Chapter 152 – The one who killed her parents was Wei Qingwan.

“Let’s sell a secret first.” Wei Ruo smiled mysteriously.

“Miss, you’re bad, arousing people’s curiosity and not satisfying it!” Xiu Mei said sullenly.

“Anyway, it’s just something that makes them uncomfortable, you’ll know when you return to the school captain’s house next time.” Wei Ruo said playfully.

Xiu Mei muttered, “Okay, then I’ll wait and snicker all at once then!”

Xiu Mei thought for a moment and added, “Miss, it seems like you’ve been particularly proactive in finding trouble with Second Miss lately!”

“Yeah.” Wei Ruo frankly admitted, “Who made Wei Qingwan unforgiving towards me? I’ve already taken the initiative to avoid it, but she’s still always making little moves, treating me as her imaginary enemy. I can’t be polite to her if she’s unsettled, finding more things for her to do saves her from just figuring out how to give me a hard time day in and day out.”

“Hmm! Miss you’re right! We don’t actively look for trouble, but we can’t always be bullied either!” Xiu Mei very much agreed.

Hinson County, Schoolcraft.

After many days, Wei Mingting finally came home.

He came home two days later than the others, and he waited until the affairs of the army were all arranged.

When you get home, you shower and change your clothes first, to wash away the dirt and fatigue that you have accumulated over the period of time.

Yun served Wei Ming Ting who finished bathing to change his clothes, then carefully re-bandaged Wei Ming Ting’s wounds, this time the wounds were not deep and had already healed almost, but to be on the safe side Yun still coated him with medicine.

After applying the medicine, Yun told Wei Mingting about the recent events at home, including the fact that Wei Ruo had been picked up by Mrs. Yuan for a small stay in the Prefecture as well as the fact that the He family had taken up residence in the vicinity of the Wei Mansion.

Wei Mingting said, “They should, they are also parents.”

Yun added, “They have been living near the School Captain’s Mansion for the past few days, and that girl named Miao’er comes to Wan Wan from time to time.”

“Bloodline-wise, they are full sisters, and it’s only human to familiarize themselves with each other.” Wei Mingting didn’t see any problem with this.

They wanted Ruo’er to get along well with the brothers Yi Chen and Yi Lin, so by the same token, the He family must have wanted their two daughters to get along well too.

As the two of them were talking, Sister Zhang came in to report, “The He family seeks an audience.”

The He family had always wanted to see Wei Mingting, but since Wei Mingting was in the barracks and hadn’t returned, the He family could only wait.

Wei Mingting said, “This time they helped out a lot, it’s time to meet them. And they also helped take care of Ruo’er before, and I haven’t thanked them in person.”

After Wei Mingting finished speaking, he let Sister Zhang go and lead the people in.

While this was going on, Wells Tiger came in and delivered a letter.

“Master, this is the letter that young master sent back from Huzhoufu.”

“Oh? Jin Yi sent a letter back.” Wei Mingting busily picked up the letter and read it.

After reading it, Wei Mingting’s face immediately turned gloomy.

“What’s wrong?” Cloud asked in disbelief.

“Look at it!” Wei Mingting angrily handed the letter to Yun.

Yun took the letter and read it, and her face became extremely ugly even after reading it.

“Could Jin Yi be mistaken?” Yun asked.

“If Jin Yi hadn’t investigated clearly, how could she just write back? Besides, isn’t this He family couple coming over soon? Then ask them face to face if it’s true or not!”

Yun frowned, if what the letter written back by the concubine son said was true, then this He family really deserved to die!

Not long after, the He family couple brought their daughter He Miaoe to Wei Mingting’s front.

Wei Qingwan also came with them, not that Wei Qingwan wanted to hang out with the family, but the He family always pestered her.

Seeing Wei Mingting, Wei Qingwan quickly stepped forward, “Father.”

Wei Mingting looked at the He family with an ugly face, not really in the mood to pay attention to Wei Qingwan at this time.

Wei Qingwan panicked in her heart, not knowing what was going on and why her father was so cold to her.

Could it be that he had gotten too close to the He family in the past few days and upset Father?

The He family came in full of joy, but after seeing Wei Mingting’s face, they were shocked in an instant.

I had long heard that Wei Qianchang was a very strict person, and when I saw him today, it was really so!

“Lord Wei, it really is better to be known than to be seen, we finally had the chance to meet you today.” He Zhang came up and enthusiastically said to Wei Mingting.

However, Wei Mingting’s face remained cold, and He Zhang didn’t know what the situation was.

He Zhang’s smile became awkward and he looked at Wei Qingwan somewhat at a loss for words, hoping that his own daughter would be able to help ease the atmosphere at this time.

Wei Qingwan pretended not to see, she didn’t want to get involved with the He family in the first place, so how could she upset Wei Mingting for the He family.

The three He family members were at a loss for words.

At this time, Yun opened her mouth and questioned the He family couple, “When we sent people to find you that day, you told us that Ruo’er had been living well in your home all these years, and that it was only recently that she had become unwell that you sent her to the countryside to recuperate. But now we have learned that this is not the case at all!”

Hearing this, He Zhang quickly explained, “Where did Lord Wei and Lady Wei hear this? Did Ruo’er say something angry to you? Ruo’er is very dissatisfied with us sending her to the countryside and doesn’t understand our approach and good intentions, and she couldn’t listen to us even after we explained it a few times.”

He Zhang continued, “Misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding! We really sent Ruo’er to the countryside for the sake of her health. There’s no parent who doesn’t care for his or her children, and if it weren’t for the fact that there’s no other way, where would we want to send her to the countryside!”

Wei Mingting said in a cold voice, “It wasn’t Ruo’er who said this, Ruo’er hasn’t said half a word about you guys to us since she came back, these are the things my son got from investigating in the Huzhou Prefecture.”

At that He Zhang’s words of sophistry were all stuck in his throat.

Wei Mingting questioned again, “How dare you abandon Ruo’er, who is only three years old, to the countryside and leave her to fend for herself because of a fortune teller’s words?”

His eyes were bitterly cold, revealing a murderous aura that only people who had been fighting for years could have.

He Zhang and Mrs. He were frightened by Wei Mingting’s anger and both knelt down.

Seeing this, He Miao’er also knelt down in a hurry, seeing that her parents were too scared to speak, He Miao’er busily explained for them, “Don’t be angry, Ta-Jen Wei, the fortune-teller that my parents invited is a famous living god in our place! His old man figured out that my sister’s destiny is to kill both of her parents, and that she will kill both of her parents before she turns eighteen!”

At those words Wei Qingwan’s face also changed.

There was a slight difference between her and Wei Qingruo’s actual birth time, and it was because of this slight difference that Wei Qingruo became the first eldest daughter.

The He family didn’t know at the time that they were holding the wrong daughter, and used the hour of her birth when they told Wei Qingruo’s fortune.

Doesn’t that mean she’s the one who’s going to kill both her parents before she’s eighteen?
