Chapter 29: I Can't Go

Since that day and He Zhi went to Hongfeng Garden, Wei Lai did not leave the barracks again for the next few days. Although the marshal gave her a vacation of more than one day, she was not familiar with the place in this capital, and she could not find a place to go when she went out. As for Miss He, naturally she can't meet so coincidentally every time, and she is even more embarrassed to take the initiative to make an appointment.

There has been nothing to do in the past few days, so Wei Lai is ready to write another resignation note. Although she doesn't know why there is no response from the ministry, but more than half a month has passed, and it doesn't seem to make sense to wait any longer.

Just as Wei Lai had finished grinding, lifted the pen, and was about to write again, she was called by Marshal Wei again.

Wei Lai thought about it carefully when he was walking on the road, and the marshal should have no military affairs to look for her recently, because she was still on "vacation" for the past two days, and even the training of the black-armored cavalry was handed over to her subordinates. So what will happen to Marshal Wei suddenly looking for her this time? Could it be that the reply from the Ministry of Officials has finally come down?!

Thinking like this, Wei Lai's steps were much lighter. She hurriedly ran to Wei Yan with the herald, and then before she could ask, she was poured down by Wei Yan with a basin of cold water......

"Xiao Wei, when do you think you will go to Shangshu Mansion to propose?" This was Wei Yan's first sentence after seeing Wei Lai.

At that moment, Wei Lai's mood can only be described in four words - a thunderbolt on a sunny day! She was simply stupefied by Wei Yan's sudden words! Unconsciously opened his mouth and was stunned for a while, Wei Lai stammered: "Marshal, you...... Are you kidding?! ”

Wei Yan was in a good mood and silently admired Wei Lai's discoloring appearance, but he still had a serious face on his face, and he was still full of majesty when he spoke: "Ben Shuai has always been the same, when have you ever joked." ”

Well, based on Wei Lai's understanding of Lord Marshal over the years, he is indeed a man of many words. So Wei Lai, who finally came back to his senses, could only cry without tears on his face: "Then marshal, why did you say this?" Although the last general knows Miss He, he has only seen a few faces, where is it to the point of talking about marriage! ”

Ever since he heard about those rumors from his wife this morning, Wei Yan has been in a good mood, because he knows that as soon as this rumor comes out, Wei Lai will no longer be able to escape. At this moment, he squinted at Wei Lai, and pretended to sigh: "Xiao Wei, He Zhi is a good girl, you can't let her down." ”

Why is today's marshal so strange? She couldn't understand every word she spoke! Who is He Zhi? And why did you get the word "disappointed"? Wei Lai felt that he couldn't keep up with the marshal's train of thought at all.

Probably enough of the excitement, seeing Wei Lai's frightened and dazed look, Wei Yan finally coughed lightly and explained: "Xiao Wei, you probably haven't been out of the barracks these days, so I don't know." The fact that you and He Zhi went to Hongfeng Garden has now spread a lot, and that statement is not very good. The reputation of other girls is already bad in your hands, and you shouldn't be responsible for the manly husband? ”

When it came to Red Maple Garden, Wei Lai finally understood, and he also knew that what Wei Yan said about He Zhi was Miss He. But now the atmosphere is still open, they just met by chance and then swam together, why did the good ones ruin Miss He's reputation?!

Wei Lai felt that she needed to explain: "Marshal, Miss He and I just met by chance that day and had a visit to the Red Maple Garden. From beginning to end, in addition to looking at the scenery together, it was just a few words, and there was no half-point overstep! ”

Wei Yan naturally believed this, he had already seen Wei Lai's character, and it was impossible for him to be that ignorant of proportion. But he still shook his head, pretending to be helpless and sad: "Xiao Wei, I know who you are, and I naturally believe in you." But the so-called people's words are terrifying, and now this gossip is spreading, if you want to resign, you can just leave when the time comes, but how should He Zhi's girl deal with herself if she stays in Beijing? Her reputation was not very good, but now it is even more ......"

Marshal Wei's words, Wei Lai could not refute. She subconsciously opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything, she could only stare at the ground in front of her - all the things she met and traveled with her that day were still in front of her, and the ease and joy when she got along with He Zhi was not fake at all, but she never thought that things would develop into the current situation.

Miss He had a bad reputation inexplicably because of her, if she really didn't care about it and pretended not to know, Wei asked herself and couldn't do it. But what else could she do? Is it really like Marshal Wei said, go to Shangshu Mansion to propose marriage?!

When this idea popped up, I don't know why, Wei Lai's heart jumped violently. But it's just a moment, she knows very well what reality is - she is just a fake man dressed as a man, how can she marry He Zhi, a real lady? Even if it is the current situation, if she really does this, I am afraid it will harm Miss He's life!

Thinking of this, Wei Lai's eyes returned to the clarity of the past. She raised her head and met Wei Yan's vaguely hopeful eyes, but she shook her head firmly and said, "Marshal, this matter is just a misunderstanding, I will find a way to explain it clearly." But for the matter of proposing relatives to Shangshu Mansion, please forgive me for not being able to go. ”

Wei Yan's eyes inevitably flashed with a trace of disappointment when he heard this, and his expression hardened coldly: "Three people become tigers, people are terrible, where can you explain these things clearly if you want to?!" Or do you Wei Lai not have this responsibility, refuse to marry He Zhi, and dare not take this responsibility on others? ! ”

Wei Lai naturally knew the power of gossip, but she really couldn't think of a better way to do this, and she couldn't explain the reason to Marshal Wei clearly, so in the end, she could only frown and purse her lips, making a gesture like a default.

Wei Yan glared in disbelief, he couldn't believe that Wei Lai was such an irresponsible person. The mood of stealing fun earlier has long dissipated without a trace, and at this moment, he even feels a little sorry for He Yu's sworn enemy.

Pointing at Wei Lai, Wei Yan was so angry that he almost didn't know what to say: "You...... Okay, Wei Lai, you can really do it! I haven't missed anyone in my life, you're the first! Because I value you so much, I never thought that you were such a responsible person...... That's it, you just go to tell me where to go clearly, and it will save you the harm of other young ladies for a lifetime! ”

Wei Lai didn't have a taste in her ears when she heard this, but she couldn't refute it.

Wei Yan was also really angry, and after speaking, seeing that Wei Lai was still stubborn, he simply dragged Wei Lai to Shangshu Mansion.

Wei Lai didn't struggle, so she followed obediently, because there were some words that she felt she should make clear to He Zhi.
