Chapter 75 Let's Elop
It was almost the second watch, the time when people were sleeping.
At the back door of the Wei Mansion, Zhao Zhe and his servant Chongyang waited for an incense stick of time.
Chongyang was already showing his impatience and complained, "Sir, why don't we go back?"
The last time he tried to tarnish Jiang Yuzhu's reputation, he failed and his son was nearly beaten to death, making him feel very aggrieved.
After the incident, Wei Jing denied it and behaved extremely ruthlessly.
Now that the dust has settled, Wei Jing has been granted marriage to Jia Xinglin, and she even comes to meet his young master in private, which clearly shows that she wants to take advantage of him again.
On the other hand, the young master forgot the pain after his wound healed.
As a bystander, Chongyang saw it clearly.
Zhao Zhe said indifferently: "Chongyang, the last time it was your son's fault, what does it have to do with Miss Wei?"
Wei Jing only expressed her dissatisfaction with Jiang Yuzhu and didn't say anything else. Zhao Zhe was willing to do everything.
After recuperating for many days, Zhao Zhe couldn't wait to meet Wei Jing after receiving the news from the Wei Mansion.
There is a bluestone path inside the corner gate of the Wei Mansion, leading directly to the backyard.
The big locust tree in the corner is quite old, with lush branches and leaves that shade the courtyard, and a few lanterns hanging at the top.
The corners of the wall were covered with honeysuckle flowers, alternating between gold and silver.
At night, there was a sound of hurried footsteps.
It was dark all around, Zhao Zhe took a few steps forward to greet her: "Miss Wei?"
Wei Jing looked around and made a gesture to keep quiet.
She led Zhao Zhe under the locust tree and told two maids and Zhao Zhe's servant Chongyang to wait aside.
When Zhao Zhe came under the tree, he felt his body filled up and his nose was filled with fragrance.
"Miss Wei...Miss Wei?"
Zhao Zhe was dumbfounded. He had liked Wei Jing for several years but had not yet married, just waiting for the day when he could marry Wei Jing.
Unexpectedly, this day never came, and Wei Jing was married to Jia Xinglin.
That scumbag!
Zhao Zhe was filled with hatred. He felt the softness in his arms, which he treated as a treasure and was very careful not to touch.
Wei Jing has lost a lot of weight, and she looks even slimmer in the white dress she wears at night.
Her eyes were moist, and she sniffed and said, "Brother Zhao, I brought some valuables, let's elope!"
"elopement?"
Zhao Zhe was shocked and could hardly believe it.
Wei Jing nodded and said firmly: "Yes, elope."
The emperor's decree granting the marriage has come down, and Wei Jing will marry Jia Xinglin after he finishes his mourning period.
Who in Beijing doesn’t know who Jia Xinglin is?
"There are more women being played with in the Duke's Mansion than in the Wei Mansion. If I marry there, how can I survive?"
Wei Jing hugged Zhao Zhe's waist. She had never been so proactive before.
Nothing can be accomplished without giving Zhao Zhe some sweet treats.
After all, even though Duke Mao is gone, the noble family has not fallen.
Her father, Prime Minister Wei, is busy fighting with the Jiang family and has suffered repeated losses, so this marriage has to be arranged by Wei Jing herself.
With no available manpower around her, Wei Jing thought of Zhao Zhe who was loyal to her.
Sometimes Wei Jing also wondered why Zhao Zhe was not Xie Zhao?
Yes, no one can compare to Xie Zhao.
Right now, Wei Jing needs to sort out the marriage before she can take the next step.
Shen said that as long as Shen was alive, she would never be allowed to enter the house. But what if she was dead?
Wei Jing curled her lips into a bloodthirsty smile. No one could stop her determination to marry Xie Zhao.
"Brother Zhao, let's elope. Take me with you and let's go far away from the capital!"
Wei Jing buried her head in Zhao Zhe's arms, imagining Zhao Zhe as Xie Zhao, which made her feel less disgusted.
Her tone was very soft, and Zhao Zhe felt extremely distressed.
"Jing'er, have you ever thought about this? The whole world belongs to the king. Where can you and I escape to?"
How did Prime Minister Wei deal with himself after eloping?
Zhao Zhe had the idea of eloping, but they still had parents and relatives to take care of, and the Zhao and Wei families could not afford to pay for their impulsiveness.
Wei Jing was very satisfied. It was exactly what she had imagined.
Zhao Zhe thought, did she really want to elope? It was just a temporary solution.
Wei Jing just kept crying, Zhao Zhe hugged her and said, "Wait for me for a while, I will find a way for you."
Wei Jing didn't answer. After a long while, she said quietly, "Brother Zhao, I was blind before. You are the only one who is sincere to me!"
After leaving the Wei family, Zhao Zhe was somewhat excited.
Chongyang advised again: "Young Master, calm down and don't have any delusions!"
Zhao Zhe represents the Zhao family. If he does something out of line, the whole family will be in trouble.
It’s obvious that Wei Jing is not a person who is easy to deal with. She keeps talking about eloping, and Chongyang doesn’t believe that she dares to do that!
"Miss Wei looked down on Madam Xie, saying that Madam Xie disregarded the rules of propriety, but she secretly met with a man in the middle of the night and hugged him. Does that mean she knows the rules?"
Chongyang gave many examples, hoping that the young master would be more sober.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhe was extremely hypocritical: "That's because Jing'er had no choice but to express her true feelings."
If the relationship between a man and a woman starts with love but ends with courtesy, it only means that the relationship is not there yet.
As long as there is deep affection and one just wants to follow one's heart, how can reason control it?
Zhao Zhe was determined to help Wei Jing get rid of Jia Xinglin, and he came up with a brilliant idea.
By the fourth month of the lunar calendar, the weather in the capital was getting hotter.
The empress dowager fell ill after craving for cool air. After she recovered, she wanted to relax in the palace outside the capital.
The emperor was filial, so he simply led all the civil and military officials and their families to stay in the palace for a few days and handle government affairs there.
This time, noble families were also invited.
It was a hot day and Jiang Yuzhu was feeling listless as she followed Qiao Ying and Yu Jiaojiao to admire the flowers in the peony garden.
The three of them gathered together and talked about the incident of Miss Zhang committing suicide.
Qiao Ying specifically asked, "Yuzhu, why did I hear that Ye Daya took the initiative to leave the marriage?"
Ye Daya admitted that it was her fault. She used the family accident to scare Zhang Wanyi intentionally, just because she grew up in the countryside and was jealous of Zhang Wanyi's good life.
Yu Jiaojiao sneered: "No one told her, a country girl, to have such a strategy. Do you believe this?"
After Ye Daya got married, she lived in a separate courtyard. Although her life was not as good as before, it was not too bad either.
Wei Jing, the mastermind behind this, has been busy bribing people to whitewash herself recently. Right now, there are two conflicting voices in the capital that are arguing endlessly.
I think the noise will die down a bit once the whole class continues the show.
Jiang Yuzhu smiled and said, "Doesn't the Wei family claim to be noble? Where did they get so much money?"
The Wei family definitely has a group of ancient navy. These people are hiding in the streets and alleys and are very good at setting the pace.
The fact that the entire troupe started the show quickly did meet the expectations of drama fans, but from the perspective of speculation on theater tickets, it was not a good time.
Jiang Yuzhu wants to speak up for Zhang Wanyi, but she also needs to make money!
These days, Zhang Hanlin and Zhang Zhonggang moved to the Jiang Mansion. Jiang Yuzhu plans to observe the performance of the father and son for a while before making any decisions.
"Oh, it's really Mrs. Xie."
Jia Xinglin suddenly leaned out from behind the flowers, scaring Qiao Ying into screaming.
The peony garden of the palace was so large that the three sisters were separated from the other ladies without realizing it.
"Mrs. Xie, I wonder if you have ever read a pornographic book..."
Jia Xinglin ignored Qiao Ying and Yu Jiaojiao, staring at Jiang Yuzhu with his bright eyes, feeling his body getting hot.
