Shen Chen did not think there was anything wrong with Wei An's indifference. He whispered something to coax her. It was not easy to coax Wei An into not being so angry. Then he said to Yu Qing: "Han Bo asked me to give you something before..."
Wei An was a little nervous just now, fearing that Yuqing would find out something was wrong and that others would see her fooling around with Shen Chen just now. But after hearing what Shen Chen said, he felt more at ease and looked at Yuqing's reaction seriously.
She had mentioned this matter to Yuqing, but Yuqing had not expressed her opinion. She thought Yuqing was not willing to do so, so she did not say anything more. However, Hanbo was persistent, so she did not stop him.
Anyway, with Shen Chen keeping her in check and Yuqing serving her, there is no need to worry about any gossip that is unfavorable to Yuqing spreading.
Now that she heard that Hanbo had sent something, Yuqing's expression was strange for a moment. Wei An couldn't help but stop curiously, looking at Yuqing's reaction, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
Yuqing pursed her lips, blushed, lowered her head and replied in a low voice, "Yes."
Not looking very enthusiastic, Wei An turned his head and glanced at Shen Chen, the meaning in his eyes was very clear - if Yu Qing didn't want to, then the matter would be over, she would not allow it.
Shen Chen also knew this, and nodded at her almost imperceptibly. After thinking for a while, he said to Yuqing, "It doesn't matter. If you don't like it, just say so directly. From now on, I won't let Hanbo bother you anymore."
These two people had some contact in the past. One was a capable attendant of Shen Chen, and the other was a maid of Wei An. They had many opportunities to meet each other, so naturally these two had more opportunities to meet each other.
The two of them got along quite well before, and Hanbo had a lot of time to communicate with Yuqing.
Before, Shen Chen thought Yuqing would not refuse - Han Bo also said that he would ask his uncle and aunt to propose marriage in person and prepare for the wedding. Besides, Han Bo was also a capable person in front of him. If Yuqing married him, she would still be able to stay by Wei An's side and serve him as a housekeeper's wife. It was a good choice no matter how you looked at it.
But now looking at Yuqing's reaction, it seems that she is not very willing... ..
However, he also knew that such things could not be forced. Not to mention that Yuqing was Wei An's person, even if she was an ordinary maid, if she didn't like him, there was no point in forcing her.
Yuqing gritted her teeth, with some struggle in her eyes. She didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, she hummed softly and saluted Shen Chen: "Thank you, my lord. Please tell me that I don't need to worry about it."
Shen Chen agreed.
Wei An frowned slightly. She knew Yuqing very well. If Yuqing didn't like Hanbo, she wouldn't have delayed for so long. Before, she thought Yuqing didn't want to do it because she was reserved, but just now she saw that Yuqing was clearly very moved but also very cautious...
Yuqing's mood became obviously depressed. She accompanied Wei An to the door of Old Lady Wei and asked for leave in a low voice: "I feel a little unwell..."
Wei An agreed, pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and called Nanny Wang over, whispering to her: "Nanny, go check on Yuqing for me..."
Yuqing has always been the gentlest and most sensible one. Nanny Wang also likes her. When she heard that Hanbo’s marriage proposal was rejected, she couldn’t help but widen her eyes in surprise: "How could it be? Yuqing came to ask me before, saying when she could take care of the little girl. She wanted to ask for leave to go back home and ask her brother and sister-in-law for their opinions!"
This means that you were willing at the beginning.
Wei An felt something was wrong, and he hummed, "If that's the case, then we should ask carefully. Madam, just say it was me who said it. If you have any concerns that you can't speak up, just come and ask me..."
If you don't like it, that's fine, but if it's because of other concerns, then it's a pity.
Wei An really hopes that Yuqing Lanhe, who has been with her from the beginning, will live a good life.
Nanny Wang agreed, and Wei An walked towards Shen Chen with a look of anxiety: "Is my father in there?"
Shen Chen saw her unhappiness and worry, and tucked her messy hair behind her ears, and said softly: "She's here. I asked Aunt Hua, and she said she just came here not long ago and was chatting inside. What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with Yuqing?"
Wei An nodded solemnly. She had nothing to hide from Shen Chen. She said uneasily, "It seems that she changed her mind recently... I have been busy these days..." She coughed, "I was busy embroidering the dowry and went to the Xu family, so I didn't pay much attention to Yuqing's changes... No wonder Lan He came in to pay her respects and kowtow to me yesterday. She wasn't in a very good mood..."
Shen Chen seemed to be thinking about something, patted her shoulder and comforted her: "It's okay, she has been with you for so long, she should know your character. If there is anything difficult, Nanny Wang will ask in person, she will definitely tell you, don't worry too much."
Wei An hummed. She knew Yuqing's temper and she was different from Lan He. Lan He had parents who cared for her, but Yuqing's brother and sister-in-law were not so easy to get along with. However, she had asked the old lady to take Yuqing with her over the years. Yuqing was more radiant with her, so her brother and sister-in-law restrained themselves a lot...
Not knowing whether Yuqing was hesitant because of her brother and sister-in-law, she decided to go and ask Yuqing in person what he thought.
Even if she didn't marry Hanbo, she would find a suitable marriage for Yuqing and would never let her brother and sister-in-law interfere in her marriage.
The room was burning with sandalwood, and it was quiet and peaceful. King Zheng saw Wei An and Shen Chen coming in first, narrowed his eyes, and smiled at Wei An: "An An, come here quickly!"
Wei An couldn't help but smile, stepped forward to salute him, and called out to his father: "Father, you came here today, have you returned to the palace first?"
Prince Zheng shook his head nonchalantly, "No, I went to the palace to report the matter of the imperial mausoleum to His Majesty, and then I rushed here without stopping. My family has already asked Tian Bo to go back and report the news first."
As he spoke, he first asked Wei An: "I heard that you were bullied at the Xu family yesterday, and the Prince of Zhennan wrote me a letter. What happened?"
Wei An simply told him the story again: "The Xu family didn't get any benefits."
Of course Prince Zheng knew about this, otherwise he would have wanted to tear Shen Chen and the Xu family apart. Master Xu was certainly hateful, but Shen Chen was also a worrying person, as he had actually put Wei An in such a dangerous situation.
Shen Chen was glared at by him and felt guilty. He touched his nose and coughed, and had to explain why he let Wei An take the risk.
King Zheng was too lazy to listen and waved his hand: "Don't I know what you are thinking?" (To be continued)
