Chapter 63: The Duke
Ewha Country implements a knighthood system, and its status is respectful and humble.
Except for the royal family at the top of the tower, the duke has almost all the power of the government and the opposition, and even the state will give priority to the duke's opinion when promulgating new laws.
Even if Wei Zheng said that she wanted to go to heaven, Ain would arrange it properly for her.
Wei Zheng was silent for a while, and then typed a draft in his heart.
"That's ......"
A few minutes later.
Wei Zheng explained the ins and outs, then pursed his lips and waited for a reply a little nervously.
Aine touched his chin, a wrinkled cheek that looked pensive.
"According to what you said, the location of this Wei Chun's car accident happens to be within the scope of my fiefdom. In this case, I will instruct my subordinates to investigate deeply and give you a reply within three days. ”
"Thank you, stepmother!" Wei Zheng said gratefully.
"Not necessarily." Aine smiled lightly, and changed his words, "If you have time to accompany me in the country of Pear Blossom, I am ready to teach you aristocratic etiquette and take you to some high-class banquets." ”
"This ...... Forget it, it's useless for me to learn that. ”
Subconsciously, Wei Zheng felt that as an outsider, it was impossible for her to obtain the inheritance of Duke Al Ain.
In this way, it did not mean much to her to learn the red tape of the aristocracy.
"You must be curious, you ruined the 'good deeds' of my two daughters, and they didn't bother you, right?"
Ain's face suddenly turned cold.
Wei Zheng shook his head, his eyes filled with curiosity.
"They have been sent to prison by me, one sentenced to death, and the other will be left alone in prison for the rest of their lives."
As soon as Ain's voice fell, his eyes reddened slightly.
Wei Zheng opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to comfort him.
Soon, though, Ain's expression returned to normal, and his face was very flat.
"Zheng'er, when I was young, I was unable to have children because of an accident. The two eldest sisters you have met are actually my adopted children, and I treat them as if they were my own and take care of them meticulously. Unexpectedly, it was two white-eyed wolves that were not well raised. ”
There was a two-second pause.
Ain's face was solemn, and he continued:
"Five years ago, I insisted on accepting you as my righteous daughter and made a will, and you inherited my entire estate, in fact, after careful consideration. Think about it, with my status, there is no need to joke with you. ”
On the other side of the video window, Wei Zheng lowered his head and didn't say a word.
The old duke sighed, his spirit slightly sluggish.
"Xiao Zheng, I don't have much time to live, the royal doctor personally diagnosed, saying that I only have two hundred and three days left to live."
"Mother-in-law, I ......"
Wei Zheng gritted her teeth, she had respect for the old duke in front of her, but she maintained a certain detachment.
Before that.
She always felt that inheriting a large inheritance and honoring the dukedom was almost dreamlike, and there was a feeling of unreality.
At this time, seeing the old duke's sincerity and deep tone, Wei Zheng was inevitably moved in his heart.
"Zheng'er, since you like that man, I will fully support you in pursuing him. But before I die, I wish to officiate your wedding with my own hands. Ain said with a smile.
"Hmm."
Wei Zheng nodded, but he was a little embarrassed in his heart.
Although Cheng Suhe is approachable in appearance, he will not be a stand-up. But after all, I was emotionally traumatized, and I guess I won't consider a new relationship for a short time. ’
The thought flashed away.
The two continued to make small talk.
Outside the window, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and there is light snow.
Wei Zheng glanced at the time, and before he knew it, two hours had passed.
On the other side of the video, Ain, with a tired look in his eyes, gently rubbed his brows.
Wei Zheng thought for a moment and offered to interrupt the video so that she could rest.
Aine nodded as well, feeling more and less energetic as the deadline approached.
"Toot ......"
As the computer screen was gray, Wei Zheng sat at the head of the bed, holding his chin, recalling Cheng Su's gentle smile, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
With Duke Al Ain's energy, it is not a problem at all to investigate the ins and outs of the case.
…………
Three days later.
Huabiao Hospital, in the early morning ward.
A few rays of sunlight shone obliquely through the window and hit Cheng Su's cheeks.
His face was very pale, and the sun was desperately reflecting, but he still couldn't dispel his gloomy temperament.
Lin Yan stayed at the head of the bed, looking at the man with deep frowns and an uncertain expression in his sleep, and couldn't help but caress his smooth forehead.
Cheng Su...... I love you. ”
She leaned down and brought her delicate red lips to Cheng Su's ear.
Every time Cheng Su fell into a deep sleep, Lin Yan would always whisper softly, even if he couldn't hear it, he was giving himself a little comfort.
"This time, it's true."
Lin Yan murmured softly and tightened Cheng Su's futon.
It was enough to move slightly, but it still woke up the man in front of him.
Lin Yan secretly blamed herself, she obviously could move more lightly, so that she might not disturb Cheng Su.
After taking care of him in the past few days, Lin Yan knew that Cheng Su was nervous, and even in the middle of the night, he might wake up from his sleep because of a little wind and grass.
Lin Yan sat up straight, picked up the documents that were placed aside, and browsed them "seriously".
"Are you awake? Good morning......"
A simple greeting, Lin Yan didn't expect Cheng Su to respond at all.
Sure enough.
Cheng Su frowned deeply, just cast a disgusted look, and turned his gaze away.
"Eh......"
Lin Yan's mood darkened, and he sighed quietly.
It often takes a lot of effort to reunite after breaking the mirror, and she doesn't expect to be able to change Cheng Su's senses overnight.
Not much.
A nurse pushes the door open and enters, holding a breakfast in her hand, which smells fragrant.
"Mr. Cheng, your breakfast today, be careful ...... scalding"
The nurse spoke softly and placed the food box on the bedside.
"Put it here, I'll feed him."
Lin Yan made a look, and the nurse instantly understood, turned around and walked out of the ward.
"Pop ......"
Lin Yan opened the lid of the food box.
The aroma of the seafood porridge in it is overflowing, pouring into the nose and mouth-watering.
She took a spoon and scooped a small spoonful of porridge and gently brought it to her mouth to test its temperature.
The temperature of the porridge was just right, not too cold, not too hot, Lin Yan nodded with satisfaction.
As a matter of fact.
The breakfast brought in by the nurse has been dropped by her.
The seafood porridge in front of the food box is actually from the chef of the Imperial Kitchen.
Just half a food box.
The price is 1,200, which is enough to discourage most people.
"Cheng Su, I'll help you brush your teeth. Breakfast has been delivered, and it is not delicious when it is cold. ”
Lin Yan laughed, pretending to hold Cheng Su's palm naturally, but in fact, he was short of breath, and he seemed to be able to hear the heartbeat of "bang bang".
The warmth and softness from the palm of his hand made Lin Yan's heart flutter.
"Let it go!"
Hearing Cheng Su's warning, Lin Yan hurriedly let go, revealing a faint smile.
"I'm sorry Cheng Su, just now I subconsciously ......"
"Humph!"
Her quibbling was interrupted, and Cheng Su snorted coldly.
Sound in the ears.
Lin Yan was slightly weird in his heart.
The man in front of her obviously had a cold face and ignored her, but he couldn't extinguish the enthusiasm in her heart at all.
