Chapter 48. Soft-hearted (Second Update) Soft-hearted (Second Update)…



Tomorrow is the Flower Festival. It is the middle of spring, and all flowers are in full bloom, making it the perfect time to enjoy the view. Camellias, forsythias, and daffodils are slowly beginning to bloom. Every year, the girls look forward to this festival the most, so they can go out with their friends under the flower trees, enjoy the flowers, and have an elegant gathering. The girls pin large flowers on their temples, which is very beautiful.

The Wei family only had one eldest daughter, Wei Yanjun. She was also lively and had already made an appointment with her sisters to go out and play. Naturally, she had not forgotten Yurong. She came over and asked her, "Sister-in-law, what flowers do you like? I'll bring them back for you to wear."

She was at an age of innocence and her face was full of life.

Yurong tilted her head and said, "What kind of flower do you think is suitable for me, little aunt?"

Because she had not gone out today, a few strands of her hair fell down. With her head tilted, she looked like a girl in the prime of life. She was so beautiful that even Yanjun, who was also a woman, was stunned.

She suddenly became hesitant, "A hundred flowers are fine."

Yurong chuckled: "If that's the case, just do as you please. I'm just wearing it for fun. Thank you for thinking of me, little aunt."

"This, this is nothing." Yanjun couldn't help but say.

It was no wonder that her brother liked such a gentle and beautiful woman. Yanjun was relieved. She had almost never heard her sister-in-law get angry. She was always so considerate and looked at everyone with such a gentle gaze. This was much better than Sister Shanru. Although she also liked Sister Shanru from the Gao family, she had to admit that people liked the kind of person who could arouse their desire to protect.

Who wouldn't like such a eloquent girl? Even her mother said that she should learn from her sister-in-law.

Yurong took a pair of furry earmuffs and put them on her ears, saying, "Although it's already February, it's still cold outside. You must remember to keep warm."

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Wei Yanjun put on the earmuffs with a smile. They were furry, just like little rabbits.

Her heart seemed to be healed instantly, and she trotted out.

Bitao just came in with some snacks, a plate of cream-filled square cakes made with the Wei family's secret recipe. Yurong especially loved it and would eat a small plate of it every day when she didn't drink milk.

"Grandma, it's still hot, try it while it's still hot. The eldest master didn't eat at home today because he was afraid that he would disturb your rest in the morning."

"He's always like this, always so nice to me." Yurong couldn't help laughing.

Originally, the couple should live in separate rooms, but he took care of me and always stayed with me.

After finishing the plate of cream cake, Yurong went into the back room again and bowed three times to the statue of Guanyin given by the Crown Princess before coming out. The maids in the room were also used to it. It was natural that both men and women in the Qi Dynasty were devout Buddhists.

It was not yet time for lunch, and Yurong picked up the book to read again. Xuebai and Lirui found that the room was very quiet and did not dare to make any noise.

Suddenly, a bell rang, and the servants all panicked. Yurong stood up and said calmly, "Why are you panicking? This is a national mourning. You should quickly find some clean clothes. A national mourning must be performed for three days before it can be released. Bitao and Lirui, help me go to the old lady."

Li Rui hurriedly advised: "Grandma, it's probably chaotic outside now. What if you get bumped into when you go out?"

"It's okay. The Madam is very strict with her housekeeping. Nothing like that will happen."

Madam Wei's place was in perfect order. She had experienced many ups and downs, so this little thing had no impact on her. Seeing Yurong wearing a plain white pearl pleated skirt, Madam Wei asked hurriedly, "Why are you wearing so little?"

"I'm wearing a coat outside. I heard the funeral bell, so I came to see the old lady. Are you going to the palace?"

Madam Wei and Zhou Ziying were both first-rank officials, and they had to go to the palace to mourn. Madam Wei was fine, but Zhou Ziying was very sad. She was pregnant. Yurong also gave them a knee pad.

"Madam, please take care of yourself when you enter the palace this time." Yurong looked at her eagerly.

Zhou Ziying didn't tell Madam Yu Wei until the third month of pregnancy. Madam Yu Wei was naturally delighted, but she immediately started to cry for the deceased for three consecutive days. This was no joke.

Only then did she realize that this pregnancy was the most difficult one for her. Yang Yurong did not have to go to the palace to mourn, but she did.

How can the baby in my belly bear this?

Seeing Yurong being so considerate, Old Lady Wei's heart softened a little. "After we enter the palace, your aunt will be here to take care of us. If you need anything, just ask her. My dear child, there must not be any mishap with this pregnancy."

"Yes." Yurong listened obediently.

Soon after, Madam Wei and Zhou Ziying entered the palace, but Wei Yanjun ran back. Several flowers in her basket had fallen out, and she looked a little panicked.

"Sister-in-law, I heard that His Majesty died..."

Yurong soothed her, "Yanjun, go down and rest first. The elders have already entered the palace. Your mother is assigning servants to close the door. The bigger the event, the more we need to stay calm."

Her calm look affected Wei Yanjun, who held Yurong's hand and asked, "Can I go to my sister-in-law's place?"

"Can."

Because Wei Yanjun was with Yurong, Chen came over after finishing her work. Seeing Yanjun reading to Yurong's belly, she couldn't help laughing, "I wonder if this child can hear in the belly. If he can, he will be a child prodigy when he is born."

"Auntie, please sit down. It's a mess outside. You've been busy for a long time. Let me sift the tea for you."

Chen waved her hands quickly, "I want you to come here, please sit down."

Yanjun couldn't help but say, "Sister-in-law is so nice."

"I just realized how nice my sister-in-law is." Yurong couldn't help laughing. She was a first-rate tea-making expert. She took out the tea set and gave it to the mother and son. Chen felt completely refreshed.

It was almost dark before Chen and her son left.

Chen didn't notice how well organized Wutong Garden was when she was there, but as soon as she came out, she felt a little uneasy and she couldn't help shaking her head.

This day was destined to be a sleepless night. The Emperor of Daqi died, the Crown Princess was nearly kidnapped and murdered, and security was heightened inside and outside the palace. However, Yurong slept soundly that night, as if she knew nothing.

Wei Xuanning came back at night. Today was a day of spring thunder. He was afraid that if he came back too late, Yurong would not be able to sleep. However, he never thought that she would sleep so peacefully. He was also afraid of waking her up, so he planned to sleep in the second room. Unexpectedly, Yurong sat up at this time.

She said dazedly, "Why did you come back so late? You came back but didn't go to bed."

"Did I wake you up?" Wei Xuanning felt a little embarrassed.

"Nothing. I was worried about you. It's great that you're back. I thought you would come back before Grandmother and the First Lady, but I didn't expect you to come back so late."

She took the initiative to get out of bed and undress him, and she was already very familiar with it. Thinking of the scene when her hands were trembling when she dressed him for the first time, Wei Xuanning couldn't help but pinch her hand.

Yurong chuckled, "We can't do anything else now. We two can live together because the elders have turned a blind eye to our affairs. If we continue to cause trouble, it won't do."

Wei Xuanning said helplessly: "How dare I do this? The child in my belly will blame me for squeezing him together."

"He's used to telling jokes." Yurong said coquettishly.

Wei Xuanning's heart softened suddenly, and he hugged her, "Yurong, no matter what happens in the future, you will always be my wife, Wei Xuanning."

Yurong was confused. "Why are you talking about this all of a sudden? I am your wife, of course. How can this be fake?"

"It's settled anyway." He said with a firm look.

Yurong coaxed her like a child, "I know."

Wei Xuanning said casually, "The emperor passed away today, but the palace must have kept the death a secret and announced it after the New Year. All preparations are complete. But the Crown Princess was assassinated."

"The Crown Princess was assassinated?" Yurong was very surprised.

"Yes, but fortunately your father was there, so we escaped." Wei Xuanning's tone was full of relief.

Yu Rong smiled and said, "My father has been by the Crown Princess's side for many years and has dealt with countless incidents. He once saved the Crown Prince, King Jiangxia. Don't look at him as if he is honest and straightforward. In fact, he is protecting the Crown Princess, and no one can surpass him. This is why the Crown Princess has given my family enough respect. When I broke off the engagement with the Zhang family, it was also thanks to her. I always hope that she can live longer so that she can take care of our family more."

She looked like she was not worried about the Crown Princess at all and trusted Yang Zhao very much.

Yes, the situation tonight was so dangerous, but Yang Zhao and his men managed to escape. This shows that we cannot underestimate the Crown Princess.

After changing into pajamas, Wei Xuanning accompanied Yurong to sleep. He whispered in her ear, "Go to sleep quickly. The Crown Princess will be fine and will live a long life."

Yurong let out a moan, and rolled into Wei Xuanning's arms.

When Yurong woke up, her sister-in-law Yanjun came and brought a piece of news, "The man who assassinated the Crown Princess has been caught. Sister-in-law, you may not know it yet. It was Brother Wei who caught him. He is my brother's good friend and he is doing very well in the Five Armies Commandery. Crown Prince, the new emperor may want to promote him."

"That's great." Yurong roughly remembered this time in her previous life. Because of the rebellion, but also because of someone in the palace adding fuel to the fire, the Crown Princess was almost hurt. Now she was caught so quickly.

It seems that Wei Xuanning has softened her heart again. Could it be that she really meant what she said yesterday?

They are political enemies, so even if they have to kill each other, it is justified. Why bother with being a mother-in-law? Yurong doesn't care about these things at all. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. If you want the supreme position, you have to be ruthless.

Well, now that he has given up, he will always think of other ways.

Yurong sometimes felt that she had no virtue. She was clearly just pretending sometimes, but he actually thought she was sincere. It seemed that she had not felt such complete and passionate love for a long time.

Having lived in intrigues and deceptions for too long, she always seems to be iron-blooded and iron-fisted, while Wei Xuanning is always gentle to her. Exchanging interests is easy to say, but how can she repay her true love?
