"Wei Qingwan, you don't need me to remind you if there are any disputes between you and me. Given our relationship, why should I be willing to help you?" Wei Ruo asked.
"It was my sister who made mistakes in the past, and it was me who overestimated my ability and acted against her. I hope that my sister will not forget the faults of others and can forgive me." Wei Qingwan apologized again.
"I heard your apology, but I still don't intend to help you." Wei Ruo replied with an indifferent expression.
At this moment, Wei Qingwan's inner defense collapsed.
No matter how much psychological preparation she did before coming, she could no longer deal with it calmly when she saw Wei Qingruo humiliating herself like this.
"Sister, what else do you want from me? What else do you want from me before you forgive me?" Wei Qingwan pursed her lips, eyes red, and asked Wei Ruo in a trembling voice.
"What you want is your business, and my choice not to forgive is also my business." Wei Ruo replied.
"I've already knelt here to apologize to you for letting you trample my self-esteem under your feet. What else can't you be angry about?" "What? If you apologize, I must forgive
you?" Wei Ruo asked.
Wei Qingwan stared at Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo continued: "If you apologize sincerely, then be prepared that I will not forgive you. Apology is your way of expressing your regret and recognizing your mistakes, so you must be prepared for the other party not to accept the apology. Think that as long as If you apologize, I have to forgive you and help you again. That's not an apology, it's just a show you put on to achieve your own goals." Wei Ruo ruthlessly exposed
Wei Qingwan.
Wei Qingwan's face turned green and white, and she looked really good-looking.
If this was the case before, she would have responded to Wei Ruo, but today, she has not yet reacted, but stared at Wei Ruo with resentment in her eyes.
Wei Ruo looked at these resentful eyes and knew that his judgment was correct.
She was almost done watching the show, and nothing happened that surprised her.
So Wei Ruo stood up and waved his hand: "Send Prince Yu's concubine away."
Wei Qingwan was still stunned, and she was suddenly shocked when she heard that Wei wanted to drive her away.
"Sister!" Wei Qingwan called Wei Ruo, "Sister, listen to me! If you help me, you are also helping yourself. Prince Rui will not live long. You need someone to rely on in the future! I can help you, Prince Yu can help Your..."
Wei Ruo couldn't hear what she said next.
Lin Fang and another maid "invited" Wei Qingwan out of Songzhuyuan.

Since Prince Rui and his wife presented Shenwu cannons and thunderbolt bombs, the emperor began to consider selecting one of the princes to be responsible for the mass production of copper cannons and thunderbolt bombs. This caused a dispute between King Yu's faction and King Jing's faction in the court. .
Both sides held their own opinions and had a heated argument in the morning for several days.
Both King Yu and King Jing wanted to win the task of supervising the construction of cannons and thunderbolts. For them, this was not only an excellent opportunity for meritorious service, but also a good opportunity for them to take control of the Ministry of Industry.
In addition, the firearms to be made this time are very powerful. Whoever can take the technology of making these firearms into their own hands will have more initiative.
However, the emperor has not made a decision for a long time, leaving everyone confused.
Therefore, in addition to arguing in the court, both King Yu and King Jing sent greeting cards to Prince Rui's Mansion.
Wei Jin also replied that he was in poor health and could not see guests.
He continued to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, letting King Jing and King Yu's people fight to the death. A few days later, the corruption and bribery case of Wen Chong, a cabinet scholar, came out. The person who reported it was a good concubine in Master Wen's house. Because she was bullied by Mrs. Wen and almost died, she went to the government to sue Mrs. Wen for troubling human life. She was a good concubine. , do not kill at will.
It was originally just a small matter of competing for favor between wives and concubines, but who would have thought that this trial would actually lead to a case of corruption and bribery.
This Lord Wen was Qi Yansong's confidant and a supporter of King Yu. His corruption case implicated King Yu.
The emperor reprimanded King Yu during the morning court, and even ordered the Inspectorate to investigate the matter thoroughly and investigate the matter thoroughly.
When something happens at this juncture, people have to suspect that someone is behind the scenes, and the most likely person is King Jing.
In fact, the person who did this was indeed Chu Lan.
Chu Lan had already made plans over the years, and the situation was obviously one-sided in favor of King Yu, but if he could become the final winner and ascend to the throne in the original work, he must have had the chips in hand early.
But when these chips will be released depends on how the situation changes.
It seemed that this fight made Chu Lan feel that she had to do something to stabilize herself.
Although King Yu was caught off guard, he did not admit defeat in vain.
They also gave Chu Lan a counterattack and revealed that the son of the left servant of the Ministry of Finance was drinking, causing trouble and injuring people. Although they could not directly hurt Chu Lan, there was still a chance for Chu Lan to lose a general.
In addition, the previous investigation on the attack on King Rui also gained some insights.
The Inspector Zuodu Yushi reported to the Emperor that although the weapons used by the black-clad assassins who raided King Rui were not clearly marked, it was found that the forging workshop was the most famous forging shop in the east of the city. This forging shop does not sell privately to civilians. Weapons are only provided to a few families who have the power to set up private military forces, including the Qi family.
This investigation result once again made the emperor suspicious of Qi Yansong and King Yu.
So the emperor, who had great trust in Qi Yansong, changed his previous attitude and withdrew many of the privileges given to Qi Yansong. Many things that Qi Yansong had originally handled on his behalf were changed to be handled by himself.
Qi Yansong, who knew that he had never made such an arrangement, suspected that Chu Lan was setting the blame on him to suppress himself and Wang Yu's faction.
At this point, the relationship between King Yu's faction and King Jing's faction was completely in dire straits.
After struggling like this for a month, the emperor was so annoyed that he handed over the responsibility of supervising the construction of Shenwu cannons and thunderbolts to the King of Qin, who had never had any sense of existence before the investigation of several cases came to a final conclusion.
King Xingsan of Qin was older than King Yu and King Jing, but he had been lame since he was a child. In addition, his mother was born as a palace maid, and her abilities in all aspects were really not outstanding. When she was studying in the Imperial College, she did not perform well, so she never had a sense of existence.
This time I got a good job for nothing and got a big deal.
King Yu and King Jing suffered both losses.
Wei Ruo learned this information from Wei Jinyi and Lin Fang.
It's quite interesting to hear these things as a story.
"As expected, they are all thousand-year-old foxes." Wei Ruo commented while pinching his chin.
Then he raised his eyes and glanced at Wei Jinyi in front of him, and added: "You too." It
was very rare for Wei Jinyi to be in Wei Ruo's room today. Of course, Wei Ruo sent someone to invite him over.
Wei Jin, who was called a thousand-year-old fox by Wei Ruo, could not refute and just looked at Wei Ruo quietly.
