Reborn Lady - Chapter 408
The government’s investigation focused on the Liao family, while Wei Luo’s focus lay on the individuals who had accompanied the old man to Jiangnan at that time. These individuals were acquainted with both the old man and Liao Shisan, thus possessing the potential to surmise something significant about the situation.
Chang Feng was still investigating when his father called him over.
“What do you want to investigate?” King Yan asked straight to the point.
Wei Luo glanced at his father and said, “Investigate the cause of Lao Yin’s death.”
King Yan responded, “Do we need to investigate? Liao Shisan’s wife and daughter died. Since he wanted to kill Yin Wen, it means that his wife and daughter died at Yin Wen’s hands.”
Wei Luo knew that what he wanted to investigate was evidence.
King Yan sneered, “Is the evidence so important? Even if you find Yin Wen and avenge Yin Yong who died in vain, will he be honored?”
Wei Luo came to his senses and asked, “What is Father’s strategy?”
King Yan smiled, “The property of the Yin family was all saved by Yin Yong. His second family caused his death, so how can they spend his hard-earned money again?”
His third daughter-in-law would also enjoy endless glory and wealth for a lifetime.
King Yan was polite to Yin Yong because he was talented, and he admired the man, so he chose to use his money through marriage.
As for the Second Son of the Yin family, he didn’t deserve his courtesy.
Soon, Yin Wen, who had mastered the power of the Yin family at a young age, lost all his family property because of his eagerness for success.
At that time, the Yin family still had some money, so they didn’t need to live on the streets without food, but how could a family who were born rich bear it?
Yin Wen’s mother, Mrs.Zhao, went to the Yan Palace to see Yin Hui.
Wei Luo was on duty, not in the palace. Though Yin Hui harbored hate towards the second family, when Mrs.Zhao arrived at her doorstep, it would be impolite not to receive her.
Moreover, if she ignored her, Ji Xianxian would surely inquire why she hadn’t met her aunt. Despite Ji Xianxian’s prestigious background, she had a penchant for gossip and would spread words.
Upon meeting Mrs. Zhao, Yin Hui discovered that her second uncle’s family sought the dowry property her grandfather had bestowed upon her. Without hesitation, Yin Hui instructed Jinzhan to promptly escort her out.
When Wei Luo returned in the evening, he naturally learned of the incident. She rarely discussed matters regarding her natal family with him, and since her grandfather’s passing, she had remained silent on the topic.
Wei Luo also knew that his wife harbored a deep resentment towards the second branch of the Yin family.
Wei Luo initially believed that the downfall of the second Yin family constituted sufficient punishment. However, he was surprised by their relentless greed, as they sought to seize his wife’s wealth.
When the proposal for marriage was made, the second Yin family, in a bid to claim the prestige associated with Wei Luo’s position in the Yan Palace, intentionally ruined her reputation. If it was her turn to get a huge fortune, what would the second Yin family do?
Wei Luo resolved not to give the second Yin family another opportunity to harm her.
Not long after, Yin Jingshan, Mrs. Zhao, and Yin Wen disappeared, and they were sent overnight by Chang Feng to an estate where they were given drugs to make them mute, and then they were sent to Persia as slaves.
As for Yin Lang, the son of a concubine from the second branch of the Yin family, he had already quietly departed from the Yin household. Because he had never committed any wrongdoing, Wei Luo did not dispatch anyone to track down Yin Lang’s whereabouts.
Yin Hui remained unaware of these developments. As long as the disruptions from the second branch of the family ceased, she treated them as if they were no longer a part of her life.
The passing of her grandfather plunged her into a prolonged period of depression, which lasted until the ascension of Emperor Wei Ang to the throne. With the future of the Yan Palace hanging in the balance, Yin Hui dared not dwell on the past. It was during this time that she noticed a change in her son.
Xiao Heng no longer displayed the cheerful demeanor of his youth, he had become solemn and reserved. Though still dutiful towards her, he lacked the lively expressions he once had as a child.
Yin Hui would inquire of Xiao Heng about his experiences at the studying hall, and he would respond sternly, adopting a demeanor reminiscent of answering a teacher’s questions.
Seeing this, Yin Hui turned to Cao Bao, who said the same things as her son.
Yin Hui went to ask Wei Luo…
Where could she find Wei Luo? She felt that her father-in-law was up to something. Yin Hui finally found out what her father-in-law had planned, he took Wei Luo and Wei Xuan to fight against the court.
Realizing the gravity of the situation, Yin Hui pondered the consequences. If the rebellion failed, she and Xiao Heng could face execution.
The stress took a toll on Ji Xianxian, who fell ill from fright, and Yin Hui herself succumbed to illness.
One day, in a haze of confusion, Yin Hui awoke to find Xiao Heng standing by her bedside, his expression serious, resembling Wei Luo’s.
Staring at her son blankly, Yin Hui listened as Xiao Heng reassured her, promising to protect her in his father’s absence.
Yin Hui’s tears fell as she sat up, enveloping her five-year-old son in her arms.
As Xiao Heng nestled into his mother’s embrace, he detected the faint scent lingering on her body, a familiar aroma that reminded him of her comforting presence.
“It’s all my fault for making you worry,” Yin Hui murmured, her voice filled with remorse.
But Xiao Heng shook his head. Despite his mother’s timidity, she was undeniably good. He vowed to protect her with his father by her side.
——
Jinghe Second Year, April.
Wei Luo was sitting in the study and hadn’t eaten dinner yet. He was a little hungry, but his cousin was in the mansion. He didn’t want to eat in the hall.
The cousin cried all the way, and he really didn’t want to face her tears again.
The sound of rain outside the window was getting louder, and his wife’s image appeared in front of Wei Luo’s eyes.
She didn’t seem very comfortable. Was she also not used to having a strange face in the house?
Speaking of which, when Madam Yin married him, his cousin had already left the Yan Palace, and neither of them had seen each other.
