Chapter 1843 - 1834: Zi Wei’s Side Story (1)

Extra Story (3) Zi Wei

Yue Residence in Lingnan.

Two carriages stopped in front of the grand and solemn gates, with servants coming and going, packing things onto the carriages in an orderly manner.

Yue Xin also stood at the door, checking everything one by one.

This time, her Daddy was taking her mother to meet an old friend, so she had to prepare well for them. After all, in the past ten years or so, her parents had never left home and had been recuperating in Lingnan. Her mother's illness had lingered for so long, yet still...

Yue Xin felt a dull sadness in her heart, but when Zi Wei supported Yue Lian out, she forced a smile and went up to support her mother, "Mother, this trip will be tiring, and Xin'er won't be going with you. You must be good and listen to Daddy, and don't wander around!"

She and Zi Wei supported Yue Lian in their arms, whose eyes were unfocused and face somewhat haggard. She nodded dazedly, "Okay, I'll follow my husband..."

Zi Wei held her waist and helped her onto the carriage.

The ravages of time had left marks on everyone, except for Zi Wei. He looked just as he did fifteen years ago. Yue Xin had watched him grow up. Her Daddy always had a cold, expressionless, and wooden face.

She felt a bit sentimental as she went up and clung to Zi Wei's arm, acting spoiled, "Daddy, this time your daughter isn't going with you, so you must take good care of Mother. I'll be waiting at home for your return, don't forget my wedding!"

Zi Wei turned to look at her, "Mm."

Got it!

Still just one word!

Yue Xin knew her Daddy's nature and didn't say much more. She watched her Daddy board the carriage and just saw them off.

Now at the Yue Residence, it was just her and the old steward left.

The old steward had served three generations of the Yue Family people, and now he was so old that he needed a cane to walk.

He bent over, standing beside Yue Xin, his voice hoarse, "Cough cough... the son-in-law has left, Miss, from now on, it's just you in the Yue family."

There was a thick, overwhelming sadness in his tone, pitying two generations of Yue Family heads, who after growing up, were all alone.

Yue Xin patted the back of the old steward's hand, "I'm not afraid. I've already found a husband, so supporting the Yue Family alone isn't a problem for me. I'm just worried about Daddy. He knows well that Mother's condition is already bad, yet he always stays with her like this."

Since the day Daddy and Mother returned home, Mother had been in a daze, with mental issues that fluctuated, sometimes very well and sometimes with the mind of a three-year-old child.

Over the years, her Daddy had always stayed by her mother's side, unwavering in care.

When she was young, she always felt Daddy was the most affectionate man in the world, even though he rarely smiled and spoke barely a few words throughout the year, yet he was no longer so gloomy and melancholy.

As she grew up, she discovered that Daddy never seemed truly happy, as if he stayed with Mother just because Mother loved him.

"Daddy, do you love Mother?"

This was the question she asked Zi Wei last night as she stood under the corridor.

Zi Wei held his sword, his eyes dazed for a moment, and then something unbelievable happened.

She had thought Daddy wouldn't answer such a boring question, but that night, Daddy stayed to talk to her. He spoke more that night than she'd heard him speak in years.

Zi Wei placed the sword on the stone table, his tone cold, "I don't know if I love your mother. I still don't understand what love is and what not loving means."

Yue Xin was shocked, "Why? How could Daddy not understand?"

Even though she was still young, she knew the feeling of loving someone, a pounding heart, fiery passion, and recklessness.

But love is also something that makes people grow and become rational.

It's quite wonderful.

Zi Wei's eyes showed a moment of confusion, "I've never seriously told you that in the first half of my life, I only knew one thing: to follow orders to kill."

Yue Xin's heart sank, suddenly feeling like crying.

Zi Wei put the sword further away, and continued, "And that was only the first half of my life. Later, I was fortunate to meet a master who saved my life and brought me out of that place. Only then did I understand a little that besides killing, I could protect, accompany, and learn to save people with her, to do something meaningful like protecting those around us, defending the country.

But later on, she didn't need me anymore and told me to live my own life, yet I still didn't know what my life was like, how it should go. Marrying your mother was just to protect her."
