Yuan Wei's Quick Travel

Chapter 166 Cannon Fodder Substitute 15

Time flies, and before I knew it, six years have passed.

During these six years, excluding the two years of mourning, the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion welcomed the birth of six new lives.

Without exception, all were baby girls.

Today, there are fifteen daughters in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, a number that is jaw-dropping.

People all over the capital were betting on how many daughters the Weiyuan Marquisate would eventually have.

During every festive occasion, when the whole family gets together, the bustle of the house gives Yuan Guangheng a headache.

In recent years he has become less and less fond of staying at home.

Ever since his mourning period ended, he has been eager to return to officialdom, but has been repeatedly rejected by the emperor and remains idle at home.

Yuan Guangheng had never envied his younger brother, but recently, this emotion had been growing wildly in his heart.

Not only because they have a smooth career, but also because they have successors.

Every time Yuan Guangheng saw his nephews greeting him politely, his eyes would turn red with envy.

Why couldn't he have an heir?

Even if there is only one, it would be fine.

He once had a son, but unfortunately he did not know how to cherish him at that time.

If he were given another chance, he would definitely slap him on the mouth and say to him:

Is riding a horse really that fun? If you don’t ride a horse, I still have a son!

Unfortunately, it's too late to regret now.

This is also the reason why Yuan Guangheng has never sent Yuan Wei away over the years.

He needed a son, at least on the surface, otherwise he didn't know how he would be ridiculed.

Apart from occasionally causing trouble for Chu Wanyi and Yuan Lan, Yuan Wei has spent most of her time practicing over the years.

Through her unremitting efforts, both the Soul Art and Xiaoyao have made great progress.

It’s a pity that this is a low-level martial arts world and I can’t test my true strength.

That day, Yuan Guangheng was annoyed by the noise in the garden, so he left the house again.

Yuan Guangheng thought it was too noisy, but Yuan Wei thought these concubines were quite cute.

When she had nothing to do, she would wander into the garden, picking flowers and playing with her sisters, which was quite a lot of fun.

"Brother, I heard that you used to grow your own vegetables?"

The Sixth Girl had just emerged from the flowers, with some pink petals still on her body. She blinked her big watery eyes and stared at Yuan Wei curiously.

"Yeah, look, those chives over there were planted by big brother."

Yuan Wei pointed to a patch of chives not far away, motioning the Sixth Girl to look over there.

The sixth girl exclaimed excitedly, "Wow! So those are vegetables! I thought they were weeds. Eighth sister, come quickly and see the vegetables that big brother has planted!"

As he said this, he ran over happily.

Yuan Wei looked at the lively and lovely Sixth Girl, and a smile appeared on her lips.

Turning around, Yuan Wei noticed the fifth girl who was reading quietly beside her.

So he walked over and gently inserted a freshly picked white camellia into the fifth girl's hair, and asked softly, "Why don't you go play with them, fifth sister?"

The fifth girl slowly raised her head from the book, her eyes met Yuan Wei's, and she replied softly, "I think reading is more interesting."

After a brief silence, the fifth girl suddenly looked up at Yuan Wei, her eyes gleaming with curiosity, and whispered, "Brother."

Yuan Wei was slightly startled, a puzzled look on her face, and responded: "Hmm?"

The fifth girl bit her lip lightly, seeming a little embarrassed, but still mustered up the courage to continue asking:

"My third and fourth sisters are twins, so it's hard to tell them apart sometimes. But my sixth sister and I look completely different, so why does Dad sometimes call me Little Six?"

Yuan Wei was stunned when she heard this.

Calling Fifth Miss Xiaoliu is because the ranking of the original body is also taken into account, right?

The original body was ranked third. If we calculate according to this ranking, the fifth girl would be the sixth!

These concubine sisters usually call each other according to their ranking and have never had a formal name.

I don’t know if Yuan Guangheng thought it was too troublesome to name so many daughters, so he simply didn’t bother with it.

Thinking of this, Yuan Wei couldn't help but laugh.

At this moment, she noticed that the fifth girl's bright eyes were staring at her without blinking, obviously waiting for her answer.

Yuan Wei smiled slightly and said softly: "Maybe he is getting old and confused?"

After hearing this, the fifth girl wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, and her face turned red from holding it in.

Although she was still young, she had never seen anyone criticize his father so openly.

However, in the eyes of these concubines, the eldest brother is the closest person to them.

On weekdays, the eldest brother would care for and love them, and every time he came back from going out, he would bring them some novel and interesting gadgets.

In comparison, their father was a distant presence, and they could only catch a glimpse of him from afar at family dinners.

Occasionally I would see my father at my aunt's house and get closer to him, but he would be quickly sent away by my aunt.

So when Yuan Wei told her that her father was senile and confused, the Fifth Girl didn't feel anything and didn't think Yuan Wei was too rude.

"Brother! You're still having fun here at this hour. Have you studied? Have you finished your homework? Can't you let mother worry less? You're so frivolous every day and you don't take things seriously at all!"

The fifth girl was about to say something when she heard her second sister chattering at her eldest brother.

The fifth girl looked at Yuan Wei helplessly, and after receiving a comforting look from Yuan Wei, she stood aside silently.

Yuan Wei turned around and looked at Yuan Lan, who had also come to the garden at some point. She looked her up and down, a sarcastic smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.

"Hey, what did Second Sister eat today? I can smell a foul odor from far away."

As she spoke, Yuan Wei fanned herself a few times with an exaggerated movement, as if there really was some strange smell.

"You..." Yuan Lan glared, anger instantly surged in his heart. Just as he was about to explode, he was interrupted in time by Yuan Wei.

"What do you mean by 'you'? I'm your eldest brother. Where are your manners? You've learned all these rules and etiquette like a dog. Which lady from a noble family would point at her own eldest brother and talk to him like that? It's so rude."

Yuan Lan widened her eyes and stared at Yuan Wei.

"You're about to discuss your marriage. If you don't learn the rules and etiquette, household management, cooking and needlework before you get married, will people point fingers at your mother and scold her for not being able to teach her a good parent?"

Yuan Wei continued to scold loudly, her voice full of gloating.

Yuan Lan was so angry at this retort that she was shaking all over, and her hands were shaking as she pointed at Yuan Wei. She felt extremely wronged and angry.

Yuan Wei covered her face with a fan, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a smug smile.

You little brat, you want to stand on your superior position and discipline and criticize me. Don’t you know your own worth?

Over the years, the relationship between Yuan Lan and Yuan Wei has become increasingly tense.

Yuan Lan didn't know why, but every time she saw Yuan Wei, she would feel irritated and uneasy, always feeling that she shouldn't be like this.

But when asked to describe what Yuan Wei wanted, she couldn't explain it clearly.

Even though Yuan Wei was the only male in the Marquis's mansion and her elder brother, she could never get close to him.

This feeling made her very distressed, and she disliked Yuan Wei even more.

By chance, she learned that her mother also disliked her elder brother. Yuan Lan hated Yuan Wei even more, and she had every reason to hate her.
