"Jinjun, your niece-in-law is a good person. You must know this. No matter what happens in the future, you must not let her down."
Xia Jinjun nodded, "Uncle Wei, I won't."
"That's right. If my second brother treats my second sister-in-law unfairly, I will be the first to disagree."
"And me!"
"And me!"
Several children from the Xia family stood up one after another. Xia Jinjun deliberately put on a stern face and said, "You guys only know how to protect your mother. Does that mean your father is not your real father?"
"Hehe, Dad is my biological dad, but we are on my mom's side."
Xia Jinjun didn't say anything, just smiled. The fact that the children were following their mother showed that he, as a father, had not done enough.
Ling He ate silently on the side, thinking that his master should have received the news. He wondered how happy his master would be that Zhiliao was coming to the capital.
Wen Heng did know that Xia Zhiliao was coming to the capital. He was happy but also worried.
She came to the capital, and it would be impossible for me to pretend that I didn't know her.
But he was afraid that if he got too close, he would expose her to others.
Moreover, he had already persuaded the Empress Dowager to take her to meet Xia Zhiliao, but now, he had no choice but to choose another way.
…
"You said that girl is coming to the capital?" The Empress Dowager showed joy, "Didn't she say she didn't want to come? But she is here after all."
Wen Heng was afraid that the Queen Mother might misunderstand something, so he quickly said, "She came because of General Wei Rong."
"General Wei?" The Queen Mother looked at him suspiciously, "Does this girl know General Wei? General Wei has not been seen since he won the battle. Did he go to see that girl?"
Wen Heng shook his head and explained the whole story.
After hearing this, the Queen Mother remained silent for a long time.
"Ah, I didn't expect General Wei to be such a loyal and good man."
Although the Empress Dowager was a woman of the most noble status, she was still a woman after all. She had also thought about getting a man like her, but unfortunately, the emperor had no feelings.
"So, Zhiliao's grandmother is also a wonderful person."
Wen Heng nodded, "Grandmother, don't you want to see her?"
"What do you mean, kid?"
"How can I hide my grandson's thoughts from you?" Wen Heng said with a smile.
The Queen Mother also laughed, "I am going to meet that girl. She saved my life. I want everyone to know who saved my life."
Wen Heng looked at the Queen Mother with gratitude. This way, no one could easily harm Xia Zhile's family.
…
When the group arrived in the capital, it was more than ten days later and it was almost dark.
But following General Wei, even if the city gates were closed, they had to be opened so that the journey would be smooth.
The Xia family members all leaned out to look at the night view of the capital city and felt that this was what a fairyland was like.
"I'll take you around later. You must be tired from all the traveling. Let me take you back to the mansion to rest first." General Wei looked at Old Lady Xia, "Sister Qing, what do you think?"
Old Mrs. Xia looked tired. After all, she was old. As a woman, she could not compare with General Wei's years of training. "I'll listen to you."
The carriage stopped at the gate of the general's mansion. The gatekeeper saw that it was General Wei who had returned, and hurried to inform Wei Jianqing inside.
When he came out to greet them, half of the group had already left.
"Dad." Wei Jianqing shouted excitedly, "You're finally back. Why didn't you say hello?"
Without waiting for General Wei to speak, Wei Jianqing saw the Xia family again. At this moment, the Xia family saw such a group of people for the first time, and they felt a little embarrassed and restrained. Even Lei Jiuniang was a little nervous.
She is a businessman after all, so it is natural for her to feel nervous when meeting an official.
"This must be Aunt Qing, you're finally here." Wei Jianqing knelt down excitedly and kowtowed, "I'm Dad's adopted son, my name is Wei Jianqing."
He deliberately shouted the name loudly. No one present was stupid, so how could they not understand the meaning of the name?
When General Wei adopted him, he thought that he might never see Sister Qing again in this lifetime, but he never expected that he would really wait for this day.
At this moment, hearing this name, his old face turned red, "Ahem, take your brothers to rest."
"Yes, Dad, you take Aunt Qing to rest. Brothers, follow me. Let me guess, you are Xia Zhi, right?"
Xia Zhi nodded, "How do you know me?"
"The prince mentioned you. Come on, uncle will take you to your courtyard. I heard that my father went to see you. I knew you would be able to come. The accommodation has been prepared."
However, he didn't expect so many people to come. But it didn't matter. In such a big general's mansion, there were only him and his father living there, and there were plenty of rooms.
"Thank you for your help." Xia Jinjun said.
"You're welcome. You're older than me. Just call me Jianqing. You should be the second brother Xia, right?"
"That's right." Xia Jinjun didn't expect him to be so polite, and then introduced his brothers and sisters. In fact, Wei Jianqing is the youngest.
"It's good now. I'm not the only one at home. It's lively and bustling."
Xia Zhiliao had never expected that the now-invincible General Wei was a chatterbox when he was young. He never stopped talking on the way to find a place to rest.
"Second brother, when will my father and Aunt Qing get married? I have prepared the red silk."
Xia Jinjun almost choked on his own saliva. "This...this...is still too early, and...Brother Jianqing must have misunderstood. We are just visiting the capital. We won't stay long. We still have to go back."
"Go back? Go back to your place? What about my dad?" Wei Jianqing was anxious. "My dad has been waiting for Aunt Qing all these years, and listen to my name, isn't it obvious? Second brother, I'm telling you, my dad is really the most loyal man I've ever met, Aunt Qing, don't miss him."
Seeing how sincere he was, Xia Jinjun was a little worried at first, fearing that Uncle Wei's adopted son would mind. It was obvious that he was just being petty.
"Uncle Wei originally planned to go back with us."
"He goes with you? What about me? What should I do?" Wei Jianqing was anxious again, "Then I will be fatherless."
Xia Jinjun cleared his throat awkwardly, "I'm not too sure about what's going on. How about you discuss it with Uncle Wei?"
"Second brother is right. I have to go find my father. He can't abandon me. He has to take me with him when he goes back."
Xia Jinjun smiled. This little brother was quite interesting, but he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and in his eyes, he was almost like a child.
Xia Zhiliao was amused by Wei Jianqing's childishness.
Wei Jianqing made a face at Xia Zhiliao, "Xiao Zhiliao, you are laughing at your uncle, right?"
"No, she didn't." Xia Chen said hurriedly.
"Don't be afraid, sister-in-law. I don't eat people. The little cicada is so cute. I love it so much. It's all thanks to you that my father can meet Aunt Qing this time. Uncle has to thank you very much."
