Wei Hanzhang may not care about what others think, and she may not care about what Wei Hansu says, but she cannot help but care about what her lover thinks of her.
Xiao Junzhan was slightly startled by her question, then he turned over and lay beside her, hugged her in his arms, and said in a calm voice: "Why do you ask this? Ranran has never been attracted to anyone else, so how can you say that you are tempted by someone else?"
“……”Wei Hanzhang was silent for a moment.
According to what she said before, she was attracted to Gu Yunran only because he was suitable for her and there was no romantic relationship between them, so it could not be considered as being fickle.
"Why do you want to ask this?" Xiao Junzhan held her hand and said, "Did anyone gossip in front of you?"
"I saw this word in the book and remembered it."
I didn't want to tell him what Wei Hansu said, not because I was worried about Wei Hansu being punished, but mainly because Gu Yunran hadn't consummated his marriage with Qi Yuxiao...
If he knew about this, given his addiction to making vinegar, who knows what he would think.
Xiao Junzhan didn't know whether she believed it or not, so he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he lowered his head and kissed her, saying, "Can I stay tonight?"
Wei Hanzhang was startled and sat up straight in an instant: "No! We are not married yet, what's the matter with you staying over at my place? If you call..."
"I promise you, no one will know." Xiao Junzhan hugged her and said softly, "Ranran, be good. How about letting me hold you and sleep for one night?"
"No matter," Wei Hanzhang firmly disagreed, pointing at the door and said, "It's already late, you should leave quickly, I should go to bed."
She insisted that he would not allow it, and Xiao Junzhan had never been able to do anything to her. He sighed slightly and said, "Then I'll leave?"
Wei Hanzhang kissed him and drove him away with a smile.
…………
Xiao Junzhan walked out of Qixiang Palace in the moonlight, his face calm. No one could tell anything was wrong, but Ning Hai's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
He looked carefully at the palace gate behind him, not understanding why his two masters, who had been so loving and affectionate these days, were so angry again.
Not long after returning to Chengming Palace, the leader of the Dark Guard Division, Si Mang, hurried over upon hearing the summons. He knelt on one knee as soon as he entered and said, "Greetings, Your Highness."
"Get up," Xiao Junzhan said, sitting in front of the imperial desk, "I asked you to keep an eye on the Gu family before. Has there been any progress recently?"
As early as when he knew that the girl had a childhood sweetheart and that the Gu and Wei families were arranging a marriage for them, Xiao Junzhan ordered his men to pay more attention to the Gu family.
Everything went smoothly afterwards. The marriage between the Gu and Wei families was called off, and Gu Yunran obeyed his parents' orders to marry someone else. Xiao Junzhan no longer paid much attention to the Gu family.
Until today.
The girl, who was usually extremely bold and never knew what restraint was, suddenly became well-behaved with him and asked strange questions.
Fickle?
It was obviously related to the Gu family. Xiao Junzhan tapped the imperial desk lightly with his fingertips and looked down.
"Reporting to Your Highness," Si Heng had already stood up, bowed slightly, and said respectfully, "Since Lord Gu returned to the capital to take up his post, he has been impartial in his official duties, and I have not found anything wrong. However, after the Gu family married a new bride, his inner house has become a little lively."
"On the night when the bride entered the house, the eldest son of the Gu family did not even enter the bridal chamber, leaving the young lady of the Qi family waiting for her all night..." Si Lang paused before continuing, "Until now, the two have not consummated their marriage."
Ning Hai, who was standing nearby, frowned as he listened. He finally understood why his prince was in a bad mood after meeting the girl from the Wei family tonight.
The fingertips tapping on the imperial desk stopped at some point, and the atmosphere in the hall was extremely oppressive.
After a long silence, Xiao Junzhan slowly said, "Cheng Yi just endured it like this? Did Mr. and Mrs. Gu Xulin know about this?"
Si Hang reported back, "On the second day after the wedding, Miss Qi made a big scene. Lord Gu and his wife knew about it. Lord Gu reprimanded and advised his eldest son."
At this point, his expression was a little subtle: "But this time, Gu's Dalang refused to listen to his parents. He was tired of being scolded and told Master Gu that he was the one who asked her to marry him and asked his father to go and complete the marriage himself."
If Wei Hanzhang were here, he would probably laugh out loud. These words really sound like something his naughty childhood sweetheart would say.
But she was not there, and the one who heard these words was Xiao Junzhan, and he couldn't laugh.
Not only could he not laugh, but if Ning Hai dared to take a careful peek at this moment, he would have discovered that his Highness's expression had become ice-cold, and his jaw was extremely taut.
Xiao Junzhan was thinking at this moment, his little girl suddenly behaved tonight, was it really like she said, she reflected on herself that they were too aggressive in their previous interactions, or was it because she knew from some unknown source that Gu Yunran didn't touch his wife, so...
So, she was touched by his behavior and was consciously keeping herself for Gu Yunran? She didn't want to get close to him anymore.
…………
The next morning, Wei Hanzhang had just gotten up when he heard that Wei Hansu had been waiting outside for a long time.
"Don't let her in." Hearing Lu Zhu's report, Wei Hanzhang was slightly startled and said, "Go out and tell her that I will no longer care about her affairs in the future, and tell her not to come to me again."
Luzhu nodded softly and turned to go out.
Lu Lan was left to pin her hair. The master and servant had been close since childhood. Lu Lan whispered, "Did Miss Seven have a grudge against you because of Master Chen?"
Thinking of what his half-sister said yesterday, Wei Hanzhang curled his lips and smiled, saying, "Who knows if she has gone insane and actually wants me to force Chen Zishu to marry her."
As for being a concubine?
With Xiao Boqian's oral order in mind, Wei Hansu herself knew that the daughter of the Wei family could not be a concubine. What she said was just a retreat to advance, and she wanted to show her determination to marry Chen Zishu in front of her.
Outside the palace gate.
Wei Hansu, just like that day, was holding a box of chicken soup that he had cooked overnight, and was looking at the door carefully. When he saw the door open and Luzhu walked out, he asked expectantly, "Is Ranran awake?"
"My daughter is still dressing up, so I'll let you go back," Lu Zhu bowed slightly and said, "My daughter said that you don't need to come anymore in the future, and she doesn't want to ask about your affairs anymore."
"Ran Ran is still angry with me," Wei Hansu's face turned pale, and he forced a smile, handed over the food box, and said, "If she doesn't want to see me, then I won't go in. I made this bowl of old ginseng chicken soup myself, and simmered it on low heat all night. Can you help me give it to Ran Ran?"
She was always gentle, and was even more kind to the maids and servants around Wei Hanzhang. She was careful to make friends with them and never acted like a master.
During these days, the two sisters have become close. As Wei Hanzhang's personal maids, Luzhu and Lulan could not help but greet her, and they have developed a close relationship.
Faced with Wei Hansu's request and looking at her watery and expectant eyes, Luzhu was really embarrassed for a while.
