My Reason for Calmness Chapter 61

Gavin was so angry with Elijah that he couldn't put on a good face when he saw Wei Ning. Of course, Wei Ning's arrival itself made Gavin unhappy.

Wei Ning complained to Gavin like a bullied wife, "This case has been investigated to the Second Prince, I am so worried. When the Queen Mother gets the news, she will definitely ask about it. Besides, I am the Second Prince's uncle anyway, and I should avoid suspicion according to the law. But I have always been soft-hearted, and I have been in the court for so many years, so it is inevitable that someone will hear the wind and say this and that. Moreover, this matter first involves Princess Jingmin, but the little princess is Mingzhan's wife, and it may be aimed at Mingzhan. Later, it involves the Second Prince, and it may also be aimed at the Wei family. If I stay in the imperial capital, maybe this person has a backup plan. The emperor loves me, so he sent me to live with my second cousin for a few days. In this way, the Second Prince, I, and Mingzhan are all separated, so we can try to find out what the mastermind behind the scenes is."

"Don't worry, second cousin. I know the rules and I dare not disturb you when you are doing your work." Wei Ning lowered his eyebrows and eyes, drooped his shoulders, and looked pitiful. "Now, except for my second cousin, who else can take me in?"

Gavin rubbed his brows. He must have been unfilial in his previous life, so he had to deal with such a cunning fellow. "You are the one investigating this case. You have been the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple for more than a year or two. You should have a good grasp of the situation. If anyone dares to cause trouble to you, just tell me. I will not let them off."

Wei Ning was really wrongly killed this time. He really had no clue about this case, but seeing Gavin's determined look, he whispered, "No matter how unpromising I am, I can't tell on others behind their backs, otherwise what kind of person will my brother become."
