“Father! Father!”
Xiao Duye came to the Imperial Study angrily.
He first bowed to Emperor Jing Xuan before complaining about the Wei family.
“Father! You definitely won’t believe who I bumped into on the streets just now! It’s Wei Xu! Wei Xu has returned from the Southern Wilderness! And Wei Chen! Wei Qing! Wei Yan! They’re actually not dead!”
“The citizens of the entire city are welcoming them! When they saw me, they actually didn’t get off their horses and bow!”
The young eunuch had already reported the news that the Wei family had returned alive. He even reported them for coercing the guards of the city tower to open the city gate.
The Wei family’s attitude could be said to be arrogant.
However, Emperor Jing Xuan did not expect the Wei family to be so arrogant to the royal family.
“Father?”
Seeing that Emperor Jing Xuan was silent, Xiao Duye was more or less puzzled.
Emperor Jing Xuan picked up a memorial. “I understand. Stand down first. Wei Xu and his son have contributed greatly to the battle at the Broken North Pass. It’s not a big mistake not to bow to you.”
Xiao Duye was dissatisfied. “Father, they don’t take me seriously. Why are you still speaking up for them?”
Eunuch Fu calmly put away the brush that Emperor Jing Xuan had dropped and said with a smile, “Your Majesty is kind and generous. While the commoners praise the Wei family, they will definitely praise Your Majesty for your kindness.”
Xiao Duye snorted. “What credit? I think they want to shock the master! Father, don’t you think it’s strange? Didn’t Wei Ting’s brothers die in battle? Even their corpses were transported back. Did Wei Chen and the others climb out of their coffins?”
Emperor Jing Xuan was deep in thought.
Wei Xu’s return with his son almost shocked half of the city.
Five years ago, the old and young of the Wei family died in battle one after another. As the top scholar, Wei Ting went north to resist the Northern Yan.
When he returned to the capital, he transported back the coffins of Lord Wu An and the others.
They still remembered the wails on the long street back then, crying until the world shook.
This time, the commoners cried again, but it was no longer despair and sorrow. Instead, it was thick poignancy and excitement.
The Wei family had sacrificed too much for the Great Zhou.
“Third Young Master, where are the Fourth and Fifth Young Masters?” A commoner cried and asked.
That’s right. Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master, and Sixth Young Master had all returned. Surely the other three could come back too?
“Fourth Young Master loves to play soccer the most. I met him once in the suburbs and he even played it with us! He doesn’t put on any airs!”
“Third Young Master always comes to Zhou Ji next door to buy meat buns. I saw him a few times and later found out that his Madam likes to eat them!”
“There’s also Fifth Young Master. He likes to drink the flower eagle of the Nine Fragrances House. Every time he buys wine for Lord Wu An, he will secretly taste it. However, the shop owner invited him to drink, but he didn’t want it.”
At the mention of the past of the young masters, the commoners talked about it happily, as if it had only happened yesterday
Wei Xu endured the swelling pain in his throat and said in a low voice, “San Lang, Silang, and Wulang can’t come back.”
Night fell.
The Wei family had just had dinner.
Old Madam Wei had no appetite and stopped eating after eating two mouthfuls.
She lay on the bed and tossed and turned.
Nanny Li brought over a bowl of silver fungus soup. “At least take two more bites.”
Old Madam Wei sighed. “I can’t eat.”
Nanny Li asked, “Are you worried about First Master and Young Master?”
Old Madam Wei said bitterly, “They’ve been to the Southern Wilderness for so long, but no one has returned.”
The older ones left and even kidnapped Wan’er and the younger ones.
With no precious great-grandson to play with, Old Madam Wei was unhappy!
Of course, Old Madam Wei was most worried about Wei Xu.
She wanted to hear from her son as soon as possible, but she was afraid it would be bad news.
“You’re sweating.” Nanny Li put down the silver fungus soup and brought a handkerchief over to wipe Matriarch Wei’s sweat.
Old Madam Wei covered her chest. “I’m in a mess here. I haven’t stopped since this morning. Do you think something is going to happen?”
Nanny Li advised, “You like to scare yourself.”
When her grandchildren returned home, she did not cry in public. Many tears were swallowed into her stomach. freёwebnoѵel.com
