Chapter 22
Lu Heng looked at Wang Yanqing through the mist, and found that Wang Yanqing could recognize facial expressions very quickly, and he could even see what was on his mind. He originally thought that Wang Yanqing was relying on others to exercise the habit of observing words and feelings early, but now it seems that this is more like a natural and keen intuition.
Innate sensitivity, coupled with acquired exercise, created her almost evil "mind reading". Previous life experience told her to cover up her strangeness, so she deliberately restrained, it was not obvious that she was mixed in the back house, and outsiders thought she was quick to respond at most. Now that she has lost her memory, she acts as innocent and ignorant as a child, but she often speaks astonishingly, and this shocking talent is highlighted.
Lu Heng's eyes moved slightly and looked at Wang Yanqing more carefully. Wang Yanqing was stared at by such eyes and asked with a smile, "Second brother, why are you looking at me like this? Did I say something wrong?"
Although she smiled, her shoulders tensed unknowingly. Lu Heng smiled lightly, took Wang Yanqing's hand, and found that her fingertips were cold.
Lu Heng slowly kneaded Wang Yanqing's slender fingertips and said, "Qingqing, you don't have to cater to me. You can say whatever you want, you don't need to figure out what I want to hear."
She is naturally good at seeing people's "faces", and has a very strong ability to perceive emotions, and can guess what the other party wants to hear based on subtle changes in expressions. This is indeed a survival skill, but Lu Heng does not want Wang Yanqing to use these skills on him.
He wanted to see the real Wang Yanqing even more.
Wang Yanqing was startled and tried to ask, "Isn't that what you guys are like?"
Lu Heng couldn't help laughing and laughed softly: "Of course not. If everyone in the world has your ability, the emperor doesn't have to be angry with those idiots every day. This is a gift from God, you can use it to protect yourself. , but speak to me as directly as you can without looking ahead.”
It was the first time Wang Yanqing learned that she was different from others, and she couldn't help but observe Lu Heng's expression: "Really?"
"Really." Lu Heng sat down and let her look. This is indeed his truth, not afraid of her seeing it. Lu Heng grabbed Wang Yanqing's fingers and said with a smile, "You and I are brothers and sisters who grew up together. We are closer than biological siblings. Brothers and sisters, if you don't speak frankly with me, who else will remind me?"
Wang Yanqing was relieved, his body could not help relaxing, and the smile on his face became real: "Okay."
Lu Heng felt the touch of jade in the palm of his hand, and silently examined her. Catching her was purely an accident. Lu Heng originally wanted to make an offer on Wang Yanqing, but when he found out that she lost her memory, Lu Heng immediately changed his mind. He planned to carve her into a secret weapon against Fu Tingzhou, but now Lu Heng discovered that Wang Yanqing was more useful than he thought.
Such a rare talent, such a strong ability to monitor emotions, it would be too expensive to stay in the back house to intrigue. She should have a wider world.
Lu Heng looked at Wang Yanqing and smiled, suddenly sitting upright, holding Wang Yanqing's hand quite solemnly and asking, "Qingqing, would you like to do your second brother a favor?"
"Help?" Wang Yanqing's eyes widened in surprise, "Me?"
Although Wang Yanqing still knew a little about the world, she knew that Lu Heng was the commander of Jin Yiwei. Judging from everyone's attitude towards him, he had a lot of power in his hands. How could such a person need her help?
Thinking like this, Wang Yanqing also said: "I don't know anything, and I don't know anyone, how can I help my second brother..."
Lu Heng squeezed her hand hard to stop her words: "Don't belittle yourself, Qingqing can help me a lot. A few days ago, I sent a book, and Liang Wei, a thousand householder of Jinyiwei in Baoding, died, and his wife Liang Wei died. Wen's reported that the eldest daughter actually communicated with others at this juncture. The Baoding government sentenced the woman to death and handed it over to the capital for review."
There is no local authority to impose the death penalty, and any murder case must be handed over to the capital for review. Only with the approval of the capital can the local government execute the execution. If the capital feels that there is a problem, the entire case will have to be retrial. This case involved Jinyiwei, so it did not go through the six parts, but was given internal instructions by Jinyiwei.
Wang Yanqing frowned, thinking for a moment and then asking, "Is Liang Wenshi the biological mother of Liang Wei's eldest daughter?"
Lu Heng had a smile in his eyes, very smart, and this caught the point. Lu Heng didn't answer, but instead asked, "Why do you ask that?"
"It doesn't make sense." Wang Yanqing replied, "How can my daughter have the mind to communicate with others when her father dies? Even if she did something like this during her father's filial piety, her mother should find a way to cover it up. Take the initiative to report to the court? There is only one possibility, Liang Wenshi is not her mother, but her stepmother."
Lu Heng nodded, confirming her guess: "Yes, Liang Wenshi is indeed Liang Wei's wife. What else?"
Wang Yanqing was helpless: "You don't tell me any information, how can I guess? But most of the stepmother's harm to the children of the original spouse is for profit. She dares to blatantly harm the daughter left by the original spouse, and most of them rely on her own. Does she have any children?"
"Yes." Lu Heng nodded and replied happily, "Liang Wei has two sons, the eldest son and the eldest daughter are from the original wife Liu, only the younger son is from the step-wife. And I can tell you a little more, A thousand households of Jinyiwei can be hereditary, and when Liang Wei died, his son should inherit the position of a thousand households. As for which son falls on, it depends on the situation."
