Chapter 45
Wei Ji would actually prepare a gift for her?
This cognition surprised Xie Zhiyun, the charm just now disappeared, and now only doubts remained.

"What's the matter, my lord?"

Wei Ji raised his eyebrows, took her hand and walked into the main room: "Why is there something wrong?"

Xie Zhiyun's pink lips curled up: "Nothing to be courteous, either adultery or robbery."

"Which one is my little master?"

Wei Ji's footsteps paused slightly, he turned his head, and for the first time a half-smile appeared on his face.

Xie Zhiyun finally realized that he had said the wrong thing.

"Ma'am, how can I be the latter in my own family?"

Xie Zhiyun's face was even redder than before.

The two went all the way back to the outer room of the main room, and when they saw the pear wood brocade box on the round table in the outer room, Xie Zhijun realized that Wei Ji had been holding her wrist.

With a flick of Xie Zhiyun's wrist, he immediately broke free from his restraint.

"what is this?"

Wei Ji put his hand on the back of her waist naturally, and gently pushed her forward.

"Madam, see for yourself."

Xie Zhijun heard her heart beat faster, she didn't even know what she was nervous about, she had received so many gifts since she was a child, but this one made her look forward to it.

She stretched out her hand, snapped open the copper clasp on the wooden box, and raised the lid as soon as she raised her hand.

A quaint silver-handled dagger lay quietly on the red velvet cloth.

This dagger is no bigger than the palm of an adult man. The silver handle is small and smooth, made into a crescent shape. The blade is hidden in a cowhide scabbard. It is extremely sharp without looking.

This dagger was just right for her to carry around.

Wei Ji stood quietly behind Xie Zhijun, looking at her bright side face and the starlight in her eyes, he felt extremely satisfied.

From the first moment he saw the dagger, he had found an owner for it in his heart.

"How?" Wei Ji asked seemingly casually.

Xie Zhijun is very generous on weekdays, she never twitches, but when facing Wei Ji, she unconsciously wants to put on airs.

Want to tweak it a bit.

Xie Zhijun coughed lightly, rolled his round eyes, and immediately looked back at him.

There was a smile in her eyes, and there was a faint coquettishness in her tone: "Why did you think of giving me a gift?"

Wei Ji, who always likes to tease her actively on weekdays, met her starry eyes at this moment, but was speechless.

When he was at a loss for words, the tense strings in his heart loosened, and he suddenly said seriously: "I saw someone selling this dagger, and I thought of the weapon Madam didn't have yet, so I bought it."

weapon……

Xie Zhiyun laughed out loud.

She was in a very good mood, and this laugh seemed particularly agile.

"Why do I need a weapon?" Xie Zhiyun asked amusedly.

Wei Ji stretched out his hand to take out the dagger, and played it flexibly in his hand.

Xie Zhiyun just watched the dagger flip up and down, sliding arcs of light and shadow in the sunlight.

Finally, the dagger landed in Wei Ji's generous palm.

"Ma'am, everyone in our family must have a weapon, no matter who it is." Wei Ji signaled her to take a step forward, compared her side waist, then lifted a corner of the bezel, and put the dagger neatly in it From her waist, only a silver handle inlaid with pearls was exposed.

Because the dagger is small, only a small part of the silver handle exposed is not eye-catching. When people see it, they will only think that she has a hand mirror with her, and they will not think it is a dagger.

Xie Zhiyun looked down, and thought it would be suitable to put it here. Once the beanie covered it, even the silver handle could not be seen.

There are some things that smart people don't need to say clearly.

Xie Zhiyun didn't tease him anymore, but simply said: "Thank you, little prince."

Wei Ji touched the bridge of his nose and coughed lightly: "Thank you."

After summarizing the presents, Wei Ji said, "Let's have dinner."

I don't know when it started, Wei Ji came back earlier and earlier, and the two of them became more and more used to talking about internal and external matters during dinner.

Wei Ji first talked about the situation at Yongfeng warehouse, saying that the secret guards were secretly investigating, and no one had entered or left the warehouse, and no one had made any new moves.

In addition, most of the refugees have been resettled, and the resettlement will be completed after about five days.

Xie Zhiyun nodded to know.

The husband and wife talked about the previous matter for a while, and Xie Zhiyun finally said Wei Ningshu's plea.

After Wei Ji listened quietly, he sighed: "Don't you know about the eldest sister?"

Xie Zhiyun shook his head.

Wei Ji thought for a while, then put down his chopsticks, and stared at the swaying tree shadow outside the window.

"Mrs. Li didn't want to remarry at the time, but she was saved by her father and mother, and she had the grace to save her life. Later, when my mother passed away, and I was still in my infancy, in order to raise me, she half-pushed and became my father's concubine. "

"Actually, my mother wanted my father to remarry, but Mrs. Li refused."

"She is dedicated to Buddha and always wants to be with Qingdeng. She doesn't want to take care of a family and raise so many children who are waiting to be fed."

So she only became a concubine. Now that there is a wife in the mansion, a second wife, and such wealth, she can always be with Qing Deng without distractions.

Wei Ji said: "I don't know what happened back then, I only know that Mrs. Li got pregnant unexpectedly and had to give birth to the eldest sister."

When Wei Ningshu was born, Wei Ji was over two years old.

At that time, Wei Ying was also older, and seeing that she was always sick, she took the initiative to take up the burden of raising her nephew, so that Zhang Li would not have to worry about Wei Ji, and could concentrate on raising Wei Ningshu.

"But at that time, my aunt was not very old, and she was still an unmarried daughter. She didn't understand many things, and she was not that careful. It was not easy for her to maintain the house, and she didn't know what happened in the invisible corner."

At that time, Wei Cang was licking blood with the knife head outside, and the rice grain he earned was all in exchange for flesh and blood. After he returned home, he was mostly recuperating from his injuries, so he didn't find out how Madam Li treated Wei Ningshu.

Wei Ji's voice was a little hoarse: "It's been like this for two years. At that time, I was more than four years old, and I finally found out that my sister was wrong."

"The other children would cry when they were hungry, urinated, or sleepy, but the eldest sister never dared to cry. She always sobbed softly. She was a small doll, as thin as skin and bones, and she especially refused to let Mrs. Li hold her."

Wei Ji said: "I was only four years old at the time, and the elders would not let me tease my younger sister casually, for fear that my hands were not serious, but I took advantage of Mrs. Li's going to chant Buddha's name, and secretly unwrapped my younger sister. "

"The place where she was swaddled was full of scars, layer upon layer, all gently dug out by fingernails."

When Xie Zhijun heard this, his hairs stood on end, and his body felt chills.

This is how much hatred, it will hurt one's own flesh and blood so far.

Wei Ji looked at Xie Zhijun, his eyes were bright and clear, as if he had become that four-year-old child again.

"I told my father right then and there that the family needed a new mother," he said.

"A real mother who can raise Shumei."
