Wei Heng is a man, he understands men better. Even if he is the Crown Prince who has never been interested in women, he can still face the girl he likes and be alone in a room...

"Master, why worry? What's the point of thinking so much?" Jiang poured a cup of cold tea and handed it to him, saying calmly, "If Your Highness really wants to... we can't stop him."

After these words were spoken, Wei Heng's breathing stagnated slightly.

……Too.

The old father tried to comfort himself. After all, his daughter's status had been determined and the wedding date would probably not be far away. His Highness had been lonely for many years, and now that he was willing to get married, he must love Ranran very much.

Treat others as you would like to be treated. No man would put his beloved into an embarrassing situation.

Thinking of this, his heart softened when he looked at his wife again.

Jiang was thinking about something when she suddenly turned her head and saw him looking at her with affectionate eyes again. Goose bumps immediately appeared on her arms.

My God, they have been married for twenty years, but recently she almost can’t recognize the person next to her.

Jiang was a virtuous woman. In recent years, whenever Wei Heng came to the main room for a few more days in a row, she had to push him to the concubine's room. He listened to her advice at that time, but these days, she suddenly wanted to send the concubines away, and he even came to the main room to sleep every day. No matter how she tried to persuade him to go to the other two concubines' rooms, she would not listen.

Let’s not talk about Lin for now. She is a house-born girl and has been serving Wei Heng since she was a child. She is a few years older than him and is almost forty years old now. The novelty of her life has long worn off.

But Jiang had looked at him coldly before, and he was somewhat different from Shen, otherwise all three illegitimate children would not have been born from Shen's belly. But now he was unwilling to even look at her.

Instead, he looked as if he was possessed and kept getting closer to her every day.

It's really...

Jiang's expression was helpless and a little indifferent.

…………

On this side, Wei Hanzhang was inevitably feeling a little depressed after driving her lover away. However, this depression immediately disappeared when she received a message from Jiang that they would be able to move to the new Duke's Mansion in three days.

My mood improved, and as night was about to fall and it was not so hot outside, I went downstairs to the pavilion next to the lotus pond, where I enjoyed the scenery for a while and fed the koi some bait.

Her relaxed look made the maids and aunts around her feel relieved.

Naturally, the news reached the palace as soon as possible, so that the person in Changji Palace could rest assured.

…

Wei Hanzhang has always had a very good sleep quality, and Jiang Shi did not like to restrict her, and the maids under her would not disturb her sweet dreams for any other insignificant matters.

So, when she woke up, it was already dawn.

Luzhu, who was sleeping in the outer room, had woken up long ago. When she heard the noise inside, she brought the basin in and helped her wash.

"Seventh Miss came early this morning," Lu Zhu reported as she combed her hair, "She is waiting downstairs with a food box in her hand."

"Seventh sister? What is she doing here?"

Wei Hanzhang was a little surprised. She had been back in Beijing for a few months, but she had met her sister only a handful of times and had very few conversations with her. As Jiang had commented, her sister was a little shy and could not be the lady of the house who needed to go out to meet guests and was good at socializing.

If Jiang Zhixue's character is a little stingy and sensitive, then Wei Hansu's character is purely timid.

After a while, there were very light footsteps approaching, and a slender figure named Mei Gu led into the room. She gave Wei Hanzhang a reserved smile, bowed deeply, and whispered, "Greetings, Her Majesty the Crown Princess."

“…Don’t! Just call me Ranran like before.” Wei Hanzhang was shocked by her name and said, “I just received the imperial decree and my sisters call me like this. If it gets out, people will laugh to death.”

Wei Hansu's shoulders shrank slightly, with panic and apology in his eyes: "Yes, I won't dare to do it next time."

"I don't blame you, you...you don't have to panic." Wei Hanzhang couldn't stand her little rabbit look, so he softened his voice and asked, "Seventh sister, what's the matter with you coming to my place?"

With a 'thump' sound.

Wei Hansu knelt down in response, put the food box on the ground, and began to kowtow, saying: "I am here to thank Ranran, if it weren't for you..."

As she spoke, she choked up and couldn't go on.

Wei Hanzhang had already understood her unfulfilled meaning. Xiao Boqian had ordered Wei Ping yesterday that no girl in the Wei mansion was allowed to be a concubine for the next three generations. Jiang sent someone to tell her about this.

Seeing her half-sister crying, Wei Hanzhang put down the jade comb in her hand, stood up from the dressing table and helped her up.

Wei Hansu could get Jiang's comment that she was "not bad looking", so she couldn't be wrong.

After all, if the concubine was ordinary-looking, Wei Ping would not have the idea of ​​sending her to the palace as a concubine.

Wei Hansu had a slender and graceful figure, and her beautiful black hair was a little messy due to the kowtow. Wei Hanzhang helped her up and found that the two sisters were not only similar in age, but also in height.

The morning sunlight made her face look even softer, and even the tears on her face looked pitiful.

She is an extremely beautiful and gentle girl.

At least, Wei Hanzhang felt helpless in this pitiful state.

"Seventh sister, you don't have to thank me." Wei Hanzhang helped the person up and said with a smile: "I only found out about this later."

"It's because of Ran Ran that His Highness is paying attention to this matter." Wei Hansu shook his head stubbornly: "Although I am of low rank and have little to say, I know what is right and what is wrong. If it weren't for Ran Ran... I would have entered Prince Ping's mansion next month."

"So soon?" Wei Hanzhang didn't know about this. She comforted him, "...it's all over. You will be the daughter of the Duke's Mansion in the future. Your status will be different. You can be bolder in what you say and do. Don't be so cautious and always worry about offending people."

"...Yes," Wei Hansu picked up the food box on the ground and said softly, "This is the chicken soup I made last night. I simmered it on low heat for most of the night. It's already soft and boneless. Ranran, do you want to try it?"

Hearing this, Wei Hanzhang subconsciously wanted to refuse. It was so early in the morning and the weather was so hot, who could drink something as greasy as chicken soup?

Looking at those red eyes like little rabbits, she changed the subject temporarily and said, "Seventh sister, have you had breakfast yet? It's a good opportunity for you to have breakfast with me."

The two sisters were having breakfast when Aunt Mei came in quickly. She first glanced at Wei Hansu across from them, then whispered, "Miss, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived downstairs."

"...He came pretty quickly." Thinking of how he had remained silent and wanted to be coaxed, and how he had been jealous yesterday, Wei Hanzhang still had some anger left, so he ordered, "Tell him to wait, I haven't finished eating yet."

Mei Gu seemed to be hesitant to speak, but finally said, "...Yes."
