Chapter 374 The Secret of the Hou Mansion
Author: Qingqingyinuo
When Lin Shuran was investigating the Yuan family, she learned that Yuan Chong and his wife, Gongsunshi, believed in gods, Buddhas and ghosts in order to have a son. On weekdays, they would pay more for fragrant oil at temples than others, but they had not prayed to gods and Buddhas for so many years.
They are two sons. Everyone secretly says that they are dishonest and do evil things behind their backs while praying to gods. Even if the gods have spirits, they will not let them get their wishes.
At the beginning, Su Sanqiang's vicious fight led to the Su family being convicted. If it were not for the protection of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, Yuan Chong, the Minister of the Ministry of War, would also have been implicated. The evil deeds done by the Yuan family were not much less than those of the Su family. It was just behind the scenes.
He was so powerful that even the emperor did not dare to touch him easily.
Lin Shuran thought of the scene where Kou Zhun tried Pan Renmei under the guise of a night in the underworld, and she decided to give Yuan Chong a show in the underworld, so that he could experience the spooky horror of the Temple of Hell.
So, Lin Shuran informed Xu Junze of her thoughts, and at the same time asked with some embarrassment: "Do you think it's a bit childish? I thought that since Yuan Chong and his wife believed in ghosts and gods, they would let the ghosts and gods tell them, causing them to be helpless.
The reason why they are poor is because they are immoral, have done too many evil things, and have been deprived of their blessings. Anyway, these are also facts."
Xu Junze fell silent. If in the past he had disdained such things as pretending to be a ghost, the emperor would have had "account books" for what Yuan Chong had done, but he had not yet found a chance to punish him. Moreover, Wei Qianjie and
People like Yuan Chong are deeply entangled in the court, and it would be very difficult to uproot them based on the emperor's current strength alone.
But now the emperor is being forced to do nothing by Wei Qianjie's party. As long as they can be dismantled, they will try their best no matter what means, even if they are not so glorious.
Seeing that Xu Junze was silent, Lin Shuran thought it was because he didn't agree with or like her suggestion, so she sighed softly. Was she thinking superficially?
Unexpectedly, Xu Junze said at this time: "You can give it a try. Do you have any specific ideas?"
Lin Shuran's originally disappointed expression immediately revealed a look of surprise, and said: "I have it, I have it. Sit down and I'll talk to you!"
Like a primary school student who has been affirmed by the teacher, Lin Shuran began to excitedly tell Xu Junze her specific operation plan on this matter. The couple kept talking until midnight.
When she woke up again, Xu Junze still left the house early to take care of business. Although Lin Shuran slept late last night, she was in good spirits. Xu Junze not only listened to her idea, but even planned the details with her. Lin Shuran took care of her.
He was informed of some of the modern techniques for creating a horror atmosphere, and even the character dialogue plots were designed for him.
Next, Lin Shuran was not directly involved in this incident. She only knew that half a month later, Yuan Chong, the Minister of the Ministry of War, was seriously ill for a few days. Then his wife, Gongsun, went to Long'an Temple to pray for blessings. After recovering from the illness, Yuan Chong came to court.
There was a big quarrel in the hall with Dingyuan Hou Wei Qianjie's brother-in-law, and they even revealed that Wei Ying, the eldest son of Dingyuan Hou Wei Qianjie, was not kidnapped and turned stupid at all, but was fed to him by Wei Qianjie.
Stupid potion.
No one expected that Yuan Chong would tell the secret of Dingyuan Hou Mansion in a rage, and Dingyuan Hou Wei Qianjie naturally would not admit it, scolding Yuan Chong for what he said was nonsense, and Yuan Chong directly requested the emperor
Let the imperial doctor diagnose and treat Wei Ying, and you will know the authenticity once you find out.
The incident was so public that Emperor Zhao You had no choice but to ask an imperial doctor to check Wei Ying's health. It turned out that there was indeed something wrong with Wei Ying's health. After some diagnosis and treatment by the imperial doctors, no one expected that Wei Ying's illness would gradually improve.
.
Such a strange thing spread all over the streets in an instant, and Yuan Chong also deliberately let people spread the news, saying that the reason why Wei Qianjie wanted to make his eldest son stupid was to preserve the wealth of the Hou Mansion.
"As a Marquis, how could you listen to the words of the charlatans and turn your own son into a fool? Could it be that Wei Ying is not your biological son? You are so confused!" The Queen Mother called Dingyuan Hou and his wife to come and scolded him severely.
They paused for a moment. It was really unbelievable that there were such parents in the world, and the emperor directly ordered Dingyuan Marquis to stay at home and think about it for three months. He was not allowed to participate in anything in the court.
Yuan Chong, the Minister of the Ministry of War, was also fined a year's salary for this incident, but he didn't care about the money because he finally let out a bad breath and became more convinced that his experience that night was real and magical. The Lord of Hell said
Well, Wei Qianjie made his son stupid and took away the blessings of the Yuan family. Only by breaking the situation can he have a successor.
Lin Shuran felt that the development of things did not follow her planned path at all. Although the purpose of separating Dingyuan Hou Mansion and Shangshu Mansion was achieved, Wei Ying was not stupid anymore. Could it be an unexpected surprise?
"Seventh brother, Wei Ying is no longer stupid, aren't you happy?" Xu Mingxuan glanced at Xu Minghao strangely, who had no intention of studying. Xu Minghao didn't look so happy after knowing that Wei Ying was no longer stupid.
Xu Minghao curled his lips. He wanted to tell Xu Mingxuan that Wei Ying was not stupid from the beginning. Although he didn't understand why Wei Ying acted in such a drama, as a friend, naturally he couldn't tell others his secret.
Lin Shuran happened to come to give them snacks. She heard the conversation between the two and saw the expression on Xu Minghao's face. She felt it was strange, but she didn't ask any more questions, thinking that Xu Minghao must have a sense of gap in his heart. After all, he was not stupid.
There is a big gap between Wei Ying and him in age and psychology.
After that, Lin Shuran went to see Chen Jiayu, but she didn't expect to see Wei Ying here when she came to Chen Jiayu's small courtyard. At this time, Wei Ying's face really didn't have a trace of stupidity, his features were clear and handsome, and his eyes were deep and deep.
Guess, this is too different from before, isn't it? Lin Shuran always felt weird.
"Mrs. Xu!"
"Viscount Wei!"
Lin Shuran and Wei Ying greeted each other. They were familiar with each other before, but now they feel strange and awkward.
Wei Ying took a deep look at Chen Jiayu's room, then looked at Lin Shuran with a pleading tone and said, "Please ask Mrs. Xu to speak to me, she doesn't want to see me!"
Lin Shuran sensed the emotion in Wei Ying's words, and seemed to understand something for a moment. Surprise flashed in her eyes, and she looked at Wei Ying strangely.
At this moment, Aunt Cai opened the door and walked out. She greeted the two of them, first invited Lin Shuran to enter the room, and then faced Wei Ying and said: "Viscount Wei, my lady asks you to go back. She will never see you again."
It’s yours, you’d better go!”
Lin Shuran only paused when she heard what Nanny Cai said to Wei Ying, and then stepped into the room. Chen Jiayu was sitting on the chair by the window. The emotions on her face were very complicated, and her eyes were reddish.
