Chapter 85 Open the wooden box and sleep together

Wei Wei sent Zhou Youxuan back to his room and fed Dapang some cat food before going to rest.

His room and Zhou Youxuan's room were opposite each other in the same bedroom. In the middle of the night, Zhou Youxuan walked straight into his bed as if sleepwalking.

Wei Wei heard the noise the moment Zhou Youwan opened his bedroom door. He thought Zhou Youwan just got up to drink water or go to the bathroom, but he didn't expect Zhou Youwan to come straight into his room.

It was not known whether Zhou Youguan was still drunk or was half asleep, but she lifted the quilt and lay down beside him.

Wei Wei called him, but Zhou Youguan did not respond and soon began to snore.

“…”

Wei Wei shook his head helplessly and had to get up and crawl out to give his place to Zhou Youxuan. However, Zhou Youxuan seemed to know that he was leaving, and as soon as Wei Wei stood up, he was pushed back by Zhou Youxuan's arm.

"Why are you pretending to be asleep?"

Zhou Youguan didn't respond, but his mouth was slightly open and he was snoring regularly. It didn't look like he was pretending to sleep.

Wei Wei felt that he did it on purpose.

Maybe he was used to being stuck by Da Pang these days, so even when Zhou Youguan got so close to him and even came to his bed, he didn't chase him away immediately.

In the past, he was not used to being in such a close distance with others.

Wei Wei pushed Zhou Youxuan's strong arm away, but Zhou Youxuan stuck to his shoulder again and refused to let him go.

"I'm going to sleep outside."

Zhou Youguan hummed a few times but refused to let go.

Zhou Youguan didn't close the door when he came in. Dapang followed him in at some point and jumped directly onto the bed to sleep with them.

Big Fatty was used to sticking to Wei Wei. It crawled between the two of them and used its claws to pry Zhou Youxing's hands apart. When it found that it couldn't pry them apart, it deliberately scratched his flesh with its nails and slapped him hard several times before Zhou Youxing loosened his arms a little. Big Fatty crawled into the gap under his arms, rested its head against Wei Wei's cheek, and slowly began to snoring comfortably.

Wei Wei: “…”

Zhou Youlan said that when a cat makes such a sound, it proves that it likes you very much and feels safe and relaxed around you.

Originally, Wei Wei was planning to leave the bedroom and give the bed to Zhou Youlan, but with Dapang sticking to him like this, he was reluctant to leave.

They stayed like this for most of the night. In the second half of the night, Wei Wei felt sleepy and actually fell asleep, staying up all night until dawn.

It was not until the next morning when Dapang started parkour that Wei Wei was awakened by the noise he made.

When he woke up and saw Zhou Youguan's enlarged face, he was stunned for a moment.

He didn't have a nightmare that whole night, and he fell into a deep sleep without realizing it, and completely lost his vigilance.

This is a big taboo for people who practice martial arts, and it is also very deadly for those who are on the battlefield all year round.

For so many years, he has maintained the habit of not falling asleep soundly, and would wake up at the first sign of any disturbance. But last night he slept soundly and did not feel any discomfort when he woke up.

He had almost forgotten how comfortable it felt to be able to fall asleep peacefully.

It was really strange that every time he was with Zhou Youlan, he would involuntarily let down his guard.

"Ah'an, good morning."

Zhou Youguan had just woken up, his voice still unclear, low and deep, very seductive. But only he knew that he had a cold.

I drank some wine last night and had a cold, then came back from the bed in the middle of the night and my nose got blocked.

Wei Wei lifted the quilt and saw a bulge in Zhou Youlan's pants. He turned his eyes away and pulled the quilt back over Zhou Youlan.

"Isn't this how men usually react in the morning?" Zhou Youguan turned sideways. "Did Big Fatty wake you up?"

Seeing Dapang running around and playing beside the bed, Zhou Youxuan muttered, "It's strange. Dapang never goes to bed to sleep. He always sleeps in his own little bed. I didn't expect him to actually go to bed last night. Did you spoil him?"

"This little thing has been with you for a while, and it's actually willing to be close to you."

In fact, he came here in a daze last night. He was just thinking about Wei Wei in his heart. He didn't want to do anything, he just wanted to stay with Wei Wei. He got drunk and came over.

When he got up to go to the bathroom at dawn, he saw Dapang clinging to Wei Wei with his head buried in his face, looking extremely clingy.

He had never experienced this kind of scene, this kind of picture, and this kind of treatment before.

Dapang really likes Wei Wei and is really attached to Wei Wei.

Wei Wei patted the quilt and motioned Dapang to come up. Dapang really jumped up and buried his head in Wei Wei's palm.

Zhou Youlan saw the first and most beautiful smile of the day.

Zhou Youlan thought that Big Fat had done him a great service. If it hadn't kept Wei Wei here, Wei Wei would have probably left him and slept somewhere else last night.

"Well, I'm going to go wash up and have breakfast later. Then we have to prepare to fly to City A. The live broadcast will be recorded in two days, so we need to go there in advance to prepare."

"So we have to leave the old house?" Wei Wei thought of the wooden box in the ancestral hall.

Zhou Youguan nodded and said, "If you like living here, we will come back after this work is finished."

If he wanted to leave, he had to find out what was in the wooden box in the ancestral hall first. Zhou Youguan had been sticking to him almost all the time these days, and he had no chance to find out.

However, fate did not always go as planned. The assistant had originally booked a flight for them to City A in the evening, but in the afternoon, dark clouds began to gather and it started to rain heavily, so the plane could not fly on time. They had no choice but to change their flight to the next day.

Assistant Zhou noticed that Zhou Youguan had cold symptoms and quickly found a family doctor to check him out. However, the rain continued to fall all afternoon, and the family doctor did not arrive at the old house until after dinner.

"It's just a stuffy nose, nothing serious."

"You have to get checked out, though. We can't wait until it gets serious before treating it, right?" Assistant Zhou was practically heartbroken. "You have a show to record in a couple of days. What if it gets worse?"

There was no choice but Zhou Youlan had to accept the arrangement.

Wei Wei found an excuse not to follow Zhou on the tour. He took advantage of the rainy night and secretly came to the Zhou family ancestral hall.

When he came here, he deliberately cut off the power supply here. At this time, the courtyard circuits on the ancestral hall side were all powered off. He looked up at the surveillance camera in the corner. Now no one would notice that he had been here.

Wei Wei braved the rain and rushed into the ancestral hall. His figure was so fast that only a black afterimage could be seen, and soon he appeared in the hall.

The candles in the ancestral hall were still burning, but the wind and rain outside blew out several candles.

Wei Wei took out a flashlight and opened the wooden box directly.

There was indeed something in the wooden box, an old, yellowed book and a bamboo slip.

The yellowed book is the Zhou family genealogy, as well as the Zhou family rules that Zhou Liyue had taught Zhou Youlan to remember since he was a child. It does not look like something from the Daqi era, but it has been around for a few hundred years. Perhaps the Zhou family had experienced some changes in the past, and later they rewrote a new family tree.

Wei Wei put the family tree aside and opened the bamboo slips.

The moment he opened the bamboo slips, Wei Wei felt very familiar with it. This was the common font of the Daqi era, and many of the characters were very different from those of the present era.

He also felt that the handwriting on it was very familiar, but after just a quick glance at the two vertical lines, he thought of Zhou Zheng.

The handwriting on it is straight and straight, exuding a clear and elegant feeling, just like Zhou Zheng himself.

However, this turned out to be... a confession of guilt written by Zhou Zheng himself.

Zhou Zheng wrote this confession of guilt with tears and blood, revealing that he had been corrupt in his official duties, having listened to the instigation of treacherous officials and accused General Wei of collaborating with the enemy and treason. This unwise act had led to the unjust deaths of tens of thousands of Wei soldiers outside Qifeng Pass...

Zhou Zheng wrote down the truth about the Wei family's treason case. He knew who had handed him the letter that was submitted to the emperor to convict the Wei family of treason, and who had instigated him to file a complaint in front of the emperor. He regretted every word.

But what shocked Wei Wei was the word "new monarch" that appeared in it. After Zhou Zheng learned the truth, he wanted to use this official uniform to overturn his impeachment, but he did not expect that the one who planned all this was the new monarch who had just ascended to the high position, Xiao Chengyun.

If it weren't for the emperor's secret instructions and encouragement, it would not have been so easy to take back Wei Yinchao's military power.

Zhou Zheng was filled with anger and despair. He understood that the new monarch wanted to reshuffle the court officials, seize power and intimidate all other officials, but he could not accept that a monarch would collude with the enemy in order to regain military power, and the bargaining chips were the soldiers who defended the territory for him at the border.

Xiao Chengyun would not keep him, and he knew that if he did not keep silent he would end up dead. However, when he thought of the Zhou family members, he still felt timid and selfish. For the sake of the Zhou family's descendants, he could not implicate them all. In the end, he became depressed and resigned from his official uniform.

He knew very well that his ideas were not in line with the monarch's, and he could not go along with those treacherous ministers. He wanted to be a good official but was not upright enough. He had already become a treacherous minister but could not go along with evil... So he removed himself from the Zhou family tree and dared not use the surname Zhou anymore. He would carry the grave of the sinner Anonymous on his back and commit suicide in front of General Wei's grave.

Zhou Zheng also did not allow the descendants of the Zhou family to bury him in the Zhou family ancestral tomb. He deserved to be buried in a random pit dug in the wilderness, or to be eaten by wild dogs.

Wei Wei's eyes and heart shrank. He had already guessed this, but after seeing Zhou Zheng's letter, he still couldn't suppress his anger.

He guessed that Zhou Zheng might have been deceived, so he reported the Wei family to the emperor on charges of treason, but he did not expect that the one who set up this murderous plan would be Xiao Chengyun.

In order to get rid of the tiger beside him, the Wei family, Xiao Chengyun actually used such shameful means and framed the Wei family and the Daqi soldiers who fought desperately to defend the territory with such a heart-wrenching crime!

When his poor father was unjustly executed, he still begged Xiao Chengyun desperately, saying that he would rather be cut into pieces and his bones were crushed to ashes, but he would still ask the monarch to bring back the bodies of the 80,000 soldiers who died tragically outside Qifeng Pass to Daqi, and not let them be exposed in the enemy's city and trampled by the enemy.

However, Xiao Chengyun turned a deaf ear to it.

Before he died, my father looked towards the northern desert, his heart filled with sorrow and guilt. How could he close his eyes?

Wei Wei's arms fell weakly, but he held on to a corner of the brief as it was about to fall. The tragic deaths of his parents and brothers appeared before his eyes. He was extremely sad and angry, and walked towards the nameless tablet beside him with heavy steps.
