It was not difficult to see Xue Rong. Wu Sheyue only asked A Li to help, and she succeeded without even informing Yu Jing.
Only three days later, in a remote teahouse with few people.
After Xue Rong entered the door, he looked around and spotted Wu Sheyue at a glance. He walked to the opposite side of Wu Sheyue, sat down casually and said, "Miss Third, you have been waiting for a long time."
Wu Sheyue raised her head and smiled, "Mr. Xue is very impressive. It's really hard to meet you once."
"Miss Third, I misunderstood. Xue was just trying to avoid suspicion." Xue Rong stiffly twitched the corner of his mouth.
Every time he goes out to do things, he is followed at a distance by several men with swords. This is really terrifying... He is willing to meet people from the Prime Minister's Mansion only because he is scared. Although he was meeting a famous woman in the imperial capital, he was really not willing at all.
Wu Sheyue leaned forward slightly and whispered: "If Mr. Xue really avoided suspicion, he wouldn't sneak to the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion to relax. It's a coincidence that Mr. Xue can come to the Prime Minister's Mansion wherever he goes. , it must be related to the Prime Minister’s Mansion.”
At that moment Xue Rong was sure that this woman was definitely coming with bad intentions. He sat up straight and changed the subject with extreme caution, "You are joking. I don't know what the third lady is up to."
"My fourth sister has not been in good health recently. She fell ill for some reason. The doctor came to see her a few days ago. Although she prescribed medicine, she also said that... her situation is not good, and she may not be able to survive. It’s over.”
Wu Sheyue said, looking at Xue Rong's expression carefully. But this person just said with an indifferent look: "Since Third Young Lady is concerned about your sister, it would be better to invite more reputable doctors. However, since the prime minister has a high position, it must not be difficult to invite the imperial doctor. This kind of thing It's useless for you to talk to me."
"Hey~" Wu Sheyue sighed, she put a ring on the table and slowly pushed it in front of Xue Rong, "Mr. Know."
Xue Rong looked at the ring but did not move. He just sighed and said, "In that case, Xue will just tell you the truth. I do have a good personal relationship with the Fourth Miss, but the Fourth Miss has become the fiancée of the Eighth Prince. I should keep my distance to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."
Wu Sheyue sneered, this man who always talks down-to-earth looks really like Xue Yan! She took a sip of tea and then said slowly: "So Mr. Xue thinks so. It does make sense."
"Yes, it would be great if the third lady can understand."
"However, my fourth sister has a knot in her heart that is hard to get rid of. If she marries the eighth prince, she may really die of illness. The only remedy is to stay away from the worries of the world and go to a quieter place. I wonder if Mr. Xue has any free time." Wu Sheyue looked at Xue Rong meaningfully.
Xue Rong understood her hint, but the hint made him furious. He didn't bother to lower his voice and speak properly, and directly scolded, "Are you crazy? Why should I take her away when she looks like that? Why should I go out with someone like her while leaving a good home? What if she is a peerless beauty? It’s just a once-in-a-thousand-year encounter, it’s just a broken shoe, and you still told me in the letter that you can’t forget me, this is too disgusting!”
"Did Xue Yan tell you?" Faced with the other party's hysteria, Wu Sheyue calmly took a sip of tea and still asked with a smile.
Xue Rong paused for a while before speaking again, "Yes, if the eldest brother hadn't come to find me, I would have been deceived by Wu Lixiang! She has obviously lost her virginity and deceived others to marry her. It is really too dissolute and despicable. Even the third lady Even if you can kill me, I won't want such an unchaste and dirty woman." Xue Rong said, grabbing the ring on the table and rushing out.
Wu Sheyue sighed and sat without moving. The person sitting next to him suddenly stood up and followed him out of the teahouse.
Xue Rong was furious in his heart. He was suddenly grabbed by the shoulder by someone behind him and turned back angrily. The oncoming fist knocked him to the ground, and his nose and head were buzzing.
Just as Xue Rong was about to have a fit, he saw Wu Ziming glaring at him angrily, his eyes red as if he wanted to eat someone.
Xue Rong's anger was mostly extinguished at once. He wiped his nosebleed and stood up from the ground. He said coldly: "It turns out you were the one who moved the reinforcements. Let's forget about it. See that it's easier for her and me." For your sake, I won’t hold you accountable for anything. But you’d better not appear in front of me! Otherwise, don’t blame me for saying anything!”
Xue Rong spoke domineeringly, but his eyes were a little weak, and he took a few steps back, probably because he was afraid that Wu Ziming would take action again. Wu Ziming stared at him with murderous eyes and said nothing. He felt that Wu Ziming also had scruples, so he covered his nose and left in a hurry.
Wu Sheyue walked up to Wu Ziming and said leisurely: "You really don't want to cause trouble, do you?"
"But he—"
"I originally came here to give it a try, otherwise neither you nor Wu Lixiang would give up. Now, you don't have to worry about letting Xue Rong take someone away." Whether a virgin is required to marry a wife is an eternal problem, she It’s hard to say who is right and who is wrong between Xue Rong and Wu Lixiang, they are not good people anyway~
Wu Ziming waved his hands in anger and said, "You shouldn't have come today!"
"Okay, you go back and persuade her. It's not a wise move to seek death. Either get married or leave alone." Wu Sheyue patted him on the shoulder and left first.
After that, Wu Lixiang seemed to be a different person. She rarely cried and cried, looking for life and death. Gradually, she could go to Qunxingzhai to pay her respects. What she did before was what she was doing now. When he spoke, there was a hint of his original plan of scheming others.
This change made Aunt Liu and Wu Ziming feel more relieved. Wu Ziming no longer had any hostility towards Wu Sheyue because they now had no conflict of interest and there was room for win-win cooperation. But Aunt Liu looked at Wu Sheyue with an increasingly sinister look. Based on a woman's intuition, she believed that Wu Sheyue was the cause of Wu Lixiang's misery.
Less than two months later, in late autumn, the Prime Minister's Mansion hurriedly sent Wu Lixiang to the Eighth Prince's Mansion. Maybe it was because the recent events were coming one after another, which made Wu Hantian really scared, so as not to have long nights and many dreams.
There is no pomp and circumstance in marrying a concubine. All it takes is a sedan to send the concubine there, and the betrothal gift is pitifully small. On the day of the gift, there were no bright red decorations in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so Aunt Liu hung a few pieces of red silk in her yard, which was very simple and dull.
Wu Lixiang chose to be obedient and obedient, which was expected by Wu Sheyue. After all, she was a spoiled rich lady with a bad temper. What she was best at on weekdays was choking people and asking for things. She didn't dare to go out and wander by herself.
But Wu Sheyue was a little envious. If she had someone to support her when she went out, she would be eager to pack her things and leave immediately. (To be continued)
