Wei An hummed. Seeing how nervous she was, he pulled her to sit on a stone pier nearby and said softly, "It's okay. It's a blessing in disguise. If it's a disaster, you can't avoid it. They didn't even let me go to Fujian. If I really don't come, who knows what else will happen?"
Chen Mianmian knew that what she said made sense, and she held her hand with a depressed mood: "I know you are in trouble, but in fact, these things have nothing to do with you..."
Shen Chen is Shen Chen, and Wei An is Wei An. If he didn't like Wei An, he would not be willing to marry Wei An even if Wei An tied him up.
Just like Princess Yonghe, she has been following Shen Chen for so long, but Shen Chen never even looked at her.
How can you force something like love
What's more, even if it is really forced, it will be forced in the last days.
Princess Yonghe was a daughter of a noble family, and the princesses of the Zhou Dynasty were different from those of the past. Even if a princess married someone, she would still have a job and would never have trouble finding a husband. Why would she have to spend so much time on someone who didn't love her
She didn't understand why some people were so obsessed, and complained in a low voice: "If you really think Shen Chen is good, then go find Shen Chen, why would you look for me?"
Since they became aunt-in-law, they really felt a sense of sharing the same hatred for the enemy. Wei An couldn't help but laugh and comfort her: "If everyone could have the same idea, there wouldn't be so many problems in the world."
Human beings are the strangest creatures. Even brothers can sometimes become enemies, and even strangers can sometimes feel sympathy for each other just because of a glance.
Human hearts are complex, unpredictable and changeable; it is impossible for everyone to have the same ideas.
Chen Mianmian wanted to say something else, but the girls who were playing over there all came up and greeted her with a smile: "The princesses are here, they are in Shuyuan's room, let's go over there together!"
When young girls don't like someone, they are always willing to form cliques to exclude her. They especially like to win over the people around her in order to isolate her and make her feel embarrassed and helpless from the bottom of her heart.
The reason why these girls are so enthusiastic towards Chen Mianmian at this moment is not because they are really close to her, but they are just doing it for Wei An to see.
Chen Mianmian saw through their scheming at a glance and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. She held Wei An's hand and refused to let go. She brushed away the other girl's hand with a calm expression and said firmly: "Since the princesses are here, we should go to greet them together."
The girls didn't expect her to be so rude. Seeing that she was still huddled together with Wei An, they looked at each other, smiled, and then dispersed.
Wei An had already seen the tricks these girls played in his previous life.
I was ignorant in the past and thought this was a huge insult. But after experiencing setbacks, I realized that it was actually no big deal. I stood up with Chen Mianmian with a normal expression and gently reminded her: "If someone embarrasses me later, don't stand up for me."
Chen Mianmian's eyes widened in shock, feeling somewhat embarrassed: "How can this be possible?"
Wei Yulong is dead, and Wei An is now Wei Jie's only remaining sister. Wei Jie has also said many times that he truly treats Wei An as his sister.
Not to mention that she had felt guilty towards Wei An in the past, even if it was for Wei Jie, it was natural for her to protect Wei An.
Wei An knew what she was thinking, so he shook his head and smiled: "They invited me here this time just to embarrass me and cause trouble for me. Even if you offer to help me, it won't solve the problem. Instead, it will make them focus their attention on you. There's no need for that. I know your intentions, and that's enough."
The trouble came faster than expected. The coming-of-age ceremony was held in Feng Shuyuan's embroidery building. A stage had been set up in the courtyard on the first floor. The two princesses' maids and palace maids were guarding inside and outside the courtyard, making for a grand occasion.
When Chen Mianmian and Wei An entered the room, they saw that many chairs had been placed on both sides. The place did not look messy because of the large number of chairs placed. Instead, it was well organized, which showed how much Marquis Rongchang valued this sister.
Princess Yonghe was talking to Feng Shuyuan. When she saw Wei An, she looked at her from upstairs, smiled coldly, and asked, "You came so late. Everyone has been waiting for you."
They clearly entered the room at the same time. Chen Mianmian was a little confused and was about to explain, but Wei An reached out and held her hand, shook his head at her very lightly, and then lowered his head and said calmly: "It is your servant who is late."
"Not only are you late." Princess Yonghe sneered, "I heard that you had a conflict with the owner in the garden just now? If you are so arrogant, you shouldn't have agreed to come. Now that you are here, don't pretend to be a royal relative and act like a rich and powerful person! It's a good coming-of-age ceremony, but you are rude to me. Aren't you blaming the owner?!"
Princess Yongqing was somewhat surprised by Princess Yonghe's undisguised disgust and was somewhat stunned.
She thought Princess Yonghe would restrain herself no matter what, but who knew she would say such hurtful words as soon as she opened her mouth.
Princess Yonghe did not give up. The whole place was silent, and only her voice echoed in the room: "Who taught you these rules?! Before you were married to Uncle Zheng, weren't you the daughter of Princess Changning? How come you don't know the slightest bit of rules? I heard that Princess Changning doesn't like you, and even your stepmother doesn't like you. It shows that you are bad by nature. No wonder you don't even know the etiquette of being a guest."
Everyone was surprised.
Madam Mei, Madam Ping'an Hou's wife and others who came in later were even more stunned and confused, they looked at Princess Yonghe and then at Wei An, they really couldn't understand why Princess Yonghe suddenly spoke so harshly and said such unpleasant things.
Wei An suddenly raised his head.
She never liked princesses who acted high and mighty, no matter whether it was Princess Anhe in the previous life or Princess Yonghe in this life. They were obviously superior to others, but they still had to show off their superiority everywhere and step on others everywhere.
Princess Yonghe saw that everyone was looking at Wei An, so she leaned on the railing with both hands, laughed coldly and mockingly, and asked with a sneer in her eyes: "Who taught you the rules? You can't even be polite when you see me. Do you think that you, a princess, are higher than me, a princess?! Or do you think that your father, King Zheng, is also higher than my father, the emperor?"
Princess Yonghe's words really made everyone in the audience panic. They didn't say these words casually. If there was any mistake, especially at such a sensitive time, and if someone took it seriously, it might really cost someone's life. And it might be more than one life.
