Kneel down and beg to return to the field

As Marshal Wei and the others expected, King Anping hastily rose up and led the mob to be vulnerable.Less than a month after the anti-flag was launched, they were already defeated by the imperial army. Marshal Wei and He Shangshu sometimes even worried that Wei would come and go late and would not get a share of the pie.

As the news of success spread frequently, Lord Shang Shu's heart gradually returned to his stomach——Wei Lai was indeed as Marshal Wei said, she was brave and good at fighting, and her name frequently appeared in the news of success.

That's good.

After this scene, this young and skilled general will inevitably come into the eyes of the emperor, and his future will be bright.At that time, her thoughts of resigning from office and disarming her army would be nothing but fantasies, and if the young lady of his Shangshufu married, she would not lose her position.

Master Shangshu thought very well, he and Marshal Wei had planned everything into it, and even before Wei Lai returned triumphantly, they had already calculated her military merits and promoted positions.As soon as she comes back, she will be promoted to a noble, and then take advantage of the opportunity to ask the emperor to be a matchmaker to set a wedding date, and marry her daughter in a grand manner, so that the gossip of those idlers can no longer be uttered!

Unfortunately, there is a saying called "everything is unpredictable".

Recently, the people in the capital have another topic to talk about after dinner. Although it is a bit clichéd, people still enjoy it...

"Have you heard? The eldest lady of the He family killed her fiancé again. This is the fourth one!"

"I knew it a long time ago. When General Wei and Miss He got engaged, I knew that he won't live long! Look, it's only been a while, and he's gone."

"That's not true! If you want me to tell you, Mr. He is not a good person. He knows his daughter Kefu, but he still hurts her like this. It's also the general Wei who just returned to Beijing and doesn't know anything, otherwise he would dare to accept this marriage. !"

"Poor thing, I heard that there is only an old lady left in General Wei's family. She just arrived in the capital and was originally here to enjoy the blessings. I didn't expect that the white-haired person would give away the black-haired person. How will you live in the future?" .”

……

In just a few days, the matter of "He Zhikefu" has once again spread in the capital.The reason is that news came from Gyeongju two days ago that General Wei, who had been through all the way before, had an accident. He missed a shot on the battlefield, but luckily fell off a cliff.

If such an accident happened on the battlefield, most likely he would not survive.

It's really nothing to die on the battlefield.Not to mention a fourth-rank general, even if a first-rank marshal died on the battlefield, it would only be a sigh of relief, which is not surprising.

It's just that this little general of the fourth rank is the fiancé of that "Kefu" Ms. He!As a result, everything seemed unusual again, and it also gave those long-tongued people more grounds for talking.

"Xi Qiu, are everything ready?" He Zhi sat in front of the dressing table, looked through the bronze mirror in front of her and looked at Xi Qiu who was combing her hair behind her, and asked in a flat tone.

Ever since Changning Town picked up Mrs. Wei back, He Zhi always went to Wei's house every three or two days after she settled her down.It's not that she doesn't want to take Mrs. Wei to live with her, but she and Wei Lai are not married after all, and Wei Lai is a man when he is away, so how can he take the "future mother-in-law" into her home.

It's just that there have been a lot of things at home these past few days, and He Zhi hasn't visited Wei's house for five whole days.Japan also has things to do today, but she was really worried, so she got up early and planned to go to Wei's house first when she had time.

The bronze mirror in front of her was slightly blurred, and Xi Qiu behind her was not very real. He Zhi vaguely felt that Xi Qiu looked different, but before she could take a closer look, Xi Qiu behind her had already responded: "Miss Don't worry, it's ready."

"En." He Zhi responded softly, and then slightly closed her eyes.

Seeing this, Xi Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, but the worry in his heart never abated.

Mrs. He is a good housekeeper, and the Shangshu Mansion has been governed like an iron wall in her hands. As long as there is news that she doesn't want to spread, no matter how much it spreads outside, the mansion will not hear a word.Xi Qiu has gone out once in the past few days, so he knows what he should know, but her young lady...

Xi Qiu was worried, but she didn't know that Ms. He already had a bad guess in her heart - whether it was the abnormal busyness of the past few days, or Xi Qiu's gaffe just now, they were all reminding her that there seemed to be something bad going on. happened.

He Zhi has always been extremely intelligent, but at this moment she closed her eyes, but she didn't want to think too much about what the bad thing would be.Because as long as you think about it distractedly, even without thinking carefully, all the spearheads seem to be directed at one person, one thing...

"Miss, it's done." Xi Qiu's soft voice came from behind.

He Zhi opened her eyes when she heard the words, glanced into the bronze mirror, and then nodded lightly, but did not realize that Xi Qiu combed her hair twice as slowly as usual today: "Go and order to prepare, we will do it right away." Let's go out."

Hearing this, Xi Qiu glanced outside the house, and there were still only a few servants sweeping the yard and a little maid waiting for orders, so she lowered her eyes slightly and answered "Yes", and walked out unhurriedly.

When he was out of He Zhi's sight, Xi Qiu's steps became a little more impatient.She hurried to the courtyard gate, and before she could go further, she bumped into Mrs. He who had arrived early, so she hurriedly said, "Ma'am, Miss is going out!"

Mrs. He obviously came here for this reason too. Although she was not as restless as Xi Qiu, her expression was not relaxed, she frowned slightly and said: "Be careful on the way, don't let those gossips fall into Zhi'er's ears .”

He Zhi's temper seems to be gentle, but there is a stubbornness in her bones, plus she is always smart, Mrs. He dare not stop her from going out, otherwise she is afraid that things will backfire.But she was even more worried about letting people out. After all, "Kefu"'s reputation is not good, and General Xiao Wei is no better than the former ones. The two have really gotten along, and there is always some affection.

And with love, knowing this will make it even more sad!

Xi Qiu nodded after listening to the order, but the worry in his eyes did not weaken at all: "Those gossips of idlers are naturally not in the ears of the young lady, but madam, the old lady of the Wei family..."

The capital city is no better than Changning Town, not to mention the well-informed people here, there are also Wei Lai's old troops in the Dingbei Army who occasionally visit Wei's house.Perhaps the people in the Northern Army may have told Aunt Wei the news, even if she went out for a few laps by herself, she would have heard the news that should be heard.If I don't mention how sad she will be, I'm afraid she will vent her anger even more!

Mrs. He obviously thought of this too, she pursed her lips, and her face, which was [-]% similar to He Zhi's, was obviously worried and distressed.After thinking about it, he finally said: "Xi Qiu, go and tell Miss, today I will go to Wei's house with her."

※※※

Madam He's company made He Zhi even more uneasy. Although it was normal for Madam He to follow her to visit her future mother-in-law whom she hadn't seen for a long time, the behavior of the people in the mansion these two days was really too unusual.

On the carriage to Wei's house, He Zhi finally couldn't help asking: "Mother, what happened? Why have you and Xi Qiu been acting weird these two days?"

In fact, He Zhi already had some guesses in her heart, her hands hidden under the loose sleeves had already unconsciously clasped tightly together.But on the face, he was still plain. After asking this question bluntly, he stared at Mrs. He closely, hoping to see something from her face, or to hear an answer that would make her feel at ease .

Mrs. He remained silent after hearing the question, she looked at He Zhi silently, the helplessness and sigh in her eyes already explained everything.

The blood on He Zhi's face finally receded, but even though she had already guessed it, even though Mrs. He had confirmed it, even though her face was pale, she still didn't believe it in her heart - when she went, Wei Lai once said, wait for her to come back!

After seven years of fighting on the battlefield, this person has been through life and death several times, but didn't he come back in good order?This time, it was just a mob, so how could they deserve to keep her life behind? !

He Zhi bit her lower lip tightly, refusing to believe it.It wasn't until we arrived at Wei's house, seeing Mrs. Wei who seemed to have aged ten years in the past few days, that the string that was tense in my heart finally broke...
