Chapter 72 - Defenses Against Humans

While he was in a daze, the little girl's face, which he remembered from his memories, merged with the current Wei Ruo Yi's face, becoming clearer and clearer in front of his eyes.

It was unknown if he touched the soft spot at the bottom of his heart, but the corners of Wei Yan's eyes seemed to be covered by a little bit of red.

Wei Yan looked at Wei Ruo Yi in a daze, and only after a long while did he let out a low sigh, "Whatever County Owner wants to do, let it be." She was someone her father loved dearly on top of his heart.

"Then can you not call me County Owner in the future?" Wei Ruo Yi saw that his efforts were effective, and immediately pushed the point away. "Call me plush clothes."

Wei Yan dryly nodded her head, while her smile became even more brilliant.

The original owner should have been very distant from the Eldest Brother. Wei Ruo Yi was already very satisfied to be able to obtain such results today. In any case, she was a piece of dog skin medicine, so it was fine to stick it onto the Eldest Brother in the future.

After lunch, Wei Ruo Yi just happened to see a servant carrying a basket towards him when he came out of winter plum garden.

"Greetings County Owner." When the servant saw Wei Ruo Yi's panicked expression, she quickly bowed to him.

"What is this?" Wei Ruo Yi slowly asked.

"Return to County Owner, this servant is here to deliver medicine to Eldest Young Master." The maidservant hurriedly nodded her head and said.

"Where did the Eldest Brother's medicine come from? What medicine is it? " Initially, she had smelled a dense smell of medicine from Eldest Brother's room. He had thought that Aunt Mei was making the medicine by herself in the grass hut.

Every day, it is delivered by a servant. There are two times in a day, and sometimes there are even three times. " The maidservant bowed as she replied.

"Oh." Wei Ruo Yi thoughtfully nodded, "Has it always been like this?"

"This servant doesn't know. This servant has been like this since the day I took over." The maid replied, "It has already been four years."

Wei Ruo Yi waved his hand, signalling for the servant to quickly go in.

When she brought Lv Rui and Lv E back to her own courtyard, she immediately told Lv Rui to go out and find out everything about the Eldest Brother.

Previously, when her grandmother was sick, she saw that someone was cooking medicine in the kitchen of her grandmother's courtyard. She thought that everyone was like that.

Lv Rui went out for a while before she returned, and told Wei Ruo Yi everything she knew.

Originally, winter plum garden made his own medicine for Eldest Young Master, but after one round of cooking, Aunt Mei fell asleep. Not to mention the medicine that had dried up, there were still sparks of fire that jumped out and burned down half of the grass hut. Even Eldest Young Master was almost burnt to death in the fire, and Aunt Mei received another punishment. General Wei was furious. In the future, the Eldest Young Master would no longer hold the medicine in his hands. Instead, he would have the large kitchen prepare it and send it to his everyday.

"Is the Aunt Mei injured?" Wei Ruo Yi asked.

"I'm hurt. A little scar on the arm. " Lv Rui said.

"Then what exactly is the illness of the Eldest Brother?" Wei Ruo Yi asked again.

"This servant does know about it." Lv Rui said, "At first, it was just a chill, but later on, it dragged on for a long time, and all of them were good and bad. That time, Aunt Mei burned her grass hut and almost burned Eldest Young Master to death. Our great general was furious and mentioned that he wanted to drive Aunt Mei out, so Eldest Young Master just knelt in the snow and ice for a day.

"Oh." Wei Ruo Yi nodded as he thought about everything.

That was why his room was so airtight, and why he coughed so heavily when he spoke a few words.

Was such a person suitable for such a long journey in late autumn?

Wei Ruo Yi frowned, he felt that something was amiss. She got up and went over to her grandmother.

Aunt Lan had to be on guard. With such a body, it was simply not suitable for him to travel. However, she arranged for the Eldest Brother to go out with her. She had to figure out something about this matter. If something were to happen to the Eldest Brother at that time, all of it would fall onto her head.

The next day, the carriages and horses were ready in front of the mansion.

The guards chose ten, there were quite a few maids and servants, and even the things Wei Ruo Yi brought with him, were all filled up to the brim with carriages.

Seeing this, Wei Ruo Yi understood that Aunt Lan had been planning this for a long time.

In a short day, how could she have prepared so well?

It should be that Aunt Lan had the intention to send him on a long journey when she was in the Duke Palace.

"Guards, don't use these." When Aunt Lan saw Wei Ruo Yi to the door, Wei Ruo Yi glanced at the people who were standing in front of the carriage and said with a smile. Even servants do not need this many. "

The Aunt Lan smiled slightly. "County Owner, from the capital to the State Protecting Temple, we still have two days to travel. We don't need to bring any guards, I'm afraid that it won't be appropriate."

It was precisely because of Lu Yuan that Wei Ruo Yi felt that everything that the Aunt Lan had arranged was not right. One had to be wary of others.

That was why she went to see her grandmother yesterday.

She had gone to find her grandmother to borrow some money from her.

Wei Ruo Yi had just returned to the Palace, and besides Lv Rui and Lv E, there were no other people who could use it. But grandmother was different. Grandmother had someone in her possession. The General Wei had left subordinates in the capital, all veterans who had fought alongside him for many years on the battlefield. They had suffered some injuries, and now that they had retreated, they had nowhere to go. Normally, when the Old Madam had orders, they would immediately gather at the Wei Residence, as they were doing farm work in the manor.

The madame had already ordered people to gather these people and enter the residence yesterday.

Wei Ruo Yi looked at the time, and saw that it was about time.

He really did come.

Wei Ruo Yi saw two groups of people approaching from far away on the street in front of the Hou Mansion. They were all dressed in black, riding black horses, with blades hanging from their waists.

When Aunt Lan saw that it was someone from the manor, she knew that it was the old lady who had gathered them here. They only listened to her orders in the residence.

"County Owner!" When they were close enough, they dismounted in unison. Their actions were crisp and clean. Even though they were quite old and had varying degrees of injuries, they appeared to be extraordinary.

"All of you, get up. Hello uncles, I'll have to trouble you to escort me this way." Wei Ruo Yi nodded and laughed.

The leader laughed, "To be able to protect the County Owner is the honor of all of us."

The Aunt Lan laughed, "They are all veterans who had fought alongside the Marquis in the manor. They are injured, how can they be compared to the guards in the mansion?"

"Aunt Lan's words are wrong." The leader's face sank. "After all, I was a field officer before I retired, so I killed countless enemies on the battlefield. Even if my leg is crippled, my skills are still intact, why can't I protect County Owner? If Aunt Lan thinks that all of us are useless, why not let the guards in the house spar with us and see who's stronger! "
