Chapter 73: Fiancee Visits
If Xie Yunzhao listened to him, he would not be called Xie Yunzhao. He is the one who knows how to make trouble.
After walking out of Chaohui Courtyard, Xie Yunzhao glared at Qingzhu: "There are fewer people."
Qingzhu's face was a little distorted: "Second Master, who would have thought that he would go out last night?"
It was a temporary arrangement. It was good that he was injured like this: "Second Master, at least no one will disturb you and the princess for a while."
Xie Yunzhao raised his eyebrows. That’s fine. I won’t see him for half a month.
"Go tell Li Wan'er that her fiancé almost died. Don't you know how to comfort her?"
Qingzhu smiled and arranged for people to go.
…
Chi Yu looked at Xie Yunzheng with his eyes closed and brows furrowed, thinking that he was in pain somewhere: "My Lord, can I go get a doctor?"
"No need, have you found out?"
"Not yet. The Duke has also sent people to investigate."
Xie Yunzheng looked over with a pair of cold eyes: "Do you think it could be Xie Yunzhao?"
Akabane was stunned, thought for a moment and then shook his head: "How could Second Master have such power? Besides, yesterday was his wedding, how could he cause trouble?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that his master's eyes darkened. Akabane wanted to slap himself. Why did he mention the wedding?
Although Xie Yunzheng was sad, he also agreed with Chiyu's words. Even if he had such power, he would not have acted recklessly yesterday.
How could he miss yesterday's bridal chamber?
"You said, have they already..."
Xie Yunzheng closed his eyes tightly. He knew it very well, but he just wanted to know, what if, what if she didn't allow...
Akabane lowered his head. He knew what his master wanted to ask. How could he not be expecting it?
He asked someone about it, and it wasn't so straightforward. He only learned that the nanny beside the Duke's wife came out of Linfengju with a smile on her face.
"Master, don't think too much. Right now, you need to recover from your injuries. There are still many things waiting for you."
Xie Yunzheng waved his hands and said nothing more. He understood.
The bitterness in my heart spread infinitely, my hands clenched into fists, and I couldn't dare to think about how close they were.
The wound on his arm hurt because of the movement of his hand, but he seemed to be unaware of it. It was not until the bandage on the wound oozed blood that Akabane was surprised and asked someone to call a doctor.
"My Lord, please don't be angry. Now that things have come to this, as long as her heart is with you, why should you care about external things?"
"You know the Second Master's character best. Besides, he has been in love with the princess since childhood, and the princess has also been willing to compromise. If you can't let go, it will hurt the princess."
Akabane gritted his teeth and said the most inappropriate words, "What's more, you and the princess are in love in your heart..." but not in your body.
Xie Yunzheng's fist loosened little by little. Chiyu was right. Even though she had already... she was still the only one in his heart.
The doctor came, Xie Yun cooperated with the bandaging and promised not to move anymore.
Akabane finally felt relieved. He knew his master's character well. He had been stubborn since he was young.
If I don't leave him any room for reflection, I'm afraid he'll get stuck in a rut and won't be able to get over this hurdle.
Not long after, a servant came to report that Miss Li came to visit. When the Duke's wife learned about this, she hurried to accompany him to see his son.
Li Wan'er came with red eyes. She was extremely nervous when she heard that Xie Yunzheng was assassinated. Since the first time she saw Xie Yunzheng, she had identified him.
Although he is not passionate about her, he will always show some tenderness over time. They will be husband and wife in the future and will live together for the rest of their lives.
Xie Yunzheng was in a daze. When he saw the person with a girl's bun coming, he thought it was Shen Shurong and was so surprised that he wanted to sit up.
After seeing it clearly, a sense of loss swept over my whole body. Thank you Yunzhao! Didn’t he say not to ask her to come?
There was anger in her voice: "Miss Li, I am inconvenienced right now. Please move to the main hall with my mother."
Li Wan'er had no chance to express her worries before she was ruthlessly driven away. She felt a little aggrieved.
The Duke's wife hurriedly held her and glared at her son. Even if she was not satisfied, she had to pretend to be happy. As the future heir, she had to tolerate others.
"Wan'er, don't mind it. Yun Zheng's injury is too painful. When we come in, he will cover us with a quilt and won't let me in."
Li Wan'er nodded and sat down: "It was Wan'er who offended."
"How could that be? You are engaged, so it's a good thing to worry about each other when things happen." Seeing that her complexion had improved, the Duke's wife quickly had someone put up a screen.
"You two can talk. The door is open. I'll have someone prepare some refreshments."
The Duke's wife walked out with a smile, not forgetting to take Akabane with her.
Xie Yunzheng glared at Chiyu and told him not to leave!
Akabane ignored the order and followed the lady's instructions. If the master could get along well with Miss Li, perhaps he would forget about the princess.
"How did the prince encounter an assassin? Why did he leave the house last night? Was he going on errands?" Li Wan'er had a lot of questions to ask.
There was a happy event in the Duke's Mansion last night, why did he go out? Was he unhappy because his ex-fiancée married his younger brother?
Xie Yunzheng was reluctant to answer correctly, but he couldn't be rude, so he admitted directly: "Yes, I'm on duty."
Li Wan'er nodded. Fortunately, it was not what she thought. "Is the injury serious? I asked someone to bring some good ginseng."
Xie Yunzheng stared at the ceiling of the bed and responded impatiently: "It's just a minor injury, thank you."
It sounded like he didn't want to talk much, but Li Wan'er didn't want to leave so soon. They should cultivate their relationship more.
Besides, she was thinking about the matter of Dongzhu. She was thinking about the wording in her mind, but it was not that she was stingy and would not give up a pearl.
"I heard that the Dongzhu from the Duke's Mansion was given to the princess as a betrothal gift?"
Xie Yunzheng tilted his head slightly, looked at the figure behind the screen, and asked what he was doing. "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just gave it to the princess, and I don't have it when it comes to me. I'm afraid someone will gossip. Why don't I borrow it from the princess and return it to her later?"
Li Wan'er felt that what she said was correct, and she was generous and nonchalant, and she was just thinking about the Duke's Mansion.
Xie Yun turned her head back, feeling angry. What right did she have to argue with Yongjia? "No need, she is a princess, she deserves it."
Li Wan'er was stunned, holding the hem of her skirt tightly with her hands. "I didn't mean to argue with her. I just thought that since the prince has a title after all, our betrothal gifts and dowry should naturally be higher than the second young master's wedding standard."
Xie Yunzheng closed his eyes. He had a narrow vision. How could Yongjia ever care about these things?
Except for the oriental pearl, all her betrothal gifts had been replaced according to the rules and were no longer for the Crown Prince's wife to enjoy.
But Li Wan'er is still haggling over a pearl and even wants to compare it with the dowry!
"Her dowry was prepared by both the mansions, and even the princess couldn't get more."
Xie Yunzheng felt that the marriage was not a good one. After all, no one was better than Yongjia: "Or do you think that someone would look down on you because of these things? If so, I, the prince, must not be worthy of you. Why don't you go to your father and explain it clearly and cancel the engagement."
Li Wan'er stood up in fear and waved her hands repeatedly, saying anxiously, "I didn't. I just think that since we will be living in the same mansion in the future, it would be better if we don't have too many differences. It's also for the good of the prince."
Xie Yunzheng retorted mercilessly: "Oh, there's not much difference. How can your backgrounds be compared?" If a princess and a commoner girl marry two brothers, can their dowries be the same?
