Lady Wei thought to herself that what Wei Zheng said was true; the two families already had a rift, and forcing them to live together would only make things awkward for both sides. If the second family could really pay for a good house for the eldest family, wouldn't that be a win-win situation?
As for her, she naturally lives with her own son.
Having deemed the method feasible, Lady Wei looked at Wei Zheng. After all, this idea had been blurted out by Sun Lurong in a moment of desperation, and she had probably not discussed it with Wei Zheng yet. Would he disagree?
When Wei Wenshi looked over, Wei Zheng was also trying to figure out her intentions. He naturally agreed with Sun Lurong's suggestion.
"Does Mother think this method is feasible?" Wei Zheng cautiously probed.
Lady Wei was willing, but outwardly she nodded with feigned sorrow: "So be it!"
Then he added with concern, "The ground is cold. How old are you? Why are you kneeling like that?"
Wei Zheng was delighted, thinking that this problem was finally solved. As long as the eldest son left, the Wei family could return to its former harmonious atmosphere.
Wei Shuwan, who had been secretly watching everything from outside the window, lowered her head, put down her tiptoes, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"How is it, young lady?" Zi Qiao asked anxiously.
To avoid being discovered by the people inside, the gap they opened in the window was too narrow, allowing only Wei Shuwan to peek. She could only support Wei Shuwan from the side and hear intermittently.
Now that Wei Shuwan is no longer listening, it proves that the old lady and the second master and his wife have reached a conclusion in their discussion.
Wei Shuwan smiled and said, her lips curving into a crescent shape. She was very happy and lively. "My uncle and aunt will be leaving the Wei family soon."
"Really? Are they going back to Wu County?"
Wei Shuwan shook her head slightly disappointed: "Grandmother cried and made a fuss, and my parents, feeling sorry for her, agreed to buy them a house in Shengjing."
"That's fine. Anyway, Shengjing City is so big. Even if we're both in Shengjing, we won't see each other more than a few times a year!" Zi Qiao was quite open-minded.
"However, buying a house is not something that can be done in a few days; there will probably be some compromises to make."
Before the young master's matter was revealed, Miss had to put on a show for them. Now, there's no need for that anymore. In any case, Miss either goes out or stays at Fuqu Pavilion. Even though they live in the same mansion, she rarely sees them.
“That’s true.” Wei Shuwan nodded in relief.
Just as the master and servant were about to leave Songhe Residence, they heard a series of hurried footsteps outside the courtyard, obviously heading towards Songhe Residence. Wei Shuwan had no choice but to pull Ziqiao back behind the tree and secretly observe the people coming.
The gatekeeper of the Wei family arrived, looking anxious. He had been running so fast that his face was flushed, and he was holding a letter high in his hand.
Wei Shuwan wondered to herself, what kind of letter could make the gatekeeper so anxious?
She thought about it for a while and couldn't think of anything that could warrant such a reaction except for an imperial edict.
However, the answer to this matter came quickly.
After the gatekeeper knocked and said he had an urgent report, Lady Wei allowed him to enter and speak. She had assumed it was about something else in Wu County, but the gatekeeper's words turned out to be about Sun Lurong's family.
"Master, Madam, the messenger says that Uncle is returning from the border and will be heading to the capital tomorrow!"
Sun Lurong was taken aback at first, seemingly not realizing who "Uncle" was for a moment. After a while, she suddenly understood and asked incredulously, "Who are you saying is coming back?!"
"Uncle! Madam's own brother!"
In her excitement, Sun Lurong swayed and nearly lost her balance. Fortunately, Wei Zheng was very considerate and quickly reached out to support her, reassuring her, "Don't panic, read the letter first!"
Sun Lurong then noticed the letter, quickly took it and hurriedly unfolded it.
Wei Shuwan, who was peeking out from behind the window again, was shocked and stared wide-eyed: "Uncle... is coming to Shengjing?"
"Uncle is coming to Shengjing?" Zi Qiao beside her was also taken aback!
"Then my brother..."
Wei Shuwan turned around with a smile, her surprise turning to delight, and put her hands on Ziqiao's shoulders: "Ever since you two siblings separated, your brother has been by your uncle's side. In his last letter, he said that he had become your uncle's right-hand man! When your uncle comes back, he will naturally not leave him behind!"
"Really, girl?" Zi Qiao was so excited she almost jumped up and down!
It's been almost ten years since she last saw her own brother!
