Wei Tingyu's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked straight at Xiaocao, while Xiaocao looked back at him without avoiding the gaze.
"I know that my power alone is limited, but if I can save as many people as possible, I know that..."
"good."
Xiaocao stopped talking abruptly, and the expression on her face was even a little blank. She probably didn't expect Wei Tingyu to compromise so easily. She opened her mouth, but didn't seem to know what to say.
Wei Tingyu found this a little funny. Was it really that unexpected
"But Xuan'er, you should know that this matter cannot be accomplished just by my consent. I will not help you convince others."
Xiaocao certainly knew that if she really wanted to go to Northern Frontier, there would be more than one or two people trying to stop her.
Xiao Cao seemed to have finally digested it and laughed, "It's enough that you agree. You don't have to be a lobbyist. If you go and speak, you'll just be asking for trouble." If he wasn't stopped and still dared to be a lobbyist, Emperor Xuanren would probably throw a cup at his head.
Wei Tingyu was helpless, "I will still be scolded even if I don't say it." He has three "fathers-in-law" above him, and probably only Doctor Lin would not make things difficult for him. After all, he should be the one who understands Xiaocao's thoughts and ideas best. In fact, it's not just the "fathers-in-law", there are also the mother-in-law, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, and even Xuan'er's close friends.
Prince Wei, who was usually calm and composed, felt his scalp tingling uncontrollably when he thought of that scene.
But what can he do? Looking at the look in his daughter Xuan'er's eyes, he can only compromise. Therefore, he must try to overcome other hardships no matter how difficult they are. Because it is difficult for these people to refute anything, he can only endure it.
Xiaocao could probably imagine the situation that Wei Tingyu would face, and hugged him with some heartache, but there was nothing else to do.
That night, they went to Wenrenjia again. In fact, they went to Wenrenjia quite frequently.
—In the entire imperial city, perhaps only the fourth and seventh daughters of the Wen family go back to their parents' home as often as eating and drinking. For other married-out daughters, if there is nothing going on in their parents' home, they may not go back once in a year or two. Some people say that their behavior is unbecoming, while others envy them. After all, it is really hard to find such a generous and magnanimous in-law, even if it may not be out of their own will.
Han was naturally happy that her daughter and son-in-law came back, and at this time, everyone who should go home had also returned.
The people in the eldest house gathered together to eat, and there was no distinction between men and women.
After the meal, while sitting and talking to digest the food, Xiaocao expressed his thoughts.
The originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly became silent. Even Wen Renyang, who was still distracted as usual, couldn't help but look at Xiao Cao with a frown on his face, but he was not in a hurry to express his opinion.
As daughters-in-law, Youshi and Mengshi, one held the two children, while the other held a child in her arms, to tell them not to make any noise.
"Xuan'er, have you made up your mind?" Han spoke first.
Unexpectedly, Han was very calm. She was not like before when Xiaocao proposed to leave the imperial city and she strongly opposed it at the first time. Or maybe, after doing it twice or three times, she had become accustomed to it, and once Xiaocao made up her mind, she would not easily compromise just because they opposed it.
"Mom..." Xiaocao didn't know how to start talking when she said that.
Han waved her hand, "Okay, go ahead. I can't stop you anyway. But it's freezing cold in the northern border, so you must bring everything you need, and bring more people. Although, as a doctor, you are in the rear and there shouldn't be any danger, but you must always be prepared for any eventuality and never leave anyone by your side."
Han said this almost with great pain in her heart.
Xiaocao felt very uncomfortable, but she would still "act recklessly". "Don't worry, mother, I will pay attention."
Han stood up and said, "I'll go pack your things for you." She went out without even looking at Xiaocao. She was afraid that she would regret it after seeing it. The situation this time was different from the previous two times. However, the threat of the epidemic was no less.
Behind them, Youshi and Mengshi also stood up and expressed their willingness to help, and followed them out.
Wenren Taibo sighed, obviously helpless about Xiaocao. He turned his gaze to Wei Tingyu. The young master Wei was sitting upright with his eyes lowered.
"Tingyu, you want to..."
Wei Tingyu raised his eyes and smiled, "Of course I will go with Xuan'er. It should be no problem to ask the emperor for a military supervisor."
Xiaocao turned her head to look at him. She hadn't said this before. She naturally didn't want Wei Tingyu to follow him. Even though he was similar to ordinary people now, he had a weak constitution and a low body temperature. He suffered a lot in the harsh environment.
As if they had telepathic connection, Wei Tingyu looked at Xiaocao, "Xuan'er, do you still want me to stay in the imperial city? I won't stop you, and you shouldn't stop me either. Wherever you go, I will go. In other families, the husband follows the wife, but in our family, the wife follows the husband." His smile was gentle and his expression did not allow for any objection. He also had his own bottom line.
Xiaocao pursed her lips and said nothing.
The others were inexplicably impressed by Wei Tingyu's performance.
Later, although the people from the Wen family did not scold Wei Tingyu, they did not look happy either. It was as if they had returned to the days before he married Xiaocao. Master Wei was used to it and was calm.
The next day, Wei Tingyu accompanied Xiaocao into the palace.
When Emperor Xuanren learned about this, his eyebrows unconsciously frowned, "An Guo, why did you learn that stupid thing instead of learning something good..."
"Father, you once asked me to learn more from the young master."
Emperor Xuanren choked suddenly.
