Yuan Wei's Quick Travel

Chapter 65 The Daughter of the Scholar in the Red Mansion 22

Yuan Haoxuan didn't expect that Yuan Wei could guess the reason why he didn't want to mention it just based on a "discovery".

He wanted to conceal this matter just to cover up for his sister.

It turned out that when her second uncle died, Yuan Wei wrote a letter to the capital.

His mother happened to be ill at that time, so he handed over the housework to his younger sister Yuan Xin.

When Yuan Xin received Yuan Wei's letter, she mistakenly thought it was a relative from the countryside who wanted to curry favor with their family.

Because she was young and had a quick temper, Yuan Xin put the letter away without asking any questions.

After that, she secretly hid all the letters Yuan Wei sent her.

Until recently, his mother accidentally discovered these hidden letters when she was tidying up her sister's boudoir after her marriage.

When the mother saw the letters, her expression immediately changed.

Although his mother wanted to continue covering up for his sister, she knew that the longer this matter was delayed, the angrier their father would be when he found out.

Especially since Yuan Wei mentioned in the letter that her fiancé had passed the imperial examination, whether her fiancé came to the capital or Yuan Wei followed him, he would definitely come to visit her home.

How can we continue to conceal it then?

So his mother did not choose to keep it secret, but gave the letter to his father.

This was why his father sent him back to Gusu to apologize and ask him to pay tribute to his second uncle.

Seeing that Yuan Wei was unwilling to say more, Yuan Haoxuan felt embarrassed and helpless.

He was the one who apologized and cleaned up the mess after what his sister had done.

If I had known earlier, I would have asked my sister to come and apologize to Yuan Wei, so that he wouldn't be at a loss as to what to do now.

Yuan Haoxuan saluted Yuan Wei again and said, "Sister Wei'er, this is indeed our family's fault. You have every right to vent your anger. I have no complaints here."

Yuan Wei sighed. Her cousin had already made his attitude clear, and it wasn't that they didn't take it seriously. Even if Yuan Wei wanted to blame someone, she couldn't.

He is not the culprit.

"That's not right, cousin. It was just a coincidence. No one can be sure that the other party will receive the letter they send. What's there to blame?"

Yuan Wei helped Yuan Haoxuan up and said with a slight smile.

Yuan Haoxuan looked at Yuan Wei in disbelief, as if he didn't expect her to say that.

He originally thought that Yuan Wei would take the opportunity to make things difficult for him, but when he heard her such reasonable words, he couldn't help but feel moved.

He quickly expressed his gratitude: "Sister Wei'er is such a generous person!"

Yuan Wei shook her head slightly. She understood that this matter had nothing to do with Yuan Haoxuan, and she didn't need his praise.

Yuan Haoxuan felt even more embarrassed when he saw that Yuan Wei really didn't blame them.

He scratched his head awkwardly and said softly, "My mother packed some gifts for me to bring this time. They're all in the carriage outside."

Yuan Wei nodded slightly to show that she understood.

Yuan Haoxuan greeted her, "I just heard that you're getting married in a few days. Can I carry you there?"

Yuan Wei looked at him, and after a moment of silence, she nodded, "Thank you, cousin."

Seeing that she agreed, Yuan Haoxuan's eyes flashed with joy, and he said jokingly: "Don't look at my thinness, I'm very strong! I promise not to let you fall."

The two chatted for a while, and then Yuan Wei went back to her room to rest.

When Yuan Wei returned to her room, Xiang'er asked curiously, "Miss, you've been looking forward to receiving a reply from the capital. Now that your cousin has come in person, why don't you look happy?"

Yuan Wei sighed softly and said slowly: "You think they want to come, but they are afraid of what others say, so they have to come."

After saying that, she leaned back on the couch, picked up the nine-linked ring next to her, and started playing with it silently.

After hearing this, Xiang'er asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Why did the girl say that?"

"Even if not, I'm just an outsider in their hearts. Didn't you see that he didn't say why they only received my letter recently? He's protecting others."

Yuan Wei put down the Nine Links and analyzed to them, "Obviously, in their hearts, I, their cousin, can't compare to the family members who live with them day and night. He came here this time to help cover up the truth. As long as I don't pursue it, no one will know who did something wrong."

After hearing this, Xiang'er and the others couldn't help but feel thoughtful.

Yuan Wei continued, "If that's the case, then we can just treat each other as ordinary relatives. We don't need anything from them right now. Why bother trying to please them?"

Her tone was calm and firm, as if she had seen through everything.

"Don't set your expectations too high, and they won't be able to influence you. They have people they want to protect, and I have people who love me. Who can't live without who?"

Yuan Wei said softly, with an open-minded tone in her voice.

She understood that relationships between people are not always simple, and family love is not always selfless.

She didn't want these things to affect her mood, she chose to remain calm and strong.

"That girl should kick him out. He's so disgusting." Fan Xue said angrily.

She was indignant about what happened to Yuan Wei.

"That's just another angry remark. Why would you chase someone away for no reason? What I just said was just my guess. Does anyone have any evidence?"

Yuan Wei looked at her amusedly and said, "Besides, he came to apologize and gave me gifts, so why can't I accept it? We just get along normally, so there's no need to worry too much."

When you get angry and drive someone away, it’s because you take it to heart and feel that they are not valued.

But now that they treat him as an ordinary relative, their behavior is not worth my excessive concern.

Anyway, no matter what you do, it won’t affect you.

Unless it touches her bottom line or interests.

After saying this, Yuan Wei stopped looking at them, picked up the Nine Rings again and started to solve them.

Xiang'er and the others looked at each other, then quietly retreated and stopped disturbing her.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the day before Yuan Wei's wedding.

The Tianyuan family was busy and orderly these days, and everything before the wedding was being prepared in an orderly manner.

Since meeting Yuan Haoxuan that day, Yuan Wei has never met him alone again.

From the beginning to the end, the people he had contact with were the second steward of the Lin Mansion, and when there was something that needed to be conveyed, it was the nanny who was responsible.

The only time Yuan Haoxuan went out was to pay tribute to the original owner's father.

Apart from that, he followed the butler closely, helping with wedding affairs.

His serious attitude made the entire Yuan family gladly accept him, and they truly regarded him as Yuan Wei's brother and gave him full respect.

The only exceptions were the maids around Yuan Wei.

After hearing Yuan Wei's analysis, they would always deeply analyze the reasons why Yuan Haoxuan did what he did and the possible hidden purposes behind it.

Their thinking gradually became complicated and full of conspiracy theories.

Yuan Wei watched all this with a smile on her face, letting them guess as much as they wanted.

Sometimes it doesn't hurt for girls to think a little more, right?

"Miss, your wedding dress has been modified. Do you need to try it on again?" Jill walked into the room and asked Yuan Wei, holding the exquisite wedding dress.

Yuan Wei didn't take her eyes off the book in her hand. She answered neatly, "No need. Check it carefully. If there's no problem, put it away properly."

Jill nodded, then turned and walked towards the inner room.

"I'll help you look at it."

Fanxue put down the needlework in her hands, stood up, and followed Jill into the inner room.

"Just look, don't touch it!" Fan Shuang turned around and reminded them specifically.

"I understand, housekeeper." Fanxue shouted mischievously from the inner room.

"This little girl is getting more and more presumptuous."

Fan Shuang shook her head helplessly, picked up the handkerchief that Fan Xue had just made and looked at it carefully, while still complaining to Yuan Wei.

"That's because you spoiled me." Yuan Wei replied without raising her head.

"It sounds like the girl hasn't spoiled her." Fan Shuang muttered softly.

In fact, everyone knows that girls are the ones who are spoiled the most.

Yuan Wei couldn't help laughing when she heard her mumbling, and raised her head to glance at her.

After a while, Fan Shuang suddenly asked curiously, "Aren't you nervous, young lady?"

Since returning to Gusu to get married, they have never seen the girl show any excitement or nervousness.

The girl seemed extremely calm every day, as if getting married was just an ordinary task that had to be completed.

There was neither excitement nor shyness, nor any anticipation or nervousness.

I have to say this girl is quite perceptive.

Yuan Wei looked at Fan Shuang and sighed inwardly.

She put down the book in her hand, thought for a moment, and then replied: "Well... I'm a little excited, but not nervous at all."

Her voice was calm, and her eyes looked out the window, past the thick frost.

"Anyway, no one can disrupt the rhythm of my life." Yuan Wei emphasized again.

In particular, she must not be hindered from completing her mission, and marrying Su Yuebai is her mission.

This was a fact she had already accepted when she came into this world. She was mentally prepared and therefore did not feel nervous.

In ancient times, women were not allowed to date men before marriage, and without much contact, the relationship between her and Su Yuebai was not deep.

To put it bluntly, her admiration for Su Yuebai is now limited to his appearance.

What's more, I am still in the stage of admiring his character and IQ.

These are things you can only understand better after having more exposure to them.

It's not like I'm in love with him, or I love him to death.

In that case, she might be nervous and excited at this time.

But now, her feelings for Su Yuebai are still at the initial stage of liking, far from the level of love.

So, she is not nervous about the upcoming wedding.

Fan Shuang nodded thoughtfully, as if she understood Yuan Wei's thoughts.
