From what he said, it seemed that he was planning to throw away all these "things" for her, and only want her in the future.
Judging from his unhesitating attitude, he must have done this many times. Before her, he must have abandoned countless old loves in order to please new ones.
Wei Hanzhang sneered in his heart. Which girl would want to be a concubine at the mercy of others? Especially if she could marry into the palace as a concubine, she had to be a girl from a minor official family at the very least. She entered his backyard cleanly and wanted to treat him as a concubine...
As expected, men are heartless. When they are in a good mood, they are affectionate to each other, but when they are in a bad mood, they can ruthlessly dismiss those women who have had physical contact with them and even gave birth to children with them in order to satisfy their new love.
Wei Hanzhang's sudden outburst of anger frightened Ning Hai, who was not far away, so much that his shoulders trembled and he stared in panic.
What is this for...
Why... did you yell at His Highness? Xiao Junzhan didn't expect her to react like this. He frowned and looked at her. Wei Hanzhang was not afraid at all. She looked back angrily, "It's useless to look at me, Xiao Boqian. I will never marry someone as cold-hearted as you."
She couldn't explain why she was so angry. Logically speaking, he was a scumbag and it had nothing to do with her. The last time she was so angry was because she knew that Gu Yunran had two concubines.
Wei Hanzhang couldn't figure out her own psychology. After saying those harsh words, she became more and more upset and turned around to go back, but Xiao Junzhan subconsciously grabbed her sleeve to stop her.
"You will never marry me?" He lowered his eyes to look at her, and said lightly: "Ran Ran is speaking from the heart?"
"I couldn't be more sincere!" Wei Hanzhang was still angry, and shook off his hand, saying, "My concubines and concubines are also people, not objects. You have used up their old ones and don't like them anymore, so you just discard them for the new ones. There is no place for single women in this world. Since you want them, if they have done nothing wrong, you should give them a place to stay instead of arbitrarily rejecting them. What's the difference between this and letting them die?"
After saying that, she couldn't stay any longer and walked a few steps to the gate of the courtyard. This time no one stopped her. She was about to open the door and go home, but in a flash she thought that the safety of dozens of people in the Jiang family was in his hands.
this……
Wei Hanzhang stood there stiffly for a few moments, then slowly turned around and met Xiao Junzhan's eyes.
As if he was shocked by her words, Xiao Junzhan was still in a daze. When he saw her turning back, there was a light trembling slightly in his eyes.
Wei Hanzhang pursed his lips, thinking to himself, "I can bend and stretch," and then he bowed and said, "It was my fault for being rude today. I hope you don't mind, Your Highness."
Xiao Junzhan looked at her quietly, and Wei Hanzhang looked at her without avoiding her. After a long, long time, he suddenly smiled. He stood in the empty courtyard, his eyes bright and gentle, like a fairy.
Wei Hanzhang was dazzled by his smile, and before he could react, he had already walked up to him. A pair of hands appeared on his arms, and he slightly retracted his strength, and then he pulled him into his arms.
"Ran Ran," the man's voice beside my ear was low and gentle, "Why are you so likable?"
The scent of cool woody fragrance filled his nostrils. Wei Hanzhang blinked in confusion and finally reacted. He pushed the man away and raised his hand to slap the scoundrel in the face, but was stopped by someone grabbing his wrist.
"Be good, don't do it." Xiao Junzhan smiled and said gently, "I couldn't help myself at the moment, I won't do this again in the future."
This slap...
"I see you can't help yourself all the time..." I really want to scold this scoundrel, but then I think that the life and death of the Jiang family is still controlled by him, so it's not the time to turn against him.
Even though he was so angry that he gritted his teeth, Wei Hanzhang could only hold it in. He almost hurt himself and said angrily, "Do as you please. I want to go back."
This time she opened the gate without hesitation and slipped back home.
Only Xiao Junzhan was left standing there, looking at the closed gate, twirling his fingertips as if thinking about something.
The attendants around did not dare to breathe loudly. Ning Hai waited for a long time, and when he noticed that his prince's mood was gradually calming down, he tiptoed over.
Xiao Junzhan paused slightly, turned around, but did not rush to take a step. Instead, he gently called Ning Hai.
Ning Hai hurriedly said, "The servant is here."
"Are you wondering why I didn't just tell her that I'm the crown prince?"
"I dare not." Ning Hai said respectfully, "It's just... I see that Miss Wei is not indifferent to you. If I tell her my identity, perhaps..."
"She has misunderstood my identity for so long. If I suddenly tell her that I am not the Prince of Yan... I don't know how angry she will be with her temper."
Xiao Junzhan's eyes were deep. There were some things that he didn't think were a big deal at first, but he didn't expect that the longer he kept it secret, the more difficult it became to talk about them.
Out of love comes fear, and he was extremely afraid that the girl would get angry and ignore him.
"Your Highness," Ning Hai could not help but advise, "You can't keep your identity a secret forever, or Miss Wei will misunderstand that you are..."
Thinking of what Ran Ran had just said, Xiao Junzhan's eyes moved, and he loved her so much that his voice became softer. He said, "Wait until I have dealt with the Jiang family's affairs for her first, and then I will confess to her while she is in a good mood."
I just hope that girl won’t really take it to heart with him.
………………
The Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, Jingya Hall.
Although she was well prepared and knew that it would be a pity if a marriage like Gu's, which flattered the powerful and looked down on the weak, failed, Jiang was still deeply shocked.
These days she was worried about her eldest daughter who attempted suicide in the Buddhist temple, and was also concerned about the cases in her mother's family. Unfortunately, as a woman, she could not help, and could only hold on with the presence of her young daughter at her knees to comfort her.
Now even her youngest daughter's marriage has fallen through, and everything is going wrong. Jiang was extremely exhausted, and after dinner she leaned back on the couch and fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up, my husband was sitting beside the bed.
This morning, when the Gu family came, Wei Heng was not at home. He was busy with errands at noon and did not come back for lunch. After finishing his shift, he returned home and paid his respects to his mother in the main courtyard. It was from Liu that he learned that his youngest daughter's marriage had fallen through.
As a father, he was the last one in the family to know about this.
He was sitting beside the bed with his eyes closed when he saw his wife wake up. He brought a bowl of warm medicine and said, "Drink the medicine first. The court doctor came to check your pulse. You are depressed and your blood circulation is not smooth. You should think less and rest more in the future."
Jiang didn't say anything, stopped her husband from feeding her the medicine himself, and took the bowl of medicine and took it herself.
Just as she put down the bowl, a plum was stuffed into her mouth. She was stunned.
Wei Heng took his hand back and said, "The smell of medicine is too strong. Eat something sour to reduce the smell."
Jiang smiled bitterly: "I'm used to it."
