"Elder sister, you're finally awake!"
When Wen Anyang woke up, he was stunned when he saw his second sister, Wen Muning, standing beside the bed.
She propped herself up and stared at Wen Muning for a long time. Finally, she asked, "Are you still alive?"
Hearing this, Wen Muning smiled. "Did you sleep too long and have a nightmare?"
Wen Anyang's personal maid, Mei Zhu, also said with a smile, Eldest Young Lady, not only is Second Young Lady alive, but she will also get married tomorrow! Eldest Young Lady, do you still remember who Second Young Lady is going to marry?
When it came to marriage, Wen Muning was a little shy. She said to Mei Zhu coquettishly, "Don't make trouble. Hurry up and bring me my sister's medicine."
Mei Zhu agreed with a smile and went out to fetch the medicine.
Wen Anyang looked at Wen Muning and said, "Your son is going to get married tomorrow. Is he going to marry the heir of the Zhongyong Duke's Mansion, Qin Lang?"
Wen Muning said, "Yes."
Wen Anyang was shocked.
She was reborn. She was reborn to the day before Xuan Jia's 15th, 14th of the 12th lunar month, and her second sister's marriage.
In that case, it would not be too late!
Thinking back to his previous life, because all the sons of the Wen Clan had gone to the battlefield, there was no man at the door to stop his second sister when she got married. The men brought by Qin Lang took her away two hours earlier.
As a result, on the way back to the Zhongyong Duke's Mansion, the wedding procession encountered the assassination of the king.
The second sister thought that the king was her lover, so she tried her best to protect him. In the end, she died. Before the second sister died, she begged the king to treat her sister well in the future.
The death of his second sister was the beginning of the Wen family's defeat.
After the death of her second sister, the news of the death of the 17th son of the Wen family came. Her grandmother was old and had not yet come out of the grief of losing her granddaughter. When she heard about it, she felt more pain, but she passed away in a few days.
Her grandmother was the aunt of the current emperor and the eldest sister of the former emperor. As soon as she left, the entire Wen family lost its greatest protection. The group of women had no leader. However, because of her affection for the king, she had never been on guard against that man. Not only did she give him the family's secrets, but she also brought him into the Wen family step by step.
Under the king's scheming, the Wen family was charged with treason. Their reputation and lives did not come to a good end.
Wen Anyang only found out when he was dying in his previous life. It turned out that the death of his family's children was planned by the king. He joined hands with his grandfather's vice-general and killed all the men of the Wen family on the battlefield in order to sneak into the Wen family and control the Wen family's army from then on!
All kinds of things in her previous life were Wen Anyang's lifetime self-blame, guilt, and heartache. In this life, she could not let the tragedy happen again!
Now that they were counting the days, there was still some turning point in everything.
At this point in her memory, Mei Zhu happened to come back with the medicine.
Wen Muning took it, blew on it carefully, and served Wen Anyang to drink it.
Wen Anyang's heart ached a lot when he saw his kind and gentle second sister again. He took the medicine, but his eyes were red.
"What's wrong with you, Elder Sister? Is the medicine too bitter?" Wen Muning's mind was delicate. She immediately stopped and said, "Do you want to eat some honey dates slowly?"
"It doesn't matter." Wen Anyang shook his head with a smile. "I'm fine."
Wen Muning gave her a worried look.
Wen Anyang could only say in a low voice, "I just got up and I haven't woken up yet. I always want to yawn."
Only then did Wen Muning relax her brows. While laughing and teasing her for being sleepy, she fed her with medicine.
As soon as she finished the medicine, a maid in Wen Muning's courtyard came to her and said that the fine part of the dress had been changed. She asked Wen Muning to go back and have a look. Wen Muning did not stay at Wen Anyang's place, so she got up and left.
As soon as she left, Mei Xiang, Wen Anyang's maid, came in with Mei Zhu to collect the medicine bowl. She said, "Second Young Lady, did you do it on purpose? Obviously, Princely Heir of Qin of the Zhongyong Duke's Mansion wants to marry Eldest Young Lady. If you hadn't fallen ill on the battlefield with Duke Xing, how could you take advantage of her? She picked up the title of Madam of Princely Heir of Duke Xing's Mansion for no reason. She would like to show off to my Young Lady and raise your scar!"
Mei Zhu immediately gave Mei Xiang a warning look. "Don't talk nonsense!"
Mei Xiang said, "I'm not talking nonsense. Everyone in the capital knows about this. I just think it's not worth it for my Eldest Young Lady. She..."
"Okay." Wen Anyang interrupted her. "Muning is the Second Young Lady of our family, and she is your master. You can't gossip on her tongue. Don't do such stupid things again in the future."
Mei Xiang quickly shut her mouth and bowed her head to apologize.
Wen Anyang didn't even look at her. He only asked Mei Zhu, "Grandmother, are you awake?"
Mei Zhu said, "Great Elder Princess is awake. Eldest Young Lady, are you going to greet her?"
Wen Anyang nodded. "Get changed for me."
With this, she ordered Mei Xiang, "Go and ask Bingying to wait in the room. I have something to tell her after I pay my respects to my grandmother."
Although it was snowing heavily outside, it was filial to pay respects to Great Elder Princess. No one tried to persuade Mei Zhu and Mei Xiang, but each of them began to work.
Wen Anyang was wrapped in a velvet coat, holding a stove in his arms. When he walked out of his yard, she told Mei Zhu, "I'll go to pay my respects to grandma myself. You should avoid her carefully and go to the front yard to find Li Yuan. I asked him to wait for me in the corridor beside the rockery in the backyard an hour later."
Mei Zhu immediately agreed and disappeared into the storm and snow.
Wen Anyang then walked toward his grandmother.
She came all the way on the snow. When the maids and servants who were sweeping the snow in the yard saw her, they immediately came up to support her with an umbrella. Someone quickly entered the room and reported it to Great Elder Princess.
