Wanjin Lady

Chapter 485 Going Home
Wei Zheng sat back in the wheelchair, but after practicing for a while, he was sweating all over.

"How can I be slow?" Wei Zheng wiped his sweat with a handkerchief. "Zhao Zhao and Hun Ge'er are already grown up. If I, as a father, can't stand up, how can I protect them from the wind and rain in the future? Hun Ge'er can already walk now, and I want to teach him horseback riding and archery myself..."

Zhao Heng patted his chest with a righteous look, "Don't worry, my Lord. If you really can't stand up, I can teach you how to ride a horse and shoot arrows..."

Wei Zheng: ...

Wen Wan, who eavesdropped: ...

Sometimes, when a person is inexplicably targeted, there is a reason for it.

Wen Wan knew that Wei Zheng didn't like others seeing him in such a miserable state, so after a moment's hesitation, she left and went to the backyard to meet her adoptive father and Liu.

"Hey, the girl is back!"

Aunt Chen was the first to see her. She was so happy that she hurried out of the house to greet her. Her shout immediately made Wen Weiming and Liu stick their heads out.

Wen Wan strode in and saw that Zhao Zhao and Hun Ge'er were already able to stand up with the help of the cradle armrests, walking unsteadily.

Their walking posture is similar to their father's.

"Zhao Zhao, Hun'er!"

Wen Wan first kissed and hugged the two children, hugged and kissed them again.

When Wen Wan came back, the people in the courtyard immediately got busy. Wen Wan saw that there were more than a dozen people serving inside and outside the courtyard. There was also a special manager in the inner courtyard, who was Meng Yuanjie's mother.

This mother has a similar temperament to Meng Yuanjie, and her family are all honest people. Even though Wen Wan has no status at the moment, she seems to be sure that Wen Wan will be the future mistress of the Marquis' Mansion. When the mistress returns home, this mother has already prepared hot tea, hot soup and handkerchiefs.

As if she knew that this family had something to say, the mother thoughtfully asked someone to keep watch before leaving and took other servants with her.

After everyone had left, Wen Weiming looked at Wen Wan worriedly, "The Marquis said that the Empress valued you, so she kept you here to talk and keep you company. Your mother and I both knew it was an excuse, but we were too embarrassed to ask more questions. Tell me quickly, did the Empress give you any trouble when you entered the palace this time?"

"If I say I'm not in trouble, my parents probably won't believe me."

Having said that, Wen Wan looked normal with a faint smile on her face, and didn't look like she was in any trouble at all.

"The Empress taught me poetry, literature, and etiquette. Although strict, she was not harsh."

"Father and mother can understand that their daughter went to the academy and met a strict teacher."

"Although the Empress resents me for deceiving Wei Zheng into becoming her live-in son-in-law, now that I've let go of my anger, I think she won't hold a grudge." Wen Wan thought of the Duke again. "The Wei family are all upright people. They wouldn't do anything like mistreating a younger generation."

A few words put Wen Weiming and Liu at ease. "When you entered the palace, your mother and I were most worried that your stubborn temper would contradict the Empress. We were also afraid that the Empress would treat you harshly. Now that I think about it, we were judging others by our own standards."

The family sighed a bit, saying that the Wen family had wronged the Wei family. However, Wen Wan was only concerned about Wei Zheng's legs. "Father, I haven't been home these past few days. Has the doctor said anything about... the Marquis's leg injury?"

Liu Yiyi sighed. "That doctor, Yuan Zheng from the Imperial Hospital, and Doctor Luo from the Rejuvenation Clinic in Kyoto, come here every day. I even went to ask about them the other day. They said the Marquis' knee was hit by a huge rock. Even if he practices diligently now, he can only maintain his daily life. If he wants to recover and be able to wield spears and clubs like before... I'm afraid it's as difficult as climbing to the sky."

Wen Wan pursed her lips, her heart slowly sinking, and then she smiled faintly, "It doesn't matter. I'm already satisfied to be able to get out of the island alive. I won't despise him no matter what he looks like. Moreover, if he hadn't protected me, I would have become a ghost long ago."

Whenever the topic of Wei Zheng's legs was brought up, the Wen family members fell silent.

After a while, Wen Weiming coughed softly, "They say a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring. Previously, it was unreasonable for our family to accept a son-in-law and kill the father to keep the son. This time, the son-in-law risked his life to save you, which is enough to show his sincerity towards you. Before, we were worried about the four words "equal status" and feared that the powerful Wei family would look down on our Wen family. But these past few days, the Marquis has been visiting us every morning and evening, just like when he was in Ping County, and he has also allowed our whole family to live in the Marquis' Mansion. You can't find a son-in-law like him even if you search with a lantern."

Wait a minute? Wei Zheng performs daily morning and evening self-reflection?

This is an attempt to usurp her position as the eldest daughter!

Wen Wan even suspected that this set of combination punches was his routine!

For some reason, Liu smiled brightly. "My son-in-law is a sincere man. He's good to you and our two children. We are very confident in him. So your father and I discussed this. We think that you and the Marquis have gone through so much hardship to be together. We must not let this fate be severed by marriage."

Wen Wan heard the hidden meaning and blinked.

Wen Weiming said, "I know you don't care whether the two children have the surname Wei or Wen. You just want to save face for an old man like me in front of the clan members."

Wen Wan was silent for a moment. "No matter what Zhao Zhao and Hun Ge'er's surnames are, they are my children."

Wen Weiming said: "Then whether you marry or marry into a family, you are still my daughter."

Wen Wan looked at her adoptive father with tears in her eyes.

The cheap father also looked at Wen Wan with slightly red eyes.

Terrible.

What's going on with this sudden atmosphere of father-daughter confession?

My cheap dad, I still like your rebellious look from the past.

Liu smiled and stood between the father and daughter. "This is a happy occasion. Why are you two... crying?"

Liu held Wen Wan's hand again. Even as she spoke, tears streamed down her face. "I've seen how much suffering you've endured in the past two years. It's really not easy for you to shoulder the burden of the family at such a young age. So your father and I are suggesting that you marry into the Marquis's mansion as a second wife, and that your two children take the surname Wei."

Liu smiled bitterly again, "Speaking of which, I have no choice in the surnames of the two children."

Everyone knows this matter very well. How can they, just merchants, compete with Queen Wei?
Wen Wan was stunned. "But what will you do? If I marry out of the Wen family, who will take care of you in your old age?"

Wen Weiming patted her head and asked, "Could it be that after you get married, you won't care about me and your mother anymore?"

"That's not the case..."

Wen Wan couldn't say it.

She just instinctively hated the word marriage.

She didn't hate marrying Wei Zheng, but she hated being called Mrs. Wei from now on.

Her last name is Wen.

If you lose your surname, it is like losing your true self.

"Sister, you really look down on me!" A figure flashed outside. Wen Jing had been fooling around somewhere and came back with a flushed face. She eavesdropped halfway and snorted, "Did Sister forget that my last name is Wen too, and I'm also a member of the Wen family? Is it that only Sister is allowed to marry in, and I'm not allowed to do so in the future?"

Babies, it will be over by the end of this month or the beginning of next month.
