Although Bi Zhenye escaped his father's rebuke with his mother's disturbance, the family was not at ease, so how could he be at ease.
After sending her mother back to her bedroom and seeing that she had gone to bed, the brother and sister withdrew.
As Bi Zhenye headed towards his own courtyard, his sister suddenly pulled on his sleeves from behind him. When he looked back, Hanxi's eyes were already brimming with tears.
Hanxi choked with emotions: "Big brother, bring me with you to the General's Estate, help me propose to the General Wei, once I become the wife of a general, father will not make things difficult for you anymore."
Bi Zhenye shook his head: "Tonight, you saw it too, there's someone in Wei Tengfei's eyes, and that person is not you. Perhaps in the future, you might not be able to marry a man who loves you, but your brother wouldn't be able to marry you to a man who loves other women. Little Xi, you don't need to worry about this matter. With your brother here, nothing will happen to this family. Even if the sky falls, big brother will still be there to support you. You won't be able to come out. "
Hanxi sobbed as she was hugged by her brother. Bi Zhenye consoled her, "You can stay home peacefully to accompany your grandmother and take care of your mother. These matters will eventually pass."
Although he said this, he was thinking about what his mother meant by her words just now. What did it mean to "avenge him"? What kind of enmity did Ling Chen have with this family? Was it because he lost his family and couldn't find him, or something else?
The scene from before surfaced in his mind once again. Bi Zhenye remembered it clearly, when his mother died, he laughed happily.
Could it be …
Bi Zhenye's heart suddenly tightened. He did not want what he was thinking to be true.
Xiaowan stood by the window of the inn and looked deeply towards the Imperial City. She didn't know how to describe the feelings in her heart, but she felt that Ling Chaofeng was there.
"Mother …" Little Pei woke up. Seeing that his mother was lost in thought, he ran over and hugged her.
"Why aren't you sleeping? Did you have a nightmare? " Xiaowan picked him up and placed him on the windowsill. He pinched his son's cheek and said with difficulty, "Little fatty pig, it's so heavy, Mother will not be able to carry you soon."
"I am a dragon, I am a dragon." Little Pei laughed as he reached out to hold his mother's cheek, as if all the flesh on his mother's body had grown here. He gave her a heavy kiss, "Mother …"
"Mom, can I feed you again?" As the Xiaowan spoke, he untied his robes and carried his son to sit on the bed. Little Pei was startled, he licked his lips and buried his face deep into his mother's chest.
The Xiaowan lightly patted his head as she kissed his son's forehead. When he wolfed him down, she said, "Little Pei, if mother leaves you before you leave, you don't have to think about taking care of the family. They will be fine. Go back to where you should be. Mother knows that I must have been virtuous in my previous life to give birth to you. Mother is already very satisfied that you came here. "
Little Pei raised his face and looked at his mother in a daze. Xiaowan kissed him: "Eat, after tonight, Mother will not feed you anymore."
After tonight, Wei Tengfei decided to leave the capital and return to the Chuanyu.
He could not leave the three hundred thousand strong army behind, and he could not leave his Chuanyu behind as well. He had already arranged for enough men to protect the Xiaowan, and today, he came to the palace to bid his farewells to the emperor before bidding his farewells to Siyan.
Siyan naturally could not bear to see her siblings separate, but she knew that she and her brother were both responsible for their country. She endured her tears and told her brother, "Next time you come, you must bring back a sister-in-law for me."
Wei Tengfei laughed bitterly: "Who would be willing to marry a brute like me?"
The news quickly spread. The Chuanyu Great General was about to leave the capital, while the others who wanted to marry their daughters into the General's Estate were getting more and more anxious, and within the few days, an endless stream of people came to the General's Estate gate. Wei Tengfei decided that he might as well go to the outskirts of the city to watch the drill for the city's defense troops.
When Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi was at home, he gathered his old mother, wife, and children and said with determination and sincerity, "This marriage is a must, regardless of whether you agree to it or not, Hanxi must marry Wei Tengfei."
Bi Zhenye tried to turn white: "You saw what happened that night with your own eyes, Wei Tengfei doesn't even like his little sister."
"Shut up!" ", go find Wei Tengfei yourself. No matter what method you use, make him marry you."
Mrs. Bi rushed to her husband's front, pale and haggard, pointed at him and scolded: "You are crazy, do you still not know that you are a first rank official, what do you think of your daughter, to be able to please and bed with a man? Do you want Little Xi to become the laughing stock of the whole world? Don't force me, don't force me to do something that cannot be reversed. "
Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi sneered, and actually ignored his wife, and asked Hanxi: "Are you going or not?"
Mrs. Bi threw himself in front of Old Madem and begged while kneeling at her feet: "Mother, say something, I beg you to be the judge, do you love Little Xi the most, Mother …"
Old Madem trembled as he looked at his son. What else could she say?
She was old, her son being filial was her fortune, her son being unfilial was her life, her daughter-in-law was so foolish, if only she could control her son, then Zhenye and Little Xi would not have been born.
Back then, she had coaxed her husband into marrying her into the sect. Now, it was her reward.
"I'll go, I'll go find Wei Tengfei." Unexpectedly, Hanxi actually agreed. She looked at her father solemnly, and blessed him with: "Father, I am willing to marry into the Chuanyu for this family. But I will do my best, and if Wei Tengfei doesn't do it from start to finish … "
"If there's no such thing as' if there's no such thing ', you must marry him, even if it means that you're about to be cooked." The Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi said coldly, "He is an indomitable man, he is responsible."
Mrs. Bi screamed in fear and rushed forward to slap his husband in front of his children and his mother-in-law.
The corner of Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi's mouth twitched. He pushed her away and continued to speak to his daughter: "Go back to your room and dress up. Someone will come to teach you what to do."
"Father!" Bi Zhenye roared.
"Someone, come!" Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi called in the servants and instructed them, "Lock the Young Master up. Without my permission, he is not allowed to take even half a step out of the room."
Mrs. Bi cried bitterly as he rushed forward to hug his daughter and did not let her go. However, Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi ordered for them to be separated.
At the tavern, when she found out that Wei Tengfei was going back to the Chuanyu, she recalled how he had done so many things for his and his family, yet she had even misunderstood him. As for him saying that he liked his, that was already said clearly. The Xiaowan believed in Wei Tengfei's character.
Thus, she borrowed the inn's kitchen to make some green bean cake according to the method that Uncle Biao had taught her.
The Xiaowan brought Little Pei and the green bean cake that she had made as she came to General's Estate s to send him off.
The beautiful Bi Hanxi slowly got off the carriage. Her clothes were too heavy, and she looked like she was holding on very hard, but the weather was hot too. Xiaowan felt that it wasn't necessarily good to be a young miss of a Qian Jin.
They nodded in respect, and when the servants entered the door to report, they saw Wei Tengfei walking over with large strides, but in his eyes, there was only Xiaowan.
Only when Xiaowan reminded him did Wei Tengfei realize that there was a young miss with gorgeous clothes standing there. He kindly said: "Miss Bi, come home please."
The servants came to lead the way, and Bi Hanxi immediately walked in, and upon entering, anything else could be done, she told herself.
Little Pei handed over the green bean cake and said coquettishly, "Uncle, Mother said that these green bean cake are all for Uncle to eat. I didn't eat any of them."
Wei Tengfei said tenderly: "Follow Uncle and I will give it to you. Take however much you want to eat."
"Little Pei." However, his words were interrupted by the Xiaowan, who chided his son, "How much have you eaten while rubbing your stomach?"
The little guy was lively and cute, all this while, he had been trying his best to resolve the awkwardness between the two of them. Ling Tong was very clear, whether or not his father could be with his mother again, no one knew, but if Wei Tengfei could, what wouldn't be good for him.
"General Wei, take care." The Xiaowan said gently, "General, thank you for taking care of me all this while. I really don't have much to help you with, so I'll make some snacks and treat you to them on the way. "
Wei Tengfei thanked him. He would wait for Xiaowan to accept his kind intentions one day, but he wouldn't pester him. He was already satisfied to be able to get along with him like this.
However …
Wei Tengfei turned around and looked at his house. The servant then walked out and told him that Miss Bi was already waiting in the hall. He waved his hand to indicate for them to retreat, and then said: "Xiaowan, can you do me a favor?"
The Xiaowan nodded, but she could not help but feel curious: "General, what can I help you with?"
In the General's Estate Hall, Bi Hanxi sat obediently on a chair bound with heavy clothes. She had a bag of medicinal powder hidden inside her clothes, the mama sent by father told him that if Wei Tengfei ate it, she would be the general wife.
As for whether or not she really wanted to do something, she decided to do it on her own.
Hanxi unconsciously twisted her legs together. A seventeen year old girl, knowing how to act, she was even more afraid.
Someone came in from outside. It was not the tall and mighty Wei Tengfei, but the weak and frail Mu Xiaowan.
Hanxi did not know Xiaowan that much, but every time she saw young lady, she felt that her entire body was filled with an aura of grief. Only later on did she understand that it was because her husband was dead.
And at the Dragon Boat Festival, everyone saw that Wei Tengfei was especially concerned about her. His every word and action seemed to not look away. Hanxi thought, could it be that she was here to let him know the difficulties and retreat, could it be that she was the future mistress of the General's Estate?
"The general has gone out to socialize. He had a few words, requesting me to pass it on to the Miss Bi." Xiaowan felt a little awkward, but she felt pity for this girl. She thought that it would be very pitiful for Ershan to be abandoned by his family, but she never thought that even those who stayed at home would not be able to escape with their lives.
"Sister-in-law." Hanxi stood up politely. Her dress was too heavy, she had no choice but to raise it. Xiaowan walked up and said, "Miss Bi, sit down."
"General Wei went out?" Bi Hanxi looked towards the door.
"Miss Bi, you probably don't know yet. Your uncle's cousin's original wife is Ershan's fiancee, Miss Lian Yi's blood sister. " The Xiaowan laughed, "I can't even figure it out by myself."
Hanxi was also dumbstruck when she heard it, the Xiaowan laughed: "They really are a family, no matter what they do, they can still be linked. But the things in this world, it is really not something that can be casually said by just a few people. Originally, Lian Yi would have become your new cousin, but she didn't want to follow the same path as her sister. Fortunately, she managed to survive and meet Ershan, but my Ershan is her true fate. However, if she had not fought for it back then, she would not have been able to meet her. "
Saying this, Xiaowan's heart trembled. Isn't it true? If she didn't fight for it, how could she possibly see her husband again?!
"Really?" Hanxi, on the other hand, felt a burst of hot blood in her heart. The gentle and dignified lady who accompanied Brother Xingye by his side, was actually so strong and unyielding?
"Miss Bi, do you like General Wei?" The Xiaowan did not beat around the bush and directly asked, "It was the General Wei who asked me to ask you. He wants to know your true meaning."
Bi Hanxi shook her head hard. "I saw him being scared, how tall and sturdy he is."
Xiaowan laughed: "Then that's easy. Go home, I don't know why you came here, but General Wei wants me to pass on his intentions. He hopes that you can meet a good man in Miss Bi and get along forever. Don't easily give up your life for the sake of your family. If someone really wants to force you, then tell him, that person will stand up for you. If that person is your father, then since that person doesn't care about your daughter, why should you care about him? "
Hanxi's chest was moving up and down, and her eyes were filled with hot tears. She didn't know how to explain to her father when they got back, and whether he would punish her and beat her up?
"Sister-in-law, then, will you marry to the General Wei?" Hanxi asked nervously, "I, I want … "My dad will ask me."
Xiaowan shook her head. "General Wei and I are friends, I still need to go find my husband."
Hanxi was startled, and asked blankly: "But the Manager Ling isn't already?"
Xiaowan smiled deeply, but she did not say the words in her heart.
