Chapter 52:
Wei Hanzhang, who Ning Hai called the reincarnation of a wooden pole, hurried back to his yard, covering his hot cheeks, and immediately ordered Lu Lan to bring him a cup of herbal tea.
Her shy look shocked the two maids. After looking at each other, they both knelt down.
Wei Hanzhang was stunned, "What's going on? Come up and say something."
Both maids refused to get up.
"Girl, I have been going to the yard next door every day these days, and my servant is really worried." Luzhu was a little bit off-tempered, and she said in fear: "If I let Madam know..."
Wei Hanzhang frowned and said: "Don't worry, you are my people, so you will naturally obey my orders. If my mother knows, I will bear all the punishments and won't cause anything to you."
“My maid is not worried about herself,” said Lu Lan, who was more steady, with her forehead touching the ground. “It’s really not appropriate for a girl to stay in a boudoir and meet her foreign man every day like this.”
Although the master and servant are different, Luzhu and Lulan grew up together with Wei Hanzhang since childhood, and their relationship is unusual.
Lulan Lulan knew early on that the young man waiting for her girl in the next yard was a young master. She had been holding back her worries for a long time. When she saw her looking so full of love today, she was even more frightened. She was risking being punished but also admonishing her. of.
Wei Hanzhang knew their loyalty, and this was really for his own good.
They were right. It was outrageous that she and Prince Xiao were getting along like this every day. Maybe it was because her rank was too low, but she had been feeling uncontrollable in the past two days...
Wei Hanzhang put down the tea cup in his hand, personally helped the two maids up, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion. I didn't go to the next door to have a private meeting with my lover... I won't go there in a few days."
In a few days, the Jiang family's case will be settled, and according to the agreement, she won't have to go there.
She should keep some distance from that person and use time to cool down her budding heart.
I really can't blame her, Prince Xiao is too high-ranking, and he has used this method to seduce many girls.
This man's power, appearance, and temperament are all attractive to all girls. She has been able to resist tenaciously for so long, which is already very impressive.
Wei Hanzhang sighed softly, she couldn't move her heart.
…………
At lunchtime, as soon as Wei Hanzhang entered the Jingya Hall, he saw Mrs. Jiang leaning on the soft couch with a very bad expression on her face. Two concubines of Wei Heng were serving the mistress.
The heroine of the original work, Shen, was also there. Seeing her come in, the two concubines came together to say hello.
Wei Hanzhang paused for a moment, responded casually, and walked quickly forward, sat on the edge of the couch, looked at Jiang who was lying crookedly, and asked with concern: "Why is Auntie not feeling well? Why does she look so bad? "
Seeing the little girl coming, Mrs. Jiang sat up straight on the soft couch, shook her head and said, "It's okay for my mother."
After the two concubines Shen and Lin had retreated, and only mother and daughter were left in the house, Mrs. Jiang took her daughter's hand and sighed softly: "Ran Ran, your marriage to the Gu family will not work out."
Jiang’s voice was very soft, but it sounded like thunder out of thin air, exploding in Wei Hanzhang’s ears.
After being stunned, her first reaction was surprise. Why did it happen so suddenly and it couldn't happen?
Didn’t Gu Yunran also say that his father would come to propose marriage when he came back?
“This morning the Gu family personally came to apologize, saying that the previous verbal engagement was not thoughtful enough and does not need to be counted. In the future, you and his eldest son will get married separately and have nothing to do with each other.”
Mrs. Jiang was afraid that her daughter wouldn't be able to accept it for a while, so her voice became softer and she said comfortingly: "Ran Ran, don't be sad. We are not getting married to this kind of family. I will definitely find a better marriage for you, so that they will regret it." " Wei Hanzhang leaned in Jiang's arms. He couldn't tell whether he was sad or regretful. Even if he had been prepared,...
After slowly digesting the news, she raised her eyes blankly: "Who in the Gu family came to cancel the engagement? Is Gu Yunran here?"
"Perhaps he knows that his behavior of trying to reach a higher level is shameful, and the husband of the Gu family didn't come,"
Mentioning the Gu family, Jiang couldn't help showing disgust in his eyes, "It's his parents who are here. Their faces are polite and considerate, and their posture is extremely low. They really don't look like they can commit such a treacherous act." People who do things.”
She sneered: "I want to see how well their family can do in the capital."
Wei Hanzhang felt mixed emotions in her heart. The emotions of sourness, sadness, and regret made her unable to calm down for a long time.
It was said that I was lucky to have gained it, but I had lost my life, but when things actually happened to this point, she was still at a loss.
Who is Gu Yunran? That was the future husband she had groomed for herself since she was a child. She was her childhood sweetheart, and her childhood sweetheart grew up together. The relationship that lasted more than ten years could not be faked.
If Wei Hanzhang's "Future Husband Training Plan" for Gu Yunran is compared to starting a business, then she has definitely put all her efforts into it.
Calling off the engagement not only meant that she and Gu Yunran would no longer have a chance, it also meant that her more than ten years of hard work had been wasted and all her achievements had been lost.
Really, rather than being sad that the relationship was ‘broken up’, Wei Hanzhang was more sad that her more than ten years of hard work was ruined.
How is this different from going bankrupt?
Wei Hanzhang finished his lunch in a daze, and with Jiang's repeated persuasion, returned to Tingfeng Pavilion.
There is a small pond on the side of Tingfeng Pavilion. Wei Hanzhang sat on a stone chair next to the pond, staring blankly at the pink lotus buds emerging from the water for a long time before he remembered that he had to go next door in the afternoon.
As soon as he opened the door to the courtyard, he saw Prince Xiao standing in front of the door. The bright afternoon light made the cold air around him fade away, making him appear warmer and warmer.
Wei Hanzhang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly asked: "You didn't want to go to my yard just now, did you?"
Ning Hai stood with his eyebrows down and thought to himself: If you had come a little later, not to mention your courtyard, even the entire Zhongyong Hou Mansion, His Highness would not be able to go.
Xiao Junzhan looked indifferent, looking down at the girl in front of him without saying a word.
There are no tears on his face and the circles under his eyes are not red. He must have never cried.
However...my complexion is a bit paler compared to the morning...
Are you still affected by the divorce?
Wei Hanzhang stretched out his hand and waved in front of him: "What's wrong with you? Why are you so dazed?"
Xiao Junzhan held her hand that she had not taken back, and said softly: "Then the marriage is completely broken off, are you sad?"
"!!" Wei Hanzhang looked at him in surprise, not even caring about his hand being held, and asked curiously: "How come you are so well-informed?"
She had only known that not long ago, this man stayed in this courtyard almost every day. Whenever she came, he would be waiting here. Unexpectedly, he had enough ears and eyes!
Xiao Junzhan's eyes trembled, and he exerted a slight force on his hands to restrain the urge to pull the person into his arms, and repeated: "Ran Ran, are you feeling sad for coming here after so long?"
