Chapter 350: Acting Couple
"If you want to accuse someone of something, you can always find a pretext. Why should I prove anything to you?"
Wei Qingyan's tone was still gentle, but there was a hint of sharpness in his eyes, "There is cause and effect in this world. Those who do evil will eventually suffer the consequences. Retribution may be delayed, but it will come!
This life of mine was hard-earned, and I fear retribution."
She smiled and said, "Oh right, there's one thing I forgot to tell you. If the resentment is not resolved in time, it will bring disaster to your family.
Whether it is illness, death, bad luck, or the decline of a family, everyone in this world has cause and effect, and every word and action is recorded in the book of merit.
"The Crown Princess' words are really misleading." University student Cen, who does not believe in ghosts and gods, said dissatisfiedly.
Wei Qingyan's eyes were slightly dim, "I see that your forehead is blue and there is a black aura on your head. I'm afraid that things have not been going well recently and there have been many disasters.
"Sir, please consider whether anyone in your family has passed away recently, and whether they may have had any lingering obsessions before their death."
Scholar Cen was stunned. It was true that an old concubine in his family had passed away some time ago.
When the servants were sorting out the old concubine's belongings, they discovered that the old concubine had hidden a lot of love poems. The problem was that the handwriting on the poems was not his.
He never wrote any love poems to his aunt.
When the old wife found out, she insisted that the old concubine was restless and that the illegitimate son she gave birth to was not from the Cen family. She wanted to drive the illegitimate son out of the house, causing chaos in the family.
Because of this, he hadn't had a good night's sleep for several days.
In addition, he couldn't help but doubt whether the illegitimate son was his child. He was worried and didn't get enough rest, so his spirits were naturally bad.
The Crown Princess must have noticed this, which is why she pretended to be a charlatan, but he was strict with himself and refused to lie.
He then said, "I have behaved uprightly and done things right. I have never harmed anyone. Even if it is as the Crown Princess said, if there is any resentment in the world, it cannot be blamed on me."
"That doesn't mean he did something bad."
Shi Yu, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly said, "Everyone has desires in their hearts. Some get them, some don't. If those who don't get them become too persistent, it becomes an obsession.
After death, resentment is manifested. Although resentment is unconscious, it persists in the regrets of life. This stubborn resentment can harm family members and, in serious cases, destroy the entire family. Of course, this is not their intention.
That doesn't mean that only evil deeds will bring retribution. In addition, Shi Yu spoke slowly and leisurely, which seemed somewhat friendly. Liao Xiaohua, the Minister of Works, boldly asked, "Is it true?"
Shi Yu smiled, "Of course it's true."
"Then could you please ask the Crown Princess to help me? Ever since my second brother passed away a year ago, first my mother fell ill, and then my children's marriages were hindered.
And my eldest son hasn't been feeling well lately."
In fact, it was not just that. The healthy child suddenly became demented, so he had no choice but to lock him in the yard and told others that he was sick.
He also dreamed that his father said the house collapsed. Not long after, people from his hometown sent him a letter saying that his father's grave had collapsed. Everything at home was going wrong. His wife cried until her tears almost dried up. She even invited a Taoist priest, but the situation did not improve.
The Crown Princess just realized that there was something wrong with Grand Secretary Cen, but Grand Secretary Cen refused to admit it. However, his family was separated from the Cen family by a wall, and it just so happened that his attendant and the servants of Grand Secretary Cen's family were relatives.
He knew about the affairs of the Cen family. Miss Fu had been dead for decades, but she was able to seek justice through the Crown Princess. He didn't need to go into the details, but the Crown Princess must have some abilities.
The world is so big, and there are so many strange and bizarre things. Why wouldn't he believe it? If the Crown Princess could help their family solve the current difficulties, it would be a great thing.
The most important thing is that the prince's words about the whole family being destroyed are too scary, and he dare not take the risk.
The other civil and military officials might have the same idea as him, but they were unwilling to say it in public due to face. If they went to find the Crown Princess privately, he would have to take the back seat.
But he was afraid that people would speculate wildly, so he explained, "Princess, I have never done anything bad."
When Wei Qingyan opened her mouth, she looked at him and nodded, "Okay, I'll go and take a look at you when I have time.
But I have said before that I am just a half-baked person. If your family really has a grudge, it must come to me, and then I can try to resolve the grudge for your family.
If I can't help you in the end, I hope you won't blame me."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at the Queen inconspicuously. For some reason, she felt that the Queen's purpose in letting her enter the palace today was to explore her attainments in the mystical arts.
The Queen had previously tested Shi Yu and asked Xiao Zhian why she cared so much about her proficiency in the mysterious arts.
Is he really worried that she will use mystical magic to help Shi Yu seize power, or is there another reason? Could it be that she is the Venerable? If she is the Venerable, then who is the Living Dead?
But no matter what the queen thinks, she will not easily let others know her cards. Let the queen guess for herself whether they are real or fake.
"I am extremely grateful that the Crown Princess is willing to go and I dare not blame you." Liao Xiaohua waved her hands repeatedly.
Wei Qingyan glanced at the black air above his head, took a breath, and looked very tired.
Seeing that she was so sick and weak, yet still responded to everyone politely, Grand Secretary Cen's opinion of her changed a lot.
He was a little shaken in his heart, so he didn't say anything more, so as not to offend anyone. If something really happened in the future, he would not have the nerve to ask others for help. He could not believe in ghosts and gods, but he could not implicate his family.
Many of his ministers shared the same idea as him, and their expressions became more polite.
Although everyone says that they don't believe in ghosts and gods, how many people in the world are actually not afraid of ghosts and gods? If that were true, why would we have to hold various sacrifices every year?
Still refutation, "According to what the Crown Princess said, Liang Fuzhu died so tragically, she must be filled with resentment and has brought disaster to her entire family.
But Liang Yongan and Yuepin have lived peacefully for over twenty years. If the Crown Princess hadn't intervened, they would probably still be fine. Doesn't this contradict what the Crown Princess said earlier?"
"Liang Fuzhu has never been a grudge. As for the reason, I don't know. I have to say that I am a half-baked person."
Wei Qingyan looked at him, "But if she appears in your dream again next time, I can ask her for you."
This person was the one who had previously suspected Wei Qingyan of harboring ill intentions towards Feng Zhao. Seeing that he had failed to stump Wei Qingyan, he continued, "Does the Crown Princess truly not know, or is she pretending not to know? If she truly doesn't know, then I suspect that the incident of the ghost possessing her yesterday was actually a trick played by the Crown Princess."
Wei Qingyan propped up her head with her hands, looking extremely uncomfortable. "I lost consciousness at the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion yesterday and have lost all my memories. If the Crown Prince hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that I was possessed by Liang Fuzhu.
If you have such doubts, I will not refute you, but I have a word of warning: as a human being, it is better to have some respect for life and not kill it at will.
Now you are full of resentment. If you don't repent, you will probably go to the gates of hell soon."
"Is the Crown Princess threatening me, or is she going to take action against me because of what happened today?"
Wei Qingyan leaned back in his chair, completely lazily, and uttered only two words, "disease and disaster."
Then he looked at the Queen and said, "Qingyan is unusually tired. I wonder if Your Majesty has any other questions. If Qingyan can answer, please do so. If not, please allow Qingyan to return home and rest, okay?"
The queen sat high on the dragon throne and saw all of this. She summoned Wei Qingyan into the palace not to spread resentment, nor to win people's hearts.
Now she pretends to be weak to show how harsh she is as a mother-in-law. What a good trick.
Just as the Queen was about to try to make amends, she saw Wei Qingyan slumped in the chair and fainted.
"Xiao Yan."
Shi Yu exclaimed, holding the person in his arms distressedly, looking at the Queen with a sad expression, "Your Majesty, do you really dislike Qingyan, or do you dislike your son?
If Your Majesty is not pleased, I can take my wife away today to save Your Majesty the trouble. I cannot bear to see my wife suffer injustice again and again in Fengzhao because of me."
He held Wei Qingyan in his arms and leaned slightly towards the Queen, "Take care, Your Majesty."
