Xie Ling and Gu Wei walked to the intersection and parted ways.
Gu Wei went to find Zhou Ci Sui to see the family he introduced.
Xie Ling went to find Wei Linglong.
Wei Linglong ran away after the wedding, and the Gu family only found her today.
When Xie Ling entered Wei Linglong's yard, Wei Linglong was climbing over the wall.
Half of the girl's body was lying on the wall, swaying in the air and about to fall. Xie Ling quickly used his Qinggong skills to fly up and bring her down.
After landing, Wei Linglong grabbed her small bag, pouted and cried, "Sister, please help me! If Wei Wuji sees me, he will definitely catch me back! Please help me escape!"
Before Xie Ling could say anything, a clear young man's voice came from outside the house, containing deep helplessness.
"Who said I was going to take you back?"
"ah!"
Wei Linglong let out a scream and hid behind Xie Ling, grabbing her sleeves and trembling.
Wei Wuji felt distressed and amused. He lifted Wei Linglong by the collar and pulled her out from behind Xie Ling. He said softly, "Don't worry, Linglong. I won't take you back."
Wei Linglong covered her face, "Swear!"
Wei Wuji laughed, raised his hand to the sky, and said solemnly: "I, Wei Wuji, swear to the heavens that I will never take my sister Wei Linglong back to Wei Zhao. If I break this oath, I will be struck by lightning."
Wei Linglong then cautiously stuck her head out, but her hands were still tightly holding Xie Ling's arms.
Wei Wuji felt his heart choke when he saw this.
Linglong, are you afraid of him so much?
They are blood relatives from the same mother.
Xie Ling pointed to the stone table under the tree and said, "Sit down and talk."
Wei Linglong nodded obediently, clinging to Xie Ling tightly, and whispered: "Then why did you come to see me?"
Wei Wuji was helpless, "I am your brother, so of course I came to see you. As for your escape, I knew about it as soon as you ran away."
Wei Linglong pursed her lips and said nothing.
Xie Ling poured tea for the two of them to ease the atmosphere.
Looking at the slowly rising mist, Wei Wuji sighed, "Linglong, I'm sorry."
Wei Linglong held the teacup and blinked in confusion, "Sorry for what?"
Wei Wuji looked directly into Wei Linglong's eyes, his straight spine slightly bent, his voice hoarse: "I'm sorry, the situation was like this at the time, my brother was incompetent, so I had to sacrifice you for the marriage. Even if I find more excuses, it can't change the fact that I used you."
Wei Linglong was stunned.
My brother is such a serious person, how could he apologize to me?
While she was surprised, she felt a little more happy in her heart. She put the teacup on the table and showed a frank smile.
"Brother, I am a princess. How can I not set an example when the people and soldiers are in danger? I have never blamed you for this matter.
I ran away later because the situation was stable. If Wei Zhao still needed a princess like me to stay in Dongling as a stabilizing force, I would never leave.
What makes me angry is that you knew everything back then, and knew that the emperor's uncle was murdered by Wei Xiuyi, so why didn't you come with us?"
Wei Wuji smiled bitterly.
"If I don't stay, who will protect you and let you leave safely? Linglong, do you really think that you can leave so easily because of luck?"
Wei Linglong's eyes widened.
Wei Wuji raised his hand and touched her head, "That's good too. No matter what, I have at least protected your innocence."
As the only princess of the royal family who grew up in great pampering, Wei Linglong has been afraid of only one person since she was a child - Wei Wuji.
Wei Wuji was old-fashioned and serious. If you didn't finish your homework, you would be slapped on the palm. If you sneaked out to play, you would be made to stand in the corner when you came back.
She has always respected her brother more than loved him.
That's why she was so scared when she saw Wei Wuji at the wedding and wanted to run away immediately.
Wei Linglong's eyes turned slightly red, and she finally couldn't help but ask the question that had been weighing on her mind for more than ten years.
"Brother, I have always wanted to ask you a question. Why have you been so mean to me since we were little? You are so gentle to other people. When I was little, I always thought you hated me."
Wei Wuji's eyes were gentle, and his tone was persuasive: "You were still young at that time, and everyone doted on you. If I hadn't supervised you, you would have developed a dandy character.
Linglong, my elder brother is like a father to me. I just hope you can be a better person. Now that you have grown up, I will naturally not treat you like that. Linglong is a very good person now. You are righteous and reasonable. I am very proud of you. "
Wei Linglong looked into Wei Wuji's gentle eyes. Unconsciously, her vision gradually blurred and hot tears fell.
Wei Wuji wiped her tears helplessly.
"You're so old, but you still cry so much."
Wei Linglong hugged Wei Wuji tightly, her voice choked with sobs, "Royal brother!"
What Wei Wuji said was indeed true.
If he hadn't been suppressing me, I would have been spoiled and arrogant now.
The ice that had been pressing on her heart for more than ten years finally melted away, and Wei Linglong burst into tears.
Wei Wuji narrowed his eyes and patted Wei Linglong on the back, "Brother will be leaving tomorrow. You must listen to your sister in Sinan, understand?"
Although Wei Linglong looked reluctant, she still nodded and did not intend to go back to the palace with Wei Wuji.
Seeing that the grudge between the two siblings was finally resolved, Xie Ling was in a good mood.
Gu Wei on the other side was extremely shocked.
The Lan family is actually the Nangong family?
How come they came to Sinan?
