"They let Wei Qintian stay at ho, letting Lang go to lose his life. They really know how to sche!"
The Yu Family looked at Wei Zhao.
"Child, you’ve suffered a lot these years, haven’t you?"
"How old were you when you left?"
"Fortunately, you’re back. Once you get better, live well with your wife, and give your parents a grandchild."
Hui Niang had a mont of daze; there were scattered tears in her eyes.
"Right."
She murmured, "Fortunately, Lang is alright."
Wei Zhao half-lowered his eyes and didn’t speak.
Yu Tingwan was even more silent than usual.
Both she and Wei Zhao knew.
Wei Shen didn’t last two years in the military camp; he was completely buried at the border.
He was young but trained desperately. At the last mont when he closed his eyes, he might still have been unwilling.
His parents and sister were all waiting for his safe return.
But Wei Shen could never return.
————
Wei Zhao was not in good spirits and didn’t eat much for dinner. Yu Tingwan pushed him back to the room.
As the night fell, the room was lit up, driving away the darkness.
The charcoal fire was burning.
The body ward up.
Yu Tingwan took off her heavy cotton-padded clothes: "What will happen with the Wei Family’s main house?"
Wei Zhao was tired and sleepy: "This kind of phenonon is probably not uncommon. The Governnt Office would never open this loophole only for the Wei Family. What should be the most rigorous matter has turned into a joke and must be reported to the Court."
During Da Jin’s conscription, constables from various places must be sent to understand the situation and list eligible n.
The lists were submitted collectively to the Governnt Office. Once the ti ca, those on the list gathered at the Governnt Office, to be sent up layer by layer.
Once in the centralized training camp, only those who passed the training were eligible to be picked by the different military camps.
The waters inside are too deep.
Wei Zhao: "As far as I know, each step of identity verification is essential in the process of layer-by-layer transmission."
But Wei Shen still went to the training camp.
The Wei Family had neither money nor power; could they have bribed everyone?
It proves that all the officials who handled it were negligent!
"Any official or constable involved in this matter, execution of the entire clan would not be excessive."
Wei Zhao: "As for the common people..."
"It’s just impersonation if the nas ca from the family’s side."
He suppressed the sarcasm: "If the number of impersonators is small, those in charge upstairs will definitely punish severely as a warning to others. But if there are many people involved, the one on the throne might have to put on a façade of benevolence again."
"However, with He Xuran, they won’t get away with it lightly."
Wei Zhao: "Those people from the Wei Family walked into the cell today, but they’ll co out half-dead."
Yu Tingwan understood.
Seeing Wei Zhao said so much and only undid two buttons, she couldn’t bear it.
The girl walked closer and bent down.
Fingertips touched.
The girl’s hands were warm, while his were cold.
Wei Zhao’s fingertips paused and let go.
Let Yu Tingwan continue with her actions.
Yu Tingwan’s movents were very skilled, she didn’t blush or even blink an eye.
It was just taking off a cotton-padded coat.
If it ca to unbuttoning Wei Zhao’s inner pants and seeing him completely, Yu Tingwan thought she could remain calm like still water.
It’s just a pity, the man wouldn’t let her touch him.
So petty.
Yu Tingwan had expressed it before.
—Husband, if you’re afraid of losing out, at most you can look back at , I don’t mind.
But...
Wei Zhao side-eyed her.
He said he minded.
Previously, whenever Yu Tingwan found a chance, she’d try to take advantage.
After a long ti of not succeeding, she beca quite frustrated and wasn’t so active.
At least this ti, after taking off Wei Zhao’s cotton-padded coat, the girl didn’t make provocative moves when he was unaware by touching inside his hem.
Then, voices ca from outside the window.
It was Zhao Yu coming back.
He had stayed long next door.
Unlike his usual composure, Zhao Yu’s eyes carried a rare joy.
As soon as he returned, he went to find Wei Zhao’s silhouette.
"Your cousin’s body couldn’t hold up, he’s back inside."
The Yu Family pulled the person, urgently asking, "How did it go?"
Everyone gathered around.
Zhao Yu’s face was flushed with excitent.
When he went previously, he was nervous.
After all, his knowledge was limited. Whatever Mr. Zhao asked, he probably wouldn’t have been able to answer nine tis out of ten.
But Mr. Zhao, after taking him into the study, just asked about his usual reading habits and then explained everything Zhao Yu wrote down.
Mr. Zhao explained well, without being tedious or boring.
Zhao Yu listened intently.
After the explanation, Mr. Zhao asked if Zhao Yu had any questions.
Zhao Yu pointed them out without pretending to understand what he didn’t.
Mr. Zhao explained patiently; once Zhao Yu indicated he understood everything, Mr. Zhao unexpectedly asked Zhao Yu to explain it back to him line by line.
Zhao Yu showed everyone a few books in his arms.
"These are early annotations made by Mr. Zhao."
Zhao Yu: "He let take them ho to study."
He felt slightly light-headed at that mont.
"Mr. Zhao also told to prepare to go back to the county for studies."
The Yu Family was thrilled: "Really!"
"Our ancestors must be smiling down on us."
"Mother doesn’t wish for you to beco a Scholar right now. Knowing more words, understanding more right from wrong, even if you end up writing letters for people at the marketplace, or working as an accountant in a tea house or a restaurant, it’s better than laboring fields like your father."
Yu Tingwan heard everything outside clearly.
After assisting Wei Zhao onto the bed and tucking him in, she was about to go and join the fun.
But as she took a few steps, Wei Zhao’s voice ca from behind.
"In two days, it’s the last acupuncture session."
"With so many people at ho, it’s probably inconvenient. Shunzi has found an adequately secluded place; Elder Ge suggests I should go there tomorrow."
Yu Tingwan stopped in her tracks, her mind elsewhere.
"Why are you only telling now? I’m going too."
She turned back, serious: "You won’t co to harm."
Wei Zhao chuckled lightly.
"Seems you have confidence in ."
But his voice was calm, devoid of any emotion.
Wei Zhao: "If I really..."
He paused.
"The evidence for your parents’ case is on its way."
"I know you’re still resentful about the disaster relief fund from back then; the Wei Family Army will assist He Xuran in investigating it thoroughly."
"The house in the alley, in reality, is under your na. Whether it’s left vacant or allowing the Zhao couple to live there, it’s up to you."
"If you need anything, look for Rong Di. He’s at the blacksmith’s shop in the town; you should rember the way."
"The cook who prepares dicinal als will follow you."
"Of the gold and silver I’ve collected during these tis, half will be left to the Wei Family Army brothers who’ve been with for years, and the rest will be left to you."
"Sounds a bit cliché, but you are intelligent and have your own opinions, you will definitely live well."
Yu Tingwan frowned deeply.
She breathed heavily with so bitterness.
The girl stepped forward, staring intently at Wei Zhao, who was leaning half-up and pale.
"What do you an?"
"First, you talk about the child and the future. Then turn around and settle the will without making a sound, making everything perfectly arranged, leaving no problems?"
She was annoyed: "That’s a bit much."
"Leaving this, leaving that. Wow, you really leave no stone unturned."
"In the future, even when I buy a candied hawthorn, I’ll have to think it’s what the Wei-nad man scrapped from sobody else’s private stash?"
Wei Zhao gazed at the girl’s angry face.
Initially, he didn’t think he’d live. Had he known he’d et Yu Tingwan, he would have left room.
Wei Zhao’s Adam’s apple moved: "The words I said during the day are my heart’s desire. I want to be a real couple with you."
He is a Military General, always prudent.
Always has to make a plan with two contingencies.
His voice was sowhat hoarse: "Besides my past achievents and titles, my flesh is mortal, what does it count for? Whether I can endure it is uncertain."
Yu Tingwan sat down and stressed: "But I’m certain!"
Wei Zhao: ...
Yu Tingwan: "Really!"
Wei Zhao leaned closer to her.
Took the peace charm he never left behind and hung it around her neck.
For once, the man who never crossed any lines rested his head against her forehead.
Without any other movents, it still made Yu Tingwan’s heart tremble slightly.
Wei Zhao’s voice was low and hoarse.
"I’m not a good person. Those words earlier were deliberately ant for you to hear, afraid you’d be carefree."
Amidst intertwined breaths, the smile on his face was faint.
"I’m sorry."
"Falling for the first ti, inevitably behaving outrageously."
He raised his hand, pressing against the girl’s heart.
"I want here..."
"To be only mine."
