Chapter 382 Misunderstanding the Seventh Prince's Thoughts
The Seventh Prince stared at Du Wanchun, speechless.
Miss Wei, who was standing beside him, added fuel to the fire, saying, "Your Highness, it was her, Manager Du from the Zhou family, who bullied me just now."
Du Wanchun finally understood; it turned out that Miss Wei had brought the Seventh Prince to demand an explanation.
I don't know what makes this Miss Wei so shameless as to oppose her.
She smiled and said, "Miss Wei, I did say a few words to you just now, but I didn't bully you."
Miss Wei gripped her handkerchief tightly, glared at Du Wanchun with wide eyes, and said angrily, "You didn't bully me? This slap on my face was from you!"
Wei was furious and stepped forward, saying, "The wicked accuse first! It was clearly you who spoke rudely first."
Miss Wei picked up her handkerchief, wiping away her tears as she cried to the Seventh Prince, "Your Highness, look how fierce they are! That slap just now almost knocked out my teeth."
Taking advantage of the Seventh Prince's favor, she became increasingly unruly.
Wei was so angry that her face turned red. Du Wanchun pulled her aside and whispered, "It's alright, don't waste your breath arguing with them. Let's continue watching our fireworks."
As he spoke, he patted Xiao Mianmian's head and told her to sit by the window with Yi'er and Yu'er to continue watching the fireworks outside.
Wei's complexion gradually improved.
The fact that the two of them were so calm made Miss Wei very anxious.
Miss Wei cried and begged the Seventh Prince to intervene on her behalf.
The Seventh Prince finally realized, "Madam is the manager of the Zhou family?"
He asked Du Wanchun.
Du Wanchun stood up and replied, "That's right, Your Highness."
The Seventh Prince slowly took two steps forward and carefully examined her. "Is this your first time in the capital, Madam?"
Du Wanchun smiled, "I've come here a few times with my husband before."
The Seventh Prince had a sullen face. He felt a sense of familiarity with the woman in front of him. Instinctively, he dared not put on airs in front of her. He could only turn to Miss Wei behind him and say, "I think this is just a misunderstanding. Well, since we're all here to see the fireworks, why don't we sit down and have a cup of tea? Let's not waste the beautiful scenery tonight."
When Miss Wei heard the Seventh Prince say this, her eyes widened. Usually, whenever someone offended her, the Seventh Prince would stand up for her. Why was it different today?
When she was puzzled, she looked carefully at Du Wanchun, and then at the Seventh Prince.
She noticed that the Seventh Prince's gaze towards Du Wanchun was noticeably strange. She couldn't quite put her finger on what was strange, but she just felt that something was off about him.
Could it be that the Seventh Prince has taken a liking to Du Wanchun?
Miss Wei was surprised by her own thoughts.
As a young woman confined to her room, all she thought about every day were these trivial matters, so naturally, this was all she could think of.
Du Wanchun didn't want to attract too much attention in the capital, so she took the Seventh Prince's advice and had the servants pour a cup of tea for each of them. "Your Highness is right. Since we're all here to see the fireworks, why don't we sit down and have a cup of tea? Otherwise, the fireworks will be over soon."
The seventh prince smiled broadly and actually led his companions to sit down.
Looking at his smiling face, Miss Wei was even more certain that the Seventh Prince had taken a liking to Du Wanchun.
The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she felt.
Du Wanchun looked up at her and smiled, "Miss Wei, won't you sit down?"
Miss Wei stood beside the Seventh Prince, gently placing her hand on his shoulder. "Your Highness, aren't you going to stand up for me?"
The Seventh Prince frowned, turned his head and looked at her sternly, "Since Madam Du has already let it go, why are you still holding a grudge? If you don't want to enjoy the fireworks and tea here, then get out."
Miss Wei knew the Seventh Prince's temper and that she would often be scolded by him, but today she was particularly resentful.
In her opinion, although Du Wanchun was indeed beautiful, she was, after all, a woman who had given birth, and how could she compare to her, a young lady who was not yet married?
After thinking it over, she changed her aggrieved look and obediently sat down next to the Seventh Prince.
Du Wanchun didn't want to spoil her mood by taking Xiao Mianmian to watch the fireworks from the window.
The Seventh Prince and Miss Wei were sitting inside the room.
The servants and attendants who had come with them retreated to the doorway outside the house.
Wei was initially a little embarrassed, but Xiao Mianmian's laughter drew her attention to the fireworks in the sky.
Little Mianmian pressed her face against the window, watching the dazzling purple fireworks, and clapped her hands excitedly, "Mommy~ Look! Mommy~"
Du Wanchun hugged her waist and watched along with her.
The seventh prince's gaze remained fixed on the mother and daughter inside the room.
Miss Wei tugged at the handkerchief in her hand and whispered to the Seventh Prince, "Your Highness, look how well-behaved Madam Du's daughter is."
The Seventh Prince laughed and said, "Yes, she is indeed well-behaved."
Miss Wei continued, "Madam Du and her husband must be very loving; it's truly enviable."
The Seventh Prince nodded in agreement and smiled, "Yes, it is indeed enviable."
He looked at Xiao Mianmian and liked her more and more, especially her eyes, which he felt he had seen somewhere before, making him feel very close to her.
As Miss Wei watched him gaze at Xiao Mianmian, all sorts of random thoughts began to form in her mind.
She felt that the Seventh Prince had taken a liking to Du Wanchun because of her love for her, and didn't even mind that she had a child.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she started to worry.
She worried that she would lose her position as a concubine in the future.
