"If you insist on getting a divorce from Liu Niang, our family can compromise and agree to your request." Liu was about to say something else, but Wei Ping raised his hand slightly to stop her. He said in a deep voice, "I just hope you won't harbor any more resentment against me and your grandmother. We are blood relatives, not enemies. Our family sincerely hopes for the best for you."
This is true. Wei Hanzhang knows it well. The entire Wei family hopes that she can successfully become the queen or empress dowager.
This is the real step to success.
She nodded and replied lightly, "Don't worry."
After Wei Ping agreed, Wei Hanshuang's divorce became easier.
On the second day, Wei Huan and the Qian couple went to the Shen family in person and took Wei Hanshuang back that day.
Wei Hanzhang was the only unmarried girl in the family, and she had a good relationship with her cousin. Therefore, on the day Wei Hanshuang came back, in order to prevent her from worrying too much, she moved into Jianxiayuan without hesitation to accompany her and relieve her sorrow.
The Shen family refused to agree to the divorce for the time being. For several days in a row, Shen Yu went to the residence of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery to ask for a meeting, sincerely hoping to win his wife back, but he couldn't even get through the door.
He stood outside the gate of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's mansion for a whole day.
But as long as you make up your mind, there is no marriage that cannot be broken.
This matter caused quite a stir, and all the noble families in the capital were paying attention to it.
After a few more days, Wei Hanshuang's spirits recovered a little. The ladies of the Wei family asked her about her feelings again. After confirming that she still insisted on divorce, they took the dowry list and went to the Shen family in person to carry back Wei Hanshuang's dowry box by box.
Even the visits of Marquis Yongle and his wife Chen in person failed to save the relationship. Wei Hanshuang did meet her mother-in-law, but her determination to divorce was not shaken at all.
Perhaps it was because the Wei family's attitude was indeed tough, and the Shen family realized that the matter was irreversible. After all, the Wei and Shen families did not want to become enemies in a marriage that was a good one between the two families.
The Shen family finally agreed to the divorce and only waited for Wei Hanshuang to recover before signing the divorce agreement and returning the marriage certificate.
Jiang went to the Marquis' Mansion every day, and when she saw that the Shen family had agreed to the divorce, she showed some joy on her face.
After her niece divorced, her eldest daughter came out of the ancestral temple. Even though she was far away from the capital and could not see her every day, as long as her daughter lived happily, as a mother, she would only be happy for her child.
These days, Wei Hanzhang accompanied Wei Hanshuang every day, and from time to time, she went to the ancestral temple to talk with Wei Hanyue. The three sisters lived a very comfortable life.
Wei Ping and Liu were not only not disappointed, but they came in person and gave the girl some strange and eccentric gadgets that she would like. They looked kind and gentle, completely different from before.
The two sisters became visibly more lively, each looking forward to their own route after leaving Beijing. Wei Hanzhang couldn't help feeling a little envious.
…She wants to go too.
…………
Time flies, and the day of autumn hunting finally arrives.
Except for Wei Hanshuang who did not go due to poor health and the divorce being talked about, all the members of the two branches of the Wei family went.
But at this moment, Wei Hanzhang was neither in the Wei family's carriage nor had he gone to the Jiang family.
She was personally picked up by Ning Hai and brought to the palace early in the morning. She was now sitting in the prince's carriage. After looking around, she turned back to the young man opposite her and said with a curled lip, "Why did you bring me here? Didn't you agree to let me stay with my sisters?"
It had been several days since they last saw each other, and it was a rare opportunity for them to meet. There was no joy in the girl's eyes, and Xiao Junzhan's joy gradually faded.
He raised his eyes and said, "Come to the hunting ground once, Ran Ran doesn't want to hunt by himself, but stays in the tent and waits for others to bring prey?"
"Of course I want to draw the bow and arrow to hunt." It's so rare to go to the hunting grounds. If she doesn't go for a walk around the hunting grounds, it will be a wasted trip. She is not a quiet person.
Wei Hanzhang looked at him and asked, "How good are you at archery? Do you also go hunting yourself?"
"It's OK," Xiao Junzhan said, "I'm more than capable of teaching you. Just follow me in the hunting ground for a few days."
really!
“…That’s not the case.”
The enclosure is not like a palace, it has an inner and outer city. It is not appropriate for them to live in the same tent. The tent he prepared for her is actually next to his own.
But when he heard her question, Xiao Junzhan couldn't help but feel a little moved, and asked tentatively: "If you want to live with me, then..."
"Who thought about it!" Wei Hanzhang quickly denied: "I didn't think about it!"
Her voice was firm and decisive. Xiao Junzhan pursed his lips and just looked at her.
He missed her so much after not seeing her for several days, but she had been spending every day with the two girls from the Wei family these days, not even returning to her own yard, so he had no chance to find her.
She was so happy accompanying her two sisters that she almost forgot about him, leaving him alone and sick with longing.
Looking at her heartless appearance at this moment, Xiao Junzhan's eyes gradually became dim.
I couldn't help but start to wonder, did she really not even go back to her own yard just because she wanted to accompany her cousin who was about to leave?
Is there a reason why she is deliberately avoiding him?
I knew he would come looking for me, so I made an excuse to accompany my sisters to avoid him for a few days.
The two of them have known each other for such a long time, and whenever they are together, his eyes are basically fixed on her. Wei Hanzhang has already gotten used to his gaze, but now she feels a little uncomfortable.
She raised her hand to fix her hair, slightly blocking his view, and then said, "I want to live with my two cousins, is that okay?"
...She was indeed afraid that this man would come over at night and molest her.
Xiao Junzhan understood what she meant, and smiled when he heard it: "No."
"......?" It was very rare for him to reject her request so directly. Wei Hanzhang's pupils dilated unconsciously and he blurted out: "Why?"
Why can't I live with my cousin? "I haven't seen you for a few days, I don't want to be separated from you again," Xiao Junzhan frankly admitted his longing for you, and said softly, "I thought about it, it's better for Ranran to live with me."
His tone was so tender that before Wei Hanzhang could react, he held her hand on the table, squeezed it gently, and asked with a smile, "Good girl, can you give me a hug?"
"No!" Wei Hanzhang subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back, but naturally she didn't. She frowned and said, "Xiao Boqian, I feel uncomfortable with you being like this now. If you really want to flirt with me, then prepare the wine for dinner."
If you really want to flirt with someone, then prepare the bar tonight...
As soon as she finished speaking, her hand was tightly grasped, and Xiao Junzhan's expression darkened without her noticing.
Does she know what it means for a man to need alcohol to get his loved one close to him?
The atmosphere in the carriage inexplicably began to stagnate.
After a long while, Xiao Junzhan said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, I'll let Ranran drink enough tonight."
...He seemed angry.
Wei Hanzhang was a little confused. She didn’t think she had said anything wrong.
She was just telling the truth.
I was frightened by his words.
What does it mean to drink enough...
Soon, the poison was cured (End of this chapter)
