What did she say? How old is he to be her father? Xiao Junzhan moved his hand away and lowered his eyes, wondering what to write.
After a long while, he raised his eyes and said seriously: "Your father is eleven years older than me, I can't be your father."
"..." Who wants to calculate this with him? Wei Hanzhang turned his eyes away and stared at the back of his hand that he had held. He was inexplicably angry: "If you do this again, I will never come again."
Xiao Junzhan was stunned. He was already filled with shock and anger, and he became even more anxious after hearing what he said. He was always decisive in his actions, never dragging his feet. At this moment, he felt a rare moment of hesitation in his heart.
Why do you need to coax her like this? Otherwise, just...
Seeing that he was hesitant and silent, Wei Hanzhang assumed that he had realized his mistake, and whispered, "It's not appropriate for me to be alone with you in a room. If you keep touching me, how can I dare to come here again?"
Xiao Junzhan looked at her quietly, his eyes relaxed a little, and after a long silence, he said, "Do you really care so much about age?"
“……”There’s no way around this hurdle, right?
He also wanted to borrow money to save his grandfather's family. Wei Hanzhang knew that he had to look like a beggar when asking for help, so he forced a dry laugh and said against his will, "Not really, but I mind your frivolous behavior."
"That day, I saw him holding your hand," Xiao Junzhan turned his head away from her and said softly, "Do you think he is frivolous?"
"..."Wei Hanzhang was stunned for a long time.
He... is talking about Gu Yunran? Is he... is he... jealous?
The girl hesitated to speak, so Xiao Junzhan turned his head to look at her again: "Ran Ran, don't bring up the engagement. You don't have an engagement with him now."
Wei Hanzhang was slightly annoyed by his questioning, and simply raised his voice: "Then what do you want? Comparing with Gu Yunran in everything? He and I grew up together, not to mention shaking hands, when I was young, I even..."
The words disappeared in his cold face.
Xiao Junzhan's eyes were cold: "What else?"
“Also…” Wei Hanzhang was inexplicably flustered. She took a step back before saying, “We also had a fight.”
There were only the two of them in the room, and the only sound was the other's breathing, besides the sound of the wind blowing the window.
Xiao Junzhan was silent for a long time, then hummed very softly and said, "It doesn't matter, Ranran, you are a sensible girl, right?"
Wei Hanzhang understood the meaning of his words, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he said nothing.
The girl, who had always been fearless, felt uneasy for the first time when she heard his gentle voice.
I kind of regretted agreeing to his request so easily yesterday. Coming here today, I feel like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.
This guy is so aggressive!
All that gentleness, propriety and noble character are just illusions.
…………
As the morning passed and the sun rose to the middle of the sky, Ning Hai's voice came from outside the door: "Master, do you want lunch?"
Xiao Junzhan said in a deep voice: "Pass it on."
Hearing this, Wei Hanzhang breathed a sigh of relief and walked around the desk to say goodbye: "I'm going back to eat."
"You can use it here." Xiao Junzhan said, "No need to worry about anything else."
No need to worry about anything else?
Wei Hanzhang said: "As long as I am at home, I will have lunch with my mother."
If you don't go, Jiang will definitely send someone to look for you.
Xiao Junzhan twisted his fingertips slightly, not knowing whether he should tell her that there was no need to worry about this.
As long as I'm with him, I don't have to worry about anything.
After a pause, he said, "Then remember to come back after you finish your meal."
………………
After Wei Hanzhang left, Ning Hai came in and saw his prince's expression, and immediately said something was wrong.
As a close servant, he knows his master better than anyone else. Even though Xiao Junzhan always looks indifferent, Ning Hai can vaguely guess something.
He stood with his back bent, not daring to say a word, only wondering in his heart what the girl from the Wei family had done that could so easily arouse His Highness's murderous intent.
Xiao Junzhan thought for a long time and called out softly, "Ning Hai."
Ning Hai bowed hurriedly and said, "I'm here."
"You said..." Xiao Junzhan hesitated, paused for a moment, and then said: "She has a bold personality, will she do..."
Xiao Junzhan paused again when he said this. Although there was no sign of anger on his face, Ning Hai felt frightened. However, he really didn't understand why. He silently chanted Buddha in his heart and whispered, "What will you do?"
The room was quiet for a few breaths before Xiao Junzhan's voice was heard: "It shouldn't be like that. Ranran is a good girl."
He said, "Let's set the table."
"promise."
After such a long time, Ning Hai was sweating profusely. Although he was still confused, he understood that the prince had given up his murderous intent.
………………
The weather in May is sunny and the temperature is suitable.
Wei Hanzhang accompanied Jiang to dinner. Seeing that she was becoming increasingly haggard these days because of worrying about the Jiang family, he could not help but comfort her, "Don't worry, mother. Didn't Gu Yunran say that the Crown Prince personally issued an oral order out of consideration for my grandfather's many years of service and hard work. The Jiang family has not even been put in shackles and shackles. They will be fine."
Her soothing was effective.
Ever since she got the news from the Gu family, the two mouth ulcers that Jiang had gotten from worrying about her mother's family have disappeared. However, even if she is not put in shackles, she cannot feel completely at ease until the case is decided.
Jiang's expression softened slightly, and she said with relief, "Ran Ran is the only one in the mansion who is as worried about your maternal grandparents' family as mother is. Something happened to your father-in-law's family, but your father didn't care about it. He was afraid that I would ask him to intervene, so he has been avoiding me these days."
Actually, it was not Wei Heng's fault. The five words "Jiangnan Corruption Case" were so terrifying that no one dared to get involved with the Jiangnan officials.
As for the Jiang family's affairs, not to mention Wei Heng, a fifth-rank official, even Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Wei Ping himself did not dare to come forward to inquire.
Wei Heng avoided Jiang, perhaps because he was afraid of being stared at by her resentful eyes.
As for Wei Yunpei, the grandson of the Jiang family, he is still young and has not had much impression of this maternal family since he was born. For him, apart from worrying about his mother's health, the incident of the Jiang family itself is of no concern to him.
After coming out of Jingya Hall, Wei Hanzhang hesitated whether to go next door in the afternoon.
That Prince Xiao seemed gentle and good-tempered, but she always felt that he was very dangerous.
Can…
If he doesn't go, what will happen if he doesn't save the Jiang family? According to the original work, the Jiang family is destined to be cannon fodder.
Thinking of this, the idea of going to play with Wei Hanshuang suddenly disappeared. Wei Hanzhang turned around and obediently returned to his own yard.
After sending away a few maids, she took the two maids to the Tingfeng Pavilion in the backyard as usual.
This time the courtyard gate was closed. Wei Hanzhang knocked and someone pushed the wooden door open from the other side.
When she walked into the study room she had been in this morning, Ning Hai was still standing guard outside the door. When he saw her coming, he said respectfully, "Miss Wei Jiu, please come in."
"..."Wei Hanzhang nodded slightly and walked in.
