Chapter 67: Take away your dirty look!
The person who came was Wei Wencai from Anyuan Mansion.
Wei Wencai is in his early twenties. His facial features are barely regular, but he is dressed in a greasy and powdered manner, and his eyes are filled with vulgarity and greed.
He was dressed in silk and satin, with a golden crown on his head and a jade belt around his waist. He looked like a young man from a wealthy family.
"Wow! It's quite lively."
Wei Wencai didn't expect Xie Yan to be there too. He smiled and bowed to Xie Yan, "Greetings, His Royal Highness Prince Xuan."
Then, he turned his gaze to Su Muyan, "Isn't this Young Master Su? Why is Young Master Su in the Marquis' Mansion?"
Ruan Yunbo frowned, "What are you doing here?"
Wei Wencai laughed heartily. "Brother-in-law, what are you talking about? The Emperor has already granted marriage to Princess Mingyi and me. Of course I'm here to see my fiancée!"
As he spoke, he looked at Ruan Yunsheng who was sitting beside him.
Ruan Yunsheng was wearing a crabapple-red brocade jacket today, paired with a moon-white silk skirt, the hem of which was dotted with butterflies embroidered with silver thread.
The beads hanging from her hairpin swayed gently, adding a touch of brightness to her already bright eyes and eyebrows.
Wei Wencai's eyes lit up. This stunningly beautiful lady was actually given to him by the emperor. He was truly blessed.
Ruan Yunsheng curled up the corners of his lips coldly and picked up the teacup on the table.
Wei Wencai instantly remembered the pain of being splashed with hot tea on his face by Ruan Yunsheng. He instinctively raised his butt to hide, but in his haste, his left foot tripped over his right foot, and he fell to the ground in embarrassment.
He quickly covered his face with his wide sleeves and said urgently, "Don't splash me! Don't splash me!"
But after waiting for a while, there was no other movement. He lowered his sleeves and looked. Ruan Yunsheng just picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea without even looking at him.
Ruan Yunbo couldn't help but sneer: "It's really embarrassing."
When he thought that such a fool was going to marry his sister, the smile on Ruan Yunbo's face disappeared in an instant and became even gloomier.
Wei Wencai shamelessly straightened his clothes as if nothing had happened and sat down in the chair again.
In a contemptuous tone, he said, "The Emperor means that the princess is not young anymore and he hopes that we can get married as soon as possible. I am not in a hurry, but for the princess' sake, let's set the wedding date for the sixth day of next month."
Ruan Yunbo had sworn that her sister would never marry him, and she became even more furious when she saw Wei Wencai set the wedding date so casually.
He sternly rebuked her, "A wedding date is such an important matter! How can you treat it like such a joke? Without even a letter of engagement, you brazenly claim you want to marry my sister? You're simply daydreaming!"
Wei Wencai raised his eyelids lazily. "It's urgent, so keep it simple. The betrothal gifts will be delivered in a few days. But since the Third Young Master is so rich, he probably doesn't care about the amount of the betrothal gifts, right?"
"As for the wedding date, if the Third Young Master has any objections, he can go to the palace to discuss it with the Emperor. However, the Emperor's message is very clear: the wedding should be sooner rather than later."
He paused, his tone adding a hint of threat, "If you intend to disobey the order, please don't bring trouble to our Anyuan Mansion."
Afterwards, Wei Wencai turned to look at Su Muyan, his tone filled with contempt: "The princess is now ready to get married, so it's better for her to have less contact with men outside her family."
Su Muyan's face turned pale. When he thought about Ruan Yunsheng marrying such a person, his heart ached so much that he couldn't breathe.
But he was in an awkward position after all. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
Ruan Yunsheng didn't want to involve Su Muyan, so he said, "Mr. Su, it's not convenient to entertain guests today. If you want to see my third brother, please do it another day."
Su Muyan also knew that he could not help in any way and might even make things difficult for the princess.
He whispered, "Prince, Princess, Third Young Master, I'm leaving now."
After Su Muyan left, Ruan Yunsheng looked at Mo Ying again and said, "Take your prince back to apply medicine."
She looked down on Wei Wencai. It was really embarrassing for her that such a low-class person came to the Marquis' Mansion and acted wildly.
She didn't want to embarrass herself in front of her mortal enemy, so she decided to send Xie Yan away first.
Xie Yan's eyes were as cold as ice as he glanced at Wei Wencai coldly.
Since the emperor is unwilling to revoke his order, Wei Wencai will have to die a short life.
However, Wei Wencai could die anywhere, except in the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion.
He was afraid that he would lose control and take action here, so he could only nod with a stern face and turn to leave the front hall.
After Xie Yan left, Wei Wencai became even less scrupulous.
He turned his gaze to Ruan Yunsheng, a frivolous smile on his face: "Princess, you see, we are really destined to be together. We will be husband and wife soon."
Ruan Yunsheng had relied on the support of her brothers and her status as the Princess of the Future, and was so arrogant that she had never even looked at him.
At the banquet five years ago, he drank a few more glasses and couldn't help but take a few more glances at Ruan Yunsheng's bright and beautiful face.
Unexpectedly, Ruan Yunsheng actually poured hot tea on him, causing him to lose face in public!
For the sake of the Marquis's Mansion and Prince Duan, he had no choice but to swallow his anger.
But that night, he and his friends were drinking in a restaurant when Ruan Yunce came over and beat him up without asking any questions. His friends tried to stop him and persuade him, but finally managed to get Ruan Yunce to leave.
That's all.
Who would have thought that on the way back home, one of Ruan Yunsheng's brothers put a sack over his head and beat him to death, and his attack was even more brutal than Ruan Yunce's!
His legs were broken alive and he had to lie in bed for half a year!
Although it happened five years ago, he still feels angry every time he thinks about it.
Now the situation has changed, and the emperor actually granted him a marriage with Ruan Yunsheng!
He finally has the chance to avenge his previous shame!
Wei Wencai's gaze lingered on Ruan Yunsheng unscrupulously.
When he heard that Ruan Yunsheng still looked the same, he was a little skeptical. After all, Ruan Yunsheng was already twenty years old. If she really looked old and ugly, even though he coveted the benefits of this marriage, he would inevitably feel unwilling.
But now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I know that the rumors are true.
Her face looked exactly the same as it had five years ago, still dazzlingly bright.
Wei Wencai couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and a dirty thought came to his mind: Ruan Yunsheng will soon be his, let alone taking a look at her. In the future, he can do whatever he wants to her, right?
Ruan Yunbo's face was so dark that water could drip out of it. He shouted angrily, "Wei Wencai, take that dirty look away from you!"
As both are men, the dirty thoughts in Wei Wencai's eyes are obvious.
How dare he look at his sister like that? He must be tired of living!
In the past, Wei Wencai might have had some concerns, but now with the imperial decree granting the marriage, it was like having an imperial sword in his hand, and he was not afraid at all.
He said with a playful smile: "What's wrong with this young master looking at his own wife? Not to mention looking, even touching..."
Before he could finish his words, Ruan Yunbo grabbed his collar, punched him in the face, and shouted angrily, "You're looking for death!"
Wei Wencai hadn't expected him to actually strike out. Unprepared, he was struck by a punch. His face immediately darkened, and he covered his mouth and sternly shouted, "Ruan Yunbo, you dare to hit me? Are you dissatisfied with the Emperor's arranged marriage?!"
He glanced at Ruan Yunsheng sinisterly and threatened, "I advise you to apologize to me right now, otherwise... humph!"
