Qiao Liu dodged quickly, but his robe was still stained with water. He said in disgust, "Wei Er, why are you so careless about cleanliness? It's so dirty!"

"Sorry, sorry, I couldn't help it." Wei Junhang wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief and said slowly, "According to what you said, this Madam Xu is indeed a courageous and extraordinary woman."

Qiao Liu was somewhat incredulous: "Aren't you afraid that if your sister-in-law stays with her for too long, in the future..."

Having said this, he first looked at the other person's crotch, then raised his hand and made a cutting motion.

Wei Junhang kicked him away and said, "Get lost. My wife is well-educated, gentle and virtuous. Besides, it was her husband who was at fault for what Madam Xu did. It's a mercy to spare his life."

"Besides..." He stroked his smooth chin, his face thoughtful, "My wife is really too gentle. I've always been worried about her good temper. What will she do if I die before her in the future?"

"That's great. Follow Madam Xu and learn her courageous methods. Then, even when I'm gone in the future, she won't have to worry about anyone bullying her!" Later, he looked even more relieved.

Qiao Liu's eyes widened, staring at him as if he had seen a ghost: "Wei, Wei Second Brother, you are not joking, are you?"

"Who has the time to joke with you!" Wei Junhang said unhappily.

"I won't tell you anymore. I've been out for so long, I should go back. If I come back late, the little girl will not kiss me again!"

Instead of talking nonsense here, he might as well go back and tease his sweet little girl. Last time he came home late, the little girl was so angry that she refused to let him hold her! This time he brought her a small gift, and the little girl probably wouldn't hold a grudge anymore.

Qiao Liu looked at him with disdain as he walked away. After a long moment, he stroked his forehead and sighed.

What kind of people are these!

However, it is said that Shen Xinyan told Wei Junhang about what happened in her shop that night. However, because it involved her mother's family, it was a bit difficult to talk about it, so she took Liang away vaguely.

Wei Junhang was not a fool. He figured it out after a little thought. This was also a family scandal of the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion. As a son-in-law, it might not be appropriate for him to come forward. Upon hearing this, he said, "I will listen to my wife. I will also ask people to take care of the government office."

Seeing how sensible he was, Shen Xinyan felt both grateful and ashamed.

The sister-in-law from her natal family stole her dowry money. Even an idle woman would not be able to tell others about such things. Her natal family is the support of a woman throughout her life, but now her support has suddenly become a spear stabbing her. No matter how she talks about it, she is embarrassed.

Now Wei Junhang didn't ask any more questions, but fully supported her decision. This consideration and trust made her feel at ease.

With gratitude in her heart, she threw aside her previous reserve that night and took the initiative to cater to him, which almost drove Wei Junhang crazy. He tossed her over and over again until late at night, when the clouds cleared and the rain stopped, and the two of them, exhausted, fell into a deep sleep.

A few days later, Wei Junhang suddenly remembered the matter again and summoned his trusted attendant to ask about it. He learned that his wife had sent the treasury keeper to the government office. He held his chin and thought for a while, then ordered: "Think of a way to make the treasury keeper keep his mouth shut. I don't want him to say anything that would bring disrepute to the Duke of Lang's Mansion."

The Jing'an Marquis's Mansion has a bad reputation, and the lady will be unhappy. If the lady is unhappy, he will be unhappy. In this case, he must cut off this possibility from the root.

The man took the order and left.

Wei Junhang patted his robe and wanted to go to the main room to talk to his wife, but suddenly he remembered that his wife had returned to the Earl's Mansion today, so he turned and headed towards the martial arts training ground.

At this time, Lin Ge'er and Lin Fu should be practicing in the martial arts field.

As expected, from a distance, I could see Wei Chenglin dancing with a sword on the field. Looking to the other side, I saw another small figure doing a horse stance. It was Lin Fu, who was just learning martial arts.

He was in a very good mood and asked the maid to bring some tea and snacks. He sat aside, sipping tea and eating snacks while watching his son's heroic appearance.

"Good, good dancing! You are worthy of being my son!" Seeing Wei Chenglin retracting his sword, he could no longer hold back his cheers.

This was the scene that the Duke of England saw when he arrived - his unlearned son was standing with his legs crossed and putting snacks into his mouth, his grandson was practicing the sword skills that he had personally taught him not far away, and even the child named Linfu was doing the horse stance seriously.

Looking at the whole place, only the figure who was leisurely sipping tea and snacks made his teeth itch.

He took a few deep breaths and tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart. This idiot had no other skills except making his mother smile. He looked so carefree, not like a descendant of the Wei family at all. He was really...

Don't be angry, don't be angry. It's been so many years, if you were going to be angry, you should have been angry enough by now.

"Grandfather!" Wei Chenglin was the first to notice him and hurried forward to greet him.

Lin Fu also saw it, and wanted to come over to pay his respects, but he stood on his short legs for too long, and the moment he moved, he sat down on the ground with a bang, and was unable to get up for a long time.

Wei Junhang was startled by his son calling him "grandfather" and hurriedly put away the snacks without noticing Lin Fu's embarrassing situation.

"Father."

The Duke of England glared at him, but in the end he still wanted to save some face for him and didn't want to lecture him in front of his grandson. He just said, "Come with me. I have something to ask you."

Wei Junhang agreed, walked forward and pushed his heavy wooden wheelchair back to the study.

"I wonder what my father wants to ask?" After carefully covering the blanket on the Duke of England's legs and pouring him a cup of warm water and placing it on the small round table beside him, Wei Junhang asked cautiously.

The Duke of England looked at him, then took the warm water and took a few sips.

Perhaps this kid can add another advantage, which is that he is considerate. It's a pity that he still remembers to drink only warm water after self-harming for so many years, and not to drink tea or wine. He is so considerate and can make his mother happy. It would be better if he was a girl, but he is such a bad boy!

But the annoyance in my heart was finally dispelled by my son's thoughtful gesture.

"I heard that His Majesty already knew about your mistress. So, could it be that His Majesty is helping you hide it?" The Duke of England asked slowly.

Wei Junhang was very angry, but he didn't show it on the surface. He scratched his ears and said embarrassedly, "I was indeed caught by my cousin the emperor who was out incognito that day."

He couldn't help but think of the blame he had taken for that man, and changed the subject, continuing, "But my cousin the emperor said that a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a mistress. Although having a mistress is not a glorious thing, it is not a big deal either. It's just a small mistake that every man in the world will make."

The Duke of England frowned and asked, "Did His Majesty really say that?"

"Of course. He is the emperor. How dare I slander him?" Wei Junhang looked innocent.

"Your Majesty, what you said is really wrong! A real man should be upright and honest. He should marry a wife if he wants and take a concubine if he wants. It is not the behavior of a real man to secretly have a mistress outside. Where does it put the wife at home?" The Duke of England disagreed with him. After thinking about it, he was still a little worried and ordered, "Mo Mo, I want to write a memorial to explain this to Your Majesty."

"Okay, I'll get it ready right away!" Wei Junhang was so happy that he ran to the desk and started grinding ink.

His master is a man who, once he has made up his mind, will not stop until you understand clearly that he has accepted it.

When Emperor Yuanyou was still an unloved prince, he was somewhat afraid of his uncle's nagging. The shadow of childhood would not disappear so easily, and even now as an emperor, he still couldn't resist it.

Later, the Duke of Ying wrote three memorials to argue with Emperor Yuanyou, which made Emperor Yuanyou very annoyed, but he could not do anything about him. He was even more furious with Wei Junhang who diverted the disaster to the east.

Only then did Wei Junhang feel a little relieved.

***

Shen Xinyan did not give Liang a chance to catch her breath. After escorting the money keeper to the government office, she took Qiutang back to the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion that day.

Everyone in the mansion was a little surprised by her sudden return, but no one said much, and Liang could not guess the purpose of her return.

"But what's the matter?" After all, they are siblings from the same mother. Jing'an Bo noticed that her expression was strange and asked in a low voice.

Shen Xinyan did not answer him, but said to the couples of the second and third rooms: "I have something to say to my eldest brother and his wife..."

The couples in the two rooms immediately stood up and said goodbye.

Seeing this, Liang Shi felt a little uneasy for some reason. She forced a smile and said, "What's going on? Could it be that the prince has someone else outside again? Are you thinking of asking your family to help you?"

After thinking about it, I guess this is the only possibility.

A while ago, the news that the Prince of England had a mistress was widely spread, until the Prince's wife personally came forward and had the mistress carried into the palace.

Shen Xinyan ignored her, took the re-copied account book from Qiutang, and handed it to Jing'an Earl in person: "Brother, this book records the silver that my sister-in-law has taken from my shop over the years. I have also made detailed records of where some of the silver went."

Jing'an Bo's face changed, and he turned back to look at his wife in disbelief. Seeing her pale face, his heart skipped a beat, and he knew that what his sister said was true.

His wife actually colluded with outsiders to steal money from her sister's wedding shop.

"What nonsense are you talking about, sister? Although we are a family, you can't say such things casually." Liang insisted, but her eyes were always on the account book in Jing'an Earl's hand. She found that the book was quite new and her mind was immediately determined.

"I don't know how I have offended my sister to let her slander me like this. If it has been all these years, how come this account book is so new, as if it was just written."

"Sister-in-law, you are right. I had someone rewrite the book in your hand. I still have the original copy. Sister-in-law, don't rush to deny it. I dare to directly expose this matter today because I have sufficient evidence!"

"Evil woman!!" In the other room, Marquis Jing'an flipped through the book with his hands shaking. The more he read, the more shocked and angry he became. Finally, he couldn't help but raised his hand and slapped Liang hard, knocking her to the ground.

"Not only did you steal the money from Xin Yan's shop, you even used it to lend money at a loan shark. Who gave you the guts to do that?!"

This is what made him most angry. Stealing his sister-in-law's money was an unforgivable crime, but she had the audacity to lend her money at high interest rates for several years, and the amount she lent was truly shocking.

If this were to be discovered, it would be a catastrophic disaster for the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion!

Shen Xinyan looked at the scene in front of her with indifference. If she hadn't personally asked someone to investigate, she probably wouldn't have known that her sister-in-law was so bold. The only thing to be thankful for was that the money manager didn't know that she had lent money at interest. Otherwise, if he had shouted like that in court...

This is the end of the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion!
