Princess Changning never liked He'an Courtyard in the past, and she still doesn't like it now.
But because she was happy, she felt that He'an Courtyard had become more pleasing to the eye. So much so that when she entered the gate of He'an Courtyard and saw people like Aunt Hua, whom she usually disliked, she still had a smile on her face and was extremely kind.
However, Mrs. Wei was not as happy as her.
Ever since she learned about Wei An's life experience, she has felt mixed feelings of sadness and joy.
She was happy that Mingyu had a child, but she also felt guilty that she had not given Wei An any protection in the past. She almost fell seriously ill recently. Fortunately, she knew it was not too late.
Fortunately, Wei An is still young, so she has plenty of time to accompany her as she grows up.
That was why she was able to hold on. Now when she heard that Zhuang Feng was coming, she immediately frowned, her heart full of impatience. At this point, she had no good impression of Zhuang Feng in the first place, and now she disliked him even more, and was indifferent to him when she saw him.
However, Zhuang Feng was no longer a mediocre person. He kept his head down and waited for a long time before Princess Changning and Wei An came.
When he saw Princess Changning, he could still hold back and saluted with a blank expression. But when he saw Wei An, he couldn't hold back and a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes.
He never felt that he was wrong. Even if he was wrong, he would not have ended up like this.
Mother said that all this was thanks to Wei An.
He thought so too.
The atmosphere became lively when Princess Changning arrived. She pulled Zhuang Feng to pay respect to the old lady again and said, "This child is also very anxious. He came back from a long distance. I heard that his injuries are not fully healed yet, but he came to see An An in such a hurry."
Since everyone already knows the truth, there is no need to maintain harmony on that level. Princess Changning looked at Old Lady Wei and said, "You also know that children have deep friendships. An'an also grew up with Feng'er."
In the past, Princess Changning would not have said such words.
Even if it was the worst, Princess Changning was unwilling to let Wei An get away with it.
But times have changed now.
King Zheng already knew Wei An's true background. Since he didn't make a fuss about it and yet he came to the Wei family, it was obvious what his intention was.
In order to prevent Wei An from being recognized and living a good life, Princess Changning would do anything.
Zhuang Feng and Princess Zhennan have both blamed Wei An for their sufferings, and Wei An will not have a good life even if she marries him.
Zhuang Feng is disabled and cannot be an official, so he will have to live his whole life at the mercy of others. She wants Wei An to have a taste of what it feels like to bow his head, and also wants Wei An to experience the sorrow of a poor couple.
Will King Zheng help me then
King Zheng also has bad luck sometimes, but she is not worried at all.
Old Madam Wei looked at Chang Ning with a cold face and sneered, "Deep friendship? I, an old woman, don't even know what friendship is. Do you want to plot against someone and make it known to the world that he dumped her?"
Zhuang Feng said nothing with a cold face, turned his head and stared at Wei An.
His whole life was almost ruined by this person, and he wished he could grind her into ashes.
But what my aunt and mother said was that he had already suffered a huge setback because of Wei An, and he should not be as impulsive as before, and he should think carefully before doing anything.
So he lowered his head now, and almost at the same time when Mrs. Wei finished her words, he knelt on the ground and apologized to her.
Not only did he apologize, he also cried and blamed himself in front of Wei An.
I have honed it in Jizhou, and I can speak politely very smoothly.
Old Madam Wei disdained to watch their show, and shouted at him coldly, "Kneel down to heaven, kneel down to the earth, kneel down to your parents, I've never seen anyone kneel down before, there's no need to kneel down to me, kneel down to An An, she's too young, she can't bear it. Since you keep saying that you're blaming yourself, then don't torture her."
She glanced at Princess Changning again and said, "I have already paid the apology. If you have nothing else to do, please leave and let your nephew have dinner."
Drive people away
Princess Changning glanced at Zhuang Feng.
Zhuang Feng immediately bowed down and said, "Old lady! I am here to propose marriage..."
He pretended not to notice Mrs. Wei's face which turned pale in an instant, and still stated his request calmly.
They knew each other since childhood, were childhood sweethearts, and it was also their parents' will.
These were all the words the old princess used when she wanted to bring them together.
Zhuang Feng brought up the old words again and felt it was extremely ironic.
He couldn't help but find it funny that he was going to marry someone who had caused him to end up like this.
Wei An, who had been silent the whole time, laughed to break the deadlock. She looked at Zhuang Feng, staring down at him: "Knowing each other since childhood? Childhood sweethearts? Cousin, did you remember it wrongly? Your childhood sweetheart is not me, but your cousin Miss Li."
She stood beside Old Lady Wei and looked down at Zhuang Feng. "When grandma proposed marriage to you in the past, you always said that you were still young. But I am four years younger than you... Why are you suddenly proposing marriage to me now?"
Princess Changning looked at Wei An coldly and sneered in her heart.
Wei An has already come to a conclusion: "I have nothing to say. I don't think there is any friendship between us. There is no need to say such things again in the future."
She wanted to let him go for the old princess's sake.
But Zhuang Feng didn't know how to cherish it.
He raised his head and took out a jade pendant from his bosom: "Grandmother has already arranged a marriage for us. Now I have returned to my roots and am willing to carry out the marriage contract."
Mrs. Wei couldn't stand it any longer: "But I don't like you!"
She glanced at Zhuang Feng's shrunken hand with a sarcastic look and said coldly, "Why did you ask An An to marry you? Because of your two broken fingers?"
Her words were quick and urgent, like raindrops pouring down on Zhuang Feng.
Princess Changning did not respond.
On the contrary, Zhuang Feng's face had turned red, his eyes were red, and even the veins on his forehead were bulging. He felt extremely humiliated.
He was chased out by Old Lady Wei in a disheveled state.
Princess Changning didn't get away with it either. Old Madam Wei pointed at her nose and scolded her: "You are totally devoid of conscience!"
She sneered: "You've done so many bad things, aren't you afraid of retribution?!"
Princess Changning was originally a good-tempered person. To her, Old Madam Wei was just Wei Yangqing's mother before, but now she is nothing.
Her face was already torn, so she was no longer respectful to Old Madam Wei, and smiled sarcastically: "Why do I have no conscience? If I really had no conscience, Wei An would not be alive today. Can you still live to see the day when you love her so much?"
She sneered again, "Now that we've talked about it, why don't we just get straight to the point. I think this marriage is great, and we're well matched. We're still marrying above our station, so why don't we just get it done? You're not too young, and there are many girls in the capital who get engaged at the age of ten. I'll notify them when I get back, and ask them to invite the iceman."
