Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

With this little girl who looked very much like her deceased daughter, Wei Qingchuan's grandmother seemed to regain her spirits and gradually got better day by day. The little girl was renamed Wei Ruo and became the second lady of the Wei family martial arts school.

Wei Xuan and Wei Ruo grew up together and had a very close relationship. Although they were not biological siblings, they were better than biological siblings. When they grew up, Wei Xuan married the daughter of the Zhou family, who also ran a martial arts school, and was Wei Qingchuan's mother. Wei Ruo was engaged to the youngest son of the Zhang family, who came from a wealthy family, and would marry her after she had her coming-of-age ceremony.

But things are unpredictable. Wei Qingchuan's grandmother became physically weak due to excessive grief over the death of her daughter Wei Zhen. After enduring for so many years, she finally died after seeing her two children found a place to stay. Only half a year later, his grandfather also followed his late wife in death.

Because of the death of his parents, Wei Ruo's marriage had to be postponed until after the mourning period. Fearing that the Zhang family would mind, the Wei family had originally thought that if the Zhang family could not wait that long, the two families could just negotiate and cancel the marriage.

But the Zhang family agreed at the time, saying that it was natural for children to mourn for their parents. But just one year later, news came out that the youngest son of the Zhang family could not stand the loneliness, and ran to brothels to seek pleasure, and even got a prostitute pregnant.

The Wei family angrily broke off the engagement, and Wei Ruo was depressed for a while. Fortunately, she was the daughter of a family that ran a martial arts school, so she had some martial arts skills and was naturally more open-minded. She soon came to her senses.

During the mourning period, people were not allowed to wear red or green, so she dressed like a man like her brother, taught her apprentices personally, and together with her brother, she managed the Wei family martial arts school in an orderly manner and her reputation grew.

But once a girl has seen the vast sky outside, she will no longer be willing to be trapped in the inner house. After the three-year mourning period, Wei Xuan finally realized that he should find a good family for his sister. However, even though he and Zhou had found many good families for her, Wei Ruo was unwilling to give in.

Wei Xuan originally thought that she was heartbroken by what happened to the Zhang family and didn't want to marry again. He sighed inwardly, thinking that at most he would just support her for the rest of her life. However, who knew that a ranger who came to ask for a place to stay would abduct Wei Ruo away.

At that time, Zhou had just been diagnosed by the doctor as being pregnant. Wei Xuan was so happy that he set up a three-day buffet to entertain guests from all over the country. A knight named Lin Heguan passed by and saw that the host was pregnant, so he added some money to the wedding gift, hoping to eat at the banquet to share in the good fortune.

Wei Xuan, who was greeting guests, saw that he had an extraordinary demeanor and was a stranger, so he pulled him into the inner seat and started chatting with him. Unexpectedly, the two of them got along better and better as they talked, and after three rounds of drinks, they even wanted to call each other brothers and become sworn brothers on the spot.

As they drank too much and it was getting dark, Wei Xuan really liked this chivalrous young man, so he invited him to stay for a few more days so that he could fulfill his role as host. Perhaps it was because people who practiced martial arts sympathized with each other, or perhaps it was because the invitation was too kind to refuse, Lin Heguan, who originally just wanted to have a drink, finally agreed.

But Wei Xuan, who was thinking about having a few days of drinking with others, was woken up in a panic the next morning. It turned out that one of his disciples had a conflict with someone in a martial arts gym in another place and injured that person. The other party insisted that he step in to release the person.

In desperation, Wei Xuan had no choice but to call his sister, who was already capable of taking care of herself, and told her to take good care of his pregnant wife and not to neglect the guest Lin Heguan. Then he simply packed his luggage and set off.

No one knew what happened in the next half month. All they knew was that when Wei Xuan returned to his martial arts gym, his anxious wife handed him a letter and told him a piece of news that shocked and angered him—his sister had been kidnapped! And that person was Lin Heguan, whom he wished he could be his confidant!

Although Wei Ruo said in the letter that she did not want to be trapped in the inner house for the rest of her life, and wanted to go out to see the beautiful mountains and rivers outside and do things that would leave her with no regrets in this life, she also asked him not to worry, saying that she would come back after she figured out whether the world was really as written in "Female Commandments" and "Female Training", that women could not survive if they left their homes.

But according to Zhou, Lin Heguan and Wei Ruo left at the same time, and Wei Ruo had loved listening to stories about knights since childhood. There was nothing Wei Xuan didn't understand. He was letting a wolf into the house and even got close to his own sister!

Wei Xuan's first reaction was to order people to chase after them, but as it had been several days since the two left, there was no way he could catch up with them. He also didn't want to make his pregnant wife anxious, so he could only suppress his anger and order people to keep the news secret, telling others that Wei Ruo had gone to visit relatives far away.

But Wei Ruo said she would come back, but Wei Xuan never saw her again until the day Wei Qingchuan's family was killed by the monster. Instead, Lin Heguan went to the Wei family once on Wei Qingchuan's third birthday and gave Wei Qingchuan a jade unicorn that he had carved himself as a birthday gift.

Three years later, when he saw Lin Heguan again, Wei Xuan's anger had actually disappeared long ago. He thought that if Wei Ruo came back with him, he would definitely control his anger and talk to her properly. But when his eyes fell on the empty back of Lin Heguan, he couldn't help but curse at her, and ignored Lin Heguan's explanation that Wei Ruo didn't know how to face him, and said with a sullen face.

"Her nephew has already celebrated his third birthday! Is she starting to feel ashamed now? If she doesn't come back today, she will never come back in this life!" After saying that, he no longer gave Lin Heguan any face and called the servants and apprentices to coax him out.

He was so angry that he acted very arrogantly, but when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Wei Xuan regretted his decision after Zhou had consoled him. He took out the Jade Unicorn that he had casually thrown aside and hung it around the neck of Wei Qingchuan who was still sleeping.

Later, until more than a dozen members of the Wei family were killed by monsters overnight, Wei Ruo never appeared again. However, every year on Wei Qingchuan's birthday and the birthdays of the three members of the Wei family, they would receive birthday gifts from different regions. The gifts were not expensive, but they were carefully selected and packaged. Although the senders of the gifts had never signed their names, the Wei family members all knew it.

It was a long time ago, he was still young at the time, and he had experienced such a tragic incident in which his entire family was wiped out. Wei Qingchuan thought that his memory would be vague, but when he recalls it now, it seems to be vivid in his mind.

Under the warm candlelight, the helpless expression on his mother's face when she told him these things; when frost and snow fell, his father often looked into the distance in a daze with a lonely look; during his sleepy nap, the sighs of the maid and the wet nurse when they mentioned the willful Second Miss in a low voice seemed like it was just yesterday, but as soon as he opened his eyes, he was still the carefree young master of the Wei family.

"So, my mother is your aunt Wei Ruo, right?" Lin Xi had burst into tears without knowing when, and stared blankly at the person in front of her.
