Chapter 39 Is Sandan crazy?
He Zhaojun and Wen Ziduan both excused themselves and returned to the side hall, leaving the door open. He Zhaojun withdrew her arm, not allowing Wen Ziduan to continue supporting her. "The Third Prince is truly... astonishing."
There was no anger or rage on her face. Although her tone seemed to be annoyed, she was actually extremely calm, which made Wen Ziduan feel uncomfortable for no reason. "If you want to be angry, then take it out on me. Don't talk like that. It makes me uncomfortable."
"If I knew you would treat me like this, I would rather die in Fengyi County than ask you to save me!"
"Third Prince, there is no one else here, why do you say such things? It is obvious that you are indifferent to me and I am not in your heart at all." He Zhaojun smiled, her tone was coquettish, but her heart was still calm.
Wen Ziduan laughed in anger, slammed the door shut, and approached He Zhaojun. A hint of paranoia and anger appeared on his handsome face: "How dare you say that to me?"
He lowered his head and looked down at He Zhaojun: "Yes, I have never known what it feels like to love someone, but my words are as good as gold. If I ask to marry you, it means I really want you to be my bride!"
"You're all marrying someone you don't love. What the Lou family can give you, I can give you. What they can't give you, I can also give you! Don't tell me I didn't see that Lou Yaosui treats Cheng Shaoshang like a brother, but in fact, he has never let go!"
He Zhaojun knew that he was telling the truth.
The only person Lou Yao cared about was Shao Shang. He had only chosen Shao Shang out of moral obligation and family pressure. Besides the childhood sweetheart feelings she hadn't experienced, she didn't have any romantic feelings for him.
"So what? He is not my beloved[21], and neither are you. I hate sharing my love with others, and none of my brothers have ever taken concubines... Lou Yao has someone else in his heart, and you also have someone else by your side. How can you mock him?"
He Zhaojun didn't know why, but she followed his line of thought and compared him, an outsider, with Lou Yao, her fiancé, and she didn't even think there was anything wrong with it.
"The Lou family's second branch is under the suppression of Grand Tutor Lou, and no one holds an official position. If you marry into the family, not only will the He family's followers struggle to support the Lou family's second branch, but your future aunt's short-sighted and narrow-minded personality alone will cause you so much suffering! Why do you have to marry her?!"
Wen Ziduan grabbed He Zhaojun's arm and pressed it against her wound. The pain made He Zhaojun pale and tremble all over. "So what? Do you think that you are in the Yue family and it's easy? If I go there, I can fly freely under the sky. It's just like escaping a trap and falling into a cage again!"
She pried Wen Ziduan's hands apart and struggled away.
"I'm different from Lou Yao! I can definitely keep you safe... I was wrong not to discuss today's matter with you in advance. But whether you believe it or not, I didn't use you in the slightest when it came to requesting permission for marriage!"
"Third Prince, you and I are the same. Love is illusory and I never believe in it." He Zhaojun smiled, her expression cold. "In my opinion, the most indestructible relationship in the world is profit. Marrying into the Lou family is my best choice."
Wen Ziduan looked at He Zhaojun and realized that he had said too much today. He slowly reached out and smoothed the wrinkles on He Zhaojun's sleeves. "This is the first time in my life that I, Wen Ziduan, have spoken so much to a woman. You are also the first person to make me so angry."
He opened the door and had one foot already stepped out, but he turned back and looked at He Zhaojun: "I will let you know whether marrying into the Lou family is a good choice for you."
