Chapter 29 Wei Mingji is full of hidden tricks

The cheerful atmosphere of the Lin family was cast into a layer of ice by the arrival of Wei Mingji, Mrs. Hou's eyes shone coldly, and the rest of the Lin family remained silent.

Lin Laoer coughed lightly and asked: "General Wei has not taken off his armor, but he just came back from work outside the city?"

Wei Mingji answered truthfully: "Your Majesty ordered me to pursue a group of bandits. Fortunately, today I captured them all and brought them to justice. I rushed back to the capital to pay New Year's greetings to the Lin family."

Taigong Lin seemed to have a date choked in his throat, and his tone was very unpleasant, "General Wei didn't go to pay New Year's greetings to the elders of the Lu family first, but instead came to my house and made me feel flattered."

Taigong Lin cursed in his heart: "If my eldest daughter-in-law hadn't taught you a lesson, would you still know how to pay New Year's greetings to your future in-laws? Don't expect me to give you money!"

Wei Mingji put his hands on his knees and replied: "My adoptive father and adoptive mother didn't know that I would rush back today, and I will pay New Year's greetings to them early tomorrow morning."

Mrs. Lin also said: "General Wei did not go to the city to pay New Year's greetings to his parents first, but first came to greet my Lin family. This is not in line with etiquette. Our Lin family's family background is not as prominent as that of the Lu family, and our sons and daughters are not as noble as General Wei.

But they know the basic etiquette. On New Year’s Eve and the first day of the lunar month, there is no custom of visiting relatives to pay New Year’s greetings.”

Wei Mingji clasped his hands slightly, his face flushed, and he looked at a loss. His eyes wandered, not knowing whether he should say goodbye and go back or stay.

Mrs. Hou was secretly happy and cursed: Don't you think that my Lin family has no one? Now my aunt's words can let you know that no matter whether you are a high-ranking official or not, you must respect etiquette and abide by the rules.

Mrs. Hou sat upright and said seriously: "General Wei came to my house wearing armor and leading troops, which made everyone in my family panic. They thought someone in my family had committed a crime and General Wei came to arrest him."

Wei Mingji nodded and smiled. Since he was not welcome, he no longer stayed shamelessly. He picked up his helmet and stood up and walked to the center. He gave a salute to the elderly couple Lin and the other elders who were looking up to him, and said: "This junior is here to pay homage to the elders of the Lin family."

It’s time for us to celebrate the New Year. I still have important matters to attend to, so I won’t bother you anymore and go back first.”

Then he turned back and said, "Bao Shang!"

Bao Shang waved his hand back, and two soldiers carried a mahogany box up and opened it in front of everyone. There was a full box full of jewelry.

Wei Mingji said: "Last time it was a New Year's gift from my parents to the Lin family. This is a New Year's gift from me to the Lin family. I hope Madam Hou will not despise it as being simple. I will resign!"

He turned around quickly and left quickly, followed quickly by the armored soldiers behind him. The sound of footsteps gradually disappeared from the eyes of everyone in the Lin family.

After Wei Mingji left, the Lin family members all looked at the box of jewelry in trance, and no one said anything.

Mrs. Hou was calm, and asked Yuzhu Caizhu to carry the box away. She put the box together with the betrothal gifts and wedding gifts that Wei Mingji had given before, and kept it safe, thinking that one day it could be returned to Zhao intact.

During the Nuo dance and sacrifice session, Lin Xingwei learned from his second uncle that Wei Mingji had been here. When he learned that his elders had driven Wei Mingji away with cold words, and that Wei Mingji had left a box of jewelry regardless of past grudges, Lin Xingwei sighed repeatedly.

The same goes for Wei Mingji. Since he has a big gift to give, why not give it early and save it until the end? If he had given it earlier, he wouldn't have been ridiculed by the whole Lin family.

Lin Tingyu said: "Auntie is not a person who is jealous of money. Even if Wei Mingji had presented these gifts earlier, Auntie has something in her heart and she still needs to say what she needs to say."

Lin Chengyu poked Lin Xingwei's forehead and warned: "Don't see the Wei family sending heavy gifts and become so confused that you don't know the importance!"

He added: "Wei Mingji is hiding in hiding. This marriage is said to be finalized, but the variables are extremely variable. Don't let Ran Ran be easily deceived by him."

Lin Tingyu was vaguely worried and frowned, "Wei Mingji behaves in a mysterious way. I don't know what his true character is. If he is retaliated against, our family must be careful."

Lin Xing grinned slightly and said, "That's not the case. Although our family was disrespectful to him in words, we didn't really offend him. To be honest, he was the one who disrespected our family first!"

Lin Cheng came to Lin Xingwei's ear and whispered: "Have you seen the stick in Wei Mingji's hand?"

Lin Xing nodded slightly, and Lin Chengyu continued to explain: "His spear is called the 'Yaican Flame Spike', and there is a green-eyed and fanged beast on the handle. It was when Wei Mingji was appointed as the envoy of the capital, he specially wanted craftsmen.

It was created with the target of the Yaizi beast, what do you think of Wei Mingji's character now?"

Hearing this, Lin Xingwei felt mixed emotions in his mind. Following Lin Chengyu's explanation, he thought again and again, and realized that Wei Mingji had really become a demon in human skin. In an instant, Lin Xingwei had goosebumps all over his body.

Lin Tingyu bumped his cousin's shoulder and scolded: "Don't scare Ran Ran. It's just a weapon. It doesn't mean anything. If you don't believe me, you can just look for a school ground. There is a Yazhen beast on it."

Weapons are not uncommon."

Lin Tingyu straightened his expression and turned to Lin Xingwei: "But Ran Ran still has to be careful. I heard that Chen Xinan was secretly drugged by Wei Mingji because he offended Wei Mingji. He has not recovered from the cold until now."

Didn't Chen Xinan fall into the cold because she pushed him into an icy lake? Besides, the doctor sent by his mother only stayed at Chen's house for five days. Because Chen Xinan's health had improved, he had returned to Taiwei's Mansion. How could Wei Mingji have administered the medicine?

Brother, could it be that I misunderstood?

Lin Xing slightly rounded his eyes and looked at his eldest cousin in surprise.

Lin Chengyu pushed Lin Tingyu and cursed: "You told me not to scare Ran Ran. My brother's words are more scary than mine. How did you know about such a secret thing?"

Lin Tingyu looked around at the elders. The elders were all watching Wu Zhu's sheep slaughtering ceremony seriously and devoutly, and their attention was not focused on the younger ones behind them. Lin Tingyu felt relieved.

He put his finger on his mouth and asked his brother and sister to keep quiet, then lowered his voice and said: "Yesterday I was having a banquet with some friends on the Jingshui Pavilion. At the next table was Chen Xinan's brother Chen Ziyue, who was talking about his sister's recovery from the cold.

Then it relapsed. Someone from Shangdu Prefecture happened to be here the day before, and Chen Xinan's condition worsened the next day. That's why the Chen family speculated that it was the work of Wei Mingji."

"Does guessing count?" Lin Chengyu asked in surprise, and Lin Xingwei couldn't help but nod.

Lin Xingwei then asked: "The Chen family is suspicious, do they have any real evidence?"

"Probably not," Lin Tingyu said: "If there is any solid evidence, given King Yingchuan's temperament, he would have to go to court. But the suspicion cannot be completely discounted. Then Chen Xinan has completely seen things well and has not left the house.

She was traveling and taking care of herself at home, but why did she suddenly fall ill again as soon as the people from Shangdu Prefecture left, and she was extremely ill, I heard she couldn't even get out of bed."

Lin Xingwei's hair stood on end and his heartbeat was irregular. He asked with a trembling voice: "Then how did Chen Xinan offend Wei Mingji and let him murder him like this?"

Lin Tingyu stretched out his index finger and lightly scratched the tip of Lin Xingwei's nose, and said, "It's probably for you. I heard that the person who went to Shangdu Mansion was Bao Shang. He said he wanted to express his condolences to Chen Xinan after he fell into the water. In fact, the Chen family was in trouble with what he said.

Stay away from our Lin family, mainly to keep Chen Xinan away from you, and tell King Yingchuan to take care of his daughter, and don't bother the future wife of the envoy of Shangdu Mansion again."

He added: "Wei Mingji is obviously protecting you, but actually he is protecting his own face. If one day someone in our family offends him, he will definitely retaliate against us mercilessly if he is full of hidden tricks."

Now not only Lin Xingwei was shaking with his arms folded, but even Lin Chengyu was trembling with fear. Thinking of Mrs. Hou breaking Zuo Qiuzhi's leg, the brother and sister couldn't stop trembling.

Wei Mingji suppressed his anger and even came to arrange a marriage and sent generous gifts in the name of his parents. Could it be that he was holding back a bigger evil? Or was he waiting for the marriage between the two families to be finalized before slowly taking care of the Lin family?

The drumsticks of the Nuo dance hit the sheepskin drums, and Lin Xingwei's heart shrank. The cold wind blew, and her back was soaked with sweat and turned into ice.

Three sheep heads were hung on the high pole, dripping with blood. Lin Xingwei couldn't help but shrink his neck, as if he was the sheep waiting to be slaughtered by Wei Mingji's blade.
