While the entire literati community was thinking about how to characterize Lu Chen's identity and his doctrines, Wei Yong was drinking alone at home.
He was not depressed because he failed to bring Lu Chen to justice. At this moment, he was worried about his own family affairs.
Wei Yong is now nearly fifty years old. He has no sons, only one daughter, and she was born in his old age.
As the father already loved his daughter, and finally had such a daughter, Wei Yong naturally treated her as the apple of his eye.
A marriage had been carefully chosen for her at a young age, but the problem arose with this marriage.
This marriage, which seemed to be a good match and even a bit of a high-class marriage at the time, has now become a burden to their family.
Some time ago, because the bribery of his relative was exposed, the whole family was exiled, and it was Wei Yong who personally impeached him.
In this way, his image of being ruthless and impartial was solidified, but it also caused his own daughter to suffer.
After personally sending the in-laws away, my daughter will be the one whose engagement is broken off.
In Da Qi, once a girl’s engagement was broken off, her reputation would be ruined.
It would be almost impossible for a girl from the Wei Yong family to marry someone of equal social status in the future.
The only option now is to either find a merchant family to marry into, or let his daughter spend the rest of her life in seclusion.
My old wife at home cries every day because of this matter, and my daughter has become depressed and bedridden. Our home has been messed up.
"Why!"
With another heavy sigh, Wei Yong picked up the wine glass in his hand and drank the turbid wine in it.
It is really sad to think that he is a great imperial censor, but his family has become like this now.
But Wei Yong never regretted sending his in-laws away. As the Imperial Censor, he could not keep silent when he saw anything illegal.
Not to mention that the other party is just a relative, even if something like this happened to his own son, he would not show any mercy. Of course, the prerequisite is that he has a son.
As the saying goes, there are three unfilial acts and the worst is to have no descendants. At this age, Wei Yong still has not given birth to a son. The psychological pressure is very great. He even considers whether to take a concubine.
At this moment, a servant suddenly rushed in from outside, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying: "Master, it's not good, please go to the backyard and take a look, the eldest lady... the eldest lady is upset..."
Before he could finish his words, Wei Yong had already rushed out in a panic. He stumbled into the backyard, looking very embarrassed.
As soon as he ran into the backyard, he rushed towards his daughter's boudoir, shouting as he ran: "What happened? What happened?"
"master!"
With a scream, the old wife rushed over from the side, tears in her old eyes, she said: "Cai'er... Cai'er cut her wrists, and the blood is all over the floor. Please go and ask the emperor to send the imperial physician to save her."
Upon hearing this, Wei Yong’s vision went dark and he almost fell to the ground.
He burst into tears and said, "Daughter, you are so foolish! If anything happens to you, what will I do?"
"Master, now is not the time to talk about this. Go find the doctor. I only have this one child. If anything happens to her, I won't be able to live anymore!"
Seeing the family in complete chaos, Wei Yong stamped his foot fiercely and said, "Why are you all so panicked? The sky won't fall as long as I'm here! I'll go get the imperial physician right away!"
After saying this, he hurried out. The Imperial Censor was one of the Nine Ministers and held a very high position in the court. Even if Li Zhuo didn't like Wei Yong very much, he still had to show that he valued him.
What's more, Wei Yong dealt with his in-laws for the benefit of the court. Now that something has happened, if the emperor turns a blind eye, it would seem a bit cold-hearted.
So when he heard that something happened to Wei Yong's family, Li Zhuo immediately asked the best doctors in the Imperial Hospital to follow Wei Yong to his home.
Under the treatment of a group of imperial doctors, Wei Yong's daughter's bleeding stopped, but her condition did not improve.
Doctor Cai walked out, shaking his head and sighing.
Wei Yong's wife almost fainted when she saw this and asked, "Doctor, how is my daughter?"
Doctor Cai sighed heavily again and shook his head, saying, "We've tried our best. Although the bleeding has stopped, your daughter's condition is really not good."
Wei Yong's hands trembled upon hearing this. He took Doctor Cai's hand and said, "Tell me the truth. How confident are you that he can wake up?"
Doctor Cai looked at Wei Yong, then at Wei Yong's wife. His lips trembled for a moment before he uttered a few words, "I think I'm only about 20 to 30 percent sure."
With a cry, Wei Yong's wife fainted completely.
Wei Yong almost blacked out. He bit his tongue hard to stay awake, then grabbed Doctor Cai's hand tightly and said, "Can't you think of another way?"
Doctor Cai shook his head and said, "Your daughter has lost too much blood. Even if we were all-powerful doctors, there's no real solution right now, unless we possess magical powers."
Speaking of magic, Doctor Cai was suddenly stunned, then he couldn't help but glance at Wei Yong and said, "Master Wei, I do have a different method, but I'm afraid you don't like it."
"It's already like this, Doctor Cai, feel free to tell me whatever you want to say." Wei Yong's eyes turned red with anxiety.
Doctor Cai pondered for a long moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "For now, I'm afraid our only option is to seek help from Immortal Master Lu to save your daughter's life. After all, he possesses some immortal skills, and perhaps he can turn decay into something miraculous."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole yard fell silent. Everyone present knew that Wei Yong and Lu Chen did not get along well.
Some time ago, Wei Yong was still planning to kill Lu Chen.
Now you actually have to beg others for help. Let’s not even talk about whether they can come. How can you have the nerve to do such a thing and say such words?
Sure enough, after hearing this, Wei Yong looked embarrassed.
He has his own persistence. He keeps saying that others are superstitious, but when problems arise, he still goes to them for help.
It would be fine if the other party refused, but what if he really agreed?
From now on, I will owe him a huge favor. If that evil Taoist does something weird in the future, how can I come out and accuse him with a clear conscience?
Even Wei Yong himself did not realize that from the beginning to the end he had never considered whether Lu Chen could really cure his daughter.
Or perhaps he actually subconsciously thought that Lu Chen might really have a way.
At this time, Wei Yong's old wife slowly woke up, grabbed Wei Yong's hand and burst into tears, "Master, Cai'er is our only child! You are an official with integrity, but you can't abandon your own child! I beg you, please save your child. If anything happens to our daughter, I will not live anymore, and you will live alone in this world!"
As Wei Yong's wife spoke, she began to cry loudly, and Wei Yong's head was buzzing.
In the end, he could only sigh bitterly and said, "Forget it, forget it. I'll sacrifice my old face and beg him!"
