Chapter 223 The Marriage is Off
When Wen Zimei heard these words, he actually felt a little sorry in his heart.
What happened back then was indeed for her personal revenge.
She was silent for a long time, then said, "Sister, you're right. I was selfish. When I asked you to help me, I didn't think about how dangerous it would be. Now that you want to deal with your own affairs, I, a beneficiary, actually objected..."
After she finished speaking, the expression on her face was also very haggard.
Concubine Wen came to her senses and felt a little guilty.
"Sister, that's not what I meant..."
"I know you were just too anxious to let go of your anger and didn't think about the consequences. As your sister, I should have helped you think about it instead of just trying to stop you and not explaining it to you clearly..."
Wen Zimei's tone was always calm and self-blaming.
This made Concubine Wen feel even more guilty, and her tone became even softer.
"Sister, I was impulsive just now and said the wrong thing. Please don't take it to heart..."
Wen Zimei sighed. She knew that it was easier to speak the truth when one was unintentional.
"It's okay, I've said it now. Between us sisters, why should we bother with these things..."
Concubine Wen looked at her sister's expression nervously, and only felt relieved after confirming that she was not really angry.
"I'll listen to my sister and put this matter aside for now. It's really inappropriate to deal with the princess at this time. If they find out, it will backfire on us in the future. Who knows who will benefit..."
Wen Zimei said: "Of course it's the mother and daughter who got the advantage. Your prince doesn't only have you as a concubine, nor does he have two sons, the Crown Prince and Ennan."
Concubine Wen instantly thought of Concubine Feng, who had been low-key in recent years, and her son Lu Enru.
He was under house arrest and had no chance to attend the previous palace banquet, so Concubine Feng and her son took advantage of it.
This incident was already a warning to her, but she had forgotten about it during this period.
After her sister reminded her, she finally remembered that she was afraid that she had made things difficult for others in her impulse.
"That Feng guy and his son who has no sense of existence, are they worthy of..."
Seeing that she had completely calmed down, Wen Zimei also knew who she should be wary of at the moment. Then she took Concubine Wen's hand, patted it gently, and continued, "Sister, you and I grew up together, how could I not understand your thoughts? But what happened back then was too complicated, and I was afraid that you would be exposed too early and get hurt. Now, you want justice for yourself, how can I stand by and watch? It's just that the time has not come yet. We have been planning for all these years, and every step cannot be wrong... Although Concubine Feng has always kept a low profile and has made no achievements, she raised her son safely. Do you still think she is not a threat and has no ability?"
Upon hearing this, Concubine Wen's eyes reddened slightly, and her voice choked with sobs: "Sister, I knew you were the best to me. I've been feeling aggrieved for so long, and I finally had a chance to vent my anger, so I lost my mind for a moment. Sister, don't worry, I will be careful in the future and will never give those people a chance."
Wen Zimei looked at her, his eyes full of tenderness and love. "Silly sister, why do we have to be so polite? Now the situation has changed. Although it was all because of Gu Ruanci, in fact, Prince Duan has never given up on the princess. Our previous estimates have deviated. We must reflect on ourselves and revise the plans we made before we can continue. During this period, you must not act rashly. Don't worry, I will help you find a solution."
After hearing this, Concubine Wen felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She held Wen Zimei's hand tightly, tears of gratitude streaming down her face: "Sister, thank you. With you by my side, I am not afraid of anything."
When Wen Zimei left Prince Duan's Mansion, there was no unhappiness on his face.
She had already left when the nanny beside Concubine Wen asked, "Your Majesty, the Madam wasn't angry just now, was she?"
Concubine Wen said confidently, "Anger is temporary. The relationship between us still allows for occasional misspoken words. In this world, there is no one closer than us."
"That's good. Madam has had a hard time these years."
The nanny then said this. She was afraid that at this time, Concubine Wen and Wen Zimei would also become estranged from their sisters.
Elsewhere, Wen Zimei got on the carriage for the return trip, and her personal nanny asked, "Madam, what the Concubine said just now must not be sincere. Please don't take it to heart..."
Wen Zimei said, "I have to take it to heart, but I'm not angry, but I feel a little guilty. Over the years, the affairs of the main branch of the Wen family have been left to her. I don't have a son, and I have no status in the Zhou family, so I have no say, and no one will invite me to many occasions. She can win the favor of Prince Duan and give birth to a pair of children. Everyone knows that those in the palace don't like her, but as her elder sister, not only did I not help her share any pressure, but because of my own selfishness, I let her take the risk of mobilizing those people to hunt down Ye Hesheng and her daughter... If she wasn't so tired now and her hope was beginning to fade, these words would definitely rot in her stomach... My younger sister is also a strong-willed person."
Upon hearing this, the nanny couldn't help but sigh, "Madam is right. The Concubine is indeed a strong-willed person. It hasn't been easy for her in Prince Duan's Mansion these years. However, Madam, there's no need to feel too guilty. Since what happened back then has already happened, there's no need to dwell on it. Besides, hasn't Gu Ruanci been successfully misled into thinking that it was the Ye family who did it?"
Wen Zimei nodded, a firm look in his eyes: "Yes, we were not wrong about what happened back then."
Wen Haiyue and others gathered at the Gu family today to visit Wu Yixuan.
The news of Wu Yixuan's pregnancy has not been announced to the public yet, but the Gu family has already worshipped her as a living ancestor.
The sisters were worried that she would be in danger if she went in and out, so they came to Gu's house to find her.
When Wen Haichao's marriage was mentioned, Wen Haiyue finally felt relieved.
"My brother's affairs have finally been settled. I've been having nightmares these past few days. I dreamed that Lu Wenxue became my sister-in-law, and she kept causing chaos in our Wen family... Now, they, who claim to be the main branch of the Wen family, have long been separated from us, the side branch that is not valued. Our whole family doesn't want to be tied to them anymore... They say that through this marriage, we can officially become the main branch of the Wen family, but who cares..."
Although Wen Haiyue has become much calmer than before, he is a martial artist after all, and he cannot hide his straightforward nature.
Wu Yixuan smiled and said, "Fortunately, your sister is already married. Otherwise, I'm really worried that Concubine Wen would think of asking her son to marry her again..."
Finally, Chen Suyue said, "Her sister is married, but doesn't she still have Haiyue? But even with all the turmoil, Prince Duan hasn't stepped forward to put pressure on the Wen family. He must have given up on this approach. Did you hear that the other day, Prince Duan's wife scolded him, but not only did he not lose his temper, he's been trying to beg for forgiveness these past few days..."
