Chapter 530: Admit Father and Daughter
The two of them were silent for a while before Jin Weiwei sighed, “It’s all thanks to you this time.”
She didn’t know when this guy had prepared the criminal evidence of the English public. She was afraid that it would be of great use in the future, but she didn’t expect to take it out at this critical moment.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Even though she didn’t tell her that she had wasted her time worrying for a long time, in the end, she was gratified that she didn’t completely passively. “Why should I thank you?” Ji Jingzhi reached his hand out and withdrew his hair.
“This matter is not over yet. I guess the Emperor has some backup plan,” Ji Jingzhi said, “I can’t stay here for too long. You have a good rest first. If you have any news, I will inform you.”
Jin Weiwei pouted and mumbled, “Who told you to stay longer?”
Ji Jingzhi raised an eyebrow and looked at her. “You just don’t like me?” I just solved a problem.
“Let’s talk about it when you rescue the little seed,” said Lu Tingxiao as he pushed him away.
Ji Jingzhi was afraid that she would use too much force, so he hurriedly held her hand. The two of them pressed their palms together, causing Jin Weiwei to blush unconsciously and take it back.
“Jade, send the guests off!”
Jade came in to send Ji Jingzhi out, and he couldn’t help but mutter in his heart. This son of the family has a way to coax the girl to eat. If the son of the family could stay here for a few more hours, it would be good. Unfortunately, the young lady didn’t say a few words, and the young lady wanted to chase him away.
On the one hand, he interrogated the prince and asked him to confess quickly. On the other hand, he lied to Wei Shuwei and asked her to hand over the seed.
Wei Shuwei was now filled with love and hate towards Ji Jingzhi and refused to believe his words. However, now that the entire the Wei Family was in prison, Ji Jingzhi threatened her, and the future of the Wei Family was tied to her alone.
Wei Shuwei had no way to compromise and gave the seed’s hiding place.
Thankfully, Shen Che was still in jail and only remote command of Wei Shuwei. Wei Shuwei was not cruel enough and her brain was not flexible enough. If it was Shen Che, the seed would not be rescued so quickly.
On the side, Ji Jingzhi handed the seed back to Fang Yuanyin intact and Jin Weiwei breathed a sigh of relief. He was still in the midst of the interrogation, but as they expected, it was impossible for the Emperor to await one’s doom. Soon enough, his backup came.
The the Rong family suddenly reported to the public about the Yan incident that year, and took out evidence that went straight to the heavens. In addition to the evidence of bribing and corruption that Ji Jingzhi had presented before, the Emperor was furious and ordered a severe investigation.
At the same time, Shen Che in the prison also wrote about his crime, saying that his the doings was all bewitched by the public and was ordered by others. He was just a chess piece and the public was the one behind it.
All the evidence pointed to the English Duke. In addition, the Wei Family had long been called a abandoned child, so there was almost no hesitation in this matter and he was soon sentenced.
The Imperial Counsellor was beheaded, the male servant was exiled, the female family was filled with music, and the bridegroom was ransacked, and all the gains were handed over to the treasury. In three days, the case was completely settled.
As for Shen Che, he was still in jail. The Emperor did not say how to deal with his affairs. The ministers below also had eyes and no one in have a tacit understanding mentioned it.
In the court above and the masses below — government officials and the people, everyone seemed to be very satisfied with the handling of this case, but only one person didn’t seem satisfied. That was Gu Leiting.
On the other side of the case was final judgement, but on the side, he found that there was a lot of evidence. Gu Leiting really couldn’t sit still. He felt that this matter should be revealed, but he was afraid that it would offend anyone’s interests, plus it might implicate the purer of these evidence.
Thinking about it over and over, the day before the closing of the case, Gu Leiting took advantage of the late night to secretly knock on Jin Weiwei’s house.
“You don’t seem to be surprised at my visit?”
Jin Weiwei didn’t seem nervous. She even poured him a cup of tea and invited him to sit down.
“Because I know that with the general’s ability, finding out the problem is a matter of time,” Jin Weiwei sat down. “The general didn’t tell me, but came to talk to me late at night. I am very gratified.”
Gu Leiting looked at her eyebrows that were similar to the woman he remembered and sighed in his heart.
This girl was calm and experienced, not losing to her mother at all. “Since you know, why are you still doing this?”
Jin Weiwei’s face turned cold. “I have to do it. Shen Che forced me to have no way out.”
The room was silent for a while. Jin Weiwei spoke again, slowly bringing up the grudges between herself and Shen Che, and finally Gu Leiting fell silent.
From an outsider’s perspective, she had to do this, but from his perspective, he still felt that she was too risky.
Yes, he was worried for her, not blaming her.
“If the general wants to scold me, please scold me. I know that I did something wrong,” Jin Weiwei said in a very sincere tone, “It also caused the general to be busy for so many days.” Finally, after he said this, Jin Weiwei took a deep breath and exhaled.
It seemed that Gu Leiting was completely standing with her.
To be honest, he didn’t report to her but came to visit late at night. She was already very moved. She felt that it was almost the right time, and she couldn’t let Gu Leiting suffer in the dark.
After a pause, Jin Weiwei looked at Gu Leiting, stood up slowly and said seriously,
“But I have one more thing to tell the general.”
Before Gu Leiting could react, Jin Weiwei suddenly knelt down in front of him. The room was extremely quiet. There was a heavy sound of Gu Leiting taking deep breaths. A moment later, he suddenly burst out with a crying voice:
“You… finally recognized me!”
He had been doubting things for a long time and finally had an answer today.
In an instant, Gu Leiting felt that the heavy burden in his heart had finally been lifted. Everything in the world became clear and all the troubles in the world were swept away. Gu Leiting said the old man wept bitterly and reached out to help Jin Weiwei up.
