Chapter 87 Zhao Lingmeng heard another scumbag
Wei Yunzhong said this, but he still openly inspected Zhao Lingmeng's body. Although she dressed modestly, the fabrics and jade pendants she wore were truly exceptional. He guessed they were part of her dowry from the Marquis of Wu'an. Wei Yunzhong felt a subtle sense of relief. Now he could go back and tell his father and grandfather not to worry about this ugly girl; she seemed to be doing well.
Although it was the first time Zhao Lingmeng had met this cousin who always contradicted her in the original owner's memories, she didn't find him annoying at all. It was obvious that this guy still cared about the original owner, otherwise he wouldn't have carefully examined her and her attendants the moment they met. And she had just said she wanted to kill him, and he hadn't refused.
"This must be because you saw it too late. I had a miserable life before." Zhao Lingmeng did not feel the slightest bit of shame for exposing her own shortcomings. Instead, she did it very smoothly.
"Is everything that's been said outside true?" Wei Yunzhong was incredulous. In his mind, this cousin's character had nothing to do with gentleness and forbearance. How could she be bullied like that?
"It's more precious than gold. I'm just losing my mind and wanting to make a good living after marriage, a story of a talented scholar and a beautiful woman!" Zhao Lingmeng thought this explanation was perfect. She couldn't say the original owner was a bully! After all, if you use someone's body, you still have to accept their kindness. And she didn't want to scold herself like that.
"Ugly girl, if you are stupid, just say it directly. There is no need to embellish it so much!" Wei Yunzhong bluntly exposed Zhao Lingmeng's embellishment.
When Zhao Lingmeng heard what her cousin said, she thought to herself that it was no wonder the original owner disliked him. With such low emotional intelligence, how could he have managed to get into the imperial court?
"Hua Kongque, you've been in the imperial court for these years, and your mouth is so poisonous, how come you haven't been beaten to death?"
After Zhao Lingmeng finished speaking, she did not forget to roll her eyes at Wei Yunzhong. What a vicious guy.
"That must be because I'm a good person! What else could it be?"
Wei Yunzhong felt that he was just that good. In fact, he wasn't so childish when interacting with others. It was just that when he was with this cousin, he didn't bother to pretend. The main reason was that they both knew each other's true colors, so there was no point in pretending.
Zhao Lingmeng didn't want to say anything and could only roll her eyes again to express her disgust.
"Ugly girl, don't say that your brother is not kind enough. If you need any help, just tell me. I will definitely not refuse any help I can give."
Wei Yunzhong didn't take Zhao Lingmeng's expression to heart, but since they were family, he wouldn't refuse to help. However, his words were not influential, so if he couldn't help, there was nothing he could do.
"Come on! Look at the people around me now, why do I still need you? By the time you remember me, the grass on my grave will be this tall." Zhao Lingmeng said and gestured with his hands.
Wei Yunzhong patted Zhao Lingmeng on the head with his fan. "Ugly girl, you have to be honest when you say this! It's because you always said you were doing well that we didn't get involved."
"Hua Kongque, do you know what crime it is to attack a princess? I am a princess now, a princess in name only." Zhao Lingmeng felt that the longer she stayed with this person, the more childish she became. Could this be the legendary contagious stupidity?
"Princess Funing, please don't argue with me. I just want to discipline my heartless sister." Wei Yunzhong wasn't afraid of Zhao Lingmeng. She had always been a bad-mouthed and soft-hearted girl. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so stubborn against her since she was little, and he didn't actually let Marquis Wu'an beat him up.
Zhao Lingmeng had been thinking of taunting her older cousin, who was so full of sarcasm. But just as she was about to speak, the waiter knocked on the door and served the food.
Zhao Lingmeng could only say speechlessly, "For the sake of delicious food, I'll let you go for now."
Wei Yunzhong also knew that he should stop while he was ahead, so he didn't say anything else and just gave Zhao Lingmeng a smug smile.
When the waiter had served the full table of dishes and was about to leave, Zhao Lingmeng ordered: "According to this standard, serve a table outside this private room as well!"
As soon as Zhao Lingmeng finished speaking, Wei Yunzhong tossed two taels of silver into the waiter's arms. The waiter happily went down to make the arrangements. He thought to himself, "What a generous person I've met today. In just a short while, I've already received four taels of silver in tips, which is equivalent to half a month's salary."
"Qiuyue, go to the outer room with Dongyuan and the others. You won't be serving here. When the food comes, you three can eat in the outer room."
Qiuyue knew that whatever the princess said was the truth, so she bowed to Zhao Lingmeng and Wei Yunzhong and left.
For a moment, Zhao Lingmeng and Wei Yunzhong were the only two people left in the box.
Zhao Lingmeng ignored Wei Yunzhong and started to taste the delicacies with her chopsticks. She thought the food at Delicious House was quite delicious. Although it didn't have as many varieties as the ones in her house, the cooking skills were still very good. Zhao Lingmeng felt that this was the legendary "specialization".
Wei Yunzhong had almost used it up just now, and now he was just helping Zhao Lingmeng use it from time to time.
Zhao Lingmeng looked at Wei Yunzhong, who seemed to be hesitant to speak. After she had almost finished eating, she slowly said, "Tell me! What's wrong with you?"
"That Wen Shicheng recently heard rumors that you were not doing well, so he often hangs around me. I want to remind you to be careful..." Wei Yunzhong looked at Zhao Lingmeng with a little worry. Now that she has become a princess, some self-important people have appeared again.
After hearing her cousin's words, Zhao Lingmeng pondered who Wen Shicheng was. She searched the original owner's memories for a long time before finally finding him. He and the original owner had grown up together, the second eldest son of the Wenyuan Marquis family. And yet, after the emperor's attitude was revealed, he had the nerve to ask the original owner to become his concubine. Not only did the original owner, but Zhao Lingmeng herself, feel disgusted.
Marquis Wu'an was so angry that he beat Wen Shicheng so hard that he couldn't get out of bed. If Marquis Wenyuan hadn't arrived quickly, Marquis Wu'an would have crippled him on the spot.
Thinking of this, Zhao Lingmeng was so angry that she gnashed her teeth: "He'd better not say anything in front of me, otherwise I will just cripple his legs. For a scumbag like him, come on if you're not afraid of death."
"Ugly girl, if you do this, will your uncle be able to clean up the mess?" Wei Yunzhong also felt disgusted with this guy. Unfortunately, this guy was born into a good family and he couldn't afford to offend him. But from the ugly girl's tone, he knew she was not afraid. He still wanted to remind her not to make a big fuss. If Wu'an Hou couldn't protect her by then, it would be too late.
Zhao Lingmeng looked at Wei Yunzhong's worried eyes, and her smile became more sincere. "Don't worry! I am a princess now, a princess with both name and power. Even Marquis Wenyuan doesn't dare to act presumptuously in front of me, so dealing with him is nothing."
"Hehe, uncle is really a role model for us officials. If I can become like uncle in this life, I will die without regrets!" Wei Chengzhong thought it was the credit of Marquis Wu'an, and he admired him very much.
Zhao Lingmeng did not explain much when he saw this, and tacitly accepted his cousin's misunderstanding.
