Chapter 140 Wei Hongwen Turns Over a New Leaf
Hehe, my helping points also increased by fifty, not bad!
Before leaving, Qin Wanying went to Chen Ning's place again.
Chen Ning became much more respectful to her, and stood up to speak to her directly.
"Lord Chen, today I worked on a case with Vice Minister Yue and Vice Minister Wei, and I felt that we cooperated very well. I would like to work on cases with them again in the future, and I hope that you will approve my request," Qin Wanying said.
Chen Ning looked troubled.
He wanted to agree, but felt it wasn't quite in accordance with the rules.
Although Qin Wanying was capable, she did not hold an official position. Le Xiuyuan and Wei Hongwen were the Vice Minister and Assistant Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, respectively. They had their own official duties to attend to, and it was unclear whether they would be willing to accompany Qin Wanying on her case.
"Lord Chen can ask these two people. If they are unwilling, I will not force them," Qin Wanying said, seeing Chen Ning's concerns.
Chen Ning's brows finally relaxed.
If both of them agree, he certainly has no objections.
After Qin Wanying left, he summoned the two of them together.
He told the two of them about what Qin Wanying had proposed.
Surprisingly, both of them readily agreed, as if they felt it was an honor to work with Qin Wanying.
It seems that the three of them went out to handle the case together this time, and he was unaware of the details, but the other two must have been deeply impressed by Qin Wanying's abilities.
After leaving the yamen, Wei Hongwen returned home.
Wei Hongwen's mother was sitting in the main hall.
Wei Hongwen looked at his mother, his eyes a little red.
Qin Wanying's inner thoughts were that her mother would be driven to death by her in the future.
Thinking about this, Wei Hongwen felt like he wasn't human.
Fortunately, nothing has happened yet, and there's still time.
At this moment, a servant came to report: "Second Young Master, Young Master Fang is outside the door and wants you to come out."
That young master Fang was one of Wei Hongwen's cronies. He was probably coming to see him at this time to take him to the gambling den.
Wei Hongwen's mother immediately straightened her face.
She didn't want Wei Hongwen to associate with those shady friends, but Wei Hongwen wouldn't listen.
She's old and doesn't care anymore.
He thought his son would jump up and go out to find that young master Fang, but to his surprise, Wei Hongwen didn't move at all.
He instructed his servant: "Go tell Young Master Fang that I am unwell today and cannot go out. In the future, whether it is Young Master Fang, Young Master Zhao, Young Master Li, Young Master Hu, or Young Master Liu who comes to see me, just say the same thing and send them away."
The mother's eyes widened in surprise.
What did she hear?
My son has actually stopped associating with those shady friends?
It's like the sun has risen in the west!
The servant was also taken aback, and immediately went to inform the servant.
The mother asked in confusion, "Hongwen, why didn't you go out with them?"
Wei Hongwen looked at his mother, and his eyes almost welled up with tears again.
He stood up and solemnly knelt before his mother: "Mother, I used to associate with those bad friends and gamble with them, causing you so much worry. I know I was wrong, and I will never associate with them again, nor will I gamble again."
Seeing Wei Hongwen like this, the mother's mouth dropped open.
Wait, is she dreaming? How could her son say something like that?
What the hell is wrong with him?
The mother hurriedly asked, "Hongwen, tell me the truth, do I have some kind of terminal illness?"
Wei Hongwen was speechless.
Mother, what are you thinking about every day?
Is it some kind of fantasy that your son has turned over a new leaf?
"Mother, don't overthink it. You're perfectly healthy." If he doesn't drive you to your death, you should be able to live for many more years.
"Today, Miss Qin said that if I don't quit gambling, I will squander all the family fortune and even anger you to death. My son is scared now and will never gamble again, nor will he associate with those bad friends again."
Miss Qin, is that the Miss Qin who came during the day?
When the Dali Temple was handling the case, she, being a woman, didn't go out to watch.
However, I only peeked through the crack in the door.
That Miss Qin was very beautiful.
She exclaimed at the time, "That Marquis of Dingbei really knows how to have children, he has such a beautiful daughter!"
I thought she was just a pretty face, but I never expected her to be so capable, solving such a huge problem for their family! She's truly an amazing person!
Now he's even managed to reform his son!
That Miss Qin is simply their family's savior!
Wei Hongwen went straight into the study.
In the past, when Wei Hongwen came home, he would wander around here and there.
This is the first time I've ever been to the study.
Mother Wei secretly followed behind and peeked into the study. The scene before her eyes was absolutely shocking.
Hongwen is actually studying!
It appears he was looking at a book compiled by the Dali Temple.
Her son was notorious for being lazy and incompetent, always ranking last in exams, and only got into the Dali Temple through connections.
Now, they actually know how to study!
Mother Wei closed her mouth and went directly to find the Marquis and her eldest son.
The three people peeked out from outside the door and were so surprised they couldn't close their mouths.
It was clear that Wei Hongwen wasn't just glancing at it; he was studying very seriously and diligently.
So focused was he that he didn’t even notice the people outside the door.
The people outside the door walked a little further away.
"What's wrong with Hongwen today? Has he been possessed?" the prince asked.
"What do you mean by 'possessing a body'? There's no such thing as possession in this world!" The Marquis patted the young master's head.
But then again, who knows?
If it wasn't possession, who can explain why Hongwen suddenly seemed like a completely different person?
Mother Wei said, "Today, it seems that Miss Qin said something to Hongwen, and then Hongwen was like a different person. Not only did he go to his study to study, but he also didn't go out when his friends came to see him today! He even told the servant that he would not see his friends anymore and would not associate with them anymore!"
The Marquis and his son stared wide-eyed.
The sun really did rise in the west.
Previously, this youngest son had caused the Marquis's family a lot of trouble.
The Yongning Marquis's family had only two sons. The elder son was more sensible and made the Marquis worry less.
This youngest son is always getting himself into trouble, and I'm too old to care anymore.
The Crown Prince and his younger brother had a very good relationship, but he didn't want to see his brother fall into depravity, so he would often give him advice. However, Hongwen would always fall asleep every time.
This Miss Qin actually managed to reform Wei Hongwen's ways.
This Miss Qin is amazing!
Today, they witnessed Miss Qin's abilities.
Single-handedly, he revealed the entire list of Wang Mama's relatives, directly stated the location of Wang Mama's residence, and accurately pinpointed the location where the jade pendant was hidden.
More importantly, they helped them find Aze!
They were extremely grateful to Qin Wanying.
Now, it's amazing that Hongwen has been able to turn over a new leaf!
Their whole family wanted to treat Qin Wanying like a goddess.
Mother Wei pondered, "Hongwen is of marriageable age, and I think Miss Qin is just the right age. What do you think of a possibility between them?"
