Chapter 596： Wishful thinking

Wei Ruoye had an embarrassed look on his face, glanced at Xiumei and others who were glaring at him and Wei Jinyi with strange eyes, and quickly pushed Wei Jinyi's wheelchair and left first.

 Xiumei, Xiaobei, Zhang Yi, and Yu Zixiu, who stayed where they were, looked at each other in confusion.

"That... Xiaobei, Brother Zhang, Butler Yu, is it my imagination? Why do I feel that the relationship between my young lady and the prince seems to be a little different..." Xiumei's expression was full of doubts and curiosity.

Xiao Bei nodded heavily: "I feel the same way. I feel that the relationship between the master and the eldest lady seems to be closer than before!"

Zhang Yize said: "I heard them talking about having children just now. They are planning to have children themselves, right?"

 Zhang Yi turned around and asked Yu Zixiu: "Old Yu, you are very close. Please tell me if this is what you heard."

"I can't argue with this matter, but the prince and the eldest lady are husband and wife, and it is natural for them to have children."

Yu Zixiu still looked rigid and serious.

"Why are you always so uninterested? Today is a rare happy day, can't you get rid of your prude skin?" Zhang Yi couldn't help but muttered.

 “This is who I am, if you are dissatisfied, go find someone else.”

Yu Zixiu left after speaking.

Zhang Yi had no choice but to shout at his back: "Don't ever think about marrying a wife like Brother Ke! Just prepare to die alone!"

Zhang Yi, who received no response after shouting, turned to Xiao Bei beside him and said, "Xiao Bei, do you think I am right? People like Lao Yu will never be able to marry a wife in the future."

"I don't understand this..." Xiaobei kept looking at Xiumei when he spoke.

Xiumei didn't notice this. All she could think about now was the conversation between Wei Ruo and Wei Jinyi just now.

　　###

 Wei Ruo sent Wei Jinyi back to Yingzhu Garden and immediately returned to his room.

 After closing the door and sitting on the bed, Wei Ruo couldn't help but recall Wei Jinyi's words just now in his mind.

 Really, why did you agree to it?

But... I will give birth to a child with my second brother...a white and fat little baby, who may look like my second brother or her.

This... doesn't seem to be unacceptable.

 If...if you want to have a child, you have to...you have to consummate the marriage...

Wei Ruo's face couldn't help but blush at the thought of consummating the marriage.

 Then Wei Jinyi's body appeared in his mind again.

She has seen the second brother's body several times, especially this time when the second brother was injured. She really saw 95% of his body, leaving only one key point that she had never seen before.

Wei Ruo didn't have any evil thoughts when he was treating his injuries and changing the dressing, but when he thought about it now, Wei Ruo felt his cheeks turn red and a feeling of embarrassment welled up in his heart.

Even couldn't help but recall the feeling of her hand on that chest.

Although the second brother looks weak in culture, in fact, because he is a martial arts practitioner, the flesh on his body is very strong, hard to the touch, and feels good in the hand.

Especially in the abdomen, the muscles are clearly defined, and it looks like the result of constant exercise.

Thinking like this, Wei Ruo felt that his body was getting hot.

Thinking about it, Wei Ruo couldn't help but hit his head. Wei Ruo, Wei Ruo, what are you thinking about? Why are you thinking about consummating your marriage with your second brother and having a baby in broad daylight?

 It must be because I didn’t sleep well!

 She needs to catch up on her sleep immediately!

Wei Ruo quickly lay back on the bed, covered himself with a quilt and slept.

　　It was already afternoon when he woke up again. Wei Ruo called Zhang Yi and told him to take care of the adoption of orphans.

Jiliao Land has been a bitter cold place since ancient times, but when the famine broke out recently, it was better than those places with serious disasters, so many people fled here.

And some of these fleeing people are not very old. They are lonely and have no food to eat.

Within a few days, Zhang Yi and others found eight children, including boys and girls. The oldest one was an eight-year-old boy, and the youngest one was a girl about one year old.

 They brought the people to Wei Ruo.

Several children stood in two rows and looked timidly at Wei Ruo who was sitting in the hall.

Wei Ruo was a little surprised when he saw the little girl who could barely stand. Wei Ruo didn't expect that such a young girl could survive until now during the escape.

So Wei Ruo asked carefully about the little girl, and found out that the girl was the sister of the oldest boy, and that the boy had protected her all the way to this point.

Wei Ruo couldn't help but look at the boy a few more times, and specifically asked the boy's name.

"May I have your name?"

"My name is Gou Wa." The boy's eyes were sharp and alert when he spoke, and he did not let down his guard against Wei Ruo.

 “You are very powerful.” Wei Ruo praised.

Gouwa pursed her lips and said nothing, her small eyes showing adult-like stability and alertness.

“From now on, you will be the eldest brother of these children, and you must get along well with everyone.” Wei Ruodao.

 “Are you really going to give us food and shelter?” Gouwa asked without answering.

"Do I have a reason to lie to you? Is there anything in you that is worthy of my lying?" Wei Ruo asked with a smile.

Gouwa was silent for a moment and then said: "As long as you give me and my sister food, I can do whatever you want."

"For now, I just hope that you can grow up healthy and happy, and then study and be literate. In the future, I may have more expectations for you, such as I hope you will be a good person, I hope you can protect your home and country, and I hope you will be poor. If you are good at yourself, you can help the world at the same time, but that is a matter for the future." Wei Ruodao.

Gouwa stared at Wei Ruo, seeming to be thinking about the authenticity of what Wei Ruo said.

Wei Ruo smiled lightly, and then said to the other children: "From now on, you guys can live here with peace of mind. I will arrange for someone to cook for you here and take care of your daily life. I will also find someone to come here in a few days." I’ll give you lessons and teach you how to read and write.”

Although these children are young, most of them are very precocious. They all looked confused and shocked when they listened to Wei Ruo's words.

Wei Ruo felt from their expressions that they didn't really believe what they said.

Wei Ruo was not surprised by this. After suffering all the way and experiencing all kinds of starvation and food grabbing, a person suddenly appeared and said that he would provide them with an environment where they could live and work in peace and contentment. No one would easily believe it.

Wei Ruo also knew that whether they believed what she said or not, they would accept her arrangement, because she gave her food and a place to live, and they could not refuse such treatment.

 After a brief questioning, Wei Ruo asked people to take the children to a house next to the palace.

This house has been bought by Wei Ruo and has been repaired. It will be used as a place to adopt orphans.
