Chapter 331: Confession (3)
This answer was not surprising at all. Sun Wei swore in her heart that she would never ask again.
"I understand." Sun Wei said.
I have said everything I need to say, but the rain shows no sign of stopping.
After the identity issue was exposed, Sun Wei suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and didn't know what to say for a moment.
She lowered her head and brushed the folds of her dress. She could sense from the corner of her eye that Sima Jun was looking at her.
That look seemed to have deep meaning.
She recalled her past life, when she had first met Sima Jun. Back then, she had just arrived in the capital, and Sima Jun was already a powerful prince. Back then, Sima Jun often looked at her with this incomprehensible look.
Sima Jun rarely shared his thoughts with outsiders, and since he spoke so little, it was difficult to get a glimpse of his thoughts.
Sun Wei didn't really understand what he was thinking. That gaze always made her feel very uncomfortable. She dared not move and even breathed carefully.
She couldn't help but stand up and said, "I'll go back first."
"I advise Madam not to be anxious. The rain is pouring down, and it's still quite a distance to Wufeng Courtyard. If Madam gets sick from the rain, it won't help the situation."
As he spoke, he calmly sat down on the stone pier in the pavilion.
The stone pillar was very close to Sun Wei. She looked at him and froze for a moment.
Sima Jun saw that Sun Wei was still standing and said calmly, "Why, Madam, are you feeling guilty and don't even dare to sit down?"
Sun Wei was stunned for a moment, then said, "Why would I dare to do that? I have a clear conscience. I just got tired of waiting."
After saying this, as if to prove herself, she secretly made up her mind and simply sat down.
After a moment, Sima Jun said, "Madam, you've kept it a secret for so long, why are you confessing to me now?"
Sun Wei pursed her lips and didn't intend to answer.
"Who else knows about this?" she asked after a moment.
"Inside the palace, only Deng Lian and Yin Wen knew about it. Outside the palace, only Yu Yi knew about it."
Sun Wei didn't expect that Deng Lian and Yin Wen both knew about it, but she was completely unaware of it.
She had never realized in her previous life that they were all acting geniuses.
"The prince has trained me so well that I didn't even notice it at all," she said.
"Madam has done a lot for the palace. They see it and naturally respect her. As long as I don't pursue it, they will treat her as they have in the past." Sima Jun said, "The same goes for everyone else. Everyone in the palace has long regarded Madam as the mistress. Although Madam has committed a crime, since her conscience is clear, there is no need to feel sad."
Sun Wei's heart moved, and she immediately retorted: "I am not a thief."
Sima Jun asked lazily, "Isn't it?"
Although Sun Wei was a little short of breath, she did not give in: "I did do something wrong, but if you want to accuse me of being a thief, I think it is worth discussing."
"So, Madam, you really don't feel guilty?"
"The prince also said that I have done many things, so why should I feel guilty?"
"Then why does Madam not even dare to look at me?"
Sun Wei was speechless for a moment and raised his eyes.
The two looked at each other. The light in the pavilion was dim, but Sima Jun's eyes were still bright.
Sun Wei couldn't help but straighten his back and sit up straight.
It has to be said that after being provoked by Sima Jun, Sun Wei felt that he had grown a hundred or eighty times braver and had the right to be a thief.
Outside the bamboo curtain, the smell of heavy rain was brought in by the wind.
Sima Jun smelled a faint fragrance from Sun Wei.
Glancing sideways, I saw the pearl pendant swaying gently on her fair neck, and her earlobes were a light pink under the halo.
Sun Wei thought he was going to have another verbal battle with her, and was thinking about how to respond, but she found that he suddenly stood up.
"It's getting late. Madam, please wait here. I'll send someone to pick you up."
After he said that, he lifted the curtain and walked into the rain without looking back.
Sun Wei looked at his back, stunned for a moment.
Looking at the sky outside, it's still early...
——
Sun Wei didn't have to wait too long before Aju arrived.
"It's raining so hard, Prince, why do you leave Madam alone in the pavilion?" She complained as she walked, holding an umbrella.
Sun Wei didn't say anything, but she thought to herself that it would be better if he left.
"I just asked you to send Young Master Sun back to the west wing. Have you sent him back?" Sun Wei asked.
"No," A'ru said. "I wanted to send him back, but when he arrived at the gate of Wufeng Courtyard, he said he had something to tell the princess, and he had to say it today. He asked if he could go into Wufeng Courtyard to wait for the princess. I originally refused and urged him to go back to his homework, but I couldn't stand Master Sun's nagging temper. I couldn't force him to go back, so I had to let him go into Wufeng Courtyard. Now he is waiting for the princess in the front hall, and the princess had to come out personally to send him back."
Sun Wei knew his brother's temper, so he laughed dryly and said, "It's hard for you."
When Sun Qiao saw Sun Wei, he came forward happily, holding the fishing rod given by Yu Yi in his hand.
Aju said she was going to the kitchen to get some snacks and turned away.
Sun Wei asked Sun Qiao to sit down in the hall and asked him, "Do you like that fishing rod so much?"
"I like it, but Master doesn't seem to like it." Sun Qiao put the fishing rod aside, blinked, and asked, "Sister, does Master have a grudge against Master Yu?"
Sun Wei said, "Don't talk nonsense. The Crown Prince and Master Yu were classmates when they were young, so they are old acquaintances. How can there be any enmity?"
"Master, are you afraid I'll switch to another sect? Sister, please tell Master for me that although I respect Master Yu, I still like Master and will never change my sect."
Sun Wei looked at him helplessly and asked, "You stayed here just to tell me about this?"
"Of course not," Sun Qiao sat next to Sun Wei and asked, "Sister suddenly asked A Ru to send me to Master Yu. Did something happen?"
Sun Wei put on a calm face and said, "You're being overly suspicious again. I just need to go to the palace and don't know when I'll be back. The prince is not at home. There are strangers here, and I'm afraid you won't feel comfortable, so I sent you to Master Yu's house and asked him to watch you."
Sun Qiao said, "I knew my sister would give me a perfunctory answer. I don't know what happened, but Aju's expression is undeniable. I know it must be something important, but there's nothing I can do to help."
He said, holding Sun Wei's hand: "Sister, we are about to leave here, please don't get into any trouble, okay?"
Sun smiled and patted his hand, saying, "When did you become so nagging? I will cherish my life."
Sun Qiao seemed relieved and asked, "Just now, Attendant Cao told me that the Wang family sent me a letter saying that Wang Xu wants to invite me to go boating on the lake tomorrow. Should I go?"
Wang Xu?
Sun Wei seemed to be thinking about something.
"Sister, can I go?" Sun Qiao asked again.
Sun Wei said, "Why are you asking me about this? You should ask the prince."
"I've asked, but the prince said that my sister is the mistress of the mansion, and that I should ask my sister about matters concerning food, clothing, housing and transportation."
Sun Wei thought for a moment and said, "Didn't you just complain that you couldn't help me? Now I have a favor that I need your help with."
Sun Qiao's eyes lit up and he asked, "What can I do for you? Tell me quickly, sister."
