Rebirth of the Spoiled Little Princess

Chapter 242 Forced Marriage
"Cough cough cough -" Mrs. Wei coughed again.

Wei Yunxue pursed her lips, suddenly lifted the curtain and walked in.

Hearing the noise coming from behind, the old grandma turned around and looked around. When she saw the familiar yet unfamiliar figure, she was suddenly startled and rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

"Little-Miss?!"

"Grandma." Wei Yunxue pulled her lips and forced a smile.

Another old nanny had already reacted, put down the brocade handkerchief in her hand, and came forward with a look of surprise and joy on her face: "When did the young lady come back? Why didn't you send a message?"

"A few days ago, the old lady was still talking about the young lady. Today the young lady actually came back. It's good that the old lady doesn't have to worry about her." Speaking of the old lady Wei, the old lady's eyes were a little red.

Wei Yunxue dealt with the words of the old ladies in a few words, and took Yun Nian a few steps to Mrs. Wei's bed.

Old Mrs. Wei just heard the conversation between her and the old ladies, but she was too weak to get up, so she could only lie on the bed and look in her direction.

Wei Yunxue carefully lifted Mrs. Wei up and placed a pillow behind her back.

Old Mrs. Wei sat half-sitting, lowered her head and coughed for a while, and then she managed to suppress her coughing.

"My Xiaojiu." She stretched out her hand tremblingly, wanting to touch Wei Yunxue's face.

"Grandma..." Wei Yunxue held her hand and stroked it to her face. The familiar warm touch touched her face. Wei Yunxue's eyes couldn't help but feel warm. She quickly lowered her head and covered it. He wiped out the tears welling up in his eyes.

Old Mrs. Wei is getting old and is no longer the energetic person she remembered. Wei Yunxue is also a person who is well versed in medical science. Just by inadvertently feeling her pulse, she knew that Old Mrs. Wei's time was running out.

I heard from the two old ladies who were serving her that His Royal Highness Prince Yu and the second lady of the Wen Mansion often came here to visit. A few days ago, they even called the old imperial doctor from Tai Hospital. They just mentioned Mrs. Wei's illness. The doctor also had a sad look on his face and was helpless, so he could only make good ginseng soup every day.

Old Mrs. Wei refused to tell her these things, fearing that she would be too worried, so she just forced herself to endure the time.If she hadn't come back suddenly this time, the old nanny would have planned to send her a message secretly after some time.

When leaving the Qingyuan, the old nanny held her and sighed as she hesitated to speak.

Wei Yunxue's eyes flashed slightly: "Grandma has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Miss, please don't mind if I say something unpleasant." The old woman wiped her tears with red eyes and said hoarsely: "You have also seen the old lady's condition. Her disease is dangerous, and her age It’s getting bigger again, I’m afraid it won’t last long.”

Wei Yunxue lowered her eyes and couldn't help but hold the hand hidden under her sleeve tighter.

"The old lady has been thinking about the girl. She really can't let go without seeing you in person, and she can't close her eyes." The old lady sighed again.

"Grandma, please take care of me." Wei Yunxue opened her mouth and said in a calm tone.

"Miss, what are you talking about? This is what an old slave should do." The old nanny hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and asked in a low voice: "Miss, do you want to stay longer when you come back this time?"

Wei Yunxue smiled faintly: "I'm going to stay forever, and I don't plan to leave."

"Hey! It would be nice if the young lady didn't leave." The old lady agreed happily, "Now that the young lady has settled down, our Duke's mansion is somewhat populated. Now that the master and the young master are not here, the old lady is gone again." I'm sick, so I can only take charge temporarily."

Wei Yunxue smiled and nodded. She knew the concerns of the old lady. She was afraid that she would not be able to survive this cold winter. The old lady was afraid that she would go to Mingyue City again and the old lady would not even look at her for the last time. Less than.

Zhou Yi heard from Wen Jing that Wei Yunxue was staying in Duke Wei's mansion, and brought the imperial doctor to visit him the next day. The old imperial doctor saluted Wei Yunxue, and then carried the medicine on his back. Xiang went into the house to see Mrs. Wei.

Zhou Yi looked at her tired look and stopped talking for a long time. Finally he sighed and said in a low voice: "I have already told my father about the situation of the Wei family, and my father has issued an imperial edict." , if it is rumored that A Li will return to Beijing, I think A Li will be back soon."

"En." Wei Yunxue pulled her lips and smiled, nodded and said warmly: "I heard from Grandma, thanks to you and Jing Jing for taking care of grandma during this time."

Zhou Yi snorted and waved his hands, as if you and I are being polite: "I have nothing important to do in the capital. Duke Wei and several young masters have joined the army, and you and A Li are far away in Mingyue City. , I am naturally duty-bound, as for Wen Jing..."

Speaking of this, he lowered his voice and looked around before whispering: "I heard that she was forced to get married by her father and brother, so she regarded this place as her own refuge and came here to take refuge from time to time.

Phew, Wei Yunxue laughed unkindly.

She knew that Wen Jing was forced to marry. To be more precise, since she left Mingyue City with Xue, one thing that Wen Jing must have mentioned in every letter he sent her was forced marriage.

Her brother, her father, her mother, even her seven aunts and eight aunts, and a large circle of relatives and friends who are beyond their reach. Every time they see her, the first words they say are "Yo? Girl?" You're so old, why haven't you gotten married yet?"

Wen Jing had complained to her many times about this. Why was there such a thing as forced marriage in every era?

"Actually, regarding forced marriage, it's not just Jingjing. His Highness Prince Yu, you should also be forced to suffer a lot, right?" Wei Yunxue raised his eyebrows and smiled with some evil intentions.

Of course, in the letter written to her by Miss Wen Er, she also mentioned Zhou Yi's forced marriage by Concubine Wen and Emperor Qingwen, and her tone was extremely gloating, and she also expressed her own views on this - " deserve it".

In fact, you can't blame Concubine Wen for being anxious. According to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, a man can marry at the age of fourteen, and a woman can marry at the age of fourteen. Now Zhou Yi is already twenty-four, and she is no longer a principal concubine in Prince Yu's palace. She doesn't even have a decent concubine, so it's no wonder she was forced into marriage.

Especially when Concubine Wen saw that Xue Li's children were already running around all over the floor, but her daughter-in-law was not even a shadow, how could she not be anxious?

When Zhou Yi mentioned this, Zhou Yi's head drooped, and the expression on his face was bleak: "Oh, you can't blame me for this. If I really meet the right person, I will hire him and marry him on the same day. The key is that there is no Meet the right one.”

As he spoke, he became angry again: "Hey Xiaojiu, you said that although the laws of Dazhou stipulate that a man can marry and have children at the age of fourteen, if I really don't marry, how can I still follow the law?" Can’t I arrest you?”
