Chapter 352 Exposed
The old woman is blind, but her ears are very sensitive.
Hearing Wei Qingyan's words, she broke free from the scarred man's hand and followed Wei Qingyan's voice as he approached her, wanting to verify something.
He was going to play the whole game and was originally going to continue pretending to be unconscious and be carried back to the mansion by Shi Yu, but when the guard spoke, Wei Qingyan decided to wake up.
It is not ruled out that there are people with ulterior motives, but most of those who dare to come to the Prince's Mansion are those who really have something to do, or even those who are desperate.
No matter which dynasty, the people are the most difficult and in need of help. We should do our best to help as long as we can. This is the fat monk's teaching, and the fat monk also did so.
She should do so. Secretly, she also wants to help Shi Yu win the hearts of the people.
She patted Shi Yu's arm, signaling him to put her down, but Shi Yu seemed unaware.
Wei Qingyan had no choice but to let him hold her. Seeing the old lady break free from the scarred man's hand and stumble over, she took the initiative to say, "Judging from your face, your son is still alive, and your face shows that you have grandchildren."
"Grandchildren?" Aunt Wang was surprised, but couldn't believe it.
After waiting for so many years without any news, she actually guessed that her son had met with an accident, but she was unwilling to accept it, so she mustered up the courage to come here today.
Having grandchildren means that her son is not only alive, but also married and has children. This is something she has never dared to dream of in all these years. She hurriedly asked, "Is what the queen said true, or do you have pity on me, an old woman?"
Say this to coax me.
"Auntie Wang, please be careful with your words." The scarred man spoke again to stop her, pulling Auntie Wang to her knees. "Please forgive me, my dear friends. Auntie is really overjoyed."
He didn't know what the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess's temperaments were, but blocking the noble people's way was already disrespectful, and questioning their words was adding insult to injury.
If the nobles were unhappy, Aunt Wang would most likely lose her life.
Even if some noble people pretend to be tolerant and easy-going in front of others, they are very likely to retaliate in secret.
Wei Qingyan saw his anxious expression and couldn't help but glance at him again before replying, "That's the truth, but I can't tell you where they are right now or when they can be reunited with you."
"As long as he's alive, it's fine. It doesn't matter if we meet or not. Niu Wazi is filial, so he must have his reasons for not coming back."
After receiving Wei Qingyan's affirmative answer, Aunt Wang burst into tears, "Thank you, Fairy Goddess, thank you, Fairy Goddess."
Wei Qingyan gestured to Wu Qiu to help the old lady up, with a trace of pity in his eyes, because the old lady Wang was nearing the end of her life.
"Goddess of the Immortals, I am forty years old and still childless. Please help me read my face and tell me if I am destined to have a son."
A middle-aged man dressed in silk, seeing that Wei Qingyan was easy to talk to, also plucked up the courage to speak.
A commoner who knew the man spoke up, "Mr. Zhang, as long as you take in a few concubines, why worry about them not being able to give birth to your children?"
Mr. Zhang, however, glared at the man and said, "The Yue family has been very kind to me, and my wife and I have a close relationship since we were young. Please don't talk nonsense."
Wei Qingyan stared at him for a moment and said bluntly, "You already have children, and quite a few. Everything in this world has its cause and effect. I hope you will take care of yourself."
"Goddess of the Immortals, you...you..." Mr. Zhang's face flushed, "You can't allow that. My wife and I don't have any children."
"Mr. Zhang has only one wife at home. Madam Zhang is in poor health and has been childless for many years. Mr. Zhang has never had any concubines, so how could he possibly have a child? Did the Crown Princess make a mistake?"
"Yes, everyone living on our street knows that Mr. Zhang is completely devoted to his first wife. He even chased away any matchmaker who came to his house."
"It seems the Crown Princess's predictions were inaccurate. As for the matter of Aunt Wang's son..."
The people whispered.
Wei Qingyan looked at him and said, "When parents do good deeds, they bring blessings to their descendants. On the contrary, when parents do evil deeds, the retribution will sometimes fall on their descendants.
Judging from your face, you have recently experienced the pain of losing a child, but there is still a way to remedy the situation."
She didn't continue to talk about how to remedy the situation.
When Wei Qingyan told Zhang the good man that he had children, he felt a pang in his heart. No one knew that he had secretly kept a concubine and already had three sons and two daughters.
The eldest and second sons were both very talented in studying, but their backgrounds did not help them in the imperial examinations. In addition, he was fed up with his first wife, so he planned to increase the dosage of the medicine and let her die.
Then find a suitable time to welcome the concubine into the family, and then those children can be registered under his name as adopted sons and daughters.
But he was born in a poor family, and the only reason he could live a rich life today was because his wife and one daughter were the only ones in his wife's family. After his parents-in-law passed away, all the family property fell into their hands.
Over the years, he has played the role of a good man to the outside world, and has been deeply in love with his first wife. He has put in a lot of effort to achieve his current wealth.
I am worried that marrying a concubine in the future will be criticized and ruin the reputation I have built up over the years, so I am doing this scene today.
But he didn't expect that the Crown Princess would see through him at a glance. It wouldn't be a big deal if she saw through him, as people might not believe it. But the Crown Princess said that he would feel the pain of losing his son, so how could he not be afraid?
His Zhang family was dwindling, and those children were his dearest treasures. His face turned from red to white, and he asked tremblingly, "How can we make amends?"
Wei Qingyan just glanced at him.
Mr. Zhang felt that that glance seemed to see through all his dark thoughts. He thought of the tonic he ordered his servants to stew for his wife when he went out, and ran home.
Putting aside the question of whether there will be retribution or not, today he was so audacious as to use the Crown Princess to act out a trick, and even let her see through it. If the Crown Princess retaliates and reveals that he poisoned his wife... he will be completely finished.
The children's future is completely ruined.
Seeing what the great philanthropist Zhang did, everyone was confused and kept shouting, "Goddess of the Immortals, your divine predictions are amazing."
No one knew whether she was resentful or not, but the Crown Princess was very good at face reading, so several people rushed to speak.
Shi Yu listened to the situation and found that no one's life was at stake, so he said, "The Crown Princess is not feeling well right now and needs to see a doctor immediately. I will help you all with whatever you ask for once she recovers."
After all, he is still pretending to be sick. It’s not good to stay at the door all the time.
Those who were kneeling here all had something to ask of Wei Qingyan sincerely. After hearing this, they hurriedly made way.
After returning to the mansion, Wei Qingyan ordered the secret guards to follow Aunt Wang and Scarface. Scarface's concern for Aunt Wang made her a little suspicious. For some reason, she always felt that she should take care of this matter.
"Master, several scholars from Grand Secretary Cen have requested an audience. I have claimed that the Crown Princess is not feeling well and that you are not going to see them. Please send them back."
Jingzhe reported back.
Naturally, we have to mention why the Crown Princess left the palace in a coma and why University Student Cen and others came to visit.
It just so happened that the people had not left yet, so he wanted to let the people of Fengzhao know about the grievances suffered by his master.
There are some things that the master may not fight for, but he cannot let others take advantage of him.
Shi Yu and Wei Qingyan knew what he was thinking when they saw his eyes rolling. They looked at each other and let him go.
That night, the two men dressed in night clothes and went straight to the Lin family's ancestral tomb with several secret guards.
