Chapter 383 Inspiring Jealousy
"Someone, bring over your best pastries," the Seventh Prince suddenly called to the waiter outside the door.
The waiter quickly replied, "Yes, Your Highness."
Before long, the waiter brought over the restaurant's best dim sum.
Little Mianmian was originally watching the fireworks in Du Wanchun's arms, but she slowly turned around to look as she smelled the fragrance.
When the Seventh Prince saw the little one looking this way, he immediately carried a plate of pastries and walked up to them with a smile, "Here, try this."
Little Mianmian watched him cautiously, without reaching out to take it.
To show her politeness, Du Wanchun took it from his hand and said, "Thank you, Seventh Prince."
The Seventh Prince stood up and said with a smile, "Your daughter doesn't seem to like these pastries."
Du Wanchun looked at Xiao Mianmian and said, "She ate a lot before she left, so she's not hungry yet."
The seventh prince looked slightly disappointed and had no choice but to turn around and sit back in his original seat.
Wei glanced at them sideways and whispered to Du Wanchun, "Manager Du, this Seventh Prince is really strange. He was furious when he came in, but why is he suddenly being so attentive now?"
Du Wanchun smiled as she looked ahead, her eyebrows curving upwards, and said, "It's probably because she finds Miss Wei too annoying."
Madam Wei nodded. "My younger sister is indeed a nuisance. Let's go back quickly after watching the fireworks."
Yi'er and Yu'er, who were standing to the side, nodded in agreement.
The two of them stood silently to the side, without saying a word the entire time.
The Seventh Prince, whose enthusiasm had been dampened by Du Wanchun's words, also noticed them and asked Du Wanchun, "Who are those two little girls?"
Yi'er and Yu'er were dressed in women's clothes and looked like little girls like Xiaomianmian.
Du Wanchun smiled and replied, "She is also my daughter."
The Seventh Prince was shocked. "The Madam has three daughters?"
Du Wanchun, holding Xiao Mianmian's hand, replied to him, "Yes, they were born from the same womb."
The Seventh Prince was shocked to see a woman give birth to triplets for the first time. He then looked at the three children with a smile on his face, saying, "No wonder they look alike."
Du Wanchun smiled and said, "They do look somewhat alike."
Miss Wei suddenly sneered from the side, "So Madam Du has given birth to three children. She must be quite old. No wonder she looks much older than the average woman."
Although Du Wanchun is gentle and calm, she has a small, baby-faced appearance.
If it weren't for the title "Madam Du," one might think she was still unmarried.
The Seventh Prince was very uncomfortable with these words. He turned his head and glanced at Miss Wei, saying coldly, "Don't be rude in front of Madam Du."
Miss Wei gritted her teeth and immediately shut her mouth.
By this time, the fireworks outside had faded, and Du Wanchun, not wanting to linger, left with her three children and Wei Shi.
The Seventh Prince specially sent someone to escort them to the Zhou family.
As soon as Du Wanchun left, Miss Wei couldn't wait to question the Seventh Prince: "Your Highness, why were you so polite to Manager Du of the Zhou family just now? She is just a small merchant. Even if her husband is the magistrate of Cheng'an County, he is still just a minor official. How can he compare to Your Highness?"
The Seventh Prince replied impatiently, "What do you know, you woman? Are the Zhou family just ordinary merchants? If you cause trouble like this again, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Miss Wei was scolded by him and felt wronged. Her eyes immediately reddened. "Your Highness, you haven't fallen for that Du Wanchun, have you?"
The seventh prince thought he had misheard and turned to look at her. "What did you say?"
Miss Wei gritted her teeth and spoke her mind, "Your Highness, you were so attentive to Du Wanchun just now, could it be that you've taken a liking to her?"
The Seventh Prince stared at her wide-eyed in disbelief. "What nonsense are you spouting? She has a husband and children. How could I possibly have such feelings for her?!"
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Miss Wei was too petty and narrow-minded, and his disgust for her grew even stronger.
In the past, Miss Wei was an illegitimate daughter of the Wei family, and she was often bullied by her family members.
The Seventh Prince felt sorry for her because he thought she was pitiful.
Unexpectedly, Miss Wei changed after he decided to bring her into the palace as his concubine.
He's become so narrow-minded, and he's done plenty of things like bullying others by taking advantage of their power.
Miss Wei was still somewhat skeptical. "Your Highness, if you don't have those kinds of feelings for her, why are you so good to her and her children? They even hit me today."
The Seventh Prince didn't know how to explain it to her for a moment, so he said coldly, taking advantage of his frustration, "They hit you because you deserved it."
Miss Wei was stunned upon hearing this; at that moment, her heart died.
Ignoring the Seventh Prince's denials, she insisted that he had been attracted to Du Wanchun's beauty and had become fickle.
"Your Highness, you promised to be good to me for the rest of your life?"
Seeing her pitiful state, the Seventh Prince was no longer angry and simply sent someone to take her back to the Wei residence.
However, as soon as Miss Wei returned to the Wei residence, she was so angry that she smashed everything in her room.
The Wei family is not as powerful as it used to be, but because of her relationship with the Seventh Prince, Master Wei still treats her with some affection.
After smashing the things, Miss Wei called out to the maids in her courtyard, "Dongye! Dongye!"
At her call, the maid named Dongye hurriedly came to her room, "Miss."
Miss Wei suppressed her anger and said in a low voice, "Go, tomorrow you will host a banquet for Manager Du from the Zhou family."
Dongye was taken aback. "Miss, why are you hosting a banquet for Manager Du?"
Miss Wei shouted angrily, "Go when I tell you to!"
Dongye quickly agreed and turned to leave the house.
Not long after Du Wanchun returned to the Zhou residence, she received an invitation from Miss Wei.
After reading it, Madam Wei quickly said, "Manager Du, she suddenly wants to host a banquet for you; she must have ulterior motives!"
