When getting off the carriage, Song Wei paid the copper coin, and the driver turned around to leave.
Uncle Lin, who had returned earlier, had already unloaded the carriage and gone to the inverted room to rest.
Song Wei and the others headed straight to the backyard.
Granny Song saw her daughter-in-law holding a large cloth tiger, and had already guessed the reason she hadn’t returned imdiately from school today, so she didn’t ask any questions, only instructed Mrs. Jin to start cooking.
Then she called Yuanbao to the side to ask him a question.
Wen Wan took the son from her mother-in-law’s arms, sat on the small couch, and handed him the cloth tiger.
The little guy was particularly fond of new toys, very curious about the cloth tiger that was larger than him, hugged it with both hands, and rolled over on the small couch, giggling.
Song Wei sat next to the small couch, reaching out to guard the edge to prevent his son from falling off, and taking advantage of the fact that both parents’ attention was on Yuanbao, he asked Wen Wan in a low voice, "Staying behind today wasn’t just to buy the cloth tiger, right?"
Knowing her smart husband, nothing could escape those perceptive eyes, Wen Wan didn’t intend to hide anything, and said truthfully: "I had a premonition that sothing bad might happen, but I’ve already avoided it. It’s nothing, you don’t need to worry, husband."
"Is it related to the Su Family?" Song Wei asked.
Wen Wan wanted to say no, but felt that honesty was essential between a couple, so she nodded, "Soone found out about my identity and planned to kidnap to threaten you into finding a way to reinstate Su Xiang in court."
Indeed, it sounded like the style of the Su Family.
Song Wei fell silent.
Wen Wan persuaded him, "For now, I can still protect myself. What’s most important for you is to perform well in the governnt office. Only then, when the year of political assessnt cos, can you ascend step by step. I don’t want you to confront the Su Family just for my sake, even if all their officials are temporarily suspended. A dead cal is still bigger than a horse; with our family’s status, we can’t possibly compete against the Pri Minister Mansion, not to ntion they have the Empress behind them."
Song Wei didn’t respond, Wen Wan assud he agreed with her words, and she felt a hint of joy. After the family finished dinner and returned to the East Wing, closing the door, Song Wei finally spoke to her: "I spend half my ti every day in the governnt office, so if sothing happens to you suddenly, I might not be able to arrive at the first mont, naturally, I also won’t be able to protect you in the first mont."
Wen Wan was about to say it didn’t matter, but before she could speak, she heard the man’s voice co through, "I have a group of people, they were originally the Hidden Guard of your godfather and godmother. However, as they went to Ningzhou, they couldn’t use them, so they left them behind before leaving, saying that they would use them to protect your safety. These people are always hidden, in the future, if you encounter sothing that your own strength can’t resolve when I’m not around, call out the Dark Guard Leader Wei Qian, and let him take people to help you out."
Wen Wan always felt that her relationship with her godfather and godmother was limited to the day of departure. After all, it was hurriedly settled, apart from her appearance being excessively similar to her godmother, which brought a bit of emotional attachnt, the depth of feelings was not quite realistic.
So it was a surprise to Wen Wan that her godfather and godmother would leave Hidden Guards to protect her.
"Actually, they might need them more than I do." Wen Wan said.
The godfather and godmother had such a big feud with the Su Family, even if the two of them requested to be removed from the clan and went to Ningzhou, with Su Xiang’s vengeful nature, it’s impossible for them to let it go. The godmother is also pregnant; if Su Xiang plots sothing, the consequences could be unthinkable.
"They did take away portions." Song Wei replied, "Since the rest are left for you, you should use them well in the future, no matter what, protecting yourself is what’s important."
For so reason, Wen Wan always felt that there was profound aning in her husband’s words, but she couldn’t figure out what it was despite racking her brain, so she could only nod, "I understand, the Dark Guard Leader is called Wei Qian. In the future, when I run into trouble that I can’t handle myself, I can call him out to help imdiately."
Song Wei was pleased with her obedient reaction, lips curled in a faint smile, one that contained the warmth and tolerance of soone his age.
"But, why were they arranged to protect ?" Wen Wan asked the question in her heart, "I have no kinship with them, those Hidden Guards, even if they were to protect soone, should be protecting Lu Yanqing. Lu Yanqing was exiled to a bitter cold place three thousand miles away, and could succumb at any ti."
Song Wei saw her analyzing seriously and couldn’t help but laugh, "Just consider it as compensation from your godfather and godmother to . Now I transfer all the Hidden Guards to you, letting them protect you at any ti and place."
