Wei Yuankai Reborn 1
How does it feel to be suffocated to death by your own wife?
The air in the chest cavity was squeezed out bit by bit, and after being suffocated, the chest also hurts badly… But no matter how painful the body is, it can’t compare with the pain in the heart. Old General Wei never imagined that his wife, who had been with him in all his life, would actually want to kill him… To him, women are nothing more than men’s attachments. They depend on men for their lives, and everything Mu Ling owns is also He gave it to Her. In the end, it was such a woman who killed him. Old General Wei was angry and hated, he wished he could catch Mu Ling and slap her twice, but then he found that he, who couldn’t move, could move!
After realizing that he could move, he rushed towards Mu Ling almost immediately, intending to beat up the vicious woman, but his body passed through Mu Ling. Old General Wei was in his fifties, had experienced countless ups and downs immediately calmed down when he missed a hit, only then did he realize that “I” was still lying on the bed “well”. He who can move now is just a soul, and now he has become a ghost… After discovering this, Old General Wei couldn’t tell what it was like in his heart, but he stopped doing useless work. He thought that since he was dead, it would be a long time before he would be chained and taken away, but he didn’t expect that he didn’t. Instead, he followed Mu Ling all the time then he saw all kinds of things about Mu Ling before she died, he thought that Mu Ling would attack him, and she would definitely not let his son and grandson go. As expected, his grandson was pushed into the river not long after.
When Wei Yuankai was young, he fought everywhere. Neither Wei Jingyao nor the children of the other two concubines had much contact with him vice versa. When they met, he just reprimanded them so that they would not learn bad things. Only this Wei Jingyao was born by Princess Pingyang. His grandson, he had more contact with and loved the most, but now, he could only watch this grandson die. Although the child is spoiled and has done wrong things, Mu Qiu is just a fool. If she dies…doesn’t she just die? Where is the need to let this child pay for his life?
Although Wei Yuankai told himself this, he was a little guilty. Seeing Mu Ling recite the scriptures to Mu Qiu over and over again whenever she was free, he felt even more mixed. He never knew that his old wife, who didn’t care about anything, would still value someone so much… If he had known, he should have paid more attention to his grandson instead of seeing that he was knowledgeable. Let Princess Pingyang son character be corrupted. After his grandson was gone, his son was gone immediately. As for Mrs. Liu… the princess, Wei Yuankai didn’t feel much about Mrs. Liu’s death. But his son… without Wei Jingyao, the Wei family would be in ruins! When Wei Yuankai was still young, his parents gave him orders, telling him to study hard and practice martial arts, so as to carry forward the declining Wei family. He has always aimed at this. In order to carry forward the Wei family, he worked hard day and night. He practiced, mastered the art of war, guarded the border, he couldn’t even go home during the New Year’s Eve. He finally earned a lot of merit, but he didn’t expect that because of a woman, all of this was for naught. Wei Jingyao is his son, also Mu Ling’s son. After calling Mu Ling’s mother for so many years, why is Mu Ling so cruel?
Wei Yuankai had many thoughts in his mind, but after seeing that Mu Ling didn’t feel any pain after killing someone, but instead relaxed, he faintly felt that his thoughts were wrong. However, no matter how much he thought about it, he was just a ghost now, and could only watch Mu Ling ruin the Wei family. When he finally saw that Mu Ling took poison in order to frame Princess Pingyang, he was even more shocked – even men, few can do things like this to ignore their own life and death. Moreover, he didn’t understand why Mu Ling would do this. She is the old lady of the Wei family, her status is noble, and she can live a comfortable life by that reason, why would she rather commit suicide by taking poison than drag her own daughter-in-law to death? Although Princess Pingyang is a bit arrogant and domineering, she has always been obedient in front of her mother-in-law and has never disobeyed anything. Mu Ling hated them so much, let’s not live a good life, but risking her life to destroy them?
Wei Yuankai was taught by a famous teacher since he was a child. He has both civil and military skills, he has dabbled in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but he has never known women. Seeing Mu Ling’s death, he felt extremely at a loss. At this moment, his eyes suddenly went dark, and he lost perception and when he opened his eyes again, he was back in his early twenties.
“Lieutenant Wei, are you feeling better?” The military doctor sat on the stool beside the bed and asked worriedly. Although this captain Wei said that his official position is not high, his family has a lot of background, so they naturally need to pay more attention.
Wei Yuankai heard the military doctor’s words, but couldn’t speak, his heart was like a stormy sea. He was already dead, but he came back to life. Looking at the furnishings in this room and the military doctor’s name, it should be when he married Mu Ling for two years and just made some meritorious service. He was twenty-two that year, and he fought a victory, but he was injured himself, due to that he finally recuperated for more than a month before he recovered. It was at this time… Wei Yuankai had just lost his memory when he saw a very familiar man come in with a similarly familiar girl:
“Captain, you are injured, you can’t be left alone, I have a younger sister, she knows a little about medicine, how about letting her take care of you?”
As soon as the young man said that, the girl’s cheeks flushed and she looked at Wei Yuankai shyly. That’s right, letting a girl serve him a big man, this “serving” has a lot of meanings. Wei Yuankai was born in a wealthy family. When he first came here, others saw that there was no one around him, so they wanted to send his daughter and sister to “serve” him, but he always remembered his mother’s explanation, knowing that if he was not married, there would be people around him. If he had asked the girl in the house, he might not be able to talk about the good daughter of a wealthy family in the end, so he refused all of them. He wanted to revitalize the Wei family, and of course he couldn’t find a good noble girl family to help him just because of his tough/rough occupation.
In the end, he did indeed find a good noble girl family. The Mu family is a scholarly family, a noble family. Deeply trusted by the Holy One, he remarried the cold-blooded presidential for the first time. He married Mu Ling, so he didn’t have to worry when he’s fighting outside. In the end, the credit went to someone else. Mu Ling’s father said a few words for him, and he had a good impression in the eyes of the Holy Majesty … I remember everything, and I have always respected Mu Ling, but Mu Ling actually ruined their Wei family!
“Captain!” Liu Dalang called again seeing Wei Yuankai’s silence.
“With my own soldiers here, I don’t need others to serve me.” Wei Yuankai said immediately.
The man and woman in front of him are Wei Yuankai’s first concubine Liu Shi in his previous life, and her elder brother Liu Dalang. Wei Yuankai hated Mu Ling now, but he hated this Liu Shi even more. No matter what happened to Mu Ling, she was his wife after all. He gave Mu Ling a high look, but Mrs. Liu was just a concubine! He has never taken Mrs. Liu seriously. Who would have thought that the last life Mrs. Liu would make his house restless? And he kindly let this woman live, but she didn’t feel satisfied and came back to stir up trouble… She was just a concubine, and she was supposed to take good care of the head of the house, but in the end she murdered the head of the house, such a woman. Anyway, it’s not worth it.
“Lieutenant, how can a girl in the soldiers know the cold and the hot?” Liu Dalang said with a smile.
But there are no girls who know the cold and the hot in the soldiers. Speaking of it, Wei Yuankai accepted Liu Shi because he was already married, knew the benefits of women, and wanted to be with someone after staying alone at the border for a long time….. However, even if he still needs to find a woman now, he will never go to Mrs. Liu. In fact, he doesn’t want to find a woman so much now. Back then he was young and vigorous, so he thought about women all day long. Now that his whole life has passed, and when he saw a woman ruin the Wei family with his own eyes, of course it is impossible for him to still think about women.
“Lieutenant Wei, do you dislike me? Don’t I look good?” Liu asked boldly. She grew up at the border and was bullied by her parents, so her temperament was completely different from the girls in the capital.
Back then, Wei Yuankai thought such a woman was innocent, but now that she has drugged Mu Ling and killed his own son-in-law, he really disliked it: “A girl ran into a man’s room shamelessly…”
Mrs. Liu seeing the disgusted expression on Wei Yuankai’s face, turned around and ran away covering her face. Seeing this, Liu Dalang apologized to Wei Yuankai, and hurriedly chased after her.
“Lieutenant, this girl from the Liu family is pretty. I don’t know how many young men like her. Why don’t you like her?” The military doctor laughed.
Wei Yuankai became a high-ranking and powerful person later on, few people dared to talk to him like that, but now this military doctor talking to him made him feel a bit fresh. He suddenly returned to when he was young. Everything before was like a dream, and he was eager to talk to others, so he said, “I have a wife…”
“Yes, captain is already married. It’s really not easy to provoke other girls.” The military doctor laughed.
“How do you say?” Wei Yuankai was taken aback when he heard the military doctor’s words. Isn’t it normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines? Although it is impossible to get a bunch of women so that you can get a lustful reputation, it is also necessary to have two concubines in addition to the main wife.
“If you provoke other girls, the wife at home will definitely be sad.” The military doctor said again.
“Why is she sad? Spend time for her husband and find someone to take good care of her husband. This is what she should do.” Wei Yuankai said.
“Captain, what nonsense are you talking about? Which wife would be happy to see or sharing her husband with other people? Last time, General Wang rescued a beautiful girl from the Rong family. He wanted to bring her back to the mansion to be a child, but his wife beat him up. It’s easy to fight.”
This military doctor has known Wei Yuankai for some years, before Wei Yuankai never talked about family matters with them, he looked a little innocent, so they never joked with Wei Yuankai, but now Wei Yuankai asked, it doesn’t hurt to talk about it. There was a jealous woman in General Wang’s family, and Wei Yuankai knew about it. He remembered that in his previous life he secretly laughed at this General Wang, a man who was being manipulated by a woman, but…
He remembered that when he was old and sick, Mu Ling just chanted Buddha and ignored him, and the two concubines only knew to ask him for things, but it was General Wang, who he once saw leaning on a cane with an old lady shopping in the spring of sunflower. Wei Yuankai fell silent again. The military doctor only thought that Wei Yuankai was still not in a good health, so he didn’t pull Wei Yuankai to talk, he packed his things and left. Wei Yuankai lay on the bed, carefully recalling his previous life, and finally realized that his previous life was very muddled. He did achieve success and fame, but it seemed like he hadn’t achieved anything… He couldn’t even have a better son. No! When he was reborn, Wei Yuankai wanted to kill Mu Ling. After all, this woman destroyed the Wei family in her previous life, but now that he calmed down, he felt it was meaningless. Let’s talk about Mrs. Liu, it’s impossible for him to kill Mu Ling before she harms him now. If so, why should he kill Mu Ling? And was all that before was true? Could it really be just a dream?
Wei Yuankai thought for a long time, but finally fell asleep because of his injuries. Wei Yuankai fell asleep for a long time, and when he woke up again, he saw one of his own soldiers coming in with bandages to dry the clothes. That soldier came here with him from the Wei family to take care of him. Wei Yuankai waved his hand and called this man to his face, then asked him about the current battle outside. He now remembers clearly what happened after his death, but he can’t remember what happen now. The soldier thought that Wei Yuankai was worried about the war outside, so he told all about the situation, and said happily, “Master, you have made great achievements this time, and I heard that you will be promoted!”
“That’s good,” Wei Yuankai said. He already knew that he would be promoted, but he was not very happy now.
“By the way, young master, young lady wrote a letter, do you want to read it, young master?” the soldier asked again.
It was only at this time that Wei Yuankai remembered that he had a very good relationship with Mu Ling when he first got married. Speaking of which, it was only after Mu Ling had no children that she started to get angry with him. Thinking of this, Wei Yuankai felt guilty for some reason, he sighed, and asked someone to read Mu Ling’s letter. Mu Ling’s handwriting was still a little immature. The letter mentioned a lot of family affairs and some things about the capital. In the end, a red bean was poured out of the envelope. After many years, Wei Yuankai completely forgot that Mu Ling, who chanted Buddha all day long, also had such times. No!… He had read this letter before, but he didn’t find any red beans in it when he read it… Wei Yuankai only remembered that Mu Ling only talked about family affairs every time she wrote a letter, he didn’t remember that she still hid it in the envelope. A red bean is such a small thought. Thinking of this, Wei Yuankai recalled that he had already let Mrs. Liu to take care of him at this time. At that time… it seemed that he asked Mrs. Liu to read the letter?
It’s normal for the girl around him to read the letter from the mistress, after all, the mistress would not write anything undignified in the letter, but this time he poured out a red bean, which made him suddenly felt … wrong. The soldier came over with the letter, and then brought out some clothes, and there were also letters sent from the capital: “Master, I heard that these handkerchiefs and purses are all made by the young lady.”
Those handkerchiefs and purses are not very good in embroidery but they are not bad. Wei Yuankai thought about that murderous Mu Ling, and then looked at these things. For some reason, he felt a little happy, but soon, this happiness turned into uncomfortable. Mu Ling, why did that happen?
“Young master, do you want to write a letter to the manor?” the soldier asked again.
Letters to the mansion are naturally to be written, every time the mansion sends something, he will write a letter back, but he doesn’t want to talk about the hardships at the border, so he often just mentions it a few times, and finally says everything is fine, don’t be worrisome. This time he picked up the pen, he originally wanted to write like this, but suddenly remembered his parents. He wholeheartedly wanted to revitalize the Wei family, his parents also wholeheartedly wanted to revitalize the Wei family. In the end, he became seriously ill and didn’t tell him, so that he didn’t take care of his parents for a few days… His mood was very complicated, so Wei Yuankai asked first whether the parents are well, let the parents take care of their health, and finally think about the recent events, he also say that he has suffered a small injury, and he should be promoted next time. When he was young, he seldom talked, but when he was old, he talked a lot. Now he was in agitated mood, and wrote several pages of miscellaneous papers. Finally, he remembered that his parents gave him a lot of things, but he seldom went home. He bring things, and let people buy some high-quality furs, and send them to the capital together with the unique wild ginseng here. After writing the letter, Wei Yuankai let go of his worries, and the next step is to recover quietly.
He was born into a family, when he was young, he was a bit arrogant, so he didn’t have many friends at the border, but after all, he was brave and resourceful in battle, so everyone valued him. This time he was injured, many people came to see him. Those who came to see Wei Yuankai, many of them were soldiers who slowly climbed up to earn an official position. In the past, Wei Yuankai would use his benefits to win them over, but he didn’t know how to make friends with them. These people chatted, he still inquired about the affairs of these people’s homes. He really didn’t understand why he fell to that point in his previous life.
“I heard that Deputy Captain Zhang recently brought a pair of siblings home and recognized then as your children?”
Wei Yuankai asked after hearing something that day. This Deputy Zhang was in his forties. When he was young, his family was destroyed by the Rong people, so he joined the army. Now he is a sixth-rank Deputy Zhenwei, working under Wei Yuankai. Wei Yuankai never cared about the affairs of his subordinates’ family in his previous life, but now he suddenly asked.
“That’s true. My wife was injured by the Rong people in order to save my sister, and she never could had a child, so I brought her two children home.” Zhang Fuwei said, “The parents of the siblings have died and it happens to have the same surname as mine, so it would be great to be taken home by me.”
“Deputy Captain Zhang didn’t want to take a concubine to have a baby?” Wei Yuankai really didn’t understand, it was said that Deputy Captain Zhang’s wife couldn’t have children, so he should take the initiative to take a concubine for Deputy Wei Zhang.
“How can this work? Doesn’t this make my wife sad?” Zhang Fuwei said: “I gave birth to another woman, how can she live at home?”
“She is the Lady, and the children will call her Mother, why bother saying making her to be sad? How can life be difficult at home?” Wei Yuankai said, in the capital, there are many women who can’t give birth or who di give birth, have raised concubine sons, and there is no problem.
“Lieutenant Wei, you are from a big family in the capital. You are different from us here. For example, if your wife gave birth to someone else, would you be happy? Do you think your wife gave birth to someone else will he treat you well? That child is not yours, do you think will he treat you well?” Deputy Zhang said.
“How can a decent woman do such a rebellious thing?” Wei Yuankai immediately changed his face, thinking of Mu Ling. Mu Ling dared to kill someone. If…Mu Ling really dared to do that, he would kill her with a knife!
“Immortal treason? It is estimated that in the capital, those scholars would say that. We have always had more men than women at the border. This is not uncommon.” Zhang Fuwei said.
Wei Yuankai’s face turned dark, but he still asked, “Is this really the case?”
“Of course!” Deputy Zhang said immediately, and then explained to Wei Yuankai, talking about a lot of things about the border.
