"I never thought that your hymns are not inferior to mine." Wei Xuanning felt more and more that Yurong was really a treasure. The more he dug, the more surprised he felt.
Yurong shook her head: "You love me so much that you put the hymn I wrote in the letter to His Majesty. Don't do this again in the future. I can give you some advice, but if you really do this, your father will definitely scold you."
She herself had not expected that Wei Xuanning would be so bold as to present the hymn she had written.
If outsiders knew about this, they wouldn't know how to interpret it.
Wei Xuanning said, "Why do you have to be so modest? You write well, so just think of it as you feel sorry for me, okay? You know, although I write well, I always feel more relaxed when I have a good wife to help me."
Unable to bear Wei Xuanning's coquettishness, Yurong quickly agreed, "Okay, then I will write for you when I have time in the future."
"That's it. Am I the kind of petty-minded man who deliberately suppresses my wife even though I know she is quite capable?" Wei Xuanning looked at Yurong seriously and touched her face. "Besides, you are really smart. You are born smart. You can even write hymns so well. You also know how to write so that those in higher positions will like it. If I were the emperor, I would like it too."
Yurong covered his mouth and said, "Don't say that, my husband. I will be very proud if you praise me like that."
At first I thought she was afraid, but unexpectedly she was saying the opposite of what she meant. Wei Xuanning found her even more adorable.
She appears extremely weak on the outside, but extremely strong on the inside.
Soon, the emperor issued a clear decree, requiring all places to make corrections according to Wei Xuanning's "Salt Order". Lord Judu was shocked when he saw Guan Han, "Doesn't the Wei family have a close relationship with the new emperor? Why is the emperor still making changes according to what this kid drafted? What is he trying to do?"
Mrs. Quandu said, "My aunt also wrote to me and told us not to take action against the Wei family for the time being."
Now that the emperor is keeping an eye on this place, although the Shen family and the Wei family have different political views, they have not broken up but instead maintained a certain balance. If they were to break up abruptly, the Shen family would suffer revenge from the Wei family, and then both sides would suffer.
Naturally, everyone was happy with this result. Yurong felt relieved. The lady from the other side also came to greet Yurong in person and brought a lot of supplements, as if they really had a good relationship.
Mrs. Leng was now embarrassed. Not only did Mrs. Quandu no longer mention letting her daughter Lingyue marry into the Shen family, she even ignored her. That would have been fine, because Wei Xuanning was her husband's superior. People knew that the Leng family had embarrassed Yang Yurong, and it was said that they had also embarrassed Prefect Leng several times.
Now she is caught between a rock and a hard place, not even a human being.
She, who had never liked dealing with people, stayed at home even less and even stopped participating in the usual social activities in Qingzhou.
Yurong found it funny: "She didn't come out after such a small setback. This is really something. She still wants to embarrass others. That's it. I suggest she stay at home and never go out again."
"Grandma, there's a letter from our eldest daughter." Li Rui came in from outside, happily holding a few stacks of letters.
It was necessary to maintain relationships with the husband's family. In her letters to Old Madam Wei, Yurong kept praising Wei Xuanning, and asked about Chen's well-being. As for her sister-in-law Yanjun, she wrote about her travel experiences and gave her some exquisite little gifts.
She opened it and saw that this little girl Yanjun had written a lot, but there was no mention of Zhou Ziying giving birth. According to the date, she should be giving birth soon in the next few days.
At this time, Zhou Ziying was in the process of launching the movement, and Madam Wei was in charge personally. Screams and the sound of a middle-aged woman could be heard from inside from time to time.
"Madam, let me help you sit in the side room. I just asked Grandma Weng, and she said this won't be a quick matter." Mrs. Chen advised Madam Wei.
After all, the old lady is old, how could she accompany them through it all? Moreover, she just went in to check and found that her sister-in-law’s water hadn’t even broken, so there was no way she was in that much pain.
She knew that this was Zhou's first time giving birth, but wasn't it heartbreaking to see her giving birth to a child so suddenly?
You should conserve your energy now and use it when the birth really comes.
"No need. I'll stay here. She is young and has no mother by her side. I'll wait." Old Madam Wei always felt that the family was too poor with only Wei Xuanning as their son. If Zhou could give birth to another son, Xuanning would have help.
This home will eventually be handed over to the next generation.
Beads of sweat appeared on Zhou Ziying's forehead. The beads of sweat made her feel very unbearable. She only felt relieved when she heard at the door that Madam Wei was waiting for her.
It seems that Madam Wei still cares about the child in her belly. This is enough. When Wei Xuanning comes back, her child will be able to speak. This time she must keep the child by her side and let the whole family love her son. He will not be a vassal of others, nor will he be alienated from her.
The baby took about half a day to be born finally. Fortunately, the baby was fine and could still cry loudly.
Only then did Zhou Ziying feel relieved.
The whole Wei family was beaming with joy. Even Mrs. Chen said to her daughter, "That's great. You have a younger brother. Our Wei family is more prosperous now."
Wei Yanjun said, "I am happy, but I want to see my sister-in-law give birth to a nephew. She didn't forget me when she went to Qingzhou and gave me a lot of good things. She always thinks of me, and I hope she is well."
Hearing her mention Yurong, Chen also missed her very much. "When your sister-in-law was here, we talked and ate together. Now that she is gone, we are the ones who are lonely."
Although Chen was older than Zhou, she still had to call Zhou "elder sister-in-law". Moreover, she always felt that Zhou was not as close to her and Yanjun as Yurong. Yurong would often let them touch her belly and let Yanjun talk to the baby in her belly, but Zhou Ziying seemed to be on guard against them, fearing that she would take her child.
Little did she know that if she really wanted a child, there were plenty of people in the clan who could adopt her, so there was no need to do this.
Although the old lady had mentioned this, she had never thought about it this way. Xuan Ning was a child she had watched grow up since he was a child, and he was very filial to her. It would be good to have Xuan Ning in the future.
Besides, Xuan Ning's wife Yurong was also so good. The piece of paper was filled with his thoughts about her, which made her cry just by looking at it.
Obviously, she was pregnant and had to travel long distances, but she only wrote about some interesting things about her pregnancy and never said how hard it was for her in order to win their sympathy.
Chen is honest but not stupid. She knows what it means to truly care about others. Yurong is such a good girl. She really treats people with sincerity, and she hopes that Yurong will be well.
It would be great to wait for her to come back and then have some snacks and talk together.
