Chapter 23



Wei Hanzhang couldn't respond. She was really not good at comforting people. Besides, the incident had not happened to her, so whatever she said was just easy talk.

Seeing that she was silent, Wei Hanyu held her hand and said sadly: "If you, Ranran, encountered this, would you accept your fate?"

Her hands were cold and thin. Wei Hanzhang frowned and comforted her softly, "I only know that as long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. You are wasting your body by not eating or drinking. It is useless except making your relatives worry."

"You asked me what I would do if I encountered this situation. I will tell you that I will take good care of my body. If I really go to Yuezhou, I will try my best to live a good life."

Wei Hanzhang's tone slowed down slightly: "The family has already made a decision. Since things cannot be changed, we can only make our lives better. There is no point in complaining about the world..."

Before she finished her words, Wei Hanyu interrupted her excitedly: "It's not you who married far away in the wild land, you said it so easily... I was told to accept my fate, you also told me to accept my fate, I did nothing wrong, why should I accept my fate..."

She burst into tears and complained, "If it wasn't for Sister Xia Shuang's face, why would Miss Shen push me into this? It's all Sister Shuang's fault. She's the one who ruined me!"

"How can you blame Sixth Sister?"

Wei Hanzhang was a little displeased when she saw her putting the blame on Wei Hanshuang, but she cried so miserably that she slowed down her tone: "No one in the family wants you to get into trouble. It's too late to say anything now. Sister Yu, please listen to my advice and take good care of yourself."

"You also know that Yuezhou is a remote place. If you don't take good care of your body, you will suffer a lot from the bumpy road..." She walked for half a month on her way back to Beijing from Xuzhou. Even though she was in good health, she felt uncomfortable all over.

Wei Hanyu interrupted her again, crying with tears streaming down her face, "Why should I be afraid of suffering? I have to endure all the suffering, no matter how great it is. Why should I take good care of myself and suffer abuse?"

"Sister, are you worried that Yuezhou will not treat you well?" Wei Hanyu asked in surprise, "You are a noble lady from the Marquis's Mansion, your parents and brothers are all here, and that family is just a fifth-rank official, who dares to mistreat you?"

"Don't lie to me,"

Wei Hanyu said aggrievedly: "When the news of my drowning spreads, they will abuse me because of the long distance. No one in the mansion will know about it. I would rather marry into a small family in the capital. I have parents to look up to me and no one will dare to look down on me."

"..." Wei Hanzhang didn't expect that she was really worried about this. He was silent for a moment and said, "I understand Sister Yu's worries, but I can't help you now. I can only promise that if I know that the Yuezhou family dares to humiliate you in the future, I will definitely stand up for you if I have the ability."

Wei Hanzhang took a very delicate jade lock from his neck, handed it to her, and said softly, "I haven't given you anything since I returned home. This piece of jade was carved by a master craftsman from Jiangnan, whom my grandmother had hired when I was ten years old. I have never left it all these years. I am giving it to you as a keepsake. If you have any urgent business in the future, you can use it as a token of love when you return to Beijing to look for me."

Wei Hanzhang is not married yet and is just the ninth girl in the backyard of the Marquis's Mansion. But once she gets married, she will be the mistress of the eldest house in the Gu family.

Few people knew that the Gu family had been transferred back to the capital, but even if she was just the eldest daughter-in-law of the governor of Xuzhou, it was enough to make the governor of Yuezhou a little wary.

Wei Hanyu's biological father was idle at home and had no official position. When Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Wei Ping passed away one day and the title was passed on to the prince, the family would inevitably be divided. By then, the fourth branch would have no official position except for a small amount of property.

In comparison, Wei Hanzhang's promise seems even more precious.

Wei Hanyu was not a fool. She clenched the jade lock in her hand and said with tears in her eyes, "I married such a bad man. I'm afraid my sisters will become increasingly distant from me. Ranran, I will write to you when I arrive in Yuezhou. If anything happens, you must remember to collect my body."

"..."Wei Hanzhang was giving her a headache. In her opinion, this was almost like a dangerous place.

A fifth-rank official's family could marry into a marquis's mansion, which meant they had some connections in the capital. Even if they knew about the drowning, and no longer treated the person well, they wouldn't kill him.

Even if the Marquis's Mansion does not value a girl, it does not mean that she can allow her husband's family to harm her. Unless the family really is confused, her life should not be in danger.

Wei Hanzhang calmed himself down and patiently said some words of comfort to his cousin who was not much older than him.

Perhaps the consolation of her peers was more useful, or perhaps the jade lock and Wei Hanzhang's promise gave her a glimmer of confidence. In short, Wei Hanyu was willing to go into the water.

After drinking a cup of tea, she had a small bowl of shredded chicken porridge. After all, she was young and had been well taken care of since childhood, and her cheeks visibly regained their color.

When Jiang came in, she saw her daughter's appearance and couldn't help but hit her twice, "My dear, you finally stopped torturing me."

Wei Hanzhang felt a little awkward standing aside, so he simply left quietly to let them talk properly.

…………

Two days passed in a flash. On the day of Wei Hanyu's wedding, the main gate of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion was not opened, and the carriage she rode in left through the side door.

A total of three carriages, six maids and four servants were all her dowry.

There was no ceremony or music, no red hangings, and no guests. The eighth daughter of the Marquis's Mansion got married.

The only ones who came to see her off were her aunts and sisters from other families.

Liu sent someone to deliver a set of pure gold head ornaments as a dowry for her illegitimate granddaughter, but Wei Ping, the biological grandfather, did not show up.

Watching the carriage go away, Wei Hanzhang felt a little sad.

Jiang patted her daughter on the back and said, "If you feel bored, go and play with your sixth sister for a while. Her wedding will be here soon."

It is now the beginning of May, and in less than two months, it will be Wei Hanshuang's turn to get married.

The marriage of the Crown Prince's daughter naturally cannot be rushed, and everyone in the Marquis's Mansion began to get busy a few days ago.

Wei Hanshuang herself was also detained in the room to embroider her wedding dress.

Seeing her sister coming, she stopped sewing and said with a smile: "You naughty monkey can't stay at home anymore, right?"

"The one who knows me best is Sister Shuang," Wei Hanzhang was not embarrassed. She strode over and sat beside Wei Hanshuang, saying in a delicate voice, "Grandma won't let me go out. I'm really bored."

Wei Hanshuang said, "I will go to the Marriage Temple to burn incense in two days. You can go with me."

Wei Hanzhang was naturally willing to go out, but...

She hesitated, "Will grandma disagree?"

"There is a story about our Wei family's righteous Ninth Miss. The story has been spreading in the capital these days. With your reputation, there is no need to keep you at home."

Wei Hanshuang smiled gently and said, "Not to mention grandma, I'm afraid even grandpa would hope that you would go out more often to make a name for our family."
