Chapter 44 The Truth
After finishing Wei Cong's funeral, it soon came to the day before the start of school at Five Elements Academy.

Wei Ran had been dealing with his family recently, and he was very busy because of Wei Cong's funeral. He finally had time to visit the general's residence the day before he entered school.

"Finally I've been waiting for you, a busy man." When Shu Yining saw her coming, she immediately greeted her warmly. Seeing her in plain clothes, she realized that she was wearing a mourning hat, and said softly, "I know everything about your family. Having said that, please express my condolences."

Wei Ran shook his head, with a "spare me" expression: "I didn't grow up under my father's knees, and my impression of him was limited to his ruthlessness towards me on the apprenticeship banquet. To be honest, he I’m not sad at all when I leave, but I still have to pretend in front of others, so for you, forget it.”

Shu Yining didn't expect her to be so straightforward. She was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again.

She also knew how much the Wei family disliked Wei Ran. If she were in Wei Ran's shoes, she would probably do better than her.

It's just that Wei Ran didn't hold back at all when he was so straightforward in front of her. It seemed that he really regarded her as a friend.

A feeling of sympathy suddenly arose in Shu Yining's heart. She and Wei Ran were both weirdos in the eyes of others. They didn't have many friends, but if they truly recognized a friend, they would get along with them without reservation.She originally thought she was quite magnanimous, but compared to Wei Ran, she still seemed a bit inferior.

"I heard that Jin Xiayao went to Qi'an Temple to lead hair training, but what's your handiwork?" This question had been hidden in her mind for some time, and when Wei Ran finally came, she couldn't wait to get to the bottom of it.

Wei Ran raised his eyebrows, glanced at her, and smiled as if he was taking credit: "Of course."

"Hurry up and tell me how you did it!" Shu Yining's eyes immediately shone and she pulled her sleeves and asked, "That is the apple of the Jin family's eye. The head of the Jin family has always held it in his mouth for fear of melting. You are afraid of falling in your hands, what on earth have you done to make the Jin family be so cruel."

Wei Ran told her everything that happened that day. Watching her expression change from surprise to shock to disbelief, he felt a little proud that his plan had succeeded.

"It turns out that the day you asked me to send a letter to Shui Shijin, you actually set up such a big scheme! I asked why the letter Shui Shijin sent back to Jin Xiayao didn't look like any handwriting on my hand. It turned out that it was using invisible ink. You managed to calculate the time for the handwriting to appear, that’s great!”

Shu Yining suddenly realized: "But there is something I don't know. Is Jin Xiayao really having an affair with Shui Shijin? I see that the arrogant young lady cannot look down on Shui Shijin. Hasn't she always admired Lord Luoyang? ?”

Luoyang Jun is the Holy Crown Prince, and he is completely different from Shui Shijin.

Wei Ran smiled: "Of course she doesn't like it. The person who really had an affair with Shui Shijin was Jin Xialan, the third daughter of the Jin family. The stillborn baby was also hers. The scars from the gold spell on my father's body were naturally also her handiwork. As for why the doctor The pulse of miscarriage was diagnosed on her body, naturally because I sprinkled the mysterious medicine I found secretly on the invisible letter. According to Jin Xiayao's conceited temperament, if I give the thing to her directly, she will definitely be suspicious, so I deliberately asked Leng Ronglin to deliver it to Jin Zunyue for me, Leng Ronglin will definitely go to her, and when she hears that it is from me, she will definitely stop the letter."

"Your move is to retreat in order to advance. How wonderful! You have even figured out Jin Xiayao's temperament."

"Actually, she didn't lose to me, she lost to her own conceited temperament." Wei Ran thought of what Jin Xiayao had done and sighed, feeling that he would reap the consequences of his evil deeds. Even if she didn't accept it, she would sooner or later.

Shu Yining covered her mouth in surprise: "So, you used Jin Xialan to threaten Shui Shijin to give you false testimony? In order to protect Jin Xialan, Shui Shijin didn't hesitate to stand on your side to deal with Jin Xiayao for you? He doesn't have the courage. It’s too big! But having said that, I really didn’t expect that a villain like him would value friendship, it really subverted my understanding of him.”

Wei Ran opened his mouth and wanted to say of course not.Shui Shijincai is not such an affectionate person. He dares to have an affair with a woman who has not yet left the court, which shows that he is a selfish scumbag. Jin Xialan does not hold that much weight in his heart.

The reason why she threatened Shui Shijin was actually his secret collusion with the Jin family. If Master Shui knew about this matter, he would never have a foothold in the Shui family.What he cares about is his own future, and protecting Jin Xialan is just incidental.If he really cared about Jin Xialan, how could he put her in such an embarrassing situation?If the Jin family knew about the abortion, the Jin family would definitely kill her to keep the scandal under wraps. For him, Jin Xialan was nothing more than a casual pleasure. By the way, she had some value in currying favor with the Jin family.

But it wouldn't be good to tell Shu Yining so much, so she just smiled and nodded.

"But I have indeed wronged your sister." Shu Yining sighed again.

Wei Ran twitched his lips and poured himself a cup of tea to calm his shock.

"But since they dared to have an affair, the matter must be extremely secretive. How did you know about it?"

Wei Ran felt like he was choking on the tea in his mouth. He coughed twice and then said nonsensically, "I accidentally bumped into the two of them having a private meeting."

"Oh." Shu Yining said "I see", but continued to ask in the next second, "Speaking of which, the most important link in bringing down Jin Xiayao is the sudden death of the head of the Wei family. Without this link, you The whole plan is about to go to waste. But how did you know that the head of the Wei family would suddenly die suddenly that night? If you didn't know, how could you have arranged all this in advance, so that you can make such a complete plan? "

Wei Ran sighed in his heart, look, this is the disadvantage of letting Shu Yining know too much, and he will talk endlessly when asked.

She smiled playfully and said, "If I said I could predict things, would you believe it?"

Shu Yining shook her head violently without thinking, as if "You think I'm an idiot."

"This involves family scandal, so let's not mention it." Wei Ran pretended to be lonely.

"I've heard a little about the recent rumors." Seeing her appearance, Shu Yining couldn't help but asked with concern, "Is it related to the heir?"

She has seen a lot of the twists and turns of wealthy aristocrats, so she is naturally familiar with the secret ways of doing things in these big families.

"That's all, let's not mention these embarrassing things." Wei Ran's expression changed and he smiled mischievously, "Tomorrow I will go to the academy to enroll. I think I won't be able to see you for a long time, so you don't have any gifts to give me. Is it mine?"

Seeing that she really didn't want to tell, Shu Yining stopped asking, gave her an angry look, and said: "I said it's such a good day that you have time to come see me, and your feelings are here to collect debts, so I'm not ashamed, just wait. "

After that, she turned around and went back to the house to get her things.

When I came back, I had a nanmu box in my hand.
