She had waited too long for this sentence. It was so long that she thought she would never hear it again in her life. If that day ever came, it would definitely be on the road to h.e.l.l.
She looked at the man who had appeared in front of her in disbelief. The grievances she had not dared to feel for the past four years, along with the longing and pain of losing her husband day after day, turned into hot tears at this moment and rushed out of her eyes.
She suddenly slumped to the ground and sobbed. “Why did you only come back now… Do you know how hard Xiyue and I have waited for you…”
Guilt flashed across Wei Qing’s eyes as he gently touched her head. “I’m sorry, I came back late.”
Li Wan was furious. She cried and punched his shoulder.
Mei Ji widened her eyes and wanted to stop her, but she was grabbed by the waist by the a.s.sa.s.sin.
Her hands and feet fluttered. “What are you doing? Put me down! Didn’t you see her attack Sir?”
The a.s.sa.s.sin clipped her downstairs expressionlessly.
Li Wan cried for a long time, as if she wanted to vent all the emotions she had suppressed for four years.
Halfway through, a guard woke up in a daze. He looked around and tactfully knocked himself out.
Li Wan was almost done crying. Wei Qing took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears off her face.
She looked down at her overly plain clothes and said awkwardly, “I’m not usually like this.”
Wei Qing smiled. “Wanwan looks good in anything.”
A trace of shyness flashed across Li Wan’s eyes. She was thin-skinned and could not continue this topic. She changed the topic and asked, “Where have you been for the past few years? When did you return to the capital? Why are you here?”
Wei Qing said patiently, “I was in Western Jin. I just returned to the capital at night and went to the Li family. Big Brother said that you came to the Jade
Cloud Pavilion.”
Li Wan said in a low voice, “I was careless tonight. I’ll be more careful next time.”
Wei Qing said, “You can’t be blamed. The two of them have business with the Li family, right?”
Li Wan nodded. “When my mother was alive, we did a few business deals with them. We’re not very close, but we have some friendship.”
Otherwise, her brother would not have fallen for it so easily, and she would not have come alone.
Wei Qing said, “Little Seven has just been reinstated and is valued by the Emperor Jing Xuan. Even if he’s no longer in the capital, not many people have the guts to provoke the Wei family. Since you’ve announced your ident.i.ty, they still dare to have designs on you. It’s not as simple as it looks.”
Li Wan frowned and said, “Are you saying that there’s someone behind them?”
Wei Qing a.n.a.lyzed, “At least they have a backer. This backer is not small and can challenge the Wei family.”
Li Wan was stunned.
A cold glint flashed across Wei Qing’s eyes. “Looks like a lot has happened in the capital in the few months that Little Seven has been away.”
Someone wanted to touch the Wei family again.
Four years ago, the Wei family was almost destroyed. Now, he would never let the tragedy repeat itself.
As this thought flashed across his mind, he saw that Li Wan was silent. He restrained the killing intent in his eyes and smiled. “Why aren’t you saying anything? Did I scare you?”
Li Wan pursed her lips and asked angrily, “Who was the girl who pushed you in just now?”
Wei Qing smiled. “Wanwan, are you jealous?”
Li Wan said nothing.
Wei Qing said in amus.e.m.e.nt, “I can’t find a girl like this.”
Li Wan’s gaze landed on his leg and she could not hide her worry. “Your legs…”
Wei Qing sighed. “It hurts a little.”
After Baili Chen confirmed Wei Qing’s ident.i.ty, he did not return to his courtyard immediately. Instead, he left the residence.
No one knew what he was doing. An hour later, he returned to the Wei family and went to Matriarch Wei’s courtyard to guard her bed.
Nanny Li came over in the middle of the night to cover Matriarch Wei with a blanket. When she saw a white figure sitting there, she almost thought she had seen a ghost!
At dawn, Matriarch Wei finally woke up.
She saw Baili Chen sitting on the stool and was not frightened. Instead, she asked strangely, “Did an a.s.sa.s.sin come last night?”
Otherwise, why would he stay by her bed?
Baili Chen crossed his arms. “No, it was a misunderstanding.” Did he say that or not?
Old Madam Wei asked, “Then why are you standing here?”
Baili Chen said, “Seventh Young Master, Seventh Young Madam, and three young masters are back.”
Not long after Wei Qing went to look for Li Wan, their carriage also entered the residence. Wei Ting was covered in dust, as if he had been punched a hundred times. The three little ones jumped around energetically for half the night and only fell asleep at dawn.
Old Madam Wei was in disbelief. “Is he really back?”
Baili Chen said, “He even brought Second Young Master back.”
Old Madam Wei said in a daze, “Say that again. Who did he bring back?”
Baili Chen said, “Second Young Master, Wei Qing.”
Matriarch Wei lifted the blanket.
Baili Chen lowered his bamboo hat. “Don’t worry, I’ve prepared everything for you.”
He stood up and moved aside.
Only then did Old Madam Wei realize that the table was filled with bottles and jars of white silk, daggers, bricks, hammers, and poisons like “Crane Top Red”, “a.r.s.enic”, and “Five Steps Intestine Piercing Powder”.
These were more than dealing with Ghostfear and Wei Yan combined.
The corners of Old Madam Wei’s mouth twitched. “…There’s no need.
“Which one do you want to use?” Baili Chen was clearly very familiar with Matriarch Wei’s standard operating procedure.
Old Madam Wei glared at him. “There’s no need for any of them! Second Brother is the most sensible and obedient child in the family. Among the seven, only Second Brother will never trouble me. Why do you need to do these things?”
Nanny Li excitedly drew the curtain and entered. “Madam, Second Young
Master is here!”
Old Madam Wei pounced over, grabbed a bottle of red syrup, and poured it into her mouth.
When Li Wan pushed Wei Qing in, she was already lying back on the bed. Her expression was pained and she was on the verge of death. A shocking streak of “blood” flowed from the corner of her mouth.
She turned her head extremely slowly and reached out to Wei Qing in the wheelchair with a trembling expression. “Qing’er… You have finally returned… If you had come a little later… Grandmother wouldn’t have been able to see you… Grandmother’s wish is fulfilled… I can go see your grandfather and the others without worry… But if you can’t bear to part with Grandmother… Grandmother can stay longer…”
Wei Qing was speechless.
And so was Baili Chen.
In the government office, Ling Yun, Ghostfear, and Wei Liulang, who had been locked up for two days, were suddenly released.
The three of them were a little stunned.
This was not the first time they had entered a cell. Their family never used silver to redeem them. What was wrong today?
The three of them looked at Su Xiaoxiao outside the door.
“Eh? Xiaoxiao is back? So Little Seven is back too?” Wei Liulang almost cried.
“Someone finally found a conscience and came to redeem us.”
Su Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and shook her head. “It wasn’t me.”
Mei Ji jumped down from the carriage behind Su Xiaoxiao and waved at
Ghostfear.. “Big guy, we meet again!”
