Hearing that Luo Zhiwan was taking a walk in the garden, Wei Changle dressed up in her finest clothes and went with her maid.
When the two met face to face, Luo Zhiwan tried to take a detour, but was stopped by her.
"What? You think you can run away just because you've seen me, the princess?"
run?
She clearly didn't want to waste her breath on her and simply didn't want to talk to her.
"If I haven't done anything wrong, why am I running away? I just remembered that I have something very important to do and don't have time to waste here."
She seemed to anticipate that an argument was inevitable if she met her.
Wei Changle lifted her skirt with both hands, strode to her side, raised her chin, and looked at her arrogantly.
"She's just a peasant woman. Does she really think that Leng Chuchen letting her stay here will make her a phoenix on a branch? She's really overestimating herself."
"Why are you spouting this nonsense to a peasant woman like me? Are you perhaps envious of how Leng Chuchen dotes on me?"
"you……"
Her thoughts had been exposed, and Wei Changle's face immediately turned ashen.
"Who envies you? I feel sorry for you. Let me tell you, I'm about to marry Leng Chuchen and become his Crown Princess. You, a concubine, shouldn't even dream of climbing to the top. Even if you sleep with him every day, it won't do you any good. You're not worthy of being his principal wife."
As she said this, she glanced sideways and saw Leng Chuchen walking towards her. She narrowed her eyes, took two steps forward, and said sarcastically:
"Looking at me like that? Are you defiant? Let me tell you, even if you have a child, it will be a bastard, and you will only ever be a concubine."
Clearly, she wanted to provoke her.
Luo Zhiwan frowned slightly and replied with only two words.
"boring!"
She said a lot of things to make her angry, but the other woman only replied with these two words, which made her even angrier.
She rammed directly into her. Luo Zhiwan dodged alertly and continued walking forward, but she lost her footing and fell to the ground.
"Luo Zhiwan, you dare to plot against me."
She rubbed her buttocks, pointed at Luo Zhiwan, and shouted angrily.
"I'm going to seek justice from the Emperor of your Celestial Empire and ask him to set an example for me."
Just then, Leng Chuchen strode over.
The scene before him left him momentarily unsure of right and wrong.
When Wei Changle saw him, she rushed to complain.
“Leng Chuchen, this woman pushed me and made me fall. If I get hurt or anything happens to me, everyone in your Crown Prince’s mansion will be executed.”
Buried with the deceased?
"You think you can die from a fall? Are you a two-dimensional character?"
She mocked him helplessly.
"You're the one who's thin! Everyone knows you're strong. I'm already weak, and now that you pushed me, my back hurts..."
As she spoke, she reached out her hand to Leng Chuchen.
"Brother Chen, please help me up."
Upon hearing this name, he couldn't help but think of Yue Xiaoyue and Yue Xiaomin, and his brows furrowed instantly.
He instructed the maid standing not far away:
"Are you all made of wood? What are you standing there for? Don't you know how to help Princess Chang Le up?"
Seeing Leng Chuchen walk towards Luo Zhiwan, Wei Changle angrily shook off the maids who were about to pull her away, "Get your filthy hands off me."
He then stood up, patted his bottom, and muttered angrily:
"I'm going to complain to the Emperor..."
Leng Chuchen turned to look at her.
“Princess Chang Le wants to file a complaint, but I suggest you find a suitable reason. I saw it myself just now, and Zhi Wan didn’t even touch you. You fell down because you lost your footing. If you make a false accusation, it won’t look good for the reputation of your Nan Yuan Kingdom!”
"you……"
Wei Changle's face almost turned green.
Luo Zhiwan looked up at Leng Chuchen and gave a helpless, bitter smile.
"Thank you for your keen insight, Your Highness..."
"That's just how it is. By the way, I've had the house in the city cleaned up. Now I'll take you to see if there's anything you need to buy. Once your parents arrive, you can move in right away."
Parents?
Did he call out that so naturally?
Seeing her standing there in a daze, he tugged at her.
"What are you standing there for? Let's go!"
He pulled her forward, while Wei Changle stomped her feet in anger.
"Leng Chuchen, you'll be mine sooner or later. Even if you're someone else's leftovers, I'll still have you."
She was getting angrier and angrier the more she looked at Luo Zhiwan; she even found her back view repulsive.
When the two of them arrived at the house that Leng Chuchen had mentioned, they found it to be even cleaner and brighter than she had imagined.
"Is this place really that big?"
"When Jiawang gets married in the future, he can live here. After having a few more children, it won't feel so old."
She turned her head to look at him.
"Are you going to let them stay here indefinitely?"
"Of course, you are my wife, and they are your family as well as my family. As long as they are willing, they can stay here forever."
She looked at him with great gratitude, then nestled into his arms like a little bird, "Leng Chuchen, thank you."
This scene surprised and delighted him.
Having known her for so long, she had always resisted his getting close to her. Recently, however, she not only made him keep watch at Donghui Courtyard, but also occasionally got close to him and gave him small desserts from time to time, which really excited him.
He raised his arm and hugged her tightly, smiling contentedly.
"From now on, call me husband."
"But... I'm just a concubine now."
"I told you, this is only temporary. By the way, I was thinking that when I get back this afternoon, I'll tell the steward to put all the household affairs in your hands. You, the mistress of the house, shouldn't think you can have it too easy!"
