Chapter 337 True Meaning (2)
The woman was wearing beautiful clothes and was chasing a peacock.
Sun Wei was stunned.
My pounding heart was suddenly poured with a bucket of cold water and immediately cooled down.
"Why you?" she asked.
Lu Xian stopped and saw Sun Wei, then ran over happily.
"Why did you come just now?" She held Sun Wei's hand affectionately, "I thought you were being taken away for questioning."
Sun Wei looked at her, his mind racing.
The person Sima Jun likes...could it be Lu Xian?
She hurriedly turned around and asked the steward, "Is there anyone else living in Tang Garden?"
The steward replied respectfully: "Apart from this lady, there is only Mr. Lu."
Sun Wei was stunned for a moment.
She asked everyone to stay, and she took Lu Xian and walked quickly into the nearby pavilion.
"Why are you here?" Sun Wei closed the door and asked anxiously.
Lu Xian was stunned for a moment, then laughed dryly: "Didn't the prince tell you?"
——
Sun Wei sat in the small pavilion, listening to Lu Xian talking about what she had seen and heard, and felt that she was indeed a fool.
"...I really thought you knew my difficulties and called me to Jiankang to enjoy a good life. I never thought that it was actually the prince who did it. You don't know that when I first arrived in Tangyuan and met him, I lost my courage when I saw his terrifying appearance."
Sun Wei knew how intimidating Sima Jun could be, but she was concerned about something else: "Are you saying that Yin Wen took my letter to Chen Mao and took you away from him?"
Lu Xian nodded. "I've been here for a long time and haven't seen you yet, so I guessed you didn't know I was here. So, that handwritten letter, I guess it was a forgery?"
"What about Chen Mao?"
"And your other handwritten letter is for him, asking him to purchase goods from the foreign countries in the south..."
Sun Wei gritted her teeth: "How could he do this?"
Lu Xian was still a little frightened and said, "The prince is really scary. He did it silently. If he hadn't wanted to let you go, you wouldn't even know how you died."
This is the truth.
Fortunately, she had worked diligently to provide advice to Sima Jun over the past two years and won his appreciation.
Otherwise, based on her understanding of Sima Jun, he hated being plotted against and deceived the most.
Sun Wei asked again: "Does the prince often come to talk to you these days?"
Lu Xian shook her head: "Not often, only two or three times."
"What did he say to you?"
"I was just asking you about our past. And the most recent time, when he sent my father back home, he asked me to take care of him."
That’s all?
"Then he..." Sun Wei pondered for a moment and asked, "What do you think of the prince's treatment of you?"
"To me?" Lu Xian curled her lips. "He's mean and stingy. He's the son of a prince, so he must have a lot of property and houses. But I wanted to borrow a house to live in, and he refused to give it to me. After all, I'm his stepmother..."
Sun Wei didn't want to discuss the land and property with her, so he continued, "Did the prince ever say anything strange to you?"
Lu Xian blinked: "What do you mean by strange words?"
"Just... asking about your marriage."
"Marriage? Could it be that I was tricked into getting married earlier?"
"It's not, it's just..." Sun Wei held it in for a long time, but finally gave up.
Lu Xian wasn't one to keep secrets. Judging from her words, she and Sima Jun didn't seem to have a close relationship, let alone any talk of marriage.
Sun Wei looked at her and felt as if something had fallen in his heart.
"Forget it," she said perfunctorily, "I was worried that the prince would harm you. Now it seems that I was too worried."
Lu Xian thought for a moment and said, "You and I are accomplices... No, you are the mastermind, and I am an accomplice. If he were to investigate, there would be no reason for him to let you go alone."
"What mastermind or accomplice? You absolutely cannot admit that." Sun Wei said angrily, "Since he won't pursue the matter, the matter is over. You'd better not accuse yourself of anything."
Lu Xian chuckled and said, "I understand."
Seeing her so heartless, Sun Wei felt quite helpless.
Today was a complete failure.
There is no trace of a woman who is a hundred times stronger than Wang Xuanji.
She should have known long ago that Sima Jun had fabricated a woman out of thin air to prevent his marriage with Wang Xuanji.
She actually spent several days worrying about a non-existent woman. She was like a fool!
She thought that she should go confront Sima Jun and see how Sima Jun would argue.
"By the way," Lu Xian continued, "Have you seen my father? He is also recuperating in Tang Garden now."
"No," Sun Wei said, "Have you heard about your father's meeting with the Crown Prince?"
"The prince told me when he sent father here." Lu Xian sighed, "I didn't expect father to be so crazy that he almost killed you."
Sun Wei asked, "How is he now?"
"He's still talking nonsense all day long. He hasn't gotten better even after taking medicine. I wonder if he'll ever recover. Do you want to go see him?"
Sun Wei didn't have that in mind. She shook her head and said, "Of course I will, but I have other things to do right now. I'll visit your father another day."
After she said that, she said goodbye to Lu Xian and hurried back home.
Sima Jun was teaching Sun Qiao calligraphy in the study. He looked not surprised at all when he saw her hurried back.
He returned the manuscript to Sun Qiao and said, "Madam has already revised a lot for you. Copy what I just said three times again, carefully. If you still make mistakes, copy it a hundred times."
Sun Qiao had a sad face and looked at Sun Wei innocently.
"Go back to your room," Sun Wei said, "I have something to say to the prince."
Sun Qiao could sense her displeasure from her tone, so he quickly bowed and returned to the west wing.
Sima Jun moved the scroll off the table and asked, "Madam, do you have anything to say?"
Sun Wei sat down without hesitation where Sun Qiao had just sat, facing him across the table.
"I've been to Tang Garden. That woman was actually Lu Xian?"
"Exactly."
He answered calmly with a red face and a steady heart.
"Does the prince like Lu Xian?" Sun Wei asked directly.
Sima Jun looked at her and said, "Madam, don't you think this is absurd?"
Sun Wei glared at him: "If it's not the case, why don't you just say it directly, Prince?"
Sima Jun said, "Madam, have you forgotten that I told you that woman has nothing to do with you? You just don't believe it."
Sun Wei sneered, "So which woman is this related to? The prince hasn't said anything. Isn't he allowing me to misunderstand?"
"Madam's misunderstanding is not without benefits. Madam has been asking me who I would marry if not Wang Xuanji. Lu Xian just happened to be a barrier for me.
"So, the prince was lying when he said he had someone he loved."
"No, there is indeed someone I like."
"Who is it?"
Sima Jun still looked at her.
"Madam knows exactly who I see every day and how many women there are."
Sun Wei was a little impatient: "Who is it?"
"Hasn't Madam ever doubted herself?"
