At least his touching performance successfully moved Aunt Cui.
As a woman whose reputation was falsely accused, she was tired of it every day. She didn't even dare to go out to socialize for fear of hearing the slightest gossip. Even when she came to the capital, she only interacted with people she had good friends with in the past, which shows that she has a serious attitude towards things.
mind.
She dreamed of clearing her name, but when she heard that this matter might affect her son, she immediately hesitated.
Cui Shihong is right. Instead of bringing up old things again and making a fuss, it is better to let the past events be buried and rot in the years, so as not to be mentioned by interested people and used as a handle to criticize Cui Weizhen.
——When she and Cui Weizhen were expelled from the family, the Cui family didn't make it known to everyone out of unknown concerns. If they were forced to do so this time, I don't know if it would be publicized.
Aunt Cui was scared and looked at Cui Weizhen worriedly, "Brother Zhen..."
"mother."
Cui Weizhen and even Aunt Cui's temperament naturally knew her concerns and what she was going to say, so he directly interrupted her and said: "Yan Guo Leaves a Trace, if someone wants to criticize my son, they can naturally find out what happened back then.
If that's the case, why do you want to leave people with excuses? The most important thing is that you are innocent. If you are burdened with infamy, how will your son have the face to see his father a hundred years later?"
Aunt Cui burst into tears. She could hear the persistence and repressed pain in her son's words, and she did not dare to dissuade him any more and said, "Okay, I will listen to you."
As an expelled person, she would not be eligible to be buried in the Cui clan's tomb a hundred years later, but her husband was still there. If possible, she would like to go back with a clean reputation and sleep with him again.
Ye Zhenzhen quickly took a clean handkerchief to wipe Aunt Cui's tears and comforted her, "Mom, please stop crying. Since Wei Zhen wants to seek justice for you, he must have already made up his mind."
Cui Shihong narrowed his eyes slightly, turned his gaze from Ye Zhenzhen to Cui Weizhen, and asked tentatively, "It seems that Wei Zhen has any ideas about reopening the old case?"
In fact, Ye Zhenzhen had never heard Cui Weizhen mention this matter, but as Cui Weizhen's fan girl, she felt from the bottom of her heart that he was omnipotent and would definitely not fight an unprepared battle, so she categorically said that he had a solution.
But Cui Shihong listened.
So she was a little confused, a little helpless and panicked, and looked at Cui Weizhen blankly, fearing that she would ruin his plan by talking nonsense.
Cui Weizhen gave her a comforting look, and when he looked at Cui Shihong and Wang Junshen, there was even a smile on his face and said, "Back then, uncles, clan members, and even uncles all believed that my mother was having an affair with someone else.
, I knew that I couldn’t defend myself, so I didn’t bother anymore, and I just waited for the opportunity to clear my mother’s wrongdoing in the future. Fortunately, my uncle and uncle are willing to believe that my mother is innocent, so the retrial of the old case will be smoother. "
These words were gentle and polite, but Cui Shihong and Wang Junshen could faintly hear the ridicule and disdain in them, as if their masks of hypocrisy and ruthlessness had been torn off, exposing the filthiness and desire for power in their hearts. Both of them had flashes in their eyes.
I felt a little embarrassed and embarrassed, but fortunately I was thick-skinned and didn't show any clues.
Cui Shihong even said nonchalantly and asked: "What, do you have a way to prove that your mother is innocent?"
Cui Weizhen nodded, "Yes, please summon the clan members to re-examine the case of my mother being falsely accused. Uncle, please be a witness and clear my mother's grievances."
Wang Junshen was startled, and glanced at his sister unconsciously. A look of shame flashed in his eyes, and his voice was slightly hoarse, "Okay, as long as the grievances on the fourth sister can be cleared away, I will naturally be willing to bear witness. Don't worry, I will be the one to bear witness."
With your mother’s backing, the Cui clan will not dare to bully you anymore.”
If he had been as determined as he is today, the mother and son would not have been expelled. In the final analysis, the compromise now is nothing more than three-quarter guilt and seven-cent profit.
Cui Weizhen's eyes flashed with sarcasm, he picked up the slightly cold tea cup and took a sip. He raised his eyelids slightly and saw Cui Shihong, whose face had sunk, frowning and deep in thought.
He can probably guess what Cui Shihong is thinking.
This was the second time that Cui Shihong was unable to control his emotions. After Cui Weizhen finished speaking, he uncontrollably wondered how this wolf cub could prove Wang Junlan's innocence.
He was the one who arranged for Wang Junlan to be framed, and his wife led people to break up the rape. On the day when the tribe punished Wang Junlan, he had his servants kill people and silence him, eliminate evidence, and leave absolutely no clues.
So, what kind of honor did Cui Weizhen have to think that he could overturn the verdict? He felt vaguely uneasy, always feeling that something had gone wrong.
In other words, the other party has no evidence at all and is just bluffing to make him confused?
Cui Shihong looked at Cui Weizhen uncontrollably, and saw that his face was calm, with the calmness and calmness of a sure victory, which was in sharp contrast with his uncertainty. This familiar look made him hate him to the core.
Once upon a time, his fifth younger brother, who was astonishingly talented and beautiful, also looked like this. He had a big chest, and he was loved by his father and praised by the world. People in the world only knew Cui Shichang, but not Cui Shihong. As the eldest son, he
He was eclipsed by the light of his younger brother.
Cui Shichang died, but his son came back hauntingly.
Cui Shihong regretted deeply, why didn't he root out this evil obstacle in the first place?
However, it was too late to say anything now. Although he was far away in Qinghe, he had also heard rumors that the emperor wanted to re-employ Cui Weizhen. Now that the family was in decline, he had to borrow power from Cui Weizhen.
In just a short moment, Cui Shihong's thoughts changed rapidly, and his expression returned to gentleness, "How do Wei Zhen plan to prove your mother's innocence? Is there any witness? Convening a clan meeting is not a trivial matter. I have to understand the situation clearly to prevent the clan members from having any trouble.
Opinions, further resenting you mother and son."
Cui Weizhen smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, uncle, my nephew won't be unreasonable. If the clan members have any dissatisfaction, just point it at my nephew, and he won't complain at all."
He knew what Cui Shihong was thinking. He just wanted to find out about the enemy so that he could defend himself. The conservatives headed by him wanted to win him over to the clan, but they also wanted to contain him. His mother's matter was the best excuse.
I don't want him to reverse the verdict.
But how can he let the other party get what he wants? He is no longer the innocent and ignorant boy he was back then.
His biological uncle used bloody facts to teach him a profound lesson. Even if blood is thicker than water, it cannot offset the temptation of profit.
