Do you know: I have a different surname: Wang, uncle Minglan

Chapter 16 Siblings’ Conversation
Wei Shuyi had many things to say to Wei Yuan.

The two siblings have not seen each other for many years, and the feeling of missing them is beyond words.

However, Wei Yuan was not in a hurry, but first looked at the courtyard where Wei Shuyi lived.

It is not big, with only a few houses, and it is very simple, but there is no shortage of the most basic daily necessities, such as tables, chairs, benches, etc.

It's just that it's not at all like the treatment of the master in Tongpan Mansion.

After all, no matter what, Wei Shuyi is Sheng Hong's concubine.

"I live a great life here, you don't have to worry about anything."

Wei Shu didn't want Wei Yuan to worry about her as a sister.
"Stop turning around. What's there to see? Sit down quickly. Sister has many things to ask you."

Hearing the sound, Wei Yuan looked at the room where Wei Shuyi lived, then picked up Xiao Minglan and asked:
"Minglan, tell your uncle, have you and your mother suffered a lot of grievances at home?"

Wei Shuyi hurriedly said: "Where have you been wronged?"

Minglan wanted to say something, but when she heard her mother's voice, she immediately shut up.

Wei Yuan said displeasedly:
"Sister, please don't lie to me. This house even deprives you of your property, let alone other things? You are pregnant now, and they all treat you like this."

Wei Shu interrupted: "Maybe there is some misunderstanding."

Xiaodie was dissatisfied and said, "Miss, what is the misunderstanding?"

Wei Shuyi glared at her so hard that she didn't dare to say anything.

Wei Yuan looked at Minglan in his arms. Her fleshy appearance was quite endearing. Wei Yuan couldn't help but feel comfortable and asked with a smile:

"Minglan, tell me, have your family ever criticized you? Leave your mother alone and tell your uncle what you know."

Wei Shuyi frowned and said, "Minglan is still a little girl. She doesn't understand anything. Why do you ask her?"

The tone was quite unkind and seemed to threaten Minglan.

Minglan was always in awe of her mother. She wanted to say something, but she didn't dare to say it. She felt very aggrieved.

Seeing this, Wei Yuan said bluntly: "Minglan, don't be afraid of your mother, uncle will support you."

Minglan said bluntly, "Uncle, not only did they deduct charcoal, but they also deducted my mother's monthly salary and food."

Wei Shuyi frowned deeply, "What a child says doesn't count."

Wei Yuan's face was cold.

At that time, if his eldest sister Wei Shu was not willing to sell it to the Sheng family, he might have starved to death.

Therefore, in his heart, no one in this world is more important than Wei Shuyi.

If something happened to Wei Shuyi in the Sheng family, he would rather give up his future and let the people in the Sheng family know what the consequences would be.

After serving as a soldier for a long time, you may not have learned any other skills, but your temper has definitely improved. If you don't have any bloodiness, how can you fight with the enemy?

"Sister, if it weren't for the fact that my parents still have a younger brother, you wouldn't have been sold to the Sheng family. After my parents passed away, you and my second sister will be my younger brother's closest relatives."

"Now that I'm rich, I can't let you suffer any more."

"My little brother has hurt you for half your life, so I will do my best to make you worry-free for the rest of your life."

Hearing Wei Yuan say this.

Wei Shuyi was extremely moved, but she didn't want Wei Yuan to be distracted by her affairs.

"Don't say it's so serious. I'm doing fine in the Sheng family."

Wei Yuan knew his sister's temperament, so he just steered the conversation elsewhere.

"Sister, let me tell you about my experiences over the years."

With that said, he released Minglan from his arms.

Wei Shuyi sat on the chair and watched Wei Yuan talk eloquently, detailing his experiences in recent years, sometimes feeling happy and sometimes worrying.

Minglan stood beside the two of them and listened carefully.

When Wei Yuan finished speaking.

Wei Shuyi suddenly clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and murmured: "Mom and Dad, now my little brother is ready to make a living. Your two elders can rest in peace in heaven."

After a pause, she opened her eyes and said, "Is the British Master really accepting you as his disciple?"

Wei Yuan smiled and said, "Otherwise, how could my little brother, He De, win a battle and be personally appointed as the training envoy of the Daizhou regiment by the official?"

Wei Shuyi was extremely surprised, "That's the Duke of the country!"

As Sheng Hong's concubine, she naturally knew about the recent affairs of the Sheng family.

Sheng Hong put a lot of effort into marrying his daughter into an earl's palace.

But what about his younger brother? He was directly accepted as a direct disciple by the majestic Duke!
What a blessing!

The more Wei Shuyi thought about it, the more shocked he became.

"The British Duke can be said to be a nobleman of our Wei family." "Little brother, you must study hard with the Duke of Guo and don't slack off."

Wei Yuan nodded, "This is natural, sister. Now our Wei family is no longer a soft persimmon and can be manipulated by others at will."

"You don't have to be as cautious in the Sheng family from now on. With my little brother here, you don't have to worry about anything."

Wei Shuyi cried with joy, "My little brother has grown up so much that he can support his sister."

Ming Lan, who was standing next to him, also had a smile on his face.

"How long will you stay in Yangzhou?" Wei Shuyi asked.

Wei Yuan responded: "In about two or three days, I will go to see my second sister again. After arranging some things, I will go to the capital to thank the official family, and then I will return to Daizhou."

Wei Shuyi's heart tightened, "Daizhou is a border gate. Once you leave, how long will it take you to come back?"

Wei Yuan did not dare to hide it, and said: "Without the official decree, the generals cannot leave their posts without permission. This time, when I come back, I have a name to thank the officials."

"The next time I come back it will be at least one or two years, or at most three to five years."

Wei Shu was reluctant to give up and blurted out: "So long?"

Wei Yuan said: "The border is not peaceful, the new emperor of Liao is very ambitious, and the monarch of Xixia, Li Yuanhao, is also an unparalleled hero."

"The officials have always taken border security very seriously, and there is nothing they can do about it."

Although Wei Shuyi has a good heart and is extremely intelligent, she is still a female and does not know anything about politics and military affairs.

She was just a little bit sad that her little brother had just arrived but would be leaving in a few days, so she felt a little sad.

At this moment, everyone suddenly heard the noise outside the courtyard, which seemed to be quite lively.

Wei Shu explained,
"The Yuan family of Uncle Zhongqin's Mansion in the capital came to hire me. There is a wedding banquet in the mansion, and all the prominent people in Yangzhou City are here. It must be very lively today."

"My little brother, do you want to go and have a look? It will also be good for your career to get acquainted with officials."

Wei Yuan asked, "Sister, are you going? My younger brother is here, so there is no need to worry too much."

Wei Shu shook his head and said, "It's not in line with etiquette."

Wei Yuan said: "My sister is not going, and my little brother is not going either. I will stay here with my sister."

"My little brother is a military commander. Only by going into battle and killing enemies can you achieve success. There is no need to get to know any officials."

Minglan pouted and wanted to say something, but after hearing Wei Yuan's words, she fell silent.

Seeing this, Wei Yuan asked curiously: "Girl Ming wants to go?"

Minglan said: "If uncle doesn't go, I won't go either."

This was the first time she saw her biological uncle, and a long-lost sense of intimacy came to her heart. Compared to the excitement outside, she wished she could spend more time with her uncle.

Wei Yuan looked at Minglan, and instantly thought of some interesting things from his childhood, and said:

"When I was your age, I wanted to go out and play all day long, but I didn't want to play with the neighbor's children. Your aunt bothered me a lot."

"At that time, the only one who was willing to take me to play was your mother. Then one day I was beaten by some children from the neighborhood. Your mother was so noisy that she took the tools of the family and tried to beat the others."

"I was shocked at the time. Later, when the children from the countryside knew that I had an elder sister to support me, they no longer dared to cause trouble for me."

Minglan's eyes suddenly widened and she looked at her mother, feeling incredible.

In her impression, her mother was always quiet and elegant, how could she do such a thing?

"Uncle, you are lying! My mother is so gentle, how could she risk her life for others?"

"Besides, you are a general, how many children can you defeat?"

Minglan didn't believe it.

Wei Yuan laughed twice and said, "I was not a general at that time. If you don't believe me, ask your mother yourself."

Minglan looked at Wei Shuyi again.

The latter glared at Wei Yuan, "How long has it been? Why do you still remember?"

After a pause, she looked at Minglan again,

"They hired your eldest sister. You, the younger sister, need to go outside and take a look."

Hearing this, Minglan shook her head and said, "No, I want to stay with my uncle."

Wei Shu smiled and said, "Your uncle can't run away."

Minglan looked at Wei Yuan, "Then I'll go and come back. Uncle, don't leave. I have a lot to say to you!"

Wei Yuan touched her little head and said, "Okay, uncle isn't going anywhere, he's just waiting for you here."

After a pause, he looked at the scout Li Chuan not far away, who had now become his personal guard, and said:
"There are many people outside, follow this girl and protect her."

Li Chuan bowed solemnly and said, "No."
