Qin Jiang exploded, "I never said that! It was you!"
Wei Ting said calmly, "My subordinate witnessed it. Yuchi Xiu."
Yuchi Xiu, who had been waiting outside the imperial study, instantly appeared at the doorway.
He looked at Qin Jiang and stated expressionlessly, "That’s right, I heard it. You said exactly that!"
Bullshit, he wasn't even present at the time.
Qin Jiang's teeth gritted together audibly.
"I didn't see you!"
Yuchi Xiu retorted righteously, "I'm an undercover guard. If I let you see me, I might as well quit this job!"
Qin Jiang felt like he was about to cough up blood.
The fish rots from the head down, this master and servant duo were utterly shameless!
Qin Jiang's lungs were on the verge of exploding.
"Your Majesty! I swear to heaven, I absolutely never said such a thing—"
Wei Ting replied solemnly, "I can swear too, in my father's name."
Qin Jiang could no longer control himself.
"Your father is already dead!"
Wei Ting looked at him with a wounded expression.
"So Lord Qin is bullying me because I'm a fatherless child?"
Qin Jiang choked.
No.…..
What kind of logic is this? How did we even get here?
And... a child?
Aren't you in your twenties?
Aren't you embarrassed to call yourself a child?
Wei Ting lowered his gaze and sighed melancholically.
"I know that the Wei family is no longer what it used to be. Everyone wants to step on us right now. If someone confronted me frankly and honestly, I would respect them as a true warrior. But what’s the point of provoking me?"
Wei Ting spoke so convincingly that if Qin Jiang weren’t the one involved, he might have believed it.
Qin Jiang was furious, his head was buzzing.
"Nonsense! I obviously never provoked you! You crashed into my carriage out of nowhere! Once wasn’t enough, you had to do it again!"
Wei Ting looked utterly innocent.
"Lord Qin, how can you say that? If you hadn’t provoked me, why would I choose you over everyone else on the street? Do I have nothing better to do? Or perhaps... has Lord Qin done something recently to wrong me, causing me to seek vengeance?"
"You—"
Qin Jiang was left speechless, his face flushed and veins bulging in his neck.
What more could he not grasp at this point?
Wei Ting was certainly seeking vengeance!
He had obviously figured out that Qin Jiang was the one behind Consort Xian’s accusations.
Yet, he couldn’t admit it.
Otherwise, instead of simply insulting Wei Ting, the charge of conspiring with a consort would be significantly more serious.
This was a bitter pill Qin Jiang had no choice but to swallow.
Qin Jiang’s reckless comments were wrong, but Wei Ting’s public assault was far more unacceptable.
Emperor Jingxuan sentenced Wei Ting to one month of house arrest and a six-month suspension of his official salary.
Wei Ting had a slightly aggrieved expression.
“I accept the house arrest, but could the salary suspension be waived?”
Emperor Jingxuan asked, “Why? Are you short on money?”
“Extremely”, Wei Ting replied without batting an eye, glancing at Qin Jiang.
“After all, I’m not like Lord Qin, who can just casually acknowledge someone as his father.”
Qin Jiang: “……!!”
After having a rib broken by Wei Ting’s carriage collision, Qin Jiang was now so enraged by Wei Ting’s statements that he coughed up blood.
Qin Jiang had to be carried out.
Emperor Jingxuan had absolutely no desire to see Wei Ting any longer.
“You may leave as well!” He said sternly.
Wei Ting lingered, reluctant to leave.
“What about my salary…”
Emperor Jingxuan suppressed his anger. “The suspension is revoked!”
At the moment, all Emperor Jingxuan wanted was for this troublemaker to leave immediately! Out of sight, out of mind!
Yet Wei Ting showed no intention of departing.
“Your Majesty, you don’t look well.”
Emperor Jingxuan: And whose fault is that?!
Wei Ting stated solemnly, "I received a salary from Your Majesty and consequently shares Your Majesty's concerns. Because Your Majesty is burdened by troubles, it is only appropriate that I alleviate Your Majesty's concerns and difficulties.”
Why do I find it hard to believe Wei Ting’s words?
Emperor Jingxuan felt a sense of dread.
Wei Ting continued, “I studied some Buddhist scriptures during my time at the temple. Allow me to recite a passage for you.”
As he spoke, he very naturally pulled a wooden fish out of his wide sleeve.
Emperor Jingxuan’s brow twitched!
……
Wei Ting swaggered out of the palace fifteen minutes later, having ‘alms gathered’ three thousand taels in silver notes.
Wei Ting said calmly, "My subordinate witnessed it. Yuchi Xiu."
Yuchi Xiu, who had been waiting outside the imperial study, instantly appeared at the doorway.
He looked at Qin Jiang and stated expressionlessly, "That’s right, I heard it. You said exactly that!"

-Wooden fish
