Chapter 756: Ziyi’s Birthday
Du Wei was in a bad mood. He walked around the yard and then returned to the study.
The door of the study was ajar. When she pushed it open, she saw a man standing with his back to her.
Hearing the door open, the man turned around, holding a book in his hand and a smile on his face.
"Xiaowei, your story is so well written. I like it." Du Yan said with a smile, a look of curiosity on her face. "Tell me, is this Du Xiniang the murderer? Lan Sheng saved her when he was a child, so she couldn't bear to kill him?"
Du Wei glanced at her without any intention of explaining, but sat down on the chair behind the desk.
"Xiaowei, why are you ignoring me? Such a pretty face is so sullen all day long. What a shame! She's not as cute as she was when she was little." Du Yan muttered, "But no matter what, our Xiaowei is the most beautiful."
Du Yan was talking on and on, but when she saw Du Wei pick up the pen and prepare to write, she suddenly fell silent.
She stared at Du Wei for a while, then put the book back in its place, quietly left the room, and closed the door gently.
As soon as Du Yan left, Du Wei put down his pen and took out the birthday invitation card that he had hidden close to his body.
Is she going to Wei Ziyi’s birthday?
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye it was Wei Ziyi's birthday.
On this day, Wei Ziyi was particularly excited and changed into new clothes. The young man in white clothes, with a scholarly air, was particularly pleasing to the eye.
Everyone was happy as if it was his birthday, but only Tang Li and Wei Qing knew the truth.
"Seeing Ziyi so excited, I became nervous and curious about what my future daughter-in-law will look like." Wei Qing said.
"It would be great if two people could love each other, support each other, and grow old together." Tang Li said.
"Yes, just like us." Wei Qing understood it deeply.
He and his wife are very happy, and hope that their children can also find their own happiness.
The birthday party was held in the evening, and guests arrived one after another in the afternoon.
All the people invited to this birthday party were familiar people.
The Gu family, the Bai family, and Ziyi's friends...
As the birthday boy, Wei Ziyi was naturally very busy. Many people gave him gifts and talked to him.
Whenever he had free time, Wei Ziyi would look into the crowd to see if there were any unfamiliar girls.
But at first glance, they are all familiar people.
As time passed, Wei Ziyi's expectations gradually dissipated, replaced by uneasiness.
Could it be that Weiyu actually doesn't like herself?
So not coming to see me is also a subtle way of saying goodbye?
The boy's spirit was visibly depressed.
When most of the guests had arrived and there were no new guests, Wei Ziyi couldn't help but go to the door.
"Is there a girl named 'Wei Yu' coming?" Wei Ziyi asked.
There was anticipation in his tone, hoping that there were too many people and he couldn't find her, but that she had actually arrived.
The concierge thought for a moment and shook his head: "No."
Wei Ziyi's heart sank instantly.
The birthday party is about to begin, but Weiyu won't come.
Wei Ziyi returned to the place where the birthday party was set up in a daze.
A large hand patted his shoulder.
Wei Ziyi turned to look at him and forced a smile: "Dad."
"It's okay, son. Not everyone is like your father and mother, who fall in love at first sight and are in love with each other. Some people fall in love over time, while others fall in love after being pursued. So, it's normal to have some setbacks. Don't be discouraged, we still have a chance." Wei Qing said.
Wei Qing had experienced this before, so he naturally understood the feeling of being completely moved by another person.
This feeling is sweet and sour. There is sweetness and sourness. After you get through the sourness, it will be sweet.
After Wei Qing's comfort, Wei Ziyi felt better.
Today is his birthday party, which was carefully prepared for him by his mother. There are so many guests coming, so he must cheer up and have a happy birthday.
Wei Ziyi held his head high and chest out, then nodded towards Wei Qing.
"I understand. Thank you, Dad."
"Let's celebrate your birthday first. After that, Dad will make plans for you." Wei Qing said, "Dad has a lot of experience in this area."
Wei Ziyi smiled and nodded again.
The sound of firecrackers rang out and the birthday party began.
The young man in white is surrounded by stars and receives blessings from his relatives and friends.
Outside the Wu Mansion.
A woman in a cloak stood there, holding the invitation tightly in her hand, listening to the sound of firecrackers, but still lacking the courage to take this step.
She didn't have the courage to step into the Wu Mansion, nor did she have the courage to stand in front of Fei Zhu.
They were so close, their thoughts so similar, she was afraid Fei Zhu would show disgust after knowing that she was mute...
She doesn't care about other people's looks, but if it's Fei Zhu, she will collapse.
Du Wei stood against the wall and said silently in his heart.
Feizhu, happy birthday.
I'm sorry, I don't have the courage to see you.
The sky gradually darkened, and Du Wei felt a little numb from standing there.
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Xiaowei, why are you here?"
"Wu Mansion? This is Wu Mansion? It's so late, what are you doing standing here?"
Du Wei quickly came back to his senses and kept shaking his head, not caring whether Du Yan could see it or not.
"Let's go home. It's dangerous outside." Du Yan said, and was about to pull Du Wei's hand, but she dodged him.
Du Yan didn't care and followed her, and the two of them walked towards the Du Mansion together.
"It's a long way back, let's take a carriage."
"Oh, why are you so stubborn? Never mind, I'll go with you."
"It's late, you're alone, and you can't talk. It's very dangerous, don't you know?"
"If you meet a bad person and get sold, we won't be able to find you."
Du Yan talked non-stop along the way.
Because of her chattering, Du Wei's attention was distracted and he didn't feel so bad anymore.
After returning to the Du family, Du Wei quickly walked back to his yard and finally got rid of Du Yan.
After entering her yard, Zhao saw Du Wei and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss, you are finally back. I was scared to death." Zhao said.
Du Wei took off his hat and shook his head at Zhao, indicating that he was fine.
"I was worried when I saw you didn't come back, so I went to find the eldest lady... The eldest lady would definitely not look for you. I was just desperate and tried every possible means. I'm glad you're back..." Zhao said, patting her chest.
The eldest lady would definitely not look for her, both she and Zhao thought so.
But Du Yan appeared at the door of Wu Mansion so coincidentally that Du Wei felt a little strange.
Du Yan walked towards his yard, thinking about what had happened recently.
Xiaowei asked someone to inquire about Wei Ziyi.
Xiaowei stood outside the Wu Mansion.
Wei Ziyi is the second son of the Regent King, so he lives in the Wu Mansion. It seems that today is Wei Ziyi's birthday...
She felt that there must be something fishy going on between Xiaowei and Wei Ziyi, and she had to continue to find out.
Du Yan quickly found out the relationship between the two of them. They had corresponded and got along well, but had never met.
A few days later.
The backyard of the Du Mansion.
A middle-aged woman sat there, looking at the account book, with a sharp look between her brows.
Du Yan walked back and forth in front of the woman and told her what he had found out.
"Mother, what do you think of Wei Ziyi?" Du Yan asked. "He's the second son of the Regent. He's incredibly handsome and talented, a true emperor."
The woman was the eldest lady of the Du family. Without even raising her head, she simply said, "Not worthy of him."
"What's so worthy about this? If we have a mutual understanding, why bother about status?" Du Yan disagreed.
"Marriage is not just a matter between two people. There is also the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and disputes in the backyard. If the status of the wife's family is low, the husband's family will definitely look down on her. The higher the position and power, the more disputes in the backyard there will be, and there is no way to suppress them." said the eldest lady.
"If my husband truly loves me, he will definitely protect me. If my mother-in-law truly cares about her son, she will treat her daughter-in-law well if she sees that her son likes her..."
"There are very few mothers-in-law who understand the big picture. Most of them are jealous of their daughters-in-law," said the eldest lady.
"The Regent Princess has a good reputation." Du Yan said unconvinced.
"Reputation is for outsiders to see, and we don't know what the truth is. It is said that the regent only favors the princess. Maybe all the women who are close to the regent have been taken care of by the princess. Who knows what's going on in the backyard of the mansion?" said the eldest lady.
"I still think the most important thing is that my husband is loyal and righteous."
"How do you know that Wei Ziyi is loyal and righteous?"
"Why don't you let your daughter try it?" Du Yan said with a glance.
The eldest lady then raised her head and glanced at Du Yan: "Yan'er, don't act silly."
"Have I not done enough nonsense? Such a good son-in-law must not be missed. Otherwise, if you miss this opportunity, you will never have it again. I am doing this because..." Du Yan paused, "I think mother and I are worried about this matter."
The eldest lady looked at Du Yan, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.
