Chapter 364: Jingning Strikes (2)
Matriarch Wei flung his hand away.
Wei Ting’s hand hit the armrest and he let out a cry of pain.
Matriarch Wei panicked and hurriedly grabbed his wrist. “What happened to your hand? Did you hit your wound? You… Don’t you know how to dodge?” Wei Ting said helplessly, “If I dodge, how can Grandmother calm down?”
“You…”
Matriarch Wei would really be angered to death by this unfilial grandson!
When Matriarch Wei learned from Fu Su that Wei Ting had injured his right hand, she felt like she had been struck by lightning.
Among the men in the Wei family, only Wei Ting was left.
If anything happened to him, the entire Wei family could only wait for their downfall.
Who would have thought that he would humiliate himself like this? He did not cherish his life!
“Is it worth it for an outsider?!”
Wei Ting thought about it seriously. “It doesn’t seem worth it… I’ve already lost a hand. If she’s still an outsider, I’ll suffer too much…
Matriarch Wei was speechless.
This matter could not be clarified.
Wei Ting had never listened to anyone since he was young. He had more thoughts than his brothers. He only pretended to be obedient on the surface, but in reality, he was the most difficult to control.
No one could do anything when he made up his mind.
Matriarch Wei looked at his bandaged hand and asked in a low voice, “Does it really still hurt?”
“It hurts.” Wei Ting said.
Matriarch Wei snorted coldly. ‘You’re already a father, yet you’re still complaining about pain? Aren’t you ashamed? Endure the pain! You asked for
Wei Ting sighed. “Sigh, weren’t you the one asking?”
Matriarch Wei ignored him!
Wei Ting deliberately placed his injured claw in Matriarch Wei’s hand.
Matriarch Wei shook her head weakly and glared at him, pretending that nothing had happened.
Wei Ting’s lips curled up as he got down to business with Matriarch Wei. “Grandmother, did you arrange this a.s.sa.s.sination?” Matriarch Wei said coldly, “Wei Xichao, are you rebelling?”
Wei Ting smiled. “I was just joking. I know it’s not you.”
Matriarch Wei mocked, “If I arrange for the a.s.sa.s.sination, I’ll have broken your arm no matter what!”
Look at this ancestral vicious tongue.
Wei Ting looked at his injured hand and said, “Actually, it’s all thanks to such a serious injury. Otherwise, our Wei family might really have been stabbed in the back.”
If Wei Ting wasn’t injured or seriously injured, people might suspect that he was injured on purpose. They might say that, in fact, he was the one who arranged for the a.s.sa.s.sination to kill Xiao Zhonghua.
However, his right hand might be crippled. No one could use the ruse of self-injury to this extent.
Matriarch Wei also felt that something was amiss.
Wei Ting continued, “Grandmother, there’s something I haven’t found a chance to ask you.”
Matriarch Wei said, “Speak.”
Wei Ting said, “The Marquis of Zhenbei was poisoned by someone, and the
clues point to the Protectorate. This… has nothing to do with you, right?”
Matriarch Wei said angrily, “So what if it’s related? Qin Canglan killed your grandfather. The Qin and Su families are in cahoots. There’s nothing wrong with me taking revenge on them!” Wei Ting looked at her hesitantly. “You didn’t really do it, did you?” Matriarch Wei’s lips moved.
She turned away. “I wanted to do it. Unfortunately, I didn’t succeed.”
Wei Ting secretly heaved a sigh of relief. “You almost lost your granddaughter-in-law, do you know that?”
Matriarch Wei said, “Hmph, I’m not…’
Wei Ting counted with his fingers. “Dahu, Erhu, Xlaohu.” Matriarch Wei swallowed the last word with a dark expression.
“Why are you asking this?” She returned to the topic that had just been interrupted.
Wei Ting said, “The Marquis of Zhenbei was poisoned. At first, the clues pointed to the Protector Duke’s Estate, but later on, Su MO investigated and actually found out about our Wei family.”
Matriarch Wei said, “Hmph! I didn’t poison him!”
Wei Ting said, “That means that someone is sowing discord between our families. There are two possibilities. The first is that he’s purely here to sow discord among the three parties. The second is that he only wanted to sow discord between the Qin and Su families at the beginning. Seeing that the relationship between the two parties is too strong and can’t be broken, he framed our Wei family and wanted to make our relationship with the Qin and Su families worse.”
Matriarch Wei said coldly, “Is there a need to sow discord between the Wei family and the Qin and Su families? They’ve long fought to the death!”
Wei Ting seemed to be deep in thought. “That’s right. Why is there a need to do this? Unless… the other party knows that I have a deep relationship with the eldest daughter of the Qin family and wants to stop us from turning from enemies to friends.”
Matriarch Wei frowned.
“Grandmother, have you seen this?” Wei Ting took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket.
He clumsily tried to open it with one hand for a long time.
Matriarch Wei took the paper with a dark expression.
On the paper was a Luan Token.
Wei Ting said, “Su MO obtained the token from an a.s.sa.s.sin last night.”
Matriarch Wei carefully examined the totem on the token, but she could not figure it out after a long while.
Suddenly, she turned the paper upside down.
The next second, her expression froze.
Su Xiaoxiao left Su Ergou’s room and went to the lobby.
The patient’s condition was still stable, and Physician Fu told her not to worry.
However, Su Cheng did not wake up. Physician Fu told her to go up and take a look.
She went upstairs, and the three little tails followed her.
The three of them entered Su Cheng’s room.
“Grandpa, why aren’t you waking up yet?” Xiaohu asked.
“Grandpa is tired.” Dahu said.
“Tired of what?” Xiaohu asked.
“Tired… he’s tired! He’s tired of taking care of you!” Erhu said.
Xiaohu put his hands on his hips and said angrily, “It’s not tiring to carry Xiaohu! It’s tiring to carry you! It’s tiring to carry Dahu!”
Dahu muttered, ” What did I do now?”
Su Xiaoxiao took Su Cheng’s pulse. There was nothing wrong with his pulse, and his temperature and blood pressure were normal.
As such, Su Xiaoxiao could only think of one possibility—he could not accept Su Huayin’s death and subconsciously refused to wake up.
The compet.i.tion for military power was in two days.. If he still could not wake up on that day…
