Chapter 143 Jealousy
Everyone was happy when Bai Zhao came back.
The others were helping with the cooking, so for the moment no one questioned how he had caught up.
Even Jiang Lan looked listless, lying lazily on the ox cart without moving.
Chang Bo nudged Wei Li twice with his elbow and said, "Okay, don't worry, I'm back."
When Wei Liu looked over, Chang Bo quickly retracted his gaze and dragged Wei Li to help the cook.
Wei Liu didn't care. After arranging everything, he came to Bai Jingzhi's family of three.
"Are you in no danger?" Wei Liu asked casually when he saw Bai Zhao.
"It was a close call, and I managed to get away with it."
For a moment, the atmosphere between the four of them was eerily quiet.
Wei Hongmian has no memories of her original self, and the records in her diary are incomplete. She can only guess about some things.
Originally, she didn't have to participate, but Bai Jingzhi forced her to come.
There was a misunderstanding between the original Bai Zhao and the original Wei Hongmian.
Since Bai Zhao has the problem of losing control of his mind, Wei Hongmian is very likely to encounter it as well.
It would be better to take advantage of this opportunity to resolve those potential concerns at once.
The four of them were not far from the rest area, so Bai Zhao didn't beat around the bush and spoke frankly.
"Uncle Six, the person who took me away this time was Lin Chrom. Do you remember?"
Wei Liu put his hand under his chin, and just as he was about to touch his beard, he remembered that his beard was gone, and put his hand down in embarrassment.
"The classmate who attended the banquet with you back then? If it was this person, of course I would have an impression of him. He once came to ask for the hand of my cousin Xiang Lian'er."
This time it was Bai Zhao's turn to get upset, "He also asked to marry Xiang Lian'er? They are indeed birds of a feather."
Bai Zhao told them the news he got from Lin Ge, "I failed repeatedly because someone was trying to trick me."
He slowly recalled these things while staying in the space villa.
"Being tricked? How is that possible! Your father-in-law is the governor of Lingzhou. Who dares to play tricks under his nose?"
Wei Liu didn't believe it. The Wei family had been doing business in Lingzhou for many years, so how could anyone not give face to the Wei family?
Bai Zhao didn't believe it at first, until he carefully looked through the original body's memories and came up with a guess.
"It was Xiang Lian'er who did it. At that time, she had already established herself in the harem and was made a concubine because of her son's status as a mother."
The original body was smart since childhood, had a photographic memory, and was extremely talented.
Moreover, the two were very sweet for a while after their marriage. It was after Wei Hongmian became pregnant that the original body discovered something was wrong.
There were all kinds of problems in their family, and the original owner became suspicious, so he took advantage of the situation and pretended that he couldn't forget the old love.
He and Lin Fuer had been in a relationship for more than ten years, but in fact nothing happened.
One time, Lin Fuer let it slip that she told him not to take the imperial examinations anymore because it would be useless.
Sure enough, every time he went to take an exam, he would always have health problems at the end.
I always get diarrhea at the last minute.
No matter how careful the original body is, it will always fall into the trap.
At that time, he couldn't help but suspect that someone was secretly making trouble.
He couldn't tell Wei Shou about these things in detail.
Wei Shou treated the original body well, but other members of the Wei family looked down on him.
The original owner's self-esteem got in the way, so he planned to investigate on his own, but he didn't expect that the investigation would take more than ten years.
In the end, his studies fell by the wayside.
As for the original body's friends, he also found out their details. Those people had received a sum of money from their families, and they would get more money as long as they could lead the original body to those shameful places.
Bai Zhao stared at Wei Hongmian without moving his eyes. "Mianmian, Lin Fuer and I have no relationship at all. We were just pretending. After we get married, you are the only one in my heart."
"I have doubled back all the money that Lin Fuer cheated me of over the years from Qian Yuan. It's in that little box."
"This time I left with Lin Fuer. On the surface, it was an elopement, but in fact, I wanted to infiltrate the mastermind behind the scenes."
"The mastermind has long wanted to kill you, and you take chronic poison every day. But I know you have medical skills, so your life won't be in danger."
"I can't feel at ease until the mastermind behind this is eliminated, Mianmian, that person is coming for you."
......
Bai Zhao said a lot in one breath, telling all the things he suspected.
Wei Hongmian later fainted and Bai Zhao supported him.
The couple opened their hearts to each other, but in this way.
Bai Jingzhi showed suspicion. Could it be that what the scumbag just said was not what he wanted to say?
There are so many things going on here, and things are becoming more and more complicated.
Bai Jingzhi was a little unsure whether the original Bai Zhao was a good person or a bastard.
Before Bai Zhao expressed his feelings, he had already briefly explained the matter of Lin Ge.
"Sixth Grandfather, what exactly did Concubine Lian want? Why did she attack our family?"
Bai Jingzhi now couldn't figure out Xiang Lian'er's thoughts.
In her opinion, Concubine Lian had a son and was a popular candidate for the throne, so why would she destroy her own moat and wipe out the Wei family?
Wei Liu sighed, "I didn't expect Xiang Lian'er to be such a petty person. Your grandpa was wrong after all."
"Why?"
"She is jealous of your mother!"
Wei Liu’s words made Bai Jingzhi even more confused.
Wei Hongmian was born into a legitimate family, and the Wei family had not had a legitimate daughter for many years.
She is naturally the apple of everyone's eye.
"She was the one who had the evil intention to enter the palace in the first place, why did it still happen?"
Bai Jing had learned some of Concubine Lian's past from Wei Liu some time ago.
She really didn't expect that Concubine Lian, who was full of conspiracies and tricks, would go after her success and deal with her sisters.
"She is jealous of your mother. She is loved by her father and brothers and protected by her husband. But she has nothing and is despised by her lover for being an orphan."
Wei Liu could guess Xiang Lian'er's thoughts. After all, Wei Hongmian had been in trouble many times, which attracted Wei Shou's attention.
He was ordered to investigate and found out some things.
When I sent her into the palace, I was planning to let her fend for herself.
What a pity, one wrong step will lead to all the wrong steps.
The Wei family eventually fell into the hands of this man.
"We, the Wei family, cannot blame others for our mistake. Jingzhi, remember that this person is accustomed to using blood ties to cling to you. Don't be soft-hearted."
Bai Jingzhi nodded, "Of course, she has brought such harm to my family, I can't just let it go. Sooner or later, she will become my prisoner."
After saying this, Bai Jing was stunned. These were not her emotions.
Could it be... the will of the original owner of this body?
"Sixth Grandpa, can you ask someone to investigate Lin Chromium's case?"
Wei Liu still has some resources in his hands, so Bai Jingzhi naturally wants to make the best use of them.
Lin Ge is a man with deep scheming. If we can use him to gain some benefits, it will be a way to vent the anger of the former Bai Zhao.
"Okay, I'll arrange it later, but it will take a little longer." Wei Liu said, and left with his hands behind his back.
Bai Jingzhi and the others walked away and squatted down to check on Wei Hongmian. "Mom, are you okay? Stop pretending."
