Chapter 264 The Truth
"No?"

Qu Ruowen was taken aback, losing the seal was a big deal, it was related to Wei's family business.She calmed down and thought about what went wrong, did Wei Youping lie to her?But it is good to say that people are about to die, Wei Youping's situation at that time, there is no need to deceive her at all.Could it be that Wei Lige misremembered the vase?But he is so sure that he shouldn't remember wrongly, and there is no need for him to joke.Could it be that someone stole it in advance?They were talking just now, did someone outside eavesdrop?

In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Qu Ruowen's mind, but they were eliminated one by one.

"Would you like to look through other vases, there are so many vases here, maybe you might have misplaced them." Qu Ruo asked seeing Wei Lige's anxious expression, so he could only suggest the most clumsy method.

"That's the only way to go." Wei Lige sighed, his eyes were full of forced anxiety.

"Second Young Master——Second Young Madam—a message from the front, someone is coming from the palace, and I want you to go and receive the order!" Huan Huan said outside the main house.

Wei Lige and Qu Ruowen looked at each other and nodded.

Wei Lige said solemnly: "Since my father said so, he won't miss it. Don't say anything about it beforehand. When my father is in better health, I will discuss it with him. Let's go to receive the order first."

Qu Ruowen thought so too, and nodded.

When Wei Lige turned his head and put down the vase in his hand, he let out a deep breath. From the corner of his eye, he saw the white vase in the corner directly through the hollow shelf.

When Wei Lige and Qu Ruowen arrived, there were already many people sitting in the main hall of the Wei family. The one sitting in the first seat was not Wei Youping's original wife, Mrs. Ma, but the second wife, Chen Huaifang, who was in charge of the affairs of the mansion. Sitting side by side with Chen Huaifang turned out to be Xian Wang Yan Qianlu.

When Yan Qianlu saw the two people standing side by side hand in hand, he smiled slightly, very serious, but there was clearly a hint of narrowness in his eyes when they first met.

"Miss Wei Er, is everyone in the mansion together?"

"Back to King Xian, Master is inconvenient and can't get out of bed. Everyone else has already arrived." Chen Huaifang replied respectfully.

"Okay, let's declare the decree."

Next to Yan Qianlu stood a palace servant, holding a bright yellow scroll in his hand, Qu Ruowen was no stranger.

Immediately, everyone in the main hall knelt down on the ground, all looking down at the ground. At this moment, Yan Qianlu had no time to wink at the two of them.

Qu Ruowen was full of black threads, she had already experienced Yan Qianlu's character, and Wei Lige was almost like Wei Lige, although she was not from the Wei family, she didn't need to come to show her face, but she said it in front of the emperor, and she can still do it now. Pretending to be innocent?

"My lady, the ground is cold, be careful of your knees." She was about to kneel down, Wei Lige hurriedly reached out to help her, and accompanied her kneeling thoughtfully, there was an uproar.

"Cough cough, be quiet." Yan Qianlu coughed lightly, and cast a sideways glance at Wei Lige, telling him to keep himself a little quieter at this moment.

"Following the imperial decree of Chengyun, the Wei family's rice grain poisoned the common people. Wei Youping, a grain merchant, should be punished for his crime. However, his second daughter-in-law, Qu Ruowen, exchanged the gold medal for exempting from death. The three prefectures of Quanzhou, Wanzhou and Yangzhou have suffered casualties, and from now on, every month every fifteenth day, they will give porridge to the people to show gratitude to the mighty grace of heaven, and hereby—"

"What? Every year?" Chen Huaifang thought she heard it wrong, she immediately turned to Wei Lige, "Didn't you say that only today..."

"Long live my emperor!" Wei Lige responded loudly, his voice overshadowing Chen Huaifang's words behind him, "Brother, hurry up and accept the imperial edict."

The person who received the imperial decree was always the only family member. Now that Wei Youping is not around, he can only be replaced by his son. Wei Lige knew that Chen Huaifang cared about this, so he simply let it go. Moreover, after receiving the imperial decree, every [-]th day of the porridge would be given out. Any matter, it all falls on them, and has nothing to do with him.

Chen Huaifang stared at Wei Lige bitterly, as if being teased, but Wei Lige didn't even look at her, and ignored her.

"Who of you will accept the order?" The servant held the imperial order, and none of the kneeling people came up, so he couldn't help urging, this is already a great kindness, but it is so disrespectful.

"Brother, if you don't accept the order, I will." Wei Lige urged.

"The grassroots accept the order." Wei Fengliu stood up tremblingly, and took the imperial order from the servant. Chen Huaifang gritted his teeth as he watched.

After Yan Qianlu finished the matter, he didn't seem to want to stay for a private chat, so Wei Lige could only send him out, and Qu Ruowen accompanied him.

"I've heard about the death-free gold medal, what are you going to do?" Wei Lige asked when no one was around.

Yan Qianlu chuckled, and took out a gold medal from his waist, with the word "free" on it.

"This..." Wei Lige and Qu Ruowen looked at each other, thinking that they had misread, but they couldn't believe it when they saw it in each other's eyes.

"Brother Huang knew the twists and turns, so he returned the gold medal for avoiding death." Yan Qianlu explained the ins and outs.

In this way, Wei Lige and Qu Ruowen could also breathe a sigh of relief, after all, if the death-prevention gold medal is lost, it is a capital offense.It's just that Yan Qianyi didn't expect that Yan Qianyi would understand the tricks and return the gold medal for avoiding death to Yan Qianlu.

Wei Lige sent Yan Qianlu to the carriage, and the two whispered to each other, the atmosphere was a bit weird, they both glanced at Qu Ruowen at the same time, Wei Lige showed a refreshing smile, a bit embarrassed Qu Ruowen twitched unconsciously, and the ambiguous look in Yan Qianlu's eyes became more intense.

What are these two talking about?Qu Ruowen stood on the steps and couldn't hear the conversation between the two, so he felt that it must be a bad thing.

After sending Yan Qianlu away, the next step is to go to the mansion to face Chen Huaifang and the others to explain the matter clearly.

"Why didn't you tell the truth?" Qu Ruo asked after Yan Qianlu left.

"According to my second mother's temperament, if I know that it will be like this every year and every month in the future, today's progress will not be so smooth. Now let's pass this test first, and next month, my father should be able to control the situation. It's none of my business." Wei Lige told Qu Ruowen what was in his mind, but Qu Ruowen remained silent, whether Wei Youping can continue to be in charge of the Wei family's affairs is yet to be determined, and once the eldest son of the Wei family is in charge, he may come and meet Cut corners, perfunctory, easy to be caught.

"The current test has passed, but the next test after entering must still be waiting." Qu Ruo asked, thinking about the appearance of such a large group of people raising their teachers to ask their sins, thinking about it, she should stay away, she did not participate necessary.

"Don't worry about it, let them wait. It's a headache to hear too much. I've prepared the carriage. Let's go." Wei Lige blew a whistle, and a fine horse ran out of the alley and stopped. In front of the gate of Wei's house.

"Let's go? Where are you going?" Qu Ruo asked puzzled.

"Of course..." Originally, Wei Lige wanted to take Qu Ruowen back to Qu's house, but it was rare for Qu Ruowen to consider him, so he couldn't let such a good opportunity go to waste, and the words he was about to say suddenly changed, "The Grain Shop I inspected it, and today the grain store reopens for business, I wonder if the people in the capital will be afraid, and if the business will be sluggish."

Qu Ruowen didn't see through Wei Lige's flamboyance, and he was still focused on the Wei family's business: "It's true, after such an incident, the grain shop will be affected to some extent, but it's only temporary, it's all about this." After the turmoil of the incident has passed, the Wei family's status as an imperial merchant will not be shaken."

Wei Lige hugged Qu Ruowen onto the steed, and rolled up with him, and the two of them sat down in an instant.

"Wei Lige, where are you going, come back to me, and tell me what's going on." In Wei's mansion, Chen Huaifang came striding forward with the support of a maid, holding the hem of her skirt. After not seeing Wei Lige's figure for a long time, he rushed out to see if Wei Lige had escaped.Not wanting to be expected by her, Wei Lige had no intention of paying attention to Chen Huaifang at all.

"Er Niang, I'll leave the matter in the mansion to you first. I'll go to the grain shop first. Uncle Bian just sent someone back to say that something happened there." After finishing speaking, Wei Lige hugged Qu Ruoqian tightly. Waist and belly, kicking the horse's belly, had already rode the horse past, and disappeared at the gate of Wei's house, leaving Chen Huaifang in a panic.

"You can really act on your own will." Thinking of Chen Huaifang's look of wanting to take off his shoes and throw them at Wei Lige, Qu Ruowen burst out laughing.

"What's so funny? Don't say it's nothing, there must be something funny?" Wei Lige saw that there was no shadow of Wei's family behind him, so he slowed down his galloping speed, pulled the reins and walked slowly, while still not forgetting to ask .

"I won't tell you." Qu Ruowen saw that Wei Lige was so confident, he couldn't help but whet his appetite.

The corners of Wei Lige's mouth raised slightly, and he gave a wicked smile.

"Speak or not?"
In the public, Wei Lige actually gave her such a trick, she really didn't expect it, maybe after getting along for a long time, she even forgot Wei Lige's name of Liufeng, no matter in broad daylight or in the middle of the night in the dark, Wei Lige What Song wants to do is not just talk.

Qu Ruowen quickly grabbed Wei Lige's hand, held it tightly, and tilted his whole body to the left to avoid Wei Lige's approach, but stuck to Wei Lige's chest tightly.

"Isn't this Young Master Chun?"

"Yes, yes, who is the woman in his arms?

Qu Ruowen paid attention to Wei Lige's actions, and didn't notice the surrounding situation at all. When she heard some movement, the horse was already walking in the field of fireworks.

There is a brothel on both sides of the street, the girls upstairs and downstairs are flirting with silk scarves, at the moment they are all very quiet, staring at Wei Lige and her.

Hearing the cheers from both sides, Wei Lige raised the corners of his lips into a smile. Immediately, there were exclamations from both sides, and a group of Yingying and Yanyan began to quarrel.

Qu Ruowen drooped her shoulders, looking very powerless, why did she forget that Wei Lige's name is everywhere in Qi country, as long as there is a brothel, there will be Wei Lige's reputation, there may be more romance Love debt.

Thinking of this, Qu Ruowen lowered her head, hoping that no one would recognize her, and that everyone wouldn't yell and beat her like a mouse crossing the street in the future.
