Chapter 457 Interrogation
The Prince of Weiguo quickly let go of Qin Nian'er's hand as if he had grabbed a hot potato.
But no matter how fast he loosened it, it was too late, Wei Mingzhu saw it.
Wei Mingzhu looked incredulous.
She wanted to chase after him, but the Prince of Weiguo had just let go of Qin Nian'er's hand and pulled her away again.
Wei Mingzhu, "..."
Are you sad?
The eldest brother wanted to accompany his future sister-in-law to visit the lantern festival, but he thought she was in the way, so he took her away without even giving her a chance to say hello.
But why does the dress on my future sister-in-law look so familiar?
Wei Mingzhu didn't think much about it and said, "Let's go, let's go back and tell mother the good news."
It's not that she likes him very much. With her brother's personality, how could he possibly pull her around in public? Although her brother thinks she is in the way, she, as his younger sister, will not argue with him.
Wei Mingzhu left happily, but Prince Yuzhang was in trouble.
The mask was taken off, and the slap marks on the face and the bite marks on the lips were not concealed and were seen by the Prince of Yong and Young Master Ling.
After the Prince of Weiguo left, he was questioned by the two men. Prince of Yong asked, "Tell the truth. Who slapped you in the face?"
Prince of Yuzhang, “…”
Can you give him some face?
Prince Yuzhang touched the mask on his face.
The story behind this slap in the face was not long; it had been brewing since yesterday.
Well, after Prince Yuzhang threw Wei Mingzhu into the lotus pond, he fell in love with her and wanted to marry her. When Princess Teng found out, she felt that this was almost impossible, especially since her son was beaten by the Prince of Wei every other day.
They didn't even have the courage to go and propose marriage for their own son. Why would they go when they knew that the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion would not agree? Moreover, they were too embarrassed to go in person after seeing what their son had done.
But her own son was very stubborn, and Princess Teng had no choice but to bring her niece to Beijing. They were cousins and had a good relationship since they were young. They were childhood sweethearts and had no idea who would love each other if they spent more time together. She would then be able to let go of Miss Wei Si.
This was only what Princess Teng thought, but Prince Yuzhang and Qin Nian'er had the wrong idea.
Qin Nian'er wanted to celebrate the New Year at home and go to Beijing after the New Year. To coax her daughter to go to Beijing, Madam Qin told her, "Your cousin was reckless and threw the fourth daughter of the Duke of Weiguo's mansion into the lotus pond. He was chased and beaten by the Duke of Weiguo's son. Your aunt is so worried about this that she can't eat. Go and help her. After the New Year, I will go to Beijing too."
Princess Teng has always loved Qin Nian'er. Although Qin Nian'er has not come to Beijing for several years, every year on her birthday, her aunt sends people to give her the most fashionable jewelry and silks in Kyoto.
If her aunt needs her help, she will definitely go. Besides, she has never celebrated the New Year in Kyoto, and the New Year in Kyoto must be very lively.
Qin Nian'er went to Beijing just like that. On the way there, she was thinking about how she could help her aunt and cousin by throwing the sister of the prince of Weiguo into the lotus pond. It didn't seem unfair for her to be beaten by her brother.
That day, the Prince of Yuzhang went to Shili Pavilion to pick up Qin Nian'er, and Qin Nian'er asked, "Why did my cousin throw Miss Wei Si into the lotus pond?"
Prince Yuzhang asked, "Cousin, could you please not ask about my brother's sorrows as soon as you come?"
Qin Nian'er said, "But I came to Beijing for this matter, so of course I have to ask clearly."
Prince Yuzhang frowned, "Are you going to the capital for this?"
Qin Nian'er nodded, "Mom said that my aunt was so worried about this that she couldn't eat or sleep, so she asked me to help her solve the problem."
Prince Yuzhang said, "I, your cousin, can't even handle this, how can you help?"
Qin Nian'er said, "My aunt thinks I can do it, and my mother thinks I can do it too, so I'm sure I can do it."
"Just tell me, cousin."
Prince Yuzhang told his cousin the truth.
Because it can't be hidden at all.
Once she entered Prince Teng's mansion and asked, even the maids and servants could tell her.
After the Prince of Yuzhang was told, he rode on horseback to lead the way back to Prince Teng's Palace.
Qin Nian'er sat in the carriage, pondering this matter. The maid whispered, "It's not unfair for the young master to be beaten..."
Qin Nian'er said, "It's my cousin's fault. I can't help much by going to Beijing. Why is my mother in such a hurry to send me to Beijing?"
The maid said, "Isn't it that you are being asked to use your beauty to seduce the prince of Weiguo?"
Qin Nian'er knocked the maid's head, "Can my mother and aunt do such a thing?"
The maid said, "That's a good thing."
"The Duke of Wei's son is of noble status. Princess Teng must think he's a good person. If you marry him, not only will you find a perfect husband, but you can also help your cousin. It's the best of both worlds."
Qin Nian'er thought about it and said, "What you said makes sense."
"My mother and aunt will definitely not cheat me."
In this way, Qin Nian'er came to Beijing and lived in Prince Teng's Mansion.
Princess Teng loved her very much. In order to cultivate the relationship between cousins, Princess Teng asked Prince Yuzhang to accompany her cousin to appreciate the plum blossoms today and to pray for blessings tomorrow.
Prince Yuzhang wanted to drink with his brothers, but his cousin came to Beijing at the end of the year to help him deal with the Prince of Weiguo, so he should treat his cousin well.
After accompanying my cousin to appreciate the plum blossoms and pray for blessings, I accompanied her shopping to pick out jewelry yesterday.
It happened that Wei Mingzhu also went to the Jade Pavilion. Downstairs, she heard several girls talking about the Prince of Yuzhang accompanying a girl to buy jewelry. The two of them were a perfect match. Wei Mingzhu felt a little uncomfortable at the time. She went upstairs and, as expected, saw the Prince of Yuzhang accompanying a girl to buy jewelry.
The girl also took out two pairs of earrings and asked him which one looked better.
Prince Yuzhang said, "If you like them, buy them all."
Wei Mingzhu was about to turn around and leave, but unfortunately Song Nanyue came upstairs. If she left at this time, she would not be looked down upon by Song Nanyue.
There is nothing between her and Prince Yuzhang. Whoever Prince Yuzhang likes or goes shopping with has nothing to do with her, so why should she avoid him?
Wei Mingzhu walked over confidently and picked up a jade hairpin, but when she left, the look she gave Prince Yuzhang was as sharp as a knife.
The Prince of Yuzhang originally wanted to say hello to Wei Mingzhu, but suddenly he didn't dare to do so.
It was the first time that Qin Nian'er saw her cousin show such a timid expression. She almost laughed out loud in her heart, "Could she be the fourth daughter of the Duke of Wei's mansion?"
"That's her."
Qin Nian'er said, "Cousin, no wonder you haven't been able to find a wife yet. It's not unfair at all."
Prince Yuzhang said, "Don't rub salt into your cousin's wounds."
Qin Nian'er said, "Cousin, didn't you realize that Miss Wei Si was angry when she saw you and me together?"
Prince Yuzhang said, "She usually sees me like this."
Qin Nian'er shook her head. "This time is different. This time she's jealous. Why don't you go chase her?"
Prince Yuzhang was a little skeptical, but that didn't stop him from chasing downstairs, but Wei Mingzhu had already returned home in a carriage.
Prince Yuzhang went to the Duke of Wei's mansion, but was stopped by the secret guards and could not see Wei Mingzhu. Then it was time for the Lantern Festival tonight.
Princess Teng asked Prince Yuzhang to accompany Qin Nian'er to the Lantern Festival. Prince Yuzhang wanted to go to the street to find Wei Mingzhu, but as soon as he went to the street, Wei Mingzhu saw him accompanying his cousin to the Lantern Festival.
Wei Mingzhu was just short of having the word "unlucky" carved on his face.
Wei Mingzhu turned and left, and Prince Yuzhang quickly chased after him.
There were so many people on the street that it was not easy to catch up with someone. Even after finally catching up with them, I couldn't hear their voices because of the noise.
Prince Yuzhang had no choice but to pull Wei Mingzhu to a less crowded alley.
Wei Mingzhu was furious. "Who told you to pull me? Aren't you accompanying that girl to view the lanterns?!"
Prince Yuzhang was very happy and asked, "Are you really jealous?"
"You're jealous!"
Wei Mingzhu was so angry that she almost cried.
She wanted to leave. Prince Yuzhang had brought her here with great difficulty. Could he let her go? But the more he refused, the more furious Wei Mingzhu became when she thought about him wearing a mask and deceiving her.
Thinking about what my eldest brother said, that Prince Yuzhang promised to give up her, it seems to be true, but since he has given up, why is he chasing after her?
Wei Mingzhu was so angry that she stepped on Prince Yuzhang's foot and asked him to give way.
The Prince of Yuzhang was really at a loss and could only push the man against the wall and kiss him.
That's how I got the ripped lips and slap marks on my face.
After being slapped, Prince Yuzhang said, "That's my cousin."
Wei Mingzhu was stunned. "Cousin...cousin?"
"A cousin who is closer than a real sister."
After I finished explaining, I heard my cousin's cry. As a cousin, I was worried about such an unreliable cousin, so I had to come over and keep an eye on him.
In order to help her cousin, Qin Nian'er was very tactful and immediately called out, "Cousin."
Wei Mingzhu's face turned red and she kept denying it.
But there were so many people on the street that when Qin Nian'er came over, she was accidentally bumped into by someone, and her skirt got caught on the stall of a street vendor and was torn.
Wei Mingzhu felt bad, and since her carriage was nearby, she asked her maid to get her skirt for Qin Nian'er to change into.
It wasn't that the Prince of Weiguo didn't recognize his own sister, but Qin Nian'er was wearing Wei Mingzhu's skirt, so the Prince of Weiguo recognized her at a glance. In addition, she was with the Prince of Yuzhang, so he didn't think much about it.
As a result, he dragged away the cousin of Prince Yuzhang as his own sister. The Prince of Weiguo had never done such an outrageous thing in his life and he wanted to die.
