Chapter 15 Returning Home
"Uncle is right. If you were not taken care of, you would have eaten up all the money in the house. Besides, being thinner is healthier. If you follow those idle rich kids during the day, you will learn bad habits."
Wei Qingcheng teased him and picked up two more pieces of vegetables for him with his chopsticks.
Zhang Zeyu immediately pulled down the corners of his mouth and wanted to eat vegetables again! Hiss, why do I feel chilly...
When he looked up, he saw Prince Hexuan looking at him with a fierce look in his eyes. It shouldn't be necessary for him to just eat two bites of food in the palace!
"Well, I saw you making friends with them, so I thought they were nice people too."
Wei Qingcheng snorted and laughed: "That was when my eldest brother went south to do business. I helped him recruit more people. More money makes things easier. You should eat and drink less with them. They are not good people. Who knows, they might take you for a fool."
Zhang Zeyu nodded vigorously: "Okay, I won't make friends with them anymore. Then I'll come to see you more often, okay? You know, you're my only good friend."
Hiss, why are you getting more aggressive? I didn’t eat much. Zhang Zeyu felt like Xie Jingyu’s eyes were going to pierce through him.
Wei Qingcheng smiled and picked up a piece of food for Xie Jingyu: "Okay, Your Majesty, can he come again in the future?"
"Yeah," Xie Jingyu, who was being taken care of, was satisfied and withdrew his gaze from Zhang Zeyu.
………
The day to return home soon arrived. Early in the morning, Wei Qingcheng was dug out from under the quilt by Xie Jingyu, and she was awakened by fright.
The young couple both wore moon-white robes and took a carriage to the Wei Mansion.
When Xie Jingyu helped him get off the carriage, he saw Wei's father, Wei's mother and Wei Minghui waiting at the door. He walked faster.
The people from the Wei Mansion were about to kneel and bow when they saw Xie Jingyu. Xie Jingyu took the opportunity to hold Wei Qingcheng's hand and said, "Dad, Mom, there's no need to be so polite. I'm a son-in-law returning home, so I'm half a member of the Wei family. You don't have to bow anymore."
Father Wei looked at their tightly clasped hands with an unpleasant expression on his face. Mother Wei smoothed things over, "Yes, Jingyu is right. We are all family now. Come in quickly. The food is ready. We are just waiting for you to come back!"
After dinner, Xie Jingyu was invited by Wei's father to the study.
"My Lord, my son has not caused you any trouble, has he?"
Xie Jingyu replied gently: "No, Qingcheng is fine."
Father Wei's face became even uglier, he knelt down with his clothes lifted: "Prince, although Qingcheng has been raised as a girl since he was a child, it was because he was weak. Qingcheng is an upright man!
You and my son, this is...? ”
Xie Jingyu's neck turned red, and she hurried to pull him, but was pushed away by Wei's father.
"Yes, we...slept together."
Father Wei seemed unable to accept it, and sat on the ground without any regard for etiquette: "Didn't I say in the letter that my Wei Mansion will be at your disposal from now on, whether it's money or connections, how can you...you" (beast)
Father Wei still took into consideration Wei Qingcheng's future life and did not curse him. Although he had thought about this before, it really happened and he still felt sorry for his son. The son he raised so tenderly... now he has become someone else's plaything...
Seeing that Wei's father's eyes were distracted, Xie Jingyu panicked and knelt in front of Wei's father.
"Father-in-law! I really love Qingcheng. I will protect him in the future. I will do my best to help him with whatever he wants to do, and I will never get involved with anyone he hates!
I, Xie Jingyu, swear in front of you and Long Yuan’s ancestors that if I break this oath, I will never have a good death in my lifetime! ”
Father Wei looked at his sincere eyes and remembered that Xie Jingyu was recalled to the palace not long after the marriage proposal that day.
Although swearing to oneself is not credible, the swearing to Long Yuan’s ancestors is somewhat credible.
"As long as Qingcheng is happy, you'd better remember your oath. The current emperor has few children, and you are his future... If you break your oath and die tragically in this fight, my guards will not help."
He used the worst consequence he could think of to warn Xie Jingyu that it was not easy for men to stay together, and as a father, he could only do his best to protect his son from the pain of betrayal.
"Father-in-law! You agree!" Xie Jingyu asked happily.
"There is still a long time to go, let's wait and see!" Father Wei said harshly, pulled Xie Jingyu up, and asked the prince to kneel down in front of him. He could not bear this responsibility.
…
In the front hall, Wei's mother and Wei Minghui were talking to Wei Qingcheng.
"Look, Jingyu treats you very well. Live a good life in the future and be more obedient to him. He must be tired from handling affairs in the court. You should be more considerate of him. He treats you well, so you have to treat him well too. Only then can your life be perfect!"
Father Wei strode in and said, "Humph! Calling you Jingyu is even more rude than calling you Prince. We can't take advantage of others' politeness!"
"You're so angry! Who has pissed you off again? Who are you going to take it out on? Qingcheng has finally come back, don't spoil everyone's fun!" Mother Wei was startled by Father Wei's voice, and she became angry. She sighed that the older he gets, the weirder his temper becomes!
Father Wei took a sip of water and sat there without saying anything. His son had finally come back and he missed him very much as he had rarely traveled far since he was born.
"Okay, mother, don't be angry. Father is also cautious. After all, the prince is different from others." Wei Qingcheng watched her parents quarreling and tried to persuade them, then she remembered why Xie Jingyu disappeared.
"Father, where is the prince?"
Seeing his son unable to leave his side at this moment, Father Wei became angry again: "You are in your room, you said you would not disturb us, but look at you, you are such a loser!"
Wei Qingcheng remembered that there seemed to be a script given by Miss Yan in her room. If Xie Jingyu saw it, she would: "Ah! Father, I~ Then I will go find him."
Father Wei held his forehead and felt that he had aged several years in an instant.
Mother Wei went over and rubbed his temples with a distressed look on her face. "Isn't their love exactly what we hope for? If Qingcheng married a girl, you would definitely be relieved to see them like this. It's all the same. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Let them live their own lives. Anyway, the Wei Mansion will provide them with a safety net."
Father Wei held his wife's hand and sighed, muttering in his heart, Madam, you don't understand Xie Jingyu's wolfish ambitions. I'm afraid that the marriage to the Wei family was not that simple from the beginning...
…………
"My Lord, why did you come here by yourself?"
I don't have the book, so I probably didn't see it.
"I want you to spend more time with your family. You will feel uncomfortable if I go over."
Xie Jingyu sat alone on the stool, looking... quite pitiful.
Even on the wedding day, the emperor did not show up, his mother had passed away, and he seemed to have no relatives or friends.
Wei Qingcheng sat beside him and poured tea for him.
"We are married now, my parents are also your parents, as well as my elder sister and elder brother. They are all easy to get along with, you can talk to them more."
Xie Jingyu knew that he was feeling sorry for her, and her heart softened...
