087, arrogant
The time in the carriage was a little tormented. Wei Jin was tense and just looked forward to getting to the place soon. After about an hour, the carriage stopped.
I couldn't wait to get off the carriage, and Wei Yan was almost suffocated to death. After looking around, he came to the suburbs.
Lin Qi, who was standing beside him, moved a stool and fishing gear, and placed it on the riverside. Wei Gui's eyelids jumped suddenly. Seeing Xiao Zhan get off the carriage, sit on the small stool, leisurely holding the fishing rod and throwing it into the river.
"Prince Xiao..."
"Don't worry, I'm not in Kyoto City. I'm rushing here. Miss Seven will sit down." Xiao Zhan smiled lightly, looking in a good mood.
Wei Shi bit her lip and looked at the sky. The sky was clear and the clear water and blue sky, but she was anxious. This man still had the heart to sit here and fish.
"Prince Xiao, why not come to Princess Hua'an. I heard that Princess Hua'an is very good at fishing."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Xiao Zhan sneered, "It's up to you."
This was obviously a little unhappy. Wei Jing took a deep breath, and did not mention Princess Hua'an, and sat on the grass beside him.
Unexpectedly, Lin Qi had a fire. Wei Gui became more and more anxious as he looked at him. He could only wait with his temper. From time to time, he looked at Xiao Zhan who was fishing. He was wearing a long ink gown, his eyebrows were on his temples, his nose was as sharp as a knife, his face was stunning, and his face was as clear as the wind, and his noble and elegant.
After a moment, I caught a fish ashore and put it in a bucket. In less than a stick of incense, there were already seven or eight fish. I put down my fishing rod to wash the fish, inserted it on the bamboo, and handed it to Wei Jing.
Wei Jing was suddenly stunned.
"It's lunch time." Lin Qi kindly reminded.
Wei Jing took it with his teeth and sat next to the fire, grilling fish honestly. Xiao Zhan continued to fish without distraction.
In the blink of an eye, the fish were hit by the seedlings, either battered or burned, so they could only be discarded and roasted again.
Lin Qi looked at the corners of her mouth twitched twice, and she couldn't bear to look at her.
After all, Xiao Zhan couldn't see it anymore. He sat beside Wei Jin and grilled the fish himself. After a moment, bursts of fragrance came.
"You have agreed with the second house to have two days left. What's the hurry?" Xiao Zhan lowered his voice and asked in confusion. He grilled the fish in his hand, and asked again, "Is it because I can't trust me, I'm afraid I'll be delayed and I don't have time to prepare for a solution?"
Wei Jing frowned, "Prince Xiao misunderstood, family scandals should not be made public. It is another family matter of the Wei family. Why do I have the nerve to bother Prince Xiao with such a trivial matter?"
Click!
A fish hand that had been grilled loosened and fell into the fire, and was burned in an instant. Wei Gui's eyelids twitched, and an unknown premonition lingered in his heart.
"So, Deputy General Mu is a member of the Wei family. Why don't I remember that Deputy General Mu and the Wei family have such a deep relationship?"
Xiao Zhan continued to grill the fish without changing his face, but what he said was hard to guess. Wei Feng frowned. This was not the first time she felt Xiao Zhan's hostility towards Mu Heng.
Could it be that Mu Heng offended Xiao Zhan before?
Wei Zhi was wondering in his heart that people's hearts were unpredictable, especially the one in front of him, which was even more unpredictable.
"But in Kyoto City, Cousin Heng is already the closest relative of the Dafang. Cousin Heng has helped the Wei family's big house in private. Apart from that, I really don't know who to trust. The world is unpredictable." Wei Jing said in a low voice.
Xiao Zhan turned his eyes to look at Wei Jin. He was calm and introverted at such a young age. He was more sensible than a woman of the same age. He ran around to make plans for his family. When faced with those clear eyes, Xiao Zhan suddenly felt compassion and could not bear to blame him anymore.
Wei Jing held back and said that this matter was indeed something that Mrs. Marquis of Nanyang could do.
"Miss Seven, at the beginning, all the princesses were trained by us. When we saw something wrong, we immediately prepared a solution to the problem. We included all the books of the shops in the past year, found a place to hide them, and waited for the princess to come back one day," said Mr. Mao.
Wei Zhi was very happy when he heard this. With the account book, he was simply a surprise. He asked again, "But do you remember what the new manager who handed over to you first came from?"
Manager Mao nodded, "I know that the best shop under the princess's name is Debaozhai, who earns 10,000 taels of silver every month. The new manager is Wang Huang, a man from Wang Pozi's family, and Mo Yuanzhai, who is Wei Laowu, the entourage of the Marquis, who is beside the Marquis."
Manager Mao said it seriously, and Wei Jing listened very seriously. He wrote it down one by one. The more he listened, the more angry he became, but he felt a sense of understanding that she must let the second wife spit out the money from the big wife!
In the evening, Wei Jing turned around and said to Xiao Zhan, "Wei Jing remembers today's love. Thank you, Prince Xiao."
Xiao Zhan slowly stood up, "Since he is a friend, he is too distant to talk about thanks, Miss Seven is going well."
The two parted ways, Xiao Zhan sat in the carriage, Lin Qi couldn't help but touch the tip of his nose, "Your Highness, we finally found this person after we searched for him for three months. Why don't we tell Miss Wei Qi directly?"
Xiao Zhan squinted at Lin Qi in anger, "This girl has always been cautious. If she knew that I had been looking for someone secretly, she might be able to guard against me. Then it would be counterproductive."
After explaining this, Lin Qi murmured in a low voice, "Your Highness has touched Miss Wei Qi's temperament thoroughly. After such a big circle, the end of the day I will lose a few words of thanks. Your Highness has been working hard for Miss Wei Qi these days."
"What are you talking about!"
With a stern voice, Lin Qi shrank his neck so scared that he didn't dare to say a word more.
...
As it was getting dark, Wei Jing returned home and was stopped by June as soon as he entered the second door. "Miss, the princess is sick."
"Why is my mother sick? She is still fine in the morning? Why is she sick in the blink of an eye? Is it serious?" Wei Jing asked anxiously.
June shook his head, "The mansion said that important things were lost, and all four corner gates were kept firmly. They were only allowed to enter and not leave. They only hired a doctor in the palace, saying that the princess was not seriously injured. The maid only said that the princess would rest for a while, and when the lost thing was found, the access control was lifted."
The more I heard it, the more annoyed I was. What was this? I lost something in just one day and was not allowed to go out. Wei Jing frowned. In the end, there were four big words "Nanyang Hou Mansion" hanging on the plaque at the gate. The second room had already suppressed the big room.
"Go and have a look!"
I rushed to Hengshuiyuan all the way. The yard was not as busy as before, and the maids and mothers walked with caution.
Wei Gui entered the door, bypassed the screen, Hui Ju greeted him, "Miss Seven, you are back."
"Where is my mother?"
Perhaps after hearing Wei Jing's voice, Wei Wanning walked out and looked up and down at Wei Jing, "Xiao Qi, aren't you injured?"
"I'm fine, why do you say that?"
Wei Wanning breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Wei Jing, "A woman said, "I saw you hit by a carriage on the street and was stomped on the horse's hooves. Blood splattered on the spot. My mother fainted when she heard it."
Wei Jing suppressed his anger, "I'll go see my mother first."
Princess Yongyang, who had a white face, frowns, and she was sleeping with her eyes closed. Wei Gui sat on the top of the wall and held Princess Yongyang's hand. Her fingertips touched Princess Yongyang's wrist. Her eyelids twitched. Someone deliberately caused Princess Yongyang to be angry. Judging from the pulse, Princess Yongyang was actually poisoned!
"Xiao Qi..." Wei Wanning stepped forward, Wei Jin reached out and pulled Wei Wanning's wrist, exploring his veins carefully, and simply said that Wei Wanning was not seriously injured.
"My mother was poisoned by someone. The toxicity is still very shallow and not easy to detect. She was furious today, which triggered the toxicity."
"What?" Wei Wanning looked at Wei Jing in surprise, as if she was a little unbelievable, and then she thought of something, "It must be the second wife, Xiaoqi, is that mother in serious trouble?"
Wei Gui took out a pill of Jiedu pill from his arms and stuffed it into Princess Yongyang's mouth. He pinched the silver needle into the person, and then poured a large pot of water on the person, forcing Princess Yongyang to swallow it.
"Cough cough!" Princess Yongyang coughed suddenly, woke up leisurely, opened her eyes and saw Wei Ji, and was extremely excited.
"Mother, Xiaoqi is fine. Don't be very happy and sad. It's important to maintain a good body. The big room is still pointing at you to support it."
Wei Jing held Princess Yongyang, but fortunately he came back in time. If he delayed for a few more hours, Princess Yongyang would die silently and no one noticed it.
Perhaps seeing Wei Jing’s uncontrollable, Princess Yongyang fell asleep again. Wei Jing handed the sachet in her arms to Hui Ju, "I will feed my mother a pill every other hour."
"yes."
After getting up and going to the hall, Wei Wanning asked, "Xiao Qi, how about my mother?"
"My mother is not in trouble and can recover after a few days of rest. However, this chronic poison is a bit tricky. Judging from her pulse, it will take at least ten days."
Wei Jing was upset, why didn't he notice it? He looked around and the decorations of Hengshuiyuan were very simple, and he could see through it at a glance. After checking it carefully, there was nothing special.
"What will my mother do every day in the past ten days?" Wei Jin asked.
Wei Wanning hesitated for a while before saying, "While checking the account book, my mother sorted out the dowry for me. She took out some old things and embroidered the wedding dress for me personally. I was pregnant, and my mother didn't allow me to do anything. It was because I was negligent."
When Wei Yan raised his dowry, his eyelids twitched and asked Wei Wanning for the warehouse key, "I'll go to the warehouse first to take a look."
As Wei Shi guessed, the dowry was moved, most of them were soaked in fabric and needlework, and they were soaked in powdered urticaria. This powder would numb the nerves and erode people's reason over time. If Yongyang County had not been angry and caused toxicity, it would be difficult for people to notice.
As expected, several embroidered ladies were also infected with this kind of poison.
After returning to the main hall, Wei Jing looked at Wei Wanning with a gloomy face, "How many people are there around the eldest sister who are trustworthy?"
"The people I brought are all trustworthy people, there is nothing suspicious about them. They have followed me for many years. Some of them are carefully selected by the Marquis, so they should be trustworthy." Wei Wanning said.
"Dissatisfied with my elder sister, I suspect that my mother has people with external hearts around me, and there are not many people available in my hands. Now, I will first guard the warehouse and the few who my mother has the most contact with on weekdays, and investigate them one by one."
Wei Wanning quickly understood and turned to Siyun and turned to make a wink. Siyun immediately made arrangements.
"Fortunately my mother didn't ask my elder sister to help..." Wei Shi became more and more scared. If Wei Wanning had contacted him, this child would probably not be able to be saved.
Wei Wanning's throat was tight and cold sweat broke out in his palms.
"Where is the old lady who is passing the message?" Wei Jing asked again.
"I have already detained it and locked it up in a side room." Wei Wanning felt something was wrong at the time, but she didn't know whether it was true or not, so she immediately blocked the person's mouth and held it down.
After going to the side room, Wei Ji stood at the door to calm down his emotions. June was so angry, "Miss, I will beat her hard for you. It's so annoying. How can you spread lies?"
Wei Jing curled her lips and said, "Stand at the door and guard. No one is allowed to come in without my instructions. I have something to ask her."
"yes!"
He reached out and pushed the door. With a creaking sound, the candlelight in the room was a little dim. He sent the guard's wife, turned on the candlelight, lit a few more lights, and his eyes immediately lit.
The woman had a little face, her hair was scattered, her hands were tied, and a ball of linen was stuffed in her mouth. When she saw Wei Yin, she was a little puzzled. Perhaps because she saw Wei Yin was young, she did not take Wei Yin seriously.
Wei Jing held a lamp in his hand, bent down and squatted in front of the old woman. He suddenly sneered, his eyes were frightened, and the woman was so scared that she was covered in sweat.
"Do you know who I am?"
The woman who passed the message shook her head, with less contempt in her eyes and a little more solemn.
"My name is Wei Ji. I am the seventh lady of the Wei family's eldest house. You just passed the message today. How could you not know me?"
