Chapter 88 I'll teach him how
Wei Qingyan did not go directly to Yu Mansion.
She went to Gong's house.
After Yu Zhengde left the court, Gong Mingcheng invited him to the Gong family on the pretext of helping him find a teacher for Gong Jin.
Upon seeing Wei Qingyan, Yu Zhengde said directly, "His Majesty already knew that Concubine Li was alive. He wants us to find the eldest prince and princess, otherwise, he will take my daughter's life."
When he heard the news of the queen's death, he was so shocked that his legs went weak.
He had been in officialdom for many years and could understand things that ordinary people could not. Although the emperor had sent the queen to the cold palace on the charge of plotting to murder the royal heir,
But the death of the queen was a disguised way of giving the people an explanation in the Huangshaling incident. Liu He died, the queen died, and the public anger gradually subsided.
If it weren't for Wei Qingyan's advice, he would be the real culprit behind Huangshaling.
He was easily plotted against by the Queen and the Xie family, and was considered useless in the eyes of the Emperor. The Emperor would not protect such an incompetent person in order to fight against the Xie family.
So it was he who was reported dead at this moment.
Therefore, even though he could only be loyal to the emperor now, he had no intention of hiding it from Wei Qingyan.
"The emperor actually knew?"
This was beyond Wei Qingyan's expectations. The emperor actually allowed his woman to fake her death and leave, and even tolerated her giving birth to a child with another man, keeping it secret for many years.
Yu Zhengde frowned, "Li Shuyi has been running around. She used to write to me every once in a while to let me know she's safe. I really don't know where she is now."
Li Shuyi was the maiden name of Concubine Li.
Yu Zhengde has been very anxious these days, fearing that the emperor would question him and that the emperor would not wait any longer and would take action against his daughter.
I am even more afraid that something might happen if Li Shuyi returns to Beijing.
His words once again surprised Wei Qingyan, "What is she doing outside? And why did she leave Beijing in the first place?"
Li Shuyi was a young lady from an official family. She had no family to rely on and no skills to rely on. It was very difficult for her to go out, but she went out anyway.
"They say they're traveling merchants, but I don't know what they do specifically."
Yu Zhengde gnashed his teeth and said, "Not even two years after she gave birth to our daughter, she said she was unwilling to waste her time in the backyard of our Yu family and wanted to go out and see the world.
I thought she just wanted to go out and relax and see the scenery, so I agreed. But who would have thought that she would never come back, and apart from the occasional letter, she never came back home.
The word "home" made Wei Qingyan understand Yu Zhengde's feelings for Li Shuyi.
He didn't treat her as an ordinary concubine.
No wonder he loves Li Shuyi's daughter so much.
"You haven't seen each other since then?" Wei Qingyan was suspicious.
Yu Zhengde said, "I've met her twice. Once, I went to Jiangnan for something and she came to see me.
Once, when my daughter was ten years old, she wrote to me saying she missed her daughter and asked me to take her to Jiangnan so I could secretly see her.
"Master Yu, have you ever thought about why she didn't return to Beijing?"
"I've thought about it." Yu Zhengde had a complicated expression. "I asked her, but she just said that the capital is like a birdcage, and she feels suffocated and that it's better to be free outside.
I knew she was lying. We had feelings for each other before we entered the Eastern Palace. After leaving the Eastern Palace and spending those years in the mansion, I could see that she was happy.
He left so suddenly, probably because he was worried that his fake death would be discovered and bring trouble to the Yu family."
If he just escaped because of faking his death, why did he stay in Yu Mansion for several years before?
Wei Qingyan had a hunch that things were not that simple. "To be honest with you, sir, I have the same goal as the emperor. I came here today to get Li Shuyi back to the capital."
Before Yu Zhengde could speak, she continued, "Li Shuyi writes to you regularly, but she doesn't give you a reply address. This shows that she has been paying close attention to the situation in the mansion, so there is no need for you to write to her.
How could someone who cares about her children and home not want to go home just because she has freedom? There must be a reason why she can't go back.
But hiding like this is not the best solution. I think Lord Yu would not be able to bear to see her living alone in the future when she is old.
Furthermore, she was involved in that incident back then. If the Emperor really wants to find her, she won't be able to escape. Lord Yu, it's better for you to call her back as soon as possible."
"I don't know where she is." Yu Zhengde hesitated.
Wei Qingyan smiled lightly, "The third young lady is seriously ill. Lord Yu, please go around looking for a doctor for her. Li Shuyi is worried about his daughter and will definitely contact you."
How could Yu Zhengde not think of such a method? He just didn't want to make things difficult for Li Shuyi, and he was even more worried about letting her return to Beijing.
But now that things have come to this, Li Shuyi has no choice but to go back.
Seeing through his thoughts, Wei Qingyan said in frustration, "Okay."
Then, he asked, "Miss Chang, when will my uncle's resentment be resolved? Is my daughter really okay?"
"Letting her come back is also part of resolving the grudge. Once the grudge is resolved, the Third Miss will naturally recover. Even if Li Shuyi hides away, some things will eventually become hidden dangers for the Yu family. Why not eradicate them completely?"
Wei Qingyan could see that Yu Zhengde was not a bad person, but he didn't have much conscience. He only cared about the people he wanted to care about. If it was said that Li Shuyi came back for Lan Shu's child, he would definitely not cooperate.
He would only be willing to do it if it involved the Yu family.
But Wei Qingyan did not lie to her. After all, it was not a solution for Li Shuyi to hide.
She raised her eyes and looked at Yu Zhengde seriously, "Master Yu, remember, whenever something happens, a solution to her problem will also emerge. It all depends on how you do it."
The more you cover up a wound, the more it will fester. Only by facing it and treating it in time can it truly heal. The same applies to solving problems.
Yu Zhengde thought of the threat Liu He had posed to him. If he didn't act decisively and address it head-on, the consequences would be disastrous.
He finally made up his mind and said, "I will order people to invite doctors."
He and Li Shuyi had been husband and wife and had a child, so their relationship was inseparable. If anything happened to her, Yu Zhengde would also be implicated.
And now he is the only one behind her, so they should face it together.
As he thought this, he straightened his back and took bigger steps.
"Sister Chang." As soon as Yu Zhengde left, Gong Jin and Donggua poked their heads in from outside the door.
Wei Shiran, who appeared next, tapped her son on the head with a finger, "Mother has sworn brotherhood with Miss Chang. From now on, you have to call her Aunt."
"When did we become sworn brothers? How come I didn't know?" Gong Jin wailed like a playful child, "Mother, how could you get ahead of me? I was thinking of becoming sworn brothers with Sister Chang."
Wei Qingyan was amused by his behavior.
She didn't know when they became sworn brothers. It was probably the eldest sister who made the unilateral decision.
Wei Shiran ignored her youngest son and said to Wei Qingyan, "I heard that you have an aunt who is taking good care of you. When you are free, bring her to the house for a simple meal. I will thank her sincerely."
Wei Qingyan agreed and looked at Gong Jin, "Have you found a martial arts master?"
"I did find two, but this guy wasn't satisfied, saying they weren't as good as his previous master."
Wei Shiran sighed and said, "I think he's a little disappointing, but my former master was a capable secret guard for my father. People like him are hard to come by."
"Let me teach him." Wei Qingyan said with a smile.
Wei Shiran was stunned.
I didn't expect Wei Qingyan to take the initiative to take on this matter.
Qingyan's martial arts were taught by his father. If Gong Jin could learn from Qingyan, it would be the best, and it would also be a continuation of his father's martial arts.
Gong Jin had sharp ears and quicker reactions, and he immediately knelt down and said, "Disciple greets Master."
Wei Qingyan laughed, "You've never seen my abilities, yet you still worship me like this? Aren't you afraid that I'll mislead you?"
Gong Jin looked around, motioned Donggua to guard the door, and said mysteriously, "I had a dream. I dreamed of my aunt."
He emphasized the word "aunt".
