Chapter 59. A Little Piece of Joy (Part 1) A Little Piece of Joy



As a transport envoy, he was responsible for not only salt tax, but also food and so on. This was a new job for Wei Xuanning, and he had to spend most of his time on it, so he came back later and later every day.

In the eyes of the servants, the eldest lady is knowledgeable and interesting. When the eldest master is busy, the eldest lady will definitely be considerate.

Unexpectedly, Yurong said to Lirui, "My stomach hurts a little. Please call the eldest master back. He is getting busier day by day, but things can't be done overnight."

Li Rui was stunned for a moment. She didn't notice what was wrong with the eldest grandmother's stomach, but it was necessary to ask the eldest son to come back.

But she didn't dare to disobey, because the grandma was really not a pushover. Everyone here served her with trepidation, and if there was any mistake, the grandma would not show mercy.

When Li Rui went to the study to deliver the message, she felt a little nervous. She never expected that as soon as she finished speaking, the eldest master would fly back like an arrow from a bow. She thought that she almost acted like a villain in vain.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Is your stomach uncomfortable?" Wei Xuanning asked Yurong with concern.

"I want you to come back because I miss you." Yurong smiled.

Wei Xuanning felt helpless. Yurong was good in every way except that she was too clingy.

But Yurong didn't want to be so sensible. She knew that small things can make people happy, and she couldn't be too considerate or virtuous. Besides, she really missed Wei Xuanning. She took his hand and put it on her belly, "When you are not at home, I always miss you."

"I know, I miss you too. I will make time to visit you often in the future." Wei Xuanning assured her.

Yurong couldn't help but ask him, "Is Gao Shanru the same as me?"

"No, no, she would never be like this. She is always strong and never afraid of these. When my marriage was blocked and I was forced to marry Princess Xin'an, she always asked her father to help me. You also know that her father Gao Xiang offended Princess Xin'an because he overthrew the deposed prince. That's why she took refuge in my house." Wei Xuanning once thought that he would definitely marry Gao Shanru. Too many people had worked hard for this marriage, but in the end it didn't work out.

He couldn't help but ask Yurong: "Why are you asking these questions all of a sudden?"

Yurong raised her eyebrows, "Nothing, I just wanted to ask."

She hugged him and said, "You don't have to work so hard. The salt tax will only be paid in March next year. Why bother?"

"But I don't quite understand it. I have to figure it out, so I'm working in the study. I know I've neglected you these days." Men are always out and about, and sometimes they're so busy with important things that they can't take care of their wives.

Yurong said, "That's right. It's my fault. I made some snacks today. You can take a rest for a while. You are a human being and you don't have three heads and six arms. You can take a rest if I ask you to."

She even took the initiative to press his temples, and slowly, he really fell asleep.

These days in Qingzhou have been like boiling wax. Who could stand it? Even Yurong felt distressed. She knew that he was doing the right thing, but he couldn't waste his energy.

Especially since Wei Xuanning died young in his previous life, she was afraid that he would overdraw his body.

So far, Yurong is still very satisfied with Wei Xuanning, so she should take better care of his health and put everything else aside.

"You guys go out and don't disturb the eldest master's sleep." Yurong stayed in the back room. It would be totally not worth it if she exhausted her husband's body for just a small place like Qingzhou.

Mr. Xu and a few others were still in the study. Seeing that Wei Xuanning had not arrived yet, Zhu Luo told them to leave first, and then they left.

One of the staff members went to Mr. Xu and complained: "The eldest son is being dragged down by his wife."

"Silence, sir, what you are saying may be that the eldest son has always respected the eldest lady, so don't say that. Besides, the eldest son has been working non-stop for half a month, and he often stays in the study or comes home late, so the eldest lady may have something to do."

Xu Gong stroked his beard and said, "I am tired too. Let me take a rest first."

Among all the Yang daughters, probably the wisdom lies in the Empress and the eldest grandmother. Not to mention the Empress, the eldest grandmother has protected the eldest son a lot along the way and even saved his life from danger.

"Grandma, let me massage your legs. Your legs are getting more swollen." Bitao felt sorry for Yurong.

Yu Rong whispered, "Then keep your voice down, don't disturb the eldest master, he has been having trouble sleeping lately, and it's hard for him to fall asleep."

"Yes." Bi Tao replied, but she looked around again, making sure no one was around before she said, "We all know that you are doing this for the eldest master, but if others see you doing this, it will be disadvantageous to you, as they may think that you..."

Yurong found it funny: "What do you think of me? Do you think I'm being hypocritical?" She fiddled with her nails and couldn't help laughing again, "That shows that the eldest master cares about me. He came as soon as I called him."

There are many women who are gentle, considerate and silently giving, but Yurong does not want to be such a person.

Bitao doesn't understand.

She then explained to Bi Tao, "It's only been a few days since I came here. Although the eldest son is the eldest son of the Wei family, and the whole family's hopes are on him, he is not made of iron. How can he not need to rest? If I persuade him to rest, he may not really listen. But if I say that I am sick, he will definitely ignore it."

"First, it's to let him have a good rest. Second, it's because he's a man. You can't be too submissive." Yurong tapped Bitao's forehead.

Bi Tao was also a smart person, she understood it immediately. If she obeyed the man in everything, the man would soon become indifferent to her. Occasionally, she would make a fuss about her emotions, which would actually promote their relationship.

After her legs were rubbed until they were relaxed, Yurong went into the inner room to make tea. Suddenly, the room was filled with the aroma of tea and only the sound of running water could be heard, as if it was singing a lullaby to Wei Xuanning.

Wei Xuanning slept for a long time. When he woke up, it was very quiet outside and he could not hear any sound. He sat up immediately and found his wife coming in with a tray.

He had just woken up and his throat was a little hoarse, and just in time the hot tea was handed to his mouth.

Well, it was barley tea again. The water temperature was neither hot nor cold, just right. He looked at Yurong suspiciously, "Could it be that you were watching the tea while I was sleeping? Otherwise, how could it be just right?"

Yurong nodded: "Of course, how about it, do you feel refreshed now? Do you feel particularly good after a good sleep?"

"Yes." Wei Xuanning felt that his eyelids were not so heavy anymore, and he felt much more comfortable. Especially after drinking tea, he felt more energetic.

She smiled and said, "That's it. You are not made of iron. You can be busy, but you also have to take care of your health."

Wei Xuanning said indifferently: "I have been practicing martial arts for many years, and I am tall and strong. I know you have good intentions, but you don't have to worry about my health. I am fine. When I was a child, a fortune teller told me that I could live to be ninety-nine years old."

Yurong looked at his confident appearance and felt a little sad. Did he know that he died at the age of 29?
