The Third Lady might have originally had a glimmer of hope in her heart. She always hoped that the man would come to the Marquis' Mansion respectfully to plead for mercy, apologize to Wei Yuyou, and bring Wei Yuyou back to the Mansion to beg Old Madam Wei. After all, it was a good marriage. If it ended, it would be easy to say, but there would be countless difficulties in the future, not to mention that the two of them had a child.
But the man's behavior was so ruthless that it was beyond her expectations and destroyed her last bit of hope. She fainted immediately and never got back ill.
The Second Madam went to take care of her for several days, but the Third Madam was actually mostly worried. When the people sent to the man's house came back and said that there was still no solution, her illness became even worse. Wei An's face was cold, and he showed some rare hostility. He stared at Shen Chen with a pair of phoenix eyes, and his voice was like a taut string: "So I came here this time because of this matter. This is such a mess. I thought of many ways, but it's strange that water can't be poured into their house."
It's not that the Wei family doesn't have any means, but when it comes to such matters as the marriage of their children, they hurt the enemy by a thousand and hurt themselves by eight hundred. To put it bluntly, it's because they are trying to catch a mouse but are worried about the jade bottle.
Seeing her mood suddenly drop, Shen Chen thought that she was hurt by Wei Yuyou's things, so he quickly agreed: "Don't worry, after all, that kid is just relying on saying that this is a family matter, so he can stop you from going to see people. I will find a way to make this matter become an outside matter."
He didn't know why, but the longer he spent with Wei An, the more he loved her. He even took Wei An's scolding as a compliment.
Everything else is easy to say, but he really can't bear to see Wei An cry. He always feels that when she cries, his heart is like a pot of mixed feelings overturned, and he feels extremely uncomfortable.
Wei An pursed his lips. Although he had put on lip balm when he came out, his lips still felt dry and his throat was on fire. After a while, he suddenly sighed: "In the first few years, I remember that Fifth Sister lived a comfortable life. People can really change so quickly."
If that person had always been a bad person, that would be fine, but the terrifying thing is that he used to look honest and simple, and was attentive, considerate and caring towards Wei Yuyou, but in just a few short years, he had turned into this person, revealing a cannibalistic face.
Wei An suddenly felt a little discouraged.
I don’t know if it’s because Shen Chen mentioned Qingshuang so much before. Although he spoke frankly without hiding anything, Wei An went over it in his mind and always felt that someone who would change color when mentioned by Shen Chen was not that simple.
The girl she saw at the stall last time...
She rubbed her brows and said solemnly to Shen Chen: "Shen Chen, I want to talk to you."
Shen Chen realized something was wrong, raised his eyes and looked at her, also with a serious expression: "You say."
"If you don't like me anymore in the future, you must tell me the truth." Wei An looked at him seriously, raised his hand to stop him from saying anything, and said slowly: "I don't mean to doubt your feelings, but we also know that people's preferences are the easiest to change. A beautiful wife and concubines are probably the dream of all men in this world. I know you are different now, but I can't guarantee that you will always be different, so I want to tell you something and ask you to promise me that if there is such a day, please tell me."
She will find another way out, even divorce. If divorce is not possible, then they will live their own lives far away from each other.
When she was not attracted to Shen Chen, she also thought about getting married, how to keep her husband's heart, how to manage concubines and maids, and how to maintain her status.
But if the candidate was Shen Chen, she suddenly felt disgusted at the thought of using these methods.
It's not that she can't calculate, but after giving her heart, she has to be cautious and calculating to maintain the relationship after being abandoned. Just thinking about it makes her feel pathetic, so she can't accept it at all.
Shen Chen was stunned by what she said, as if he didn't expect her to say such a thing. He stared at her carefully for a long time, and saw that her eyes were bright and her beautiful eyes were misty. The anger of not being trusted in his heart disappeared all at once - he saw that Wei An was crying.
She has always been so stubborn. No matter how sad she is in her heart, she will never admit defeat. Even when she wants to cry, her eyes will just turn red and she won't let a single tear fall out.
He also sighed and smiled bitterly: "That day won't come." He held Wei An's hand. He had expressed his feelings countless times. No matter how many promises he made, they were just empty words. He calmed himself down and said: "Whether you believe it or not, I won't change my mind."
Wei An nodded, and looked like he believed it, but he didn't say anything else. He changed the subject: "Then I'll have to trouble you with Fifth Sister's matter. Our family... can't intervene."
The third master is an official appointed by the court, so he can't risk his face by going to his son-in-law's house and saying anything. The third wife has been there before, but unfortunately she was stopped and turned back. The saying "a daughter who is married off is like water spilled" blocked her way.
It seems that it is impossible to make those people bow their heads by taking the right path, so the only option is to let someone as powerful as Shen Chen come forward to deal with them.
Shen Chen wanted to say a few more words, but seeing Wei An listless and with his head down, looking like he couldn't listen, he knew it was useless to say these words at this time, so he agreed: "Don't worry, I know everything."
After they left the house, Han Bo came up to him and talked about Qing Shuang again. He became a little impatient. After thinking for a while, he said, "Let her stay in the mansion first. Find her an easy job. We can talk about it later."
Then we will see whether she is willing to follow Wei An. If she is, that would be even better.
Han Bo saw that he looked unhappy and seemed to be in a bad mood, so he boldly asked him, "Is the princess angry?"
Shen Chen felt it was a bit strange. He hadn't told Wei An that he was angry, and Han Bo hadn't followed him in to serve him, so how could he know that Wei An was angry? He couldn't help but ask curiously, "How did you know?"
Han Bo was a little proud, but he also felt that his master was a little unreasonable, so he couldn't help but sigh: "Why are you so stupid? What do people say is the most taboo for a bride? Of course, the most taboo thing is the maids and concubines who serve the husband closely before the marriage. You even came to tell the princess that you rescued a maid and brought her back home. It would be really strange if the princess was not angry."
Shen Chen raised his hand and hit him with a chestnut. He bent over in pain and said, "Nonsense!" (To be continued)
