Chapter 84: Making Amends

Wei Lai looked up at the girl who was leading the way in front of him on the wooden wheel of his wheelchair, and then looked at Xu Yunian, who was shrugging his head and looking like a frightened elk, and secretly felt that the relationship between the two sisters and brothers was a little strange.

He had the heart to talk to his childhood friend who he hadn't seen for many years, but Xu Yue's Zhou set was always filled with a chill that rejected people thousands of miles away, and Wei Lai really lacked the ability to talk to people, so he simply followed the young son of the Xu family behind Xu Yue.

I have to say that although Fang Cai only glanced at it in a hurry, Xu Yue turned around, but Wei Lai still caught a glimpse of the other party's more and more bright and moving appearance, even in the frosty condition of Fang Cai's face, it was still fascinating.

With Xu Yue's sudden arrival, Wei Lai's way to the Xu family's mansion became more and more awkward and silent, and the young son of the Xu family, who seemed to be quite jumpy, was honest in front of Xu Yue as if he had seen a student of Mr., and was silent along the way.

Until they passed through several alleys and finally reached the gate of the tall mansion.

As the commander of the Chixiao Army and one of the three major gates of Ningxiao City, the lintel of the Xu Mansion is naturally worthy of the identity of the Xu family. Whether it is the tall courtyard gate, or the eight armor soldiers dressed in red cloud snow armor lined up on both sides in front of the mansion gate, they all reveal the majesty and solemnity that ordinary people can hardly reach.

And the eight armorers who were very proud also hurried to meet Xu Yue after seeing the existence of Xu Yue and Xu Yunian.

Four of them were divided into two teams, and carried Xu Yue's wheelchair up to the mansion of the Xu Mansion, with eight steps, and under the joint lifting of the four people, Xu Yue's body did not shake for half a minute.

"The old lady has been waiting for a long time. Finally, the armor soldiers helped push open the door of the mansion and bowed to the people.

Inside the tall courtyard gate is a long corridor, a lush outer courtyard like a forest, and a handmaiden who has been waiting for a long time, dressed in colorful clothes and pretty.

Although Wei Lai had already expected the scale of the mansion under the command of the Chixiao Army, when he followed the Xu family sisters and brothers and those maidservants in the corridor for half an hour and still did not arrive at the Xiuyue Tower in their mouths, Wei Lai still couldn't help but secretly smack his tongue - his understanding of the real rich and noble family was still too shallow.

And the word rich and noble is obviously not appropriate to describe the Xu family, especially when the so-called Xiuyue Tower appeared in front of Wei Lai - it was a three-story attic, although it was built small and chic, but these three-story pavilions alone were far from enough to match the long corridor that Wei Lai had passed through.

The so-called Xiuyue Tower is located in the center of a lake, of course the lake is not big, but it also occupies dozens of zhang of land, and such a lake in the palace is set up in his own courtyard, Wei Lai only heard that the Longxiang Palace in Tailin City can have such a skill, but he didn't expect that there is such a scene in a commander's mansion in Ningxiao City.

Seeing Wei Lai enter the city with a hillbilly, he stood outside the Xiuyue Building with wide eyes and looked at the scene in front of him.

Xu Yunian finally found some comfort from yesterday's frustration, and he couldn't help but pat Wei Lai's shoulder a little proudly: "Let's go!"

......

As soon as he pushed open the door of Xiuyue Building, Xu Yue pushed his wheelchair and sat on the desk at the lower left of the main seat without looking back, his face was grim and he didn't squint.

And Xu Yuanzhen, who was sitting on the main seat, and a woman in a long cyan dress focused on Wei Lai's body for the first time.

"The young man sat down quickly. And the thunderous voice of Xu Trap also sounded immediately.

Wei Lai nodded, and then sat down on the desk at the lower right of the main seat under the guidance of the maidservant, facing Xu Yue.

Wei Lai deliberately nodded to the woman, but the other party turned a blind eye to the gaze handed by Wei Lai, and sat in place, fiddling with the chopsticks and wine bottles in front of him.

Wei Lai was a little embarrassed, but that's all, from the state where the other party didn't say a word after meeting Xu Yue before, he felt how much the other party was alienated from him, after all, he only knew each other when he was a child, and after not seeing him for many years, Wei Lai was not concerned, he withdrew his gaze.

"It's only been a few years, and Xiao Alai has already grown like this. Very handsome, quite like your father. At this moment, the voice of the woman sitting next to Xu Trap sounded.

Wei Lai turned his head to look at the woman, and secretly felt a little familiar, he vaguely remembered that this woman seemed to be surnamed Long, and she was the daughter of a certain big family in Ningzhou. He nodded, bowed to the other party with a vague number of etiquette in his memory, and responded, "Aunt Long praised it." ”

"Alas...... You have suffered alone in Wupan City all these years, and your Uncle Xu and I are also really suffering, there is no way to ......" The woman lowered her head with a guilty look and said softly, I don't know if it was Wei Lai's illusion, he vaguely found that the eyes of the woman at the stall who was saying this were a little red.

"Isn't it good for our virtuous nephew to stand in front of us?" but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xu Cheng on the side.

"Yes, yes, yes. The woman nodded again and again, and reached out to wipe the tears that seemed to be overflowing from the corners of her eyes.

Wei Lai didn't expect this kind of appearance, and he didn't know how to comfort the woman in front of him who seemed to be really haunted by those old things - after all, everything about this woman in his memory was extremely unreal, and how the relationship between her and his parents seemed to Wei was also a vague concept, and he could only echo and say: "Aunt Long's mourning, my parents know your intentions, and Quanxia should also be relieved." ”

The woman surnamed Long nodded with tears in her eyes, and then raised her eyes and glared fiercely at the man beside her.

The commander of the Chixiao Army, who was majestic outside, trembled under his wife's gaze, and smiled wryly, and then looked at Wei Lai: "Ahem, Wei Xian's nephew, I heard that you have married two wives in Yu Nian, but is it true?"

At this question, Wei Lai could clearly feel that the indifferent girl opposite him suddenly focused her eyes on him, Wei Lai's heart was strangely tight, and secretly said that this childhood playmate seemed to be much more gossipy than she appeared.

Wei Lai didn't doubt him, he nodded and said, "Indeed." ”

But when these words were spoken, the faces of the couple sitting in the main seat obviously changed, and even Xu Yue's body seemed to tremble slightly.

Xu Trap and the woman surnamed Long glanced at each other, and their faces became a little solemn.

The woman surnamed Long hesitated for a moment, then turned her head to look at Wei Lai, and said softly: "Wei Xian's nephew knows that my family Yue'er shirked the marriage contract with Xiao Meng, the youngest son of the Xiao family, a few years ago......"

Wei Lai was stunned for a moment, but vaguely remembered the marriage contract, but he didn't know that the marriage contract had been annulled. He shook his head blankly: "This year, the news in Wupan City is blocked, and the juniors really have no way of knowing about it......

"This ......" The faces of Xu and his wife, who heard Wei Lai's words, became more and more strange, and the two looked at each other again.

"Dad!mother!" But at this moment, Xu Yue on the side suddenly spoke.

Xu and his wife turned their heads to look at Xu Yue, and Wei Lai also noticed the strangeness of the family's words that wanted to speak and stopped, and also subconsciously looked at the girl.

I only heard the girl's quiet words: "I have studied under the door of the Meng Hanging Pot in Guiyuan Palace, and I am dedicated to the Tao, and the things in the red dust have nothing to do with me, and this time I returned home to help my father and mother repay my kindness, and my father and mother do not need to hesitate." After this time, I am afraid that I will rarely return home, the marriage contract is nothing more than a blank slate for me, but it is a life-saving straw that can save his life at a critical moment.

Xu Yue's words made Wei Lai more and more confused, but Xu and his wife looked at each other at that time, as if they had really made some extremely important decision after what Xu Yue said.

That Xu turned his head to look at Wei Lai: "Cheap stinky boy......"

As he spoke, he stood up with a much more solemn expression, and was about to make some of the most important decisions in his mouth at that time.

Bang dang!

The door of the embroidered moon building was suddenly opened at that time.

"I just said that Lao Ning and I couldn't invite the young son by all means, it turned out that we didn't have the daughter of the old Xu family who was as beautiful as a fairy!"

A rough voice came, and Wei Lai immediately turned his head to look, only to see two men in white armor with purple and blue cloud marks embroidered on their chests striding into the embroidered moon building.
