Chapter 380 Guilty Feelings
Upon hearing this, Ning Yirong immediately said, "Of course not. I genuinely think those who speak ill of you deserve to die. I feel like a tyrant whenever I hear them talking badly about you."
Sisi pinched Ning Yirong's cheek. "A man's words are deceitful."
Ning Yirong pinched Sisi's cheek. "If I were that kind of person, you wouldn't have married me. By the way, when the Duchess's coffin is brought back, are you going to pay your respects? I'm going."
His favorite thing to do was to offer incense to those who disliked his beloved ministers.
“Go. Duke Wei is both capable and loyal; we must give him face.”
“Then let’s go together. By the way, should we send someone to tell Wei Cheng’er that her grandmother has passed away, and see if she wants to come back to offer incense?”
Sisi glanced at Ning Yirong. "Ask the Duke of Wei if he needs your help to bring Wei Cheng'er back?"
Ning Yirong was a little disappointed. "Okay."
Thinking about it, Wei Cheng'er's parents also wanted her dead. "Why didn't you deal with Ning Shi and Wei Laoda? Ning Shi and Wei Laoda might use their status to pressure Wei Cheng'er."
"They didn't insult you."
"..." A man's mouth is a liar's mouth. "Tell the truth."
“Alright. First of all, they didn’t insult you. Secondly, I have to consider the Duke of Wei’s feelings; I can’t let him lose his wife, son, and daughter-in-law all at once. Finally, we parents can remove obstacles for our children, but we can’t let them have no trouble at all. How can they improve their ability to handle things without any trouble?”
Sisi tapped Ning Yirong's heart. "How many eyes does your heart have?"
Ning Yirong kissed Sisi. "If I weren't so cunning, would you be living such a carefree life?"
That's true. "Keep up the good work in the future."
"Understood!" Ning Yirong saluted Sisi.
On the other side, Wei Laoda and Wei Laoer, along with Ning Shi and Jia Shi, were on their way when they suddenly heard the sound of rapid hoofbeats from behind.
The eldest son of the Wei family wasn't curious at all; they were longing for the good old days. The Duke of Wei had not only banished them to the countryside, but had also assigned several people to supervise them, fearing they would become arrogant and domineering in the village.
They've lost everything, both inside and out.
Wei Laoda couldn't help but complain to Ning Shi. "How come you can't even take care of a child? If that child hadn't gotten sick, none of this would have happened."
Ning glanced at Wei the eldest. "If you had inherited your father's talent, there wouldn't be so much trouble."
Boss Wei instantly flew into a rage! "If you bring up my shortcomings again, I'll divorce you!"
Ning looked at Wei Laoda with a calm expression and said, "If you divorce me, I will expose everything about your family."
"You shameless woman!"
Just as Wei Laoda finished speaking, he heard someone shout loudly from behind: "Master, Second Master, please wait."
Wei Laoda immediately recognized the voice as coming from Zhang Erhu, who was standing next to his father. Wei Laoda swiftly pulled open the carriage curtain.
After pulling them apart, Boss Wei asked anxiously, "Did my father miss us and send you to chase us back?"
Wei Lao Er and Jia Shi also hurriedly pulled back the curtain.
Ning also looked at Zhang Erhu from Wei Laoda's shoulder.
Zhang Erhu: "..." Are the master's eyes just for decoration? Didn't he see that they all have white cloths tied around their waists?
Zhang Erhu jumped off his horse, carrying a bundle, and walked towards Boss Wei.
After arriving, Zhang Erhu held up the bundle. "Master, the old lady has passed away. The Duke sent me to fetch you; these are mourning clothes."
Only after hearing Wei Erhu's words did Wei Erhu and Wei Erhu notice that they had cloths tied around their waists.
Others had noticed it long ago, but it wasn't a good thing, so no one rushed to ask.
Wei Laoda didn't want to believe it. His father had already abandoned them, and if his mother died too, then... then they would have to stay in their hometown for the rest of their lives.
Wei Laoda jumped out of the car and grabbed Zhang Erhu's clothes. "You're lying! My mother won't die! She won't!"
Zhang Erhu handed the bundle to Boss Wei. "Please accept my condolences."
Wei Laoda wanted to get rid of the burden, thinking, "You must be lying to me." But Zhang Erhu would never joke about something like this.
Wei Laoda stumbled back to the carriage with his bundle.
Wei Lao Er got out of the car and looked at Zhang Er Hu, asking, "How did the old lady suddenly pass away?"
Zhang Erhu recounted what had happened.
"I understand, turn around."
"yes."
Jia also heard what Zhang Erhu said.
As soon as Wei Lao Er got back into the carriage, Jia Shi whispered, "Do you think Mother's incident was really an accident? Could it be that Father did something to her?"
As Wei Lao Er changed into his mourning clothes, he said, "Do you think everyone is like you, who likes to use underhanded tricks?"
"I did that for your sake. You're already the second son, and you're not valued much. If that little girl grows up, will your father still have a place for you?"
Wei Lao Er knew that Jia Shi was trying to comfort him. But since they had already reached this point, there was no need for infighting. "Let's change our clothes. Father isn't that kind of person; Mother's situation was just an accident."
Jia disagreed. "This is too much of a coincidence."
"What do you mean by 'accident'? I think you're just feeling guilty."
"Of course I feel guilty. I'm the daughter-in-law, not the son. Maybe I should pretend to be sick?"
"Isn't Father going to find another woman to manage the Duke's mansion? I reckon Father will take advantage of the time when the uncles are dividing up Mother's dowry, so that there won't be any misunderstandings later."
Upon hearing this, Jia Shi immediately stopped feigning illness. She had harmed that young maid mainly for the money. Her father-in-law was going to divide her mother-in-law's dowry; how could she be absent? What if her father-in-law didn't distribute it fairly? "Then I'd better go back. I'll be careful."
