Chapter 253: Li Dai Tao Jiang (two chapters combined into one)
Wen Qing had a household registration and a job. She calculated that the time was almost up, so she followed Jian Deng's instructions and spread the news at the vegetable stall frequented by the maid in the Wei Mansion's kitchen.
The next day, the shopping woman told the housekeeper of the mansion the news she heard at the vegetable stall. The housekeeper then reported it to Master Wei. Master Wei had originally prepared to take his son's coffin back to his hometown for burial, but Wei Yaer was missing, and he was very anxious.
When he heard that someone saw Wei Yaer on Porcelain Street, he took people to Porcelain Street without saying a word.
When he arrived at the Porcelain Street, Master Wei was completely in the dark. Fortunately, no one knew him here, but he couldn't ask around rashly, so he had to ask someone to pretend to be a customer buying porcelain and check every shop.
The carriage was stuffy and Master Wei was in a bad mood, so he simply got out to get some fresh air.
There was a big locust tree not far away, providing cool shade. Master Wei walked over and saw a dirty woman sitting on a big rock under the shade of the tree. The woman had unkempt hair and a foul smell all over her body.
Master Wei almost vomited. Is this a lunatic?
Master Wei turned around and left. What bad luck!
Just after taking a few steps, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from behind: "Ah——"
Master Wei was startled and turned around to see the madman with his toothless mouth open, yelling at him, as if he was about to pounce on him.
Master Wei ran back to the carriage quickly. After sitting down, he was suddenly stunned. Why did that madman look a bit like Wei Yaer?
Master Wei immediately forced himself to dismiss the idea. That bitch, no matter how crazy anyone is, she will never go crazy!
When thinking of Wei Yaer, Master Wei gritted his teeth.
It’s all my aunt’s fault. There are so many girls in the Wei family, why did she fall for this bitch Wei Yaer?
If Wei Yaer was not the county lord, she would be beaten to death or drowned in a pond.
But she had the title of a county lady, and now she could neither die nor get lost. The weather was getting hotter, but she could not take her son's body back to her hometown for burial. It was all that bitch's fault.
But for some reason, Master Wei thought of that madman again.
At this moment, the men came back one after another. They searched the entire Porcelain Street but did not see any trace of Wei Yaer.
"By the way, Master, there's something I want to tell you." One of the men said hesitantly.
Master Wei was annoyed: "If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have to fart, fart quickly!"
"Master, I've asked those who run the stalls, and they said that recently, besides the pedestrians shopping, there's only one other woman on this street, and she's a lunatic."
Master Wei shuddered for no reason. Could it really be that madman?
No, no, it must not be!
Master Wei narrowed his eyes, called two confidants and gave them instructions.
The next morning, Porcelain Street was as bustling as usual. Someone was the first to notice, "Hey, that madman is gone!"
"That's great! That lunatic was dirty and smelly. I don't know how many customers he scared away."
......
Before leaving Beijing, Master Wei asked to see Concubine Li as her nephew.
In terms of seniority, he is indeed the nephew of Concubine Li, but they are very distant in blood relationship and can be considered as being of the same clan at most.
But Mrs. Wei is his biological aunt.
Now that Old Madam Wei lives in the palace, if Master Wei wants to see her, he can only do so through Concubine Dowager Li.
There was a funeral in the family, so he shouldn't have entered the palace, but Master Wei had to see him now.
After entering the Cining Palace, Concubine Li did not even show up. A nanny took Master Wei to see Madam Wei.
When the aunt and niece met, they both shed tears.
Thinking of his son who died young, Master Wei burst into tears.
So far, the biggest suspect in this case is still Wei Yaer.
If those maids had not been beaten to death, they might have been able to clear Wei Yaer of suspicion. However, Wei Yaer was too smart for her own good and killed all those who could prove her innocence, so in the end she had to bear all the consequences.
It was only after Master Wei confirmed that it was Wei Yaer who killed Wei Wubing that he asked the Ministry of Justice to release him.
Master Wei originally thought that if Wei Yaer stayed in the Ministry of Justice, it would be a disgrace to the Wei family. If Wei Yaer was convicted, it would also be a disgrace to the Wei family. If the emperor took away Wei Yaer's title, it would also be a disgrace to the Wei family.
Therefore, the best way is to get Wei Yaer out of the Ministry of Justice first, lock her up in the dungeon for a few days, and then go to the palace to discuss with Madam Wei how to deal with Wei Yaer after he finishes the funeral for Wei Wubing.
However, before the funeral was over, Wei Yaer ran away, disrupting Master Wei's plan.
He lowered his voice and told Mrs. Wei about the madman.
"Where are the people?" asked Mrs. Wei in a low voice.
Master Wei wiped his neck, and Madam Wei breathed a sigh of relief: "You did the right thing. A woman who brings disgrace to the family doesn't deserve to stay in this world."
Master Wei asked, "But what about the title of County Lady and the marriage with Prince Liang?"
Madam Wei looked at him, smiling: "Didn't you have an idea a long time ago?"
Master Wei said embarrassedly, "My nephew does have a candidate who bears some resemblance to that bitch, but no matter how similar they are, they are still two different people. They can hide it from the Liang Palace, but they can't hide it from the people in the capital who have seen that bitch."
"Looks like that bitch? Does that mean she's your flesh and blood?" asked Mrs. Wei.
Master Wei said hurriedly, "This is the child of my nephew's mistress. She is one year younger than that bitch. She has a gentle temperament, is beautiful and intelligent. You will definitely be happy to see her."
Madam Wei snorted coldly, "I will not see the vixen-born lowly creature. I don't want to pollute my eyes."
"I know you're a hard-nosed person, so you naturally look down on children born to women outside. But aren't there anyone else right now? The second and third sons also have daughters, but they don't look like that bitch. Besides, we can't let the second and third sons know about this. Their wives are all very bad people. If they get out, it will be very difficult to deal with them.
After much thought, my nephew can only think of this one outside."
Although Madam Wei was partial to her natal family, she was partial to the legitimate Wei family members. Not to mention the concubine's daughter who didn't even have a status, even a concubine's daughter was not in her eyes.
Of course, if it is a male, it is a different matter.
Wei Yaer is a county lady, and she is going to marry into the Prince of Liang's Mansion.
The marriage between the county princess and Prince Liang’s mansion cannot be arranged by anyone else.
Old Madam Wei closed her eyes, and Master Wei held his breath, not daring to speak.
After a long while, Madam Wei opened her eyes and said, "What's the name of that little bitch?"
Master Wei was stunned for a moment before he realized who the little bitch Madam Wei was talking about.
"Her name is Qian'er, Wei Qian'er."
Madam Wei snorted, "Is this slave's mother still alive?"
Master Wei felt a sinking feeling in his heart and had a bad premonition, but he didn't dare to hide it. There was no need to hide such a thing.
"Still alive," he said cautiously.
Madam Wei: "Well, I've lived to the end."
Master Wei: "Yes, my nephew knows. I will send someone to take him out of the palace first. From now on, there will be no such person in this world."
Old Madam Wei was very satisfied. He was worthy of being her most beloved nephew, as he acted decisively.
"And that Wei Qian'er face, although they are similar, but as you said, they are two different people after all.
She could hide it from Prince Liang's Mansion, but she couldn't hide it from those people in the capital who had seen her.
Instead of this, it would be better to just destroy this face.
And the murderer who killed Wu Bing should be caught too."
After receiving the instructions, Mr. Wei said goodbye to Mrs. Wei. Mrs. Wei raised her hand, made a gesture to leave, and closed her eyes.
Master Wei walked out cautiously. As soon as he walked out of the side hall for receiving guests, he saw two palace maids playing with a cat.
"Hey, which palace are these two cats from? I've never seen them before."
......
Master Wei didn't care and turned around and walked out of the Cining Palace.
It was not until Master Wei stepped out of the palace that he breathed a sigh of relief.
However, when he thought of Wei Qianer's beautiful face, he still felt a little sorry.
As for Wei Qianer's biological mother, Aunt Du, he did not feel reluctant to let her go.
When he was young, he fell in love with Aunt Du at first sight. Unfortunately, this woman came from a poor family and had been someone else's concubine. If he were to take a concubine, it would have to be a perfect woman, and definitely not a woman as impure as Aunt Du.
He raised his concubine Du outside. Although his concubine Du failed to give birth to a son, she gave birth to a daughter, Wei Qianer.
Wei Qian'er is more likable than Wei Ya'er. Seeing that he likes Wei Qian'er, Aunt Du has improper thoughts and wants to take advantage of her daughter's status and enter the mansion as a concubine.
Master Wei naturally did not let her succeed. Fortunately, Concubine Du knew when to stop and did not mention the matter of entering the mansion again. The two lived in peace for more than ten years. Concubine Du had grown old and Master Wei had not stayed at her place for a long time.
Just die, it’s redundant to stay in this world.
Long before Wei Yaer was still trapped in the dungeon, Master Wei had already sent someone to secretly go back and pick up Wei Qianer.
It is estimated that Wei Qianer is about to arrive in the capital.
......
Today, Zhen Wuduo rode his beloved little donkey out of town to attend the market. Zhao Shiqing did not go with him because there was only one donkey in the family, and both the grandfather and grandson wanted to ride it. After playing rock-paper-scissors, Zhao Shiqing lost.
The loser couldn't bear to see others riding donkeys, so she refused to go with them.
Zhao Shiqing was lying on the old man's Xiangfei chair. It was said that this Xiangfei chair was where Yang Guifei had lain, and the old man had spent five thousand taels of silver to buy it.
Zhao Shiqing lay down on it and took a nap. When she woke up, she felt that she had become more beautiful.
She decided to come and lie down here every day. Even if she couldn't be as beautiful as the moon and flowers, she could at least make fish sink and geese fall.
She leaned back in the beauty chair in a very comfortable position, with her feet raised and her mouth open, waiting for Lingbo to feed her.
Ling Bo threw a peeled grape into her mouth. Zhao Shiqing choked for a moment, but still ate it in two or three bites: "Watch out, it's all gone down my throat."
"Meow--"
Two cat shadows appeared, one in front and one behind. One landed on Zhao Shiqing's chest, and the other landed on her stomach. They knocked her unconscious and almost squeezed out the grapes she had just eaten.
"Be gentle, be gentle, you unfilial son! You're almost breaking my old bones."
"Meow--"
The little demon glared at her in condemnation. This was how she ruined the reputation of cats.
The cat has returned from the courtyard. It doesn't want to tell you what it saw and heard. It holds a grudge.
Zhao Shiqing was stunned. She knew where the big courtyard that Xiao Yao was talking about was. It was the imperial palace!
There are many cats in the palace, and Xiao Yao and Dapang have strong cat pulses in the palace.
Zhao Shiqing immediately showed her servile side. She scratched and rubbed Xiao Yao's ears in a flattering manner. Dapang couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to say something several times, but was glared back at by Xiao Yao.
It was not until the little demon was finally reformed that he decided to forgive her this time.
[The cat saw the old witch...]
Zhao Shiqing was stunned when he heard this.
The capital city was so interesting, everything was possible, except for what she could not imagine.
The Wei family actually wanted to use someone else as a substitute to marry into the Prince of Liang's Mansion.
Well, this not only treats Zhao Tingxuan as a coward, but also treats him as a fool.
However, this matter must be told to my sister and elder brother immediately so that they can make plans early.
Wei Yaer's title was Changling, which was very close to Liangdi.
But the post horse is very slow, and Zhao Shiqing will go to Tongzhou next month. She is worried that by the time her sister and elder brother start to act, she will have already arrived in Tongzhou and will not be able to see the excitement.
That night, Zhao Shiqing brought Xiao Yao and Dapang to the vicinity of Wei Mansion in the capital.
"Go to this big yard and see if there's a cat in this house. If there is, try to build a good relationship with the cat. That way, you can still hear what's going on here when you're not here."
Big Fatty showed great interest, but Little Demon rolled his eyes at him and said, "I've been here before, and that idiot was led away by me."
She doesn't like the people in this yard. The people here are not nice to cats, so the cats don't like them either.
[The cat has been here. There are no cats or dogs here.]
It was the first time that Xiao Yao saw a large yard without a cat.
The people who live here don't keep cats, and there are no stray cats in the yard.
Hearing that there were no cats here, Zhao Shiqing looked at Xiao Yao and Dapang with a distressed look on his face.
"Since there's no cat, I'll have to trouble you two. Don't worry, I'll have Ling Bo roast some more dried fish, and I guarantee you'll have plenty to eat and take."
Big Fat agreed, and the little demon looked at him sinisterly, and Big Fat lowered his head in fear.
How terrifying, the little demon’s death stare.
Xiao Yao: [You must give the silly dog a bath. The silly dog stinks and kills the cat.]
The silly dog that Xiao Yao mentioned is Xiaoye.
The boy refused to take a bath because he was dark-skinned.
Zhao Shiqing assured with both hands: "Don't worry, I'll push Xiaoye into the basin when I get back."
"A flatterer also needs to be cleaned. He is with a stupid dog and has been stained with the stupid dog's stink."
A bootlicker is Ah Huang.
It was the first time that Zhao Shiqing saw a cat bargaining with a human, and in the end the two dogs had to bear everything.
In the end, Zhao Shiqing reached a cooperation with Xiao Yao on the condition that he would give Xiao Ye and A Huang a bath.
Xiao Yao and Dapang arrived at the Wei Mansion. As soon as they landed, a guy who looked like a manager came over with a big broom to chase away the cat.
"Hurry up and go, you're annoyed by cats. Don't let me catch you and make you fight with me."
Without saying a word, the little demon pounced on the manager and grabbed his face hard.
The manager was furious and picked up a big stick, chasing the little demon and the fat man.
The two cats hid quickly and ran towards the residence of the Changling County Lord, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
