C19 (2/2)

After listening to Lady Xue's words, Wei Zhao stopped crying. He just couldn't hold back his sobs for a while, and was still sobbing softly.

Madam Xue held onto her shoulders as she choked with sobs. ”Sis, if it wasn't for your parents being heartless, they wouldn't have been willing to part with you.”

Wei Zhaomu nodded his head. Even though Ping County was rich, it wasn't like there weren't any parents who sold their children. She had seen her village's Little Li's family lose their fathers, and her mother couldn't support the seven children, so she sold the youngest ones to others. At that time, she was just a bystander. Even when she saw that Li Zi and her mother were crying so miserably, there was still some lingering fear in her heart. What's more, she had to separate from her parents now.

”Cousin, don't be afraid.” However, he was still crying in a low voice. His originally clean clothes were now covered in dust and dirt.

Wei Zhao's face was also covered in dust, mixed with the constant flow of tears. He looked extremely miserable. Sobbing, he took out his handkerchief and moved over to tiptoe to wipe her face.

After wiping a few times, Wei Zhao finally realized it was him. He cried again, this time he was touched, and hugged Zhanyun, ”Wuwu …. ”Cousin …”

Qianyun: ”Cousin … I don't want you to leave …” ”Sob, sob …”

At first glance, they seemed like two little mandarin ducks that were unable to be separated.

It took a long time before Lady Xue managed to coax the two of them into washing their faces again. Wei Zhao took hold of Zhao Yun's hand and said, ”Let's go, I have something for you …”

Outside the door, the bright sun made her squint. She thought about how she would have to wait upon others when she entered the palace, and how she would even have to read and write when she woke up …

Ah!” A scream scared away the numerous birds in the yard.

The Dark Guard was huddled up in the leaves, a drop of cold sweat slowly dripping from Wei Zhao's forehead.

”…” Dusu's wife whispered to Lady Xue about Big Brother Du's suggestion inside the house. Tell the two of us to hide out for a few months … ”

When Lady Xue heard this, she hurriedly shook her head. ”I can't do that, Cousin. Could it be that in this world, there is still someone larger than the emperor?” ”At that time, not to mention the two of you sleeping in the open, even if you were to take your cousin's husband away, it would still be a narrow escape.” Seeing that Madame Du Su really didn't want Wei Zhao to enter the palace, Lady Xue's mind raced as she thought of someone. ”That's right, the teacher in the school is the former Imperial Tutor. Cousin, go beg him. Who knows, he might be able to help.”

Du Su had also learned a bit of common sense from Wei Zhao and knew that the Imperial Tutor was someone important. She nodded hastily and said, ”Right, let's go beg him. There won't be a single more for him, not one less for her.”

Lady Xue shook her head. ”Cousin, if you want to keep Miss Zhao, you have to be a bit more pitiful. You can't talk about other things.”

Du Su nodded. ”I know, well, I told her that we were over a hundred years old when we finally got this little seedling. When she leaves the palace, she might not even be able to see us again.”

A few of them went to find Mr. Qian.

Unexpectedly, Mister Qian was also packing his luggage. Lady Xue was taken aback. ”Mister, where are you going?”

Mister Qian bowed towards Yan Du, ”When the third princess returns to the palace, this old one will not give up. I will also go teach the princess a lesson.”

Lady Xue glanced at Du Su. Seeing that she didn't know what to say, she took the initiative to ask, ”Sir, do you know that Wei Zhao wants to enter the palace as the Princess' reading partner?”

Mr. Qian was shocked. ”All I know is that Wei Zhao was born 21 years ago... Is she actually born in September? ” Surprised, he turned his head to look at Du Su's family. After a moment of silence, he asked, ”You're reluctant to part with it?”

She choked and nodded, unable to speak.

Mr. Qian sighed, ”I can understand your reluctance, but this isn't entirely a bad thing for Wei Zhao. Wei Zhao is smart and smart, so if he really does get an important person's good fortune in the future … maybe, both of your blessings will also be on her.”

Mr. Qian was used to being a mister, so only Wei Zhao could help him break his record. The others present in front of him were always neither fast nor slow, and their voices were gentle and calm as they recounted the benefits of entering the palace to Wei Zhao.

One couldn't help but admire Mister Qian's ability. Du Su's hand was indeed a little shaken. The hand holding the handkerchief loosened and loosened. In the end, she stammered, ”It's just that the person who released the palace was a bit old …” In order to prevent her family from being ruined, as well as for the good of her daughter, she could bear it and send Wei Zhao to the palace. But after entering the palace, it would be difficult to come out again.

Mr. Qian laughed. ”There's no need to rush. Wei Zhao is very sharp and smart. Once his reading partner is ready, someone might take the initiative to ask for a marriage. Even if the princess were to grant her permission, getting married as soon as possible, we can't say for sure.” Furthermore, even if you are released at the age of twenty-five, you will have accompanied the princess for many years.

”The princess has her own palace, so the reading partners will also have less constraints when the princess enters the palace. When Wei Zhao enters the palace, I will take care of him a bit more, but in reality, he is just reading and writing every day, nothing else, and every year we can meet again, so there is no need to worry too much, I know that you and your husband are like pearls, but when she grows up, she will still want to marry. With this layer of relationship, not only will she be able to marry, but she will also not dare to make things too difficult for the princess.”

It wasn't a bad thing to say, but the moment they spoke, the Du Family still worried about Wei Zhao's temper. ”Our sister Zhao's temper …”

Mr. Qian laughed again, ”I think Wei Zhao is sensible and knows the rules. You can rest assured that she has a temper in front of you, which is why she acted a bit rashly. She knows her own parents, so she's very well-behaved outside.”
