Chapter 1250: Meet You Again When Flowers Fall (5)
"How can you blame me for the marriage with the Du family?" Wei Yanshan said unconvincedly, "Wasn't it them who arranged Li Yuemei's matter?"
General Wei shook his head in disappointment again: "Son, you are almost thirty years old. Why do you still only judge things superficially?"
Wei Yanshan tilted his head and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Ten years ago, the oldest among them was only eleven or twelve years old. In this border town, someone wanted to do something to my eldest son. How could I not know?" General Wei patted Wei Yanshan's shoulder, "That Li Yuemei was a trap set by them, and it was also a test for you.
If someone who wants to take my position can't even see through the simplest honey trap, he can fake his own death for a woman today and be tricked into giving away information by a female spy tomorrow."
After hearing the whole truth, Wei Yanshan collapsed in his chair. It seemed that he had never thought about such a situation.
After all, he was his eldest son, so he couldn't just ignore him. He sighed softly, "Yongzhou, you can't go back. You have two choices. One is to go back to Huanzhou, be at your mother's side, and be an idle person with no worries about food and clothing.
Or, you can stay in this border town and I'll have someone arrange a non-dangerous, idle job for you, so you can spend your days there."
Looking up at his father, Wei Yanshan's eyes were full of confusion. He seemed not to understand why the other party said that!
Facing such a look, General Wei felt disgusted with him: "You really don't have good judgment. The girl from the Du family has been living in the residence of your Yongzhou Beijia Xiao Huo since she entered Yongzhou City. And whenever she goes out for a consultation, your boss will basically show up.
This already shows that the relationship between them is definitely not simple. You still want to rekindle your relationship with them, aren't you just trying to deceive Huo Xiaoye? "
How can you allow others to snore on the side of the bed?
Therefore, taking advantage of Wei Yanshan's secret departure from Yongzhou, he no longer had the position of Sigong Canjun!
After understanding what his father said, Wei Yanshan felt even more lost.
Seeing his son's distraught look, General Wei turned his back and said after a long moment, "Yanshan, do you really think that young Lord Huo, at such a young age, could have ascended to the position of Yongzhou's deputy governor simply by relying on his uncle?"
"The girl from the Du family has the resources of Taoism behind her, and she herself is a doctor who is courted by dignitaries. The two of them are together not just because they are in love, but there are other considerations involved." General Wei always thought that Du Ruoheng would be a very good resource.
Wei Yanshan opened his mouth to say something to refute his father's words, but he really couldn't think of what to say.
Instead, a small detail that he had not noticed before in Yongzhou began to flash through his mind - every time Du Ruoheng went to see patients, a carriage with the Huo family logo was waiting not far from the clinic.
He went to the doctor several times, but met Huo Xiaoye every time.
The most suspicious thing should be the attitude of Hongdou and Qingyan, who are close to Du Ruoheng, towards Huo Xiaoye. That is a courtesy that he has never received before.
Even many years ago, before the engagement was broken off, they never took me so seriously.
"So they..." Wei Yanshan's voice was dry, "have already developed feelings for each other?"
"There should be more than that." General Wei expressed his guess, "I've noticed that Du Ruoheng's travel routes in the past one or two years have basically been very close to Yongzhou, and I heard that Huo Xiaoye's whereabouts are very similar to hers.
Don’t look at Huo Xiaoye as a cold person, but his temperament is very much like a wolf, once he bites, he won’t let go.”
Thinking of a possibility, Wei Yanshan raised his head suddenly: "So this time I left Yongzhou without permission -"
"That should give him just enough reason to kick you out of Yongzhou," General Wei continued. "The memorial impeaching you was written by him himself. If it weren't for my kindness, you would have lost more than just your official position."
The truth was like ice water poured over his head, making Wei Yanshan feel cold all over.
"Okay, let's just take this as a lesson learned. Make a choice, go back to Huanzhou to be with mother, or stay here?" General Wei actually didn't want his eldest son to stay here.
Not only are the conditions in the border town harsh, but there are also frequent wars. The eldest son has difficulty walking and there is a high possibility that he will lose his life.
Wei Yanshan was silent for a long time, his eyes gradually firmed, he stood up and straightened his robe: "Father, I will stay here, but I don't want to do..."
"I only said that you would have an official position if you stayed, but I didn't say you could choose it yourself." General Wei didn't even listen to Wei Yanshan's words. "Ten years ago, if you had this kind of heart, I might have let you try. Even if I had to assign you to the vanguard battalion, I would have agreed.
But now, dragging your body around, let alone killing the enemy, even escaping will make you a step slower than others. Combat requires mutual cooperation, and I can't let you drag others down."
He originally thought that he still had a chance to make up for the "lessons he had not finished" in his youth, but his father did not give him any chance at all.
In the end, Wei Yanshan was assigned to a horse farm to manage horses. It was not a high-ranking official position, but at least he had a place to stay.
The son and daughter he left in Yongzhou were taken back to Huanzhou by Mrs. Wei to be raised.
Concubine Liu was released and her indentures returned, and she was allowed to return home with her severance pay.
