#6 - There is no normal person in the family.

Wei Manor.

Just as Xiao Feng was rushing here, Wei Changtian and Lu Jingyao had just come out of Qin Caizhen's place.

Lu Jingyao's status was that of a concubine, so the ceremony for entering the household was very simple.

A small sedan chair carried her through the door, she paid respects to the ancestral tablets of the Wei family, and met her mother-in-law, which was basically the end of it. She wasn't even allowed to meet the guests who came to offer their congratulations; Wei Xianzhis handled everything.

Lu Jingyao was quite cooperative today. Although she secretly wiped away tears several times, she didn't try to kill herself again, so it seemed she had made a choice in her heart.

However, there was one thing she still couldn't let go of.

"Wei Changtian, I have something to say to you."

When the group arrived near a rockery, she suddenly stopped, her expression seemed somewhat conflicted, and her voice was very soft.

Wei Changtian also stopped, turning his face to her and coldly reminding her, "What should you call me?"

"…"

Lu Jingyao's expression instantly froze. After a long while, she gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and tremblingly changed her form of address.

"H-Husband…"

"…"

He had her! Completely had her!

The moment those two words, as faint as a mosquito's hum, came out of her mouth, Wei Changtian couldn't help but want to laugh out loud on the spot.

He seemed to suddenly understand why "women don't love bad men".

The harder it is to conquer, the greater the sense of accomplishment; the easier it is to obtain, the less it will be cherished.

So… being a simp is absolutely out of the question!

Although he was secretly pleased, Wei Changtian remained outwardly calm and instructed the maids in front of him, "You guys go further away."

"Yes, Young Master."

These maids all knew that their young master and madam were not "mutually in love", so upon hearing this, they immediately hid far away, afraid of hearing something they shouldn't and getting into trouble.

Seeing them walk away, Wei Changtian then walked to a gazebo and sat down, looking at the graceful Lu Jingyao and asking, "What do you want to say?"

"Speak… as long as it's not to plead for Xiao Feng."

"…"

The words Lu Jingyao was about to blurt out were immediately blocked.

She lowered her head and remained silent for a while, then suddenly took a step closer and sat next to Wei Changtian, her jade hand gently reaching out and unexpectedly taking the initiative to take the latter's arm.

Soon, a gentle whisper sounded in Wei Changtian's ear.

"Husband, in fact, this humble servant and Xiao Feng are just acquaintances."

"The reason I said that before was just… just a way of saying I didn't want to marry into the Wei family."

"But now that I have worshiped heaven and earth with my husband… moreover, after talking last night, this humble servant already knows that my husband is not as tyrannical as the rumors say, and has actually entrusted my entire heart to my husband."

"So, Xiao Feng's life and death doesn't matter, but this humble servant doesn't want my husband to kill an innocent person because of me…"

"…"

Good heavens! This woman actually has such schemes?

A gentle breeze surrounded them, and Wei Changtian couldn't help but be a little surprised after hearing Lu Jingyao's "sincere confession".

Although this speech was full of loopholes in his eyes, it might actually be the only way to save Xiao Feng's life.

After all, Lu Jingyao didn't know about the blood feud between the Wei family and Xiao Feng, and only thought that he insisted on killing the stranger Xiao Feng entirely out of "hatred for stealing his wife."

After pondering for a moment, Wei Changtian didn't directly expose Lu Jingyao, but instead gently pried open her hand that was clutching his sleeve, and smiled lightly, "You don't need to be so nervous."

Lu Jingyao trembled slightly, barely concealing the panic on her face: "This matter is my fault, so I'm naturally nervous that my husband will punish me."

"Heh heh."

Wei Changtian squinted at her: "You were mutually in love, what's your fault?"

"This… this humble servant and Xiao Feng are really innocent, how could we talk about love."

Lu Jingyao's tone seemed a little aggrieved: "Does my husband not believe me?"

"Whether I believe you or not is another matter."

Wei Changtian shook his head, pulled his arm out of her soft embrace, and turned to look at the hydrangeas blooming outside the gazebo.

The dense branches and leaves were neatly trimmed, almost blocking half a person's view.

"Today is our wedding day no matter what, I don't want to talk about Xiao Feng."

"If you still insist on pleading… wait until tomorrow."

Wei Changtian thought that Xiao Feng would probably kick the bucket tonight, so he was too lazy to waste any more words with Lu Jingyao.

The latter, however, didn't know that her beloved was already in a life-or-death situation, and thought that her words had worked, and was immediately overjoyed.

But just as she was about to say something more to consolidate her "victory", a burst of intense dog barking suddenly came from not far away.

"Ooo! Woof woof woof!"

The dog's barking was very miserable, as if it was being subjected to some inhumane abuse.

Wei Changtian and Lu Jingyao turned their heads together, and then saw the branches and leaves in the flowerbed suddenly shake wildly, followed by a person and a dog rushing straight out of the hydrangea bushes.

"Giggle giggle! Big Ghost, run!"

"Big brother, look quickly! I'm riding a dog!"

"…"

Wei Changtian stared blankly at the little girl riding on the big black dog with incomparable pride, and swallowed hard.

If he guessed correctly, this little grandaunt with such a cool entrance should be his only sibling, Wei Qiaoling.

There was no description of this character in the novel. Wei Changtian had originally hoped that she would be a well-behaved and soft little loli, but the result…

Which loli would ride a dog??

And this dog's name!

Big Ghost?

Are you serious??

Whoosh~

Wei Changtian's heart shattered into a million pieces in an instant, but Wei Qiaoling didn't know that she had already been disliked by her big brother. After jumping off the dog, she took small steps and ran over "ton ton ton", her dark, shiny eyes full of curiosity.

"Big brother! Who is this?"

"Oh."

Wei Changtian tactically leaned back, dodging a small devil's claw that was trying to wipe snot on his clothes: "This is your sister-in-law."

"Sister-in-law…"

Wei Qiaoling's "crime failed", so she had no choice but to wipe her snot on the big black dog's head, and then asked with some doubt: "What is a sister-in-law?"

Wei Changtian explained helplessly: "Sister-in-law is my wife, your brother's wife."

"Wife! I know!"

Wei Qiaoling clapped her little hands and showed off triumphantly: "Grandpa's wife is grandma! Daddy's wife is mother! Big brother's wife is sister-in-law! Big Ghost's wife is Big Meow!"

"Big Meow?"

Wei Changtian felt a sense of foreboding: "Big Meow is…"

"It's the big fat cat that often lies on the roof!"

"…"

Sure enough! He shouldn't have asked!

Even a dog is so perverted, so besides himself, is there any normal creature in the entire Wei family??

Wei Changtian was afraid that he would hear more unbelievable things if he continued to talk, so he quickly changed the subject and asked: "Why did you run here?"

Wei Qiaoling pinched her fingers and replied truthfully: "Daddy asked me to come, he wants me to call big brother over."

"Okay, I'll go now."

Wei Changtian knew that Wei Xianzhis must want to discuss the matter of killing Xiao Feng with him, so his expression immediately became serious. He turned to Lu Jingyao and said, "You play with Qiaoling for a while."

"Okay, I know."

Lu Jingyao didn't hate Wei Changtian so much anymore, let alone "hate the crow on the roof" the little girl Wei Qiaoling who didn't understand anything.

"Qiaoling."

After Wei Changtian walked away, she smiled and bent down to ask: "Is it okay if I play with you?"

"Okay!"

Wei Qiaoling nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice, her appearance quite cute: "Sister-in-law, let's go catch frogs!"

"Catch frogs?"

Lu Jingyao, who had been learning music, poetry, and literature since she was a child, and could only do needlework in her spare time, had never done such a thing before, and was a little curious for a while: "What do you do with catching frogs?"

"Catch them to feed Little Green!"

"Little Green?"

"It's the long worm I raised! Its body is very long!"

"…"
