Yueli responded, but ran into Qingxing when she went out.
She looked unhappy, even a little distraught. Qingxing had always been steady, and she had never seen her like this before. Yueli couldn't help but stare at her for a few moments.
Fang Yanran hadn't noticed yet and asked, "When did the prince say he would come?"
She went to the dressing mirror and checked her hair and makeup. Qingxing remained silent for a long time. Fang Yanran then realized something was wrong. She threw the ivory comb in her hand and asked with a raised eyebrow, "Didn't you see it?"
Qing Xing shook her head and said with difficulty, "No... I saw him, but the prince... said he had something to do."
Fang Yanran thought for a moment that she had misheard. Xu Zekun actually rejected her? She sent her personal maid to invite him in person, and he actually refused?
Inexplicably filled with anger and shame, Fang Yanran threw all the jewelry on the table to the ground. Her beautiful face was filled with anger: "Then where did he go?"
"Looking at the direction, it seems to be heading to Yingxue Pavilion."
There was another sound of objects falling to the ground. Fang Yanran gritted her teeth and said, "That vixen!"
She was very angry. This was the first time she showed her kindness to Xu Zekun, but he rejected her, which made her feel humiliated.
Although Qingxing felt a little strange in her heart, she could keenly sense that the master's attitude towards the county lord had really changed. At this time, she could not confront him head-on.
She patiently persuaded Fang Yanran one sentence after another: "Master, you may be angry, but the county lady should not give up. I will ask again tomorrow. You are the prince's consort, and you are the one that the prince has kept in his heart for so many years. You will not change easily. If it really doesn't work, there is still the old lady."
Fang Yanran was still angry. Judging from what she was thinking at the time, she would naturally not ask Xu Zekun again.
But late at night, wrapped in her quilt, she thought of the cold look Xu Zekun gave her when he got off the carriage, and his tender and affectionate look towards that woman, and the jealousy in her heart grew like weeds.
She seemed unable to accept that Xu Zekun ignored her.
Is it like Qingxing said, if she tries a few more times, Xu Zekun will soften his heart?
Fang Yanran patiently invited Xu Zekun for three more days, but Xu Zekun remained unmoved.
Things never happen three times. Fang Yanran cried and turned to go to Shou'an Hall.
It's human nature. Fang Yanran was very arrogant and cold before, and she almost never tried to please Wu, so Wu naturally couldn't stand it.
But if such a person could just soften a little, Wu would feel that she was not so hopeless.
After all, she is the princess of a county, of noble status, and was brought up in the care of her family.
Now that her personality has changed and she wants to live a good life with Xu Zekun, why would the old lady disagree?
She is the legal wife, and the couple lives in harmony, which is also good for Xu Zekun.
Looking at Fang Yanran's tearful eyes, Wu couldn't help but recall the scene when she was bullied by the concubine before. She made up her mind that now Yao was pregnant. If Xu Zekun and Fang Yanran got along well, maybe they would have a legitimate son.
I don’t know why my son suddenly changed his personality. Did something happen to him?
Mrs. Wu planned to have a good talk with Xu Zekun.
_
Xu Zekun could ignore Yanran and not go to Huanfangyuan, but he had to go to Shou'an Hall.
The old lady was very concerned about Yao Susu's pregnancy and would ask about it every time she saw Xu Zekun. After asking about Yao Susu's pregnancy today, she said, "Yao is not feeling well and I'm afraid she won't be able to serve you. How about I take in another concubine for you?"
The smile on Xu Zekun's lips froze, and he put down the teacup with a steady look in his eyes. He said, "Mother, I don't think this is appropriate."
"oh?"
"You know, my son is not someone who is obsessed with women. I am afraid that it will be bad for Yao's health if she takes a concubine right after she becomes pregnant."
The old lady's smile faded, and she said, "Is she really so petty? Or is she spoiled by you? Could it be that she will be your only concubine in the future?"
Xu Zekun felt a little annoyed. He was not a dull person and had already noticed that his mother was dissatisfied with Susu because of how much he valued Susu recently.
He sighed and explained, "It's not that she would be dissatisfied. You know, she has the most gentle temperament. It's just that my son doesn't want to make her sad."
He told Mrs. Wu about his encounter with the bandits in Wuzhou, omitting the detail that it was Sun Lingyun who instigated the bandits to kidnap Yao Susu. He only emphasized that when the bandits were trying to assassinate him, Yao Susu stood in front of him without hesitation.
His tone was gentle, his eyes tinged with sadness. "When she turned around and stood in front of me, I was truly shocked. Mother, my son and I are not destined to be together. It's rare for me to meet a woman like Yao who is so devoted to me. I want to cherish her and ask you not to be too harsh on her."
Wu really didn't expect that there was such a story behind this. No wonder Zi Ling's attitude towards Yao changed so quickly.
This makes the connection. She is not a cold-blooded person. How could she be unhappy that someone treated her son like this? In fact, she even elevated Yao Susu's status in her heart.
What's wrong with pampering a woman like this? What's more, she's pregnant, and that's Zi Ling's only child!
However, the matter of taking a concubine was just something the old lady brought up as a starting point. What she mainly wanted to talk about today was Fang Yanran.
"In that case, I won't force you to take a concubine. But what about your wife? I heard Yanran sent people to invite you, but you refused to go over and over again. How can this be called a harmonious family?"
Mrs. Wu didn't like Fang Yanran before, but that was because her son was too eager to do the job, while Fang Yanran was arrogant. Now that she saw Fang Yanran softened, she naturally wanted them to reconcile. After all, Fang Yanran had the imperial concubine behind her.
