Quick Wear: The White-Eyed Wolf Punishment Plan
Chapter 24: The Marquis wants to favor his concubine and kill his wife? He is courting death! (4)
But when Wei Jin saw the jade pendant, the stone in her heart finally fell.
She thought it was something else. The heirloom of the Marquis' Mansion was indeed a jade pendant, but the jade pendant was lying safely in the jewelry box in her room!
She knew it was a fake without even touching it.
The pride could not be concealed between his eyebrows.
"With just a broken jade pendant, you want to climb up..." Before Wei Jinshi could finish her words, she heard Yan Siqing's puzzled voice.
"Hey, why does this jade pendant look exactly like the one my mother has?"
Wei Jin glared at him, as if to say, you should stop talking.
But Yan Siqing didn't accept it at all~
After hearing her words, Crown Prince Xiao Chengze's face became serious, and he asked Wei Jinshi to take out the jade pendant for comparison.
Wei Jinshi did not dare to disobey him and could only say, "Yes."
He then ordered the nanny beside him to go into the room and get the jade pendant.
While waiting, the prince stroked the jade again and again, his eyes filled with thoughts.
Yan Siqing naturally knew what he was worried about.
If what happened today were to get out, the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion and the late old Marquis would probably plummet.
But Marquis Chang'an died on the battlefield, and only the elderly, the weak and the sick are left in the marquis' mansion. It is inevitable that they will be looked down upon in the future. But if they have a child, the situation may be better.
If this child can be successful in the future, he might be able to revive the Marquis's Mansion.
This prince is a good prince. When his brothers do not fight for him and only want to support him, he can release his benevolence and righteousness to the greatest extent.
From the original plot, it can be seen that the prince has taken care of the Marquis' Mansion many times.
I guess at this moment, he is also thinking of the best way to prevent the Marquis' Mansion from being defeated.
But Wei Jinshi didn't have time to think so much. She knew that her son was not dead, and as an old woman, she needed to protect his title and couldn't let some random people snatch it away.
Of course, what’s more, she absolutely cannot tolerate her husband having other mistresses outside of his house!
As expected, this board still hurts only when it hits me.
In the original plot, facing the original owner's half-sister brought back by her son, the old lady would only ask her to be more patient and say that a harmonious family brings prosperity.
Later, because of a minor friction, he accused the original owner of being jealous and called her a vicious woman.
Now, Yan Siqing wants to see how generous the original owner's mother-in-law is!
When the nanny brought the jade pendant, the prince could tell the real one from the fake one at a glance, because the one that the old nanny brought was of too poor quality and even the palace maids in the East Palace would not be interested in it.
"Madam, you should... come and see for yourself," the prince put down the two jade pendants.
Wei Jinshi stepped forward and immediately lost her composure when she saw the one that the nanny had taken.
"No, not this one! Did you get the wrong one?"
The old maid said, "I took the jewelry box as Madam ordered. There is no mistake."
"Impossible! This is not my jade pendant!" He grabbed the jade pendant that Yang Ying had just taken out and said, "This is my jade pendant!"
Then he pointed at Yang Ying and said viciously, "How dare you openly steal in the mansion! Come, drag this mother and son out and beat them to death!"
Wei Jinshi could no longer maintain her dignity. Once the jade pendant was revealed, her position as an old lady was in jeopardy.
But everyone was not stupid, and now they understood completely that Yang Ying was indeed the old marquis's wife... After all, the heirloom was in someone else's hands and could not be faked. But in this case, wouldn't Wei Jin become a joke!
Wei Jinshi's loud and self-deceiving noise formed a sharp contrast with Yang Ying's calmness.
No matter how you look at it, it seems that Yang Ying is more like the old lady who is in charge of the household affairs in the marquis's mansion.
Yan Siqing deliberately advised with tears in her eyes, "Mother, mother, please don't do that. Today is the day of the Marquis's funeral. How can we see blood?"
"Shut up! You have no right to speak here!"
At this moment, Wei Jinshi really hated Yan Siqing. She felt that if she hadn't been so talkative, she would not have lost face in front of everyone.
The heirloom of the Marquis's Mansion actually fell into the hands of a concubine! If this were to get out, how could she still have the face to call herself the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion!
This reveal of the true face caused many people's expressions to change slightly, especially the Crown Prince and the Third Prince.
The Third Prince said coldly, "Madam, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still here, please don't lose your composure."
Wei Jinshi stamped her feet in anxiety and went to look at the prince again, but the prince did not want to look at her anymore. Instead, he had the young man, who had been kneeling modestly and upright, pulled up.
Xiao Chengze: "Child, tell me why your mother brought you here today."
It was good that he wanted to leave a descendant for the Marquis's mansion, but he also didn't want to invite a wolf into the house.
Especially... The prince glanced at Yan Siqing, who was gasping for breath after being scolded by the old lady, and sighed.
Especially I don’t want anyone to be wronged.
If this child showed any sign of evil ambition, he would have them driven out of the capital and never be able to return.
The woman who had been calm just now was now nervous. To be honest, she had not considered that the prince would personally interrogate her Yoona.
But the boy just blinked slowly, looking harmless for his age.
"My mother told me to come over and kowtow to my eldest brother."
The prince asked again: "And then?"
Boy: "Then take me home and pick the homework assigned yesterday."
The prince nodded, his guard down a bit, and then asked him what part of his lessons he had learned and who his teacher was.
The boy answered them one by one, lowering his head in shame, "I'm so stupid. I haven't memorized half of yesterday's homework yet."
Who would doubt the nature of this child?
How much scheming could a mother have to raise a child like this?
Today's events might not be as complicated as they thought.
But Yan Yizhong, who was standing by, saw the prince's intention and suddenly stepped forward, "Your Highness, I have something to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not."
Xiao Chengze thought to himself, since you said that, should I still cover your mouth?
"Minister Yan, please feel free to speak."
Yan Yizhong: "Your Highness, I feel that this matter is rather strange, and I am afraid it is not appropriate to make a hasty judgment."
Then he turned to the woman and said, "Let me ask you, since you said that you and the old marquis were husband and wife, why didn't you appear when the old marquis was buried seven years ago?"
Xiao Jinghe thought it made sense: "Yes, if the couple really loved each other deeply, how could they not see each other when they were dying?"
The woman stood there, without any panic on her face, but her bright eyes were now bloodshot and a tear fell.
"Because... I still hated him at that time."
Xiao Chengze: "Do you hate him?"
"When we got married, he never told me that he already had a wife and children. I followed him foolishly until I learned that he already had a family when I was on his way back to the capital.
I, Yang Ying'er, am the daughter of the master of Medicine King Valley and will definitely not be someone's concubine."
Everyone present looked at the woman's resolute eyes with some degree of admiration.
"At that time, I had a big fight with Wei Lang. I was heartbroken and left him. But only after I left did I realize that I was pregnant with Yoona."
"What about the future? Did you go back to Medicine King Valley?" Xiao Jinghe couldn't help but ask.
Unexpectedly, Yang Ying seemed to finally weaken and raised his hand to cover his mouth.
"In order to be with Wei Lang, I broke off all ties with my father. How could I go back? I could only be alone outside, struggling to make a living. Who knows the hardships involved..."
As she said this she started crying again.
