After crossing, she was forced to become the first assistant

Chapter 168 Didn't grow up with you

"It's not that simple."

The old lady put down her crutches and sat on a chair, "At that time, there were also internal and external troubles. Your father was defeated, and all the soldiers and horses were wiped out. The former emperor Longyan was furious. If your grandfather hadn't turned the tide, do you think there is still the Wei family army?"

Wei Xingzhi stood in front of the table, his face became serious.

The old lady continued, "Your father's death cannot be investigated. If it is investigated, it will shake the morale of the army and offend the wrath of the emperor. Moreover, the situation at that time did not allow this matter to be spread. If you die in battle, you can still win a name in history. If you were poisoned to death by a vicious person, your father would be guilty of negligence.

More importantly, you were still young at the time, for you, for the only blood of our Wei family, we couldn't investigate. "

Wei Xingzhi lowered his head, feeling very complicated.

"So Dad's death...do you really ignore it?"

"No." The old lady looked at the silk cloth in Wei Xingzhi's hand, "Your grandfather and I still keep this silk cloth and this porcelain bottle, just thinking that one day we can find out the truth for your father and avenge him."

Old General Wei walked behind Wei Xingzhi, "Your grandmother and I are waiting for an opportunity, for a wise master."

Wei Xingzhi turned his head, "Wan Tuqian?"

"That's right." Old General Wei said, "The old emperor has gone, and the new emperor is on the throne. This is an opportunity. Your grandmother and I have been speculating about the new emperor's intentions, which is why you are so popular in the court. favored, and me and your grandmother seldom refute the reason."

Mrs. Wei shook her head slowly, and put the silk cloth back into the box, "You know, for you, grandfather and grandmother don't need to investigate your father's death. You are the only blood of the Wei family. You can do well."

She stood up and handed the box to Wei Xingzhi, "You know now that grandma has no right to stop you, but grandma hopes that you will do everything properly."

Wei Xingzhi held the box in his hand and nodded silently.

The old lady said again, "You brought up this matter today for no reason, so someone must have whispered something in your ear, but it has something to do with your parents?"

Wei Xingzhi looked into the old lady's cloudy but shrewd eyes, and Wang Zhuoying's name came to mind. After much deliberation, he still didn't mention it.

In a certain sense, Wang Zhuoying was already half-adopted son of his grandfather, telling them at this time would undoubtedly make them sad, not to mention that Ah Yang was still living in the mansion.

Let's wait for the evidence to be conclusive.

"Grandmother, there is one more thing I don't understand. Why does my father like my mother? Since my mother is a saint from Northern Xinjiang, why did she come to the Central Plains?"

Mrs. Wei sighed, "When your father was fifteen or sixteen years old, he followed your grandfather to northern Xinjiang, and that's when he met your mother. Your mother didn't want to be a saint of northern Xinjiang. You Father planned for many years and rescued your mother from northern Xinjiang... In order to deceive people, I have a distant relative in the south of the Yangtze River, so I called your mother the daughter of my distant relative. It is very pitiful to lose your mother since childhood, so I received Danyang married your father."

"Grandmother, don't you object to my father marrying someone from northern Xinjiang?" Wei Xingzhi didn't understand.

Since ancient times, for a general, marrying a woman from another country has been criticized by others.

The old lady snorted softly, "It doesn't matter if I object, and it doesn't matter if I don't object. Your father has the same temper as you. He secretly plotted to rescue your mother and bring everyone to me. How can I disagree? Is there any parent in the world who doesn’t think about their children.”

She looked at Wei Xingzhi's face, "Although your mother is a saint from northern Xinjiang, she is a good girl. She treated your father very well, and treated me and your grandfather with respect. She is a smart, agile, gentle and virtuous girl. She escaped from Northern Xinjiang...the world is so big, apart from our Wei family, where else can accommodate her?"

Wei Xingzhi asked again, "But I heard that the Saintess of Northern Xinjiang was given various poisons since she was a child, and she became infertile very early..."

"That's right." The old lady had admiration in her eyes, "At that time, only your father's blood was left in our Wei family. I had selfish intentions to let your father take another concubine. Although our Wei family never said that we had concubines, you Mother can't bear children, so she must leave a child for the Wei family."

The old lady pointed to the stool and asked Wei Xingzhi to sit down, "But your father is also stubborn, and he refuses to take concubines again. In order to save your father a child, your mother searched for ancient books and folk remedies, and finally let her find it. Yes, but the price is, having a child and leaving the mother.”

"Then my mother still..."

"He lived until your father died." The old lady said, "Fortune and misfortune depend on each other... There is a holy elixir in the pendant worn by the saint of Beijiang, and it is this elixir that saved your mother's life for so many years. But in your impression, your mother is sick in bed all year round, it is because her body, even with that holy pill, is at the end of the road."

Mrs. Wei patted Wei Xingzhi on the head, "Your father didn't leave a word before he died, but your mother held my hand and said, she is useless, she didn't find out the water spilled on your father's armor earlier There is a problem, and we didn't leave a boy for our Wei family... She begged me and your grandfather to take good care of you.

The Wei family never cares about the son or the daughter. You are the only child in our Wei family. Your grandfather and I will fight for our lives, and we will also protect you from growing up safely.

Before she died, your mother said that she had no parents since she was a child, and she never thought that her daughter would be like her, losing her parents before she grew up. She said that the happiest time in her life was the time in Danyang , loved by your in-laws, accompanied by your husband, and gave birth to a beautiful daughter, the only regret is that you were not able to grow up with you. "

Wei Xingzhi lowered his head, tears from the corners of his eyes fell on the wooden box on his knees.

Her memory... no, it was the memory of the original owner. It seemed that there was such a gentle woman who often sat beside her, watching her babbling with a smile, and watching her father lead her to learn to walk with a smile.

The only regret is that I couldn't grow up with you.

Did the original owner complain?complained.

Why do other people's children always have their mothers to pick them up from school, why does the tiger next door always ride on their father's shoulders and sing songs, why she has to stand up when she falls, why she has to fight back when she is bullied.

She often wondered if her parents were there, would she be picked up by her mother after school, and would she be able to ride on her father's shoulders and smile brightly while waving a mahogany sword.

So why doesn't she complain?

So she has the best relationship with Zhou Han who has no parents, so the two of them are always like a dude, walking around the streets, fighting cocks, walking dogs, and playing crickets.

Because Zhou Han accompanied her in Danyang during those days when she was scolded by others for having no father or mother. Together with her, she bullied all the people who bullied her.

"Zhizhi, your father and mother also want to watch you grow up."
