The lucky little prince's doting wife

Chapter 259

Wei Shoufu even doubted whether the fire that day had burned down the Phoenix Seal. But in the end, he rationally told Wei Shoufu that the house was not burned down, and the gold objects that the old lady liked were all fine. The Phoenix Seal was also made of gold. How could it be burned down?
Then Chief Wei Wei suspected whether the phoenix seal had been stolen by the people who put out the fire, but the people who came to put out the fire in this yard were all from the Wei family, and there were no outsiders.These people were all searched afterward. Not to mention the Phoenix Seal, they couldn't even take away a single copper plate.

Did the dead men of the Lin family take it away?After all, it was their people who set the fire, but if the dead men of the Lin family did this, it was impossible for the old lady to not see it. The fact is that the dead men of the Lin family did not enter the old lady's bedroom.

Oh, that's not right. Wei Shoufu grabbed his eyebrows hard. A dead man had entered the old lady's house, but the maids and women who were in the house at the time could all testify that the dead man had not touched anything in the house.

So, Wei Shoufu thought, after everyone in the Wei family escaped, the dead men of the Lin family entered the house again and took away the phoenix seal?

If he didn't have a clear purpose, how could this thief only take away the phoenix seal, which was less than half the size of a palm, from the treasure of the secret room?

Or maybe the person who took away the Phoenix Seal was not Lin Yong's people, but the Emperor's. After all, His Majesty the Emperor had been searching for the Phoenix Seal for 18 years.

Then the problem comes again. If the Phoenix Seal is not found in public, unless the Wei family is defeated in the future and the emperor wants to confiscate the Wei family and exterminate their family, the emperor can tell the story about the Phoenix Seal, because at that time he will no longer be able to defend himself. , take it out now?Where are the witnesses?Where is the physical evidence?As long as he, Wei Shengwen, refused to admit it until death, what could the emperor do to him?You don't need your people to testify against me.

The tea in front of him was already cold. Wei Shoufu picked up the tea cup and drank it in one gulp. He closed his eyes and took a long breath.Feeling that he had thought things through clearly, Wei Shoufu calmed down again.

According to Wei Shoufu's habit when faced with difficult decisions, he would first think of the worst outcome. If he could accept this outcome, then he could also accept this matter.

The Phoenix Seal has been in the hands of the Wei family for 18 years, and has no use. At most, it is just an unspeakable ambition of the Wei family.

The emperor had long believed that Empress Yan was harmed by their Wei family, and reconciliation was not possible. In this life, the monarch and his ministers had done what they did. In the end, if both parties could check and balance each other, it would be the best outcome.

Wei Shoufu called out for someone to come.

The housekeeper came in from outside the house.

Wei Shoufu stood up from the Taishi chair and wanted to change and go out.

The housekeeper didn't dare to ask where you were going in the middle of the night. The housekeeper only dared to ask Wei Shoufu if he was going out on business or something else.If he goes out on business, he has to prepare official uniforms for his master.

Wei Shoufu: "Wear casual clothes, I'm going to the Duke of Qin's mansion."

When the housekeeper heard that his master was going to the Duke of Qin's mansion, he not only did not dare to speak, but also shuddered.

Wei Shoufu was very calm. He changed his clothes under the steward's care and was about to go out.

The housekeeper followed Wei Shoufu out of the house and couldn't help but ask: "Should we bring more guards?"

He heard the words Qin Guogong's Palace as if he were hearing the Palace of the King of Hell. He would not be able to feel at ease if his master did not bring a troop of troops there.You know, the fourth young master of the Lin family just came to Wei Mansion to set things off.

Wei Shoufu smiled and said, "I'm just going to see an old friend, there's no need to make a big fuss."

housekeeper:"……"

Old friend?I'm afraid Mr. Lin won't recognize it, right?
The chief minister of Wei, dressed in a homely gown and a square scarf on his head, took a small sedan carried by two people to the Duke of Qin's mansion.

The other masters of the Wei family were still guarding the old lady's room. After knowing that Feng Yin was missing, the old lady passed out.Except for Chief Wei Wei who knew the reason, everyone else in the Wei family just thought that the old lady would not survive the night.

When a servant came to report that the Grand Prime Minister had gone out to visit friends, Mrs. Luo and Mr. Xiao Ge who were standing by the bed didn't believe it. When the old lady was dying, this person was out to visit friends?No kind of friend is as important as your mother, right?
"Which friend is it?" Old Xiaoge asked after regaining his composure.

The servant shook his head and said he didn't know.

"Where's the housekeeper?" Mr. Xiaoge didn't have a good temper at the moment, so he immediately said, "He followed?" The servant said hurriedly: "The housekeeper is in the house."

Mr. Xiaoge: "Tell him to get over here."

The housekeeper came over in a hurry after a while. After hearing Mr. Xiaoge's question, he did not dare to reply loudly. He leaned close to Mr. Xiaoge and whispered: "The Grand Prime Minister has gone to the Duke of Qin's mansion."

Old Xiaoge trembled.

Mrs. Luo waited until the housekeeper left, then asked her son urgently: "Which friend did your father go to meet?"

Mrs. Luo would not ask about this kind of thing on ordinary days. When her husband goes out to visit friends, this is something outside the family home. If the husband doesn’t talk about it, women shouldn’t ask. This is the womanly rule that Mrs. Luo upholds.But today Mrs. Luo couldn't bear it anymore. She was so flustered that she felt as if she had fallen into a bottomless pit. She looked down desperately, but she couldn't see the bottom. When she looked up, it was also dark. .

It was the first time for Mrs. Luo to experience this feeling of not being able to see the sky or the earth. It was so uncomfortable.

Xiaoge Lao turned to look at the old lady. His father wanted to talk to Lin Yong. This was something that had already been decided. He just didn't expect that his father would choose tonight.

"You should be talking," Mrs. Luo said anxiously.

Mr. Xiaoge: "Father has gone to the Duke of Qin's mansion."

Mrs. Luo was stunned immediately.

Mr. Xiaoge: "Father has something to discuss with Lin Xianggong, so mother, please don't ask any more questions."

What can you talk about with Lin Yong?If Lin Deyi hadn't come to cause trouble, the old lady's condition would not have deteriorated so rapidly that she was about to die.

Mrs. Luo didn't understand, so she asked again: "What could it be for?"

Mr. Xiaoge said: "Anyway, it can't be to force Prime Minister Lin to leave Lin Deyi."

Mrs. Luo said blankly: "At this time, do you still have the heart to joke with your mother?"

Your dying grandmother is lying in front of you, and you are still proud of her?It was Lin Deyi who caused your grandmother to be like this!

Mr. Xiaoge smiled, his smile seemed like he was crying, and he looked distorted. "Talk about political affairs," Mr. Xiaoge said to Mrs. Luo: "My son doesn't know what they want to talk about. Mother should wait until his father comes back to ask him."

Mrs. Luo was stunned. She didn't even ask about matters outside her home. How could she ask about political affairs?This son...

"Are you turning your anger on me?" Mrs. Luo looked at her eldest son in disbelief, how dare you?
Mr. Xiao Ge also realized that his mood towards his mother was wrong. The busy man sat up, the expression on his face softened, and whispered to Mrs. Luo: "My son doesn't dare, mother, father." I need to discuss something very important with Mr. Lin.”

Mrs. Luo also calmed down a little at this time. She was at fault in the first place and she shouldn't have asked, so she couldn't blame her son.

"What are you going to do about your grandmother's funeral?" Mrs. Luo murmured aimlessly: "Your uncles and aunts haven't sent anyone to notify you yet, and I don't know if they will blame us afterwards."

Your mother is seriously ill and dying, and you don't send people to call the other children to see her for the last time. This can't be justified by anyone, right?

Mr. Xiaoge was impatient. His thoughts had already gone to the Duke of Qin's mansion. After listening to his mother's words, Mr. Xiaoge really wanted to say that this matter is not important now!
Are the living or the dead more important?

But in the era when filial piety was the first priority, Mr. Xiao Ge did not dare to say these words.
