Wei Shaoqing stood there, his blood seemed to have frozen.
Yuan Zhao stood opposite him, motionless, without even a flicker of expression.
But her slightly red palm showed that the slap was real.
The whole scene fell silent, and no one dared to say a word.
Wei Shaoqing covered his red face with his hands, and when he realized what was happening, his face was filled with disbelief:
"You...you hit me?"
The two have been married for more than ten years, and Yuan Zhaolian and him have rarely had arguments. It's only in the past few months that she has been a little angry.
But it was limited to verbal arguments with him.
In Wei Shaoqing's opinion, as long as he left her alone for a few days, or acted more forcefully, Yuan Zhao would compromise.
For example, she endured everything that happened to the Qin sisters some time ago.
But he didn't expect that today, in front of so many people, she would actually hit him?!
It was obvious that she couldn't tolerate the Bai family and raised a vicious child. Does she still have the right to hit others?
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Wei Shaoqing didn't know how to react for a moment.
Outside the Wei Mansion, there was a bustling flow of carriages and horses.
But there was only a screen wall between them, and the hallway was so quiet that you could hear the sound of the wind blowing.
The guests who had already arrived couldn't help but hold their breath, not knowing whether they should step forward to persuade them.
While Wei Shaoqing was stunned, a teasing voice came from outside: "Hey! Royal sister, your temper hasn't changed in all these years?"
This voice broke the silence, and the officials' wives couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Finally, there is a savior.
But when everyone turned to look at the door, the court officials who had already arrived couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Why is this person here?
Yuan Zhao turned slightly and looked at the person who came, feeling a little surprised.
He has a cold white complexion, a high nose bridge, light lips, a blue brocade robe, a gold leather belt, a jade pendant, and expensive black boots on his feet.
There was a hint of rebelliousness between his brows, and a cloth bag that was totally inconsistent with the expensive clothes he was wearing was carried diagonally on his shoulder.
He leaned lazily against the stone wall at the door, his whole body exuding an air of someone who was not to be messed with.
After he came in, the doorman dared to follow behind and report:
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince, Prince Jin, has arrived!"
Yuan Zhao straightened his expression and called out, "Ah... Third brother, long time no see."
Yuan Heng, the third prince of Concubine Shu, her younger brother.
Did she send an invitation to Yuan Heng? She should have sent one to someone from the royal family.
But I didn't expect that he would actually come.
Perhaps he heard something interesting, but Yuan Heng curled up the corners of his lips and sneered, striding towards Yuan Zhao with the arm-long cloth bag on his shoulder.
He stopped one step in front of Yuan Zhao and raised his chin towards Gan Tang behind Yuan Zhao.
Gan Tang was stunned and saw the cloth bag on his shoulder thrown straight towards him.
Fortunately, Biyun reacted quickly and took it.
Yuan Zhao looked at Yuan Heng in confusion.
He just smiled and dusted himself off. "I heard that my sister is not in good health in Yangzhou, and her nephews are not in good health either. I brought some herbs to help them recover."
Everyone's faces looked a little bad.
What is your Highness the Prince of Jin doing here? Are you trying to cause trouble for the princess?
Then Yuan Heng glanced at Yuan Nan'an next to him, tilted his head slightly, and asked without any prelude: "Is this little girl a mute?"
Everyone's expression was a little subtle.
It seems so. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, Prince Jin, have always been rivals for the throne. Today, Prince Jin came here to ruin the princess's business.
Yuan Nanan was a little unhappy when she heard this, so she replied directly: "I'm not a little mute."
The moment they heard Yuan Nan'an speak, the Wei family and the Bai mother and daughter were shocked.
When will Yuan Nan'an be able to speak again?
Wei Shaoqing couldn't suppress his shock. Such a big thing, but Yuan Zhao didn't tell him?
Yuan Heng touched Yuan Nan'an's head. Yuan Nan'an wanted to hide but failed. He just looked up at the man in front of him whom he had never seen before and smiled playfully, "You're not a little mute? You just don't like to talk?"
Yuan Zhao lowered her eyes. How could Yuan Heng know so much about her?
What on earth is he doing here today?
Yuan Heng's arrival seemed to make everyone forget that Yuan Zhao had just slapped Wei Shaoqing.
But Yuan Heng turned around and stood side by side with Yuan Zhao, lowering his head slightly and looking closely at Wei Shaoqing's face.
"Tsk tsk, this slap was really..." He crossed his arms, as if admiring the slap mark on Wei Shaoqing's face, "soft yet powerful, the five fingers are clear, it's really perfect!"
He also commented on...
"I thought my sister had become as gentle as water after spending ten years in Yangzhou!"
Wei Shaoqing's face turned red, then blue, and then white.
But he couldn't say anything.
Yuan Heng is not someone he can afford to offend.
Not only does he have the Majesty's favorite Consort Shu behind him, but he is also an important force that competes with the Crown Prince. Even though the Crown Prince has been in office for many years, there are still many people in the court who support him.
Wei Shaoqing then swallowed his breath and looked at Yuan Zhao with a rather pitiful expression: "I guess I didn't do well. It's only right that Zhao'er is unhappy and punishing me..."
【Don’t pretend! 】
"Don't pretend!"
Yuan Heng's voice and another voice sounded simultaneously. He paused for a moment without making any expression, and then heard the young voice followed by a series of curses:
[Ahhhh, scumbag dad is just a pretentious, white lotus, green tea! He and Bai Ruyue are truly a perfect match! Still acting pitiful here, selling his art and body is better than this!]
"This slap was too light. He even brought his mistress and his illegitimate offspring with him to make Mother unhappy! He and his mistress should be kicked out together!"
