Chapter 495: You kid, dare to snatch people from my second brother?

On the way, Yu Chongen ran into the old lady of Duke Xin who was out for a walk, so he could only patiently chat with her for a while before leaving. When he went to look for Wei Shuangyan again, she had already disappeared.

Yu Chongen could only return to his yard in a frustrated mood.

Yu Mingzhu was still there, and came up to ask with concern, "Second brother, have you talked it out with Miss Wei?"

Her eyes sparkled, and she seemed really worried about this.

Seeing Yu Mingzhu like this, Yu Chongen felt even more guilty: "Zhuzhu, she is just like that, don't take it to heart, go back and have a rest."

Yu Mingzhu paused for a moment and looked into Yu Chongen's arms: "...Second brother, that jade pendant..."

Only then did Yu Chong'en realize that the jade pendant that Wei Shuangyan had just pulled off Yu Mingzhu's waist was thrown into his arms and was now held in his hand.

Yu Chongen was stunned.

Yu Mingzhu was very considerate and blamed herself: "... Second brother, this is all my fault. I didn't know at the time that this was the jade pendant given to you by Miss Wei, otherwise, I would not have accepted it no matter what."

Yu Chongen immediately said, "What are you talking about? It's just a jade pendant. You and I are brother and sister, and what's mine is yours."

Just as Yu Mingzhu's eyes flashed with pride, she heard Yu Chongen hesitantly discussing with her: "Zhuzhu, I didn't know at the time that Yanyan valued this jade pendant so much. I have many more jade pendants in my warehouse, you can pick any one you like, but forget about this jade pendant..."

Yu Mingzhu's smile froze on her face.

She pursed her lips and smiled somewhat disappointedly: "Don't worry, second brother. I understand. I understand everything. Miss Wei is the future second sister-in-law. How can Mingzhu compare to her..."

After saying that, Yu Mingzhu left in a hurry, without looking back no matter how upset Chongen shouted behind her.

Jiao came to see Yu Chongen that night and poked Yu Chongen on the head as soon as she came up and asked, "How did you bully your sister again?"

Yu Chongen looked regretful and didn't know how to tell Jiao.

Although Jiao didn't say it openly, she actually had some opinions about Wei Shuangyan.

After all, Wei Shuangyan's fate is to bring disaster to her husband and his entire family.

Although the Taoist priest said that the curse can be solved by building a pagoda and worshipping it until the person is 20 years old...but who knows? What if it can't be solved by then?

However, it was the Prince's Mansion after all. Even though Wei Shuangyan had not yet been appointed as the county lord, Jiao couldn't say anything.

But they won't be as happy to see it come to pass as the Prince's Mansion.

Therefore, no matter how stupid Yu Chongen was, he would not tell Jiao that this matter was related to Wei Shuangyan. He just admitted that he had made Yu Mingzhu sad, and promised to accompany Jiao and Yu Mingzhu to the manor in the mountains to soak in the hot springs in the next few days.

Only then did Jiao stop.

…

The fact that Xingxing and Daxi Sipo saved Prince Jiping made Princess Jiping feel relieved about letting Xingxing enter the Prince's Mansion. Wei Zihang was so happy that he walked dizzy for two days in a row. Even when he went to Prince Ying's Mansion to play, he always had a silly smile on his face.

Crown Prince Wei Shiqing was also in Prince Ying's mansion. Seeing Wei Zihang's silly smile, he couldn't help but point at him and said, "…What's wrong with this kid? Did he secretly steal 1,000 taels of silver from us?"

Wei Zihang just chuckled: "Your Highness, you don't understand."

Prince Ying knew something about the inside story. He glanced at Wei Zihang and chuckled, "Your Highness, two days ago, Uncle Jiping went hunting in the mountains and fell off a cliff. Fortunately, he was rescued by Fusui Xiangjun and another old lady..."

When Wei Shiqing heard the words "Fusui Xiangjun", he perked up and said, "Oh", "Is this true?"

Wei Zihang nodded enthusiastically: "Yes, yes! That's what I said, is the title bestowed by His Majesty good? Fusui Xiangjun is really blessed! For example, it's cold and dangerous in the deep mountains. My father even broke his bones. If he hadn't met Fusui Xiangjun, he would have been in great danger!"

Everyone was filled with emotion. When all was said and done, Fusui Xiangjun was truly a legendary girl.

Wei Zihang was so happy that he blurted out, "My mother said that we are still young, and when Fusui Xiangjun is a year older, we will go to the Zhenxi General's Mansion to propose marriage."

Prince Ying's eyes widened.

……ah?

Wei Shiqing narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Um?

You kid, dare you snatch people from my second brother?

Wei Zihang was still a teenager, and he was always careless, so he didn't notice that the prince's expression had changed. He was still thinking happily: "...When sister Xingxing comes of age, I will marry her home."

Wei Shiqing sneered.

Prince Ying was sweating profusely, and his eyelids were almost cramping from blinking when he winked at Wei Zihang.

Ah Hang, Ah Hang, don’t say that I didn’t save you. You are blind, didn’t you see that our prince’s face has turned black?

Perhaps the Prince Ying’s inner prayers had worked, as Wei Zihang belatedly noticed that the Prince’s expression seemed to be a little off…

Wei Zihang was still a little confused: "...Your Highness?"

Did he say something wrong?

Wei Shiqing took a deep breath, but still couldn't help but shouted angrily: "How old is Fusui Xiangjun? You are planning to hit on her. How disgraceful!"

“Ah? Ah?…” Wei Zihang was stunned.

No, wait...

Prince Ying made a prompt decision, pressed Wei Zihang's head, and bowed to Wei Shiqing: "You little rascal, a girl as good as Fusui Xiangjun, not to mention that she is still young now, even if she is old enough, His Majesty will probably arrange a marriage for her! ... What are you thinking when you say these nonsense!"

Wei Zihang reacted confusedly: "Ah? That's it."

He quickly bowed to Wei Shiqing and said, "Your Highness, I was wrong."

Wei Shiqing looked at Wei Zihang coldly: "Today, we are the only brothers here, so you can stop talking so arrogantly. If you say these things outside and ruin the reputation of Lord Fusui, you will be held accountable!"

Wei Zihang quickly admitted his mistake: "Your Highness is right, I was too complacent! Your Highness, please rest assured that I will be careful with my words and actions from now on, and will never damage the reputation of Lord Fusui."

This looks decent.

Wei Shiqing had a sullen face and frightened Wei Zihang again before leaving in anger.

Prince Ying patted Wei Zihang on the shoulder and said, "Remember this, don't treat Fusui Xiangjun so frivolously in the future."

Wei Zihang really remembered it, and nodded repeatedly in shame: "My brothers taught me, I remember it all. I really won't dare to do it again in the future."

Prince Ying sighed, patted Wei Zihang on the shoulder, and changed the subject: "...Speaking of which, Qing'an is shouting that she wants to go to the hot springs. Go back and ask your second sister and your fourth sister, and ask them if they want to go to the mountains to soak in the hot springs together."

Wei Zihang agreed immediately.

Xingxing sent Yu Yongliu to the examination hall. After staying at home for two days, she accompanied Bai Xiaofeng and Su Rouer to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha. Then she packed her bags and planned to go to the mountains to stay with Da Xi Sipo for some time.
