Reborn Lady - Chapter 188

Wei Luo arranged for Chang Feng to keep a distance and follow them.

Several people separated at that point.

Wei Ying rode on the horse, looked back, smiled, and said to Yin Hui, “Third brother was quite easy to talk to; he is willing to bring Xiao Heng so we can ride horses.”

Yin Hui snorted, “Wait a minute. You will know.”

Yin Hui was very familiar with Dongshan, and after running half a lap, she took Wei Ying to a waterfall halfway up the mountain.

The waterfall provided a veil of privacy with the sound of rushing water.

Chang Feng led two horses and stood downstream, watching his surroundings vigilantly.

Wei Ying glanced around and turned to Yin Hui, asking, “What’s the matter, sister-in-law?”

Yin Hui sighed, looked at her, and said, “Father knows that you and I are close, so he let me probe into your thoughts. He wants to know why you don’t like Mr. Zhou or what kind of person you like.”

Wei Ying bowed her head.

Yin Hui also had to speak on behalf of her father-in-law, “Don’t blame your father for being so stubborn. We girls really can’t afford to delay marriage after the age of eighteen, and he also cares about you.” 

Wei Ying understood and didn’t blame her father.

She just didn’t want to force herself to marry someone she didn’t like.

She knew that she and Cui Yu were not suitable, and she didn’t have to force it, but her father and mother insisted on picking someone for her to marry.

Yin Hui looked at the blue sky in the distance and said to herself, “Actually, there are only three ways. One is that you wrong yourself to follow Father’s wishes and marry Mr. Zhou or someone else. Father will be pleased, and Young Master Cui will be safe and sound. The second thing, if you don’t want to wrong yourself, you have to bet on your father’s love for you. Of course, it’s good if you win the bet. Once you lose, your father will definitely have a grudge against Young Master Cui…”

“No, I will never go the second way!” Wei Ying said anxiously. She had such an impulse, but she was reminded by the third sister-in-law, so she had completely dismissed the idea.

Yin Hui held her hand and said in a low voice, “Then there is only a third way left; let’s find a way so that your father will stop urging you to marry.”

“After thinking about it, if I really can’t escape, I’ll cut my hair and go become a nun.”

Yin Hui glared at her, “Aren’t you going to stab your father with a knife doing this?”

Wei Ying replied, “Then what else can I do? As long as I’m fine, he will definitely urge me.”

Yin Hui came up with a plan on the way, leaned into Wei Ying’s ear, and explained carefully.

Wei Ying was puzzled, “Can this work?”

Yin Hui replied, “If you believe in me, then do as I say. But if you don’t act well, and father finds out that we have joined forces to lie and deceive him, I will never recognize you as my sister again.”

Wei Ying immediately swore that she would obediently obey, and it didn’t matter if she herself was punished; she must not implicate the third sister-in-law.

Next, because of Yin Hui’s confident attitude, Wei Ying was also full of confidence in the plan. She was open-minded in matters of love. Since she had a solution, Wei Ying seemed to be relieved of such a heavy burden and took Yin Hui to have a good time.

It wasn’t until they returned to Chengxin Hall in the afternoon that Wei Luo had the opportunity to ask Yin Hui about the result.

Yin Hui smiled and said, “It took me a lot of effort before the third sister told me that she doesn’t like military officials, but literati.”

Wei Luo immediately thought of the three brothers of the Guo family. His sister didn’t even like them, so it was reasonable to dislike Zhou Tong.

After getting the answer, Wei Luo went to Qinzheng Hall to meet his father.

King Yan frowned when he heard it. How could a military officer be inferior to a literati? His youngest daughter also liked to wield swords but preferred literati who had no power even to restrain a chicken. What was the reason for it?

He was still checking the civil servants his daughter might have seen in Pingcheng one by one, and a little eunuch came to report that the third daughter had come.

Hearing that, King Yan quickly gave his son a look.

Getting the signal, Wei Luo resigned and left.

The brother walked out, and the sister walked in. When they passed each other, Wei Ying gave a heavy snort to Wei Luo.

King Yan heard it all inside.

“Okay, why were you being rude to your third brother?” Seeing his daughter, King Yan pretended to be puzzled.

Wei Ying sat on the chair opposite to him and snorted, “Father, Wei Luo pretends to be confused with me. I used to get along with my third sister-in-law. The third sister-in-law never inquired about my private affairs, but today she was uncharacteristically asking non-stop. I’m not a fool. After thinking about it for a while, I know that you must have made things difficult for her through the third brother. See, I guessed correctly; the third brother came to report to you as soon as he returned home. The evidence is solid, do you still want to quibble?”

His daughter was smart, and King Yan not only didn’t become angry but laughed out loud.

After laughing, King Yan said bluntly, “Okay, since you have already guessed it, this King will not play tricks anymore. Your third sister-in-law said that you like literati people, is it true, or were you tricking her?” 

Wei Ying thought about it. After thinking, she said, “Half-truth, half-false.”

King Yan: “What do you mean?”

Wei Ying seemed a little embarrassed, and after a moment of twitching, she looked at her father and whispered, “I’ll say it, but you are not allowed to make fun of me.”

King Yan unconsciously leaned over, saying, “Just say it.”

Wei Ying whispered, “Actually, I don’t like anyone, but I often have the same dream in the past two years. In the dream, I got married. Although the groom always had his back facing me, and I couldn’t see his face, his figure was that of a literati, and you, Father, were also there. You said he was the most talented man in the whole capital and told me not to bully him.”

King Yan only thought it was funny until his daughter said that he was also there and had said such a sentence in his daughter’s dream.

Wei Ying lowered her head shyly, clenching her fingers, and said, “Because I always have such dreams, I feel that I should marry such a person. But I am embarrassed to tell you this dream.”

King Yan looked at his daughter’s shy face, and an inappropriate question popped up in his mind. Could it be that his daughter also dreamed of her bridal chamber? (first night?) If so, it really couldn’t be told to him.

“Ying’er, in the dream, I really praised him as the most talented man in the whole capital?” King Yan tried his best not to care.

Wei Ying nodded and looked up at him, saying, “Is there anything strange? You love me so much, so naturally, you want to choose the best man for me. After all, this dream was quite real. I really don’t like these rough men, a military officer who stinks of sweat every day.”

King Yan himself was a general, and hearing what his daughter said, he couldn’t help justifying the military officer’s name, “There is no one who doesn’t sweat when leading troops in battle. He can just go home and take a bath.”

Wei Ying responded, “Still, I don’t like it. I just prefer gentle and elegant ones. Father, please don’t mess with the mandarin ducks. I really don’t want to get married now, unless you bring the groom of my dreams to me.”

King Yan thought that the groom in her dream was in the capital, thousands of miles away, where could he find him?

However, since his daughter’s dream often appeared, was it an omen?

“Father?” Wei Ying suppressed the excitement in her heart and waved her hand in front of her father.

King Yan came back to his senses, facing his daughter’s small face, he would rather believe it and compromised, “Okay, I won’t urge you anymore. I will find you the talented man in the capital in your dream and let the dream come true. But except for me, you are not allowed to tell anyone, including your mother and your third sister-in-law!”

Wei Ying was overjoyed. The joy coincided with her impatience and being urged to marry by her parents, so King Yan didn’t doubt anything.
