Yuqing rarely showed her emotions like this. She had to hide it for her brother and sister-in-law before, so she didn't dare to show a miserable expression in front of Wei An, for fear that Wei An would notice. But now that Wei An knew, she couldn't bear it anymore. Seeing Wei An reaching out to touch her head like a child, she cried even more aggrievedly: "Miss, I know they are not good. They clearly knew that I agreed with this marriage in my heart and that I liked Han Bo, but for their own selfish interests, they wanted to embezzle my dowry, so they deliberately didn't let me marry..."
It was because he knew everything in his heart that he felt even more miserable. Yuqing sobbed like a trapped animal, "But I have no choice. They are my brother and sister-in-law. My parents would rather starve to death than save a bite of food for them. I have been like this since I was a child, until I was sold into the mansion when I was ten years old... I can't disobey him, I can't watch him die, so I can only listen to him..."
Still like this, Yuqing's brother in past and present lives could not change his abominable appearance. Wei An touched Yuqing's head, sighed, and asked her: "So if you say so, you definitely don't want me to punish them severely for this matter, so you kept it from me, right?"
Yuqing nodded without hesitation: "I also know that the girl loves me and will definitely make the decision for me. If you know about this, I will beg you to pay off his gambling debts, but I can't do this... It's true that I owe him, but you don't owe us. You have been good enough to us. Over the years, I have taken a lot of things and money home. Lan He's family used her reward money and silver to buy her a whole set of furniture... I can't say that what I took back was more than hers, but it was not much less. They all squandered it all. I know they are bottomless pits and can't be filled. I don't want them to pollute the girl's ears, so..."
Wei An sighed: "So you want to put yourself in a difficult position, not get married, and not embarrass me. You want to take your dowry back to fill their hole? And then let them sell you to someone else?"
Yuqing lowered her head, feeling a little uneasy, but she had nothing to hide beside Wei An. She held Wei An's hand and said softly, "I am a hopeless person. Even if you take care of me, you can't take care of my useless brother for the rest of my life. No matter what, I will do what I should do. I can't control what he does after he spends the money from selling my body."
This was just a fit of anger. Wei An laughed and felt a little happier in her heart. No matter what, compared with Bao Ge'er's life and death, all other things seemed too easy. Seeing Yu Qing looking up at her in surprise, she said, "Silly girl, since you said that, I naturally can't really do anything to him, but he can't interfere in your marriage. I will ask Lin Yue to deal with the gambling debts. After dealing with this matter, I will ask Lin Yue to take him somewhere else, to the manor, where my father's people can watch him and let him cultivate himself there. Let's see if he will change in a few years. If he really changes, let him come back. If he can't change, it's better to live his whole life in the manor than to gamble everywhere and maybe die here, right?"
Yuqing didn't expect Wei An to say that. She called her "girl" and was so excited that she couldn't speak: "Girl, I really... I really don't know how to thank you..."
"Okay." Wei An let out a long sigh: "You are the person I trust the most. I have said it many times. I look at you and Lan He the same. Although your brother and sister-in-law are a bit hateful in this matter...but you are right, they are your relatives after all. I will not do anything to them, but I will not let them destroy you. You just stay by my side peacefully. As for marriage, if you really like Han Bo, then don't miss it. Han Bo is really an infatuated person. If he fails to marry you, he is unwilling to marry anyone else. His uncle and aunt have been forcing him, and he said that he wants to do something big with Shen Chen before talking about getting married..."
Yuqing's face flushed, she looked at Wei An with embarrassment and lowered her head, calling him "girl" in a low voice. But her voice was full of joy. No matter what, this matter had always been a heavy stone on her heart, making her unable to breathe for a moment. She was almost sad to death because of this matter these days. She had also thought about it. Anyway, this was all she could do. After paying off her brother's gambling debts, she would commit suicide at worst, and she would not listen to her brother and be sold out by him again.
Now that everything was settled and Wei An was here, she had nothing to fear and relaxed. But after a while, she remembered how Wei An looked when he came back, and she couldn't help but worry again: "Miss, you went over when you heard that the princess was coming, and you haven't been in a good mood since you came back... Did something happen?"
Thinking of Princess Zheng, Wei An's expression changed again. He let out a depressed breath and shook his head in a low voice: "Forget it, there's no point in talking about this matter. Don't bother me anymore. Go find Nanny first to see if she's back from her work. I'll get ready and go to the old lady's place for dinner first, and then go to the palace."
Yuqing knew that she had been wronged in the palace before. When she heard that she was going there again, she knew that there must be some reason why she had to go. She nodded cautiously and went out to find Nanny Wang.
Wei An rested his chin on his hand and looked at the desk in front of him, his face confused and a little helpless.
The princess cried so hard before... I don’t know how she is now. She really loves Baoger. If anything goes wrong with Baoger, she won’t be able to live...
Princess Zheng was indeed still crying. On her way back to the palace, Zhengyang Street was blocked for some reason, and her carriage could not move forward. As she had not eaten properly in the past two days, she was extremely weak. Seeing this, Mother Ding advised her to rest in a nearby restaurant first, eat something, and then rush back to the palace when the road was clear.
Princess Zheng was reluctant at first, but for some reason she suddenly changed her mind and finally entered the Lion Building on the street.
Mother Ding ordered a table full of dishes, but she only touched her lips slightly and couldn't eat anymore. She was thinking about the Princess Linjiang that she seemed to have seen just now... (To be continued)
