There was a hint of smile in his voice, as if he was enjoying Su Huaiyue's rare panic.
After saying that, he turned around gently, took a step forward, and walked into the darkness.
Su Huaiyue stood there, watching his back gradually disappearing into the distance, feeling mixed emotions.
Only then did she realize that her cheeks were getting hot, but her heart was still beating fast.
What does Wei Che mean by this sentence?
Su Huaiyue thought about it over and over in his mind, but he was not sure about the answer he had guessed.
She is the eldest sister-in-law, how could the family...
This thought finally calmed the heat on my cheeks like cool water, and stopped the excited beating of my heart. My hands at my sides were so cold that they were numb.
Su Huaiyue clenched his fists, then took a deep breath and walked towards his room.
"Congratulations to the host for completing the mission of removing the stumbling block. You will be rewarded with 100 first aid kits!"
During the time he was busy running the restaurant, the system kept giving out rewards, but Su Huaiyue didn't care about the content of the rewards. "How much do I need to get the Muscle and Bone Strengthening Pills?"
"There are still 13 tasks left to complete the 66th mission. Please keep up the good work, host!"
“Tsk.”
Thirteen times actually.
Su Huaiyue frowned slightly. Although Wei Che's ankle had been almost healed by the spiritual spring water, his strength was still far from recovered. This muscle-building and bone-strengthening pill that could restore his strength should be a key item, otherwise it would not be so difficult to obtain.
"What's the next mission?"
"Persuade Wei Che to take Yan Shu with him and leave."
Two weeks later, in the early morning, the sun shone softly on the land of Youzhou, covering the city with a layer of golden gauze.
In the Wei family's courtyard, Wei Yunrou, wearing a light pink dress, was holding a kettle and carefully watering the flowers and plants in the yard.
She hummed a cheerful tune, a relaxed smile on her face, completely unaware of the impending changes.
Suddenly, the sound of hurried horse hooves came from afar, breaking the tranquility of the courtyard.
Wei Yunrou suddenly raised her head and saw a man in black clothes with a long sword on his waist riding a vigorous black horse, rushing towards the gate of the Wei family at lightning speed.
Behind the man, a bright yellow flag fluttered in the wind, shining brightly in the sun.
Wei Yunrou's eyes widened instantly, and the kettle in her hand fell to the ground with a clang, spilling water all over the floor.
A strong premonition arose in her heart that this must be news from the capital.
She didn't care about the water stains on her feet, lifted her skirt, and trotted towards Su Huaiyue's room.
Su Huaiyue was sitting in front of the dressing table at this time, quietly combing her long hair.
She looked calm, as if she had expected something like this to happen.
Hearing Wei Yunrou's hurried knocks and shouts, she frowned slightly, put down the comb in her hand, and said softly, "Come in."
Wei Yunrou pushed the door open breathlessly, rushed into the room, and said in panic, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, it's bad. There's an imperial edict from the capital. It was delivered by the emperor's personal guard. The imperial edict is golden yellow, so it must be a big deal!"
Su Huaiyue looked at her panicked look, smiled slightly, stood up, and comforted her: "Don't panic, I understand. Go wake up grandma first, I'll wash up and come over."
Wei Yunrou nodded, turned around and ran out. Su Huaiyue washed up slowly, changed into a decent set of clothes, and walked towards the front hall.
Her steps were steady and her eyes were firm, as if everything was under her control.
When Su Huaiyue arrived at the front hall, Wei Che had already received the imperial edict and was saying goodbye to the guard.
The guard saw Su Huaiyue, bowed slightly, then mounted his horse and rode away in a cloud of dust.
Wei Che looked at Su Huaiyue, his eyes full of tenderness and relief, and a bright smile unconsciously appeared on his face. That smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, warm and bright.
His steps were brisk and firm. He walked to Su Huaiyue in a few steps, handed the imperial edict to her, and said with a hint of unconcealable joy in his voice, "We can finally go home."
Those words seemed to carry a kind of magic, making the air around them cheerful.
Su Huaiyue looked calm. She stretched out her fair and slender hand and took the imperial edict steadily.
She glanced at the imperial edict lightly, without any surprise on her face.
Because she had already anticipated the arrival of this moment countless times in her mind, this imperial edict to return to the capital was the result of her careful planning and unremitting efforts, and everything was within her expectations.
Just then, Wei Yunrou hurried over supporting Old Madam Wei.
Wei Yunrou's face was filled with unconcealable eagerness and curiosity. Her eyes were fixed on the imperial edict in Su Huaiyue's hand, as if attracted by a magnet.
When she saw the bright yellow imperial edict, her eyes lit up instantly, like twinkling stars in the night sky.
She couldn't wait to let go of the hand that was supporting Madam Wei, rushed forward, and almost snatched the imperial edict from Su Huaiyue's hand, wanting to find out what was going on.
Wei Yunrou's hands trembled slightly as she carefully unfolded the imperial edict.
When she saw that the imperial edict ordered the Wei family to return to the capital and emphasized the outstanding contributions made by the Wei family to the economy of Youzhou and the stability of the people, the corners of her mouth curled up and her face bloomed with an extremely bright smile, almost bursting with laughter.
Tears of excitement flashed in her eyes, and she kept muttering to herself: "Great, we can finally go home, finally return to the capital."
Old Madam Wei could hardly hide her joy. With her hands trembling slightly, she took the imperial edict handed over by Wei Yunrou.
Her eyes were filled with emotion and relief. She looked carefully at every word on the imperial edict, and she knew in her heart that all of this was inseparable from Su Huaiyue's efforts and dedication.
She took a deep breath, turned around, and slowly bent down towards Su Huaiyue, bowing deeply. Her voice was filled with deep gratitude as she said, "Huaiyue, thank you. If it weren't for you, the Wei family wouldn't be where it is today. We will always remember everything you've done for the Wei family."
Seeing this, Su Huaiyue hurried forward, stretched out her hands to firmly support Madam Wei, and said softly: "Grandma, what are you doing? The Wei family is also my home. Everything I do is for the good of the Wei family. This is what I should do. You don't have to be so polite. We are a family and should support each other."
Her voice was gentle and firm, like a gurgling stream, flowing into Madam Wei's heart.
When everyone had left, only Su Huaiyue and Wei Che were left in the front hall.
Su Huaiyue returned the imperial edict to Wei Che and said, "Take Yan Shu with you. This was the promise we made back then."
Wei Che looked at her, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he agreed readily: "Okay, I was thinking of changing my mind, but since you said so, then take it with you."
