Chapter 386: The eldest sister-in-law supports the family (12)
With two men of the Wei family passing away in succession, the powerful people in Dongdu were all speculating that the Wei family was going to fall into ruin. As for Wei Yin, a bastard, they did not take him seriously. But it was this bastard who later subverted their entire government.
"Sister-in-law, you have not eaten, drunk or slept for three days and three nights. If you continue like this, your body will not be able to bear it." Wei Yin stood behind her, his beautiful peach blossom eyes still swollen. In this sad moment, he was also sad. When Wei Yang was dying, he realized how deep his love for this brother was.
Because his father Wei Yang committed suicide in Dongdu prison and there was a confession as evidence, the facts of treason were complete. Emperor Chunde ordered the confiscation of the Wei family's house and all property, and mercifully did not implicate other people in the Wei family. It sounds like mercy, but in reality... Although he was young, he also understood that there were some things that his father Wei Yang would not do. It was also because of his young age that even if he knew that his father Wei Yang was wronged, what could he do? In just a few days, several of the Wei family's sons had the idea of leaving. Indeed, all the Wei family's property was confiscated, and the Wei family only had him, a concubine, and a widowed sister-in-law. In the eyes of others, no one could support this family. It was normal to leave. But he still felt so sad.
"Have you eaten?" Shi Yi turned his head to look at him, his eyes full of red bloodshot after staying up all night.
Wei Yin was still a little stunned, and he suspected that the voice he just heard was an illusion.
Yue'er, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly pushed his arm and motioned him to speak.
These days, the young lady didn't close her eyes, but Yue'er didn't dare to be willful. In this family, she and the young lady are the closest. If she falls, the young lady will have no one to rely on in this family. Therefore, she forced herself to go to bed every night, and came out early the next day to arrange food for the young lady and the second son, and to arrange the interpersonal relationships in the mansion.
She also hoped that the young lady would get out of grief as soon as possible, but she also vaguely understood how important the eldest son was to the young lady. How great was the impact that the eldest son had on the young lady so early in the morning! Therefore, she could only pin her hopes on the young lady herself, hoping that she could get out of it quickly.
Now, finally hearing the young lady speak, Yue'er's heart was so surging. But she didn't say a word more, all she wanted to say was in the hot tears in her eyes.
"I asked you if you had eaten." Shi Yi wiped away his tears, stood up and walked towards Wei Yin.
In the end, he was the only one left in the entire Wei family. He was a destined pride, and her fate to appear here was just to help him go further and more steadily.
Wei Yin bit his lower lip hard, not daring to make a sound. His eyes were almost glued to her, and tears kept falling like beads.
"Alas, why are you crying." Shi Yi took the little boy into his arms, and his sighing tone was gentle and reminded people of the catkins in spring.
Wei Yin couldn't hold it in any longer and cried bitterly in her arms.
During these three days, Shi Yi could have directly refused to eat, drink or sleep. But he didn't dare to do that. He secretly peeked in at the door every day and couldn't sleep well at night. He was not afraid that the servants in the mansion would leave, but he was afraid that his sister-in-law would abandon him and leave. He didn't dare to tell anyone about the panic in his heart. In fact, he was a nine-year-old child, who could he tell these words to? But now the embrace was so warm and so tolerant that he didn't have to worry about it anymore.
"I won't leave. Our Wei Yin will become a very powerful person in the future." Shi Yi's hand froze in the air for a while, and finally gently rested on the boy's thin back.
Wei Yin didn't expect that she had such trust in him. At the age of nine, surprise and shock were intertwined in his heart, so he couldn't say a word.
"Don't believe in yourself?" He heard his sister-in-law, who was only a few years older than him, said in a brisk tone: "In the future, you can help your father clear his grievances, revive the Wei family, and realize your personal value."
"Can I really do it?" Wei Yin looked at the girl with a haggard look but full of hope in her eyes, and asked nervously.
"Of course. Sister-in-law will not make a mistake." Shi Yi pinched his face, and it was obviously not as fat as before.
In fact, in just a few days, he has changed visibly with the naked eye. He is much thinner than before. The most obvious change is in his eyes. The original pair of peach blossom eyes, which looks good when viewed alone, is a bit abrupt when combined with the facial features, but now there is some desire in his eyes, making these peach blossom eyes look much more resolute, and beginning to have the support of "God". She can fully imagine what kind of person he will grow into in the future.
No one has ever affirmed himself like this. Wei Yin couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. But the phrase "A gentleman dies for his confidant" kept echoing in his mind. He thought that no matter what, even if he risked his life, he must stand out, support this family, and realize what the eldest sister-in-law said!
"Okay, it's time to eat." Yue'er wiped away her tears and walked up to remind the two.
The young lady is in high spirits, and the second young master is also motivated. It's very good. As for her, no matter what the young lady's future is, she will never leave. As early as when the young lady asked her for a contract to sell her body, she made up her mind that she would never do anything to let the young lady down in her life.
"Let's go together." Shi Yi's hand rested heavily on the boy's shoulder, and his tone was heavy, "The burden will fall on you in the future."
Wei Yin smiled brightly, "Wei Yin, I will do my best."
This family has not collapsed with the eldest sister-in-law. He, Wei Yin, would not let his eldest sister-in-law suffer with him even if he tried his best. Although he is not strong enough now, he has to ask the heavens for help. As long as he doesn't die, he will always stand out.
His smile actually dazzled Yue'er's eyes. Yue'er silently fell behind the two of them and lowered her head even lower.
After dinner, Shi Yi gathered all the servants in the house.
After everyone was gathered, she didn't say anything, but distributed a certain amount of silver to each servant. Of course, all this silver came from her own dowry subsidy.
The servants tightly grasped the purses in their hands, not daring to look up at her, let alone the second son Wei Yin who was standing beside them. Everyone buried their heads in their chests, wishing they could turn into ostriches now.
These servants are all the servants of the Wei family. When the Wei family was prosperous, they enjoyed a lot of happiness. But the current Wei family can no longer support them. People always have to think about themselves.
"The fate of master and servant will end one day. Let's part ways in peace." Shi Yi took Wei Yin's hand and walked into the house. Many of them behind them had red eyes.
Wei Yin didn't look back at all, because the most important person was already by his side.
