He actually had always been afraid of Li Yuanzhe. This was the case back then, and even more so now. In addition, Li Yuanzhe has inherited the position of Duke Chen, and his former slave is just an ant to Duke Chen!
But if he told the truth, he would put himself and his family in danger!
Wei Zijin saw that Wu Qing was still hesitating, as if he had guessed what he was hesitating for, and said, "If you hesitate for your wife and children, then there is no need..."
Wu Qing suddenly had an unknown premonition and struggled to get up, but his body was tightly pinched by the guards. He couldn't move, so he could only stare at him and asked, "What's wrong with them?"
Wei Zijin made a gesture, signaling him to calm down, and smiled gently, "Don't worry, they are all in a safe place, and there are people who protect them, so you don't have to worry about telling the truth, and you will put them in a disadvantageous situation!"
Wu Qing then breathed a sigh of relief, was silent for a moment, frowned and said, "I don't want to believe your words. I will meet them first before I tell the truth!"
Wei Zijin and Li Yuanzhe looked at each other, and before Wei Zijin could speak, Li Yuanzhe sneered and replied: "Wu Qing, do you think you are still qualified to bargain with us now?"
"I..." Wu Qing was speechless, looked at Li Yuanzhe, and looked at Wei Zijin again. He knew that they were not talking casually. After thinking for a moment, he raised his head and said, "No matter what, my family and I may be dead.
, Why do you think I will say it?!"
"As long as you tell the truth, we will protect you and your wife and children!" Wei Zijin stared at his eyes tightly and said solemnly: "Concealment is not good for you. If we don't have our protection, sooner or later they will be able to do so.
You will be murderous about you and your wife and children!"
Seeing that he had been shaken, Li Yuanzhe also said at the right time: "Wu Qing, you have been in the Duke's Mansion for many years. Duke Chen has never treated any servants unfairly, but in the end he was plotted against by villains. If you end up like this, you really
Are you at ease?"
Wu Qing's tightly clenched fists finally let go, and his eyes slowly felt unspeakable guilt.
After a while, he finally nodded and said with difficulty: "I promise you to tell me everything I know!"
Li Yuanzhe and Wei Zijin looked at each other, and together with Murong Lanying and several guards from the mansion, they took Wu Qing to the hidden study.
***************
When Wei Zijin returned to the palace, night had already fallen. Xiao Jingyao, who had been waiting for her to come back and have dinner together, saw that she was not depressed, and he held her waist and asked softly: "Is hungry? Dinner is ready.
alright……"
Wei Zijin shook his head and smiled a little reluctantly: "No, I have no appetite!"
Xiao Jingyao did not allow her to refuse, so he asked his servant to present the dinner and personally added a bowl of soup for her.
"Zi Jin, even for me, don't be unable to get along with your own body!"
Wei Zijin raised his eyes and met his gentle gaze, and finally slowly picked up the chopsticks.
Until she finished eating unwillingly, Xiao Jingyao continued to ask: "Tell me, have you found something?"
Wei Zijin stepped back and said everything that happened in the Duke's mansion today without missing a word. At the end, he gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "It's true that we guessed that my father was wrong back then.
The victims of Fanyang Lu family were bribed by them!”
