??Chapter 312 Plain and comfortable
??The queen on the side saw her staring at the pendant, and asked without doubt, "What's wrong?"
??Shen Mingjiao didn't answer, but asked: "Where did this pendant come from?"
Wei Che caressed the pendant, and explained in a harsh voice, "I bought it at an antique stall. At that time, Li Qi'er had an accident for more than half a year. I took Ah Chun to South Street to relax, and she saw it right away. A stone. Because before Xi’er’s accident, there was also a piece of similar shape, but it was a piece of blood jade. It was given to Xi’er by her mother-in-law when she was born.”
??Shen Mingjiao: "So Mrs. Wei always carries this pendant?"
?? "Yes, she seems to like the pendant very much." Seeing Shen Mingjiao's expression was wrong, Wei Che's heart sank, and he asked, "Is there something wrong with this pendant?"
??The queen has ordered the maid to come forward and gently untie the pendant.
??Shen Mingjiao took a deep breath: "I'm not sure for now. I'll know after careful inspection."
??When she saw this pendant at first glance, especially the bright red color, it may be because she is proficient in hypnosis, and her spirit is much more sensitive than ordinary people. She felt dizzy. The bright red color on it seems to have some sort of attraction.
??She couldn't tell what it was, but she was sure that there was definitely something wrong with it.
?? "Before I saw that Mrs. Wei's spirit seemed to have been stimulated all year round to become so serious."
When mentioning this, the queen also reacted: "I remember that in the two years after Dalang left, my sister-in-law was often in a trance, but she was far from what she is now, and occasionally went out to socialize. Later, for some reason, it became more and more serious. !"
??Shen Mingjiao pinched the pendant, and asked the queen: "Does the sister-in-law think this pendant looks familiar?"
??The empress frowned and thought for a while, and the maid at the side reminded: "It's the stone that Princess Xiyue gave you at your birthday banquet last time."
?? Was reminded by the maid. The queen patted her forehead and said: "Oh, yes, I remembered that at the palace banquet last time, that Princess Xiyue gave a strange and beautiful stone. Later, brother and sister, you said that the stone didn't look very good. "
?? Don't blame her for being like this. As the Empress of the Central Palace, no matter how low-key the birthday party is, the officials and female relatives will go all out to give gifts. There are so many things, it is impossible for her to remember all of them.
?? Afterwards, she went to see the imperial physician, but she didn't see anything. But for safety's sake, she never touched that rock again.
??Shen Mingjiao put the pendant away: "I'll ask someone to look it over after I go back."
??Wei Che's expression was ugly, if there was really something wrong with the pendant, then he really couldn't figure it out, who wanted to harm Ah Chun? Or maybe they want to deal with the Wei family, but that doesn't make sense either.
??If it is aimed at the queen, then it is directly aimed at him, the uncle of the country. Ah Chun is just a boudoir woman, why bother to do so much!
??Seeing Wei Che and his wife board the carriage. The queen stood for a while and then set off to return to the palace.
??Shen Mingjiao also boarded the carriage to return home, so the two carriages were parallel. Shen Mingjiao lifted the curtain of the car and looked at Wei Che who was riding on the horse, who was getting more and more cold and dignified, and suddenly asked:
?? "Uncle Wei travels all year round, is it really just because of his love for mountains and rivers?"
??Wei Che turned his head to look over, smiled and said: "Just as the princess thought, the body found back then was not Xi'er at all."
??He closed his eyes and said softly:
"On the day before Xi'er's accident, he knocked over a box of paint in my study because of his naughtiness, and even rubbed a little on his arm. The paint is a little special, and it is not easy to clean when it sticks to the skin. Only I know about it. But the body found that year did not have that piece of paint on its arm!"
??Shen Mingjiao said in his heart that it was true. Judging from the outside, Wei Che really looks like a hermit who roams the mountains and rivers all year round.
?? But through these two days of contact, his feelings for Mrs. Wei cannot be faked.
?? Then, under normal circumstances, no matter how much he loves the landscape, he still can’t leave his sick wife and go out all day.
?? "Didn't you tell Mrs. Wei about this?"
Wei Che sighed softly: "I said it. She believed it at the beginning, but later she posted a notice in the name of the uncle's mansion offering rewards, but not only did she not find anyone, she also attracted many fake ones. Ah Chun was disappointed day by day. Repeated torture, more exhausted.
??Desperate too many times, she gradually decided that the corpse she found was Xi'er. I knew I couldn't go on like this, so I had no choice but to declare to the outside world that Xi'er had passed away. "
??Shen Mingjiao didn't know what to say for a while, so she could only comfort her with a forced smile: "It's okay. The young master is auspicious, so nothing will happen."
?? These words even made her feel weak. Such a small child is not easy to support and is living outside. Even if he survives by luck, the situation will not be good.
??During the conversation, the two carriages had reached a fork in the road. Shen Mingjiao waved to Wei Che who was on the horse, said "It's been a good journey", and then put down the curtain.
??Wei Che paused for a while, and then drove away.
??…
??The carriage went all the way out of Beijing and stopped at a post station on the Guandao for supplies.
??At this time, Mrs. Wei was also about to wake up, watching the woman lying on the couch slowly open her eyes. Although Wei Che's expression remained the same, the hands behind his back tightened.
?? Madam Wei opened her eyes, and a familiar and cold face appeared in her sight. At this moment, she felt a little headache, and her mind was chaotic, as if something had been hollowed out.
??At this time, she heard the man in front of her ask softly, "What's wrong?"
??She felt uncomfortable all over, but shook her head instinctively.
??Wei Che took a breath and asked her, "Do you... know me?"
??Madam Wei nodded blankly: "...you are my husband, we have known each other since childhood, we got married three years ago, and we have a son..."
?? When she mentioned "son", her heart trembled, and she instinctively wanted to cry.
Wei Che hastily stretched out his hand, and patted her on the back lightly: "...Xi'er, he disappeared on the battlefield two months ago. You couldn't bear the blow, so you bumped your head. The imperial doctor said you might not remember it." Clear things up."
??Mrs. Wei listened blankly, and was not surprised when she heard that her son was gone. She seemed to know subconsciously that something had happened to her son. Did he die in battle?
??She was stunned for a long time before asking: "What year is it now, and where are we going?"
?? "It's Jinghe's 20th year now, and the imperial doctor said that you are depressed. I want to take you out to relax and travel around by the way."
?? As for the possibility that his son might still be alive, he didn't intend to say. Although he has never given up on finding his son's whereabouts all these years. But deep down in his heart, he also knew that the possibility of finding it was very slim.
??Instead of giving her hope and despair day by day, it is better never to tell her.
?? As for the future, we are lucky, if not...
??He smiled bitterly: That's fate too!
??After a long period of time, Mrs. Wei was always alone in a daze.
??Where they occasionally stop, the neighbors will sigh and sigh when they see this pair of immortals, but it's a pity that such a handsome man, the wife is a fool!
??Wei Che didn't think it was a big deal, he was calm by nature, just like at this time, he was sitting at the stone table in the courtyard and drawing intently, while she quietly accompanied him. Holding an embroidery frame in his hand, he embroidered twice occasionally.
??Although there is no communication, it is also plain and comfortable.
??Wei Che occasionally looked up at him, and his cold eyes could not help but smile.
?? Not only Mrs. Wei has known since she can remember that she wants to marry Wei Che. The same goes for Wei Che.
??He knew from a very young age that he was going to marry her in the future, so he would do his best to treat her well and regard her as a responsibility to be fulfilled.
??Because of his personality, he may never love someone vigorously.
??After these years, Mrs. Wei is no longer just a wife to him, but a part of his life.
??…
