A cold light flashed. It was actually a short sword, emitting a cold and oppressive aura!
This was the short sword that represented the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang's successor, which was also the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang's family heirloom. However, at this moment, Wei Ziyang handed it back to Wei Luowen.
"Nonsense! Do you still remember what I taught you!" Wei Luowen was so frustrated that his face turned pale. He paced the room with his hands behind his back a few times before standing in front of Wei Ziyang and asking sharply.
"When an honorable man handles things, he shall judge right from wrong disregarding his own wellbeing!" Wei Ziyang lowered his head in embarrassment as he recalled the guidance Wei Luowen had given him personally in the past. He felt very ashamed and guilty at this moment. For him, Wei Luowen was more than his uncle. He was like his father, and even more.
He had grown up by Wei Luowen's side since
The painting was unfolded. It was a painting of a woman gracefully standing at the gate of the courtyard. The green scenery filled the gate, but they were no match for the woman's sweet smile.Wei Yuewu drew this painting herself, and the woman in the painting was her biological mother, Qin Xinrui. She once saw the portrait of her mother by chance in Wei Luowen's study. After returning to her room, she drew a picture of her mother based on her memory.In fact, if one looked closely, one would find that they did not look alike, but at first glance, they had some similarities.This was the portrait that she intended and had promised to give to Wen Tianyao. However, she could not give this portrait away in person, so she had figured out another way...Early in the morning, a carriage, which had been prepared beforehand, was parked in front of the mansion. Wei Luowen and Wei Yuewu got on the carriage and headed to the mansion of
"What's wrong, Marquis Hua Yang? Are you alright?" Yan Huaijing smiled even more gently and elegantly.Only Little Dezi, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but lean back. Someone had provoked the heir-apparent. It was better for him to keep a distance now."In that small town..." Wei Luowen slowly adjusted his expression. He forced a smile and slowly sat down again. "How could there be a Prince's mansion in that small town? I find it strange!"There were some things that no one had ever known, or rather, most of the people who knew about them had died. The ones who survived were all his trusted servants. It was impossible for Yan Huaijing to know about this. A fierce look flashed across Wei Luowen's eyes.This matter was of great importance, and it was no longer a matter concerning his life alone!"Well, I'm not clear either. I just heard that Prince Bei'an used to like to visit that place and he even br
"This item fell from the hands of the dead maid who took her place! She clenched her fist so tightly when she died that no one noticed she was holding such a small box in her hand," Yan Huaijing recounted with a leisurely smile as if he hadn't noticed the dramatic changes in expressions of Wei Yuewu and Wei Luowen.Qin Ruo was holding the box? Wei Yuewu slowly came to her senses. She remembered that she was there when they handled Qin Ruo's body. It was mainly Yan Huaijing's bodyguards who helped her, but no one told her about it at that time, and Yan Huaijing didn't say anything either later.However, she did not expect that Yan Huaijing would take it out at this time!This was something that her mother had left for her. In fact, she had been wearing it as a necklace all the while. She must have dropped it accidentally when she was running away from Mo Huating, who tried to kill her at that time. Qin Ruo probably had noticed it. Hence,
The carriage quickly arrived at the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang. After Wei Yuewu and Jin Ling returned to Lotus Courtyard, Wei Yuewu sat down in the courtyard and asked Huamo to get her needles and threads. She sewed it with a string and hung it on her neck.From what Wei Yuewu observed, she felt that the small box was meant to be strung and worn on the neck. There was a small hole on the side of the box where a string could be worn through. Then, she could use it as a necklace. The small box looked just like a delicate little pendant due to its small size."Miss, I think the pattern on the surface of the box is a bit familiar," After helping Wei Yuewu clean up, Huamo exclaimed with some surprise."Familiar? Have you seen it before?" Wei Yuewu looked at her and laughed.She had lost the box before she entered the capital, so it was impossible for Huamo to see the box at all."It's true. I seem to have seen it be
"Concubine, t-there's a letter for you!" The maid was quite nervous. She took out a letter from her pocket with trembling hands and handed it over.In the past, they would only convey a short message or "coincidentally" bump into each other sometimes. It wasn't a big deal. But now that she got a physical message, Concubine Yang was jittery. She squeezed the handkerchief tightly and did not dare to take the letter."Concubine, please take it and read it. He is waiting for your reply!" The maid stuffed the letter into Concubine Yang's hand frightfully.The letter was as heavy as an anchor, but Concubine Yang subconsciously opened it and read it.It was actually a short message, and the person who wrote the letter asked her if she was willing to elope with him. "Him", in this context, was, of course, the geomancer. He claimed that his wife had passed away years ago, but he hadn't remarried for years because of his deep feelings
As the bowl of medicine was smashed to the ground, the bowl shattered into pieces, and the liquid medicine splashed on the ground. Due to its hot temperature, the medicine evaporated a little and the smell became stronger and stronger.The smell of the medicine was completely different from that of ordinary medicine. It carried a pungent smell that was almost like a stench. Even the medicinal ingredients that had a strong smell could not suppress the stench. The smell was even stronger now that the medicine splashed on the floor.Even though Wei Luowen knew little about medicine, he could sense the oddity in it, and his expression also changed slightly at this time. "What is it?""It is the smell of Five Drums Grass!" Doctor Ming turned to look at Madam Dowager grimly. "Madam Dowager, someone put Five Drums Grass in your medicine!""W-What? What is Five Drums Grass?" Madam Dowager held Nanny Hong's hand in shock and asked wh
"What is it?" Madam Dowager asked in surprise. She was most concerned about her own matters, so she could not be bothered to question Wei Yuewu."Not only your medicine pot, but there is also a problem with Concubine Dong's medicine pot!" Nanny Dong, who had a medicine pot in her hands, followed behind Nanny Hong and said anxiously."What? Mine too?!" Concubine Dong pretended as if she had just heard the news and staggered back in shock. She was about to trip and fall when a maid by the side supported her and grabbed her."W-Who did I and Madam Dowager offend? Why did that person want to kill both of us?!" Concubine Dong shrieked in horror and looked at Wei Yuewu with obvious suspicion.After the dispute just now and hearing Concubine Dong's words, Madam Dowager also turned and looked at Wei Yuewu, feeling that Wei Yuewu was indeed very suspicious.However, Wei Yuewu smiled coldly. Sure enough, Concubine Dong ha
The first person was the geomancer, who was carried in by Wei Luowen's bodyguards.Another bodyguard came in with a pot of ink."Lord Marquis, there's also some trace of Five Drums Grass in this ink," Doctor Ming frowned and said directly.It was very easy for a doctor who was familiar with Five Drums Grass' stench to detect the smell from such a large basin of ink. The stench was quite strong and obvious, which indicated that there was a significant amount of Five Drums Grass inside."So what if the ink has the trace of Five Drums Grass? Do you think someone will be stupid enough to drink the ink?!" Madam Dowager slammed her hand on the table and shouted angrily. She was very dismayed about Wei Luowen's action of bringing the geomancer here.Wei Yuewu's eyes darted slightly, and she hid the mockery in her eyes. Madam Dowager was really selfish. Was she so certain that someone had attempted to harm her? However,
