"Ruo'er feels that when a woman appears in a man's life, his eyes are always on this woman, and when he thinks about this woman in everything he does, he cherishes this woman. What are your thoughts?" Wei Jin also asked.
"How do I know? I'm not a man. How can I understand a man's thoughts?" Wei Ruo muttered.
"Ruo'er, I am not a kind person. I have never felt pity for people who are not important to me, and I have never done anything for people who have nothing to do with me, at least before I met you."
"You're...unfair." Wei Ruo turned her face away, avoiding the fiery gaze cast by Wei Jinyi.
She just wanted to tell her second brother her thoughts, and then the second brother would be embarrassed, shy, and embarrassed, and then lecture her, and then slowly get used to it...
She never thought that there was another way to solve the problem.
Her heart was beating fast at this moment, and she could feel her body, cheeks, and brain getting hot.
“I won’t tell you anymore.”
Wei Ruo turned his head suddenly, turned around and left Wei Jinyi's study with crimson cheeks.
When Wei Ruo came to the door, he subconsciously put his hand on his chest.
It was beating loudly there.
The second brother also treats her...
Wei Ruo felt herself blushing. She had never felt like this when she was about to express her feelings to her second brother.
###
Wei Ruo left and didn't come back until lunch time.
After Xiumei arranged the dishes, she pushed Wei Jinyi to the dining table.
Wei Ruo glanced at Wei Jinyi and then lowered his head with blushing cheeks.
Xiumei noticed Wei Ruo's abnormality and asked hurriedly, "Miss, are you feeling unwell?"
“I’m not uncomfortable.” Wei Ruo replied quickly, and then subconsciously glanced in Wei Jinyi’s direction.
Then he quickly looked away and changed the subject: "Meimei, how is Brother Xiaoyong?"
"He's fine! He didn't have any injuries to begin with. He just received a few whips when he was tortured at the beginning. They were all skin injuries. He's already healed. I've been feeling unwell for the past two days, so I ran outside to turn over tiles. The film is gone." Xiumei explained.
"Why is he turning over tiles? Didn't the governor ask him to go back to the military camp after he recovered from his injuries?" Wei Ruo said angrily.
"He always said that he wanted to do something more for the prince, otherwise he would feel bad. So in the past two days, he turned over all the tiles in the palace, removed the grass in the garden, and repainted the garden pavilion. I followed the road construction team outside to build the road for a long time..."
Xiumei counted in detail the chores Xu Zhengyong had done in the past two days.
"Others have to do these jobs. I have provided food for others to do. Why is he rushing to do this? Go and tell him to stop working blindly." Wei Ruo said angrily.
"No, he won't listen to me." Xiumei flattened her mouth and refused to go to Xu Zhengyong again.
"Then let..." Wei Ruo turned around and glanced at Wei Jinyi.
“Let him come to me and I will talk to him.”
With just one glance, Wei Jin also understood what Wei Ruo meant.
To untie the bell, one must tie the bell. The crux of Xu Zhengyong's problem lies with Wei Jinyi. Wei Jinyi's opening up about this matter is more useful than anyone else.
Upon hearing this, Xiumei immediately agreed: "I'll call him right away!"
Wei Ruo added: "Just say that I will call him to come and have a meal together."
"good."
After Xiumei went out, Wei Ruo and Wei Jinyi were left in the room.
Wei Ruo subconsciously glanced in Wei Jinyi's direction, and Wei Jinyi also happened to be looking at Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo quickly looked away and looked to the other side pretending to be nonchalant.
Xu Zhengyong came not long after.
As soon as he came in, he saluted Wei Jinyi: "I have seen the prince..."
As soon as his knees touched the ground, Wei Jinyi called out: "Get up and eat."
Xu Zhengyong hesitated.
Hearing this, Xu Zhengyong immediately stood up and sat down on the seat next to him.
Wei Ruo looked at Xu Zhengyong helplessly. He would never have met Wei Jin like this before. Even if he knew that he was the prince, he was very casual. Being like this now is mostly due to the guilt in my heart.
“Let’s have a meal, Ruo’er made it.” Wei Jin also said.
“Sister Ruoer and Meimei’s cooking is the most delicious.” Xu Zhengyong praised, then picked up the chopsticks and was about to use them, but suddenly thought of something and stopped.
Then Xu Zhengyong secretly glanced at Wei Jinyi and Wei Ruo.
"You are Ruo'er's brother, so you don't have to be so reserved." Wei Jin also said.
Xu Zhengyong thought for a while before continuing to eat.
After the four of them finished lunch together, Xu Zhengyong stood up and said goodbye.
“Wait a minute.” Wei Jin also called out to Xu Zhengyong.
“What else does the prince have to say?”
“What are you busy with these days?” Wei Jin also asked.
"Nothing, just some chores." Xu Zhengyong did not dare to elaborate.
“You are a sixth-grade general Zhaowu, and chores should not be your thing.” Wei Jin also said.
“There’s nothing you should or shouldn’t do, as long as I can do it.” Xu Zhengyong replied.
“When do you plan to return to the military camp?” Wei Jin also asked.
“I don’t plan to go back for the time being.”
"You have military orders, how can you not go even if you say you don't want to go?"
“I will resign from the military service in a few days.”
“Don’t mess around.”
"I'm not messing around! A man who owes a favor must repay it. If he doesn't repay the favor, how can he talk about his career or his future? You need to be a cow or a horse to get what you want in this life. Anyone who talks about repaying it in the next life is bullshit!"
“Who do you owe your kindness to?”
“Yours, my lord.”
“Then if I ask you to do anything, you will do it.”
"nature."
"I hope my family and country will be peaceful. Are you willing to serve as a general for me?" Wei Jin also said.
“Huh?” Xu Zhengyong looked at Wei Jinyi in surprise.
"I am the prince of Jiliao fiefdom. I hope that the people of Jiliao can live and work in peace and contentment. This pass to the north is the key to ensuring the peace of Jiliao. General Xu, will you be willing to guard this pass for me?"
“Of course I am willing!”
“This is the best way for you to repay your kindness by asking you to guard the gate after you recover from your injuries.” Wei Jin also said.
Xu Zhengyong was stunned for a while, suddenly came to his senses, and then replied loudly: "I know! Your Majesty, I am stupid! I know what I should do most!"
"Um."
“I’ll go get ready and set off back to the military camp in the afternoon!”
“Go.”
Xu Zhengyong is an impatient person and does what he says. He said goodbye to Wei Jinyi and Wei Ruo and went out in a hurry.
Xiumei looked at his back as he walked away without hesitation, and couldn't help but show a disappointed look.
Then she looked back at Wei Ruo and Wei Jinyi, and whispered: "Miss, Your Majesty, I will help Brother Xiaoyong prepare his luggage."
“Well, let’s go.”
With Wei Ruo's permission, Xiumei also left.
Then only Wei Ruo and Wei Jinyi were left in the room.
Wei Ruo looked at Wei Jinyi, but saw that he was also looking at him... (End of this chapter)
