In her previous life, Shen Wan was drugged and deceived by her cousin, believing she had lost her purity to Prince Xiao Yun. She married him with a grand procession, helping him ascend to the thron...
Chapter 413 Reserved
Wei Mingzhu ran a long distance in one breath and looked back several times. She was relieved when she found that the man didn't catch up with her.
The temperature on his face could almost melt the mask.
How could she say something like that?
The man wouldn't misunderstand that she wanted to marry him...
I would definitely think so.
Prince Yuzhang was afraid that she would become obsessed with him and beg him to marry her, so he threw her into the lotus pond, and she became a laughing stock in Kyoto.
As long as the man is from a noble family in Kyoto, there is a 99% chance that he knows who she is.
Ahhhh!
Wei Mingzhu felt very confused.
She said she wanted to go back to the mansion, but in fact she didn't know where the carriage was parked. She didn't have enough energy to walk back to the Duke of Weiguo's mansion, so she could only walk aimlessly.
Fortunately, before she had walked halfway down the street, the maid came looking for her. "Where did you go, young lady? It took me so long to find you..."
With her maid, Wei Mingzhu walked around two more streets. When she was tired, she took a carriage back home.
Sitting in the carriage, Wei Mingzhu was absent-minded and his mind was in a mess.
She didn't even know who the man was or what he looked like. He saved her twice, so she should have thanked him properly, but she didn't even know who his savior was, let alone go to his house to thank him.
The maid just looked at Wei Mingzhu, seeing her look happy at one moment and sad at another. She had been serving the girl for several years, but this was the first time she saw such a rich expression on her own girl's face.
The carriage stopped in front of the gate of Duke Weiguo's mansion. Wei Mingzhu got out of the carriage and saw his elder brother riding back to the mansion on horseback.
Lanterns were hung in front of the gate of the Duke of Wei's mansion. When the Duke of Wei, who was riding on horseback, saw how his sister was dressed, any hope he had was gone.
"Big brother."
Wei Mingzhu called out.
The Prince of Weiguo didn't say anything. Wei Mingzhu felt strange. She didn't bring her brain with her when she went out. Did her elder brother leave his mouth outside and forget to bring it back home?
After entering the mansion, Wei Mingzhu hoped that his elder brother would come back without a mouth.
The Prince of Weiguo called Wei Mingzhu aside and asked, "Who was that masked man you dragged away?"
Wei Mingzhu, “……!!!”
Wei Mingzhu was shocked and blurted out, "Brother, how did you know?"
The prince of Weiguo knocked on Wei Mingzhu's forehead and said, "I'm not blind, how can I not recognize my own sister because she's wearing a mask?"
Wei Mingzhu's face flushed red.
The Prince of Weiguo asked, "Tell me, who is that man?"
Wei Mingzhu, "..."
Don't speak.
The Prince of Weiguo said, "You can't even tell my eldest brother? My ugly brother-in-law also wants to see my eldest uncle."
Wei Mingzhu stamped her feet in embarrassment, "What did you say, brother?!"
He's my brother-in-law without even a clue of his fate.
The Prince of Weiguo had a look on his face that looked like he wanted to get to the bottom of something.
Wei Mingzhu didn't dare to look into her elder brother's eyes, "I, I don't know either..."
The voice was very low, but the Prince of Weiguo had good hearing and heard it clearly.
The Prince of Weiguo was stunned at first, then his voice rose, "You don't even know who it is, and you're grabbing someone's hand and running around the street?"
What about the precautions for men and women?
Even if your reputation has been ruined by Prince Yuzhang, you can't just give up like that, right?
Wei Mingzhu wanted to cover her eldest brother's mouth, "I didn't grab his hand on purpose, it's not, it's not..."
"To avoid me, your big brother, right?" The Prince of Weiguo was very angry.
Wei Mingzhu remained silent.
The Duke of Wei's son looked very disappointed and asked, "How did you two meet?"
Wei Mingzhu asked, "Can I not say it?"
"cannot!"
The Prince of Weiguo said, "You are my sister. If you can't pass this test of my elder brother, no one can marry you."
Wei Mingzhu stamped her feet. "This is the first time we've met. What's the point of talking about whether to marry him or not?"
The Prince of Weiguo felt a little dizzy.
She held the man's hand after just meeting him for the first time. Where is his sister's modesty?
It was only the first day they met, but his sister was already bewitched by him, so she had to find out who he was.
The Prince of Weiguo said, "If you don't tell my eldest brother, then he will tell mother about this."
Wei Mingzhu immediately became timid and said, "At the Lantern Festival tonight, a servant wanted to kill me. Luckily, he passed by and saved me in time..."
Hearing that someone wanted to kill Wei Mingzhu, the Duke of Wei was worried, "Who wants to kill you?"
Wei Mingzhu said, "It's most likely Song Nanyan."
It must be her who could do such a vicious thing.
The Prince of Weiguo said, "They saved you, so you should thank them."
Wei Mingzhu said, "Thank you, I ran too fast and forgot to ask who he was..."
The Prince of Weiguo asked, "Did you enjoy the lanterns with him?"
Wei Mingzhu didn't say anything, but her face turned red.
There was no need to answer, it was all on his face. The Prince of Weiguo said, "If he was interested in you, he would definitely look for you."
After a pause, the Prince of Weiguo said, "My future brother-in-law must have a better family background and better looks than the Prince of Yuzhang, understand?"
Wei Mingzhu stamped her feet in shame, and was angry that her elder brother mentioned the annoying Prince of Yuzhang. "Brother, you don't like the Prince of Yuzhang. Can't you just beat him up?"
Do you think he doesn't want to beat the Prince of Yuzhang?
Isn't this just missing the opportunity?
Although Prince Yuzhang threw his sister into the lotus pond, his original intention was to save his sister.
No matter how angry you are about this, you have to show your gratitude on the surface.
If the Prince of Yuzhang falls into his hands, we will see if he will show mercy.
What's even more infuriating is that not only has he been unable to find an opportunity to attack recently, but the Prince of Yuzhang has also been particularly polite to him. The Prince of Weiguo suspected that he was being too obvious and was noticed by the Prince of Yuzhang, so he was deliberately on guard against him.
The Prince of Weiguo said, "Even if I beat him up, it won't change the fact that he despises you. Only by marrying someone better than him can you save your face."
In this regard, the two siblings have the same goal.
Afraid that his elder brother would ask more questions, Wei Mingzhu nodded heavily, "Brother, I'm tired from shopping. I'll go back first."
Without waiting for her elder brother's consent, Wei Mingzhu ran away and the maid couldn't catch up with her.
The maid was tired in her heart and legs.
Other girls are delicate and weak, but her girl can run faster than her maid.
The maid ran after her, holding a lantern, "Miss, run slower and be careful with your step."
Wei Mingzhu ran back to her yard in one breath, pushed the door open and entered the house. When she saw the things on the table through the bead curtain, Wei Mingzhu's eyes almost popped out.
On the table was none other than the lantern that she had taken and then put back.
She had returned the lantern, so how did it appear in her boudoir?
The man sent it?
How can a grown man just barge into a girl's bedroom?
Could it be that she met a lecher?
Wei Mingzhu was a little worried, but also a little happy.
The maid followed behind him. Wei Mingzhu was afraid that the maid would see him, so she sent her away, saying, "Go get someone to prepare some hot water. I want to take a bath."
Wei Mingzhu almost pushed the maid out.
The maid didn't think it was strange at first, but now it seemed strange. However, she couldn't tell what was strange about it, so she had to go out and pass on the message.
When Wei Mingzhu walked over, she saw a piece of paper under the lantern.
There are a few words written on it——
See you tomorrow at Huguo Temple.
