General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming

Chapter 232 - 232 Grandparent and Grandchild (1)

232 Grandparent and Grandchild (1)

In the end, Wei Ting was “arrested” back to the residence by his fifth sister-in-law.

In the main room of Wutong Courtyard, Old Madam Wei saw Wei Ting, who had been away for a year.

Madam Jiang went out first, leaving only a maidservant serving tea in the room.

Wei Ting bowed to Matriarch Wei. “Grandmother.”

!!

Old Madam Wei said, “Hmph, you still acknowledge me as your grandmother. If not for your Fifth Sister-in-law nabbing you back, I think you would still be living a carefree life outside.”

“Grandmother, Fifth Sister-in-law can’t beat me.”

In other words, he had returned voluntarily.

Old Madam Wei did not fall for his tricks. “Your Fifth Sister-in-law said that you were injured? It’s fake, right?”

Wei Ting was speechless. He thought to himself privately, “Sigh, give me some leeway.”

Old Madam Wei said disdainfully, “Don’t I know you well? You’re the most cunning!”

As the youngest son of the family, Wei Ting had grown up under the love of his parents and brothers. The first few brothers were each more honest than the other, but for some reason, when it came to Wei Ting, he became a little fox.

At present, he could not be considered a little fox.

After all, he was 21 years old.

“Where’s the Commander’s Seal?” Matriarch Wei asked sternly.

Wei Ting sighed melancholically. “Sigh, at least let me ask you how you’ve been this year and how your body is…”

“Cut the crap!” Matriarch Wei was too skilled, and Wei Ting’s sugar-coated bullets were useless against her.

Wei Ting took out the Commander’s Seal.

After experiencing the loss of her husband, sons, and grandsons, Matriarch Wei’s temperament was already extraordinary. However, the moment she saw the Commander’s Seal, her body still swayed slightly.

Wei Ting bowed and raised the commander’s seal above his head with both hands. He bowed solemnly. “I was lucky not to disappoint you.”

Old Madam Wei reached out her wrinkled hand and took the Commander’s Seal with a trembling hand.

She handed the walking stick to the maidservant beside her and touched the cold and familiar patterns on the Commander’s Seal.

The dim candlelight fell into her eyes, and one could vaguely see tears flickering in her eyes.

Wei Ting looked at Matriarch Wei’s tears and was silent for a long time before saying in a low voice, “Grandmother, did Grandpa really leave this Commander’s Seal behind?”

“Yes, this is our Wei family’s last life-saving talisman. You must keep it well.”

Matriarch Wei handed the Commander’s Seal back to Wei Ting.

Wei Ting did not hesitate and accepted the Commander’s Seal.

The Commander’s Seal not only symbolized power but also an undeniable responsibility on his shoulders.

Old Madam Wei said, “I heard that His Highness also went to Qingzhou.”

Wei Ting did not hide it. “He wanted to snatch the Commander’s Seal.”

Old Madam Wei said suspiciously, “How did he know about the Wei family’s Commander’s Seal?”

Wei Ting paused. “I’m not sure.”

“Looks like it was leaked,” Matriarch Wei said. “Other than him, does anyone else know?”

Wei Ting said, “Jing Yi.”

Old Madam Wei thought for a moment and said, “Young Marquis Jing? That’s not strange. They’re cousins. The Third Prince has always trusted him. Did you meet him in Qingzhou?”

Wei Ting paused. “Sort of.”

Old Madam Wei did not ask in detail how about his “sort of”. Wei Ting was already so old and had his own limits.

The more she let go, the faster he would grow.

“He didn’t get rid of you in Qingzhou. When he returns to the capital, he will definitely report you to the emperor. Why didn’t you stay obediently in the temple but run into the inner city?”

The Country Protecting Dragon Temple also belonged to the capital, but it was not in the bustling inner city. Instead, it was in the western suburbs of the capital.

Wei Ting avoided discussing his goal and replied, “Grandmother, don’t worry. He wouldn’t enter the capital so early.”

Xiao Zhonghua dared to poison him. Whether it was to test him or to sincerely seize his life, he was a petty person and held grudges. He had to settle the score.

He was not afraid of letting Xiao Zhonghua know about his relationship with that girl.

He did not hide it. He would not resort to the trope of distancing himself from someone for her own good.

The person he wanted to protect was clearly protected.

He would let everyone know the price of touching her.

“His Highness should be trapped on the water now. He won’t be back for ten days to half a month.”

His people would treat Xiao Zhonghua well.

Old Madam Wei did not censure that he actually dared to scheme against the prince and was so rebellious. Their Wei family had once been too honest. What happened in the end?

If her seventh grandchild had not stayed in the capital to become the top scholar instead of going to the battlefield, he would probably have died.

“Where are the three children?” Matriarch Wei asked.

Wei Ting said, “Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu are in a safe place. I’ll pick them up later. For now, it’s better not to attract attention.”

“Dahu, Erhu, Xiaohu?” Matriarch Wei frowned. “You gave them nicknames?”
