Upon hearing this, both Wei Jing and Hua Cui were stunned.
The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. The two looked at Jiang Mingwei in disbelief.
After a long while, Hua Cui cautiously stepped forward and placed her hand on Jiang Mingwei's forehead.
With a worried expression, she whispered, "Miss, do you know what you're saying? Are you still not well-rested?"
Jiang Mingwei reluctantly lowered her hand, her face full of worry.
"Don't worry about me, I'm perfectly fine. I'm telling the truth, don't you believe me? Wei Zhi isn't dead, he's still alive, and this Dharani Incense has a great connection to him!"
Hua Cui wanted to say something, but Wei Jing raised his hand to interrupt her.
He stared intently at Jiang Mingwei, his eyes serious, and hurriedly pressed for an answer.
"After meeting your sister-in-law on the street that day, you mentioned your brother's name. Why are you mentioning it again now?"
"My brother has already sacrificed himself on the battlefield, I saw it with my own eyes! What is the reason for your question, sister-in-law?"
"How do you think your brother is still alive? If he were still alive, why wouldn't he return to the manor? How could he be involved with Tuoluoxiang! Please, sister-in-law, don't speak recklessly; he is, after all, your husband!"
Wei Jing spoke sharply and coldly, his eyes filled with malice, and he spoke aggressively.
Clearly, he was unwilling to believe what Jiang Mingwei said.
He was even more unwilling to believe that his trusted brother was still alive and connected to the incense he hated most.
Therefore, he subconsciously wanted to refute all of this.
They wanted to prove that everything Jiang Mingwei said was wrong!
She must have misheard, misread, and misunderstood.
Wei Zhi couldn't possibly still be alive, absolutely not...
Jiang Mingwei was slightly stunned, looking at Wei Jing in shock, as if she couldn't believe that he would speak to her like that.
This was completely unexpected for her...
I thought that spending these days together had already built up their trust in each other.
"What do you mean by that? Are you questioning me, doubting that everything I've told you is a lie? Wei Jing, you're really something. I escaped death and finally returned to the General's Mansion. Even before I fainted, I had to tell you to be careful of Wei Zhi."
"He is by no means an ordinary person, nor is he as gentle and easygoing as you imagine. No one can pretend to be perfect in every way. Think about it carefully. In all the years you've known him, has he truly always been humble and gentle, and has he ever done anything wrong?"
Jiang Mingwei reached out and gripped the blanket tightly, looking at Wei Jing with disappointment in her eyes, and said in a cold voice.
She had thought that Wei Jing might be shocked by what she said, but she did not expect him to refute her so eagerly!
Is he unwilling to admit what he's afraid of?
Does denying something mean it never happened?
Especially after she said those words...
Wei Jing lowered his eyes, concealing the guilt in them. He had clearly thought of something, but dared not say it aloud.
During the years that Wei Zhi spent with him, there must have been times when he slipped up, and Wei Jing discovered it.
But because he always worshipped his elder brother and regarded him as a god, he subconsciously ignored the bad things his brother had done!
But when others mention it, he can't help but remember it...
Jiang Mingwei figured it out.
What is this? This is what happens when you've been subjected to PUA (Pick-Up Artist) tactics too much and it's become a habit!
Seeing Wei Jing's lowered eyes and dazed expression, Jiang Mingwei coldly turned her gaze away, concealing the weariness and disappointment in her eyes.
"Your silence suggests you're thinking about the inappropriate things he did. Why don't you think about it carefully again? Why did he die right in front of you? Wasn't it to cover things up?"
"You've never seen his body, so how can you be sure he's really dead?"
Subsequently, after being arrested, Jiang Mingwei told Wei Jing everything she knew about the spice shop and the incense.
When they learned that the incense was made from the blood of young women, he and Hua Cui were shocked and turned pale.
Hua Cui quickly covered her mouth and looked at Jiang Mingwei in horror.
I can't imagine what would have happened if the young lady hadn't escaped, or if that man in black had really decided to turn her into incense. In that case... she would have truly lost her!
"Sister-in-law, are you saying... this incense is made with human blood?"
Wei Jing asked in disbelief, muttering a question.
Jiang Mingwei nodded, "That's right. Who would say they haven't seen me for years, and who would recognize me? It's not that I'm trying to smear Wei Zhi, but that guy is just too strange!"
"No matter how you see me, I only know that I believe what I see with my own eyes! If you had been there, you would have thought it was him too."
Wei Jing remained silent, his heart surging with unprecedented panic and fear.
Indeed, he was somewhat afraid to believe that the man in black was Wei Zhi...
But after Jiang Mingwei said that, he couldn't help but have doubts.
What if that person is the older brother?
Others may not know, but surely he did, did he not know that Wei Zhi had used tara incense on those soldiers?
If Jiang Mingwei knew about this, perhaps she did it on purpose, but she just doesn't know anything!
Therefore, Jiang Mingwei's words are naturally more credible.
Wei Jing felt increasingly terrified, unable to imagine that his elder brother Ling could be so cruel and callous to human life.
How could such a virtuous and upright elder brother be a traitor who wanted to harm the people of Nanjing?
He was born and raised in Nanjing, and he should be considered one of them!
But now, everything has exceeded their expectations.
Everything started to go wrong.
What exactly caused this predicament?
“I will keep what my sister-in-law said in mind and will investigate. But as for my brother’s matter, I still believe that he did nothing wrong because he is a very good person.”
“If it weren’t for his protection back then, I might not have survived, so I trust his character, but I will also investigate him carefully.”
"I hope this is all just a misunderstanding."
After saying that, he got up to leave.
Jiang Mingwei watched his retreating figure and couldn't help but let out a cold laugh, her eyes showing weariness.
She had already told Wei Jing everything she needed to say.
She knew Wei Jing was a loyal man, but there were some things he had to believe, even if he didn't believe them!
He said he was going to look into it, but did he really have no answer in his heart?
They just don't want to admit it!
However, after he finishes his investigation, he will probably fall into an even deeper despair!
“Go and investigate! Go and see what your good brother has done. If I could, I wouldn’t want to talk to you like this, but there are some things that you and I both know, and they can’t be explained in just a few words.”
"You should know better than I do that he's not a good person, but you're too grateful to him, so you've been blinded by him time and time again!"
"Wei Jing, isn't this... wrong?"
Wei Jing paused slightly, a hint of pain flashing in his eyes.
He clenched his fists, lifted his foot, and strode away, as if trying to escape something...
