After becoming a widow, I raised my traitor brother

Chapter 296 I'll Take You Home
Even though it was a snowy night, Wei Zi still had a layer of sweat on the tip of her nose because she was pulling and chasing the snow.

She wiped her sweat and looked back at Xiao Fengxian.

He had just come out of the palace, still wearing the purple official robe he wore during the day.

She was a little dissatisfied with him, and pulled the reins tightly, saying: "Since it's a curfew, then you arrest me, just like you arrest other people."

The girl grew up in the south, and her voice has the softness and gentleness unique to the south, like a warm, soft and waxy white glutinous rice cake in winter.

Xiao Fengxian stepped off the carriage: "How dare I arrest you? Look at you, you probably ran away from home secretly. Why, are you not afraid of your father punishing you? Your father, that old stubborn man, had a quarrel with me in the imperial study today."

old stubborn...

Wei Zi couldn't help but pursed her lips when she thought of her father's appearance.

Xiao Fengxian opened her umbrella to protect her from the wind and snow: "Where are you going, I'll give you a ride."

Wei Zi hesitated.

Although it was safer to let Xiao Fengxian send her off, she wanted to find Yuhehuan after all.

She looked at him guiltily.

The light of the glazed wind lantern floated between the two of them, reflecting the falling white snow. The distance between them seemed to be a small world isolated from the entire solemn and majestic Shangjing City. Only each other could be seen.

Seeing Wei Zi's expression, Xiao Fengxian had already guessed.

He stretched out his hand and gently wiped the fine snow from her eyebrows: "Sister-in-law is going to find Yu Hehuan, right? The only person who can make you ignore the rules and curfew and go to see her in such a hurry is Jade, who is walking precariously on the edge of the cliff. Acacia. My sister-in-law regards her as a friend and wants to give her a hand."

Snowy night and cold weather.

Wei Zi's breath was filled with small clouds of mist.

She stared at Xiao Fengxian blankly, and couldn't help but tighten her hands on the reins.

Sure enough, she couldn't hide anything from him.

She said: "Since you knew it was her, why didn't you arrest her?"

Xiao Fengxian looked at Wei Zi. Although her expression was calm and composed, there was pity in her eyes: "She is my sister-in-law's close friend and my sister-in-law's cousin. How can I arrest her?"

Wei Zi was stunned again.

Xiao Fengxian knew far more and earlier than her.

In fact, perhaps even Rong Jiarong already knew the origin of Yu Hehuan's identity.

Everyone came from Lingzhou together and obviously shared the joys and sorrows, but she was the only one who knew nothing.

Wei Zi couldn't help but feel disappointed.

Perhaps seeing her emotions, Xiao Fengxian held her hand: "Let's go and see Yu Hehuan. It won't be sooner or later that we know the truth. Some things are destined to be the most suitable for you to do."

The young man's hands are warm and strong.

Wei Zi stared at his back and subconsciously followed him onto the carriage.

Even if there is a curfew in the city, Xiao Fengxian can still travel unimpeded.

At this moment, the street was quiet and people were sleeping. Only the ram's horn lanterns hanging along the street vaguely illuminated the quietly falling snow.

Two quarters of an hour later, the carriage stopped at the Fairy Queen Gate of Magpie Bridge.

Wei Zi knew that Yu Hehuan used the first floor as a place to conduct business, and she lived on the second floor.

She took off her hood and knocked hard on the door: "Boss Yu, Boss Yu!"

After drinking for about half a cup of tea, Yangliu put on his clothes and held a candle. He hurried downstairs and opened the door. When he saw Wei Zi, he was surprised and welcomed her in quickly: "Why did Miss Wei come out on such a snowy night?" ?!”

"I'm here to find your lady."

Yang Liu didn't know what was important for her, so he had to lead her to the second floor: "The lady has fallen asleep. I will wake her up now."

When she arrived at Yu Hehuan's boudoir, she didn't know that the lights were on, but she didn't fall asleep.

Yang Liu smiled and said: "Miss Wei, please sit down. I will make you and Miss a cup of hot almond milk tea to help you get rid of the cold."

Wei Zi saw her closing the door, then turned to Yu Hehuan: "Are you hiding something from me?"

Yu Hehuan flipped through the account books casually: "That's a strange question. What can I hide from you?" Wei Zi looked at her.

She was born beautiful, but her eyebrows hid the pride and tenacity she had gained over the years. Sitting in the candlelight, she seemed to be covered with a layer of pale golden flames. Such a hot temperature seemed to melt the cold and long snow. night.

Yes, she had come through these long 18 years alone.

Wei Zi thought for a while and took the account book from her hand.

Meeting Yu Hehuan's surprised gaze, she said: "What should I call you now, Boss Yu or my cousin?"

Yuhehuan could not hide her surprise and remained silent for a long time.

After a while, her hand on the desk suddenly tightened and she asked, "Did Xiao Fengxian tell you?"

"I guessed it myself."

Yu Hehuan lowered her eyes: "Yes, you are so smart, you should be able to guess... Miss Wei, considering our many years of friendship, just pretend you don't know anything. Don't worry, even if something happens to me later, I will Your grandmother and your family will never be implicated.”

She was so decisive, as if she had long been determined to redress the injustice alone.

But Wei Zi knew that it would be difficult.

Getting the emperor to admit that he was wrong is even harder than ascending to heaven.

She said: "What are you talking about? Do you think I came to you tonight just to clear up the relationship?"

"if not?"

Wei Zi suddenly held her hand tightly: "I'll take you home."

go home……

Yu Hehuan stared at Wei Zi in disbelief.

She had lived for more than ten years and no one had ever said this word to her.

Wei Zi said seriously: "Grandma misses your father very much. If she knew that there is still a grandniece alive in the world, she would definitely be very happy. Boss Yu - no, cousin Hehuan, you and I should be a family. "

"I..." Yu Hehuan wanted to say yes, but the words turned into denial again, "In all these years, I have never relied on anyone. I don't like others to cause trouble to me, and I will not cause trouble to others. Trouble. Just leave, I won’t implicate you in this matter.”

The girl withdrew her hand and turned around, looking as if her heart was as hard as iron.

Wei Zi sneered: "Do you think that if you don't have anything to do with us, things won't involve us? Do you think that the cousin's matter really didn't involve the Yu family? Cousin Hehuan, the Yu family has been guarding the northwest border for so many years. Aren't you surprised that even though he has achieved great military exploits, he has never been transferred back to the capital by your majesty? My father has made great achievements for generations, but now he is still ignored by your majesty. Even I can be regarded as a concubine. Your majesty has nothing to do with the government of Zhenguo. This is clearly evident. I am helping you not only to help you, but also to seek justice from His Majesty."

Yu Hehuan bit her lower lip tightly.

Just when she was hesitating, there was suddenly the sound of a broken window.

A sharp arrow roared in!

"careful!"

Wei Zi pulled Jade Acacia in time, and the sharp arrow grazed her cheek!

Yuhehuan looked out the window in shock: "Who is it?!"

Countless men in black emerged quietly from the snowy night and attacked her without saying a word!
"Second brother!"

Wei Zi shouted in desperation.

Xiao Fengxian had already noticed the movement upstairs.

A sharp narrow knife appeared in the boudoir faster than him, and directly slashed the necks of the leading men in black. After leaving a deep blood line, the men in black fell to the ground and died.

Queen Xiao Feng stepped into the boudoir and took the spinning narrow knife.

He turned the narrow knife, protected Wei Zi and Yu Hehuan behind him, and stared coldly at the group of men in black: "It seems that there are other people in the court who have found out the source of the nursery rhyme. Boss Yu, they are going to Kill your mouth."

Jade Acacia's heart beat like thunder.

She clasped hands with Wei Zi: "I just want to seek justice for my father. I just want to be able to go to the temple to offer incense for my father and mother on their death anniversary. Who can I offend by just praying for this?" Whose interests are being hindered? Isn’t it possible that in this world, we can’t even seek justice?!”

Wei Zi watched nervously as Xiao Fengxian dealt with the group of men in black.

The masters behind these people do not want what happened 18 years ago to appear in the public eye again.

why?
