The Lucky Heiress-Chapter 530 - : It was his plot_1
Chapter 530: Chapter 530: It was his plot_1
Wei Ruo just recounted the events of the day, confirming that there were problems.
Wei Yichen arrived too soon, and why did the always low-key Mo Family know about the Bai Family’s conspiracy in advance?
The Bai Family and the Mo Family have always had a bad relationship. How would she tell Mo Family about such clandestinn deeds she’s planning to do?
Wei Ruo thought of a possibility, that is, this whole situation was set up by Wei Yichen today.
Even the matter of Bai Family wanting to drug her, it might be him who gave some hint to the Bai Family through some means, which triggered their thoughts.
Wei Ruo also suspected that Wei Yichen deliberately arranged for Mo Family to remind her, to complete the last ring of the plan.
In other words, she was nothing more than a pawn in his chess game today.
Wei Yichen did not reply.
Without refuting, it means acknowledging.
On his cold face, there wasn’t a trace of warmth. His dark eyes were terrifyingly deep, like an unfathomable abyss.
“What goal are you trying to achieve with this?” Wei Ruo asked.
“The people from the second residence are getting too close to King Yu and the Qi Family.” Wei Yichen answered in a calm tone, devoid of any emotional fluctuations.
Wei Ruo was greatly shocked.
Had Wei Yichen predicted that King Yu and the Qi Family could get into trouble?
So he took the initiative, took advantage of the chaos in the backyard to isolate the third residence from the other two residences?
Wei Ruo guessed that King Yu and the Qi family were in trouble because she knew some of the plots of the original story, but how did Wei Yichen know?
Does clearing the relationship with the second residence at this critical time mean that he has already placed his bet on King Jing Chu Lan?
While Wei Ruo was pondering, Wei Yichen said to her: “You don’t need to worry about today’s matter, this dispute has nothing to do with you.”
“Are you sure it has nothing to do with me? I have entered the game and am an important piece on your chessboard.” Wei Ruo said.
“Sorry.”
Wei Yichen did not offer more explanation.
After scrutinizing Wei Yichen for a while, Wei Ruo said: “I understand, I will not concern myself with this matter any further.”
Hence, Wei Ruo, along with Xiumei and Lin Fang, left.
As Wei Ruo was about to leave, Wei Yichen suddenly spoke again: “Even if King Rui dies, as long as the Wei Family does not fall, you can still be the carefree Queen Rui.”
Wei Ruo, upon hearing his voice, stopped walking, turned her head to look at Wei Yichen who was still standing under the porch.
Their eyes met, and a complex emotion unconsciously welled up in Wei Ruo’s heart.
After a moment, Wei Ruo gathered her thoughts, turned and left, leaving Yifang Pavilion.
Wei Yichen looked at the courtyard gate for a long time before finally withdrawing his gaze.

When Wei Ruo returned to King Rui Residence, she did not go back to the backyard but directly went to the study in front to find Wei Jinyi.
Seeing Wei Ruo seemed to have something on her mind, Wei Jinyi asked her to sit down by the desk and asked: “What’s wrong?”
Wei Ruo then informed Wei Jinyi of the events that happened at the Wei Family today.
In the end, Wei Ruo asked him: “Actually, this matter isn’t really harmful to me. Someone did what I wanted to do for me. It’s just that I have some feelings, a kind of indescribable feeling.”
Wei Jinyi asked: “Do you feel that the current eldest brother is different from the past, acting coldly and thinking deeply?”
“Yeah, I don’t know whether it’s good or not. Speaking for myself, it should be a good thing. And today, he had Mo family inform me in advance…” Wei Ruo said.
Wei Ruo couldn’t be clear, was it that Wei Yichen informed her in advance so she could be on guard, in order to retaliate against Wei Qingwan while breaking away from the second residence, or was it because he was considerate of her, or both?
“I also think it’s a good thing. With his planning, our father can be worry-free. You know my father, he is only good at leading troops and fighting. He is completely incompetent at planning. He is charging and fighting in the front lines, but if the Wei Family makes mischief behind his back, it will not only spoil his accumulated achievements, but may even push him into the abyss.” Wei Jinyi analyzed.
Wei Ruo nodded, then asked: “Second brother, do you think elder brother simply wants to avoid getting too close to King Yu and the Qi Family, or has he already sided with King Jing Chu Lan?”
“From his recent performance, he hasn’t been getting close to any of the forces, and he has been devoted to his usual job in the Hanlin Academy. But we cannot rule out that these may just be appearances.” Wei Jinyi said.
Wei Ruo asked Wei Jinyi: “Second brother, are you worried that he will become a variable?”
Wei Jinyi admitted: “It’s not true to say that I’m not worried at all, but there’s no need to be overly concerned about this matter. What’s going to happen will happen eventually. If we really have to go against him, it’s something that can’t be helped.”
Wei Ruo nodded, she was thinking the same way.
After saying what she wanted to say, Wei Ruo saw that Wei Jinyi was still busy, so she planned to leave. When she got up, she saw the tea that Wei Jinyi had left on the table. She touched the teacup, it was already cold.
“Let me pour you another pot.” Wei Ruo said, “It’s cold now, don’t always drink cold beverages.”
It’s already October, and the weather has become cooler and cooler each day.
Especially in these years, the temperature has dropped faster and the coldness is more severe.
“Alright.” Wei Jinyi responded.
“In a while, have someone measure your measurements. I’ll have the tailor make a few winter clothes for you. The first batch of cotton from Hejian Prefecture came yesterday and it’s pretty good. There’s also a lot of fabric from Huzhou Prefecture, I saved a few pieces especially for you. It should be just right for you to make clothes out of it.” Wei Ruo said.
“Alright.” Wei Jinyi agreed again, looking at Wei Ruo with even softer eyes.
When Wei Ruo finished speaking, she found that Wei Jinyi was looking at her with a strange look.
“Second brother, what’s wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that?” Wei Ruo asked.
Second brother looked at her this way, making her feel a bit embarrassed…
“Just now Ruo… looked like…” Wei Jinyi said softly.
“Looked like what?” Wei Ruo didn’t hear the last few words clearly.
“Nothing, it’s getting late, Ruo should go back and rest early.” Wei Jinyi said.
“Alright, I’ll go first then.” Wei Ruo didn’t ask any further and left the room.

Early the next morning, Lin Fang came to the backyard to report to Wei Ruo.
Yesterday Wei Yichen sent Bai to the government office, accusing her of harming the concubine of King Yu because of jealousy to the third residence, and attempting to ruin the reputation of King Yu’s concubine by giving her drugs.
As it concerns King Yu Residence and Loyal and Righteous Duke Residence, the official of Shuntian Prefecture ordered a thorough investigation of this matter.
Bai confessed all her faults when she was terrified during the trial, including her initial intention to harm Queen Rui but accidentally harmed King Yu’s concubine instead.
As a result, Bai was arrested for custody, and thereafter, the Wei Family was in a mess. It was said that when Wei Yichen returned to the Wei Family, the whole family was in an uproar.
The old master of Wei Family scolded Wei Yichen for being disrespectful to his elders, acting recklessly, disregarding the interests and reputation of the family, and Wei Mingyong directly punched Wei Yichen.
The other brothers in the family also criticized Wei Yichen, especially Bai’s several sons, who grabbed Wei Yichen and demanded him to bring their mother back from the government office.freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
