Chapter 11: Serpentine Heart
Wei Qingyan did not accept the banknotes. He handed the damaged carriage of the Du Mansion to Dongzang for disposal, and took A Lu and Xiao Xiao to get on the carriage of Prince Rong's Mansion.
She has known Dongzang for many years. He is calm and steady in his work. He can cut the reins of the crazy horse in the first time to prevent the carriage of Prince Rong's mansion from being dragged down by the crazy horse, and he can also kill the crazy horse in time.
But he only took action when Crazy Horse was charging towards them.
The seal of merit is still on Shi Yu, and Wei Qingyan has no reason to refuse this opportunity.
She looked at A Lu who was standing outside the carriage, hesitating to move forward.
How could A Lu dare to sit with Prince Rong? He hesitated whether to sit in the carriage with Jingzhe. When he met Wei Qingyan's intense gaze, he gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and got into the spacious carriage.
For some reason, he felt that the young lady's aura was even greater than that of the marquis.
Wei Qingyan watched the situation unfold quietly, while Shi Yu felt guilty and remained silent throughout the journey in the carriage.
When they arrived at the Anyuan Marquis's residence, Wei Qingyan stood up and prepared to get off the car. Shi Yufang said, "Thank you so much for saving my life at the hot spring that day. I will come to thank you again some other day."
Because I didn't recognize her before, I thought she was sent by the palace.
Wei Qingyan raised his eyebrows slightly, and a faint arc appeared at the corner of his lips. "Buddha said, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. My prince, please don't repay kindness with hatred."
Shi Yu smiled helplessly, "There won't be a next time."
She didn't say that she had seen through Dongzang's trick, so he just thought she was saying that Wenquan pushed her into the water.
Wei Qingyan's eyes swept across Shi Yu's slightly swollen lips, he lowered his eyes and nodded in thanks, then got off the carriage holding Xiaoxiao.
Shi Yu will look for her again. He did this not just to send her back home.
Watching Wei Qingyan and the other two enter the Marquis' Mansion, Jingzhe hurriedly threw the reins to the driver, got into the carriage, and whispered, "Master, we finally have a chance to spend time together, why don't you talk to General Wei?"
Shi Yu didn’t explain how many mistakes he made, and warned, “You and Dong Zang should remember that she is Miss Chang now.”
"Why?" Jingzhe spoke faster than his heart thought.
There was a hint of darkness in Shi Yu's eyes. "Being a general is too hard."
Upon hearing this, Jingzhe's face became more solemn, "Don't worry, Master. Jingzhe will remember this."
General Wei has been burdened since he was young. At the age of twelve, he followed General Wei to the battlefield. At the age of fifteen, he took on the responsibility of leading a 100,000-strong national defense army. He had to conquer the veteran generals in the army and deal with the cunning tactics of the court. Needless to say, it was difficult.
In the end, he died in such a tragic way. If the prince had not left his army behind and rushed there in advance, General Wei's body would have been hard to find. And it was a girl who had to endure all this.
Even though he was a royal guard, he still felt heartbroken when he thought of that scene.
It would be better if I didn't become a general, Jingzhe sighed in his heart, and then he heard Shi Yu say again, "Don't use tricks like today again."
Judging from what I said, General Wei, have you figured it out?
Yes, General Wei has been smart since he was young.
Fearing that Dongzang would be punished, Jingzhe couldn't help but explain for him, "Master, you've never pursued a girl before. Dongzang has no experience for the first time, so please forgive him this time."
Shi Yu closed his eyes and rested, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.
Seeing this, Jingzhe felt relieved and quietly got out of the carriage.
On this side, as Wei Qingyan entered the mansion, he saw Lvliu coming hurriedly with several maids.
Seeing her, he hurriedly said, "The old lady has woken up, let you go over."
Wei Qingyan's eyes moved slightly, "When did you wake up?"
"I don't know." Lu Liu said, "You'd better go quickly. When the old lady woke up and heard that your cousin had been beaten by you, she got very angry."
They also said that Miss Chang was not their daughter at all and wanted to kick her out.
She had wanted to curry favor with her before. What's the use of the Marquis recognizing her? The old lady is the most powerful in the mansion. Filial piety is the obligation, so the Marquis has to listen to the old lady.
But frightened by Wei Qingyan's ferocity in beating people, he didn't dare to say anything too harsh.
Wei Qingyan ignored Lvliu's thoughts and handed Xiaoxiao, who was still unconscious, to A Lu, "Take good care of her."
He gestured to Lvliu to lead the way and headed towards the old lady's yard.
I saw that the black air outside was much lighter than before. I didn't expect Fang to be so kind.
When Du Xueyi knew the truth and Xiaoxiao was treated kindly, her ghost resentment mostly dissipated. Once the resentment weakened, Mrs. Du, who was haunted by the ghost resentment, would slowly recover.
"Where did this wild girl come from? How dare she pretend to be a young lady from the Du family?" As Wei Qingyan stepped into the house, a teacup was thrown at her.
Madam Du glared at her angrily.
When she woke up, there was no one serving her by her bed. She called the servants outside and found out that the servants serving her had been beaten by Du Xueyi and could not get up.
But she couldn't even find out the reason. She only knew that an impostor had come to the house and beat Yu'er.
The world is in chaos.
How could she not be angry?
The old lady's strength was not strong, so Wei Qingyan dodged it without a hurry. He walked to the old lady's bedside and stood there. "Why do you conclude that I'm not a member of the Du family?"
"You are not." The old lady said with certainty.
So sure?
Wei Qingyan's eyes deepened, and a thought came to his mind, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, but it's indeed my granddaughter who has returned."
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Du's face trembled.
"The old lady should know exactly what I mean. It is said that the old lady of Anyuan Marquis's Mansion is the most charitable."
Wei Qingyan leaned close to her ear and whispered something.
"Who would have thought that he was such a vicious person who secretly sold his granddaughter to a brothel?"
Wei Qingyan's words made Madam Du's hair stand on end, and her face changed drastically. "Stop talking nonsense, you are not my granddaughter at all."
That girl entered a brothel at the age of three and was tortured by such an environment. How could she have such a sharp and cold aura as the man in front of her?
Besides, I saw her portrait a few years ago. She looked frail and might have died a long time ago.
But how could this person know what happened back then? Old Madam Du thought about the conversation between the two carefully in her mind and was shocked. She was not aware that she had been tricked.
What a smart woman, luckily she didn't admit it.
At the same time, he felt relieved that the woman was not an insider.
Old Madam Du looked Wei Qingyan up and down. Although she had a good demeanor, she could tell at a glance that the woman in front of her was definitely not a daughter of aristocratic family.
Looks more like a wanderer.
She pretended to be that girl and stayed in the Marquis' Mansion, probably because she was greedy for the mansion's glory and wanted a good identity.
Thinking of this, Madam Du put on the dignity of an elder and said, "Well, since you say you are a child of my Du family, you should know how to respect the elders.
You hurt Yu'er and instigated Xueyi to do something wrong, making the mansion a mess. Once these things get out, how much impact will it have on the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion? If the Marquis' Mansion is not doing well, what good can you get?
Now quickly send the people in my courtyard back and invite the doctor into the house..."
Yu'er needs treatment, and she needs a doctor as soon as she wakes up.
First, keep her calm. As long as she recovers, with the support of filial piety, Xue Yi will not be able to escape from her control. Then there will be plenty of ways to punish this impostor.
Madam Du had a good idea, but Wei Qingyan was too lazy to listen to her nagging and raised his hand to knock the person unconscious.
Du Xueyi found his sister in a brothel.
As soon as Mrs. Du saw her, she concluded without any doubt that she was not the real Miss Du.
In addition to what she had done to Fang, Wei Qingyan decided to test her.
Now that the result is known, we can just leave the person to Du Xueyi to deal with.
However, the Du family was not prosperous to begin with, and Miss Du was the only granddaughter of Old Lady Du. She harmed Fang for money, so why did she harm Miss Du?
