Wei Yuyou knew very well that although her mother was eager for her to escape from the suffering, her father was not a man who could completely abandon his reputation. After all, he was an official and cared a lot about his reputation. He would not want a daughter to go home after a divorce.
If Wei An and Shen Chen had not been so resolute, and Li San had not handled the matter so secretly and excessively, if it had not been delayed any further, the Third Master might not have been willing to spend so much energy and cost to grant her a divorce. Even if he had granted it, the child would never have been in her hands.
Zhao Ge'er nestled his chubby body in Wei An's arms, with a smile in his black and white eyes. Wei An rubbed his chin on his head twice, and he started to giggle.
Wei An shook his head, let go of Zhao Ge'er and smiled at Wei Yuyou: "No need to thank me, we are sisters, we should take care of each other. Zhao Ge'er is still young, and after a long time, he will no longer remember what happened over there, which is good, the experience over there is always not pleasant."
No matter what, it is not a good thing to let him know that his father and grandmother are that kind of person. Wei An himself has spent his whole life in fear, and he knows that hatred is the easiest catalyst for a person to become bad, so he does not want the people around him to go through it again.
Wei Yuyou heard the hidden meaning in her words, and was stunned for a moment before slowly nodding: "You are right, he is still young now, as long as we don't mention it in front of him, he won't know what happened to him in the past, it's good this way, I don't want to raise another Li San, I just hope he can grow up safely and healthily, I will be satisfied."
She was telling the truth. Li San had disfigured her face when he pushed her during the argument. No matter what, the scar on her face could never be removed. A woman's appearance was so important. She no longer had any hope for the future, but still hoped for the best for her child.
Wei An touched Zhao Ge'er's head and said nothing.
No matter how capable she is, there is no reason for her to interfere in her cousin's marriage. After this lesson, even if the Third Madam and the Third Master still want Wei Yuyou to marry, they will definitely choose a good person for her.
At that time, she would ask Shen Chen to help investigate who that person was. She couldn't want to meet another Li San.
Thinking of Li San, her eyes turned cold again.
He who still wants to hold his son in his hands as a bargaining chip to threaten his wife and her family must not be allowed to have the child. Not only the child...
She arrived at the Marquis' Mansion in silence. After getting off the carriage, she turned around and reached out to hug Zhao Ge'er, but Shen Chen got there first.
Zhao Ge'er was also happy to be held by Shen Chen. When he saw Shen Chen reaching out his hand, he smiled as if he had obtained some fun toy, and threw himself into Shen Chen's arms and laughed.
Wei Yuyou followed behind, holding Wei An's arm hesitantly.
Her face is now ruined, her marriage is unhappy, and she can't even protect the elderly people she brings home to take care of her. She always feels inferior.
Wei An noticed it, tilted his head to look at her, and ordered the maids who came after hearing the news: "Go and report that Fifth Aunt is back."
The people below all responded in agreement, but did not dare to stare at Wei Yuyou's face, let alone gossip about him.
Wei Yuyou was grateful in his heart. He silently held Wei An's hand and rushed to the old lady's yard eager to go home.
As soon as they arrived at the old lady's yard, Aunt Hua in the corridor laughed and said, "The princess and the fifth aunt are back. The old lady and the third lady are so anxious!"
When Wei Yuyou heard about the old lady and the third lady, her eyes turned red. When the curtain was lifted and she entered the room, she saw the old lady Wei and the third lady, and she couldn't help crying.
Old Madam Wei looked at her carefully and saw that she had lost a lot of weight and even had dark circles under her eyes. She couldn't help but sigh. When she saw the wounds on her face, she was even more furious and asked Wei Yuyou, "He actually attacked you?!"
The third lady was stunned. She rushed over and stared at Wei Yuyou's face. Seeing that there was even a scab on her face, she was so shocked that she could hardly speak. After a long while, she held Wei Yuyou's face, coughed violently a few times, cried out, and called Wei Yuyou's nickname.
Wei Yuyou cried so hard and felt even more aggrieved as she nestled in her mother's arms.
It was when Zhao Ge'er was brought in by Aunt Hua that, seeing his mother crying so hard, he also started crying, and that woke them all up.
Old Mrs. Wei was old, and she couldn't bear to see the younger generations crying. She felt very upset for a moment, but she felt a little comforted when she saw Zhao Ge'er. She hurriedly asked Aunt Hua to bring the child over.
Nanny Hua came forward and handed Zhao Ge'er to her, saying softly, "He was playing with the Marquis earlier, but later he started crying and wanted to find his mother. The Marquis asked the Fourth Young Master to bring him in, saying that he might be hungry."
Zhao Ge'er was still crying and opened his arms to ask Wei Yuyou to hold him.
Wei Yuyou felt sad and scared, and said hurriedly: "Grandma, I was frightened... I'm not used to seeing strangers."
She had never been very close to Old Madam Wei before, and now that things had happened in her husband's family, she was even more fearful. Although she knew that the old lady was a kind person, she was still afraid that she and Zhao Ge'er would displease everyone.
Mrs. Wei saw it and sighed: "Has the nurse come with us? What are you eating now?"
There hasn't been a child in the mansion for a long time, and Old Madam Wei herself hasn't raised a child for many years, so she doesn't know the child's eating habits and temperament.
Wei Yuyou said hurriedly: "I've already eaten everything, so it's better to have something lighter. The shrimp and egg custard are all edible."
Old Madam Wei ordered Aunt Hua to ask the kitchen to prepare food for the child. She handed the child to Wei Yuyou and said softly, "Don't be shy. You are back home now. What are you afraid of? As long as I am alive, you will always have a place to stay."
Wei Yuyou responded with tears in her eyes, hugged Zhao Ge'er and laughed again, and said to the third wife: "Mother, it's a good thing that An An came in time, otherwise they would have threatened me with Zhao Ge'er, and I really wouldn't dare to come back."
The Third Madam gnashed her teeth in hatred. She cursed but still felt unsatisfied. She nodded and touched Zhao Ge'er's head. With red eyes, she said, "No matter what, it's good that you're back. It's good that you're back."
She had made up her mind that she would never let her daughter suffer the anger of that family again. Seeing that Zhao Ge'er was ignorant, she felt somewhat comforted. No matter what, as long as she had a child, she could make the decision to let her daughter not marry again, even if she had to stay in the mansion for the rest of her life. At most, she would just support her and would never let the child suffer that kind of hardship again.
Mrs. Wei waited until they calmed down before asking Wei An, "What's going on over there?"
Wei An simply said, "Mrs. Li refused to give up. She also has her own family. When her family sued, the government always ordered her to return home. With her in the front, the fifth sister will not be very conspicuous." (To be continued)
