Yuan Nan'an and Yuan Musheng were both shocked when they heard this.
Yuan Nan'an was pouring water with his back to Yuan Musheng and did not notice the unusual expression on his elder brother's face.
When she first heard about her future, she felt uneasy.
Most of the things she had heard from Zhizhi before were things that had happened in the past.
For example, my grandmother poisoned herself and made her voice hoarse, and my father took a mistress.
She remembered that she had also heard Zhizhi muttering that her mother had put her illegitimate daughter from a concubine into the royal jade disc.
It was the first time I heard words about my future.
Is it... so miserable?
Her hand holding the cup trembled slightly, and she drank the full cup of water in one gulp.
When Yuan Musheng heard this, he once again confirmed that there was no one else in the room except the little girl beside him.
So the baby voice he heard was his sister's inner voice?
Yuan Musheng looked at Yuan Zhizhi who was giggling at him, and then looked at Yuan Nanan who had been pouring a glass of water for a long time.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and called out, "Nannan."
Yuan Nan'an trembled slightly, took a deep breath, then turned around and brought the water over.
Yuan Musheng took the cup and asked the first question: "When did your voice get better?"
My second sister was born when my parents just moved to Yangzhou. At that time, my mother left him in the capital for his future.
But during those years, he would come back to Yangzhou every year to live for a while, and he and his second sister had a deep brotherly relationship.
He has always treated Yuan Nan'an very well.
A few years ago, the servant next to him told him that the second young lady's voice was damaged and she could no longer speak.
But at that time he was in low spirits and unable to take care of himself, so he was unwilling to care even if he had some ups and downs in his heart.
But when I saw him today, Yuan Nan'an spoke very normally. What happened?
Hearing that his elder brother was willing to care about him again, Yuan Nan'an was so excited that his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
In the first two years after her eldest brother got into trouble, she secretly came to see him.
But the eldest brother didn't want to see anyone, not even her, and would even yell at her if she got close to him.
She sat down next to her elder brother and younger sister, lowered her head and pinched Zhizhi's little face:
"Brother, Zhizhi is our family's lucky star... Without her... Mom would have been kept in the dark by Dad, raised a concubine's daughter and had an illegitimate child, and then drugged to death... I would have to be a mute all my life..." As she spoke, tears fell from her eyes.
She didn't cry when she heard that her father had a concubine, she didn't cry when she heard that her father poisoned her mother, she didn't cry when she heard that her throat was incurable, and she didn't even cry when she heard about her miserable future.
Before, she only knew that her mother was struggling, her eldest brother stayed indoors, her third brother was nowhere to be found, and her youngest sister was crying for food.
Even though I am a mute, I am the only one my mother can rely on.
If I gave up, I would really push my mother into a dead end.
So she never cried no matter how sad she was.
But now, she shed tears because of her elder brother's question which was not really concerned.
Seeing her second sister crying, Yuan Zhizhi frowned.
[Sister, don't cry~Sister, if she cries, Zhizhi will be unhappy...]
Yuan Nanan picked up her little sister very skillfully. Her elder brother's leg was healed today, and she was sure it was related to Zhizhi again.
Only Zhizhi has the ability to make the eldest brother stand up in an instant.
I just heard Zhizhi talk about "spiritual fruit".
She and her mother can hear Zhizhi's thoughts, but can her elder brother hear it?
Yuan Musheng looked at the lively sister who always followed him around when they were young, and now became so aggrieved and restrained, and couldn't help feeling a little distressed.
He finally reached out and wiped the tears from Yuan Nan'an's face.
Yuan Nan'an looked at Yuan Musheng's legs and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Brother, do you want to find a doctor to take a look at your legs?"
Yuan Musheng shook his head: "What happened today is only known to you, me... and Zhizhi. Don't even tell mother."
He needs some time to digest these things.
Then decide what to do next.
————
Yuan Zhao discovered that Yuan Zhizhi had been sleeping more and more in recent days, spending seven or eight hours out of the twelve hours a day asleep.
She was a little worried, so she took Zhizhi to see Doctor Zhang.
The imperial physician simply said that Zhizhi had expended too much energy and fell asleep.
Is it too much energy? Zhizhi can't even roll over yet, and the most she does every day is lying in bed with her neck tilted back to drink milk.
Where does the consumption come from?
Yuan Zhao thought carefully and realized that this abnormality seemed to have started since Yuan Nan'an's voice recovered, and it has become more and more severe in the past few days.
She was a little scared. Did Zhizhi sacrifice something to save Nan Nan?
She wanted Nan Nan to recover, but she also didn't want Zhi Zhi to pay a huge price.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long, and after a few days, Yuan Zhizhi's condition gradually recovered.
As the New Year was approaching, Wei Shaoqing had never returned since his warehouse was robbed.
On the one hand, he was anxious about getting the treasure back, and on the other hand, the weather was bad this year and heavy snow had been falling for almost half a month.
Many places in Yangzhou were affected by the disaster, and as the governor of the state, he was really busy this time.
During this period, only Lord Zhao came twice to report to Yuan Zhao on the progress of recovering the lost items.
It seems that Wei Shaoqing and the old lady really suffered this time. They almost sold out their private warehouses. Gan Tang heard that Xingyuxiang had also sold out its private warehouses.
Even so, there is still a part that has not been collected.
Just when they were at a loss, Wei Wanxue returned from the capital.
Wei Wanxue is Wei Shaoqing's biological sister and also the old lady's late-born daughter.
She was born at a good time. Two years after her birth, Wei Shaoqing became the top scorer in the imperial examination and was favored by the emperor, who immediately promoted him to be the son-in-law of the emperor.
