Minister Wei Qin looked at his wife, a hint of helpless doting flashing in his eyes. He took her hand and looked at it, then took her hand in his and sat back in the chair with her.
"I was originally going to keep my appointment with Mr. Lu, but I ran into Mrs. Lu's carriage on the way. It looked like she was going to see Mr. Lu. I guess I can't have tea today, so I came straight back!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Wei couldn't help but say, "Speaking of which, Mr. Lu is also strange. I heard that since the New Year, he has been out and about every day, either going to restaurants or teahouses or studies. I even heard that he went out on the Lantern Festival and ran into a little girl."
"Master, do you think that Mr. Lu is planning to do something...bad now that he's about to retire?" Madam Wei asked her husband in a low voice.
Wei Qin glanced at Nanny Song.
When Nanny Song saw this, she immediately took the maids and servants out of the room.
Wei Qin then said to Madam Wei, "Mr. Lu is a man of integrity. What you imagine wouldn't happen. However, there is something amiss about this matter. I've also stumbled upon something that seems to be related to the Shen family."
"I know that Wanniang has always remembered the grace of Madam Shen who saved her life. Perhaps you can go and remind her, as a way to repay her life-saving grace."
"What's the matter? Tell me quickly." When Mrs. Wei heard this, she hurriedly moved closer and asked.
Wei Qin said softly, "It's about buying an official position."
Mrs. Wei was stunned.
Then she thought about it, wasn't it because of her man's future that Yang Zhao went to Pufo Temple with her?
Did she buy an official position?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but frowned, "Master, could it be that the official Shen Li was bought?"
But after saying this, she felt something was wrong.
This official position of Shen Li was conferred by the emperor. He couldn't have bought the position from the emperor!
"What on earth is going on?"
"Master, please stop playing dumb. If you said you could give me a reminder, then you definitely can. Just say it directly. Don't make me guess. I'm anxious."
Wei Qin laughed.
But he still told her some of the things he had observed in the past few days, and reminded her: "These are just some of my observations and guesses, so you can remind her. If it really involves the Shen family, you can also let Mrs. Shen be mentally prepared."
Mrs. Wei frowned after hearing this.
…
Yang Zhao didn't expect that Madam Wei would come.
He also brought a bunch of things to her house and moved them directly into her yard.
"It's all for you."
This was the first sentence she said when she saw her, which really made Yang Zhao laugh and cry.
But she also understood what she meant.
So she responded: "Then I won't be polite to Madam Wei. I will have someone put it into my private treasury later."
Upon hearing this, Madam Wei nodded with satisfaction.
Not too stupid at least!
But she couldn't help but say, "You're not in charge of the family now, so there's no need to confiscate some things. A woman should have her own private property in her hands, so that she can be confident."
This is what her mother taught her.
Yang Zhao smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll remember that."
Madam Wei opened her mouth to say something, but Nanny Song beside her gently tugged at her sleeve, forcing her to hold back her words.
"Are you feeling better?"
After Mrs. Wei sat down, she began to greet everyone politely.
She thought she would have to practice some complicated Tai Chi for a while before she could find a chance to tell them the purpose of her visit.
But Yang Zhao waved his hand and asked the maids to leave the room, and asked directly: "Madam Wei, there is no one else in the room, you can speak directly if you have anything to say."
Madam Wei was stunned.
But when she thought of the conversation in the carriage before, she couldn't help laughing.
This girl got up straight away...but she's much more ruthless than her.
Thinking of this, Madam Wei stopped beating around the bush and said directly, "I'm here just to remind you of something so that you can be mentally prepared."
Yang Zhao nodded: "You go ahead."
Madam Wei glanced at Nanny Song beside her, then leaned closer and lowered her voice, "Someone in your Shen family may be suspected of buying an official position."
Yang Zhao was slightly stunned.
Seeing Yang Zhao's reaction, Madam Wei thought she was shocked and hurriedly said, "The Shen family has just returned from exile, and their foundation is not strong enough. Although your husband has been appointed an official, if someone in the Shen family really bought an official position, it will definitely implicate you. Perhaps the emperor will be angry and the Shen family will be exiled again. Then you will be implicated as well."
"You should make some preparations early."
"It would be best to find out who bought the position before the matter is exposed and eliminate it at the source. This is the most permanent solution."
"However, now that your power as head of the family has been taken away from you, it's troublesome!"
Madam Wei frowned and sat up straight, stroking her chin in thought, as if trying to find a solution for her.
Yang Zhao couldn't help laughing when he saw it.
Upon hearing this, Madam Wei frowned and looked at her: "Are you still laughing? Do you know that this matter is very serious! Once the matter is discovered, your Shen family..."
"What if I tell you that I was the one who bought the official position?" Yang Zhao said to her with a smile.
Mrs. Wei was completely stunned.
Even Nanny Song beside her looked at Yang Zhao in surprise and shock.
"You, you bought an official position?" Mrs. Wei almost jumped up after she realized what was happening.
Yang Zhao couldn't help but deepen his smile as he watched Madam Wei's face change from surprise, astonishment, shock, and finally to disappointment.
Thinking of some things in my previous life.
She suddenly smiled and said, "Madam Wei, why don't I give your husband a big gift..."
Return to the Wei family.
Madam Wei went to find Wei Qin in the study. After hearing what she said and the notebook she gave him, Wei Qin was stunned! !
