Chapter 279: Evil Son Jing Wei
After a period of sweet and easy days, Cui Qingyi couldn't wait to pack her luggage and rush to Luhua Town.
Jing Wei stood at the entrance of the village head's residence, with the heroic and confident Snowball standing on his shoulder. He looked at Cui Qingyi with a smile in his eyes: "You really don't need me to accompany you?"
Seeing the man straddling his long legs, as if he really intended to accompany her to Luhua Town, Cui Qingyi quickly extended her hand to refuse: "Don't bother, a good man has ambitions. You should go out and do business."
Jing Wei took the opportunity to grab Cui Qingyi's hand and said shamelessly: "I am a man who married into the wife's family. Shouldn't my wife support me?"
Cui Qingyi was really impressed, and she pulled out her hand and told Jingjiu to drive the carriage quickly.
After marrying Jing Wei, she felt as if she was the native ancient person. This man's extroversion was a bit scary, so she had to go out and hide quickly.
Seeing Cui Qingyi's carriage disappear in a flash, the smile on Jing Wei's lips did not fade away.
In fact, it was time for him to go out. At this time of year in previous years, his caravan would have already wandered half a circle in the north. Even if he got married, he would not really stay in Dongping County forever. Besides, there were people in the capital waiting for him to deal with. Otherwise, he really wanted to go to Luhua Town with his wife.
On the afternoon that Cui Qingyi left, Jing Wei and his men rode at full speed to the capital.
Maybe it's because he has been paralyzed in bed for too long, or maybe he finally realized that there is no possibility of recovery, Jing Chao's temper has become worse and worse recently.
It was common for him to go on a hunger strike and smash things, but in the huge Beijing mansion, apart from the housekeeper and a few servants, no one cared about what he wanted to do.
You throw things, right? As soon as you throw something, someone else will immediately replace it with the same thing.
Hunger strike was easier to solve, because Jing Chao didn't have the determination to starve himself to death. After just one day, he couldn't stand it anymore and started to want to eat and drink.
The people who stayed in Jingwei really looked down on this old marquis. It was said that he earned this title in the war, which made them even more disdainful. Who would believe that such a person was actually a general with outstanding military achievements?
Jing Wei took his men back to the capital, and immediately invited a famous doctor in the capital to see Jing Chao.
Jing Chao looked at his eldest son with a crooked mouth, breathing heavily in his throat. He was taken care of quite carefully and now he speaks much more fluently.
But what he said was all things that Jing Wei didn't want to hear.
The doctor said a lot, saying that recovery was impossible, but as long as he was well taken care of, his life was guaranteed. Jing Wei then waved his hand and asked everyone to leave.
For the first time in his life, he sat calmly in front of Jing Chao and talked to him like a real son.
"I'm married."
"Huff, huff..." Jing Chao's breathing suddenly became rapid and his eyes widened, but because of his hemiplegia, the more excited he was, the more unable to speak.
Jing Wei continued, "Do you know why you can no longer give birth to a son?"
"Ah, huff, cough, cough..."
Jing Chao's eyes were bloodshot, and he stretched out his movable arm to reach Jing Wei's sleeve.
Jing Wei turned a blind eye. When the other's twitching fingers were about to touch his sleeve, he gently moved back and said, "Don't touch it. This is made by my wife. She doesn't like needlework. I begged for this for a long time."
"You deceived a young girl's heart in the Northland and promised her a lifetime of love. Anyone who breaks his promise will be punished more cruelly than death. Father, your punishment is the extinction of your descendants!
My mother completed the first half, and now I am completing the second half for her."
Jing Chao seemed to understand something. A strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he tapped Jing Wei like a chicken claw.
That means I still have you, and it’s impossible for me to have no descendants.
Jing Wei understood what he meant and smiled unexpectedly, seeming to be very happy. "As for me, that won't work. My wife is kind-hearted, but I'm a son-in-law, so the child will naturally take my wife's surname."
These words took Jing Chao a long time to react. After a while, a fishy and sweet taste suddenly surged into his throat. He couldn't breathe and his eyeballs popped out.
Jing Wei looked at it for a while, then walked out with boredom.
Sometimes he also found it ridiculous that Jing Chao, such an extremely selfish person, would actually care about having no successor.
What really made Jing Chao lose his temper was that Jing Wei submitted a memorial to His Majesty in the name of Jing Chao, earnestly asking His Majesty to revoke the title of General Weiyuan.
Apart from some achievements he made when he was guarding the north in his early years, Jing Chao had no outstanding political achievements that could catch the attention of His Majesty after returning to the capital. Since he submitted the memorial with such sincere words, His Majesty did not bother to care whether there was any hidden story behind it and approved it directly without going through any procedures.
Jing Wei went to see Jing Chao again with a happy look on his face, holding the approved memorial. He patiently repeated to Jing Chao the memorial he had written in Jing Chao's tone.
Jing Chao was still harboring illusions, thinking that His Majesty would not agree to such a request, but the next second Jing Wei personally unfolded the memorial with the imperial calligraphy and the word "yes" written on it in front of Jing Chao.
"Dad, the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion that you've worked so hard to manage your entire life no longer exists today. I'm sure you're as happy as I am."
Jing Chao was not happy at all. It felt like there was a fire burning in his chest, making his eyes bloodshot and he wished he could eat the evil boy in front of him alive.
Jing Chao's funeral was extremely simple, and he was buried less than a day after the body was kept. Some people thought that Jing Chao's death was strange, and people in the Jing family insisted on coming to see the body and asking a coroner to perform an autopsy, saying that Jing Wei had killed him.
But Jing Wei was open and honest. He wanted to perform an autopsy, so he opened the door and personally invited people from the Dali Temple in. He answered every question during the process without hiding anything.
Zhuoyan brought his men to go through the motions and then left. He could solve the case, but could that be the same as this one?
Laozi died of hemiplegia in bed. There was no sign of abuse or beating on his body. The housekeeper and servants who carefully served him examined him and found nothing unusual. Even a few days before Jingchao's death, a doctor came to see him.
There is no doubt about Jing Chao's death.
After the body was buried, the people of the Jing family discovered that all the houses in Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion had been sold. Jing Wei personally removed the door plaque and burned it down, then left with his men.
The people from the Jing family didn't even touch a single hair of the horse's tail.
Since that day, Jing Wei, the eldest son of the Jing family, disappeared completely once again. Without someone standing in the spotlight, the Jing family gradually withdrew from the circle of power in the capital.
Decades of business would not vanish in the blink of an eye, but the story of the Jing family has awakened many powerful families to the fact that neglecting one's duties is the source of chaos in a family.
The officials were so shrewd that they could not understand that the Weiyuan General's Mansion would no longer exist. It was retribution for Jing Chao, and Yan had given birth to a good son.
