Yuan Wei's Quick Travel

Chapter 71 The Daughter of the Scholar in the Red Mansion 28

Capital, Yuanfu.

In the study, Yuan Hongwen looked at his eldest son who had just returned from Gusu and sighed secretly, "In other words, you didn't tell Wei'er. Why did it take us several years to find her letter?"

Yuan Haoxuan's body stiffened after hearing his father's words, and his face turned pale, but he still managed to speak: "Yes, but I have already apologized to her, and she also said that she forgave us. And she doesn't seem to take it to heart."

Yuan Hongwen frowned upon hearing this, his eyes revealing deep disappointment.

He sighed and said slowly: "Haoxuan, if you encounter this situation, would you not mind? Given her current situation and status, how could she not accept your apology?"

Yuan Haoxuan was left speechless by his father's words and could only remain silent.

Yuan Hongwen looked at his eldest son in front of him, his heart filled with helplessness and sighs.

He knew that his eldest son was good in everything. He had always been a well-behaved and obedient child with solid academic performance and a gentle and kind personality.

However, precisely because he was too honest, or even foolishly filial, he always obeyed his mother's words and never dared to disobey or refute them in the slightest.

This made him lack independent thinking and opinions, and made it difficult for him to adapt to the complex and changing official environment.

Therefore, although Yuan Haoxuan has many advantages, he does not think he can make a difference in officialdom.

In comparison, Yuan Hongwen felt that his illegitimate son Yuan Haohui was smarter and more resourceful, good at interacting with others, and more suitable for venturing out into the world.

If he had not been concerned about Haohui's status as a bastard and worried that his going to Gusu would cause Yuan Wei's dissatisfaction and disgust, he would have decided to let Haohui go to Gusu instead of Haoxuan.

Now it seems that the original choice was wrong.

If they had gone together at that time, perhaps there would have been some room for maneuver.

Thinking of this, Yuan Hongwen couldn't help but shake his head slightly, secretly regretting it in his heart.

Why didn't he think about it? Even if he told Yuan Wei about it and said that his sister had done something stupid and hid the letter, what would happen?

After all, Yuan Xin was just a child at the time. Children are bound to make mistakes, and this wasn't a fatal mistake.

As long as he explained it a little and was more sincere, who would keep holding on to it?

To put it another way, it's normal for Yuan Wei to be angry, right?

Yuan Xin was not in Gusu at all at that time, so Yuan Wei couldn't find anyone to vent her anger even if she wanted to.

As time goes by, as long as the Yuan family makes more compensation, Yuan Wei's resentment will naturally subside.

By then, even if she still has some resentment, she will restrain herself for his sake.

Let her vent a little and the matter will be over.

But what is this practice now?

What good would it do Yuan Xin to blindly cover up for herself?

Will Yuan Wei never know the truth in the future?

Can her dissatisfaction and resentment towards the Yuan family be eliminated now?

It's simply stupid! Yuan Hongwen knew in his heart that his mother must have said something to him before he set off, which made him make such a decision.

He waved his hand weakly, signaling Yuan Haoxuan to leave the study first.

He needed time to think about how to deal with him.

Yuan Haoxuan knew very well that his behavior this time might disappoint his father, and he walked out of the room dejectedly.

Standing at the door, Yuan Haoxuan felt at a loss for a moment.

Is it wrong that the mother just wanted to ensure that her sister's reputation was not tarnished?

Yuan Hongwen didn't know what Yuan Haoxuan was thinking at the moment, otherwise he might not have been able to help but slap him.

See what's inside.

You haven't even met Yuan Wei, so how can you be so sure that she will spread this matter?

Belly sinister heart of a gentleman.

Yuan Wei did not live directly in the Lin family when she went to Yangzhou this time. Instead, she first settled down in the house she bought before visiting the Lin Mansion.

"Why can't you move in? Isn't this your mother's home?" Jia Min asked Yuan Wei the first thing she asked when she saw her.

"It's not like I'll always live in my parents' house. I'm already married." Yuan Wei comforted her, "It's not far away. I can come here every day, right? Don't think I'm annoying then!"

"Hmph, you're just being picky." Jia Min was still a little annoyed.

I don’t know if it’s because of the pregnancy, but she has been in a bad mood recently and can’t control it.

Except for Lin Daiyu, everyone in the family had been yelled at by her, including Lin Ruhai.

"Oh, aunt, do you not welcome me anymore?" Yuan Wei cried fakely, "You have forgotten me now that you have someone new."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jia Min rolled her eyes at Yuan Wei. "Isn't this just my concern for you?"

"I know, thank you, auntie~" Yuan Wei smiled and took Jia Min's arm, saying coquettishly, "I just thought this would not cause you any trouble."

Jia Min sighed helplessly, "When have I ever disliked you? It's up to you. But don't forget to come and talk to me every day to relieve my boredom."

"Don't worry, I will definitely do it." Yuan Wei assured, "By the way, how is Auntie feeling recently? Is there anything uncomfortable?"

"It's okay, but my appetite is not very good. I always want to eat something sour." Jia Min touched her stomach with a happy smile on her face.

"Aunt, I'm hungry." Yuan Wei continued to act coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, my dear, if you're hungry, let's eat first!" Jia Min stood up and walked out the door with a smile.

Yuan Wei secretly winked at Lin Daiyu. Lin Daiyu couldn't help giggling at her playful look.

Ever since Yuan Wei came, the house has been filled with laughter.

Because Yuan Wei always finds various interesting topics to chat with everyone and often tells jokes to make everyone laugh, the atmosphere at home has become much more relaxed and cheerful.

Especially Jia Min, her temper gradually became gentler and she smiled more and more.

Days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye, ten months had passed. Jia Min successfully gave birth to a boy and named him Lin Huiyu. On this day, the entire Lin family was immersed in joy, and Lin Ruhai was even more delighted.

He finally realized his long-cherished wish, having both a son and a daughter, and living a fulfilling life.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was time for Yuan Wei to leave. Su Yuebai was going to the capital to take the exam.

She also has to go to the capital to complete her last mission.

Before leaving, Jia Min held Yuan Wei's hand, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, but in the end she gritted her teeth and didn't say what she wanted to say.

Yuan Wei and Su Yuebai packed their luggage and set off for the capital.

After Yuan Wei left, Lin Ruhai asked Jia Min, "What did you want to say to Wei'er just now? Why didn't you say it when it was on the tip of your tongue?"

Jia Min shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Nothing special, I just think she's not young anymore, it's time for her to have a baby. But when I say this, I feel it's not appropriate. After all, whether she gets pregnant or has a baby depends on her personal wishes."

Jia Min only recently found out that Yuan Wei was deliberately using contraception. She was shocked when she found out. She had never heard of anyone using contraception right after getting married.

Who doesn’t want to get pregnant soon?

I've only heard of taking pills to get pregnant, but I've never heard of taking contraception.

But when Jia Min heard the reason why Yuan Wei didn't want to have a baby for the time being, she fell silent.

If this was her daughter-in-law, she might not take it seriously, but this was a child whom she loved like her own daughter. Jia Min couldn't ignore it.

Yuan Wei told Jia Min that she was still young and her body had not yet fully developed. If she gave birth too early, it would not only be bad for the fetus, but also very harmful to the mother.

Yuan Wei did not want her life to be threatened by giving birth too early, so she decided to use contraception temporarily and wait for the right time to consider the issue of childbirth.

After hearing this, although Jia Min felt a little sorry, she still respected Yuan Wei's choice and expressed her understanding and support.

Yuan Wei was also reminded to take good care of her body in the future and not to overwork or expose herself to cold or heat, so as not to affect her health.

When Jia Min told Lin Ruhai about this, he said calmly: "Don't worry, she has her own ideas, and we should trust her to make the right decision."

Jia Min sighed and said, "Yeah, that's the only way I can think of it. Only Yuebai is making trouble with her, let's try someone else."

Su Yuebai knew that Yuan Wei was on contraception, and he was the first to support her.

"Let's go, let's go back. Those two devils are still making trouble at home."

In the carriage, Jia Min asked Lin Ruhai softly, "Do you think Yuebai has a good chance of passing the exam this time?"

Lin Ruhai looked serious. After a moment of contemplation, he slowly said, "Ninety-nine percent."

His tone was firm, as if he was confident.

Jia Min frowned slightly and asked, "Why are you so sure?"

Lin Ruhai smiled softly, a glint of confidence flashing in his eyes. "Yuebai is smart, studious, and talented. I've taught him personally, so I understand his abilities. Unless something unexpected happens, he'll definitely pass the exam."

Jia Min nodded, but still said with some worry: "I hope everything goes well."

Lin Ruhai comforted her, "Don't worry too much, Yuebai has the ability."

Lin Ruhai is very optimistic about Su Yuebai and has high expectations for him.

The Lin family’s children are still young. When they grow up and they are old, no one knows what will happen.

The gap in the middle is what makes people worry. Fortunately, Yuan Wei appears and brings the talented Su Yuebai with her.

Lin Ruhai taught Su Yuebai seriously and brought him around for socializing, just to support him so that he could take care of Daiyu and her brother more in the future.

Yuan Wei stood at the stern of the boat, quietly watching the figure on the shore getting smaller and smaller, and an inexplicable melancholy welled up in her heart.

She knew that after this separation, it might take a long time before she could come back here again, so she sighed silently.

Su Yuebai gently put his arm around her shoulders and asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you reluctant to leave?"

Yuan Wei smiled and said, "A little bit. But..."

Yuan Wei paused and said, "I'm still more looking forward to going to the capital with you."

Su Yuebai looked at her smiling face and turned away uncomfortably, "You come to provoke me again."

Yuan Wei looked at his red earlobes and burst out laughing.

Why is he still so easily teased? Yuan Wei leaned in his arms, silently feeling his warmth.
