After becoming a widow, I raised my traitor brother

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Fengxian was stunned on the spot.

He was at ease in the court, even facing an old fox like Murong Tao, he could play the game several times without fear.

But when facing Wei Zi, her few words could make him feel helpless and angry, like a general who had been beaten to pieces and discarded his armor.

When he acted tonight, he was too impatient and left such a big clue, which was completely unlike his usual style.

He reached out to pull Wei Zi: "Sister-in-law, what do you mean by this?! Don't you admit all the things in the past?! You clearly said you are interested in me -"

"Let me go!" Wei Zi broke away from him and took a few steps back with a pale face. "Everything in the past is just a big dream. Mr. Xiao, thank you for ordering someone to do it tonight. When I fell into the lake, I recovered. I remembered all the memories of my childhood before I left the capital, and also recalled the childhood friendship with His Highness. From now on, I will be his concubine peacefully, and please don’t hurt us again."

Xiao Fengxian's eyes turned red: "Those 12 years in Lingzhou City——"

"Just think that I gave it to you." Wei Zi turned around and left, "You just think that the former Wei Zi has died in the lake. Now in the world, there is only Xiao Zi of the Wei family of the Duke of Zhenguo."

It was New Year's Eve, and there was soft snow outside the eaves.

It was supposed to be the festival of reunion, but Wei Zi had to say goodbye to him tonight.

The palace lantern swayed, and Xiao Fengxian's shadow on the floor tiles was particularly lonely.

He clenched his fist tightly, and until Wei Zi's figure disappeared into the vast snow, he still couldn't take his eyes back.

She said it easily...

She was always like this, saying goodbye to him easily and trying to draw a clear line with him many times.

Xiao Fengxian should have been used to it, but her heart was beating wildly. He had a vague sense of crisis. The farewell tonight was different from the previous ones. This time, she really wanted to break up with him.

This time, she broke up with Zhou Xianji for his sake.

Nan Zhu felt guilty: "Young master, why don't you humble yourself and explain to Miss Wei? She is so soft-hearted. If you think about it, you can always save some affection. Don't you still want to secretly invite Miss Wei to our house tonight to stay up late? In the house. The cook has prepared a large table of delicious food, so we can’t let it go to waste, right?”

Biting cold.

Xiao Fengxian closed her eyes dejectedly.

Tonight is New Year's Eve, but no one will stay with him, and his sister-in-law, who was the best to him in the past, no longer wants him.

He was irritated and glared at Nanzhu coldly: "You know how to eat, and you love it so much, I'll reward you with a table of dishes!"

Nan Zhu was stunned: "Really?"

Xiao Fengxian became even more angry: "You messed up things and you still want to have New Year's Eve dinner? Go back home and eat on your own!"

The snowstorm is getting stronger.

Wei Zi walked along the palace lane to the palace gate, tears rolling down her cheeks.

Memories from her childhood and memories from 12 years in Lingzhou intertwined in her mind, making her so confused that she almost went crazy.

Even if she said harsh words to Xiao Fengxian, she was extremely certain that in terms of love between men and women, the person who attracted her heart was Xiao Fengxian. There was no doubt that it was Xiao Fengxian. It was His Highness who saved her ten or a hundred times. She harbored feelings for him. His feelings are still gratitude and guilt, or brotherly admiration based on childhood experiences, rather than the surprise and heart palpitations of liking a man.

But she is no longer a child after all.

She is the daughter of the Wei family.

She couldn't do anything deviant and continue to like her former brother-in-law.

She must recognize the emperor's gift of marriage.

She wanted to repay the favor she owed to His Highness.Outside the imperial city, dark mountains stretch vertically and horizontally.

It turns out that being sensible means shouldering two responsibilities. It turns out that growing up is not fun at all.

Cold snow is coming.

Qingju was sitting in front of the carriage. He saw her coming from a distance and jumped out of the car quickly: "Miss, you are finally out!"

Wei Zi fell into the water tonight, and her body was very weak. At this moment, she couldn't hold on to Qing Ju's shoulders. She covered her lips with a handkerchief and coughed a few times. She lowered her peach blossom eyes and said softly: "You have been waiting for me for so long. Let’s go back home.”

Wei Zi was ill for a day.

By the second day of the first lunar month, relatives from every household started walking around.

Originally, Wei Feishan was in charge of the house, but Wei Feishan followed Xue Ziyu to Xue's house. Wei Zi happened to have recovered from the high fever, so he took care of things.

Mrs. Wei was in the Nuan Pavilion, gathering with several old ladies from the official family to play cards and laugh. The maids were waiting with trays of tea and fruit. The air was filled with incense and fruit fragrance, and the pavilion was very lively.

Wei Zi held the gift list and asked to see him.

Mrs. Wei waved her hand and said: "Xiao Zi, you came just in time, look at the cards for me, I have already lost for two quarters of an hour!"

Wei Zi sat next to her with a smile, looked at the cards carefully, and pointed at one of the cards: "Grandma should play this one."

Mrs. Wei listened to her and happily threw the card, and she actually won.

"Okay," several other old ladies pretended to be angry, "You two grandsons are going into battle together, how do you want us to fight?"

"Grandma-in-law, don't be angry," Wei Zi frowned and whispered softly, "I specially prepared honeydew melon, which was specially shipped from the south. It is soft, glutinous and sweet and melts in your mouth. I have already told the maid to cut it into pieces and invite you later. Let’s try it together, mothers-in-law.”

She was born to be very delicate and charming, but also very well-behaved and docile.

All the old ladies present liked her.

Mrs. Wei asked: "Xiao Zi came to see me, but what's the important matter?"

Wei Zi held up the gift list in her hand and showed it to her: "My granddaughter has also prepared gifts for her uncle. But now that there is a rift between the two families, I wonder if I should send a steward to continue sending them? There is no movement on my uncle's side. I never sent anyone to visit..."

When the Xue family was mentioned, Mrs. Wei's expression turned ugly.

During the Chinese New Year, Xue Ziyu returned to her parents’ home and never came back.

Yesterday, on the first day of the first lunar month, Wei Ling sent Wei Huanjin to the Xue family to pick up people early in the morning. He thought that if they gave each other a chance, the matter would be over and they could live a good life this year, but the Xue family claimed that Xue Ziyu was here. Life in Zhenguo Gongfu was difficult. He was often wronged all year round and refused to go back even if he said anything.

Mrs. Wei said calmly: "They have lost their rules, but we must not neglect etiquette. Whether they accept the gifts or not is their business. Xiao Zi remembers that we don't care about others in everything and do it properly ourselves. Just be beautiful and don’t let anyone talk about you.”

Wei Zi said "yes" and left Nuange to send the steward to deliver gifts to the Xue family and ask when she would be back.

When the New Year's gifts were delivered to the Xue family, Xue Ziyu was playing cards with his sister-in-law, Mrs. Xue, and the female family members who were paying New Year's greetings and visiting relatives.

After listening to the maid's report that the Wei family steward asked when Xue Ziyu would come home, Mrs. Day, I still don’t know what I think of our Ayu! I’m afraid I’m scratching my head and having trouble sleeping and eating!”

The female relatives all laughed.

Xue Ziyu's cheeks were red, and she couldn't help feeling a little proud as she imagined Wei Ling fidgeting because of her.

She threw a card and chuckled: "Who asked him to reprimand me in front of so many people? It makes me lose all face. I will stay at my parents' house for a few more days to see him getting angry. I'm just happy."

"Yes," Mrs. Xue agreed, "Ayu, if he doesn't come to beg you in person, don't go back. You won't go back with him until he comes to visit you four or five times in person. The girls of our Xue family are the most precious. Don’t do anything to lower yourself!”
