After hesitating for a long time, Luzhu shook her head and said, "No, the chicken soup cannot be taken in, but I will tell my daughter about your feelings."

Wei Hansu's fingers gripping the food box suddenly exerted force, his face looking miserable, and he said, "It's my fault. I'm sorry for putting you in a difficult position."

After saying that, she forced a smile, lowered her head and let a tear fall, then turned and left.

Luzhu looked at the back of the gentle and somewhat flattering girl in the mansion and bowed again to say farewell.

When he saw no one, he went inside and reported, "Seventh Miss has left. When she came, she brought some chicken soup that she had made herself. She said she had been simmering it over low heat all night."

Yesterday, she and Wei Hansu were the only ones in the room. Luzhu and Lulan were not there. Seeing the little girl's expression of pity, Wei Hanzhang said helplessly, "She really made your daughter angry. Can she be appeased with a bowl of chicken soup?"

Hearing the question, Lu Zhu said embarrassedly: "I know, Miss Seven just asked me to help her bring you chicken soup, but I didn't agree."

Wei Hanzhang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Fortunately you didn't agree, otherwise I would be mad at you too."

Luzhu pursed her lips and smiled, then helped her master change clothes.

…………

On the other side, Wei Hansu returned to his room, waved away the maids, and sat alone in front of the window. His face was as gloomy as water, and he no longer looked weak in front of others.

After thinking quietly for a long time, she called the maid to put on makeup for her.

Looking at myself in the bronze mirror, I am young and in good shape. Even though I didn't get a good rest last night, my face doesn't look haggard at all. The girl in Beijing is still gentle, charming, delicate and beautiful.

Wei Hansu curled his lips into a smile, picked out a low-key and simple old dress to change into, and walked out of the palace with his trusted maid.

Longzhou City, Zhaihua Tower.

Qi Yuxiao pushed open the window of the private room, looked at the people walking downstairs, and asked curiously, "Sister Liu, do you think she will come?"

"Of course." Liu Wanning smiled lightly, very confidently: "Women are all jealous, especially those who are used to being cowardly. They are even more jealous and only remember grudges but not kindness. They usually look weak and timid, but once they are determined, they are the most ruthless. This Wei Mansion Seventh Lady is such a person."

"Then we have to give up our previous plan?" Qi Yuxiao didn't care about Wei Hansu's character at all. She just said unwillingly: "I have arranged all the people inside and outside. As long as we can lure that bitch out, she will be ruined!"

"I can't use it for now," Liu Wanning shook her head slowly, and said, "Now that I think about it, this method is too risky. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince values ​​that bitch so much, there's no guarantee that he hasn't arranged for someone to secretly protect her. If he fails, we'll all be in trouble."

The same method may be successful against Wei Hanyue, but it does not mean it will be successful against Wei Hanzhang.

If they really fail, even if they clean up the place thoroughly from beginning to end, they will not be able to stop the investigation by the capable men under the prince.

There are countless talented and capable officials in the government and the country, but not all of them are as useless as Wei Ping.

Qi Yuxiao was convinced. She had been arrogant since she was a child, but she was not really stupid. If she could avoid taking risks, it would be better.

Although, she really wanted to see the high and mighty 'Crown Princess' being trampled into the mud.

That would be so clean and neat, isn't it more straightforward than the current methods?

But she knew that Liu Wanning was right. It was too risky to directly arrange for people to humiliate the Crown Princess. Although the current plan seemed too roundabout to her, it was much safer.

Two pots of hot tea were boiled and the sun was halfway up in the sky when there was finally a knock on the door of the private room.

The trusted servant bowed and walked in, holding a jade pendant in his hand, and said, "There is a girl who claims to be surnamed Wei outside asking to see you."

"Please let her in." Liu Wanning took the jade pendant and finally felt relieved. She thought she had made a mistake this time.

Soon, a girl wearing a veil came in. After seeing another person in the private room, Wei Hansu was slightly startled, and quickly took off her veil, bowed and smiled, "Greetings, Princess Chengyi."

Qi Yuxiao heard this long-lost address and curled her lips and said, "Since you are here, you are all one of us. Please sit down."

Wei Hansu sat down as she was told. Liu Wanning lifted her lotus arm and poured her a cup of tea, saying, "Qiniang is willing to come. She must have seen through your ninth sister's true colors."

"Humph!" Qi Yuxiao sneered, "At such a young age, she is so fickle and greedy. It is not enough for her to have the favor of my uncle. She wishes that all the outstanding men in the world would think of her and admire her. In fact, the three of us are all defeated by her."

The more she spoke, the angrier she became. She felt so angry at her husband's cold-heartedness and the fact that he didn't even look at her. She even thought that the fact that she was stripped of her princess status for no apparent reason was probably due to that bitch.

Qi Yuxiao was born noble and blessed. She had never hated anyone so much in her life. She wished that bitch would die immediately.

"Princess Chengyi's words are very appropriate." Wei Hansu looked at the face of the princess' daughter, which was filled with hatred. His eyes moved slightly, and he said slowly, "My sister is indeed greedy. She wants the favor of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but she also doesn't want to make Chen Shizi give up on her and not allow him to marry or take concubines. She wants to have all the good things in the world for herself."

Thinking about how she had cried and begged yesterday, almost to the point of being humble, but her sister, who was usually easy to talk to, was so hard-hearted that she remained unmoved. Wei Hansu's smile turned cold.

She looked at Liu Wanning and said calmly, "Miss Liu said yesterday that she wanted to discuss something about Ran Ran with me. Now that I'm here, just tell me straight away."

When she said the word "Ran Ran", her tone was still somewhat gentle, making people feel close to her.

Liu Wanning was startled, and after studying her expression, she asked tentatively, "You two sisters have such a good relationship?"

"Miss Liu, there is no need to test me anymore. Didn't Princess Chengyi say that since I'm here today, I'm one of your people?"

Wei Hansu picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said, "Before yesterday, I sincerely treated her as a younger sister, but she didn't treat me as a sister. So, don't blame me for being unfair to her."

She knew that once she walked into this room, she would be destined to go against Ranran.

But, so what?

Although she was a girl from a marquis's mansion on the surface, her status as a concubine's daughter made her live on thin ice in the Wei Mansion. She was extremely cautious in her words and actions, fearing that her words would anger her stepmother and make her unhappy.

Not long after she came of age, her grandfather sent her to be the prince's concubine. She had originally accepted her fate, but it was this sister who came back from Jiangnan who gave her new hope.

She had a new identity, jumping from a concubine's daughter of the second room of the Marquis's Mansion to the only unmarried girl in the Duke's Mansion. Even though she was born out of wedlock, she had a sister who was the Crown Princess.

She was careful in showing her kindness and taking every step carefully, just to let this lucky sister have some blessings leak out from between her fingernails so that she could have a bright future.
