Chapter 366 The Venerable
When the story of Lin Guozhang's father-in-law reached the Queen, she was so angry that she smashed another set of teacups.
Lady Xia was happy in her heart, but she looked worried as she said, "Your Majesty, please don't get too angry and make yourself sick."
How could the Queen not be angry?
After Father-in-law Lin made such a fuss, how could she arrange a marriage for Lin Lanting?
"Father is truly reckless in his fight against me. Like a shrew, he's even throwing away his reputation. He's truly a very kind person."
Lady Xia said cautiously, "Your Majesty, according to the father-in-law, if the case isn't solved within three days, they won't be able to propose marriage. If I can find a way to delay the Jingzhao prefect's investigation, can I prevent this marriage?"
She didn't want to marry Lin Lanting, who was abandoned by the Queen, but she also didn't want to marry Wei Shijun. In addition to sharing the Queen's worries, she also didn't want the man she liked to marry another woman.
As long as the engagement is not made within three days, she will be able to find a way to ruin the marriage later. Since Father-in-law Lin said that Lin Lanting is destined to be a lonely star, then he will be a lonely star until his death.
The Queen said, "It's useless."
Her father, who could even make up nonsense about life and the lonely star today, would definitely be able to justify himself in three days and come up with another excuse to carry the betrothal gifts to the Prince's Mansion.
Is Wei Shijun really that good? Or is her father, like Lan Ting, hoping to gain Shi Yu's support through this marriage?
The Queen thought for a moment and then ordered, "Send a message to the Imperial Observatory and have them choose an auspicious day. When the old Zongzheng returns, they will change the prince's name to Shang Yudie and offer sacrifices to the ancestors."
Lady Xia quickly responded.
With this decree, Grand Secretary Cen and his men will not force the Empress.
only……
"My Lady, would you please send someone to stop the old Patriarch?"
If the old Zongzheng died, it would not be the Empress's problem. It would take some time to select a new Zongzheng. The court was treacherous and things were changing every day. Who knew what the Crown Prince would look like tomorrow.
The Queen turned to look at her, her eyes cold. "I don't need brainless trash around me. You'd better get your brain back."
Even that idiot Qingwu knew to go pick up Zong Zheng. She and Shi Yu and his mother had already gotten to this point. If something happened to the old Zong Zheng again, no matter whether she did it or not, the world would think it was her.
Therefore, at this time, not only could she not take action against the old clan leader, she also had to send people to welcome the old clan leader back to the city with great fanfare.
"I deserve to die." Lady Xia knelt down hurriedly.
A trace of disgust flashed across the queen's eyes. "Get out."
After the door closed, the queen walked to the bookshelf, took out a bone whistle from a porcelain bottle and blew it. A moment later, a dark figure knelt in front of her.
The queen threw a wax ball on the ground.
When the black shadow saw the wax pill, his face turned pale, but he quickly picked up the wax pill, squeezed it open, and swallowed the medicine inside into his mouth.
After a while, he curled up on the ground, veins bulging on his forehead, his whole body trembling with pain, and blood oozing from his mouth.
The Queen looked at him coldly, "Are you convinced?"
"I was careless and allowed the gravekeeper's body to be easily discovered. I deserve to be punished."
Although this matter was done by his subordinates, the negligence of his subordinates was his negligence, and he dared not quibble.
The pain lasted for about an incense stick. When the black shadow was about to lose consciousness due to the pain, the queen threw him another pill. The black shadow swallowed it hurriedly, and the pain of broken bones and torn skin slowly disappeared.
"If it happens again, you will have to report to Yama Palace yourself."
The shadow lowered his head, "Yes."
"The Great Wei's Protector General seems to be even more powerful than I imagined. My adopted son is no pushover either."
The queen lazily sat down in the armchair, supporting her head with her hands. "This is difficult."
There was no trace of distress on her face, but instead a hint of a smile, "It's rare that Feng Zhao is lively again, so I will play with the children.
You must keep a close eye on what's going on over there and don't let them suspect me. As for Shi Dehou, let him support me.
I will save his life for a reward. If he dares to die without repaying me, I will make his soul scatter and turn into ashes."
No one knew what was happening in the palace. The children the queen was talking about were listening to the old nanny from the Lin family say to Wei Shijun, "Miss Wei, my master asked me to come here and explain to you that what he said outside was all nonsense. My general is not some lonely star, so please don't take it seriously.
The master did this because he was worried that someone would force someone on the general, destroying your relationship and causing you trouble."
When Wei Shijun heard those words, she thought of Lin Guozhang's intention. In addition, it was just a fake marriage, so she didn't think too much about it. But she didn't expect that he would specially send someone to explain.
Suddenly I remembered what the old father-in-law said when proposing marriage: If anyone bullies you in the future, tell me and I will help you deal with him.
It was fulfilled so quickly. Wei Shijun said sincerely, "Thank the father-in-law for me. Shijun won't think too much about it."
Upon hearing this, the old nanny's face lit up with a smile, "My master said that the engagement date will be as we agreed with the Crown Prince before, and he will come to visit in three days. There will be no changes."
Wei Shijun responded with a yes.
The old lady gave him a lot of praise and auspicious words, and the wrinkles on her face were still there when she left.
Wei Qingyan pulled Shi Yu out from behind the screen, glanced at the many gifts brought by the old nanny, and said with a smile, "My third sister is just so likable."
Whatever the old father-in-law did when he was the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, he was clearly blocking the Queen's way of granting her marriage.
Perhaps he didn't want the Queen to place someone in the Lin family, but he couldn't deny that he wanted to protect his third sister, his future daughter-in-law.
This is extremely rare.
Shi Yu nodded, agreeing with his wife.
Wei Shijun looked at the two of them, smiling helplessly and a little shyly.
The two were about to go out, but when they heard that someone from the Lin family had arrived, they hid behind the screen like children and eavesdropped.
Qingyan is a girl, so it's okay for her to be curious about gossip, but Shiyu is a man who looks serious, but he is also like this. Just like his elder brother-in-law, he obeys his wife.
Wei Shijun showed disdain on her face, but was happy for Wei Qingyan in her heart. Shi Yu was willing to accompany her in this way, and it was just out of love.
As she pushed the two of them out of the house and closed the door, an idea suddenly popped into her mind.
Will Lin Lanting become like this after getting married?
But the thought was fleeting and she shook her head. Their marriage was fake, unlike Qingyan and Shi Yu.
She doesn't deserve it!
Wei Qingyan didn't know that Wei Shijun was suddenly in a low mood. She and Shi Yu left Wei Shijun's yard, and then she took Shi Yu and teleported out of the Prince's Mansion and went to the house in the city.
Liang Fuzhu had already woken up and had been kept in the porcelain bottle for two days. Wei Qingyan also gave her some merits. Now her remaining soul has recovered a lot, and it is time to send her away.
When the two arrived at the house, the old marquis, the old lady and Liang Fusu had already arrived. Naturally, the porcelain bottle containing Liang Fuzhu was also brought over in advance by the secret guards.
"Crown Princess, are you okay?"
After greeting, the old lady asked.
Wei Qingyan smiled, "Thank you, Madam, for your concern. I feel much better now."
Seeing that the old lady's health had improved a lot, she stopped being polite and took out a dead branch of locust tree from her sleeve and handed it to Liang Fuzhu, who was already very excited.
Liang Fuzhu is a remnant soul, not resentment. The remnant soul is yin, and the locust tree is also yin, which can be touched by the remnant soul. Liang Fuzhu can control the dead branches of the locust tree to dip them in water and write on the table, saying what she wants to say.
Wei Qingyan's current ability can make Liang Fuzhu appear for a moment, but Liang Fuzhu is unwilling to do so. She does not want her relatives to see her as a ghost.
Farewell is always sad, and she doesn't want her relatives to see her crying.
Words began to appear on the dry tabletop, "Grandfather, Grandma, Brother, Zhuzhu is so happy to see you again.
Zhuzhu is fine, and will be even better in her future reincarnation, so don't worry..."
From the moment the words appeared, the old lady began to sob, and the two men, young and old, from the Liang family also had tears in their eyes.
But this opportunity to say goodbye is precious, and neither side is willing to waste time. The living speak and the dead write to communicate.
Wei Qingyan sent some golden light of merit into the bodies of the three people to prevent them from being harmed by the evil spirit of the residual soul. Then he and Shi Yu walked out of the door, leaving the opportunity of reunion to the Liang family.
An incense stick later, it was time to send Liang Fuzhu away, but Wei Qingyan's face suddenly changed, "There's resentment being eaten away nearby, it must be Shi Dehou appearing."
