With a "crash" sound.

Wei Hanzhang spilled all the hot tea in his hand onto her face.

The room became completely quiet.

Although Wei Hanzhang was spoiled since childhood, she was not arrogant or unreasonable. Whenever she went out to meet friends in Xuzhou, she always had a smile on her face no matter whose house she went to. She was generous and easy to get along with, and she had a good relationship with several cousins ​​from the Jiang family.

After returning to the capital, there were only three sisters at home, Wei Hanshuang, Wei Hansu and Wei Hanyu. Soon, two of them got married.

After Wei Hanyu and Wei Hanshuang got married, Wei Hansu was the only sister left in the Wei family. This concubine sister was timid and was almost sent away by Wei Ping to be a concubine. Wei Hanzhang herself had suffered injustice at the hands of Wei Ping's Liu, so it was inevitable that he felt some sympathy for her.

It is said that poverty breeds treacherous schemes while wealth breeds conscience. Wei Hanzhang was one of the extremely wealthy ones. Except for some grievances she suffered at the hands of Wei Ping Liu, everything went smoothly for her, both in her maternal grandfather's Jiang family and in the care of her parents.

There were only two romances between a man and a woman. One was with her childhood sweetheart who had been obedient to her since childhood, and the other was with Xiao Boqian who almost held her in his hands.

Being pampered by the crown prince of a country, her level of wealth has reached the pinnacle that a woman of this era can have, both in terms of status and position, as well as simple psychological emotions.

Although the current social atmosphere is open, it is still not easy for girls in the boudoir. Wei Hanzhang is happy that everything is going well for her, and she doesn't want to see those close to her suffer misfortunes. Therefore, she is willing to take care of these sisters around her without violating her own principles.

She was also willing to show kindness to this half-sister, with whom she was not very close before, and sincerely hoped that she could escape the fate of being a concubine in the original novel.

But Wei Hanzhang never expected that, although he might not be devoted to this concubine sister, at least he cared about her, what did she just say? Because she didn't agree to use the imperial power to snatch a man for her, then...

Unspeakable disappointment surged in her heart. Wei Hanzhang put down the teacup in her hand, raised her hand and pointed to the door, and said softly: "Go away, get out of Qixiang Palace. From now on, who you like and who you marry has nothing to do with me."

Wei Hansu knelt upright, her chest heaving due to her intense breathing. The tea washed away all the delicate makeup on her face and finally allowed her to calm down.

After her anger subsided, she realized what she had said and her face turned from red to white.

"Ran Ran is right. I was not sober. I said the wrong thing when I was confused." She crawled a few steps on her knees, hugged Wei Hanzhang's knees with her arms, and cried, "Please forgive me, sister. I was really a little crazy today. What I said was unintentional."

Wei Hanzhang stood up, broke free from her hand, and said indifferently: "Get out, I don't want to see you."

"No! Don't do this to me!" Wei Hansu hugged her legs and begged, "We are sisters. You know that my sister has never been able to speak. Please don't blame me for my words."

Her face was full of regret, tears welling up in her eyes, and she said sincerely: "I was stupid, I don't even know what I said, Ranran, please don't chase me away."

These days, no matter which circle of noble ladies she went to, she was always met with warm and polite smiles. Wei Hansu knew exactly why.

The clearer she understood, the more she regretted her impulsive behavior. If she was really kicked out of Qixiang Palace overnight, would anyone care about her tomorrow? She was born weak, and now her eyes were red from crying, with tears rolling down one by one. She was really pitiful, and it was really unbearable to look at her.

But Wei Hanzhang was not moved. She lowered her eyes and said calmly, "You are so loyal and chaste, so you should understand one thing: love is not a business. Give up. I hate power and oppression the most. I can't force Chen Zishu to marry you."

"Yes, yes!" Wei Hansu nodded repeatedly and said, "Ran Ran is right. I dare not have any more delusions."

Is it really possible for a timid girl to read people's expressions and react according to the situation?

It's really...

Thinking of Xiao Boqian's assertion about this concubine's sister, Wei Hanzhang felt a chill in his heart and said, "You can go out."

Wei Hansu wanted to beg again, but when she looked up and saw her extremely cold face, she paused for a moment, stood up hastily, and said, "Okay, sister will leave now and will come to see you tomorrow. Ranran, please don't be angry with me."

Finally, he didn't insist on asking her to get out of Qixiang Palace overnight. Wei Hansu raised her sleeve to wipe her tears. She was sure in her heart that Ranran was kind-hearted. As long as she was not driven away immediately, she would beg and cry a little more, and those words she had said without thinking would be forgotten.

Wei Hanzhang was the only one left in the room. She sat down again and thought for a long time.

…………

At night, Xiao Junzhan, who had been busy with government affairs all day and had not shown up, walked to Qixiang Palace under the moonlight.

At that time, Wei Hanzhang had already taken off her hairpins and curled up on the bed, flipping through a storybook and preparing to go to sleep. When she heard Luzhu's report, she paused slightly, stood up and put on an outer coat, thought for a moment, and then carefully tied her belt before letting anyone in.

When Xiao Junzhan entered the room, he saw the little girl sitting upright on a soft chair. He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "You haven't rested yet?"

Wei Hanzhang glanced at him unhappily and said, "You knew I should rest at this time, but you still came here."

"I haven't seen you for a day, and I feel a little uneasy." He admitted it readily. He walked over a few steps, picked up the girl on the chair, and walked towards the bed.

"Stop!" Wei Hanzhang hurriedly stopped him, "If you want to look at me, look at me carefully, but don't carry me to the bed."

Xiao Junzhan stopped moving, lowered his eyes and looked over, and asked, "How did I make you angry?"

Since their status was determined, they had lost their habit of following the rules in their interactions, and meeting each other at night was common.

There were many times when he played on the couch in dishevel. The little girl was very bold and loved to tease him no matter what. If it weren't for Xiao Junzhan's strong self-control, it would be hard to say whether the toad blood on Wei Hanzhang's arm would still exist.

Today is so regular...

"Are you blaming me for not accompanying you during the day?" Xiao Junzhan lowered his head and kissed her forehead, saying softly, "I have been busy these past few days. I will accompany you properly after this busy period."

"I'm not angry. You're busy with state affairs. How could I get angry with you over this?" Wei Hanzhang touched the place where he had kissed her. He wanted to kiss her back fiercely, but he held back and muttered softly, "I just think that this is not a good thing for us."
