Chapter 62 My Wife is Very Powerful
Wen Kehao found this scene extremely jarring.
He secretly gave Zhong the fortune teller a look, and the latter understood immediately, stepping forward and saying, "Alas, if I had known the Crown Princess's birth date and time earlier, I would have informed the Princess sooner, preventing them from meeting. This ill-fated relationship continues, and the Crown Prince's life is in danger. If the Princess cannot be ruthless now, how will she bear the pain of losing her child in the future? I have said all I have to say; whether the Crown Prince can live in peace depends entirely on the Princess's decision."
Princess Anshun looked conflicted and hesitated to make a decision.
Wen Kehao reminded her, "Your Highness, you know Zhong Shensuan's abilities. All the predictions he made for our manor in previous years came true. We can't ignore his words. My elder brother and sister-in-law have been married for less than two months. No matter how close their relationship is, it can't surpass that of us relatives. Besides, a short pain is worse than a long one. It's better to make my elder brother sad than to put his life in danger!"
Wen Kehao's words struck a chord deep within Princess Anshun's heart. She clenched her fists, paced back and forth several times, and looked at Meng Lingge again, "Lingge..."
She still wanted Meng Lingge to be separated from Wen Zhiming for a while, until she found an expert who could solve the problem, and then the two children could be reunited.
But looking at the fearful and wary look in Wen Zhiming's eyes when he looked at her, she really couldn't bring herself to say it.
"Enough." Meng Lingge looked at Wen Kehao and Zhong Shensuan, her eyes calm and indifferent. "Stop pressuring the Princess and the Crown Prince. I'll talk to you. But we'll have to wait a bit."
Ignoring their surprised looks, Meng Lingge pushed Wen Zhiming away slightly and coaxed him gently, "Husband, please wait for me outside first. Let me talk to them. I'll go back with you after we're done talking, okay?"
Wen Zhiming's voice trembled with anxiety, "No, they'll bully you. I want to stay here and protect you. As long as I don't let go, they can't take you away."
"No, my husband. You don't know, do you? I also know a little about fortune telling. I have to have a contest with Master Zhong. As long as I beat him, he will naturally realize he was wrong and won't bother me anymore," Meng Lingge coaxed patiently.
"Really?" Wen Zhiming was still a little uneasy.
Meng Lingge nodded confidently.
"Of course it's true. Didn't you say I'm the best? You should believe me. Anyway, you go outside and wait. If they really try to take me away, you can save me then."
Wen Zhiming thought about it and realized that his wife was right. Anyway, if they wanted to take his wife away, they would have to leave the room. He would just stand guard outside the door and make sure they couldn't hide it from him.
"I'll listen to my wife." Wen Zhiming nodded obediently, but when his gaze turned to Zhong Shensuan, he said fiercely, "You wait, my wife is very powerful!"
Wen Kehao and Zhong Shensuan then realized that Meng Lingge's request for them to wait was actually to get Wen Zhiming out of the way first. This was naturally perfect for them. After all, with Wen Zhiming causing trouble, Princess Anshun was bound to be swayed by her womanly sentimentality.
Even if things turn out the way they want in the end, Wen Zhiming will probably cause a huge uproar.
However, Wen Kehao was a little worried because Meng Lingge said she knew a little about fortune telling. After all, the fortune teller Zhong she had found didn't have any real skills, and if Meng Lingge saw through her, all her efforts would be in vain.
He gestured to Zhong Shensuan with his eyes to be careful, and Zhong Shensuan returned him with a confident, sinister smile.
Although he truly lacked the ability to calculate, he had been deceiving people for over ten years, so how could a sheltered young lady like the Crown Princess be a match for him?
Seeing Wen Zhiming leave the room, turning back every few steps, Princess Anshun asked in confusion, "Lingge, you can tell fortunes? What young lady would learn such a thing?"
Meng Lingge lowered her head and smiled bitterly, "To be honest, Mother, I don't know how to tell fortunes. I said that just to coax my husband to leave. My husband is too agitated, and if he hears that I obey you, he definitely won't accept it."
"I see." Princess Anshun nodded in understanding, then asked in surprise, "Lingge, do you mean you're willing to separate from Mo'er temporarily? You've agreed to that?"
Wen Kehao and Zhong Shensuan were also somewhat surprised. They carefully examined Meng Lingge's face, trying to discern something amiss. However, Meng Lingge looked helpless, appearing bitter and resigned to her fate.
“My husband is loving and devoted to me, and he is the one I want to grow old with. Of course, I don’t want to be separated from him. But as my mother said, if I have feelings for my husband, I should think of him and not put his safety aside for my own feelings. I can’t be so selfish.”
"Good child." Princess Anshun covered her face and wept with emotion. "I knew you were sensible. Don't worry, your mother will find a way to resolve this matter as soon as possible. Your mother will also make sure you are taken care of and that no one will gossip about you."
Wen Kehao chuckled inwardly. As long as he won the first step today, Meng Lingge's dream of returning to her elder brother's side would be nothing but wishful thinking.
Because he would absolutely not allow that to happen.
But things went too smoothly today, and Meng Lingge was too cooperative, making him feel like it was all a dream. Only by getting this matter settled quickly could he be completely at ease.
“It’s wonderful that you think this way, sister-in-law. The sooner the better, let’s do it today. I’ll arrange for someone to help you move your things.”
"Third brother, don't be in such a hurry." Meng Lingge sighed, her eyes filled with reluctance. "I have another request."
Princess Anshun, unsure how to express her remorse, hurriedly replied upon hearing this.
"What kind of unreasonable request is this? My good child, please tell your mother what you need. Don't be so formal."
Meng Lingge nodded sadly, "My husband will definitely make a fuss about this for a while after I leave. I'm really worried about him. These days, it's been me and my four maids who came with my dowry taking care of him. I was thinking that since my husband and I are incompatible according to our birth charts, perhaps one of my maids is compatible with him. Why don't we take advantage of Zhong Shensuan's presence to have them checked out as well, and keep one or two suitable ones to take care of my husband?"
“Firstly, my husband has been taken care of by them lately, so I feel more at ease leaving one or two of them behind. Secondly, those whose birth charts are compatible with my husband's will surely help him stay safe and healthy.”
What she said made perfect sense.
Wen Kehao couldn't find a reason to refuse.
He guessed that Meng Lingge was still somewhat unwilling to accept the situation, which was why she wanted to leave one or two reliable maids by her elder brother's side to prevent others from taking advantage of the situation. Anyway, her elder brother only liked Meng Lingge, so leaving a few maids wouldn't be a big problem.
Besides, if he could drive away Meng Lingge, what chance would he have against one or two maids? Getting rid of this big shot, Meng Lingge, as soon as possible is the most important thing.
Thinking of this, Wen Kehao agreed, "Sister-in-law is right."
In fact, it wasn't just Wen Kehao who thought this way; Princess Anshun also believed that Meng Lingge's intention in leaving the maid behind was to prepare for her future return.
This suited her perfectly, so of course she had no reason to stop it.
Seeing that neither Wen Kehao nor Princess Anshun had any objections, Meng Lingge said calmly, "Then I'll trouble Zhong Shensu."
Then, in a gentle voice, he instructed Dongqing to call Chunhong, Xiazi, and Qiulan over.
