Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother

"Wei Yang..."

"He's back." Wei Yang looked into the distance, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, this was the unique smile he had whenever he thought of Yong Yu, "Yong Yu is back."

"What?" Rong He was struck by lightning, and his mind was in a mess for a moment.

Su Yongyu, the man who had disappeared for more than ten years, unexpectedly returned to the capital and appeared in front of Wei Yang.

He clenched his fists.

Why at this time? There had been no news for so many years. Just when he had just made a vow to start a new life, Yongyu appeared and wanted to compete with him for the person he loved.

"Yongyu said he would never leave again." When Wei Yang said this, his eyes were full of joy, as if he had returned to that hopeful youth.

Although time has passed, the feelings in her heart have never changed.

Rong He's face became increasingly gloomy, and anger surged in his originally calm heart. The veins on his clenched fists were bulging, and his whole body exuded a strong hostility. This kind of anger was more unbearable than the setbacks he suffered on the battlefield.

Su Yongyu, he kept chewing on this name in his mind, with anger burning in his eyes.

He turned around and walked away with big strides.

Wei Yang watched his receding figure, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. They were both people with ill-fated lives, falling in love with someone who would never look them in the eye.

She couldn't deceive her own heart. After so many years, that feeling had never faded.

"Yongyu, why did you leave back then?" she asked Su Yongyu.

Su Yongyu's eyes were full of sadness and reluctance, but he did not answer. Let the past be the past, the future is still long.

……

In the main hall of the imperial palace, the emperor was honoring the soldiers who had returned triumphantly from the frontier.

Rong He's face was stern and he exuded a chill.

Rong Mingxuan felt uneasy when he saw his uncle returning with an unhappy look on his face, and was afraid that he had angered the emperor.

The haze in Rong He's heart became thicker and thicker, and his eyes flashed with anger. People around him were frightened by his appearance and retreated. There was a dead silence in the hall, and occasionally someone secretly glanced at his expression.

The emperor looked at Rong He quietly and asked majestically: "General Rong, do you have any request?"

Rong Mingxuan gently reminded Rong He, worried that he was distracted and didn't hear the emperor's questions.

Rong He raised his head and looked at the emperor fiercely, and the words he had prepared in his heart almost came out of his mouth. He knew that as long as he opened his mouth, no matter what request he made, the emperor would agree, even if it meant marrying Wei Yang.

"Your Majesty..." Rong He's voice trembled a little.

He longed to marry Wei Yang and was willing to do so even if it meant being forced, just to keep her by his side.

"General Rong, please feel free to speak up." The emperor said calmly, with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes. He understood Rong He's inner struggle, and he was most afraid of this man who did not seek fame and fortune. The only one who could restrain him was perhaps the woman he loved deeply, but...

The emperor frowned slightly. He couldn't use his sister's happiness as a bargaining chip to win over his subjects.

Everyone in the hall focused their attention on Rong He. He opened his lips slightly and said, "Your Majesty..."

The words came to his lips but he couldn't say them. This was the best time for him to propose, but if he missed this time, the chances in the future would be slim.

Ronghe's expression became solemn.

Finally, he said slowly: "I have no other request."

Although he said this, the reluctance in his eyes and the severe pain in his heart were clearly revealed, which was even more unbearable than the serious injuries on the battlefield.

He thought of Wei Yang's bright smile, and those bright eyes with a gentle smile. If he forced her to marry him, her stubborn character might make her choose to become a nun.

He valued her too much to see her smile disappear. But it also meant it wasn't over.

Ronghe lowered his head, a glimmer of determination flashed in his eyes. Now that he was back, he would not let go easily. The concession ten years ago had already caused regrets, and this time he was determined not to let the same mistake happen again.

Walking out of the palace, Rong He still had a melancholy look on his face, and he exuded an aura that kept people at a distance.

Rong Mingxuan approached and asked with concern: "Uncle, what happened?"

Rong He looked towards the distant *** palace, his expression indifferent, he shook his head gently and said, "It's okay."

Wei Yang waited in the palace for a long time. Although she knew Rong He would not force others, she still felt uneasy. The emperor revealed the news to her, obviously to let her prepare.

Faced with General Rong's prominent status, if she really wants to consolidate the relationship between the monarch and his subjects through marriage, how should she choose?

Wei Yang frowned, struggling internally.

At this time, the personal maid Honglian approached and said, "General Rong accepted the reward and has now left the palace."

Wei Yang's heart tightened and he looked at Honglian.

Honglian nodded slightly, signaling Wei Yang not to worry, "General Rong was conferred the title of Duke, and is called Duke Rong, and General Rong Mingxuan." Honglian counted all the rewards, and Wei Yang was relieved to hear that there was no mention of marriage.

"Duke Rong is truly a good general who is both loyal and brave!" Honglian exclaimed.

"Yes." Wei Yang agreed softly. The three of them grew up together, and she knew Rong He very well. There was no one in the world with a stronger sense of justice and loyalty than him.

……

The Duke's Mansion was filled with jubilation, and the Rong family was in high spirits. The Rong family had now become the object of competition among the major families in the capital, especially the several young generals who were not yet married, who were coveted by the noble ladies.

"We must celebrate our triumphant return this time. We will hold a banquet the day after tomorrow to entertain all the major families in the capital!" Old Master Rong said with a smile, stroking his beard and looking at the children and grandchildren of the Rong family with satisfaction.

When he saw Ronghe, his eyes paused for a moment and his brows knitted slightly. He had heard that the first person Ronghe visited after entering the palace was not the emperor, but Wei Yang.

Many years have passed, and even though he has been fighting against foreign enemies on the border, he still cannot forget that woman.

"He'er." Old Master Rong said earnestly, "Your status is different now. Do you still need to hide your identity as a Duke?"

"Old Master." Rong He was silent for a moment, his facial expression changed several times, and finally he suppressed his complicated emotions, "Invite one more family to this banquet."

"Which one?"

"Su family, Su Yongyu." Rong He said the name calmly, but his heart was filled with waves and he clenched his fists unconsciously.

He and Su Yongyu used to be close friends. Although they had different personalities, they shared similar interests. However, ever since he developed feelings for Wei Yang, their relationship became increasingly distant, until Su Yongyu left Beijing, and they have not seen each other for more than ten years.

"You kid." Old Master Rong understood Rong He's thoughts and couldn't help but sigh.

"Su family?"

After hearing this, Rong Mingxuan frowned slightly, wondering what the connection was between the Su family and his uncle?

"The Duke's Mansion is hosting a banquet to welcome distinguished guests and has sent an invitation to you, sir." The Su family's housekeeper respectfully presented the invitation. When Su Yongyu took it, his expression became serious, and his deep eyes revealed complex emotions.
