Chapter 16 Dust
More than a month after that, Wei Ye still had no news. Ye Dongyu's stomach was getting bigger and bigger. Fortunately, Wei Xi was quite capable, and the servants in the family listened to him, and there was no trouble for a while.
Except for Yao's secret stumbling, he has no good face for Wei Xi, Ye Dongyu and even the Shen sisters. Ye Dongyu is used to it. Shen Xuanji doesn't care. There are not many "Linlang Pavilions" between Yingluo and corals, and Yao can't come to him. Only Wei Xi, Yao is her direct mother, and she has to say good to her every morning and evening, and she will stab her for a few words.
Women are strong when they are mothers. When Aunt Chun sees her daughter being bullied, she naturally quit. She entered the palace at a young age and immersed herself in the most scheming and most ruthless place for more than ten years. It was a piece of cake to clean up Yao. Yao's loss was full of dumb losses, and Aunt Chun still smiled. She had nothing to do but splash.
Wei Han is much older these days. He has done twice the result and has not received any valuable information. He was so weak that he didn't have time to teach Yao a lesson. He was so anxious that he didn't come to her door.
Mrs Ye has been ill for so long that she doesn't get well with ginseng soup and lucidum deer antler every day. Shen Xuanji was anxious and had the intention to beg Xue Zhen, and then find the man.
She didn't dare to move, so she came to the study to find Wei Han.
Wei Han listened to her and waved his hand, "For your second brother who didn't grow up last time, our family owed the ninth prince a big favor. I know that the old lady's illness is a heart disease. If there is no news from your uncle for a day, even if there is any panacea, it will not be cured.
He looked at Shen Xuanji, but in a year, she had become a big girl. The look of panic and fear when she first came did not appear on her face again. He nodded to her, "I know you are a good boy of filiality, but even if you ask for people and your brothers, you don't have to show up."
Shen Xuanji was a little moved when she heard this and knew that Wei Han really loved her; and she was a little embarrassed. She didn't want to see Xue Zhen by herself.
She didn't plan to see Xue Zhen, but Xue Zhen came to the door by himself. It also brings a piece of news that is not good, but it is by no means bad.
"Is the ninth prince serious?" After listening to Xue Yu's words, Wei Han was excited for a moment and stood up.
Xue Zhen sat on his head and looked at him with a smile, "Don't worry, the Duke of the country. Since the dead body has not been found, it can at least prove that General Wei is still alive."
Wei Han was happy and looked bitter again. "Although this is the case, I still feel unsure when I don't know where my eldest brother is going."
Xue Zhen said with a smile and said, "This is the fault of the Duke of the State. General Wei is my great tiger general and has made great achievements in battle. What difficulties and obstacles have not been experienced in the past 20 or 30 years outside? Is it possible that the prince has no confidence in him at this small level?
Wei Han was inspired by his words, "What the prince said is that if the eldest brother is used to fighting, he will be able to save the danger."
Xue Zhen stood up, walked to him, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I heard that the old lady was also sick, so I told the last gentleman. He said that the old lady was mentally ill and fine. He asked me to bring a few pills.
Wei Han suddenly felt that the prince was too considerate and quickly bowed and saluted, "I've bothered the prince over and over again. I'm really ashamed."
"Why are you so polite? We are all a family!"
"Huh? What did the prince say? Wei Han was confused.
Xue Zhen touched his head awkwardly, "Nothing, hahahaha, I'm joking. Let's go and see the old lady!"
Mrs. Ye listened to Xue Zhen's words and felt refreshed. Although she was still sick, her eyes were bright. Everyone looked at it and breathed a sigh of relief. Only Yao and Aunt Xiang were secretly unhappy.
" Xuanji, send the prince for me." By the time Xue Zhen was about to leave, Mrs. Ye was already able to sit up with the help of the greenweed. She took a look at Shen Xuanji and ordered.
Shen Xuanji's face turned red, but her action was still stable and generous. Wei Han felt puzzled and wanted to follow out quickly. Seeing that he looked like an elm, Aunt Chun quickly pulled his sleeve in her sleeve and whispered in his ear, "What the old lady means, don't worry about it."
Wei Han seems to understand something. Thinking that his mother has been in poor spirits and thoughtful since she met the empress dowager. Now it is like this, she must have reached some tacit understanding with the empress dowager.
He couldn't help asking quietly when he was alone with Mrs. Ye.
"No, how can Xuanji sacrifice like this!" Hearing the story, Wei Han stood up and looked at Mrs. Ye with some reproach, "Mother, you are too selfish to say something disrespectful!"
He can't spit it out, "The virtuous concubine has been dead for many years. Xuanji is still so young, and she still has a lifetime to live!" He always felt that the royal family was not a good match. He gritted his teeth and whispered, "Does the mother have to be sorry for the little sister for the sake of the eldest sister?"
Mrs Ye looked at her middle-aged son. He had an indifferent temperament. Since he was a child, he loved to recite poems and words, and did not love officialdom. However, because Wei Ye was determined to join the army, he attacked the knight. Over the years, he has shouldered whether he likes it or not, whether he is willing or not. He plays the role of a competent parent all day long. Speaking of speaking, it is also a kind of sacrifice.
She slowly exhaled and pulled Wei Han to her bed and sat down. "I've lived for so many years, what else can't be seen? Yin'er was poisoned. That's her life. No matter how much I love her, I won't push my grandson's daughter into the fire.
After Mrs. Ye came back from the palace that day and said that to Shen Xuanji, she figured it out the next day. In addition to regret, she was even more ashamed. She hurriedly called Shen Xuanji and said, "My grandmother didn't ask you to marry the ninth prince. I will go to the palace today to resign from the empress dowager!"
Shen Xuanji, a lady, was so ashamed to find a seam to get in after hearing this. Mrs. Ye is still chattering, "It's my grandmother's fault. I'm too selfish. If your mother knows, she must be angry with me." She thought of Wei Li, felt sad and cried again.
When Shen Xuanji saw her like this, she didn't care about being shy. She fell on Mrs. Ye's lap and raised her face, "Don't be too careful. Even if your mother knows, she won't blame you."
Mrs. Ye wiped her tears and looked at her in surprise. Seeing this, Shen Xuanji didn't say anything. He didn't know how much trouble there would be in the future, so he blushed and told Mrs. Ye everything he had been thinking about these days.
"If I die one day, who else can make the decision for her sister and brother?" Mrs. Ye looked at Wei Han, and Wei Han straightened up, "Can't my uncle protect them?"
Mrs. Ye can't say, "What if you die too?" In this case, she only said, "Her sisters are still young, and Yulang still relies on you to study as an official in the future?"
She remembered Shen Xuanji's words again, "I want to be my brother and sister's backer!"
After listening to Shen Xuanji's meaning, Wei Han knew the reason and couldn't help nodding, "I didn't expect her to have such a desire to plan for her younger sister-in-law at such a young age, which is really deplorable."
Since then, the two highest-level people in the Anguo Mansion have acquiesced in Shen Xuanji and Xue Zhen. When Wei Han saw the ninth prince again, he unconsciously got closer.
Ye Dongyu was even more proud to see that he had guessed accurately. He had a big belly every day and did not forget to make fun of Shen Xuanji in private.
"If you are not afraid of hurting my nephew, be careful with your mouth!" Shen Xuanji opened her teeth and danced her claws to pinch Ye Dongyu. Ye Dongyu knew that she would not really do it. She squinted and smiled. When she was about to speak, she suddenly felt a burst of pain in her stomach.
Shen Xuanji suddenly turned pale and sweated when he saw her. He was also shocked and quickly called people loudly.
Ye Dongyu is giving birth for the first time, and Shen Xuanji is also a big girl. Pinyue and Chunzhuo have never seen this scene. At present, they are all in a hurry. Fortunately, the midwife had been invited for a long time, and the delivery room was ready. Although Ye Dongyu was in pain, he was still calm. He ordered several powerful women to bring the spring stool.
At this time, Shen Fu had been shaking up and down, and even Mrs. Ye supported the sick body to get up and was persuaded by Wei Xi.
The family's family were waiting outside Ye Dongyu's delivery room. For a moment, Wei Jue ran in a hurry and heard his wife screaming loudly in the room. She was so anxious that she was about to go in.
"Grandpa!" Aunt Chun stopped him, "You are the master, and that's not the place you should go!"
Wei Xi also came to pull him, "Big brother, if you are in a hurry, just sit here and wait. Your sister-in-law will definitely give you a white and fat nephew!"
Wei Jue just sat down and kept looking into the room. Every time Ye Dongyu shouted, he seemed to suffer from it. Wei Xi was afraid that he would also fall down, so he went out and ordered the maid Yun Nuan to prepare ginseng tea.
"It's not promising!" Yao hasn't said anything, and this opening is not a good thing. Wei Jue was so anxious that she didn't hear it.
When Yao saw that he was neglecting himself, he stood up and walked to him and pointed to his nose. "What kind of style is a big man waiting for his wife to have a child? Your father and your brothers are running around for your uncle, but you are free!"
When Wei Jue saw that she pointed at herself, she frowned and stood up. "What the wife said is reasonable, but the ninth prince has already said that his father and we don't have to run around. Don't you know?"
Although he was mild-tempered, he was a little arrogant. At this time, he looked at Yao condescendingly, "Yuer is my wife. Her birth is to continue the incense for our Wei family. Naturally, I naturally value it. Not only do I value her, but I also hope my wife can treat her well. Yuer is the eldest daughter of the Hou family and the eldest daughter-in-law of the state government. She is noble and can't be humiliated at will!"
Wow! Everyone present was stunned. Unexpectedly, the eldest brother, who was usually handsome and elegant and never spoke loudly, did not hesitate to turn against his stepmother in order to protect his wife. Several unmarried girls showed deep envy on their faces.
Shen Xuanji deeply thinks so. Don't say that Yao is not his mother. Even if he is his mother, he can't treat Ye Dongyu as usual. Men in the world are often foolish and filial, and they always ignore their wives, but they refuse to think that only their wives are the ones who spend their lives with them.
But look at Yao, she is always the one who lost the battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Shen Xuanji felt that there was no sympathy for her, and her second uncle was not an ordinary man. She was always angry that made him jump, which was really a good thing.
When Yao saw the demeanor of Wei Jue's eldest son, she aroused her "step room" heart knot and rolled her eyes angrily. She was about to point to Wei Jue and curse when she heard a "squeak". It turned out that the door of the delivery room opened.
Everyone gathered around and saw that the mother-in-law was happy. She reached out and asked Wei Jue for a reward. "Congratulations, Uncle Hexi, big~milk~milk added you a white and fat brother!"
