#389 - "Favoring One over the Other" Wei Changtian

As night fell, Wei Changtian returned to the small house again.

He first went to see Li Suyue, who had safely delivered a son, and then chatted briefly with Zhang San.

Wei Changtian didn't mention anything about Wang Qian, only smilingly instructed Zhang San to treat Li Suyue and their two children well, regardless of whether they were his biological children or not.

In fact, this reminder was a bit of unnecessary worry.

Although Zhang San's first half of life was a completely "outlaw"-like experience, he had been treating Li Suyue and her son very well since he married her.

Even now that he had his own flesh and blood, this would probably not change.

After giving a silver note to show his concern as a "superior" for his subordinate and his family, Wei Changtian quickly bid farewell to this happy family.

Zhang San sent him out of the house, while briefly reporting on the situation in Shu Prefecture over the past six months.

Wei Changtian knew that Xu Qingwan was definitely waiting for him anxiously, so he wasn't in the mood to listen. He waved his hand, told Zhang San to tell Chu Xianping these things, and prepared to leave.

However, just before leaving, he suddenly seemed to remember something.

"By the way, has the child been named? What's it called?"

"Replying to you, sir, Suyue thought of a name, but doesn't know if it's good or not."

Zhang San replied with a happy face, "She said she wanted you to give her an idea."

I'm not the child's father, why ask me?

Wei Changtian muttered in his heart, but still casually replied, "Alright, tell me."

"Yes."

Zhang San happily hurried to say a name.

"It's called Zhang Tian."

Zhang Tian?

Sure enough, it's ordinary enough.

Wei Changtian was not surprised that Li Suyue could come up with such a name, after all, although the latter knew a few words, her cultural level was only at the level of "knowing a few words".

Of course, no matter what, he would definitely not change the name she came up with, so he was about to say a few nice words and be done with it.

But just as these words were about to come out, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

Tian... Doesn't the trigram correspond to the "Qian" position?

Zhang Tian? Wang Qian?

Is this to commemorate her ex-husband?

Or is it just a coincidence?

Even if Li Suyue had never practiced martial arts and didn't understand the meaning, Zhang San was a cultivator who followed the path of Taoism, so it was impossible for him not to know.

"Zhang San, this Tian character..."

After hesitating for a moment, Wei Changtian prepared to probe indirectly.

But Zhang San seemed to know what he was going to say, and immediately nodded gently.

"Sir, I know, this Tian character corresponds to the Qian position."

"Then you..."

"..."

Turning his head to look at the room behind him, lit with warm yellow candlelight, Zhang San said very seriously, "Sir, even if Suyue did this intentionally, I am willing."

You are willing even if she did it intentionally?

"Uh, why?"

Wei Changtian looked puzzled, thinking that Zhang San couldn't possibly have a habit of wearing a "spiritual green hat"?

But the fact proved that he was completely "judging a gentleman's heart with the mind of a villain".

"Sir, if Suyue did it intentionally, then it means she is a woman of great affection and righteousness."

"If she is willing to treat her deceased husband like this, then she will also treat me like this."

"And I know very well Suyue's current affection for me, and that is already enough."

"..."

"..."

Based on the principle of not meddling in other people's business, Wei Changtian quickly shook his head and walked away.

Zhang San stood in place for a while, and then turned back to the room.

In the room, Li Suyue was sitting by the bed holding a small swaddle. Seeing him come in, she smiled and asked:

"Has the master left?"

"Yes, why did you sit up again? Lie down quickly."

"Oh dear, it's alright... Did you ask the master about the name?"

"I asked, the master said the name Zhang Tian is excellent."

"Is that so?"

As if she had received some great award, Li Suyue immediately became delighted.

She shook the baby in her arms and whispered with a smile:

"Tian'er, did you hear that?"

"From now on, your name will be Zhang Tian. The master said this name is good."

"..."

The soft candlelight swayed gently, and the half-bright, half-dark light shrouded Li Suyue's face in a haze.

Looking at this extremely harmonious scene, Zhang San also smiled, and the doubt in his heart completely dissipated.

Some questions, in fact, there is no need to know the truth.

Saying goodbye to Zhang San, he passed through the central courtyard.

Wei Changtian walked quickly, and soon saw the room with candlelight, and the figure reflected on the window paper.

When he came back the second time, he had already seen Xu Qingwan, but because Wei Changtian had to visit Li Suyue and her son, the two didn't say a few words.

And now there was finally a chance to deeply "exchange" feelings...

Standing in front of the door, Wei Changtian adjusted his state slightly.

He knew that Little Xu Comrade must have missed him very much in the past six months, so he deliberately put his tone very relaxed, and while pushing the door open, he laughed loudly in a very improper way:

"Wan'er! Your husband is back!"

"Come, let me take a good look..."

"Uh..."

The words that were halfway through came to an abrupt end, and the rogue-like lewd smile also froze on his face.

Wei Changtian immediately stopped, looking at the two beautiful women with different expressions sitting at the table, and after a long time of being stunned, he asked the one with wide eyes:

"Why the hell are you here too??"

"..."

Lu Jingyao was also in the room, which Wei Changtian had not expected.

And the former seemed to have not expected that he would be so "partial", and went straight to Xu Qingwan as soon as he returned home, not taking her, the "Madam", seriously at all.

That's all.

But the sentence "Why the hell are you here too?"... Is this what a person says?!!

Lu Jingyao became more and more angry for a while, and the joy and excitement of the reunion also dissipated for the most part.

She glared at him without speaking, but Wei Changtian was no longer embarrassed at this time.

"Well, long time no see."

"Do you have anything else to do? If not, go back to your room first, I have something to say to Wan'er."

"..."

"You!"

Finally unable to endure this "humiliation", Lu Jingyao stood up angrily, and walked towards the door without looking back.

Seeing this, Wei Changtian, who was blocking the door, quickly stepped aside to make way, and even thoughtfully helped her open the door in advance.

But just as the two passed by, the angry figure in front of him suddenly stopped.

"You..."

Like a "little daughter-in-law who has been wronged but can only swallow it herself", and like a "martyr who would rather die than yield under the enemy's torture".

Lu Jingyao suddenly stopped, and then, with red eyes and biting her lip, she trembled and asked in an incomparably aggrieved but unwilling tone:

"Are you still going to come find me later?"

"If you're not going to come... then I won't wait for you, I'll go to bed early."

Find you?

Who has that free time?

"Ah, then go to bed early, we'll talk about anything tomorrow."

Wei Changtian gave the answer without thinking, and casually added a blessing.

"Good night."

"..."

"Bang!!"

The carved wooden door slammed shut with a loud noise, and the hurried footsteps were mixed with a few "curses" such as "bastard".

Wei Changtian was distressed to check whether the wooden door was broken, while Xu Qingwan, who was standing behind him, had her small mouth slightly open, with a look of stunned surprise.

Why is the relationship between the husband and Lu-jiejie... it doesn't seem to be the same as what Lu-jiejie herself said?
