Chapter 291 Dog bites dog
It's night in Shengjing City.
There was a burst of crackling and smashing sounds from the high cabinet of Xie Mansion, and the maids and servants guarding downstairs shrank in unison.
Upon seeing this, Butler Xie warned with a cold face: "Be more alert these days and don't make any mistakes on your errands."
After saying that, he picked up the lantern and climbed up the stairs.
As soon as he left, the boys started stealing.
The young man in gray clothes pursed his lips and said: "I have smashed several sets of sweet white glaze porcelain bottles in the past few days. This time, it is probably Mr. Wei who caused it again."
What he said was as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
The boy next to him frowned and lowered his voice and replied: "Why are you still calling me Mr. Wei? Isn't it spread all over the world? Then Mr. Wei is our master's biological son. The master loses his temper with his son and makes a lot of mistakes. What about pottery? ”
"Tch, I saw that you haven't left the house for several days. That's not the only thing that's been rumored outside. My aunt's grandson is working as an errand for the Yu family." He blinked, "Does the Yu family know? It’s His Royal Highness’s maternal wife.”
Hu Er slapped his thigh and retorted: "What, this is the trick of the nobles. You have been working in the Xie Mansion for many years. You have never eaten pork and never seen a pig running. What are you talking about?"
Someone swallowed twice and asked: "How did this news come out?"
Hu Er narrowed his eyes and patted him on the back symbolically: "How can I not believe it? I just want to show off."
Hu Er looked mysterious and smiled: "I heard that the empress in the palace sent people to search for the letters that were found in the bedroom of our young master. That's a bold choice of words."
He said that he was half hiding and half arousing people's curiosity. The boy in gray clothes twisted his arm: "Hu Er, why are you hiding it? We brothers are the ones on duty today." , you are still afraid that your words will not fall into other people’s ears, how can we brothers repay God with our ears?”
When Hu Er saw someone retorting, he glared at him and replied: "Did you see what was written in the letter? Our master has already suppressed this matter. Otherwise, why would the foreign master come here to be disciplined every day? Even though the Yu family explained it to the outside world. It’s a pity that there is no airtight wall in the world.”
He waved to the people around him, and soon the heads were gathered together in a pile.
"The news coming out of Yu's family is that our son from outside the family is the guest of His Highness the Crown Prince!"
The young man in gray clothes frowned: "I heard that what was found was just some ordinary correspondence."
"A male guest?"
The expressions of several people suddenly became colorful when they heard this.
One by one, they even began to wonder if there were obscene words and songs in the correspondence they found.
The more ambiguous Hu Er was, the more divergent his thinking became.
Seeing a few people starting a heated discussion, Hu Er ran out as soon as he peeed.
The people below the high cabinet seemed to have endless words to say, but the people above the high cabinet remained silent.
After Xie Wuwei glanced at the mess, he looked at Wei Ning with a cold expression. Seeing him sealing his lips tightly, he was even more angry. Unfortunately, there was nothing left to smash on the sapphire case. He let out an angry roar, folded his sleeves and sat down: "How dare you argue that those letters are not from you?" I’ve had someone compare the handwriting on it, it’s yours!”
Weining's expression was numb. He had heard this too many times in the past few days and had stopped arguing on this matter. However, Xie Wuwei insisted on clinging to this matter. He would use this matter to make a fuss about it once he came. temper.
He didn't understand why he, a person who had been immersed in officialdom for decades, didn't know about this childish frame-up?
"Father, Xie Fengyue did this." He spoke in a calm tone, explaining things matter-of-factly.
Xie Wuwei's eyes turned red with anger.
Could he not know that Xie Fengyue did this?
But now that Xie Fengyue has disappeared, where else can he go to find her?
He could only blame Weining for being careless and someone took advantage of him. He had been planning for so long to put Weining in his current position, but now he was overwhelmed by these letters, and there was a lot of mess waiting for him. He cleans up.
The most irritating thing is that in the past, other aristocratic families turned a blind eye even if they knew that Wei Ning was him. Now that the Yu family has brought things to light, he has to stand on the bright side as well. Stop this from getting worse.
Now that Weining's identity is no longer useful, wouldn't he want to drag Xie Jin into it? His only direct descendant is a son.
The more Xie Wuwei thought about it, the angrier he became. He cursed angrily: "You are such a useless thing. Your books have been read into the dog's belly. How can you be manipulated by a little girl? Now the rumors outside are getting more and more outrageous. It’s just that I, the Xie family, are traitors.”
Wei Ning sneered coldly and said indifferently to his anger: "Xie Fengyue stated in the letter that you were responsible for the marriage between me and Princess Beiyuan. What is the difference between this and pointing out that the Xie family is traitorous to the country?"
Xie Wuwei cracked his knuckles: "Remember, the Beiyuan marriage was personally agreed to by Emperor Zhou, and I, Mr. Xie, have not been tainted in the slightest!"
Wei Ning was unilaterally scolded by him for several days, and he was already holding a breath in his heart. He said sadly: "Does the Wang family believe it? Does the Lin family believe it? Does the Yuan family who is stationed in the north believe it?"
Xie Wuwei almost couldn't bring himself to ask this question. He took several deep breaths before he managed to calm down.
"There is no actual evidence for anything said in those letters. I have already ordered people to stop talking. You can go out to avoid the limelight and come back when this matter cools down."
The candle flame flickered on and off, making Weining's face look even more lonely.
His expression was mocking, with a sneer on his lips: "Does father want me to hand over all the people in my hands to Xie Xi?"
After he finished speaking, he raised his eyes and glanced at Xie Wuwei. Seeing that his face was ashen, he continued: "If my father hadn't agreed to the Yu family's search of my yard in order to prove his innocence, would this have happened? Could it be that he had given up on it long ago? You want to use me up and throw me away?”
Xie Wuwei looked fierce and stood up, slapping the table: "That's a bunch of nonsense! Concubine Yu sent someone to say that you were guiding Crown Prince Qian'an with impure intentions and malicious intentions. If you take this big hat off, can I not agree to let her search! How can that be true? Didn’t I tell everyone in the world that I, the Xie family, had disobedient intentions? How could I know that there could be correspondence in such a private place as your idiot’s bedroom?”
"That was Xie Fengyue's doing." Weining reiterated.
"Haha, to be deliberately plotted by your own sister without realizing it, you are infinitely stupid." Xie Wuwei sneered coldly.
Silence filled the entire study.
After half a stick of incense, Wei Ning spoke again: "The Yu family sent a letter to the City Patrol Division and the Beizhen Fu Division to make the matter bigger. It was obviously aimed at the Xie family. If my father would transfer me out of the capital at this time, , in the eyes of outsiders, this is the default.”
It’s so cold, there’s still no T~T this week
