Su Wenzhou didn't care. "With Wei Xuebin and the Duke of Dingguo's brains, what good plans could they possibly come up with?"
"Don't forget, they also have Wei Xuelin."
If we were to name the most cunning person in the Wei family, it would undoubtedly be Wei Xuelin, but he didn't come today.
Because he was busy coaxing Xiao Yuerou.
When Xiao Yuerou saw the betrothal gifts that the Regent had given to Su Ruojin, she realized that Wei Xuelin's sixty-six loads of betrothal gifts were indeed insufficient in comparison, and she started to argue with him.
Wei Xuelin gently supported Xiao Yuerou's shoulder and coaxed her softly, "Yuerou, the betrothal gifts are just a formality. My heart is true to you. You are the only wife I will ever have in this life. There will be no other woman."
After saying that, Wei Xuelin took out a bracelet that looked a bit old from his pocket. "This is my mother's bracelet. Originally, this bracelet was only passed down to the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wei family. But since you have married into our Wei family as a princess, this bracelet should rightfully belong to you."
Xiao Yuerou felt a little better when she saw the bracelet in Wei Xuelin's hand. She reached out her hand and said, "Put it on for me."
"Okay." Wei Xuelin gently put the bracelet on Xiao Yuerou's wrist. Although the bracelet was not exactly translucent, it was still a full green jadeite bracelet.
Xiao Yuerou raised her hand, "Is it pretty?"
Wei Xuelin gently took her hand and said, "Yuerou looks best in anything."
Xiao Yuerou felt much better. "You said that I would be your only wife in this lifetime."
Wei Xuelin gently pulled her into his arms. "Of course, when have I ever lied to you?"
"That's more like it." Xiao Yuerou nestled against Wei Xuelin, a blissful expression on her face.
At first, the Empress Dowager wanted her to marry Wei Xuelin, which Xiao Yuerou was somewhat unwilling to do. However, she thought that if she did not marry him, she might be chosen by the Prince Qin. Between the Prince Qin and Wei Xuelin, she naturally chose the latter.
After the imperial decree was issued, Wei Xuelin often sent Xiao Yuerou all sorts of gifts, from jewelry that girls liked to small animals such as white rabbits and white cats. He would also frequently invite Xiao Yuerou out shopping and take her to eat various Beijing snacks.
Xiao Yuerou had always lived in the palace and no one had ever treated her like this before. In addition, Wei Xuelin was also good-looking, so Xiao Yuerou gradually developed feelings for this cousin.
At this moment, Xiao Yuerou did not see the impatience that flashed in Wei Xuelin's eyes behind her.
Xiao Yuerou was initially unwilling to marry, and Wei Xuelin certainly didn't want to bring a princess home.
The Empress Dowager's aunt initially thought that if Wei Xuelin married into the princess's household, he would be unable to enter officialdom, but if he married the princess, he would not be bound by this rule.
However, according to the laws of the Great Chu, a prince consort must obtain the princess's consent before he can take a concubine.
Given Xiao Yuerou's personality, how could she possibly agree to Wei Xuelin taking a concubine in the future? Wei Xuelin might as well just promise her a lifetime of love and a twin life to make her happy.
As for the rest, we'll talk about it later.
After receiving news of Wei Xuebin's defeat in the martial arts competition, Wei Xuelin crumpled up the note.
What a family the Su family is!

After the martial arts competition ended, Qin Wang went to the brothel.
"Yunniang, the Dark Alliance promised me that I would make Su Wenzhou unable to walk for three months, so why is he still able to participate in the martial arts competition?"
Faced with the King's questioning, Yunniang showed no fear, but smiled and slowly poured a cup of tea for him.
"Sir, is Su Wenzhou's leg injured?"
Qin Wang took the teacup without saying a word, just staring at Yun Niang.
Yunniang ignored her and continued to ask, "Is Su Wenzhou still able to walk?"
The loyalist remained silent.
“Since his leg is injured and he cannot walk now, how have we broken our contract? If General Su can walk again in less than three months, sir, it is not too late for you to come to us then.”
Qin Wang slammed his teacup on the table. "But he participated in the martial arts competition today and won first place!"
