Don't panic if your home is confiscated or you are exiled, just empty the warehouse and stock u

"Master Wei, why are you here?"

"I am just here with Brother Jing to visit your residences and express my concern."

Jing Zhuo's eyes unconsciously followed Wei Songhan's inquiring gaze, and he secretly wondered what this uninvited guest was trying to do.

Did they discover something unusual?

Hearing the child crying, he took the initiative to ask:

"Can I see the child?" Wei Songhan's tone was not abnormal, it was more like a polite greeting.

But Jingzhuo didn't want him to notice anything unusual, and he was feeling troubled.

Before Jing Zhuo could respond, Wei Songhan stepped forward lightly, his movements natural yet cautious. The two children were still crying.

"When I was a child, I often accompanied my mother to help take care of my younger siblings. Maybe they were not hungry, but just bored."

Under Wei Songhan's coaxing, the girl really quieted down, and her big round eyes looked at the man in front of her curiously.

Jing Zhuo's heart was in his throat, fearing that the other party would notice something unusual.

Miraculously, the two children's crying gradually subsided under Wei Songhan's gentle attack.

"Master Wei, your method is really effective."

"The two children are very cute, and look a lot like..." He actually thought the children looked a lot like his younger siblings, but then he changed his words and said, "A lot like Jing Zhuo."

Jing Zhuo smiled bitterly a few times, just wanting to see this giant Buddha off as soon as possible.

However, Wei Songhan seemed to be completely unaware of this. Not only did he not have the slightest intention of leaving, but he even said shamelessly, "I wonder if I would be honored to have a home-cooked meal here to relieve my fatigue during the journey?"

After saying this, he took out an exquisite gold ornament from his sleeve and gently placed it on the table. His eyes were filled with apology and gentleness. "I was in a hurry on this trip and didn't have time to prepare a generous gift. This small item will be a gift for the child. I hope you won't despise it."

Before Jing Zhuo could say no, Jing Xiangxue had already accepted the offer, "If you don't mind this simple meal, please stay and have dinner. But we cannot accept this gift."

"This is a gift for the child. If you don't accept it, do you think you are looking down on me?"

"No, no, I absolutely wouldn't dare, Lord Wei."

In fact, this is the gold jewelry he has worn since he was a child. It is very valuable, but he has an inexplicable feeling in his heart and wants to leave it to his two children.

Wei Songhan nodded slightly and walked into the house naturally.

Jing Zhuo came close to his mother and whispered, "Mom, why did you leave him here?"

"They have given gifts to the child, and they have given him generous gifts. Moreover, he is a prominent figure in the court. If we refuse rashly, it will inevitably arouse suspicion, which is not good. It is better to go with the flow. There is still enough food at home, so why not prepare an extra set of bowls and chopsticks?"

When Jing Zhuo heard this, he knew that his mother was right, so he could only sigh secretly and followed his mother into the house helplessly.

Today, Jiang Yan was also having dinner at home. When Wei Songhan saw Jiang Yan, his eyes immediately lit up, "Master Jiang, why are you here?"

It had been a long time since anyone called him Lord Jiang. Jiang Yan took a look at the young man in front of him and said, "Oh... you are the eldest son of Brother Wei Yu, Song Han, right?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Songhan immediately bowed and saluted, his manner showing humility. "It is me, Wei Songhan. In the past, Lord Jiang was wrongly demoted and exiled. Although I was extremely worried, I was powerless and could not help him. Whenever I think of it, I feel guilty. It is a great honor to see that Lord Jiang is well today. Please allow me to bow to you as a token of my respect."

Jiang Yan waved his hand gently, with a smile that showed a bit of vicissitudes and relief, "Nephew Song Han, there is no need to be polite. I am no longer the Lord Jiang in the court. I am just an exiled criminal."

Jiang Yan was wearing plain clothes, and if his name was not mentioned, he looked like an ordinary teacher.

Wei Songhan's eyes were flashing with irrepressible excitement and admiration. He knew very well that this seemingly ordinary man was once the backbone of the court who advocated justice and cared about the people.

Unfortunately, the world is full of twists and turns, and good officials often cannot escape the tricks of fate. Tutor Jiang's experience made him feel mixed emotions, both regretful and indignant.

This time, he took the opportunity to discuss national affairs with Jiang Yan. It was not until Jing Qiudie came over and called them several times that the two of them reacted.

Jing Zhuo was glad that her uncle had diverted her attention and she no longer had to think of ways to deal with Wei Songhan.

But he was also vaguely worried that Wei Songhan would reveal the situation here. If people in the imperial court knew about the situation on Nanzhou Island, they would definitely send people to check it out, and then everything would no longer be concealed.

Jiang Yan's eyes flashed with a deep look. He slowly raised his wine cup and said softly, "It is a blessing for our island that Lord Wei has come from afar. However, I dare to ask Lord Wei to keep his mouth shut and not let the outside world know about this. Although we live in a remote corner, we are happy and self-sufficient. If the disturbances from the outside world disturb this tranquility, I am afraid that the fishermen on the island will no longer be able to maintain this precious peace and prosperity."

Upon hearing this, Wei Songhan's expression became more solemn. He pondered for a moment and finally nodded solemnly.

The scene before him forced him to admit that this island was like a paradise, with houses arranged in an orderly manner and complete facilities. The fishermen's faces were filled with satisfied and happy smiles. This harmony and beauty was something he did not want to destroy.

What a sin it would be if he destroyed this peaceful place.

Moreover, Jiang Yan lives a very good life here. This is the scene he desires in his heart. How could it be possible for people's hearts to destroy it?

"Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, I will never reveal a word. I just came here to see an old friend." After saying that, he looked at Jing Zhuo again.

"In this case, I will be relieved."

When it comes to the Wei family, everyone knows that their family tradition is upright and their family education is strict, like a rare clear stream in the court and the public.

He and Wei Yu were old friends for many years and he knew Wei Yu's noble character. Therefore, he assumed that his son must have inherited that character.

Wei Songhan originally just wanted to check on Jing Zhuo's situation, but he didn't expect to get a pleasant surprise. No wonder Jing Zhuo would collect evidence of the Li family's crimes. Presumably, Jiang Yan was also involved.

In this way, most of his doubts about her disappeared, and the person he was looking for didn't seem to be here.

Although there are only a few home-cooked dishes on the table, they are all delicacies unique to the island and are difficult to find in ordinary markets.

"Master Wei, this place is an island, so the products here are naturally unique, especially the seafood."

It is indeed very delicious, and you won’t know how wonderful it is unless you taste it yourself.” He exclaimed.

After finishing the meal, Wei Songhan teased the children for a while. He felt that he had a special affinity with these two children, so he couldn't help asking, "What are the names of these two children?"

"My Lord, these two children, one is called Huan'er and the other is called Yu'er."

"Joy...what a nice name."

Wei Songhan admired softly, thinking to himself that all the prosperity in this world is just for that simple and pure happiness and joy.

Although these two words are simple, they express the most sincere pursuit in life.

"Why can't we see their mother?" Wei Songhan expressed his doubts.

Logically, the child should be taken care of by his biological mother, but from beginning to end, he never saw a woman who looked like a mother appear.

Jing Zhuo replied angrily: "She died. Twins are dangerous to be pregnant. She died of dystocia."

"Brother Jing, I really didn't know about this matter. Please forgive me for my mistake in speaking."

"Now you know."

Perhaps this could explain why Jing Zhuo always looked so unhappy, and Wei Songhan could understand it now.

He did not find the person he wanted to find, so he had to return empty-handed. The affairs of Yazhou would take some time to deal with, so he had to go back quickly.

Originally, he wanted to try to keep those righteous men from the water stronghold who appeared inexplicably, but as soon as Li Qian showed some signs of weakness, they would immediately pack up and leave. It was a critical moment, and they had no way to send troops forward, so they could only watch this group of people leave on the boat.

But since they were able to assist them in defeating Li Qian and did not take the opportunity to attack their group, they must be a group of knowledgeable people, even though they were a group of bandits.

Wei Songhan’s next task is to eliminate the remnants of Li Qian, and he will definitely have to stay in Yazhou for some time.

He has plenty of opportunities to meet Jing Zhuo and plenty of time to find out his secrets.

He didn't even realize that he was caring more and more about Jing Zhuo.

Jing Zhuo heaved a sigh of relief only after Wei Songhan left. It seemed that he did not find anything unusual, but Wei Songhan definitely did not give up.

Maybe he will come here to look for her again. She frowned and came up with an idea. Perhaps it was time to leave here for a while and return to Linzhou with her mother.

Jing Xiangxue was worried: "The baby is not yet full-term, and it will take more than half a month to reach Linzhou. It's better to go after some time!"

Jing Zhuo couldn't persuade her and could only stay for the time being with reluctance.

But we must not go back to Yazhou. Staying on the island is the best option at the moment.

Wei Songhan couldn't sleep at night after returning. As soon as he closed his eyes, he could see Jing Zhuo appear in front of him, and the crying of two children lingered in his ears.

This was a feeling he had never experienced before. He cared so much about someone and couldn't forget him, even to the point that it affected his daily work.

What is most concerning is that it was a man.

This was the situation that he, a man who strictly adhered to etiquette, could not tolerate himself in.

……

Beijing, Fu family.

As soon as Fu Rongxuan came back, he heard the news that the An Ning Marquis had come to cancel the engagement.

"Lianxue wants to cancel the engagement, how is this possible?"

"I also feel that this matter is quite strange, so I dare not spread it without permission. I just said that I will wait for you to return and discuss countermeasures together."

"I will never give up on my marriage. I went to Jizhou this time only because of official duties. I dare not forget what is in my heart for a moment. Now, I will immediately set off to the An Ning Marquis's Mansion and ask for the truth."

As soon as Fu Rongxuan arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, Leng Shiyun stopped him outside the door. "Master Fu, my daughter has been feeling unwell recently and needs to rest and recuperate. If you are here to cancel the engagement, there is no need to disturb Lianxue. I, as her mother, can handle all matters on her behalf."

"Aunt, you are too kind. Rong Xuan's trip here is not to cancel the engagement. Lianxue and I have long been in love with each other. In this situation, how can I bear to mention the slightest intention of backing off? I hope that aunt will understand that Rong Xuan's feelings for Lianxue are as firm as a rock and will not change. He will definitely live up to the promise of this life."

His tone was sincere and his words were so heartfelt that it was hard not to be moved.

"Aunt must have misunderstood something. I was just on a business trip a while ago. I didn't mean to ignore you, and I don't have any intention of avoiding you."

Leng Shiyun sighed softly. She knew that Fu Rongxuan was a good man, but she was more worried that her daughter would be wronged.

"Master Fu, your character and talent are admirable, but I'm afraid that this matter is too late to reverse. I appreciate your kindness on behalf of Lianxue. As for the betrothal gifts, I will personally arrange for someone to send them back later to express my apology."

Fu Rongxuan said anxiously: "Aunt, please allow me to see Lianxue again and let me explain everything to her in person. Maybe there is still a chance for us to turn around. I am willing to give everything I have just to gain her forgiveness."

Leng Shiyun shook her head. "It's no longer necessary. You should leave here as soon as possible."

Now she had no choice but to cut the Gordian knot to avoid suffering for both of them in the future.

Fu Rongxuan seemed to understand why Mrs. Nan Rong, who was originally very enthusiastic about him, had such a change. She was afraid of him, not really disgusted with him.

She must be made to understand my determination towards Lianxue.

He pleaded again: "Aunt, I just want to see Lianxue!"

"This is not something I can decide." Leng Shiyun's face remained cold. She waved her hand gently, signaling the servants to slowly close the heavy door.

The curtain of winter was falling, a layer of leaden haze covered the sky, and snowflakes began to float in the sky.

Fu Rongxuan, with an upright figure but looking a little lonely, kneeled on the cold stone steps, like a solidified sculpture, letting time and wind and snow slowly spread around him.

The snowflakes lightly touched the tips of his hair and shoulders, gradually weaving a thin layer of silver gauze, blending him with this vast world.

The servant came hurriedly and said, "Madam, Master Fu is still kneeling outside the door stubbornly, refusing to leave regardless of wind or rain."

When Hu Lianxue heard this, she was moved, but reason told her that she could not go out and should not be soft-hearted. This was for herself and even more for Fu Rongxuan.

"Fei'er, why don't you go out and take a look? It's getting colder outside." The old lady advised: "Do you still remember the story I told you? For someone who truly loves you, these are nothing."

"But..." Her heart could no longer bear the pain again.

"Rong Xuan likes you very much. Grandmother will not make a mistake in judging him. Everyone can see his feelings. Giving him a chance is also giving yourself a chance to let go."

Hu Lianxue picked up the oil-paper umbrella next to her aunt, picked up a heavy cloak, and finally walked out.

The old lady looked at her back and couldn't help but say, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings."

Fu Rongxuan's whole body was frozen and he felt like he had lost all feeling in his body, but he didn't want to leave.

Until he felt a shadow suddenly covering his head, he looked up and saw Hu Lianxue's figure.

"You are kneeling here, are you hurting yourself?"
