Princess Zhennan was not at a loss at all. She had almost foreseen how hard Zhuang Feng's life would be in the future. Li Shenglan had lost both her parents and had nothing. She couldn't bring any help, and she married into the family in such a way... How could the old princess be sincere to them in the future? !
She really couldn't help crying: "How can this be?! Mom, he is just young and naive..."
The old princess ignored her and looked at Zhuang Feng, who had a complicated expression. "Since you said you like her and you have done something like that with her, it would be unreasonable not to marry her. Now that grandma will help you, how about it?"
Zhuang Feng bit his lip and said nothing. He looked at his mother who was almost fainting from crying, then looked at the old princess. Most of the chivalrous spirit in his heart was gone. He stammered, "I..." He blushed, "My cousin..."
Although he didn't say anything, he was not very willing after all.
The old princess's expression became sarcastic, and she almost wanted to laugh, but she didn't laugh in the end. Instead, her eyes grew colder.
If Zhuang Feng really agreed to marry Li Shenglan, she would be less angry - after all, he was just an impulsive young man. Although he was ignorant and stupid, he still had a sincere heart and was honest.
But he didn't want to. This man is really cold and ungrateful.
The old princess hugged Wei An and asked him, "What happened? People outside are waiting for you to give an explanation. You are a man. You were willing to confront me and disobey me for her before. Now that I have agreed, you should stand up for yourself."
Princess Zhennan felt her heart hanging in the air. At this moment, Wei An's entanglement, which she had always been annoyed with, seemed so important. She stared at Wei An and shook her head fiercely: "No, no, mother, you know, he and An An are childhood sweethearts. He just had a bad temper and was provoked by someone..."
It was self-evident who this instigator was. She was so angry that she said, "I will send Shenglan to Puci Temple right now!"
Zhuang Feng retreated again.
Although my cousin is wronged and pitiful, her parents would not want her to be their legal wife based on her status... He looked at the old princess and said hesitantly, "Grandma, I won't argue with you anymore. I was wrong..."
Princess Zhennan was as if she had been pardoned, and she echoed: "Yes, yes, yes..."
Zhuang Feng immediately lowered his head and said, "Cousin, please be my concubine..."
The old princess held Wei An's hand a little tighter, almost feeling disappointed for Li Shenglan. She looked at Zhuang Feng and asked him, "Have you asked your cousin what she thinks?"
Zhuang Feng shook his head blankly, and then said as a matter of course: "My cousin said that no matter what, as long as she follows me, it will be fine. She doesn't ask for much... In the future, An An will just be nicer to her..."
"You have taken all the good things in the world." The old princess sneered, "Before this happened between you and your cousin, you knew that she couldn't be your legal wife, right? You are making such a fuss about breaking off the engagement, just hoping that I would compromise and give her to you as a concubine..."
This is of course a very normal idea. Which wealthy family would want such a decent daughter-in-law
But the old princess was already disheartened. She shook her head and said to Princess Zhennan, "Let's just forget about this engagement. Just pretend I never mentioned it. Whether it's Li Shenglan or someone else, it's up to you. I won't ask about his marriage anymore."
Such a person is not a good match, and you will not have a good life if you marry him.
The old princess reminded him again: "You should not be so greedy in the future... If you really like your cousin, you should let her go. Although her parents are dead, you are always here. She will become a proper mistress of a decent family, the principal wife of a small family, instead of being your concubine... But now the big mistake has been made, you have no choice. Let her be a concubine, but I am afraid you will have no peace in the future..."
If Li Shenglan wanted to be a concubine, would she still threaten to die
Zhuang Feng did not listen to the old princess's reminder. He just looked at Wei An in confusion.
Wei An's behavior was so strange. Why didn't she cry? Why didn't she make a fuss
Didn't she know that, given her situation, she couldn't marry into a better family than the Zhennan Palace no matter what? Wasn't it for this reason that she disliked Li Shenglan in the past? But why did she say she didn't want to get married so easily now
Even Princess Zhennan found it strange. She looked at Wei An and said, "An An, your cousin knows he was wrong..."
The old princess sneered heavily and interrupted Princess Zhennan's words: "He knows he is wrong, and I know I am wrong too." After choking Princess Zhennan so much that she couldn't say a word, the old princess looked at her coldly: "Please save some face for everyone. I wanted to marry An An to him, hoping that he would treat An An well. Can I still count on that now?"
Princess Zhennan couldn't say a word. She sat on the ground and looked at the old princess, feeling a little desperate: "Mother... He can't marry Shenglan..."
"Then be my concubine." The old princess said firmly: "After I knew about this before, I still wanted to give you a chance. It was he who made a fuss. His fuss made me realize that I am doing this for marriage, not for enmity. It's just that you can't have all the good things. I have made it clear that Changning is not allowed to touch my things. They are all for An'an... ... I thought that what I gave to An'an was also for you, but now you have heard clearly, today I will let Nanny Chen write a list of my things, and leave them all to An'an... ... I don't want to and can't take care of other things, and all the things in the public house are given to you... ... You can take care of yourselves."
Once the old princess made a decision, she would never waver easily, just like when she was arranging Wei An’s marriage.
Princess Zhennan was a little unsettled, but she knew she couldn't say anything. If she continued, the old princess might not even save her face.
She sobbed as she led Zhuang Fengcai out of the door, and her trusted nanny hurried over to them, "Princess, my cousin... I heard that she wanted to commit suicide after hearing some unpleasant words from the maids around Miss Seven..."
Princess Zhennan turned her head and stared at Zhuang Feng, her fingertips almost poking his nose: "Did you hear clearly? Hearing is not as good as seeing. Did you see what Wei An said just now? He doesn't care about this marriage at all, and he is still making a fuss about not being able to accommodate her? Zhuang Feng, you are only tall but not smart!"
The old princess was also saying to Wei An: "She is tall but not smart. She didn't even know she was being framed..." She then seemed to be thinking: "I didn't realize before that his cousin is so cunning... Well, it's a touchstone to test whether she is reliable or not..."
Hahahaha, more updates, can I turn on the air conditioner today? Don't be anxious, after all, it's the first month, updating too fast will easily disrupt the rhythm, and my small county town really often has power outages... Anyway, I will try to add more updates when I have the chance, but I still have to continue to ask for monthly tickets and subscriptions.
As for the male lead... I usually write things very clearly, and you should be able to guess it after a few chapters.
