Transmigrated into a short-lived widow? Cold-faced uncle fights for my life

Chapter 7: Forcing her to die to prove her innocence

Lu Yun screamed in fright and quickly retracted her feet to avoid getting her skirt dirty.

When she raised her eyes carefully, she saw Wei Jing looking at her silently, taking in every change in her expression.

She was really terrified. Although she knew Wei Jing was ruthless, she didn't expect him to be so ruthless. It was really frightening.

But Lu Yun must not admit it, otherwise she will have no place to stand in the Wei Mansion in the future!

"You are such a vicious little boy. I have no grudge against you, why do you want to frame me?"

Lu Yun cried so hard that she almost couldn't breathe.

"When did I ask you to poison the Second Young Master? If it weren't for the Second Young Master, Heng'er and I wouldn't have made it to the Wei Mansion alive. You are trying to force me to death!"

The servant was slightly startled when he heard this, and said in a shrill voice, "It's you, it's obviously you who ordered me to do this, why don't you dare to admit it!"

"I took three taels of silver from you, and you said that you would give me another ten taels of silver after the matter was completed. Second Young Master, I really didn't lie to you. It was this woman..."

Facing Wei Jing's inquiring eyes, Lu Yun gritted his teeth, stood up tremblingly, and looked at the red pillar beside him with a fearless look.

"I have been living a miserable life thanks to the Second Young Master, but now I have been framed by a villain and I have no way to defend myself. I can only die to prove my innocence."

"Please trouble the Second Young Master and the Old Madam to educate Heng'er well. As his mother, I will not accompany him any more!"

After saying that, he rushed towards the pillar nearby.

"Madam Lu!" the maid Shuang Yin screamed in shock.

Wei Jing came back to his senses, flew forward to stop her, and pushed her back without leaving a trace.

Suddenly, the master and servant cried together, looking miserable, without a trace of falsehood.

Wei Jing's eyes were deep, and just as he was about to ask again, a childish voice sounded.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Wei Heng seemed to have just woken up, and accompanied by his wet nurse, he staggered towards his mother.

Lu Yun's eyes sparkled with inspiration, and she quickly pulled him over, pretending to let Wei Heng face forward inadvertently.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that bloody figure!

Suddenly, the child's shrill cry resounded through the sky, piercing people's eardrums.

"Mom, I'm scared! What is that? I'm so scared..."

"Heng'er!"

Lu Yun hugged him tightly in her arms, patted his back gently, raised her head and looked at Wei Jing with shame and anger.

"Second Young Master, you can doubt me, but I am just a weakling, and my death is not a pity! But Heng'er is just a child, how can he sleep well at night in such a bloody scene? He is Wei Lang's only bloodline, if he dies of convulsions, can you bear the consequences?"

She burst into tears as she was questioned, but her right hand twisted hard where Wei Jing couldn't see.

Wei Heng felt pain and cried even louder.

Wei Jing had a splitting headache, her questions echoing in his ears. As long as her elder brother was mentioned, he was ultimately unable to refute and raised his hand to bow to Lu Yun.

"I was rude to you. Miss Lu and your brother are in love with each other and they are in perfect harmony. They would never do something so outrageous. I was wrong."

After saying this, he ordered Qingfeng who was following behind him.

"Drag this traitor who is full of lies away and give him twenty severe punishments. Expel him from the Wei family and never employ him again!"

Qingfeng looked at Lu Yun with complicated eyes, then bowed and said no more.

"Yes."

Wei Heng kept crying, and Wei Jing was really distressed.

"I apologize for any offense today, Miss Lu."

Lu Yun stared at his back until he disappeared from her sight. All of a sudden, all the strength in her body left her. She collapsed on the ground, holding the child tremblingly.

"Shuang Yin, go spread the news that the Second Master came to our courtyard just now. There is no need to do it today, you can spread it to the old lady in the next few days!"

"Yes, I'll go right away." Shuang Yin received the order and hurriedly got up and left.

Lu Yun coaxed Wei Heng softly, thinking carefully in her heart.

She didn't expect Wei Jing to catch the person who drugged her so easily and then lock on to her.

Fortunately, she escaped today thanks to Heng'er's protection, but Wei Jing must still have doubts in his heart.

If you want to do anything again after this, it will be difficult.

You can't have your cake and eat it too, so she has to at least get one first!

Three days passed in a flash.

In Sufeng Courtyard, Jiang Mingwei was lying on a soft couch in the corridor, covered with a fox fur coat, her face looking haggard.

Hua Cui brought the medicine bowl to her mouth. After just two sips, Jiang Mingwei stopped drinking it and stamped her feet in anxiety.

"Miss, drink a little more. You've had a low-grade fever for the past few days since you caught a cold. The doctor said that if you don't recover, you'll develop a serious illness!"

Jiang Mingwei's face was wrinkled in pain.

She had taken Chinese medicine before, but the Chinese medicine that the ancients took was actually the modern Plus version!

It's really hard, just like her life...

"Good Huasui, I'm really fine, just let me sleep for a while!"

"No, I have to watch the lady finish drinking it. If you think it's too bitter, I'll get you two candied fruits."

Jiang Mingwei's eyes lit up, "This is possible."

Hua Cui nodded, put the medicine bowl aside and went into the house.

No one saw Jiang Mingwei secretly get up and pour one-third of the medicine bowl along the flower wall under the corridor.

Seeing that there was no one around, he happily lay down on the couch and pretended to sleep.

She had no idea that her "cleverness" was seen by the man at the gate.

There was a smile in Wei Jing's eyes, and his stern expression relaxed.

His sister-in-law is more interesting than he imagined!

Just as he was about to step into the yard and ask about Jiang Mingwei's health, he saw Qingfeng coming in hurriedly to report.

"Second Master, the old lady wants you to go over."

"now?"

Wei Jing frowned, "What did you say?"

"No." Qingfeng shook his head, "But Miss Lu is here too. The old lady looks unhappy. I'm afraid it's because of the accusation that day!"

Wei Jing looked at Jiang Mingwei again steadily, then turned around.

"Go and have a look."

After the two left, Jiang Mingwei slowly raised her eyes and looked towards the empty door, her brows slightly furrowed.

It was strange. Why did she feel like someone was looking at her at the door just now?

On the way, Qingfeng endured it again and again, but in the end he couldn't help but speak out.

"Second Master, I wanted to tell you that day that Lu was clearly guilty and that her attempts to commit suicide were all just excuses. Why didn't you pursue the matter later?"

"If we continue investigating, we will definitely find the real culprit who drugged me!"

Wei Jing glanced at him sideways and warned him in a voice.

"You can say this in front of me, but don't say it outside."

"But..." Qingfeng scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously.

"I have seen her and my eldest brother inseparable in the army. I think they have some feelings for each other. I can't bear it if this hurts the harmony between the brothers."

Wei Jing's expression was calm, and he curled his lips without noticing Qing Feng.

Now that the person is gone, how can we talk about brotherhood?

Soon, the two arrived at the old lady's Mianfeng Pavilion.

She sat in the main seat in the hall, with the miserable Lu Yun sitting beside her.

When he saw Wei Jing, he hurriedly lowered his head, looking both frightened and pitiful.

Wei Jing stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the old lady. "I heard that mother wanted to see her son for something. What is it?"

The old lady snorted coldly, raised the cane in her hand, and dropped it heavily on Wei Jing's shoulder.

"Kneel down, you evil-hearted person!"
