"Father! Father!"

Xiao Duye came to the imperial study angrily.

He first bowed to Emperor Jingxuan, and then started to complain about the Wei family: "Father, you will not believe who I just ran into on the street! It was Wei Xu! Wei Xu is back from southern Xinjiang! And Wei Chen! Wei Qing! Wei Yan! They are not dead!

"The people of the whole city are welcoming them! They didn't even dismount to salute when they saw me, your son!"

The young eunuch had already reported the news that the Wei family had returned alive, and even reported that they had forced the guards on the city tower to open the city gate.

The Wei family's attitude can be described as arrogant.

However, Emperor Jingxuan did not expect that the Wei family would become so arrogant that it would overpower the royal family.

"Father?"

Seeing that Emperor Jingxuan didn't speak, Xiao Duye was somewhat puzzled.

Emperor Jingxuan picked up a memorial and said, "I understand. You should leave first. Wei Xu and his son were the heroes of the Battle of Shattering the Northern Pass. They have made great contributions. It is not a big mistake not to pay respect to you."

Xiao Duye was dissatisfied: "Father, they don't take me seriously, why are you still speaking for them?"

Eunuch Fu calmly took the brush that Emperor Jingxuan dropped and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is kind-hearted and tolerant. When the people sing praises to the Wei family, they will surely praise your Majesty for his kindness and virtue."

Xiao Duye snorted, "What do you mean by claiming great merit? I think they just want to shock the emperor! Father, don't you think it's strange? Didn't Wei Ting's brothers die in the war? Even their bodies were brought back. Did Wei Chen and the others crawl out of their coffins?"

Emperor Jingxuan seemed to be thinking about something. - Wei Xu's return with his son caused a sensation in almost half of the city.

Five years ago, members of the Wei family, young and old, died in battle one after another. Wei Ting, as the top scholar, went north to fight against the Yan army.

When he returned to Beijing, he brought back the coffins of Wu'an Jun and others.

I still remember the wailing sounds on the long street back then, which shook the heaven and earth.

This time, the people burst into tears again, but it was no longer out of despair and grief, but deep sorrow and excitement.

The Wei family has paid too much for the Great Zhou.

"Where are the Third Young Master, the Fourth Young Master, and the Fifth Young Master?"

Some people asked while crying.

Yes, the eldest, second and sixth sons are all back, so the other three can come back too, right? "The fourth son loves Cuju the most. Once when we ran into him in the suburbs, he even played Cuju with us! He was not arrogant at all!"

"The Third Young Master always went to the Zhou Ji store next door to my house to buy meat buns. I saw him several times. Later I learned that it was his wife's favorite!"

"And the Fifth Young Master, he loves to drink the Huadiao from Jiuxiangju. Every time he buys wine for Wu Anjun, he will secretly taste it, but when the store owner invites him to drink, he refuses."

When people mentioned the past of the young masters, they talked about it with great relish, as if it happened just yesterday.

Wei Xu held back the pain in his throat and whispered, "Sanlang, Silang, and Wulang will not come back." -Night fell.

The Wei family had just finished dinner.

Old Lady Wei had no appetite and ate only two bites and stopped eating.

She lay on the bed, tossing and turning.

Madam Li brought over a bowl of Tremella soup and said, "Please have a couple more bites."

Old Lady Wei sighed, "I can't eat any more."

Matron Li asked, "Are you worried about the Master and the Young Master?"

Old Lady Wei complained: "I have been in Southern Xinjiang for so long, but no one has brought back any news."

The older ones just left and took Wan'er and a few younger ones with them.

Without her precious great-grandson to play with, Old Lady Wei was unhappy! Of course, Old Lady Wei was most worried about Wei Xu.

She wanted to get news about her son as soon as possible, but she was afraid it would be bad news.

"You're sweating." Nanny Li put down the Tremella soup and took a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off Old Madam Wei.

Old Lady Wei covered her chest and said, "I've been feeling anxious since this morning. Do you think something is going to happen?"

Madam Li advised, "You just like to scare yourself."

"I'm just afraid. I'm just afraid that something might happen..."

Old Madam Wei had never been so panicked before. Before she could finish her next words, she passed away.

Nanny Li said hurriedly, "Okay, okay, let's not think about it. If you can't sleep, I'll go get the three young ladies to play mahjong with you."

Just as he finished speaking, a servant screamed outside the yard: "Old Madam! They're back! The young master and the others are back!"

Old Madam Wei was a very particular person, but at this moment she didn't even bother to comb her hair, wore one less shoe, threw away her walking stick, and walked out in a hurry.

Old Lady Wei walked too fast and slipped when she stepped over the threshold.

Just as she was about to fall down the stairs, a tall figure leaped up from the horse's back and rushed over to support Old Lady Wei.

Old Lady Wei looked at the familiar golden armor on the other person's arm, her expression was startled, and her eyes instantly became moist.

Wei Xu choked up and said, "Mother, my son is back."

Old Lady Wei looked at the face she had been thinking about day and night, and suddenly burst into tears out of grievance.

She hit him with her fist: "Why did you come back just now... Why did you come back just now..."

When her grandchildren came home, she did not cry in public, but swallowed all her tears.

However, in front of her son, she finally couldn't hold it anymore.

She cried like a child, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances and sadness she had experienced over the past five years.

However, as she cried, the style of painting changed.

She grabbed her son's cape and wiped her nose: "Woo woo...you didn't even tell me you were back...I haven't prepared anything yet...at least use three bottles of Hedinghong..."

Wei Xu, who was half heartbroken, said: "..."

Wei Xu’s return was a huge surprise, but it was far from the only surprise.

"Mom, look."

Wei Xu gestured to Old Lady Wei.

Old Lady Wei looked in the direction he turned his head.

She saw the eldest brother, the sixth brother, the seventh brother, who were also wearing armor and riding war horses, and...

Second son? ! "Grandmother." Wei Qing got off his horse and walked towards the old lady Wei step by step.

Old Madam Wei was completely stunned.

"Qing'er...is your leg...ok?"

One of the purposes of going to southern Xinjiang was to find medicine for Wei Qing.

But before leaving, Su Xiaoxiao also said that it was just to cure the cold poison in Wei Qing's body, and it was still uncertain to what extent he could recover and whether he could stand up again.

Wei Qing said in a gentle voice: "Yes, Grandmother, Qing'er has recovered."

Old Madam Wei was so excited.

What good day is today?

My son is back safely and my grandson’s leg has recovered!

Wei Liulang was also very excited. He wiped away his tears, jumped off his horse and threw himself into the arms of Old Lady Wei.

"grandmother--"

He wants to act coquettishly too!

Old Lady Wei pushed him away expressionlessly: "Go away."

Wei Liulang, who suddenly fell out of favor: "..."

Chen, Lan and Jiang also heard the noise in the mansion and came to the door.

"father?"

The three of them said in unison.

Wei Xu nodded gently, feeling guilty and heartbroken: "I'm sorry for making you suffer."

The other side.

Mrs. Wei stood quietly under the big tree, looking at him from afar.

He seemed to want to see her, but was afraid to go forward.

Wei Xu seemed to sense something and looked up at her.

My dears, please give me some guaranteed monthly tickets, thank you.
