Where is my Eldest Brother?

"Yes, there's something I need to trouble County Owner with." The Aunt Lan laughed.

"Go ahead." Wei Ruo Yi said.

"It's been almost a year since the Great General left." "I don't know when I'll be back. I originally wanted to go to State Protecting Temple tomorrow to pray for the great general's blessings. But now, there were all sorts of troublesome things that he couldn't leave his home, would County Owner be willing to take his place? County Owner also knew that it was the right time to collect the rent. The accounts sent back from various places were as plentiful as a cow's hair, they could not even read through the whole night. Afraid of making a mistake, he didn't dare to slack off at this moment. If County Owner is willing to go, that would be for the best. " After she finished speaking, she was afraid that Wei Ruo Yi would be displeased, so she added on, "The scenery over at State Protecting Temple's side is very beautiful right now, so County Owner won't feel bored on the way. Think of it as going out to play. "

In fact, Wei Ruo Yi had always suspected Aunt Lan's motives, but she was moved.

Right now, the thing that the Wei Residence was relying on was her father, who had never met her but was rather powerful. Of course she didn't want anything to happen to the Ziyi marquis. So it was only right to pray for him.

Since Aunt Lan wanted her to leave the capital at this time, she had her own reasons and plans. No matter what, she only needed to wait and see. If someone wanted to harm you, they would always think of a way to get here. It would be better to be on guard and not let the situation get out of hand.

"Is anyone else coming with me?" Wei Ruo Yi asked.

"Eldest Young Master is our family's eldest son. Although he was born as a concubine, he still wants to go there." The Aunt Lan said.

"My Eldest Brother?" Wei Ruo Yi frowned, "Isn't he in bad health?"

"That's right, but at least do something for the Wei family." The Aunt Lan laughed.

"Alright, I understand. Walking with Eldest Brother, are you leaving tomorrow?" Wei Ruo Yi asked.

"Yes." The Aunt Lan laughed.

"How many days?" Wei Ruo Yi asked again.

"Blessing is nine days. County Owner can play outside for a few days, which is around half a month." The Aunt Lan said.

Half a month of free travel was not bad! Go! Wei Ruo Yi pondered.

Seeing Wei Ruo Yi agree, Aunt Lan heaved a sigh of relief.

Just this one morning, she had already received a few invitations to invite Wei Ruo Yi to participate, they were all parties held by the noble houses of the Wang family. She had already withheld it. It would be better to let her daughter attend such a gathering. As for Wei Ruo Yi, he just needed to find a reason and let her leave for a short period of time. People could always forget about it, and there were a lot of different things in Yan Jing City, so as long as it lasted a little longer, it would calm down. When Wei Ruo Yi came back, her daughter's reputation would also slowly spread.

Originally, she had been thinking that if Wei Ruo Yi wasn't willing, she could report to the Old Ancestor and gather the Old Ancestor and Wei Ruo Yi to go together. Now that Wei Ruo Yi had agreed, she did not have to go through all this trouble.

When Wei Ruo Yi returned to the Hou Mansion, he had already seen his sister, but not his brother and brother.

The eldest son, Wei Yan, rarely came out of her own courtyard because of her body. As for the other male servant of the house, her name was Wei Rong and she was currently in the academy. It was said that she was about to go to the Autumn Festival, so she did not stay in the manor.

Since he was going with Eldest Brother tomorrow, after thinking for a bit, Wei Ruo Yi decided to bring Lv Rui and Lv E to winter plum garden.

This winter plum garden was in the most remote corner of the Hou Mansion.

When Wei Ruo Yi felt that he was about to faint, Lv Rui finally said that he was about to reach.

It was late autumn and the leaves of the wall-climbing tigers had already turned yellow. Most of them had withered away, leaving behind only dark-brown vines wrapped around the walls, giving it a desolate appearance.

It was the furthest from the main house, so there were more fallen leaves on the road. It seemed like the servants here didn't care much about cleaning the place.

A Moon Gate separated the winter plum garden s. The black paint on the mountain had been peeled off quite a bit, and was a bit mottled.

Lv E went forward and knocked on the door. After a long while, there was a reply and after waiting for a while, an old servant came to open the door.

The old man bent his waist and looked at Wei Ruo Yi for a long time before recognizing him. He took a step back in fear and was about to bow with a trembling voice, "This old servant greets Chong'an County Lord."

Before he could kneel, Wei Ruo Yi supported him.

If not for the name "winter plum garden" written on a plaque on the Yue Clan's door, Wei Ruo Yi almost thought that she had walked into the wrong place, she would never have thought that this golden and dazzling Marquis's Mansion would actually be so desolate.

After entering the winter plum garden, the feeling became even stronger.

Wei Ruo Yi rubbed his eyes.

The grass hut at the end of a small patch of Merlin?

Wei Ruo Yi walked over, just as a woman was about to open the door, "Father, who is it?" She was dressed in a half-new, floral dress, her face was without makeup. Her hair was tied back with a square of kernels, and other than a red onyx earring, there was nothing else on her body.

She looked up and saw Wei Ruo Yi. Her hands trembled and she almost threw the basket away.

"County Owner ?" She stuttered and quickly knelt down with her eyes lowered, "Your concubine greets Chong'an County Lord."

Wei Ruo Yi could tell from her words that she was a sinner in Aunt Mei.

On the way back, she had heard from Lv Rui that when she was young, Aunt Mei took care of him for a period of time. In the end, something happened and Wei Rong almost lost his life, so when the General Wei was enraged, if it wasn't for the fact that Wei Yan was his son, he would have already been kicked out of Aunt Mei's house.

"Please rise Aunt Mei." Wei Ruo Yi stepped forward and helped the Aunt Mei up. When he was close enough, he took a careful look at the Aunt Mei's appearance.

In truth, she was around the same age as Aunt Lan. It was just that because they had lived a bitter life here, the corner of her eyes were already filled with fine lines, and she did not dare to look at Wei Ruo Yi, as the other aunties had properly taken care of her. She tried her best to keep her brows tightly knitted, not daring to look at Wei Ruo Yi.

In fact, just from his appearance alone, Wei Ruo Yi didn't feel that the Aunt Mei had such a malicious heart that he would make a move on a little kid. On the contrary, she felt that Aunt Mei was someone who was extremely afraid of matters of the heart.

"Where is my Eldest Brother?" Wei Ruo Yi asked slowly.
