The Mute Wife Who Brings Prosperity-Chapter 564 - 531: I’ll Take Care of You (Part 2)

Yuanbao looked at the father and son in front of him. The little fellow was very clingy, holding onto Song Wei’s right arm with both hands, looking up as if he had just been saying something.

The man’s tone was gentle, exceptionally patient, answering every question his son asked, clearly and without hesitation.

Suddenly, Yuanbao recalled many years ago when he, too, stayed by Song Wei’s side like this.

Those big hands of the man, not only could they write with a pen, but they also used to help him get dressed, bathe, feed him meals, and even hold him to pee.

Now, with the gentle attention transferred to another little fellow, Yuanbao felt a subtle emotion emerge in his heart, like a sense of loss, or perhaps something else.

"Yuanbao?" Song Wei called out again when he saw him not speaking.

Yuanbao snapped out of it, shook his head, "It’s nothing. By the way, have you seen the doctor? Is your injury serious?"

"It’s not serious."

Yuanbao: "Then I’ll... head back to my room first."

After saying this, he left in a hurry without waiting for Song Wei to respond.

Originally, he had intended to take Song Wei to the Junyue Inn to meet Wang Xiaolang and clarify the truth of what had happened back then.

But as the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back down.

Wen Wan had said, remembering the wrongs of others is a tiring task.

No matter the truth of what happened back then, at least for now, in his heart, his third uncle had never treated him unfairly. He wanted to remember the goodness of his third uncle, not let a few words from a suddenly emerged uncle of many years ago create a rift in his heart.

However, the harder he tried to remain calm, the stronger his youthful curiosity became.

As a son, wanting to understand the true cause of death of one’s biological parents is the most normal thing, isn’t it? Isn’t it reasonable? Isn’t it perfectly justified?

That night, Yuanbao suffered from insomnia again, tossing and turning, unable to decide whether to see Wang Xiaolang, feeling anxious throughout the night, and by the time dawn came, he still hadn’t reached a decision.

Song Wei was injured and had already sent someone to request leave from the Divine Soldier Bureau, planning to stay home during this period of time.

During breakfast, the father and son met.

Wen Wan hadn’t mentioned that Wang Xiaolang had come to the capital, so Song Wei was unaware of the knot in Yuanbao’s heart, and seeing he didn’t seem well, he asked a concerned question.

Yuanbao responded perfunctorily, "Probably I’ve been helping the craftsmen at the Divine Soldier Bureau these past few days, and it’s worn me out."

After over ten years as father and son, how could Song Wei not see he was lying?

However, he chose not to expose it.

Once Yuanbao finished breakfast and went to the Imperial College, Song Wei then went to the Qingteng Residence.

Wen Wan had just woken up not long ago, Qi Bao was being carried away by the wet nurse for feeding. She leaned against the headboard, drinking porridge sent by her mother-in-law.

Granny Song sat in front of the couch, sighing, "What’s wrong with Third Son? He’s almost been promoted right in front of the Emperor, yet something goes wrong and he’s unlucky. Third Lang’s wife, didn’t you notice anything amiss before he went out?"

Wen Wan put down a small bowl, Yun Cai quickly handed a cloth, she wiped her mouth, sent the servants away before speaking, "Mother, Third Son went too far away, I can’t sense if anything would go wrong with him."

"Did you give him the peace charm?"

"I did." Wen Wan nodded, "But it seems to have been of no use."

With her heavy body making it hard to move, Wen Wan hadn’t gone out of the city to Fahua Temple. This peace charm was obtained at the Da’an Temple in the west of the city.

No one knew if the Da’an Temple’s peace charm was ineffective, or if any peace charm used on Song Wei was useless.

Just then, the wet nurse came in holding Qi Bao, and accompanying her was Song Wei.

Wen Wan saw him immediately and stopped the conversation as she took Qi Bao from the wet nurse’s arms.

Granny Song quickly asked, "Third Son, how are you feeling today?"

"I’m fine now." Song Wei’s expression was gentle, "Mother, did you come over so early?"

Granny Song and Wen Wan exchanged a glance, nodded, "I came to bring porridge for your wife, and to keep her company for a while."

After speaking, she got up to pack the small bowl and food box on the table, "I have things to do, you spend more time with her."

Song Wei replied, "Alright."

After Granny Song left, Song Wei then sat down.

He must have just drunk his medicine, as there was a faint scent of medicinal herbs on him.

Wen Wan adjusted her sitting posture and asked him, "With such an injury, how long did you take leave?"

"A month." Song Wei replied, "It’s just enough time to be with you during your confinement."

Having just given birth, a woman’s thoughts were inevitably more sensitive than usual. Suddenly hearing such words, it brought an indescribable warmth.

Wen Wan couldn’t deny that she felt touched.

She smiled slightly, "Isn’t the Divine Soldier Bureau busy? Mr. Song is not afraid of being a hindrance?"

Song Wei: "Finding leisure amidst busyness to accompany you isn’t good?"

"It’s good." Wen Wan raised her eyebrows, "But we have another child now, with money flowing out every day, you take a month off, who will support the family?"

Song Wei chuckled, "Then it seems in this month, I’ll have to rely on Wanwan to support me."

"Alright, I’ll support you." Wen Wan said, "I have money, as long as you don’t visit brothels or gamble, I can support you for a lifetime."

Song Wei looked at her, "At such a young age, daring to promise a lifetime to someone, do you know how long a lifetime is?"

"I don’t know." Wen Wan shook her head, "Whenever my husband lives to, I’ll follow till then."

Song Wei looked toward her side, the little girl in swaddling was awake, with bright black eyes, seemingly listening very seriously to her parents talking.

Song Wei couldn’t hold her, so he leaned over and touched her little face.

Perhaps the fatherly affinity from Song Wei was too strong, Wen Wan always felt her daughter looked at him twice.

This person seemed to always be very liked by children.

Judging from Jinbao’s behavior, Wen Wan could already imagine how Qi Bao would be clinging to her father in the future.

After silently exchanging with her daughter for a while, Song Wei spoke, "Wanwan, was Yuanbao in some trouble during the time I wasn’t around?"

Wen Wan pondered for a moment and still said, "It’s because Wang Family Young Master came."

"Wang Family Young Master?"

"Yuanbao’s real uncle, for some unknown reason suddenly came to the capital to talk to him about his heritage, also telling him that Da Lang and his wife died because of you." Wen Wan sighed, "I had a premonition that things weren’t going well, Yuanbao’s innate restlessness burst out this time, and his relationship with you...

I didn’t prepare in advance because regarding his biological parents, he’ll know sooner or later. If we say it, it feels like hiding. Even if others add oil and vinegar, he is already fifteen years old, and it’s time for him to learn to judge right from wrong himself.

Also, I want to know if his fifteen years of father-son affection with you can withstand someone’s provocation."

At this point, Wen Wan looked at Song Wei, "Husband, you won’t blame me for acting on my own accord, will you?"

"Nevermind." Song Wei said, "For fifteen years, he has always been well-protected. It’s time for him to make a decision for himself."

Wen Wan saw he wasn’t angry and sighed in relief, "He might still be struggling now, and in a few days, he will invite you to meet his uncle." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Song Wei’s tone was calm, "No problem."
