She stood up and prepared to change her husband's clothes. Wei Heng held her shoulders and said softly, "Madam, take a rest. I will do it myself."

Because of the Jiang family's affairs, Wei Heng avoided the Jiang family for many days, feeling somewhat guilty. He said in a gentle voice, "I have asked someone to find out, and my father-in-law and his family will be able to arrive in Beijing in the next two days."

"What did father say?" Jiang's face tightened and she said anxiously, "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince specifically ordered the removal of the shackles and fetters from the rest of my Jiang family, I believe there is room for maneuver and perhaps my second and third brothers can be spared."

Wei Heng said: "Father is old, and he has been slowly moving away from the center of the court for the past few years. Apart from court meetings, he has no chance to meet Your Highness on weekdays, but he promised that if there is a chance, he will not stand by and watch you die."

Even if he wanted to save his face and plead for his in-laws, it would not be appropriate to speak directly in the court, and it would be even more inappropriate to submit a memorial to the emperor...

Hearing this, Jiang's face showed bitterness, and she forced a smile and said, "It is my fault that I am unfilial. I troubled my father to worry about our Jiang family."

"Relax..." Wei Heng said a few words of comfort, then paused for a moment and said, "I have something else to tell you."

Wei Heng slowly told his father and brother the news he had heard tonight.

Jiang was combing her hair. Upon hearing this, she put down the comb and said angrily, "So what if she is the princess's daughter? So what if she is a princess! Can a princess ..."

"Shut up!" Wei Heng's face changed and he shouted in a low voice. Seeing his wife's panic, he could not help but slow down his tone and said softly, "Father means to see what the Gu family is planning."

Although they were satisfied with this marriage, if the other party backed out, then they, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, would not force themselves to marry him.

Wei Heng also sighed in his heart, wondering why the marriages of his two legitimate daughters were so tortuous.

Then again, even if the Gu family could still insist on a verbal marriage contract and come to propose marriage, would his delicate little daughter really marry him? Jiang's face was still full of anger, but she didn't dare to say anything more. Even if there was no one else in the room, the consequences of the drunken Zi Yi Hou's rebellious words were in front of her.

All the noble families in the capital were terrified.

"Wait a moment, the Gu family may have a harder time than us." Wei Heng patted his wife's shoulder and comforted her: "Ran Ran is a blessed child. If this marriage fails, we will find her a better one."

…………

A night passed.

Early in the morning, Wei Hanzhang sat in front of the dressing table with an extremely ugly look on his face.

The wound caused by the whip yesterday was not a serious matter at the time. It was not painful and not red or swollen. I applied ointment after returning home. I thought it would heal most of the way overnight. Unexpectedly, after waking up from a night's sleep, the wound was even more painful than yesterday.

She frowned and applied another layer of ointment on her face. After hesitating for a while, she told Nanny Sun: "Go tell my mother that I want to sleep in today and will not go to pay my respects first."

Nanny Sun looked at the wound on the young master's face with concern and asked anxiously, "Does it hurt a lot?"

Such a lovely girl, but now there is a red scar on her left face, which is really heartbreaking. Fortunately, the skin is not broken, otherwise if it leaves a scar, it would be really...

Wei Hanzhang shook his head, "It doesn't hurt. My mother has been worrying about my grandparents' affairs these days. You should stop making her worry about me."

Nanny Sun came from Xuzhou as part of Jiang's dowry, so she knew that the Jiang family had been in trouble. Her eyes reddened slightly when she heard the words, and after quietly agreeing, she left.

As soon as she left, Wei Hanzhang looked at his face in the bronze mirror, worrying about whether he should go next door today.

Go? The wound on her face was too embarrassing. She didn't want to embarrass herself in front of that person.

But if I don't go, will he think that I broke my promise and won't help the Jiang family? Wei Hanzhang is a decisive person. He made the decision without much hesitation.

Still have to go!

Of course, the safety of the Jiang family is more important than being embarrassed.

She was a little late today, and when she pushed open the gate, Ning Hai was already waiting there, looking a little anxious.

The door was pushed open from the other side. Ning Hai breathed a sigh of relief. He looked up and saw the red mark on her face. His heart skipped a beat and he asked repeatedly, "What happened to the girl? Where are you hurt?"

Wei Hanzhang was a little dazed by his nervous look. How could it be like the sky falling just by a red mark?

You know, in Wei Hanzhang's view, Ning Hai, the eunuch following behind the Prince of Yan, has always been a steady image.

After a short pause, Wei Hanzhang walked away and said, "The tail wind from the whip hit my face."

Fortunately, I didn’t get really hit, otherwise, I would probably have been covered in blood and disfigured.

Ning Hai paused and said no more. He bowed and watched Wei Hanzhang walk up the stairs. After he entered the room, he called the servants on both sides and whispered a few words to him.

It wasn't that far from the courtyard wall to the main hall, but Wei Hanzhang became more and more nervous as he walked.

She was thinking, Ning Hai, her personal servant, had a discolored expression when he saw the wound on her face, so how could the master...

This expectation soon had an answer.

When Wei Hanzhang walked in, Xiao Junzhan was reviewing memorials at his desk as usual. He looked indifferent, dignified and gentle, truly a fine young man in this corrupt world.

Only Xiao Junzhan himself knew that he was far from being as indifferent as he appeared. However, after not seeing her for a day, he felt like something was empty in his heart. And it happened that the girl came particularly late today.

This has delayed half an hour...

He looked out the door again and his gaze met Wei Hanzhang's.

Xiao Junzhan's eyes stayed on her face, his expression was slightly startled, and he slowly put down the pen in his hand, "What's wrong with your face?"

"..." Wei Hanzhang paused, sat down at the tea table by the window, poured himself a cup of hot tea, took a sip, and said sullenly: "Nothing, I accidentally got it."

Xiao Junzhan frowned, stood up from the desk and walked towards her.

Wei Hanzhang clasped the tea table with her fingertips, feeling uncontrollably nervous. She lowered her head, and soon a person stood in front of her.

"Look up and show me the wound on your face."

Wei Hanzhang said: "It's really okay, not at all..."

Before she could finish her words, a hand appeared on her chin and her face was lifted up irresistibly.

"Don't move. Let me take a look first." With a little force on his fingertips, Xiao Junzhan carefully examined the red marks on the girl's face, his eyes gradually turning cold: "Who hurt you?"

"Let me go first." Although they were often alone these days, Wei Hanzhang was not used to being so close to each other. She didn't know where to put her hands and feet. She said in panic, "There are differences between men and women. Xiao Boqian, stay away from me."

Xiao Junzhan glanced at her red ear tips, paused for a moment, slowly loosened his fingers, and said in a low voice: "Ran Ran is really worrying. She got hurt after not seeing her for just one day."
