The Princess Wei Yang Chapter 33

Chapter 33: Teaching one’s daughter

Li Wei Yang held out a strip of paper and on it was written: Have something urgent to discuss, secret, come promptly.

It was the original strip of paper, but with the sender added on, Xian Hui.

Li Wei Yang faintly smiled and said: “This was found on Gao Jin Biaoge’s body, as for Xian Hui ---“

After giving it a look, Prime Minister Li’s complexion changed. Xian Hui, those were the words that he bestowed upon his beloved daughter for her name.

Wei Guo furen and Gao Min saw this and became confused. Wei Guo furen thought all along that her son was injured by Li Wei Yang but she never thought that a strip of paper would appear. She is not a fool either and immediately understood everything --- Li Zhangle and her mother wanted to get rid of a concubine’s daughter through her own hands? Even so, they shouldn’t put her son’s life at risk! Her complexion momentarily turned worse, her face coldly watched the present situation.

Hearing a thundering voice, everyone turned, Da furen’s complexion darkened and spoke: “Full of nonsense!”

Li Wei Yang’s expression remained the same and said: “Mother, every ya tou and mumu here can testify. All of them saw this with their own eyes, this strip of paper was searched from Gao Jin Biaoge’s body.”

Da furen’s eyes sternly swept across everyone: “Which of you have seen this!”

Being glared at by her intimidating stares, no one dared to voice out. Da furen randomly pointed to a mumu and coldly asked: “Did you see it?”

A gleam of bewilderedness flashed past under the mama’s eyes. She drooped her head and depressingly spoke: “The situation then was very chaotic, nubi, nubi also, also can’t remember .......”

A gleam of satisfaction flashed across Da furen’s face but then heard Bai Zhi said: “Furen, nubi saw it with my own eyes.”

Da furen coldly watched her: “You are Wei Yang’s ya tou, your words cannot be trusted.” Afterwards, she looked towards Prime Minister Li, “You know what type of person Zhangle is, how could she have committed such inappropriate misdemeanors!”

“Father, you must believe in your daughter!” Li Zhangle couldn’t hide her sense of urgency, she was very frantic.

This matter has embroiled two xiaojies, becoming more nonsensical! Lao furen lightly coughed.

“Everyone stop talking! Today was simply Jin Er causing a scene at the garden and was mistaken by the servants as a thief so he was beaten up. This child has been wronged, I will find a day to personally visit him and offer my apologies. Wei Guo furen, you all should return first, tending to Jin Er’s injuries is much more important.” Li Xiao Ran promptly decided and directly spoke. To distinguish right and wrong, he can’t let others see the scandals in his family so he especially can’t interrogate in front of outsiders.

Seeing his expression, everyone knew that was his final verdict. Wei Guo furen coldly grunted and stood up: “Let’s leave!”

Da furen hurriedly spoke: Lin mumu, direct my sister to my room so she can take a rest.”

“There’s no need!” Wei Guo furen didn’t even turn back, she signaled her people to carry the stretcher and left.

Da furen didn’t run after her, she knew that the most important thing to do now is not to appease her sister but to help her daughter prove her innocence.

Lao furen’s eyes swept across everyone and said: “Luo mumu, tell everyone to leave us, you know what to do!”

“Yes!” Luo mama obeyed and brought along with her all the servants that weren’t involved in the matter.

“Kneel down!” Li Xiao Ran angrily said.

Li Wei Yang sincerely kneeled on the stoned ground, lowered her head and looked downward. Li Zhangle, on the other hand, was still standing, making no movement. It was true that Li Xiao Ran doted on her, but it was even truer now that he was infuriated.

He directed his anger towards Li Zhangle: “Little brute! Kneel down as well!”

Since she was young, this was the first time her father raised his voice at her.

Seeing her daughter kneeling, tears flashed across Da furen’s eyes, she gently said: “Laoye, you’ve watched our nu’er grow up, in this freezing weather, it won’t be good if she becomes sick, we should let her get up......”

Li Xiao Ran looked at Li Zhangle, his favoritism for his daughter can’t be oppressed. Her body like snow, her lips like petal, she seemed extremely weak and fragile. As his heart began to soften, he wanted to let her get up, but at the same time, he saw Li Wei Yang staring at him. Her eyes emitted an unknown desire to seek justice in this matter.

Subsequently, Li Wei Yang opened her mouth to speak: “Nu’er acted recklessly, I sent people to beat up the person without first figuring out whether it was a thief or it was Biaoge, I’ve troubled father and mother, I am absolutely ashamed, I earnestly hope that father will punish me.”

Her voice was purely cold, every last of her tones were particularly crisp.

This ya tou, what does she mean! At this moment, Li Xiao Ran was greatly astonished.

She glibly asked to be punished but actually had an ulterior motive! Da furen glared at Li Wei Yang, she hated her to death but understood that if the matter was investigated, Li Zhangle would eventually be exposed.

“Oh, my dear daughter, your father knows that you’ve just returned to the estate so you are still naïve. How can we allow ourselves to punish you? Quickly get up.......” Da furen pretentiously signaled her people to help her up.

“If father won’t punish me, I will not stand up.” Li Wei Yang swung the people’s hands away, vision staring straight into the distant but without focusing on anyone. Her lips faintly stretched, her tone was dull but it made others felt the special presence of her persistence.

Her attitude was obviously seeking a verdict; she will not give up until then. She asked to punish herself but in the end she was aiming for Li Zhangle!­_­

Because of this strip of paper, it was difficult for Li Zhangle to explain anything. How can she admit that this strip of paper was a prop used to frame Li Wei Yang but inexplicably had the two words Xian Hui added at the end! In this way, she will be involved in this matter and no matter what, she won’t be able to prove her innocence!

Da furen saw the situation, clenched her teeth and unexpectedly kneeled down as well. Li Zhangle reached out to hold her and immediately said: “Mother, what are you doing?”

Da furen watched Li Xiao Ran carefully and deeply voiced: “Two of our daughters have been dragged into this matter, it is really because my discipline is at fault. If Laoye has to put the blame on someone, then blame me, Zhangle’s body is weak, Wei Yang is naïve ......” At this point, she was choking with sobs as if she was being wronged.

Hearing her mother’s words, Li Zhangle promptly turned and coldly stared at Li Wei Yang: “Why are you not helping mother up! Do you really have to be this disobedient and impious?!”

However, Li Wei Yang continued to kneel, her eyes looking down as if she hadn’t seen anything.

Li Xiao Ran was furtively surprised, women from a well-respected family have learned to be virtuous and modest and to have a sense of propriety. This child went so far to the point of not leaving a route for retreat ......

During the entire scene, the parrot was silent; only the pattering sounds Lao furen’s Buddhist beads could be heard. It has just rained so the grounds were all damp. In this weather, standing was already a kind of torment with the hands and feet chillingly cold, let alone kneeling. As for Li Wei Yang, she hadn’t even wipe her drenched hair, yet had directly kneeled down on the ground.

Li Xiao Ran stared at this daughter who was less than ten steps away from him and felt very surprised.

Everyone was quiet, staring at Li Xiao Ran, waiting for him to announce his final verdict! Would he favor his beloved Li Zhangle or would he investigate until the end to give Li Wei Yang justice!
