Old Lady Wei was furious: "You——"

Wei Ting said: "Grandma, didn't grandpa secretly train an army back then? You may not have seen the secret guards there."

Old Lady Wei was so angry that she stomped her cane and said, "Wei Xichao! Which side are you from?!"

Wei Ting silently took two steps towards Old Lady Wei: "This way."

Qin Canglan coughed.

Wei Ting silently took another step towards him.

Old Lady Wei glared at her grandson with a look of disappointment: "Girls are too young to be kept, but you are the one!"

Qin Canglan said proudly: "This is called a grown-up son is no longer under the control of his mother!"

It is not easy for the first general who cannot recognize a lot of big characters to be able to use such a colloquial saying.

To avoid being pissed off, Old Lady Wei decided to get back to the point: "Everything is just your one-sided statement! Maybe you made it up!"

Qin Canglan said calmly: "I knew you wouldn't believe it, so I never thought about explaining it to you!"

Old Lady Wei said coldly, "Really? What about the witnesses and evidence you mentioned? Your Majesty has long wanted to get rid of the Wei family. If there really is such a big handle, why not just execute the entire Wei family in one go?!"

Speaking of this, Qin Canglan was also quite angry: "Isn't it because a fire broke out in the post station on the way back to Beijing? When the officials put out the fire, there was only a charred corpse left in the room, and the letter was also burned. Of course, we can't convict your Wei family based on just a charred corpse, and -"

He stopped talking here.

Old Lady Wei finished his words for him: "Besides, all the men in our Wei family except Xiao Qi died in battle. They have made great achievements and the people are very supportive. Your Majesty dare not and cannot move."

Qin Canglan said: "You understand it yourself!"

Old Madam Wei remained silent.

Qin Canglan raised his eyebrows and said, "I have every reason to suspect that the person was silenced by Wu Anjun."

Wei Ting: "Grandfather, this is too much."

Qin Canglan cleared his throat: "Ahem. In short, there were only two possibilities back then. One, Wu Anjun colluded with Beiyan——"

Old Lady Wei said solemnly: "This is impossible! Our Wei family is full of loyal and brave people, and we would never do anything to betray the Great Zhou!"

Qin Canglan stretched out his finger and said, "The second possibility is that there is a traitor around Wu Anjun. The traitor stole Wu Anjun's seal, forged a secret letter of treason, and deliberately let me catch him."

"I'm not saying this to excuse myself. I was blinded by the villain and it was my fault. I am responsible for Wu Anjun's death. If you want revenge on me, just come after me. I have no objection. But my son's family is innocent. I don't want you to vent your anger on them!"

Old Lady Wei closed her eyes and said, "Let me make it clear first. I am not soft-hearted or afraid of you. I just don't want to fall into your evil scheme. I will check whether what you said is true or false. Before the truth comes out, I will not touch the Protectorate Mansion."

"You said that as if you could move it."

Qin Canglan can be quite talkative sometimes.

Old Madam Wei was so angry that she even grabbed her walking stick.

A little tiger poked his head in cutely: "Grandma, big grandpa, are you guys doing something dirty?"

Qin Canglan took Xiaohu out to play.

Old Lady Wei sat in a chair, shrouded in shadow.

Wei Ting stayed beside her silently, without saying a word or making any noise to disturb her.

Although I had some guesses about the truth of that year, it was still hard to calm down when I heard Qin Canglan confirm it.

There was shock, regret, and also the rage to find out whoever was behind this and tear him into pieces!

After an unknown amount of time, Old Lady Wei spoke quietly, "Did Qin Canglan tell you these words?"

Wei Ting said honestly: "No."

So, some things can only be discussed by the two parties sitting down together.

"What do you think?" asked Old Lady Wei.

Old Lady Wei dotes on Wei Ting as a child, but she also has to rely on him as the pillar of the family, because Wei Ting is the only adult son in the Wei family.

He must carry the lifeline of the Wei family.

Wei Ting thought for a moment and said, "It is very likely that there is a traitor around my grandfather."

Old Lady Wei asked, "Why do you say that?"

Wei Ting analyzed rationally, "I trust my grandfather's loyalty to the emperor and his country, this is the first reason. Second, not long after my grandfather's accident, refugees in the east rose up in rebellion, and the rebels joined forces with the Eastern Wu. Qin Canglan was ordered to march east, so even if he wanted to harm my father and elder brother, he was out of reach. Let's go back to the battle between the Great Zhou and Northern Yan. Even though my grandfather was gone, my father and brothers were all brave and skilled warriors, why did they all die at the hands of Northern Yan?"

"The intelligence the spies brought back said that my second brother was greedy for merit and acted rashly, and fell into Beiyan's empty city plan. Beiyan used my second brother as bait to lure father and eldest brother into a new trap."

"I can only say that this traitor knows our Wei family very well, and the lies he made up are in line with everyone's temperament."

"This traitor might be right next to us."

…

As the sky gradually darkened, Su Cheng invited Old Madam Wei and her family to have dinner with him, but Old Madam Wei politely declined.

It's already risky to come here. If we stay any longer, it would be bad if we are discovered.

"Big Tiger, Second Tiger, Little Tiger, Grandma will come to see you another day."

Old Lady Wei hugged her three little great-grandchildren reluctantly.

The five young ladies also kissed, hugged, and lifted them up in turn, and touched their heads.

Then the three little ones sadly discovered that their hair seemed to have become a little thinner.

Su Xiaoxiao braised the pork and ribs and planned to pack some for the women of the Wei family to take back and try.

Lan said nonchalantly, "What pieces of meat are we still missing from the Wei family?"

Old Madam Wei asked Nanny Li to accept a can of braised pork.

After arriving at the Wei Mansion, everyone returned to their own courtyards.

Jiang and Chen's courtyards were the closest, so the two of them walked together.

Halfway through the walk, Jiang began to sniff Chen.

"What's wrong?" Chen asked.

Jiang's eyes were sharp: "You have hidden meat on your body!"

"I didn't." Chen denied it flatly.

Jiang grabbed her heavy right sleeve and asked, "What's in here?"

The caught Chen could only confess honestly: "My seventh brother's wife gave it to me."

"There are five of us, why only give it to you?"

“Because you don’t want it.”

Jiang was speechless.

It’s not that they don’t want it, it’s Fourth Sister-in-law who doesn’t want it, and then everyone else feels embarrassed to accept it when they come in empty-handed.

The braised meat smelled very good, and Jiang had been craving for it all the way in the carriage.

Chen bribed, “I’ll give you half, but don’t tell grandma.”

Jiang said calmly, "Who cares? I've eaten all kinds of good food. Why would I care about the braised meat made by that girl?"

Chen said, "Oh, then I'll eat it myself."

Chen couldn't help it any longer, so without waiting to return to the yard, she opened the paper bag, picked up a big piece of meat and started to eat it.

Gurgle.

Jiang swallowed.

"Forget it. Considering that girl worked so hard for an hour, I'll have a taste."

Some things smell good but actually don't taste that good.

She took a bite to make herself give up! Jiang picked up a small piece and threw it into her mouth.

The next second, she jumped up: "I'm going to tell my grandmother!"

Chen shuddered: "Ah?"

Jiang threatened fiercely: "Unless you give me a large portion!"

You little goblins waiting for the next shift in the middle of the night

In the last two days, the old Xiao (separated) Xiang will stop operating, so everyone should hurry up and migrate.
