Reborn Lady - Chapter 214
Wei Yan, having been disciplined by Mr. Mei himself, was reluctant to approach him for the sake of his daughter. Instead, he advised Sister Zhuang to be obedient in the future. This caused Sister Zhuang to cry again as she felt her father was not supporting her.
Despite the pressure, Wei Yan couldn’t withstand his daughter’s tears. He quickly bent down to comfort her, refusing to take the matter to Mr. Mei, fearing it might lead to further consequences.
Left without support from her father and with her mother unable to help, Sister Zhuang cried for a few days before eventually mending her ways. Although Xiao Heng protected Si Lang and Liu Lang, the two younger siblings still chose to play with Sister Zhuang whenever she smiled again. Frustrated, Xiao Heng decided to ignore the trio and focused on reading his own books or playing with his older siblings.
Fast forwarding to February on the day of Yin Lang’s wedding, Wei Luo took a day off for Xiao Heng, and the family of four attended the wedding at the Yin Mansion as planned.
The Yin family’s wedding banquet was particularly lively, thanks to the numerous guests and running waiters in the alley, inviting neighbors to join the celebration.
During the firecracker display, Xiao Heng, dressed in a robe, joined other children from wealthy families in running around. Despite his noble status, he mingled easily while playing. However, if someone tried to take advantage of his stature, Xiao Heng would tense up, shouting, “Chang Feng,” with a commanding presence reminiscent of a younger Wei Luo.
Jinzhan proudly shared all the details with Yin Hui, emphasizing, “They couldn’t bully Wu Lang.”
Recognizing that Xiao Heng’s upbringing would differ from Wei Luo’s due to their distinct family backgrounds, Yin Hui, despite disapproving of Wei Luo’s temper, didn’t intentionally interfere when it came to her son using his royal status. She focused on teaching him how to interact with others, emphasizing kindness to those inferior, responding with courtesy if treated politely, and discouraging arrogance.
King Yan was the best example. As a vassal king, he loved the people. If he encountered people blocking the way for help when traveling, he would listen patiently and punish those who deserve it. When encountering talented people, King Yan would also make an exception to promote them, instead of investigating the other person’s background first, like Yuan Daoqing, a genius doctor, and Liao Shisan became Qianhu, all of whom were reused by King Yan by virtue of their talents.
It could be said that King Yan had strict requirements on his sons, and he had always been kind and generous to the outside world. The people in Pingcheng loved him very much.
Xiao Heng liked to listen to such stories, especially the stories related to his grandfather. While remembering the stories, those truths had quietly taken root in his mind.
In March, as the weather warmed up, Wei Ying brought Fu Shan to Chengxin Hall and invited Yin Hui to join them for a horse race.
Being a girl of the grassland, Fu Shan had learned to ride a horse at the age of ten. However, she didn’t ride every day, so the reins didn’t leave calluses on her hands.
With the approaching day, Yin Hui didn’t want her father-in-law to pay too much attention to her, Wei Ying, or Fu Shan at this point, so she thought it would be better to stay low-key for the time being.
Yin Hui softly discussed, “It’s not convenient for me recently. How about you wait a few more days?”
Wei Ying and Fu Shan readily agreed to postpone the horse race for a few days.
After five or six days, just when Yin Hui was figuring out how to avoid the return of the second daughter, Fu Shan surprised everyone by announcing her pregnancy.
It was truly a delightful surprise!
In the previous life after the Emperor’s death, Fu Shan had to wait for a long time before conceiving a child. King Yan, following both the court’s decree and local customs, had asked his sons to observe a full year of filial piety before they could engage in activities to have children.
Fu Shan, patient and understanding, eagerly awaited the arrival of their child.
As a foreigner with no blood relatives there, she expressed a deep desire to have a child of her own. The reasons behind her previous lack of pregnancy were deemed unimportant; what mattered was that Fu Shan’s wish was coming true sooner.
Upon hearing the good news, Yin Hui congratulated Fu Shan and advised her on the precautions during early pregnancy, emphasizing the need to avoid strenuous activities, particularly horse riding. Fu Shan, taking it seriously, requested Yin Hui to speak slowly, and diligently wrote down the instructions.
Wei Ying also shared in the joy, expressing her desire to accompany her sister-in-law daily, ensuring she followed all necessary precautions and never even thinking about riding a horse.
The news of the pregnancy in the Fourth Master’s courtyard brought joy to Yan Palace for several days. King Yan, soon to be a grandfather for the tenth time, happily wrote a letter to his family and sent someone to the capital to congratulate Emperor Jianlong.
However, before the letter reached the capital, an emergency report arrived from eight hundred miles away: Emperor Jianlong had died!
Initially misunderstanding it for the Crown Prince’s demise, King Yan was momentarily happy to tears. However, upon realizing that it was indeed his father who had passed away, King Yan was overcome with grief, his eyes bloodshot as he wept. Instructing Princess Xu and Wei Yang to guard the palace, King Yan ordered Wei Yan, Wei Luo, Wei Xuan, and a team of guards to ride out of Pingcheng. The shocked onlookers witnessed their hurried departure.
