The Princess Wei Yang

Chapter 45



Chapter 45: Taking control of the game

Da Furen suddenly stood up: “Chang Le, how can you speak such nonsense!” As she spoke, she quickly shot her a warning glance and Li Chang Le was stunned as the pearl on her golden hair clasp icily froze. She almost forgot how to breathe until moments later when she finally reacted: “Sanmei, it is all Dajie’s fault, you have been wronged!”

Watching their performance, Li Wei Yang couldn’t help it and shook her head. This type of fickle, two-faced personality, how could she have been that stupid in her previous life, it’s not their acting that was good but it was her who desired family so they were able to deceive her.

Witnessing the scene, Tuoba Zhen frowned. What was happening?

Li Min Feng has always boasted his own intelligence and has never met with such setbacks, his face gradually reddened and he said: “The people who were sent to search haven’t returned yet ---“

He, at this point, obviously was hoping Zi Yan made a single slip-up and that the things placed in Li Wei Yang’s quarters would still be found!

At this moment, Luo Mama led her people in, she bowed to Lao Furen and said: “Lao Furen, Lao Ye, San Xiaojie’s residence is very clean, there were nothing that we found suspicious.”

Li Min Feng’s complexion changed for the worse. On the side, Da Furen quickly rose and then slowly sat back down. She suddenly realized her pair of children has been put upon by Li Wei Yang!

Li Wei Yang smiled, her smile was splendid like flowers blooming in the spring, her body deflected a hopeful light making others difficult to direct their gazes elsewhere: “Da ge, don’t you think it’s weird, why is it that you ordered Zi Yan to furtively switch the tea I brewed for Lao Furen but in the end it wasn’t suzi, why is it that Zi Yan actually placed red ginseng and the gold in my residence yet they could not be found?”

“Li Wei Yang, you are making unfounded claims1!” Li Min Feng was very furious that he shouted those words.

“Dage, you thought you did a seamless job, but do you know, in this world there are no secrets2.” Li Wei Yang calmly said: “I can only hope to see if Lao Furen and father will give Wei Yang justice. If father takes side with Da ge, then Wei Yang can pretend nothing has happened.”

Nothing has happened? Now that San Huangzi and the physician were here, how could he pretend nothing has hap

pened? Li Xiao Ran’s brows furrowed to the point that it could be knotted.

Li Min Feng felt regretful, he realized that the sister in front of him wasn’t as stupid as he thought she would be; he thought this small trick can make her die without a burial place. The person that he personally invited was now his biggest obstacle, because there were outsiders present, his father couldn’t be impartial! He originally was afraid that Lao Furen would prevent him from punishing Li Wei Yang, now this has turned against him! Li Min Feng wanted to angrily gnaw away his teeth: “Wei Yang, what do you mean with those words, when did I wrong you, Chang Le just made a mistake and thought red ginseng was suzi, for the sake of Lao Furen’s health, I accidentally mistaken you, if you still feel discomfort, I can pour you tea and ask for your forgiveness, there is no need to force father.”

“Li Wei Yang laughed, she said: “Pour tea and ask for my forgiveness? It was Dage who said repeatedly that if it is proven that Wei Yang was wrong, then she should be kicked out of the Li family, but now it has been proven that Dage was wrong, shouldn’t it be Dage who should be kicked out of the family?”

Li Xiao Ran coughed and said: “Wei Yang, your Da ge and Da jie were just worried about Lao Furen ---“

Li Wei Yang looked at Li Xiao Ran, a hint of chill gradually revealed on her face: “Father, Wei Yang doesn’t mean to force anyone, daughter only feels wronged, why is it that I wholeheartedly serve Lao Furen but can still be wronged by others? Yes, Wei Yang’s status can’t be compared to Dajie and Dage’s noble statuses, but Wei Yang treats Lao Furen, father, and mother with respect, how can father blindly say to kick Wei Yang out of the family?”

At this point, he was rendered speechless by Li Wei Yang3.

She continued: “Father, Wei Yang did not grow up by your side, but I have yearned to see you for years because Wei Yang believed no matter what happened we are still father and daughter, you would definitely protect Wei Yang, take my side and won’t let others harm me ---“

Li Xiao Ran felt shock within his heart, looking at his daughter’s delicate yet mournful face suddenly made him realize his impartiality went overboard.

Lao Furen has actually understood everything, she spoke: “Wei Yang, if you felt wronged, then tell grandmother, if what you say is rational, I will definitely speak for you.”

Li Wei Yang heavily thanked Lao Furen and said afterwards: “Da ge has a witness, Wei Yang also does, I ask that Lao Furen allow Wei Yang to

summon the witness.”

Lao Furen nodded and Li Wei Yang ordered Lu Xin to summon the person outside to enter.

As expected, after a while, Lu Xin bought in a tall and skinny, middle-aged man. Once he entered, he greeted everyone and on his face appeared to be an expression that wanted to flatter others.

Li Wei Yang only looked at him once and then calmly said: “Da ge, do you recognize him?”

Li Min Feng smiled and said: “What is he, how would I know him!”

Li Wei Yang glanced at Tuoba Zhen, her eyes revealed slight coolness: “Of course, Da ge are only acquainted with royalty and nobles, so he would definitely be unable to recall a mere shopkeeper of Zhang Medicinal Shop. You don’t recognize him but he still remembers you. Shopkeeper Gao, please speak the truth.”

Shopkeeper Gao’s face showed uncertainty but he eventually opened his mouth to speak: “Two days ago, a person who seemed to be a servant came to my medicinal shop and specifically asked for suzi. Because this is not often used, I thought it was odd so I asked about its usage but I got scolded instead. That person also gave me a piece of gold and told me if people asked about this I should say it was the prime minister’s San Xiaojie who requested them; he also told me to say that San Xiaojie would also come here every month to sell red ginseng.”

Li Min Feng’s heart froze, he originally viewed Li Wei Yang as a mere wench, he never thought she would be this difficult to handle so he simply asked his servant to do the work; he did take preventative measures to ensure the second and third household from getting ahold of evidence, he deliberately avoid sending his servant to their own medicinal shop and chose one that wasn’t too eye-catching. Who would have known they could still make a small mistake. He coldly looked at Shopkeeper Gao, he said: “A mouth full of rubbish, do you really not want your tongue!”

Shopkeeper Gao couldn’t understand the fights within the aristocratic household, he remained where he was and revealed uncertainty of where he was at fault.

Li Xiao Ran frowned: “Since you received gold to accuse San Xiaojie, then why are you testifying for San Xiaojie?”

Shopkeeper Gao’s face was filled with joy but he remained silent.

Li Wei Yang lightly smiled: “He is a businessman, of course, profits are the most important. Because I gave him two pieces of gold, he would speak the truth, Da ge, what else do you want to say now?”
