Beautiful step by step

Chapter 156

Before the distraught Wei Wei realized the intention of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion's invitation, the thing she had been dreading every day finally came.

Yan Heng, who used the most efficient and brutal means to drive out the Oirat enemy army in the Northwest, was impeached. The military plane was missed; in addition to this, what is more serious is that there are faint voices saying that he deliberately leaked the military plane.

Fortunately, years ago, the Northwest won the battle and everyone wanted to have a peaceful year.But after a happy and peaceful Spring Festival passed, the court no longer had any scruples.

The endless disputes in the court could not control Yan Heng, but after the disputes, the decision was: arraignment and investigation.

When Gou Shuli came early in the morning, the people working under the Ministry of Punishment found him very efficiently.

It was Wei Wei's first experience of what it means to destroy a home. When you were sitting comfortably in a warm room, suddenly a group of uniformed officers and soldiers came in and escorted away the pillars of your home without saying a word.Even if he is found innocent, there is great hope that he will make it out unscathed.But after experiencing that moment herself, she still felt a sense of panic and bewilderment.

"What are you going to do?"

The official from the Ministry of Punishment was very polite, and said with a smile: "Madam Yan, don't worry, we just ask Mrs. Yan to ask some questions."

Even though the meaning in his words is very light, Wei Wei only cares about the main points.

"When does he come back?"

"I'll come back when I'm done asking."

"You give me a promise."

Under her eager questioning, the officials from the Ministry of Punishment who came over lost their patience a little bit, their faces were full of authority, and they said solemnly: "Mrs. Yan, we are also following orders, so don't interfere with our official duties."

"I'm also an official of the imperial court..." Before she could say the second half of the sentence, she was interrupted by Yan Heng.

"Ah, don't worry, just as my uncle told me when I came here, some things should be clarified earlier, so as to save everyone from misunderstanding and arguing all the time."

uncle?When did Uncle Wei say this?Although he was puzzled, the tacit understanding that the husband and wife had cultivated for so long made Wei Wei calm down.Thinking deeply, suddenly she thought of something.Before coming here, Yan Heng had said that Uncle Wei had contacted several old and close friends in the capital. Could it be that there was some story behind this?
"Then listen to uncle?"

She could slow down when she said the word "uncle". Sure enough, she saw Yan Heng nodding.Seeing this, Wei Wei, who still felt that his eyes were smeared, suddenly had a clue. It is true that because of Yan Heng's special experience, they have no foundation in the capital.But the Wei family has, although several generations have passed away from Wei Xiang, the huge energy of Wei Xiang back then can still bless future generations.

Grasp this relationship and work hard, maybe they can find a way.

"I'm going to trouble my mother to take care of Ah Mao during this time. She is weak, so she needs to pay extra attention. It's fine when you're at home. If you go out, you must be more careful."

Yan Heng sincerely begged, and at the end he glanced thoughtfully at the invitation in Mother Wei's hand.It's really nothing for him to go to the Ministry of Punishment, not to mention the current trust of the emperor, even the legacy of his great-grandfather can at least save his life.But when Ah Mao went to Zhenbei Hou's Mansion, he thought that before leaving Beijing two years ago, he entrusted the imperial physician to give Wu Shi a big menopause. He thought that it would always make her lose her life, but Wu Shi gave birth to a son safely at the end of last summer, and it has not been reported yet. The news of the death came, something must have happened.If Wu Jiashun finds out this, will it be detrimental to Ah Mao who is also pregnant?
Thinking of this, he simply didn't want to be tricky, and said directly: "Mother also knows how Mrs. Shizi treats Ah Mao, so be especially careful when you meet her."

Seeing Mother Wei's solemn response, he nodded at the officials of the Ministry of Punishment with confidence.

Just after getting ready, I heard a stopping voice from behind: "Slow down."

"Mrs. Yan..." The official of the Ministry of Punishment turned around impatiently, and saw a petite body behind him carrying a pile of furs.

Walking quickly into the bedroom, Wei Wei took out the coat that Yan Heng wore when they set off from Liangzhou.Compared with the capital city, it is cold and windy in the northwest, so these warm clothes are made extra thick.Not to mention the warmest bearskin on the outside of this jacket, the inner lining is made of whole sheepskin without splicing.It is expensive to make, but it has an excellent cold resistance effect when wrapped.

"It's cold outside, Ah Heng put on this before leaving, I'll wait for you to come back at home."

After taking the coat, Yan Heng thought about it, and solemnly said two words: "Wait for me."

Watching him walk out the door, Wei Wei's shoulders drooped.

Wei's mother came over, her eyes showed distress and she said: "Now you are a person with two bodies, no more than before, so you have to pay more attention. Auntie, it's not mother who said that Brother Heng is good in everything, the only bad thing is The place is to be in a high position at a young age. What kind of place is the officialdom? To put it bluntly, it is dirtier and more dangerous than a muddy swamp. You have no foundation at a young age, but you climb too high, and you will be unstable if there is a turmoil."

Is this comforting her?Or is it just adding trouble to her?

Wei Wei sighed, "Why don't I understand this truth."

"Understood, what are you worried about?"

Wei Wei was a little confused: "Should I not be worried?"

"Of course not," Wei's mother said with a matter-of-fact expression, "Ah Mao only sees the danger of an unstable foundation, why don't you think about how Brother Heng got to this point without a stable foundation? Look at the willow tree in our yard , Only when the root system is deep can the branches and leaves flourish. But if you look carefully at the dodder that has been coiled up from the trunk of the willow tree, why can it climb so high because of the slender branches and unstable root system? It is not something to rely on. People live in the world, no matter what It’s a matter of real talent and practical learning, or using other people’s influence to climb to a high place. Both results are the same, and both can see the same scenery.”

"Something to depend on? Ah Heng's dependence is..."

The eyes looking out of the window raised their heads, and saw the sky outside the window through the window lattice.The sky in early spring was not pure blue, but slightly gray. A gust of northwest wind blew in, making the sky look a bit mysterious, which reminded her of Emperor Qinglong's inclusive and deep eyes that seemed to see through everything.

"emperor."

These two words startled even Wei's mother. Although she was a errand in front of the old matriarch of the Hou's mansion, she was a little knowledgeable, and she could calm down when encountering major events, but now she only guessed that Brother Heng climbed so fast and settled down. Someone set up a ladder.Based on what she saw and heard, she thought that this ladder was the Mansion of Marquis of Literature and History behind Concubine Shu, and the mansion of Marquis of Literature and History, which had been undefeated for thousands of years, was also a very stable backer. She was relieved thinking of this.

But according to what my daughter said, the backer behind Brother Heng turned out to be the emperor?

"If that's the case, then this ladder is a heavenly ladder."

It is not a sky beyond the sky, but a sky that reaches the sky in one step.Thinking of this, she said again: "Since there is such a relationship, what else does Ah Mao worry about?"

Yes, what is she worrying about?Wei Wei was a little puzzled, if she said she didn't think of it before, but Yan Heng clearly said it many times in secret.But at that time he was still by my side, although she was worried, she didn't want to accept the reality.

"He is still by my side", thinking of this, she felt a sense of enlightenment, so it was because of this?Because Yan Heng was by her side, she was safe, and the sense of security made her instinctively resist the fact that he might leave next.But she was not such a person before. She has always been very rational. She never worries about problems first, but finds out the specific situation at the first time and then thinks about the countermeasures.But now the first thing she thinks about is that she can release her emotions to the fullest with such a person by her side.

Since when did she become so dependent on Yan Heng?

"What's the matter? Why did you start crying when you're doing well? You can't cry when you're pregnant. It's not good for the child, and what's worse, it hurts your body. If you cry out from crying, you will suffer for the rest of your life." of."

Listening to Wei's mother comforting and threatening, Wei Wei also wanted to stop.But now the eyes are like a broken faucet, letting the tears flow down uncontrollably, forming a stream on the face.

"Mother," throwing herself into Wei's mother's arms, Wei Wei sobbed, "As soon as Ah Heng left, I panicked. Obviously I wasn't like this before, so am I useless now?"

Wei's mother was so worried before, but hearing her daughter say this made her feel at ease.

"Silly girl, this has nothing to do with being useless. It's clear that your brain has opened up. Mother has watched you over the years. Although you look like this, you are a man who wants to hold it in your hand when you see it, but you have a bad attitude. Losing a man is so stubborn. I still remember that when you reached the height of the table, you delivered ginseng soup to the old lady on a snowy day, and when you walked in outside with snow on your feet and crossed the threshold, you fell down and hit the back of your head in a daze. On the ground. It hurts me to hear that sound, but you stand up and don’t say a word, stand up first and apologize.”

She was like that when she was young, but as she grows up day by day, her temper becomes stronger and stronger.Until this time in Youzhou, seeing her daughter doing those things, and faintly aware of her thoughts, Mother Wei, who knows her daughter Mo Ruomu, was startled.Not only is she so strong, but she also wants all the women in the world to stand up.In good conscience, this is not a bad thing, but this idea is too shocking.

"You and Ah Heng are husband and wife, and you should trust each other and rely on each other. Mother has been watching for two years, Brother Heng doesn't say that you can choose one in a thousand, and you can't find someone better than him in a thousand people. Relying on such a person, It's not a bad thing."

Following Wei's mother's words, Wei Wei gradually became less shocked.After calming down, she also accepted the fact that Yan Heng was called away by the Ministry of Criminal Justice and is not by his side now.When he was by his side, she could hide under his wings, and now without him, she can stand up and face the truth by herself.

Wiping her tears, she looked at the invitation on the table.This invitation was sent in the name of the old matriarch Feng, saying that she missed her two years away from Beijing, and invited her to go to the mansion to have a lively and lively time.

No matter how she is today, no matter how high a position she has set foot on, she did work as a maid in the Zhenbeihou Mansion before.The Hou Mansion treated her well, and before she got married, she had asked Mrs. Liu to be her guest of honor, so she should also pay a visit after she came to Beijing.

Although Yan Heng had warned her to be careful before leaving, she would not refuse to do some things that should be done.Almost the moment Wei Wei received the invitation, she had already started thinking about what gift to give, but now after opening the invitation, the first line of address made her frown.
