Chapter 392: The eldest sister-in-law supports the family (18)
Dong Helai noticed his gaze and returned a light salute.
He really looks like the child of the Wei family. Calculating the time, he has been dead for many years.
The youngest child of the Wei family should still be in Nanling to study with Chen Jishi. Chen Jishi is an old antique and a rigid person. If he doesn't teach his child to be what he wants, he will definitely not let him go.
Wait...some vague thoughts came to his mind.
Gu Changchang looked at the boy again...and suddenly stroked his beard...he underestimated him!
With just one glance, Wei Yin knew that his true identity had been known by the other party. He was not afraid, nor nervous.
Because this was the beginning of his counterattack. When the
prince died, the sons of Emperor Chunde saw an opportunity. On the surface, they were still friendly and respectful to each other, but in fact, there was a turmoil in the dark. No one would give in to anyone.
In this situation of struggle, the drowning of Dong Helai, who was once an aide to the deposed prince, did not attract much attention. Except for the cabinet minister Wei Yan. As the "Bo Le" who discovered this talent, he mourned several times after Dong Helai drowned.
Dong Helai disappeared inconspicuously in the court. Wei Yin's return attracted the attention of everyone in the court.
Nanling Chen Jishi, as his name suggests, has a broad mind and is a capable minister who can govern the country and maintain peace. Many scholars want to be his disciples and receive his guidance, but he has a strange personality and his style of doing things is unpredictable. Wei Yin, who was nine years old at the time, was accepted as his last disciple by him, which caused a stir in the court at that time. Now seven years have passed, and the young man who has returned from his studies is bound to become the object of competition among various forces.
The important officials in the court have poor memories and have long forgotten Dong Helai who once amazed them. And everyone knows that the crime of the Wei family was a power game between the former crown prince and Emperor Chunde. Shi Yi
calculated the day when Wei Yin would return home and bought him all kinds of daily necessities and school supplies. She thought she was careful enough, but she didn't expect Yue'er to be more careful than her, and even prepared his underwear.
When she learned that Dong Helai fell into the water and drowned, the first thing she thought of was to hide it from Yue'er. Who would have thought that Yue'er still knew it. But Yue'er didn't show the sadness she imagined. She was even a little surprised that Yue'er could still talk and laugh with her. It was not until she repeatedly persuaded Yue'er that Yue'er told her the truth without bothering her.
She also realized how meticulous the young man Wei Yin was.
She didn't resent his behavior. The Wei family had the closest connection with her. If Wei Yin had spoken frankly about his identity at the time, she and him would inevitably have had contact, and anyone who was interested could see the flaws in these contacts.
She had no reason to complain. When the Wei family was in trouble, Wei Yin was still young, but he had already realized that the burden on him was very heavy. He returned home after seven years of hard study, just for his ambition at the time. The Wei family was really lucky to have such an heir. In time, she believed that the Wei family would be re-established by this young man.
She also felt lucky. Yue'er and Wei Yin were the people she wanted to protect the most. Now, these two people protected, trusted and relied on each other, and even developed feelings that transcended ordinary emotions. She didn't expect it, but she was very optimistic about it.
Her mission in this life was to fulfill Wei Yang's last wish, take care of Wei Yin, and watch him establish the Wei family.
Now, she finally waited for this returning young man. She was looking forward to him doing something big!
"Sister, why hasn't this person come yet? I'll go to the door to see!" Yue'er's footsteps never stopped, pacing back and forth in front of Shi Yi. It was said that "why hasn't this person come yet", but in fact, it didn't take long to wait. But it is understandable that men and women in love always feel that time passes quickly.
As soon as she finished speaking, she had already left the room. She bumped into the person she had been thinking about. She was a little hurried, and she didn't look carefully at the face of the young man she bumped into. She hurriedly said "sorry" and wanted to continue walking out, but something happened. Her way was blocked by a young man.
"Sir, please move aside. I have something urgent to do." She continued to rush forward.
Wei Yin gently held her shoulders and joked, "Where are you going, Sister Yue'er?"
Yue'er suspected that the voice she heard might be fake. How could that person come back so quickly? She looked up in a daze, and the person she had been thinking about was the one she had been thinking about.
"Why are you so mean!" She blushed and hurried to the room.
It was an unquestionable fact that she liked him. Why did he still tease her like this? She was angry and embarrassed, and then she adjusted her pace and walked out.
This time she passed by Wei Yin, and Wei Yin did not stop her. At this moment, he had someone he wanted to see more. He had been waiting for this person for seven years.
The footsteps outside the door were steady and powerful, and it was obvious that they were not Yue'er's. Only one person had been informed of the meeting place today.
"Wei Yin?" She looked at the door and called softly.
"Sister-in-law!" Wei Yin strongly suppressed his emotions, but there were still a thousand threads of affection in the call of these two words.
"Sit down first." Shi Yi came up and looked at the boy carefully.
His whole face had grown up, with the unique elegance of the men of the Wei family. His iconic peach blossom eyes added a bit of charm, making it easy for people to ignore his age. The most noticeable thing is that his back is as straight as pine and cypress, which makes people look up to him for no reason.
When Shi Yi looked at Wei Yin, Wei Yin was also looking at his sister-in-law calmly.
He felt that she had not changed. Just like seven years ago, young and gentle, but a little more calm. This calmness is different from the old-fashioned pretense in the past, but it is a gracefulness that only women of this age have accumulated after experiencing the world.
"Sister-in-law, you haven't changed at all." He sat down as she guided, looking directly into her eyes. This was something he didn't dare to think about before.
When Wei Yin came here in disguise under the alias of Cheng Donghe, he passed by Yunyi Pavilion many times, but what young man would be interested in rouge and powder used by women? In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he would ride his horse very far away every time before taking a look.
Even with just such a glance, he was satisfied.
He knew that his eldest sister-in-law loved his brother deeply, and took care of him as well. But he didn't mind at all that his eldest sister-in-law applied the same love she had for her deceased husband to him. He was even secretly happy. He was happy that someone really cared about him.
His eldest sister-in-law, as tough as a poplar tree with roots in the ground, provided him with all the financial support and information he needed, and helped him solve many problems. This was the truly great woman standing behind him.
