Chapter 322 Gossip (4)
Sima Jun said calmly, "It's getting late. It's not appropriate for Madam to go out."
Sun Wei looked at the bright sun outside.
Sima Jun smiled and said, "Don't be angry. I'll ask someone to bring the food. It's time for lunch."
"I don't want to eat. I'm full of anger." Sun Wei said, turned around and left.
Sima Jun paced slowly and followed Sun Wei.
When they reached Wufeng Courtyard, Sun Wei slammed the door shut, locking Sima Jun outside.
He was not in a hurry. He folded his arms and leaned against the door.
The spring in March is bright and beautiful, and the peach trees in the yard have sprouted new buds, which are very lovely.
He said patiently, "Madam, can't you see? The Wang family is no longer as powerful as it used to be. After Wang Ho, there will be no more Wang Ho. Once Wang Ho dies, the Wang family will become the next Huan family. What benefit can you gain from marrying into their family?"
Sun Wei knew this truth, but Wang Han now had something that Sima Jun could not get.
She took a few deep breaths, and after a long while, she spoke, "I have told the Crown Prince that if he follows the previous king's path, he will only be a local lord. Only by entering the inner court can the Crown Prince gain a firm foothold, revive the royal family, and ultimately unify the country. But right now, without Wang Han's support, the Crown Prince won't even be able to set foot in the inner court. Didn't the Crown Prince say that he would do his utmost to assist the Crown Prince?"
"My thoughts have never changed. It's just that I have a woman I love, so I can't marry Wang Xuanji."
It was the first time that Sun Wei heard Sima Jun say the word "admiration", and she felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
"Is that woman so good?" she asked.
"Yeah, very good."
"Could it be a celestial being descending to earth?"
"Not really, but she is certainly very pretty."
Sun Wei twitched the corners of her mouth.
"No matter how beautiful she is, I must meet her." Sun Wei asked, "When does the prince plan to let her come to see me?"
"It won't be long, ma'am, why don't you be patient and wait?"
Wait, wait! She just had no patience for this matter.
"Your Highness, I don't need to worry about your marriage anymore, right?"
"But we can't just ignore it. Without my wife, this marriage won't happen."
"How should I manage it?"
"I will tell my wife then."
Sun Wei: “…”
She suddenly felt tired and didn't even have the energy to get angry.
After a moment's silence, she said, "Sir, I'm tired and want to rest for a while. You and A-Qiao can have your meal first."
Sima Jun was silent for a moment, then said, "I've upset Madam today, and I apologize. Madam, why don't you think positively? This might turn out to be a good thing."
Sun Wei lay on the couch with her back facing up, just wanting him to get out.
"I'm asleep, please go, my lord."
The person outside the door stood silently for a long time before the footsteps gradually faded away.
The conversation just now came back to my mind.
She had never heard Sima Jun say such words, not even in her two lifetimes.
Beautiful appearance?
In his previous life, when had he ever described another woman in such a literary way?
Sun Wei found herself feeling sour.
I didn't expect that I had never been jealous of Wang Xuanji, but I was jealous of this inexplicable stranger?
She tossed and turned, sighing deeply.
Perhaps it was because she never knew that someone could easily gain Sima Jun's unconditional love.
Wang Xuanji had no chance. In her previous life, she had to wait until the end of her life before she could get any news. And this woman...
Sun Wei sighed again.
Soon, Aju came back, tiptoed into the house, and covered her with a thin mattress.
She drifted between sleep and wakefulness. In the fire of Xunyang City, Sima Jun suddenly came back to life in her arms, handed her a divorce letter, and said, "I have a woman I love. You can go now."
She suddenly opened her eyes and it was already dark.
"Is the princess awake?" A'ru said, "Young Master Sun has arrived and has been waiting outside the door for a long time."
Sun Wei said "hmm", got up, washed up, and then went out.
Sun Qiao sat on the porch, holding a box of cakes. He didn't know how long he sat there, but the box was only half empty.
"This cake is mine, right?" she asked coldly.
Sun Qiao chuckled twice and said with an apologetic smile, "The prince was afraid that the princess would faint from anger. Now it seems that she is still fussy about it. It's all right now."
"You came here just for this?" Sun Wei said, "Put down the cakes and go back to do your homework."
Sun Qiao quickly said, "Master said he had to go out for a while, and asked me to come and inform the princess and accompany her for dinner."
Going out?
Sun Wei looked up at the sky.
She asked Aju to serve the meal, and then sat in the corridor with Sun Qiao.
"Sister, do you want to ask where the master has gone?" Sun Qiao asked.
Sun Wei really didn't want to ask, but eventually her reason forced her to ask: "Where did you go?"
"I don't know." Sun Qiao chuckled.
Seeing that Sun Wei was about to get angry again, Sun Qiao put away his smile and said honestly, "I really don't know. I only know that Sima Deng suddenly returned home, and Master had a few words with him. Then he told me to stay with my sister for the next few days and not leave the palace."
Sun Wei couldn't help but frown.
Deng Lian did go out often, sometimes for several days at a time.
I don’t know what happened this time.
"Did you hear what they said?"
Sun Qiao shook his head. "Master and Sima Deng were talking, and they froze me where I was. I didn't dare take a single step forward."
"Then the prince said, will you come back tonight?"
"I haven't said that," Sun Qiao said, "but from what Master said, it seems he won't be coming back."
As he spoke, he handed Sun Wei a piece of jujube cake and asked, "Sister, is Master in danger?"
Seeing Sun Qiao's worried look, Sun Wei immediately acted nonchalant. "What danger could there be? He's always like this, impulsive and elusive. You'll understand after spending time with him."
Sun Qiao nodded and asked curiously, "Sister, you must know Master very well. By the way, why did Master provoke Sister today?"
Sun Wei glanced at him and asked, "How do you know he provoked me?"
"I guessed," Sun Qiao said as he ate. "I was studying with Master in the study this afternoon. Master didn't see anyone. He just looked for Attendant Cao twice to ask if my sister was awake. He seemed quite guilty."
Sun Wei snorted coldly.
It sounds like he has a conscience, but this conscience is worthless in the face of the phrase "close the government door".
Sun Qiao glanced at her and asked, "How is the relationship between my sister and Master?"
"Didn't you see it?" Sun Wei said calmly, "Do you think it's good?"
Sun Qiao thought for a moment, a worried look on his face as he whispered, "If one day the prince discovers my identity, he won't forgive me either, right?"
"That's right, so you must not reveal your true identity."
Sun Qiao wondered, "I recently remembered something. If the Crown Prince hadn't discovered my sister's identity, then he wouldn't have known about our relationship. Why did he keep asking me for information about her?"
"What information do you want to find out? When?" Sun Wei asked.
"Last year, before I went to the martial arts competition, I met the prince a few times. I remember one time, he asked me if I was the only son in the family. I told him I had an older sister. He then asked a lot about my sister's past and her relationship with Master Yu."
Sun Wei was startled, somewhat incredulous: "You met the prince before the competition?"
