Her words broke the serious atmosphere and left everyone feeling both amused and exasperated.
Xiao Yue'er said, word by word, "Isn't that right? If the Empress had been more ruthless back then, there probably wouldn't be so many troubles now."
Her words made a lot of sense, but they still made Wei Wei's heart tremble uncontrollably.
If the Empress had been a little more ruthless, perhaps the Seventh Prince, who was covered in scars and suffered endless torment since childhood, would never have been born.
She used to not understand what kind of family could turn their own child into that, but when she learned that Jiang Yu was a prince, she understood everything.
Even if the Empress is kind, she would not raise other people's children.
If you can survive, then live; if you can't, then die. It's all fate.
Jiang Yu really died in some unknown corner, how tragic would that be?
Wei Wei felt suffocated even just thinking about it.
Just now, under the cart, when he looked at me, the unease in his eyes was unmistakable; it was an apology for hiding everything from me.
She knew that if Jiang Yu hadn't arrived in time, she might not have died, but she wouldn't have survived unharmed.
How could I blame him?
As long as he explains everything to her properly, she can accept it completely.
She had already made up her mind when she came.
Besides trying every means to take revenge, he also wanted to find out more about Jiang Yu's background.
He was willing to stay with her forever, and she would never let him down.
——
After washing up, Wei Wei did not go to sleep.
Since Jiang Yu has already told her to wait, he will come to find her.
The courtyard was extremely quiet. After a day of anxiety, everyone slept more soundly than usual.
When Wei Wei went out, she did not disturb Xiao Yue'er and Xiao Qiao'er.
Leng Pusheng, however, was still awake. He was sitting on the crooked tree in the courtyard, looking at the dark sky, lost in thought.
I was quite surprised to see Wei Wei go out.
He jumped down from the tree and asked in a low voice, "Miss Wei, is there anything I can help you with?"
Wei Wei shook her head: "Same as you, can't sleep."
She asked again, "Are you worried about your mother?"
"Once we've established ourselves in the capital, we'll have her come to the capital with my parents."
Leng Pusheng nodded: "Thank you, Miss Wei, for still thinking of my mother."
"I was just wondering who those people were tonight."
"He keeps talking about Su Shou Tang, but I've never seen him before."
Wei Wei smiled and said, "It's just a way of shifting the blame."
"The people behind them deliberately said this, thinking that they could not only kill the Third Prince, but also frame Su Shou Tang, which would kill two birds with one stone."
"If they succeed, the court will no longer have to worry about anyone; if they fail, they will not suffer any loss."
Leng Pusheng shook his head: "I don't understand these intricacies."
After saying that, he looked at Wei Wei and asked, "Miss Wei, don't you have any questions for me?"
Wei Wei shook her head: "Let Young Master Wang say it himself."
She also wanted to see if he would tell her everything and trust her.
Leng Pusheng remained silent.
After a while, his eyebrows and eyes twitched.
There was already a person standing outside the courtyard.
This time, he didn't wear the same fancy clothes as before, but instead wore flowing white robes, just like in Loucheng, and once again became that dashing young master.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door, his voice strangely low and hoarse: "May I come in?"
Wei Wei remained silent for a moment before letting out a soft sigh: "Come in."
Upon hearing her words, Jiang Yu's expression softened unconsciously, and a faint sense of guilt rose in his eyes.
When he pushed the door open and came in, Leng Pusheng also silently climbed over the wall and temporarily left.
Let them have a good chat.
The outcome is up to fate.
There was a wooden bench under the crooked tree.
It looks quite old, but Xiaoqiao cleaned it very well.
Wei Wei sat down, then looked at Jiang Yu, who was standing motionless at the door, her voice revealing neither joy nor anger: "Come and sit with us."
Jiang Yu was very obedient, and took a step forward to sit down next to Wei Wei like a dutiful wife.
His aura was very low, making Wei Wei completely unaware of the shock he had brought in the previous two hours, which made people dare not let their guard down.
It's hard to imagine that the person she met twice before, who exuded an aura as imposing as a mountain, would act like a cat in front of her.
Even before she said anything, her heart had already softened involuntarily.
What do you want to say?
She asked the question without looking at him.
Jiang Yu's gaze remained fixed on her face.
Her beautiful face showed no anger; she didn't seem as angry as one might expect.
But she wasn't looking at herself, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Her eyelashes blinked, as if they were about to fall into his heart.
Jiang Yu suddenly became somewhat reserved, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry."
"I didn't mean to lie to you, but I really didn't know how to explain the situation to you at the time."
He looked at her and said, "I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, I might upset you and you'll never want to see me again."
These words reminded Wei Wei of that time at Chunfeng Tower.
She was secretly watching him when their eyes suddenly met.
That time, she was almost scared out of her wits.
Looking back now, it does have flaws.
Jiang Yu has beautiful eyes, how come I didn't notice them back then?
Thinking this way, the anger that lingered in my heart disappeared, and a faint smile appeared in my eyes.
At that time, I was indeed afraid, afraid that I would lose my life due to carelessness before I could take revenge.
However, her lips soon fell down.
She couldn't laugh. If she forgave him so easily, what if he lied to her again in the future?
Thinking of this, she turned to look at him, her voice somewhat indifferent: "I didn't know how to say it before, so how come you dare to show up in front of me tonight?"
Jiang Yu touched his nose, feeling slightly guilty: "Leng Pusheng couldn't go to you in front of those people, for fear of being discovered and losing your life. He had no choice but to ask me for help."
"At the time, I couldn't think of any other way, so I hurriedly went to see my fifth brother."
He was still a little scared when he said that.
If I had arrived a moment later, what would have happened to her if she had fallen into that big man's hands? How much suffering would she have endured?
Even just thinking about it makes me feel suffocated.
His gaze lingered on Wei Wei, almost unable to look away.
Fortunately, thankfully, everything was still in time.
Wei Wei, however, wouldn't let him off the hook. Instead, she deliberately added, "Isn't your fifth brother just about to come over?"
"Perhaps he'll save me."
In this situation, it's absolutely necessary to give Jiang Yu a hard time.
