2. Terrible
◎I dream about him◎
"Oh my! What's wrong with you, girl? Why is it like this?"
"You don't know, that's the unruly daughter of the Wei family, and this young man is her fiancé."
By this time, the boat was only a few feet from the shore, and the onlookers saw the scene clearly. Some of them knew the situation and told the naive people about this love-hate relationship.
"This Miss Wei has been infatuated with her fiancé for many years and cannot tolerate even the slightest bit of sand in her eyes. Although they haven't married yet, she keeps a close eye on her fiancé and won't allow him to get even close to other women."
"Earlier at the restaurant, Miss Wei caught her fiancé meeting a woman, and he was so angry that he wanted to break off the engagement. I heard that Miss Wei even tried to commit suicide..."
…
There were discussions on the shore, and Qiu Luo on the boat had already rushed over crying and hugged his young lady's waist tightly.
"Master Yan, please try to persuade the young lady!"
The boatman, fearing someone might die on his boat, couldn't help but say, "Sir, please be kind and take the girl away!"
Yan Qizhen's handsome face was as black as charcoal, and he took a few big steps forward.
"Brother Yan..." Wei Ziyan looked at him as he suddenly approached, her beautiful eyes filled with sparkling tears.
Yan Qizheng pretended not to see it, turned his face away, and roughly grabbed her wrist, pulling her away from the edge of the boat. When the boatman pulled the boat to the dock, he quickly dragged her ashore.
"Don't look at it, don't look at it."
Yan Qizhen's servants and the servants from the Wei Mansion had already been waiting there. They repeatedly ordered the onlookers to be evacuated and waved their hands to clear the way ahead.
Wei Ziyan didn't expect to attract so many people. She felt ashamed at this time. She lowered her head and almost buried her face in Yan Qizhen's back, allowing him to drag her through the crowd and get on her own carriage.
Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, she saw Yan Qi letting go of her and turning to leave. Wei Ziyan grabbed his sleeve and asked, "What about you?"
There are still traces of tears in her red eyes, as if she has suffered bullying and injustice, and looks pitiful.
Yan Qizheng took two deep breaths and squeezed out four words from between his teeth: "Send you back."
So, two carriages set out from the dock, one in front and one behind, and galloped towards the Wei Mansion.
"Miss, sob, sob..." In the carriage of the last carriage, Qiu Luo couldn't stop crying softly while cleaning up Wei Ziyan's messy clothes.
For Master Yan, her young lady almost...
"Don't cry..."
Having just finished her performance of crying, making a scene, and threatening to hang herself, Wei Ziyan was exhausted and leaned limply against the car wall. She spoke to Qiu Luo with her eyes half-closed and her voice weak.
“…I’m fine…”
"Are you still okay?" Qiu Luo's eyes widened. "If there weren't so many people watching, Young Master Yan would have been forced to pull you back, and something terrible would have happened!"
Wei Ziyan sighed almost imperceptibly: "Then he... brought me back..."
This guy always speaks harshly, but he is not really as hard-hearted as a man.
"He won't watch me... commit suicide..."
Wei Ziyan unconsciously showed a hint of understanding on the corner of her mouth, but in Qiu Luo's eyes, it was a different explanation - the young lady thought that her son-in-law was reluctant to let her go!
Qiu Luo snorted secretly, no way!
Young Master Yan was clearly afraid that something bad would happen and he would not be able to explain to his master and mistress!
But Qiu Luo was afraid that explaining it clearly would hurt the young lady's feelings, so he had to shut up unhappily.
The banquet at the Wei Mansion hadn't yet ended. Wei Ziyan had sneaked out, so she naturally didn't dare run back openly. The carriage was still parked at the small west gate, and Qiu Luo helped the young lady down.
There was no movement in Yan Qizhen's carriage in front. Wei Ziyan just stepped forward and before she could say "Brother Yan", the servant Xu Ji jumped out of the carriage and respectfully delivered the message.
"The master said he would send the young lady here. Please go back and have a good rest."
Wei Ziyan lifted her eyelids and glanced at the lowered curtain, and she also knew when to stop and stop.
"Brother Yan, I'll go back first."
After saying this softly across the carriage, Wei Ziyan turned around and went through the west door with Qiu Luo, heading straight to the boudoir in the backyard.
However, a servant had received Master Wei's instructions and immediately rushed to report to the master upon seeing the young lady's return. Therefore, Wei Ziyan had just returned to the Misty Rain Pavilion, only to change her wet shoes and before she had time to change clothes, she saw her father coming to question her.
"Why did you chase Yan Qizhen out?" Master Wei was furious and anxious when he saw his daughter's miserable appearance.
"Did you go out and make trouble again?"
No one knows a father better than his daughter.
Wei Ziyan knew her father valued his reputation, so how could she dare tell him the truth? She hung her head and said nothing.
Seeing this, Master Wei pointed at the maid next to him and said, "Speak!"
Qiu Luo was so frightened by the harsh voice that he immediately knelt on the ground.
"Master, calm down."
She kowtowed to the ground, but could only say these four words. How could Master Wei calm down his anger? Just as he was about to teach this girl a lesson, Wei Ziyan also knelt on the ground.
"Daddy, please calm down. This is my daughter's fault and has nothing to do with Qiu Luo. If Daddy wants to punish or scold me, I will bear it alone."
"No, Master...Qiuluo was also wrong. She shouldn't have helped the young lady sneak out. Today is the young lady's birthday. If you want to punish me, please punish me."
The master and servant were eager to accept the punishment and were determined to keep their mouths shut, which made Master Wei even more angry.
"Okay, okay! Both of you kneel down here and don't get up! And you--" Wei Jizhi did not forget to warn the other two maids in the room.
"Anyone who dares to inform the Madam will be beaten with a stick and sent out of the house!"
Wei Jizhi left angrily, walked out of the Misty Rain Pavilion, and ordered his servants to bring the carriage driver to question him.
The servant and Xu Ji witnessed the entire incident at the dock, and did not miss any of it. When the master personally questioned them, they reported everything they had heard and heard in detail.
When Wei Jizhi heard that his daughter fell into the river and almost jumped into it, he was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe.
No! This time, no matter what, we can't let this evil go unpunished!
Master Wei took two breaths and then hurried back to Yanyu Pavilion.
"Miss, have some hot tea."
Wei Ziyan has been a pampered child since she was a child. Today, she jumped off the boat and hurt her leg, soaking her clothes. She knelt on the ground for a while and felt cold all over. The maid Chunlai hurriedly brought her hot tea.
Unexpectedly, just as the teacup touched his lips, the old woman who was on guard duty outside ran in in a panic: "Oh no, the master is back again!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Wei Ziyan quickly stuffed the teacup back to Chunlai. Chunlai didn't feel the heat even when the tea spilled on his hands. He immediately knelt up again with his hands hanging down obediently at his sides.
"You evil creature—" Wei Ziyan's heart suddenly tightened when she heard her father's voice coming closer from afar.
That’s right! The servant must have confessed everything!
Just as she was thinking "This is over", she caught a glimpse of her father stepping over the threshold with an angry look on his face.
Fortunately, I came back empty-handed.
After all, from childhood to adulthood, no matter how much she misbehaved, her father would never be willing to beat her...
"Go get me some family rules!"
"master……"
Wei Ziyan: "..."
"Go quickly!" Master Wei roared.
Soon, the servant brought the ruler and Master Wei grabbed it in his hand.
Wei Ziyan secretly groaned. The ruler was longer than her arm and wider than her palm. How painful it must have been when it hit her!
Mother! Why hasn’t mother come to save her yet?
"You are simply lawless. If I don't teach you a lesson today, the entire Liangjing City will laugh at the Wei family!"
Wei Jizhi was really angry, he raised his thick and long ruler, and was about to bring it down quickly——
“Daddy…” Wei Ziyan raised her head, her eyes red on her begging face.
With this aggrieved cry, the ruler's momentum in mid-air suddenly stopped. Wei Jizhi met his daughter's pitiful eyes, and his heart ached, unable to bring himself to strike.
How could he be afraid of being laughed at?
It's obvious that he is afraid that his daughter will make the same mistake again and again and hurt herself because of love!
He and his wife only have this one daughter now. If anything were to happen to her, the family would be finished...
Wei Jizhi learned his lesson and put down the ruler in his hand.
"I won't hit you today, but you must promise me that you won't bother Qi Zheng again in the future!"
Only by removing the fuel can the boiling water be stopped. The source of the trouble must be nipped in the bud.
"Your father will discuss with the Yan family to cancel the engagement and find another good match for you..."
“Daddy, you can’t—” Wei Ziyan was so shocked that she quickly objected, “Daughter…daughter doesn’t want to cancel the engagement…”
"You have also seen that Qi Zheng does not want to marry you. Why are you still stubborn?" Wei Jizhi was heartbroken.
"Even if he obeys his parents and marries you, he will definitely take a concubine in the future. Do you still want to threaten him with death again and again?"
These words left Wei Ziyan speechless. She bit her lips stubbornly, tears welling in her eyes.
"I have made up my mind. I will go and make it clear to Madam Yan right away."
"Daddy, don't—"
With a "clang", the ruler was thrown to the ground, and Master Wei turned and left, as if there was no room for maneuver.
Wei Ziyan hurriedly stood up, but her vision suddenly went dark and her head was spinning.
"Miss--"
"Master, the young lady has fainted!"
This time, Wei Ziyan was not pretending; she had truly fainted. The doctor said she had caught a cold from falling into the water, and her body was weak and she needed to rest in bed to recuperate.
Fearing that she would become depressed during her illness and her heart disease would worsen, Wei Jizhi had to put the termination of the contract on hold and discuss it again later.
After being helped up and drinking the medicine, Wei Ziyan fell drowsy and continued to sleep. In a daze, she heard the voices of her mother and father talking.
"At first, I thought she and Qi Zheng would grow up together and develop feelings for each other, but who knew... Alas, if I had known this would happen, why would I have decided on this marriage?"
"It's too late to regret now. I should think about how to persuade Yan'er to stop being obsessed."
"How can I persuade her? Didn't you see how she acted a bit crazy because of Qi Zheng..."
Wei Ziyan's consciousness fell into a dark black hole, as if passing through a long passage and coming to a world that suddenly became bright.
In the spring garden, with green grass and blooming flowers, a little girl is chasing butterflies.
She had no idea how to catch them, so she waved her hands clumsily, chasing the flying butterflies.
A little brother passed by and she was so excited that she shouted, "Brother, help me catch butterflies!"
Unfortunately, he seemed to think it was childish and was unwilling to help her catch butterflies...
The scene changed, and the little girl chased after him: "Brother Yan, will you play with me for a while?"
"Brother Yan, it was Qizhu who stole my things first."
"Brother Yan, are you going to go horseback riding? I want to ride too, can you take me with you?"
"Brother Yan, I can ride a horse, and I won't cry even if I fall..."
The scene shifted again, and the girl's horse spooked and bolted. Terrified, the horse was finally pulled back, and before she could see who was helping her off, she threw herself into his arms, bursting into tears...
Brother Zhao...
Wei Ziyan's lips moved slightly in her sleep, and she murmured softly.
Qiuluo and Chunlai were guarding the bedside. When they heard the noise, they couldn't help but sigh: "The young lady is really hopeless for Master Yan. She dreams about him every night."
Chunlai's ears were sharp and his brows were furrowed suspiciously.
"Miss, it seems you're not calling me Master Yan..."
After hearing this, Qiu Luo held his breath and carefully identified the first word. It was indeed not pronounced as "Yan"...
To brother?
Where is the Brother Chao?
"Ah, I get it!" Chunlai's eyes lit up, "The young lady was calling Master Yan 'bad brother'!"
Qiu Luo suddenly realized that it was this "bad".
you do not say!
How can I not be upset when I have such a cold-blooded and heartless son-in-law?
