Wei Qingwan came along as well—not because she wanted to mingle with the He family, but because they had been persistently clinging to her.
Upon seeing Wei Mingting, Wei Qingwan quickly stepped forward. "Father."
Wei Mingting looked at the He family with a grim expression and was not in the mood to pay attention to Wei Qingwan.
Wei Qingwan panicked, unsure of what was going on. Why was her father treating her so coldly?
Could it be that her recent closeness with the He family had displeased him?
The He family entered, their hearts filled with joy, but they were immediately intimidated upon seeing Wei Mingting's expression.
It was widely said that Colonel Wei was a very stern man, and today they could see that the rumors were true!
"Lord Wei, it’s truly an honor to meet you. We’ve long heard of your reputation, and now we finally have the chance to see you in person," He Zhang said warmly as he stepped forward to greet Wei Mingting.
However, Wei Mingting’s face remained cold, leaving He Zhang unsure of what was going on.
He Zhang's smile became awkward as he looked helplessly at Wei Qingwan, hoping his biological daughter would help ease the tension at this moment.
Wei Qingwan pretended not to see it. She had no intention of getting involved with the He family, let alone risking Wei Mingting's displeasure for their sake.
The three members of the He family were suddenly at a loss.
At this moment, Yun Shi spoke, questioning the He couple:“When we sent someone to find you back then, you told us that Ruo'er had been living well with your family and that you had only sent her to the countryside to recuperate because of recent health issues. But now we’ve learned that this is far from the truth!”
Upon hearing this, He Zhang quickly explained,“Master Wei, Madam Wei, where did you hear such a thing? Could it be that Ruo'er told you this out of anger? Ruo'er was very unhappy about being sent to the countryside and didn’t understand our reasoning and good intentions. We explained it to her several times, but she just wouldn’t listen.”
He Zhang continued,“It’s all a misunderstanding! Truly a misunderstanding! We sent Ruo'er to the countryside purely for the sake of her health. What parents wouldn’t care for their children? If we hadn’t been left with no other choice, how could we bear to send her to the countryside?”
Wei Mingting said coldly,“It wasn’t Ruo’er who told us. After Ruo’er returned, she didn’t speak a single bad word about you. These are facts my son uncovered while investigating in Huzhou Prefecture.”
Hearing this, He Zhang’s planned excuses got stuck in his throat.
Wei Mingting pressed further,“You abandoned a three-year-old child in the countryside to fend for herself, all because of a fortune teller’s nonsense?”
His eyes were sharp and filled with the lethal aura of a man hardened by years on the battlefield.
Frightened by Wei Mingting’s rage, He Zhang and his wife fell to their knees.
Seeing this, He Miao’er also knelt hastily. Seeing her parents too scared to speak, she quickly explained on their behalf,“Master Wei, please don’t be angry! The fortune teller my parents hired is a renowned living deity in our area! He foretold that my elder sister’s fate would bring calamity to her parents and that before she turned eighteen, she would cause both of them to die!”
Upon hearing this, Wei Qingwan’s face also changed.
Her actual birth time was slightly different from Wei Qingruo’s. It was precisely because of this difference that Wei Qingruo was made the legitimate eldest daughter.
The He family, not knowing they had swapped daughters at the time, had used her birth time when getting Wei Qingruo’s fortune told.
Did this mean that the one who would supposedly bring calamity to her parents before the age of eighteen was actually her?
