Upon hearing that his granddaughter was frightened, Wei Ping asked for details with a serious face.
Li Yue refused to tell him, but as his biological grandfather, couldn't he ask his son about it?
Wei Heng naturally did not hide his thoughts from his father. When faced with her mother-in-law's questions, Jiang told her the whole truth that she had just learned from her daughter.
Only then did Wei Ping and Liu realize that there was a concubine's daughter in the family who was involved in this matter.
Wei Ping had no impression of this illegitimate granddaughter whom he almost sent to be a concubine. However, Liu was the mistress of the harem after all, and she knew Wei Hansu a little better than he did.
Upon hearing this, Liu's face changed immediately. She wanted to bring the man in for interrogation, but after hearing that the man had already been dealt with by the prince, she gave up.
But even so, she was still angry. She looked at Er'er with a cold face and asked, "Does your concubine know about this?"
In Liu's impression, this illegitimate granddaughter was a submissive and cowardly person. Naturally, she would not believe that such a person would dare to commit the serious mistake of poisoning her legitimate sister.
The first thing that came to the mind of the marquis' wife, who had been immersed in the inner palace all her life, was the dispute between wives and concubines.
Fortunately, it did not succeed, otherwise if something really happened to Ran Ran, it would not just be the Anguo Mansion that had its entire family arrested and imprisoned.
His Wei family will definitely bear the brunt and will not get away with it!
Wei Heng paused for a moment after hearing his mother's words. He said, "Mrs. Shen was not with them and should not be aware of this matter."
He was not protecting his concubine, but telling the truth.
Liu was about to say something, but Wei Ping raised his hand to stop her. His face darkened as he said, "Whether she knows about it or not, she can't stay."
As he spoke, he called his personal attendant and ordered, "Wei Liang, you go there in person and send her off, so that the mother and daughter can have company."
Wei Heng lowered his eyes and said nothing. On the contrary, Jiang's expression changed and she said, "Why do we need to take her life? Shen has served us for many years and has done us great service. It would be better to send her back to the manor and forget about it."
"Woman's kindness!" Wei Ping rarely talked to the women in the backyard. If Jiang dared to question his decision in front of everyone, he would have been scolded. But now, considering that she was the mother of the noble daughter of the Wei family, he scolded her coldly and said patiently, "Do you want to cause trouble again?"
The Crown Prince ordered that the true cause of Wei Hansu's death remain secret. Except for a few people, everyone, including her biological mother Shen, only knew that she died of illness.
Her daughter was sick at home, but she was not allowed to see her until she died. In the end, she couldn't even see her body. Would Shen think that someone else had killed her daughter?
...The Wei Mansion must not allow any more trouble to occur.
Since she could give birth to a daughter who committed such a serious mistake, Shen must not be a good person.
Wei Ping made the decision, and even Wei Heng, the actual head of the Weiguo Mansion, did not object. After Jiang was reprimanded, she did not say anything more.
But his eyes unconsciously turned to Wei Heng beside him, and his heart inexplicably felt a chill.
She could still think of Shen's many years of thoughtful service and could not bear to see her die. However, her husband, who had always been gentle, ignored the life and death of this concubine with whom he had two sons and a daughter and had countless sexual pleasures, and acquiesced to his father's execution.
Shen is old and ugly now, but she was also glorious in her past. She was a concubine who brought a child with her and gave birth to all of Wei Heng's illegitimate children in the years that followed. It can be seen how much she was loved.
Jiang felt a little cold in his heart.
Although she is the mistress, she feels grief-stricken because of her husband's attitude towards his concubine.
She couldn't help but wonder, if something happened to her children today, and her existence became a stumbling block to the development of the Wei family, would her husband also let his father decide his fate?
Jiang didn't say anything. Wei Heng noticed that something was wrong with his wife, but he couldn't ask in front of his parents and brothers. After hearing what his father said, he smiled and said, "Father, you worry too much. With your highness's concern for Ran Ran, there must be an imperial physician who will take care of him personally."
Throughout the dynasty, there were a few doctors whose medical skills were better than those of the imperial physician.
Wei Ping stroked his beard and smiled, feeling very happy that his granddaughter was favored. Even the Crown Prince Wei Huan's face began to smile again.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became harmonious and joyful.
…………
Wei Hanzhang learned the news of the original heroine's death from Jiang on the second day.
Hearing this, he stopped fanning himself and said in a daze, "How could this be?"
I knew the original storyline was a mess, but I didn't expect it to be so messed up. The heroine died...
Jiang Shi did not hide anything from her and told her everything that happened yesterday. She sighed and said, "It was only yesterday that I found out that your father was so cruel."
This is the person who has been by his side for twenty years of marriage. Even though the relationship between the couple has been a little awkward recently, Wei Heng is a little cold towards his wife, and even puts pressure on her from time to time, but he has never been angry.
He never even raised his voice, and he was always gentle and good-tempered.
result……
Wei Hanzhang also thought of Jiang's fate in the original novel, and frowned. What was the difference between her mother and Shen? One survived, was divorced and lived out the rest of her life in the ancestral temple, and the other died.
In the original novel, it is very likely that Wei Ping asked his son to make Shen his legitimate wife in order to elevate the status of the new emperor's biological mother. He could definitely do it.
Even with his cruelty, how could he be willing to give Jiang a letter of divorce when the Jiang family had already fallen? Wouldn't it be better to send her off with a cup of poisoned wine?
After all, divorcing a mistress who had been married for many years and had done nothing wrong would always lead to gossip.
It is suspected of flattering the royal family.
Although he did so, he would certainly find ways to maintain his appearance.
However, in the end, Jiang still took the divorce letter and entered the family temple with Wei Hanyue.
...How did Wei Heng convince Wei Ping to change his mind? Perhaps this was the best outcome Wei Heng could get for his wife and daughter?
After Wei Hanzhang thought about it, he felt that Jiang in the original novel was too miserable. Her natal family fell, her eldest daughter lost her chastity and entered the family temple, her eldest son fell into the water and died, and he had to make room for his concubine. At the same time, he felt that Wei Heng was also in a difficult situation under the suppression of such a father.
Wei Heng in the original novel was not the current Duke of Wei. He was just the second son of the marquisate. He had parents and an elder brother above him. As a minor official of the fifth rank, how could he protect his wife when faced with major family events?
Only at this moment did Wei Hanzhang feel that he had finally understood the original work.
The original heroine, Shen, and her daughter are both dead. Has Jiang's ending also been changed?
Where is her younger brother Wei Yunpei?
...Will he fall into the water and die? (End of this chapter)
