as if adding a touch of dreamy color to the tense atmosphere.
Su Huaiyue's heart was beating violently in her chest. She stared at Wei Che's eyes closely, her heart filled with anxiety.
She thought she would see Wei Che's incomprehension and anger, and see him frowning, with disappointment and dissatisfaction revealed in his eyes.
After all, she was plotting against the Wei family and destroying the family's superficial harmony.
However, she was wrong.
There was only smile and tolerance in Wei Che's eyes. That smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, warm and gentle.
His eyes seemed to be able to tolerate everything about her, including her decisiveness, her ruthlessness, and her good intentions for the future of the Wei family.
That look made Su Huaiyue's heart tremble, as if a warm current slowly flowed through her heart, dispelling the uneasiness and fear in her heart.
Su Huaiyue was a little stunned. She opened her mouth slightly, but didn't know what to say.
Wei Che looked at her like this, smiled gently, and said slowly: "If it weren't for what happened today, Wei Ersao would also be forced to go to the deep mountains and old forests one day. She is greedy for money, and her dissatisfaction with the Wei family means she has ulterior motives. Keeping such a person will only bring long-term disaster. So, all I want to say to you is that you have done a good job, and you have been very kind."
If it were him, even if Wei Ersao left, she probably wouldn't be able to leave safely like she is now.
After hearing what Wei Che said, Su Huaiyue suddenly laughed.
She laughed at herself for thinking that Wei Che couldn't understand her. How could the emperor who could walk back to the capital step by step from Youzhou with thundering means and climb to the supreme position be more merciful than herself?
There was a hint of self-mockery in her smile. Wei Che stared at Su Huaiyue quietly. Seeing a faint smile on her face, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked softly, "What are you laughing at?"
His voice was low and magnetic, and it was particularly clear in the quiet night.
Su Huaiyue raised her head and met Wei Che's gaze. The smile did not fade from her face, but became more obvious.
She shook her head slightly, a hint of emotion in her eyes, and said with a smile, "I'm just impressed. We really are a family, with such similar ideas. I thought I set up this trap and you would think I was too cruel, but I didn't expect you to not only understand, but also agree. I guess we both have the same judgment and decision in dealing with Wei Ersao."
Her voice was soft, with a hint of relief.
After hearing her words, Wei Che's mouth corners unconsciously rose slightly, with a hint of tenderness in his smile.
He suddenly bent down and leaned forward, and the distance between them became very close in an instant.
Su Huaiyue felt her breathing stagnate. She was so close that she could even feel the warm breath coming from Wei Che's body. The temperature seemed to be transmitted through the air, causing her cheeks to slightly flush.
Wei Che stared at Su Huaiyue with his deep eyes, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, and asked softly: "What are your plans after returning to Beijing?"
His voice was low and seemed to carry a kind of magic, making Su Huaiyue's heart beat involuntarily.
Su Huaiyue was a little flustered by this sudden question. Her eyes flickered slightly and she didn't dare to look directly into Wei Che's eyes.
She bit her lip and said vaguely, "What plans do I have? I'll just do my job conscientiously as the eldest sister-in-law. The Wei family has a lot of complicated affairs. When I go back, I will naturally have to take good care of them, assist the elders, and take good care of my younger brothers and sisters."
There was a deliberate calmness in her words, but the slightly trembling ending revealed her inner nervousness.
Wei Che seemed to notice her panic and did not speak immediately. Instead, he looked carefully into Su Huaiyue's eyes. Those eyes seemed to be able to penetrate her disguise and see through her true thoughts.
Under his gaze, Su Huaiyue felt as if all her disguises had been stripped away, and her thoughts were exposed.
After a moment, Wei Che suddenly smiled.
He straightened up, shook his head slightly, and said jokingly: "It turns out that my sister-in-law is not as calm as she looks."
