Chapter 319 Gossip (I)

Sun Qiao was naturally unwilling: "Isn't it okay for me to call her that? It's not that difficult. But why does everyone in the mansion call her Sister Princess, but only the Crown Prince calls her Sister Madam?"

Sun Wei opened his mouth, but felt that what he said was longer than a piece of cloth.

"The prince has his own reasons, don't worry about it."

"Then when the prince gets married, what will he call his wife?"

Sun Wei felt a headache, as if she was back to her childhood when she was annoyed and confused by this chatterbox.

"Again, this is the prince's business, why are you worrying about it?"

She was about to leave when Sun Qiao said, "Sister, I suddenly remembered something."

Sun Wei waved her hand: "I still have things to do. Go back to your room and pack your bags. Although you have servants in your yard, you must not be lazy."

Sun Qiao chased after her and said, "Sister, wait a minute, I have no one to tell this secret to, I must tell you!"

Sun Wei tried to control his temper and said, "After saying this, you should go back to your room. Got it?"

Sun Qiao nodded, then stood on tiptoe and whispered a few words in Sun Wei's ear.

After hearing this, Sun Wei was stunned.

"You said... the prince hid a woman in Tang Garden?"

Sun Qiao's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly, "Sister, is that woman the Crown Prince's wife?"

Sun Wei instinctively felt that it was impossible, but Sima Jun had never secretly kept any woman.

"Since it was hidden, how did you find it?" Sun Wei asked.

"Sister, do you know about the Hundred Birds Garden?" Sun Qiao asked.

"Of course I know that there are many rare birds raised there."

"That's right," Sun Qiao said. "The prince used to often let me go there to watch the birds and observe their swift movements. But recently, the steward suddenly stopped me from going, saying that the master had ordered that the garden needed repairs. I was quite puzzled, because the birds there are truly beautiful, but with the master's words, there was nothing I could do. Then one day, I saw a servant carrying a peacock into the garden. It was a peacock! I was so tempted that I secretly went to the Hundred Birds Garden."

"Did you see that woman in the Bird Garden?"

"Exactly!" Sun Qiao was quite excited. "Also, I heard the steward tell the woman that the villa where she was housed was still under renovation, so she had to stay in Tang Garden temporarily. He also said that the master knew she liked birds and specially found this peacock. The woman was quite happy to hear this, and she giggled non-stop around the peacock."

Sun Wei raised his eyebrows, thinking that this sounded unusual.

"Did you see the woman? What did she look like?"

Sun Qiao reminisced for a moment and said, "I didn't dare linger any longer, so I just took a quick look behind her. From behind, she seemed younger than my sister."

Sun Wei froze instantly.

As Aju was carrying the snacks to the west wing gate, she saw Sun Wei coming towards her and called her back.

"Isn't this snack for Young Master Sun?" Aju asked.

"No need," Sun Wei said, "He just had a meal. If he eats more snacks, he'll have indigestion. Take it back to Wufengyuan."

——

Sima Jun kept a girl in Tangyuan.

Sun Wei pondered the news over and over again.

You know, Tangyuan is full of romantic stories between the old Prince Yuzhang and beauties.

Now, Sima Jun also...

As the thought came to his mind, Sun Wei felt that something was wrong.

Sima Jun had always been indifferent to beauty. Even when their relationship was at its worst, he did not take a concubine.

At that time, in order to show her favor to Sima Jun, she had even considered taking a concubine. She thought that if Sima Jun favored the concubine and the concubine obeyed her, then she and Sima Jun would be able to communicate.

However, things did not go as planned. Sima Jun sent all the beauties she had selected back to Jiankang.

Sun Wei took a bite of the dessert and pondered for a moment.

However, at this time in her previous life, she had not yet married Sima Jun, and she really didn't know whether he had any other past.

Other past?

Sun Wei was disdainful. Even if there was, it was just a passing cloud. Anyway, she didn't see it later.

Thinking of this, another voice in her heart asked her what she was doing?

What kind of woman Sima Jun was involved with, and what did it have to do with her?

It’s better to forget it.

God knows how much effort she put in to suppress her urge to find out the news. Even Sima Jun could see that she was hesitant to speak.

"Madam, do you have anything to say?"

"Oh, it's just a trivial matter," Sun smiled. "The Crown Prince is getting married the day after tomorrow, and the Crown Prince is still in mourning, so he can't attend the ceremony. I wonder if the Crown Prince congratulated the Crown Prince when he met him yesterday?"

"Of course I have said that. Why are you worried about this for no reason, Madam?"

"The Crown Prince's wedding is a major event, and I'm naturally worried about any mishaps."

"Cao Song will make all the arrangements, madam, don't worry," he said, then stood up and said, "I feel much better today. Doctor Lin allowed me to go out for a walk."

"Going to Tang Garden?"

I don't know why, but I asked this question uncontrollably.

Sun Wei felt guilty for a moment, looked at Sima Jun and smiled.

"I'm not going to Tangyuan." Sima Jun said, "I'm going to ride a horse outside the city."

"Oh, I see." Sun Wei nodded.

Sima Jun took two steps, then turned back and asked, "Madam, are you really alright? I told you that you can talk to me anytime."

Sun Wei's mind raced, and she could only pull Sun Qiao out to fill her embarrassment.

"Since we're going on horseback, won't the prince take Aqiao with him?"

Sima Jun suddenly realized and said, "Madam, this suggestion is quite good."

After he finished speaking, he asked Cao Song to send someone to call Sun Qiao.

"Come to think of it, I should give Aqiao a horse." Sima Jun seemed to remember something.

"Your Highness is right." Sun Wei quickly agreed.

When Sun Qiao heard that Sima Jun wanted to take him horseback riding, and also heard that it was Sun Wei's suggestion, he kept smiling foolishly at Sun Wei.

Sun Wei turned away silently.

Sima Jun took the whip and said, "Why don't you thank the lady?"

Sun Qiao suddenly remembered Sun Wei's instructions and thanked him solemnly.

"Go ahead," Sun Wei said helplessly, "Be careful and follow the prince's arrangements in everything."

Watching the two of them leave, Sun Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

——

In the east of the city, a carriage stopped outside the Sun Mansion.

The doorman saw that the carriage was unusual in style and hurried forward to greet it.

Li Mo opened the curtain, handed over the visiting card, and said in a gentle voice: "I am looking for Master Sun Qiao. I hope you will be accommodating."

The doorman took the visiting card and saw that it was from the third son of the Wang family.

"So you're here to look for the young master," the doorman said with a smile. "Sir, you're a little too late. The young master and his family no longer live here."

"Oh? I wonder where they moved to?"

"He was taken away by the Prince of Yuzhang. I heard that the young master went to live with the prince in the palace, while the concubine and his wife went to Xunyang."

"Jiangzhou?" Li Mo was puzzled. "Why did you suddenly go to Xunyang?"

"I heard that Prince Yuzhang found a position for you. He just mentioned it yesterday, and he left early this morning."

Li Mo seemed to be thinking about something, and then said to A Qing: "Send a note to Manager Liang and tell him that I have something important to discuss with you."
