Chapter 1952: Chapter 1952: Exile (5)
Wei Bingyi’s head buzzed instantly, Madam Ruyi? And a third-rank official? This...
"Wei Bingyi, now is not the time to shirk responsibility." Lord Jiang coughed, "The dolls from your store have been confirmed as toxic by several Imperial Physicians, and we have completely seized them, and also sent people to Changhuai State..." He paused, "Of course, you can claim injustice, but as per our count, a total of forty-six dolls were sold this time, and all forty-six girls who bought them fell ill, or were poisoned, so..."
Wei Bingyi’s head was buzzing.
"Now, Longfeng Embroidery Village is suspected of poisoning. Although it did not cause any casualties, the impact is too great. According to Daxuan’s law... Wei Family’s main house assets are confiscated, and the entire family is exiled..."
Wei Bingyi really pissed his pants, exiled three thousand miles to the northwest... what difference is that from a death sentence? Whether they could even make the journey was another issue, many people died during exile! No, he couldn’t go, hurriedly looking at Wei Shicheng: "Uncle, you must save us, you’re an official, you..." Only the main house is exiled, Wei Shicheng’s branch wouldn’t be affected.
Wei Shicheng turned his head away, refusing to look at him.
"Cough... cough..." Lord Jiang coughed, "That Wei Shicheng has already been dismissed and investigated..."
Wei Bingyi felt utterly hopeless.
Meanwhile, Governor Lin Lang of Changhuai State, already informed, had led people to seize all of Wei Family’s and its subsidiaries’ properties, and the Wei old master and others were also caught.
And that Lord Zhao Yunliang immediately sent back the new bride he recently brought into the manor, even being severely reprimanded by his brother-in-law.
The wealth of the Wei Family was quite substantial; after compensating the victims, there was still quite a bit left, what to do? Naturally, it would fill the national treasury.
The Wei Family was annihilated, and everyone felt relieved, even the Emperor was pleased; the border was unstable, and so more silver was naturally better, hmm, which other family wished for ruin? He was eagerly anticipating...
If Yang Ruxin knew the Emperor’s old mind, she would probably roll her eyes.
Wei Yao’s expression had been somewhat dazed these days, occasionally pricking her fingers while doing needlework, her hands already had dozens of puncture marks.
"I’m telling you, Wei Yao, if you can’t focus, then don’t do it, what are you doing like this?" Yu Qingge couldn’t stand Wei Yao’s tangled demeanor, "If you want to know something, go ask your sister, being absent-minded like this is really annoying."
Wei Yao finally came to her senses, glanced at Yu Qingge, then suddenly stood up and ran outside.
Yu Qingge pursed her lips, what’s wrong with being straightforward? Why be so awkward? Ah, still lucky to have such a good personality, thinking of patting her own face, hmm, why am I so adorable?
Wei Yao hurriedly rushed into Hengxin Pavilion, but was informed by Lun Yi that Yang Ruxin had gone out.
Wei Yao was stunned, then turned around and walked back, utterly distracted.
Lun Yi furrowed her brows, but had no time to pay attention to Wei Yao, instead hurriedly entered the main house.
Yang Ruxin had gone to see the Longfeng Embroidery Store’s shop; after the confiscation, they were naturally going to auction it, which she was quite interested in.
Others who were also interested, upon seeing Yang Ruxin arrive, all consciously stepped aside, not because of her title Madam Ruyi, but because of the "Little Divine Doctor" title, anyone could be offended, but not the Divine Doctor, after all, who dares to say they’d never fall ill? If afflicted by a difficult sickness, then connections made now might be useful in the future.
