First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 438 A Lot of Troublesome Things

As soon as Wei Ling said this, someone at the scene said loudly, "Who knows if your Zhenbei Marquis was just saying it in front of so many people!"

Su Jixiang looked into the crowd and quickly locked onto a man.

He looked very short and was inconspicuous in the crowd. If there were more people, he would be almost hidden. However, he was a beggar and was too dirty, so the people standing around him were kind of deliberately forcing him closer, which made him stand out among so many people.

Seeing Su Jixiang looking at him, he quickly shrank behind someone else.

Su Jixiang gave Lushui a look, and Lushui understood. While everyone's attention was on Wei Ling, she quietly disappeared into the crowd.

"Well, that's a fair question." Wei Ling looked at the chattering people around him and said loudly, "Today, I, the Marquis of Zhenbei, will make this clear. This case has nothing to do with our Zhenbei Mansion, so no matter what happens, our Zhenbei Mansion will not interfere. This woman can just file a complaint. She's already in the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, and even if the case goes to the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple for a joint trial, our Zhenbei Mansion will not interfere in the slightest."

"We believe in Marquis Zhenbei!" Someone in the crowd shouted.

Su Jixiang turned around and saw that Wei Jing was gone.

She lowered her eyes silently, thinking that Wei Jing was most likely asking someone to say this.

The couple have been together for so long that they can basically guess what each other is thinking.

Just now she asked Lushui to find the beggar, and Wei Ling also signaled Wei Jing to create public opinion.

Although whoever has the loudest voice is not necessarily right, when most people are deceived, whoever has the loudest voice can indeed gain the upper hand!

Wei Jing took the lead in shouting, and sure enough, many people in the crowd echoed him.

"Everyone has already gone in. Let's disperse first. I believe the Jingzhao Yinfu will definitely get to the bottom of it." Wei Ling said to the people around him.

Wei Jing also shouted from the crowd, "Disperse, disperse, go do what you need to do, there's no gold to dig here!"

After the crowd gathered in front of the Jingzhao Yin Mansion gradually dispersed, Wei Ling shook Su Jixiang's hand, waved to call for the carriage of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, and quickly took Su Jixiang on the carriage.

"Wei Jing will go back on his own later." Wei Ling said to Su Jixiang, "Lu Shui must have gone to look for the person who started the trouble."

Su Jixiang nodded.

"Then let's go back first." Wei Ling asked the driver to go back to the house.

"Is that person really Ruan?" Su Jixiang did not question why Wei Ling and Wei Chengwu did not tell her about their marriage, but asked this instead.

"If I haven't seen her face, it's probably the same," Wei Ling said. "After all, this matter has become so serious that Ruan Shi can't survive. It's also possible that Ruan Shi has escaped death. I will send people to investigate. Don't worry."

After he finished speaking, he held Su Jixiang's hand and said, "I didn't tell you about my relationship with Wei Chengwu before. Aren't you angry?"

"You will say it when you want to." Su Jixiang said with a smile.

Wei Ling stared into Su Jixiang's eyes and sighed softly, "Madam is really considerate of me. I just didn't want you to think I was so heartless, so I didn't tell you about my arbitrary marriage with Wei Cheng for the time being. You also know that besides him and me, there are not many people left in my Wei family. I trusted him very much, but what he did really made me dare not recognize him as a relative anymore!"

Su Jixiang looked at Wei Ling's eyes filled with a hint of sadness, and his heart softened.

There are only a few members of the Wei family left, and Wei Ling truly regards Wei Chengwu as his own great-uncle, so he leaves all matters in the capital, no matter how big or small, to Wei Chengwu, and he doesn't even ask about him on weekdays. But Wei Chengwu tricked Wei Ling, and if you put yourself in his shoes, you will realize that Wei Ling is indeed sad and indignant.

He has lost too many relatives, and Wei Chengwu was killed by his own hands. How could he not feel pain in his heart?

"Why do you think I think you are heartless?" Su Jixiang asked softly.

"After all, I'm so cruel as to cut off ties with even the few relatives I have left!" Wei Ling's eyelashes trembled slightly, and there was a rare fragility in his voice. "I'm afraid that after you know it, you will think I'm heartless and want to persuade me. You know I always listen to you, but Wei Chengwu treated me like this, I really don't want to recognize him as my uncle anymore, so I asked him to add a clause when we were negotiating. If you can persuade me to forgive him again, I won't be able to break off the relationship. I don't want him to do anything else, so I'm keeping it from you. After all, I won't go against your wishes."

"How could I try to dissuade you from making your decision? Besides, it was Wei Chengwu who wronged you first." Su Jixiang gently stroked Wei Ling's cheek and said slowly, "I don't think you're heartless. After all, everything you did was right. It's better not to have such relatives. Although there are only a few people left in the Wei family, we can't let such people take advantage of us."

Wei Ling pulled Su Jixiang into his arms and sighed softly, "I shouldn't have kept this from you. I won't act on my own in the future. Can you please forgive me this time?"

"I'm not angry!" Su Jixiang said with a smile. "Just don't keep things to yourself anymore. Since you and I are husband and wife, we should work together."

"Well, I was wrong this time. This won't happen again." Wei Ling gently placed his chin on Su Jixiang's head and said softly, "I promise."

"I believe you!" Su Jixiang smiled. She raised her head, held Wei Ling's handsome face, and gently kissed him on the cheek.

This action was like stirring up the underground fire. Wei Ling's eyes darkened, and he pulled Su Jixiang into his arms and kissed her fiercely.

After a long time, the two separated breathlessly. Wei Ling gently stroked Su Jixiang's lips, which were slightly red from his kiss, with the tip of his thumb. He sighed, "If we were not in the carriage, Madam would look very different now." His voice was hoarse and dark, echoing softly in Su Jixiang's ears, making half of Su Jixiang's body numb from his breath.

"Be serious!" Su Jixiang rolled his eyes at him and said angrily.

"If it's not serious, it wouldn't be like this!" Wei Ling said lightly.

Su Jixiang...

"Madam, I'm sorry!" Wei Ling held Su Jixiang in front of him and sighed. "I'm afraid this capital city has disappointed you. It's far from what it used to be!"

Before returning to the capital, Wei Ling had boasted to Su Jixiang about how fun the capital was, but now that he has really returned to the capital, it seems that all he encounters are bad things!
