Chapter 178 What kind of bad luck did you have?
“Master, I just think that you and that little girl just met by chance. If you appreciate the temperament of that junior, you can just give her some money to eat, but you Give it to her with the food box marked with our house.
Well, she actually used that as a token to bring trouble to you. "Ms. Qi knew that her husband did not really give birth to her. angry.
We have been married for many years, and she knows her husband’s character best.
I really can’t understand how my husband, who has always been calm and composed, can be so impulsive and careless at his age.
After listening to his old wife's words, Wei Junpei shook his head helplessly and did not respond. He just looked out the door anxiously.
Soon, the steward led a woman and a girl in. They seemed to be a mother and daughter.
"Your Excellency, Mr. Wei, the civilian woman Shen Yue'e and her daughter Nie Xue kowtow to you." As soon as she entered the door, she saw the majestic old man in official robes in front of her, Shen immediately knelt down and said.
After Xueer entered the house, she was so nervous that she didn't dare to raise her head. She kept staring at her mother's back while walking. When she saw her kneeling, she quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
"You two stand up and talk." Wei Junpei said warmly.
When he just saw the faces of the mother and daughter, although he was not sure of the specific reasons why the mother and daughter were looking for him, he was certain that Na Hong Xiaoduo introduced them here because the mother and daughter were indeed in need of help. people.
"Sir, the woman is here to beg you to help redress her grievances. This is a letter written by Miss Hong to you." Mrs. Shen sobbed, without getting up, she took out the hidden letter and held it up.
"You can go to the Yamen to beat drums and redress your grievances. Why did you come to our house?" Ms. Qi said from the side.
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong. When he turned around, he saw his husband's face darkened.
"Even if you are seeking grievance against my master, you should still stand up and speak." Ms. Qi said quickly.
She also knew that something was wrong with her just now. She has never blushed with her husband since they got married.
Seeing that his old wife realized his mistake, Wei Junpei's expression improved slightly: "This is my wife. She is right. No matter what you want from me, you should stand up and speak. After all, this is not a courtroom. .
If you insist on kneeling, then you should leave. "
Upon hearing this, Shen stood up in a hurry, and Xueer behind her also quickly got up.
Wei Junpei sat down, took the letter that the steward took from Mrs. Shen, motioned for Mrs. Shen and his daughter to sit down as well, and started to read it himself.
Mrs. Shen wanted to say that she didn't need to sit down and could just stand and reply, but thinking of what Mr. Wei had just said, she quickly went to sit aside.
But Xueer did not dare to sit down, but stood behind her mother.
"How do you know Hong Xiaoduo? Are you an old acquaintance, a relative?" After Wei Junpei read the letter, he still wanted to hear more details. .
“Back to your lord, the commoner’s wife did not know Miss Hong at first. It was the commoner’s son Nie Qing who met Miss Hong and her group on the way to Dawu Pass...” Shen Shi told Mr. Wei exactly what he knew.
Wei Junpei listened, twirling his beard and nodding from time to time.
Sitting on the edge, Mrs. Qi looked at her old man, who had a smile on his face when he heard about the young lady Na Hong. When he heard what happened to the Shen family, his brows furrowed again.
After Shen finished speaking, she looked nervously at Master Wei in front of her. After eating and sleeping all the way, we finally arrived in the capital. Thanks to Miss Hong, we finally met this gentleman. Now that we have said everything we need to say, we are just waiting for Master Wei to speak.
After Wei Junpei was silent for a moment, he asked a few more questions about the case, who was the official who was investigating the case, etc.
"Madam, her mother and daughter have traveled a long distance. They are not familiar with the place in this capital and have no relatives. They will stay in our house temporarily. Madam, please make arrangements." Wei Junpei looked at it. The old wife said.
After hearing what happened to the Shen family, Mrs. Qi also sympathized with the mother and daughter. She lost her previous emotions and said hello.
"Sir, if not we should stay in an inn." Shen said quickly.
Listening to Mr. Wei's tone just now, he intends to help himself. This is enough. How can he be embarrassed to live in someone else's house.
Wei Junpei smiled: "Don't feel embarrassed. I will take care of your family's affairs to the end. Your son Nie Qing's matter is not that simple, it is full of flaws. In this case, the officer dared to convict him like that, which shows how arrogant he is.
The reason why he is arrogant is of course because of his people.
Folks often talk about officials protecting each other. If your son's case wants to be overturned, in a straightforward and popular way, it is likely to pull out the carrot and bring out the mud.
What if there are also their accomplices in the capital? What if they get the news? What will they do to you, mother and daughter?
So, just to be on the safe side, stay in my official residence, it’s safer. "
After hearing these words, Mrs. Shen was stunned for a moment, and then realized that what Mr. Wei said was not alarmist.
"Then, thank you, Mr. Madam. . "Ms. Shen stood up and knelt down to kowtow again.
"Okay, look at the haggard faces of you mother and daughter, come and have a rest with me." Mrs. Qi stepped forward and said.
Ms. Shen hurriedly stood up with her daughter, and when they were about to leave the hall, Ms. Shen suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "Sir, the man outside the door is the one who escorted us."
" Okay, I will make arrangements." Wei Junpei responded.
Seeing his old wife walking away with Shen and his daughter, Wei Junpei ordered the steward to call in the man who escorted Shen and his daughter from outside the mansion, and also arranged to stay in the mansion.
However, soon, the steward came back and said: "Master, that man said that he was a beggar gang in the local area, so it is not appropriate to come in."
"Go and tell him that no matter what he does or what his status is, I don't mind. Then, I will also arrange a guest room for him to stay. Don't neglect it." Wei Junpei explained.
The steward responded, very curious in his heart what kind of person that little lady Hong was.
Why does my lord think so highly of her?
Otherwise, why would even a beggar coachman care so much.
However, curiosity is curiosity, but you cannot ask adults.
Looking back, you can ask the few people who went out with the adults at that time, who were they? A Dian? There seems to be Fang Tian?
What Guan Shi is curious about is that everyone his age knows that the so-called road distance knows the horse power and the people's hearts are known over time, but how did my master get so close to someone he met by chance on the road?
Mr. Shen just said what happened to her family, did the master believe it as soon as she heard it? No, the master did not believe in Mrs. Shen, but the person who introduced Mrs. Shen and her daughter, that little Madam Hong!
Hey, I don’t know what kind of bad luck happened to the person who framed Shen’s son. I guess he would never have thought that the person who caused his trouble was a chivalrous and nosy person. Little lady...
