"Inlan, Inlan, don't be so worried. It's not good for the child in your belly." The cool breeze blew through the jade leaves, and the fragrance of the lotus flowers permeated the air. A red-haired dragonfly danced around the unopened pink bud, and the lake was not big, but the scenery was very pleasant. It swept away the dry summer heat, but the purple-clothed girl in the pavilion beside the lake still had a light worry between her brows.
Ji Wuya ended up bringing Wei Yinglan out to relax. The lake wasn't that far from Ji Village, but seeing that she was still depressed, he couldn't help but feel discouraged.
"I'm fine, the lotus flowers are really beautiful." Wei Yinglan forced a smile. She knew that Ji Wuya would be very worried and might feel sad about her actions, but she could not control herself. She had left, but her heart seemed to have fallen by that person's side.
The lotus flowers in the nameless lake were planted by me only a few years ago, and now they have bloomed like this as well. The lake may not be big, but there are a lot of species of lotuses, and I found them all from somewhere else. Look, there is one over there, and Tilly is about to bloom.
"Senior Brother's hands are much more skillful than Ying Lan's. Not only are her martial arts and medical skills good, but she's also especially beautiful at growing flowers." Wei Yinglan praised.
Actually, Wei Yinglan did not know that he only planted the lotus because of her. That summer, when she saw that there was nothing in the lake, she laughed and said that if the lake was full of lotus flowers, it would definitely be very beautiful, so he found a whole lake.
He knew that Wei Yinglan would never be able to let Murong Ming go, so no matter what he did, she wouldn't be able to see it. However, he was still willing to do it, as long as she could remain as handsome and radiant as before.
"Senior Brother, now that even the Southern Champion has come, wouldn't my father also be going onto the battlefield?" With so many things happening in the country, the people were all talking about it. When Wei Yinglan heard about it, she couldn't help but be worried for Wei Cheng.
General Wei is currently bringing the Jin City's Imperial Guard Army, and the safety of the imperial city is the most important. He shouldn't be sent, right?
However, my father has been in the Southern Wilderness for three years and is very familiar with it. I keep having the feeling that if I were to send more people, I would very likely send him to the Southern Wilderness. My father is already very old, and I've been gone for a long time. Wei Yinglan's face, which had just turned a little bit better, was once again filled with melancholy.
Ji Wuya sighed in his heart. Wei Yinglan was his only daughter, so running away from home was definitely not a small blow to General Wei and his wife.
"Then how about you write a letter and have someone send it back to your parents to settle their hearts?"
It was not that she did not want to write, it was just that she did not know what to say every time she picked up a pen. It was just that she was being too willful, and she probably had her own selfish motives, she had not completely hidden herself yet, she had come to Ji Jia Village many times before, so after she left, the Wei family sent people to Ji Jia Village to look for her, but Ji Wuya had hidden it from her.
In fact, if he wanted to find her, he could find Ji Jia Village too. After all, she had studied here when she was young, and had lived here for two to three years. If he wanted to find out, it would be very easy, but where else could she go?
He did not care about her at all. Even if something happened to Yun Shengyue, he would only be sick for her and would not be able to remember her at all, so she was sad. Now that she missed her parents day and night and the child in her belly was getting bigger, the more she felt that it was not easy being a mother, but she left as soon as she said it, regardless of how worried or sad they would be.
However, she couldn't go back to Jincheng City right now, nor could she write back to say that she was here. If she knew that she was here, then her father would definitely send someone to bring her back.
"Or, can I send someone to secretly inform them and bring your mother here to accompany you?" Ji Wuya continued. After all, she was married, so her mother did not like her as much as before. She also had a big belly, although she came here to recuperate, no one from her husband's family came to see her. Some of the gossiping servants would naturally guess and privately discuss this matter, and Ying Lan would probably feel that these people were not like her in the past, so she did not talk about this place as much as she used to.
He was a doctor, and he knew that continuing like this was not a good thing for Wei Yinlan, but he really did not want her to leave, even if she did not say a word and just quietly sat by his side, so close that he could see her eyebrows, her eyes, it was already very good for him.
Wei Yinglan said softly, "My mother is fine, but my father is definitely not willing to let me do whatever I want. I was just blindly worrying. I was willful enough to let them go, so I shouldn't be so worried."
"Silly girl, it's not wrong to worry about your parents. They're definitely worried about you at all times, or can you just endure for a bit longer and wait for the child to be born before making any plans?"
"I know, I'm sorry to have Senior Brother worry about me!" Wei Yinglan always felt sorry for Ji Wuya. She understood his intentions very well, but she could not accept his good intentions. Even if she did not return to Jincheng, she could not drag him down with her child.
"No, I'm very willing …"
As the two of them were chatting, a servant in green suddenly ran over. He looked extremely anxious. When he saw Ji Wuya, he did not wipe away the sweat on his forehead and shouted, "Young Master is indeed here …"
"Ah Fu, why are you in such a hurry?" Ji Wuya quickly asked. This Ah Fu was from his mother's courtyard.
Indeed, "It's Madam. Madam has urgent business with you!"
"What urgent matter?"
"This... This servant doesn't know either. " Ah Fu was somewhat hesitant, as if he was unwilling to speak.
Ji Wuya wanted to force the question, but Wei Yinglan had already opened her mouth, "Since Aunt has urgent business with you, let's go back. I'm also tired after coming out for a while."
"Alright, then we'll come back later." Ji Wuya carefully helped Wei Yinglan into the sedan.
If not for the fact that Ji Wuya's father had passed away early, the Ji Clan would have flourished even more. Because Ji Wuya was not interested in doing business, the business of the family was still managed by his mother.
Madam Ji was a strong and intelligent woman. Even after her husband died, she raised her son by herself and even managed her own medicine store and medicine store. It wasn't easy for them to fail due to their popularity, but the current her was too anxious to eat and sleep.
The reason was because of her only son, Ji Wuya. Originally, she liked Wei Yinglan very much, and had always hoped that Wei Yinglan could become her daughter-in-law, so she had never stopped Ji Wuya from being good to Wei Yinlan. Even when Ji Wuya tried to go out the last time, she knew that he was going to find Wei Yinglan, so she relaxed and thought that she could bring her daughter-in-law back.
In the end, the person was brought back, but it was too late. Wei Yinglan was already the emperor's daughter-in-law, and she even had one in her stomach, at that time she was trembling with fear, afraid that this matter would bring about some sort of disaster to the Ji Clan. Fortunately, everything was calm, but it was not possible for her to continue like this for a long period of time.
Therefore, she was looking for a marriage for Ji Wuya. As long as her family spread the news, who knew how many people would be willing to marry Ji Wuya? But Ji Wuya was not a good person to pass this trial.
"Mom, I said that I don't want to get married yet." When Ji Wuya arrived at his mother's room, he saw a bunch of women's portraits on the table. He immediately understood that she was trying to force the marriage.
"Mother knows what you're thinking, but Mother has made up her mind this time. That child Ying Lan is also very fond of her mother, but she is the daughter of a general, so we can't afford to keep her. Now that she is married to the prince, what is going on with her?" Mom knows that you're not willing to tell me the truth, but I can't ignore the gossip about the people in the mansion. Also, you're not only staying with her every day, you're also taking her out to advertise. Tell me, did she sneak out of there on a whim? If the palace finds out, can our Ji Clan afford to offend them! "
"Don't worry about Inlan, I'm not getting married!" Naturally, Ji Wuya would not tell anyone about the emotional entanglement between Wei Yinglan and Murong Ming. He was not afraid of wasting time, and he was willing to wait as long as Wei Yinglan would one day let go of Murong Chong!
"You can't not get married! The only son of the Ji family is you. Are you going to kill your mother with anger by saying that you're not getting married? If you don't get married and have children, then even if mother dies, you won't have the face to see the ancestors of the Ji Clan! " Madam Ji's voice grew louder and louder. It seemed that she had really gotten angry. Normally, she would still try to persuade him kindly.
"Mother!" Ji Wuya naturally knew how hard it was for his mother, but he really couldn't casually agree to something as big as getting married.
"I don't care, let me see these pictures. These were picked out by my mother, she doesn't want to climb high at all, even if it's just the other party's family situation. As long as my lady's temperament is good and knows how to respect the elders."
Ji Wuya did not even want to look. In his heart, there was only Wei Yinglan, and right now, even if the fairy stood in front of him, he would not be able to see her.
"I don't want anyone. If you like it, you can marry me!" Ji Wuya shook his hand and left. He knew that his mother wanted to use force this time, so no matter what excuse he gave her, she wouldn't listen. He had no choice but to leave.
She clutched her chest as she felt uncomfortable. The woman beside her lightly patted her back as she consoled her, "My lady, please calm down and don't be angry. From what I see, it is not feasible for the Young Manor Lord to use force like this, so we have to think of another way."
"What other choice do you have? In the past, Ya'er didn't listen to anything I said because of that little girl Ying Lan. Now, no matter what, she doesn't listen. She's really angering me to death!"
"So, Miss Wei is the biggest obstacle in this matter. Miss Wei has been a guest here for a long time, she should be married and pregnant, so she should be returning to Jincheng to be born."
"Of course I know that, but I can't chase her away. If I force her to leave, Ya'er will definitely go with her. When the time comes, I'm afraid I won't even be able to find Yan Er."
"Of course we can't kick him out, but we can think of a way to get someone to bring him away."
"Pick them up? You mean we should go and notify the Wei family? " Madam Ji's eyes widened slightly.
The woman thought for a moment, then said in a low voice, "We can only do this quietly. Otherwise, if the Young Manor Lord finds out, he can't help but blame Madam."
"That's right. Ya'er's temper is good, but he can't be bothered either. I was just afraid that he would get angry, so I didn't urge Ying Lan to go back."
According to this servant's observation these past few days, Miss Wei isn't as simple as nurturing a baby. I heard from the gatekeeper that the Wei family members had come once to look for her, but were sent away by the Young Manor Lord. There were no movements from Duke Ming's side, and Miss Wei is also not as lively as she was in the past.
"So, if we send someone to pick her up, will she still have to suffer when she returns?"
"Oh!" Madam, I knew that you were still in love with Miss Wei. Actually, Miss Wei is now pregnant and this royal family values their children even more than the citizens.
"That's true. No matter what, she is Duke Ming's main wife. I heard that the crown prince and the Duke of Qin have met with trouble. Duke Ming is the only ruler of the kingdom. In that case, Ying Lan is the future empress, the child in her womb …"
"That's right, if we were to become a man in one fell swoop, we would be the future Crown Prince, so we cannot offend him."
"Then …" Madam Ji hesitated for a moment before saying, "This child of hers is about to give birth in another month. It won't be convenient for her to go back now, right?"
"You don't need to worry about that. It's better if it's a man or a woman if it's not yet born. If it's a girl, then it's not that rare, and we don't know what's going on with them. It'll be even more difficult …"
Madam Ji muttered to herself, "We still have to carefully ponder over this matter …" "Help me think about it carefully. My heart is never at peace with myself. If I were to get involved with the royal family, how could our Ji family handle it? Sigh!"
