She really couldn’t bear to let go of Wuhu, the three tiger heads and Qin Su. She wanted to keep every one of them.
“Let Wei Ting go back himself… Wuwah..
Wei Ting originally wanted to invite the little girl to Great Zhou with him, but when he heard this, he decisively stopped talking.
Su Xiaoxiao pinched her face. “I just praised you for having matured after the storm. Are you crying again?
Yuwen Xin cried. “I don’t want you to leave… If you leave… Who am I going to play with..
Su Xiaoxiao said, “You’ll make new friends. Besides, your brother’s health has improved. He can play with you often in the future.”
Thinking of her brother’s health, Yuwen Xin finally felt a trace of comfort.
She sniffed and held Su Xiaoxiao’s hand. She said seriously, “Qin Su, it’s so good to know you. I’ve thought about it. Why don’t I marry into the Great Zhou when I grow up? This way, I can be with you every day.”
Yuwen Xi wished she could slap this girl to death.” How old are you to want to get married? Are you trying to anger me to death?”
Su Xiaoxiao was amused by her. “Okay, I’ll find you a good in-law.”
The two of them chatted for a while. Su Xiaoxiao looked around and asked, “So many people are here? Was it such a big scene when Northern Yan left last time?”
Yuwen Xin said with a little cry, “No. When Northern Yan left, there were a few people. Only my uncle and third uncle went. They should be here to send Mr. Zhuge off.”
She was half right. These officials of the Imperial Court were indeed here to send Zhuge Qing off, but not the women.
Ah Fu put down the carriage stool and the three little ones prepared to get into the carriage.
“Aiya!”
Xiaohu was fished away.
“Aiya!”
Erhu was fished away.
In the end, even the most agile Dahu was mercilessly captured.
The three little ones were only surrounded by a group of strange sisters and aunties. When they finally squeezed out, their heads were already a little dizzy. Every little kid had a face full of fiery red lip marks and was extremely shy.
Mei Ji was furious. She stomped her feet angrily. “Who kissed my three little husbands like this?!”
It was time for the Great Zhou diplomatic mission to set off.
Yuwen Huai personally sent Zhuge Qing into the carriage and looked at him deeply. “I’ll wait for your return.”
Zhuge Qing said softly, “Your Highness, take care.”
“General Wei! Madam Wei!”
In the crowd, Second Master Shen jumped up and waved at them. With the Imperial Court’s army guarding him, he could not come over.
Wei Ting asked Fu Su to bring Second Master Shen over.
Second Master Shen said to Su Xiaoxiao in the carriage, “Madam Wei, there’s no news of the herbs you asked me to ask about last time for the time being, but my father has already asked the entire Five Elements Alliance to be activated. I’ll inform you as soon as there’s news!”
Yuwen Xi walked over. “If there’s news, come to the Princess’s Residence. My falcon is faster.”
Yuwen Huai said calmly, “My messenger pigeon is not slow either.”
Yuwen Xi snorted coldly.
Seeing that the siblings were about to fight again, Zhuge Qing said softly, “Your
Highnesses, we’ll take our leave. Please take care.”
In October, the group embarked on the return journey to the Great Zhou. The weather gradually turned cold, and the road was a little difficult to walk. In November, they encountered a few snowstorms, which took a few more days than their trip to Western Jin.
It had not snowed in the capital for a long time this year. The sky had already been dark for a few days, but it could not fall.
In the past, at this time, the Wei family had already begun to organize New Year goods. When Chu Feifeng was at home, she was the one who took care of everything. Now that she was gone, the responsibility fell on Madam Li and the others. Madam Li took on most of the work.
“Second Young Madam, the sheep from the manor have arrived. Please go over and order.”
“Alright, I’ll come,” Madam Li said. “Have you made the winter clothes?” “Yes,” the maidservant said.
Madam Li tightened her cloak. “Although it hasn’t snowed this year, it’s colder than last year. Make another set of clothes for everyone. Remember to use new cotton.”
“Yes, Second Young Madam,” the maidservant agreed.
After the maidservant left, Madam Li brought the accounts of the residence and the various shops under her name over. She tallied them one by one with her abacus. She had never known how to settle accounts in the past. After she married over, her husband taught her.
She had been busy all afternoon and her fingers were frozen.
However, she did not rest. Instead, she went to Madam Wei to see Wei Xiyue.
Wei Xiyue was sick.
It was the night before that she secretly got up to water her small pit. Then, she squatted in the cold wind and waited for an hour. The next day, she caught a cold.
Even so, she still had to guard the courtyard.
Madam Li did not know who this child took after.
When she entered the courtyard, Madam Wei was feeding medicine to Wei Xiyue, who refused to drink it.
“Mother, give it to me.”
Madam Li brought the medicine bowl over and looked at her daughter, whose cheeks were red from the heat. Her heart ached and she said solemnly, “If you don’t drink the medicine, I won’t let you go out to water…”
“Ah!!!”
Wei Xiyue shouted.
Madam Li pinched her fingers and held it in. She said calmly, “This move is useless against me.”
Wei Xiyue stopped shouting.
Madam Li said, “Drink the medicine.”
Wei Xiyue shook her head and refused.
Madam Li took a deep breath. “If you don’t drink medicine, you’re not allowed to water Father.”
Her heart ached.
When her brother-in-law returned alive, she thought more than once how good it would be if Wei Qing could return alive. How good would it be if Xi Yue could see her father again?
Her Xi Yue could also be a child spoiled by her father.
But she didn’t dare to hope, not at all.
Wei Xiyue obediently drank the bowl of bitter medicine.
She was thinking about watering the plants. How could Madam Li let her go out in the cold with a high fever? She stuffed her under the blanket and forcefully pressed her head to fall asleep.
Wei Xiyue woke up in the middle of the night.
She had not watered her father for two days. If she did not water him now, her father would not grow back.
She got out of bed barefooted and did not disturb Ping’er, who was sleeping on the small bed. She picked up the kettle on the table and walked out gently.
The wind was cold, and her small body trembled.
She squatted down in front of the small pit and carefully watered it. Then, she waited.
She did not understand why her father did not move when the little sapling at the side had already grown so tall. Did her father not like her anymore?
It must be the water.
She carried the kettle to the water tank to get water. As she watered it, she filled the soil with her hands. Her entire body was dirty. She wiped the messy hair off her face and dirtied her palm-sized face.
She was halfway through watering it when the courtyard door suddenly
opened.
A wheelchair appeared at the door..
