Chapter 1249: Meet You Again When Flowers Fall (49)
Half an hour later, Wei Yanshan met his father in the study.
General Wei glanced at his eldest son.
After not seeing each other for ten years, the affection he had for Wei Yanshan, which was already limited, was now almost gone.
"Tell me! What exactly do you want to do here this time?" General Wei sat down in the main seat, his tone slightly impatient, "I was doing well in Yongzhou, I don't know why you're running around."
In fact, he knew about his son's absence from his post ten days ago, but General Wei did not know that the other party would come to find him.
Therefore, General Wei was very surprised when he saw Wei Yanshan today.
Wei Yanshan had previously anticipated many of his father's attitudes towards him, including guilt, remorse, and even anger.
However, Wei Yanshan was not expecting such self-righteous calmness, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
"You've been like this all your life!" General Wei sighed softly. "Before coming to the border town, you were eager to make great achievements, but after less than two years, you found life here difficult.
Growing up with the girl from the Du family as a childhood sweetheart was originally the best match, but after meeting Li Yuemei, I felt that she was better. I never know what I want, and I am always on the road of getting tired of the old and liking the new.
Wei Yanshan didn't expect his father to say that. His face turned cold. "Father, I think the person who should least say that I'm fickle is you, isn't it? You and Mother..."
"Shut up!" General Wei interrupted his eldest son with disdain. "Now that things have come to this, I can no longer care about your mother's reputation. Let me make things clear with you."
Then General Wei began to talk about that past event.
He is the legitimate son of the Wei family, but he has never been liked by his parents since he was a child. Fortunately, his master who taught him martial arts was very kind to him.
His master was a soldier. When he was thirteen years old, General Wei followed his master to garrison the border town in order to fight for a future for himself.
General Wei, who was brave and resourceful and came from a noble family, was naturally promoted much faster than many others.
Before he was sixteen, he had already held a good position in the army.
At that time, he had already fallen in love with his master's daughter.
However, when he was eighteen years old, the enemy launched a surprise attack and his master died while trying to protect General Wei.
Although General Wei later integrated the remaining forces and achieved the final victory, the dead were gone.
The two people who did not have time to get engaged agreed to wait until the other party's mourning period was over before revisiting the matter.
Half a year later, General Wei was promoted again, and he also received a letter from the Wei family in Huanzhou, asking him to return home in glory and bring honor to his family.
He didn't want to go back, but his sweetheart persuaded him: "You should go back and take a look! And let your family know about our affairs. This will make things easier for you in the future."
General Wei then set out to return to Huanzhou.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to the Wei family, he found out that his family had arranged a fiancée for him - the later Mrs. Wei.
"Dad, Mom, before my master died, he told me to take good care of his daughter. Besides, she and I have fallen in love with each other over the years, so I cannot agree to this marriage." General Wei refused without even thinking.
At this time, the two elders of the Wei family had not spoken yet.
The young Madam Wei spoke first: "Brother Shi, I understand your difficulties, and I know you are not a treacherous person. Let's forget about the marriage. After all, we have never met before, and it's not that I have to marry you."
These words made General Wei feel somewhat favorable towards this woman, and he thought that she was a truly reasonable person.
But what he didn't know was that when she was young, Mrs. Wei had already made up her mind to marry him the first time she saw him. She was determined to be the general's wife.
The so-called cancellation of the engagement is just a step back to advance.
Due to official business, General Wei could not stay in Huanzhou for long.
The "accident" happened after the farewell banquet the day before leaving.
The next day, General Wei, who had been drugged, was found lying naked in bed with his fiancée, who wanted to break off the engagement.
There is nothing much to say about this, because everything needed for the wedding is "ready-made" anyway.
Three days later, the two got married.
Speaking of which, Mrs. Wei was also lucky. This time she was pregnant with Wei Yanshan.
General Wei later stayed in the border town all year round, and the number of times he went back could be counted on ten fingers.
Because he still has a home and a wife here, every time he returns to Huanzhou, he can still save face for his wife who plotted against him.
Speaking of which, it was Madam Wei who later took care of General Wei's parents until their death, so it was impossible for him to divorce his wife.
The two wives lived together for many years.
"I agreed to let you come to Border Town because I wanted to train you to be my successor." At the end, General Wei looked at Wei Yanshan with regret and said, "It's a pity that you were spoiled by your mother. I can't give you my position.
I arranged a marriage for you with the Du family because I knew the girl's relationship with the Taoists and saw through her abilities. If you marry her, even if you don't achieve anything great in this life, your life won't be too bad. But you..."
