Chapter 2424 Extra: Meng Yunzheng's Advice
However, they are both still young, and people around them have been thinking of introducing them to another marriage.
At first, no one connected them.
Although Wei Qin is Meng Yunzheng's cousin-in-law, neither Meng Yunzheng nor Shu Yu will interfere with her love life or marriage.
She's so young, only in her early twenties. It's perfectly normal for her to find a partner at this age.
However, she rejected all the marriage proposals offered to her.
She and Song Le had been separated for five years. Now that she had found him, she wanted to rely on him and make up for the time they hadn't spent together all those years.
Therefore, after Wei Qin returned, she quickly found work in Shu Yu's workshop.
Not only that, she also rented a house at the foot of the mountain. After all, Song Le was only five years old at the time, and he didn't need to stay at the academy; he would come back every day after class.
The mother and son ate together in the house at the foot of the mountain, chatting about everything under the sun and their expectations for the future.
She had no intention of finding another one.
Chang Jiayi shared the same thought. His daughter was timid and would hide from strangers. If he remarried, Xiao'e would probably become isolated in her own world and never be able to leave.
He just wanted to take good care of his daughter. Since he worked at the academy, his daughter didn't need anyone else to look after her; she ate at the academy's canteen every day. There were only two of them at home, and he could manage everything perfectly well.
Both of them were completely devoted to their children, and even though they knew each other, they didn't have any other thoughts about each other.
But some feelings are subtly elevated through the daily interactions.
Wei Qin felt that Chang Jiayi was very rare. It was a grown man who took such good care of his daughter, and he was very polite and had a great demeanor.
Chang Jiayi felt that Wei Qin was a woman who was just as capable as any man. In order to expose the rebels, she was stabbed twice, yet she was still able to calmly set fire to the place and run away to hide, waiting for rescue. Her character was very resilient, and she always held onto her beliefs.
The two admired each other, but neither of them dared to confess their feelings.
They... also have children to consider.
As it turned out, Xiao Song was shrewd and had already noticed something amiss.
He went to Xiao'e to ask about her thoughts. Xiao'e naturally liked Wei Qin. Over the years, Wei Qin had been her favorite woman. She even often envied Song Le for having such a beautiful and gentle mother. Occasionally, in the middle of the night, she would fantasize about being held in Wei Qin's arms and being coaxed to sleep like a daughter.
With the support of her two children, Chang Jiayi broke through this barrier.
At the beginning of this year, he asked a matchmaker to propose marriage.
Wei Qin no longer associates with the Wei family in the capital, so the Meng family can be considered her maternal family.
Meng Yunzheng had a very good impression of Chang Jiayi; he was diligent and responsible. He had once asked him if he wanted to take the imperial examinations to become a Xiucai or Juren, as the academy could give him the opportunity to study and work at the same time.
After thinking for a long time, Chang Jiayi refused. If he were all alone, working part-time while studying would naturally be no problem.
Even Xiao'e, like other children, would try to see what would happen.
But Xiao'e was sensitive; these past few years were crucial, and if Chang Jiayi were to study and work at the same time, he would inevitably neglect his daughter. He didn't want the tragedy of the past to repeat itself, and compared to his future, Chang Jiayi clearly chose family.
Meng Yunzheng didn't force him, but told him that if he had the energy, he shouldn't put down his books. Even if he didn't take the exam, he would still be treated differently if he passed the county-level exam and became a scholar.
