When he heard that his daughter was following his grandmother out again, the Mrs. Bi became furious. He couldn't care less about the strangeness of the inn, he could only hate his daughter for following his mother-in-law wholeheartedly.
She angrily ran over to look for Bi Hanxi, asking him what exactly she had done with her grandmother that scared the little girl so much that she didn't know what to do.
When the Old Madem heard that her daughter-in-law was forcing her granddaughter, he rushed over to argue with her. Mrs. Bi was filled with resentment, and could not care less as he charged towards the old lady.
Asked her loudly what she despised about her, and she gave birth to children for Bi Family. She served the older, younger, and older ones for twenty odd years, so how could she let down this family?
As for the Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi, he was still immersed in the fear of his own actions being seen through by the Emperor.
He came to scold his wife and mother angrily, blaming them for not understanding his difficulties, scolding his wife in front of the crowd, asking how long she was going to last.
Mrs. Bi laughed desolately: "Alright, I was the one who caused this. I was the one who stopped your family from reuniting. If I die, all of you can rest in peace."
He saw her head slam into the corner of the table. Fortunately, a servant girl blocked her attack, but the impact caused her to feel dizzy and angry.
"Mother, mother …" Bi Hanxi saw that her mother was unconscious, and started to cry anxiously.
The Mrs. Bi was carried away, the old lady was escorted away, and Bi Hanxi was left alone in her room with only the wet nurse accompanying him.
"Everything is fine, how did it suddenly become like this?" Hanxi asked her wet nurse with tears in her eyes.
The wet nurse sighed helplessly, "Miss, I have to say something that should not be said. What should be done in this world must be returned."
After calming himself down, Hanxi worried about her mother's body and rushed to the main courtyard. She saw that all the servant girls had been sent away, afraid that her parents would quarrel again.
As soon as he stepped into the doorway, he heard his mother ask his father, "The Emperor refused to help us, and Wei Tengfei rejected you as well?"
"So he doesn't seem to have turned me down." "He also seems eager to warn me about the industry. Either he forgot to refuse or he didn't care."
"Yet another industry... How did Wei Tengfei get involved too? " Mother sobbed a bit and asked, "As for the things that everyone knows, only I don't know. Are we still husband and wife?"
Father sighed and said, "Don't make a fuss, can I discuss the industry with you? Now that even the Emperor has interfered, what else do you want? Right now, I am unable to protect myself. The old officials in the court poured out batch after batch. Unknowingly, it was my turn. Your brother rejected you, right? He knows that nothing is more important than keeping his black hat. It's useless for you to go and find him. "
But then, he turned around and heard his father saying: "I want to marry Little Xi to Wei Tengfei, so that I can at least save the reputation of our Bi Family and pave the way for Zhenye in the future, so that it won't affect Zhenye in the future.
Mother asked, "You're going to use your daughter to protect this family?"
His father sighed heavily, "The Emperor doesn't have six palaces, so there's no hope. The Shen family's threshold is too high, and our only son has already married the princess, so we don't have any hope anymore. There's only Wei Tengfei left, although he's a little older than Hanxi, but he can't be considered old even if he's thirty years old.
"That won't do, the Chuanyu are so far away, Wei Tengfei is even thirty-two years old now …" The Mrs. Bi opposed with all his might.
"Then watch as I lose my black muslin hat and see how Zhenye's future is ruined. You just wait for his rise to the top in his industry and come clean up our debts." "Are you willing?"
Hanxi was so frightened that she started trembling. So the guardian that Mother mentioned was her marriage. Father wanted to marry him to that person?
She accidentally knocked into a flower rack at the corner of the door and a pot of flowers fell down, startling the people inside. When her father rushed out to see what was going on, he saw his daughter and his face darkened: "Are you hiding here to eavesdrop?"
"I …"
Everything she explained now was useless. Her parents were not calm, and everyone was furious. She could only lower her head and listen to her father's lecture.
Later on, Hanxi was carried by his mother and his mother stroked her back. Their self-blame scared their daughter and they choked with sobs as they said, "Little Xi, your mother is unwilling to part with you. She is also unable to part with you …"
After her mother took the medicine and went to bed, the old granny also took the medicine and slept temporarily. Her father went to his study to discuss things with someone. Finally, the house was peaceful again.
Hanxi walked out of the main courtyard, passing by the place where she met Wei Tengfei last night. When she thought that it was very likely that she would marry this man, her mind went completely blank.
The only thing she knew was that her marriage could save her family and protect her brother's future.
As the sun set, Bi Zhenye returned home from his studies. He found out a little about what happened at home, but his father was busy not seeing him, and his mother and grandmother were still awake when he walked over to his room. As expected, he saw his sister sitting blankly by the pond.
He sat down and snickered, "So the secret between you and Grandma is Ling Qian?"
Hanxi nodded, and then shook her head: "It's not Ling Qian, it's Brother Xingye. Brother, when I first saw him, I felt like I've seen him somewhere before. Although you won't believe me now, it's true, I won't lie to you. I recognized him almost as soon as I saw him. "
"I've always felt that he was not ordinary, but I never expected him to be from an industry." Bi Zhenye sighed, "It's good that he's fine."
The two brothers had been separated for many years, and speaking of brotherly love, it seemed to be too far-fetched. However, they had a classmate relationship, and after knowing each other for so long, they had a little more or less understood each other.
"I want to see him. Are you going?" Bi Zhenye asked his sister, "Do you want to go with me?"
Hanxi pouted and asked: "Big brother dragged me along because I was afraid of being scolded by father and mother?"
Bi Zhenye laughed: "I see that you're unhappy, I just want to take you out for a walk."
However, Hanxi asked his brother, "Is brother confident that you can get the top scorer?"
Bi Zhenye was rather carefree, he got up and pulled his sister's hand: "There are so many talents, it's a good thing for the Empire, as for me, I can serve the Imperial Court even without taking the top scholar's test, I will do my best, but in the end, I will not force it."
He was too lazy to wait for the servants to get into the carriage, so he rode his horse with his sister and came to Ling Xiao Inn. When he entered, he coincidentally saw Wei Tengfei hurrying downstairs, and almost brushed past the siblings without even looking at them.
Hanxi stared at Wei Tengfei's leaving figure in a daze. She still couldn't imagine that she might have to marry this man, but hearing her parents' tone, it seemed like it would be difficult. Wei Tengfei didn't seem to want to marry her, which was why his father was worried.
"Hanxi." Zhenye called out to his sister softly. As expected, he felt it was a little awkward to see Ling Tian in person.
Furthermore, Wei Tengfei had left the inn in a hurry to return to General's Estate.
After he finished talking with Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi, he cautiously entered the palace to report to the Emperor. The Emperor didn't say anything, but the Queen just so happened to want to see him. He went to the Culture Hall to talk with his sister for a bit before coming out again, and decided to take a look at the inn.
Who knew that when he saw Uncle Biao, Uncle Biao would say that Xiaowan had gone to look for him alone at General's Estate.
He rushed back on his horse and from afar, he saw a frail and weak figure standing by the corner of a wall. Wei Tengfei dismounted from his horse and ran towards Xiaowan, his aura somewhat disordered: "How long have you been standing here for? "Why don't you come in?"
He turned around and angrily rebuked the servants in front of the door: "Did you block them?"
"I didn't want to go in." Xiaowan said, "General Wei, don't blame them wrongly."
"Xiaowan, come in. You must be tired." Wei Tengfei reached out to support Xiaowan, but he didn't dare to touch her in the end and pulled his hand back.
"I won't be sitting, Little Pei is still waiting for me to return home. I just wanted to thank you, General, for saving Ershan. If it wasn't for General, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to find him even if we searched aimlessly for our entire lives. "
The Xiaowan sincerely said, "I don't know how to express my gratitude. I can only say that if General is in need of us in the future, please do not hesitate to speak. Of course, if there's anything the empress needs, even if I have to sacrifice my life, I'll do my best to help the empress. "
How could Wei Tengfei bear to have Xiaowan risk his life for them? On the contrary, he wanted to take care of her for his entire life, so that she wouldn't receive any more harm.
"Xiaowan …"
"General, thank you." The Xiaowan bowed deeply, straightened her body, and said very gently, "I am willing to believe your words regarding this matter with my husband. I know that the General is an upright and upright person, and you would never do something like that. I was too sad and too sad to judge right from wrong with a straight face, please forgive me. "
Wei Tengfei said heavily: "Xiaowan, you don't have to forgive anyone. You didn't do anything wrong."
Xiaowan shook her head. "It's too tiring to hate someone."
"Xiaowan …"
"General, I will return first. Thank you again. Once Ershan is fully recovered, I will have him kowtow to you and express his gratitude." The Xiaowan said, like a matriarch, he blessed Wei Tengfei and turned to leave.
"Xiaowan!" Wei Tengfei stopped her.
"Yes." Xiaowan turned around and looked at the tall man calmly. She did not have a single emotion in her heart.
"Can I protect you?" Wei Tengfei said, "Xiaowan, let me take care of you for the rest of your life, as well as the children and everyone else in the inn, Xiaowan, will you allow me to protect you?"
Mu Xiaowan stared at him in a daze. What was this person saying?
However, Wei Tengfei walked forward with a few steps, and was very close to Xiaowan: "I can wait for you, until the day you are willing to. Let me take care of you, Xiaowan... I like you. "
"Do you know what you're talking about, General?" Xiaowan's heart was in pain, an unspeakable pain. She smiled desolately, "General Wei, I think this is the last time we will meet. From now on, please take care. "
