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.
