Speaking of his favorite granddaughter, Wei Ji rambled on endlessly, "I've raised this child as a boy since she was young. It would be great if she really was a boy. Now that Ming Lun is gone, I can rest assured and hand over the family to her..."
Wei Zhongxun felt something was amiss as he listened. He panicked and interrupted, "Brother, what are you talking about? Wu Niang and the others will be back soon. Do you remember what you told me before? You should rest and recuperate. The clan still needs us."
He was extremely panicked, and every word his elder brother said seemed to strike his soul.
"Besides, the doctor said that you just need to rest for your illness, and you will get better when Wu Niang and the others come back with the medicine." Wei Zhongxun was flustered and thought that his elder brother was just sick and confused.

Ever since the clan leader fell ill, Wei Zhongxun's temper has become worse day by day, causing everyone in the fort to speak in whispers.
Everyone was worried about the patriarch's illness. They didn't dare to disturb the patriarch's rest, so they could only go to ask the medical officer. After a few days, the threshold of the medical officer's residence was almost broken down.
As soon as the person Wu Bo sent to investigate reached the gate, the guards on the city wall spotted a long procession of people pushing grain carts in the distance, braving the wind and snow. They exclaimed in surprise, "It's the girl and the commanders who have returned!"
