Chapter 13: Breaking the Engagement
Wang's mother was indeed arranging a marriage for Wang Yu, but Wang Yu's father had died early, and Wang Yu's words were final in the family. As long as Wang Yu was willing, the marriage would not be difficult to arrange. As for Wang Yu's marriage proposals, she did not care. As long as the marriage fell to her, her goal would be achieved.
Sun Wei thanked Sima Jun.
Sima Jun stared at her for a moment and asked, "You're not surprised at all. It seems you know it. If you know it, do you still like Wang Yu?"
Sun Wei felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this.
She respected Sima Jun, so she didn't want to leave a bad impression on him, but now it seemed inevitable.
"There are many reasons for my marriage, so it's hard to tell Your Highness."
Sima Jun nodded: "In that case, I am interfering too much. You can go now."
After that, he continued drinking.
Sun Wei knew Sima Jun's reputation for being aloof and cold towards others, so the fact that he could say so much to her was already very kind of him.
She wanted to explain, but she didn't know where to start, let alone why to explain.
After struggling in her heart, she finally stood up and said goodbye.
When she left the garden, she met Sun Zhi who came hurriedly and heard some bad news.
Just now, the eldest princess took the initiative to arrange a marriage between Wang Yu and the family of Princess Luling in front of Wang Yu's mother, and Wang Yu has already agreed.
"I have brought Wang Yu to the West Wing for you. Go there quickly and persuade him to change his mind."
Sun Zhi pointed Sun Wei in the direction of the west wing, but Sun Wei remained indifferent.
"Why don't you go now?" Sun Zhi urged. "If this marriage falls through, it will be bad for both you and me."
"Brother, please give me a moment and let me think about it carefully." Sun Wei finally spoke.
"What are you thinking?" Sun Zhi scolded. "You and I have put so much effort into this, how can we let our guard down at the last minute?"
Sun Wei looked at him with sharp eyes.
Sun Zhi couldn't help but stop talking when the words were on the tip of his tongue.
"I said I'd think about it," Sun Wei said coldly. "If you're anxious, go talk to Wang Yu yourself. If you can wait, wait for me for three sticks of incense."
She left after she finished speaking. Sun Zhi saw Sun Wei's temper for the first time and was a little afraid to provoke her.
Sun Wei did what he said and appeared in front of him on time three sticks of incense later.
"I've changed my mind," she said. "I don't want to marry Wang Yu."
Sun Zhi was quite angry: "If you don't marry, won't that mean you've failed? There are only so many people you deserve right now. If not him, who else do you want to marry?"
Sun Wei looked towards the waterside pavilion and said, "Brother, what do you think of His Royal Highness Prince Yuzhang?"
Sun Zhi was surprised by Sun Wei's decision, but then he became excited.
"Oh? Prince Yuzhang?" His eyes lit up. "Are you sure?"
In Sun Wei's eyes, this is the only option.
Wang Yu had betrayed her, and she had already lost her dignity by begging him. Perhaps she could have won Wang Yu's return, but with the intervention of the eldest princess, the road ahead would surely be full of obstacles.
She longed for a good marriage, but this marriage was obviously not a good one today.
Since it's not good, she would rather not have it.
As for Sima Jun, she acted out of selfish motives.
For the past three incense sticks, she repeatedly questioned herself: why did Sima Jun's words make her so flustered? That feeling of panic even made Wang Yu's betrayal seem insignificant.
The answer is because she cares and because her heart is moved.
She likes Sima Jun.
Since he was going to choose a good official, why not choose someone he liked? Besides, Sima Jun was a prince, so wasn't he a thousand times more powerful than Wang Yu?
The only problem, and also the biggest problem, is that it is difficult for Sima Jun to marry her.
The surprise lasted only a moment, and Sun Zhi quickly poured cold water on it.
Sima Jun wanted to marry Cui Pan, a general of the Northern Army, and marry his sister Cui Mi. It was heard that the six rituals were already being prepared.
"No problem." Sun Wei said calmly, "Brother, do you think anything I've accomplished along the way is easy? Just do your best, and leave the rest to fate."
Sun Zhi was confused: "Then what are your plans?"
"It ruined this marriage."
