After becoming a widow, I raised my traitor brother

Xiao Fengxian looked at Wei Zi.

She lowered her head and couldn't see the emotions on her face clearly.

He didn't know what to say, so he remained silent.

Wei Zi slowly put down her chopsticks, and when she looked at him, the smile on her lips was a bit forced.

Her charming face was filled with guilt: "Am I too childish? I promised to stay here with you forever, but after only two days, I broke my promise. Fengxian, I can't let go. Grandma and dad, I dream about them every night, I dream about them—"

She couldn't go any further.

When she thought of the tragic situation in the Zhenguo Palace in her dream, she trembled slightly, and an uncontrollable fear appeared on her face.

If her grandmother and father really died because of her, she would never forgive herself for the rest of her life.

She wants to go back to Beijing,
However, I feel sorry for Xiao Fengxian.

At this moment, she could even imagine how Xiao Fengxian would be angry and how he would quarrel with her.

But after waiting for a long time, she didn't see Xiao Fengxian getting angry.

Instead, his face showed calm and relief.

Seemingly sensing her surprise, Xiao Fengxian confessed sincerely: "I have been having a very hard time these past few days."

"What's the meaning of this?"

Xiao Fengxian told her life experience in detail, and then said: "Yesterday I went to burn incense at my father's grave. I couldn't light the incense candles and paper money... You don't know how scared I was at that moment. I thought, It was my father and mother who refused to forgive me. They were so miserable that they could not rest in peace. They wanted me to return to Shangjing to reverse the verdict for them and for those soldiers who died in vain."

The fox's eyes were faintly red.

Since he was a child, he has regarded himself as a bad guy who doesn't distinguish between good and evil, right and wrong. As long as he can get money, he can do any bad thing.

What guilt is, he has never heard of it and sneered at it!

But I don't know since when, he began to have big questions in his heart.

Seeing those pitiful and weak women and children, he would think of Wei Zi and the girl he had hidden in his heart. She had also endured hardships like them and was like a gaunt tree. Every time at this time, he would feel sorry for those old and young women and children. Be compassionate.

His heart is no longer as cold as iron.

That spring, in Shanyin County, Lingzhou City, Wei Zi opened the dusty wooden window. At that moment, her boudoir was filled with spring light, and his heart seemed to have the warmth of spring from that time on.

Because he fell in love with a woman, he became a warm person.

How incredible is the relationship between men and women, it can actually change a person's character more than thousands of books!

But precisely because his heart has become warm, he now clearly knows what shame is and what honor and disgrace are.

The guilt for his father and those undead souls defeated his nostalgia for Wei Zi, and the voice in his heart asked him to return to Beijing and overturn the verdict of the soldiers who died in vain.

Otherwise, even if he gets what he wants and stays with the woman he loves, he will not be able to be happy with peace of mind for the rest of his life.

Xiao Fengxian looked outside the door.

In the courtyard, the fine spring sunshine penetrated through the banana leaves and fell mottledly on the bluestone bricks.

Even the freest sunshine will be constrained into different shapes, let alone him and Wei Zi?

There was deep regret in his eyes: "Look, you are thinking of your loved ones, and I also have a heavy responsibility on my shoulders. It seems that even God doesn't allow you and me to be together."

Wei Zi is still digesting his story.

It wasn't until the food on the table was completely cold that she stared at Xiao Fengxian, reached out and held his hand: "I'll stay with you."

For Xiao Fengxian, going to Beijing is a prosperous and prosperous place of fame and fortune.

But for the son of King Dingbei, Shangjing was a dangerous place full of swords, mountains and seas of fire.

However, no matter how dangerous it is... Wei Zi is willing to accompany him.

The two did not stay in Furong Town for long. They packed their luggage and returned to Shangjing overnight.

It was already half a month later that Wei Zi returned to Zhenguo Palace.

She quietly returned to Heantang through the back door. Fortunately, everything was still the same here.

Jinmei stepped out of the threshold carrying the basin and suddenly saw her. She was so shocked that the basin fell to the ground with a clang.

With red eyes, she trotted forward and knelt down: "Miss!"

Wei Zi quickly supported her: "How is my grandmother?"

"It's still the same," Jin Mei wiped her tears, "You know that the old lady's health has always been poor. After you left, although she was happy that you left the cage, it snowed on a spring night a while ago, and the coldness entered her body for a while and triggered the old... She is sick. She keeps coughing at night and sleeps a lot less every day. Now she has just taken medicine and is lying down. I think she is still asleep. Can you go in and see her? "

Wei Zi hurriedly stepped into the bedroom.

There is still some medicinal smell left inside.

Fortunately, there is no wind today, the flower windows are open, and the light and shadow in the house are perfect.

She knelt down in front of the bed and became hoarse as soon as she opened her mouth: "Grandma..."

The old man lying on the couch looked much older than a month ago, and his face was pale and haggard.

Hearing Wei Zi's voice, she opened her eyes in surprise, her voice trembling: "Xiao...Xiao Zi?!"

Wei Zi burst into tears: "Grandma, my granddaughter is unfilial. You are so ill, but my granddaughter failed to fulfill her filial piety for you in front of your sick bed..."

"You kid!" The old man struggled to sit up, and raised his hand to hit her angrily, "You escaped so easily, why are you coming back?! Such an emperor, such a palace, you really want to marry into it and become a concubine Really?! If you come back for me, for the government, that would be foolish loyalty and foolish filial piety!"

She was old and very sick.

The old fist fell on Wei Zi's body, and it didn't hurt at all.

Wei Zi closed her eyes, and tears rolled down one by one: "The so-called foolish filial piety is unworthy of the Master. But my grandmother loves me to the core, and I am filial to you. How can it be called foolish filial piety? Bendang is really foolish filial piety, and I admit it."

"you……"

Mrs. Wei was sad and distressed.

She helped Wei Zi and asked her to sit on the edge of the bed.

She looked at the girl's face carefully through her cloudy tearful eyes. When she saw her gentle and peaceful features, she knew that Xiao Fengxian treated her very well. She also saw that her figure had lost two points. She guessed that it was caused by eating and sleeping in the open air, and she couldn't help but feel sorry for her suffering. .

She choked up and said, "You kid, you really don't worry me."

Wei Zi wiped her tears and said with a smile, "Grandma blames me when we meet her. Doesn't she miss me?"

Mrs. Wei cried and laughed.

Her little purple is the jewel in her palm that she lost and found.

She had been gone for a month, how could she miss her?
It's just that compared to her insignificant miss, she would rather her Xiao Zi live happily in the world.

The old man shed tears before he could speak. After a while, he hugged Wei Zi tightly into his arms.

Wei Zi waited on the old man and went to sleep again. After returning to the boudoir, he called Jin Mei over for questioning.

She asked: "Does the palace know about my running away?"

Jin Mei shook her head: "The old lady hid it very tightly. She said she could hide it for as long as possible. Not to mention that the palace didn't know, even the Duke and the eldest son didn't know!"

Wei Zi wondered: "Dad and brother don't know either?!"

"Ever since the Duke of Guo and his wife reconciled, he has been in a state of despair all day long. I guess it was because he missed his wife." Jin Mei said in a clear tone, "The old lady couldn't stand it, so she asked someone to look after the Duke of Guo. Looking at the step-brother, I have visited ten houses one after another in the past half month. I am either eating wine at this house or drinking tea at that house. I am very busy! As for the eldest son, the emperor has appointed him as a guard with a sword in front of the emperor, day and night. I live in the palace and rarely go back to the palace. Now the second lady and Miss Yu are doing all the management of the palace." (End of this chapter)
