Chapter 1201 The Meal Replacement Lady is Not Likeable (16)
Yuan Shiwan couldn't help but have an idea in her mind: I was so unhappy even though I married the Third Prince, so my elder sister should be even more miserable in her husband's family than I am? After all, my elder sister has never been as lucky as I am...
When she thought of this, she suddenly felt much better. It turned out that people's happiness is the result of comparison. As long as others live worse than her, she feels that she has gained something.
But soon, her face turned red with shame, and she felt guilty and ashamed: Although her elder sister had become estranged from her after she got married, the blood relationship was inseparable. How could she hope that she would not live a good life? This was wrong. How could she become such a person who could not stand others doing well?
Yuan Shiwan felt extremely guilty for the malice she had in her heart, so she said to Madam Guan: "Madam Guan, I miss my sister. Why don't I go visit her?"
Nanny Guan was startled and said hesitantly, "Miss, you are now the prince's consort, and the eldest lady should come to see you in person. How can you lower your status to see her?"
"Madame Guan! She's my biological sister! How did our relationship come to the point where we have to act based on status and position?" Yuan Shiwan was already ashamed of the malicious thoughts she had just had towards her sister, and now Madame Guan reminded her that she should treat her sister with her superior status, which made her suddenly angry and humiliated. Madame Guan's words made her feel like she had become one of those arrogant and domineering people she used to look down upon, who relied on their superior status to look down on others.
How could she tolerate herself becoming like this? So she reprimanded Aunt Guan, just as she reprimanded herself, to relieve herself of her guilt.
"It was my fault for saying the wrong thing. Please forgive me, young lady!" Nanny Guan quickly apologized.
"Okay, Madam Guan, I'm not blaming you, but...ah, my sister and I are already estranged from each other. If I continue to maintain my status in front of her, won't I lose the last bit of our affection?" Yuan Shiwan said with a sigh.
Since she was a child, she always asked her sister to help her solve any difficulties she encountered. Now that her husband is going to take a concubine, she is at a loss, sad and painful. In fact, subconsciously, the first thing she wants to do is to ask her sister for help, just like every time she encountered hardship in the past.
"I'll go to the Zhan family to see my sister, just to relax." Yuan Shiwan then gave orders that she would go out, but she would not use the ceremonial procession of a prince's consort, as she wanted to keep a low profile.
So Yuan Shichu, who was dozing off with a cat in her yard, heard the servant come to tell her that there was a guest.
"Who said that's outside the door looking for me?" Yuan Shichu thought he had misheard and asked the servant in shock.
"Madam, the visitor claims to be the Third Prince's wife, your sister." The servant answered respectfully and carefully.
Yuan Shichu raised his eyebrows. The Third Prince's Consort? Wasn't she the original owner's innocent, lively and lovely sister Yuan Shiwan? Why did she come to see him?
Although he had no intention of associating with her before, Yuan Shichu was bored now so he decided to meet her, so he asked someone to invite her in.
When Yuan Shiwan entered Yuan Shichu's yard, Yuan Shichu could hardly recognize the woman in front of him, who was dressed richly but looked haggard, as the cute and innocent adopted sister he met when he first came home.
"How did you become like this? It's like you've aged ten years!" Yuan Shichu blurted out in astonishment.
When Yuan Shiwan heard her words, her eyes suddenly turned red and she burst into tears. She cried out in grievance and sadness, "Sister!" Like a child who had suffered a lot of grievances outside and finally saw parents who could support her, she rushed up to hug Yuan Shichu.
But Yuan Shichu dodged to the side, avoiding her embrace, and said, "Stop! Don't touch me."
"Sister, when you saw me crying in the past, you would hug me and comfort me out of heartache..." Yuan Shiwan said aggrievedly.
"You also said that, that was in the past." Yuan Shichu said mercilessly, sneering in his heart. What was the point of the original owner loving this sister in the past? When she encountered problems, this sister who had enjoyed her protection and love for many years was so cold and indifferent. When she was seriously ill and bedridden, she was not even willing to come to see her, let alone help her!
Now that Yuan Shiwan had been wronged, she came to her sister to seek comfort and help? As for why Yuan Shichu knew that she had been wronged? Nonsense, looking at her haggard appearance and red and swollen eyes, she would be like this if she had been wronged? And if she was happy, she would definitely not think of her sister.
What's more, the news that the third prince was going to marry the general's granddaughter Cheng Shuxiang as his concubine had been announced to the world. Yuan Shichu was not a person who turned a blind eye to everything, so how could he not know the news?
"Sister... don't you love me anymore?" Yuan Shiwan asked pitifully and aggrievedly.
"You are married now, so naturally your husband will love you." Yuan Shichu was not the original owner. He had no feelings about her tears and did not feel sorry for her. He just thought that she looked ugly when she cried.
"But he is going to marry other women! How can this be considered loving me?" Yuan Shiwan suddenly collapsed and shouted, "He clearly swore to me that he would only have me as his woman in this life...but he broke his promise. He will bring women into the mansion one after another in the future...Sister, I feel sad..."
"What can you do if you feel uncomfortable? You can only bear it." Yuan Shichu was a little surprised. As the male protagonist who was devoted to the female protagonist, shouldn't he withstand all the pressure and never compromise and take a concubine to hurt the female protagonist's heart? Why couldn't the male protagonist Ji Xinbai hold on? It seems that his ability is not strong enough.
"I don't want to endure it. I don't want him to have other women! Sister, can you help me think of a solution?" Yuan Shiwan looked at Yuan Shichu pleadingly with red and swollen eyes.
Yuan Shichu shook his head indifferently and said, "No, you, as the first wife, can't think of a solution. I'm just a little woman in the inner room. What can I do?"
"Sister, please help me... You will definitely think of a way. Haven't you always been able to find ways to help me in the past?" Yuan Shiwan anxiously grabbed Yuan Shichu's arm and begged.
"Third Prince's Concubine, you really think too highly of me. Those were just trivial matters in the inner palace before, and of course I could find a way to help you. But now taking a concubine is a major event for the Third Prince and the General's Mansion, and it concerns the overall situation of the world. The marriage was personally ordered by Concubine Xian, how can an ordinary woman like me shake it? It's useless for you to beg me. If begging others can work, then you might as well ask Concubine Xian or your husband, the Third Prince. Each of them is more capable of stopping this marriage than me. Why don't you ask them, but come to ask me? What's the reason?" Yuan Shichu asked her sarcastically.
Yuan Shiwan immediately lowered her head in shame and replied hesitantly: "I, I dare not..."
"Tsk! It turns out you're only picking on the weak." Yuan Shichu said sarcastically.
