Chapter 70 - Eldest Brother Wei

When Wei Ruo Yi asked about the Eldest Brother, the latter's hands trembled visibly, as if he was afraid of something.

Wei Ruo Yi said softly, "Aunt Mei, don't be afraid. I have not come here to find trouble with you, I wonder if you told me that you were going to State Protecting Temple to pray for your father?" Wei Ruo Yi suddenly remembered that Aunt Mei's identity had been demoted. It was not appropriate for her to call her Aunt, so he changed his address to Aunt Mei, appearing a little more intimate.

It was rare to see outsiders living in winter plum garden. Only when the new year came did she come out of winter plum garden to pay respects to the old mistress. Every year, he would only see Wei Ruo Yi once. He knew that this County Owner had always had his eyes set on the top, and didn't even bother to glance at her once. But today, she was so intimate.

"Yes." Aunt Mei hurriedly nodded her head. My concubine is already preparing something for Eldest Young Master to travel on. " At this point, her eyebrows were covered with a layer of grief.

Her status as an aunt had already been demoted, and she was only a lowly concubine now. Even her own son could only be called Young Master.

Wei Ruo Yi did not change his words. Calling her Aunt Mei already made her feel fear and trepidation. Then he called her Aunt Mei, which made her feel more or less at ease.

There were many rules within the mansion, and just the name itself was enough to contain all sorts of information.

"Since tomorrow is the day we will travel together, I will come today to visit Eldest Brother." Wei Ruo Yi said, "Eldest Brother's health is not good, do you need me to take care of you on the way? Aunt Mei doesn't need to be courteous with me, just tell me what kind of medicine you use normally and I'll take care of it. "

After Wei Ruo Yi finished speaking, the Aunt Mei trembled even more intensely. "I dare not, dare not. How could he dare trouble County Owner? County Owner, please come in. "

She immediately turned and led Wei Ruo Yi into the house.

Although it was a grass hut, after entering, Wei Ruo Yi was slightly gratified. The interior was well cleaned and was clean to the point there wasn't even a speck of dust. There were also some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, which made the originally unremarkable room look simple, elegant and elegant. Although Wei Ruo Yi did not know how to appreciate them, he knew that those paintings had been created by a single person.

The grass hut was not small at all. It was connected into a courtyard that was divided into two rooms. Outside the east-facing room, which faced south, was an old plum tree. The branches that passed by were simple and unadorned.

Although the house was facing the south, it did not seem to open windows often. The house had a dense smell of medicine, and the window paper was even thicker than the surrounding area, preventing the sunlight from entering. On the other hand, a carbon furnace was burning inside the house to keep warm, but the carbon was not a good carbon.

"Eldest Brother?" Seeing that there was someone leaning on a soft couch in the room, Wei Ruo Yi tried to call out.

Aunt Mei quickly lit the candles in the house.

With the light from the candle, Wei Ruo Yi could clearly see the appearance of the person on the soft couch.

He was only wearing a gray cloth robe and his waist hadn't been tied with a belt. His robe was loose and loose, making him look like a weakling. His black hair hung down to his shoulders and fell behind him. His face was half hidden in the darkness, making it difficult to see his face clearly. He leaned on the edge of the bed and sat up, seemingly unable to breathe properly. When Wei Ruo Yi heard the sound of heavy breathing, his hand that was supporting him on the edge of the bed caused Wei Ruo Yi to jump in fright.

Terribly pale, almost transparent, and with skin that was thin almost to the bone.

Wei Ruo Yi was stunned.

It was only when the man intentionally cleared his throat that Wei Ruo Yi finally regained her senses and slowly shifted her gaze upwards to clearly see his appearance.

Bai, sickly white, because of his thin body, he had a pair of eyes that were even larger than before. His black eyes were like black balls, staring at her faintly, but his appearance was extremely beautiful, even though he was already a little out of shape, one could still see the charm of his eyes. Since Wei Ruo Yi had transmigrated over, he had already seen many beautiful men, with a beauty as cold as Xiao Jin's, and a gentleness as Xiao Jin An's and Xiao Zi Ya's, but the person in front of them, who was not inferior in any way to them, had already become so sickly thin to such an extent.

"Greetings County Owner." He slowly opened his mouth, stood up after swaying for a moment, and cupped his fists as he spoke.

His voice was very clear and cold, like a clear spring that passed over a rock.

"Eldest Brother, hurry up and sit down." Wei Ruo Yi stepped forward to support him, and when she touched his arm, she was shocked once again.

Wei Yan glanced at Wei Ruo Yi with a strange expression.

His relationship with his little sister had always been very indifferent. Since he was young, he had never been able to enter his father's eyes. Compared to her, she was like a star in the sky while he was as silent as mud at the bottom of a pond.

In particular, in the past few years, his physical condition had worsened, and he rarely went out to travel. As a result, he had even less contact with the outside world. Moreover, his mother was in such a predicament. He was always cold here, so not to mention Wei Ruo Yi, even his other siblings would not come to see him, much less interact with him.

"Why is the County Owner here?" Wei Yan was also unwilling to talk too much with Wei Ruo Yi, hence she asked the direct question.

"Can't you come see the Eldest Brother if you have nothing to do?" Wei Ruo Yi knew that she was not treated favorably by others, but when she saw Wei Yan's actions, she felt an indescribable pain in her heart. Are all the calligraphy and paintings outside the Eldest Brother? " Wei Ruo Yi asked gently.

"Right." Not knowing why Wei Ruo Yi was asking, Wei Yan indifferently nodded.

"Really?" Wei Ruo Yi's eyes lit up, "The words written by Eldest Brother are so beautiful, can you teach me in the future?"

The corner of Wei Yan's mouth twitched a little. He just couldn't get sick, and didn't even go out the door.

He pursed his lips and did not say anything, but started to guess the purpose of this high and mighty County Owner, and after a long while, he slowly asked, "Even if I am willing to teach, is County Owner free to learn?"

This was awkward ? Wei Ruo Yi felt his old face turn hot again. Emma, Eldest Brother, you have hit the nail on the head with your words.

"Try to take some time to learn." It's rare for me to be able to come to see Eldest Brother. Wei Ruo Yi was thick-skinned enough to laugh it off.

In this Hou Mansion, although she was not afraid of the Aunt Lan playing tricks, but since she wanted to live in this family, she could not rely on herself. As the saying goes, one fencing, three stakes, and one gang, no matter what, she had to rope in some people for herself.

Wei Ruo Yi believed in her intuition, she had high hopes for Eldest Brother Wei.
