NOVEL NEXT Chapter 40:
Sure enough!
Wei Hanzhang narrowed his eyes and gave a solemn salute: "Thank you for your two helpings."
“You’re welcome,” Chen Zishu nodded slightly, his smile unchanged, and said softly: “Take it, this ointment will be good for the wounds on your face.”
Wei Hanzhang: “…”
There were so many people and she really didn’t want to talk to the man for too long, so she pursed her lips and declined again: “It’s really not necessary.”
After saying that, he didn’t care about etiquette, and without waiting for the other party’s reaction, he pulled his cousin and left quickly.
…………
On the carriage back home, Wei Hanshuang didn't seem to have recovered from the scene just now. She looked at her cousin and didn't know what she was thinking.
Wei Hanzhang didn't realize it at all. She drank two cups of tea in a row to relieve the long-pressed anger in her heart. She took a deep breath to calm down and apologized: "I have caused trouble for my sister today."
"What are you talking about? We are sisters. We can't write two characters in one sentence. How can I still watch you being made difficult for and say nothing?"
Thinking of the previous incident, Wei Hanshuang was also a little confused: "But why did Qi Yuxiao target you?"
"Today is the first time I see her," Wei Hanzhang smiled bitterly: "I wish I knew where I offended her."
These days, she doesn't even leave the house. She goes to the yard next door every day. Even if she wants to offend someone, she has no place to do so.
Wei Hanzhang really didn't understand where he had offended the princess.
The first time I met this noble princess, I was warned to let go of things that didn’t belong to her...
It sounds like she has set her sights on something of her own?
Wei Hanshuang suddenly said, "Speaking of which, I heard Liniang say something the day before yesterday. Doesn't it really have anything to do with it?"
Wei Hanzhang turned his head and looked at her: "What's the matter?"
"The Gu family's house in Beijing was given by the imperial court, and it happens to be next door to Li Niang's house." Wei Hanshuang said hesitantly with a worried look in his eyes: "Li Niang said she saw Qi Yuxiao entering Gu's house more than once."
? ?
Wei Hanzhang was stunned for a long time.
Princess Chengyi goes to the Gu family?
More than once?
The Gu family is a prominent family in Xuzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, but it has no foundation in the capital. Not to mention having contact with the Duke of Qi State, even ordinary noble families don't know a few of them.
Qi Yuxiao, such an arrogant and pampered lady, actually came to visit her?
Combined with that sentence: let go of things that don’t belong to her as soon as possible, there is nothing unclear.
Did Qi Yuxiao fall in love with Gu Yunran, and when she learned that she was discussing marriage with her sweetheart, she came to seek trouble out of jealousy?
So... today's disaster... was Gu Yunran's fault for causing her to suffer?
Wei Hanzhang reasoned things out clearly and straightened out his thoughts. When he raised his head, he saw Wei Hanshuang's worried face.
She was startled and said with a smile: "Sixth sister, don't worry, it's useless for her to take a fancy to her. Gu Yunran definitely doesn't have that intention. It doesn't matter if there are some twists and turns in the marriage. Good things come in a long way."
Childhood sweethearts grew up together, and Wei Hanzhang still had some confidence in this. She would only be pessimistic about the marriage a few years or more than ten years later, but for now, Gu Yunran's young heart was all about her. There is absolutely no duplicity in the body.
"..." Wei Hanshuang saw her innocent little face. After a few breaths of silence, he opened the carriage curtain and looked to both sides to make sure no one was approaching. Then he whispered, "Why hasn't Mr. Gu family come to look for you these days?"
"that is because…"
"Ran Ran!" Wei Hanshuang interrupted her and said angrily: "Do you know how the marriage between Princess Changle and the prince of Qi came about?"
Wei Hanzhang was asked by her and remembered the "secret stories" that Jiang told her that were known to everyone in the capital. One of them was about Princess Changle. Jiang said that the current prince-in-law, the eldest son of the Duke of Qi, had a wife before, and was not from a small family. She was the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Ziyi, and she was also a famous and talented woman in the capital at that time.
They are talented and good-looking, with similar family backgrounds, and they are married. Less than two years after their marriage, their eldest son was born, and their relationship is even more sweet.
Until one time when the Crown Prince of Qi came to the palace to report on his duties, Princess Changle bumped into her. At that time, Princess Changle had just grown her hair and was at the age of Huaichun. When she saw the Crown Prince, her whole heart fell on him.
After finding out his identity and knowing that he already had a wife, she refused to give up and begged His Majesty to arrange a marriage for her.
Princess Changle is His Majesty’s eldest daughter. As a child, she can get anything she wants, including men.
There was some news in the palace. Within a few days, Prince Qi divorced his wife. Within three months, Princess Changle entered the palace with great grace.
At this point, the royal princess is just robbing men domineeringly, but the subsequent results are even more frightening.
The good daughter was abandoned home, but Ziyi Houfu did not dare to discuss her justice at all. She could only close the portal and swallowed her voice.
I thought that after a few years, no one would talk about it and the matter would be over. Unexpectedly, within a year, something happened that instantly overturned the century-old prince's mansion.
The reason is that Zi Yihou, who has always been cautious in his words and deeds, suddenly made wild and arrogant remarks after being drunk. Every word was full of dissatisfaction with the emperor and the father and daughter of the Tian family.
On the second day, he was accused of "disobedience" by his political enemies in the court.
The emperor was furious, and with a wave of his imperial pen, he sentenced all the men in the Ziyihou Mansion to be beheaded, and the women to be thrown into the Jiaofang Division.
From then on, the matter of the princess **** her husband was finally over.
Taken seriously about this matter, the father and daughter of the Tian family are actually unreasonable, but this is the ancient time when the king let his ministers die and the ministers had to die. The king who holds the power of life and death is himself justified.
Your Majesty's eldest daughter just wants a man. Even if she breaks up her marriage and gets him, there is nothing wrong with her.
And now Princess Changle's daughter also falls in love with Gu Yunran, who is discussing marriage...
Wei Hanzhang knew that his cousin was worried that his marriage would be disrupted by Qi Yuxiao, the daughter of the princess.
This princess who has been pampered and grown up is just like Princess Changle's domineering temperament when she was young. Maybe she will do whatever it takes to get her wish for the man she likes.
If this is really the case, then...it can only be said that she and Gu Yunran should not be destined to get married.
…………
The fact that the two girls in the family were being made difficult by the princess quickly spread to the ears of the elders of the Wei Mansion.
They were better informed, and Qi Yuxiao had no intention of covering up her whereabouts when she went to the Gu Mansion... However, after a little exploration, they all knew the whole story of this difficulty.
If the juniors had a few quarrels, the adults would not take it seriously, but...but this concerns the daughter of the royal princess.
She is still the daughter of a princess who has had a history of robbing her bride.
Learning from the past is right in front of us...
That night, Wei Heng, who had not entered the main house for a long time, came to Jiang's courtyard.
It was getting late at that time, and Jiang had already taken off her makeup and hair. She was slightly startled when she saw him coming in and said, "Why didn't you send someone in advance to say something?"
