Unable to figure it out, Han Yan said goodbye to a few people and returned to Qingqiu Garden.
Mother Chen had just returned from Furong Garden. Feng Hanyan greeted Aunt Mei and gave her some gadgets for children. Hearing that Mrs. Zhou had given Aunt Mei a lot of food and supplements, Mother Chen said, "She is really brave, but Aunt Mei probably won't use her things."
Han Yan casually picked up an embroidered quilt and looked at it: "Diseases come in through the mouth, and disasters come out of the mouth. Since she brings food, her real purpose must not be to eat."
"Then... will it be framed on the girl?" Mother Chen was very worried.
Han Yan smiled: "What are you afraid of? Anyway, Aunt Mei is not really pregnant, so she can just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. I would like to see what Zhou's next move is, and it should be soon. It’s time to send reinforcements.”
As expected, King Wei stayed at Zhuang Mansion to eat as he said. The dishes were extremely rich and exquisite. King Wei was full of praise. Zhuang Shiyang looked at Mr. Zhou who was serving the dishes for him with satisfaction: "Thank you for your hard work. Let's sit down and eat together."
Mrs. Zhou sat down next to Zhuang Shiyang, lowered her head and said, "It is my honor to be able to prepare dishes for Mr. King Wei. Mr. King Wei saved Yu'er, and he was the savior of me and Yu'er. A meal of food counts. What's going on?"
King Wei laughed: "This is all due to Rufeng."
Zhou took the opportunity to tug on Zhuang Yushan who was beside him: "Why don't you thank Prince Wei yet."
Zhuang Yushan was wearing a plain white dress today, with only a rose embroidered with red silk thread on the corners of the skirt. Her usual beauty had faded, her face was pale, and her hair was pulled up in a loose bun, making her face appear to be only the size of a palm. , so weak that people can’t help but feel pity at one glance. Xu Shi was kidnapped by bandits and suffered a lot. Zhuang Yushan's voice became extremely thin when he spoke: "Yu'er, thank you for saving your life." After saying that, a pair of gleaming eyes turned towards Wei Rufeng. Look.
Wei Rufeng met Zhuang Yushan's eyes, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips: "It's a simple matter, second lady, don't take it to heart." His eyes fell on Han Yan unconsciously.
Han Yan tasted the dishes in her mouth with relish and joked. She was not in the mood to watch Zhuang Yushan and Wei Rufeng perform a drama of beauty and hero in front of her before everything was served. He was not in the mood to watch Zhuang Shiyang and King Wei having a good time while drinking. Zhuang Qin and Aunt Wan did not come to the table because they were feeling unwell. Aunt Mei made supplements in the small kitchen alone because she was taking care of herself and stayed in Furong Garden. There was really no one at this table that she liked.
Zhuang Yushan noticed that Wei Rufeng's eyes fell on Han Yan, and a trace of jealousy and hatred flashed in his eyes. She has not forgotten that she was kidnapped by bandits all thanks to Zhuang Hanyan. Although those individuals did not do anything to her, the fact that she was kidnapped by bandits was known to everyone inside and outside the capital. Her reputation has been ruined. Now at the right time, At the age of marriage, my wish to marry into a high family is now impossible! Her mother asked her to hold back, she would let Zhuang Hanyan go through ten times what she had gone through, making Zhuang Hanyan's life worse than death.
Wei Rufeng's expression when he saw Han Yan made Zhuang Yushan jealous. It was Wei Rufeng who saved her from bandits before. This gentle and elegant man immediately won her favor. Later, when she found out that he was the son of Prince Wei, her heart fell in love with him. She has confidence in her appearance. Men are not sneaky animals. She originally thought that she might be able to win Wei Rufeng's admiration, but she didn't expect that he only cares about Zhuang Hanyan. How can she not hate him!
Zhuang Hanyan took away her position as a legitimate daughter, caused her to be kidnapped by bandits, and now he wants to steal her sweetheart. He, Zhuang Yushan, swore that one day he would make Zhuang Hanyan lose everything and kneel down to beg her!
After lunch, Zhuang Shiyang and King Wei stayed in the study to discuss matters, while Zhuang Yushan took Wei Rufeng around the house. Han Yan was a little sleepy and wanted to take a nap for a while. When he walked to the corridor, he heard a voice from behind: "Miss Zhuang Si."
Hearing this voice, Han Yan was startled, turned around helplessly, and blessed the visitor: "Prince Wei."
"The second lady was saved, but the fourth lady seems very disappointed?" Wei Rufeng carefully observed every expression on Han Yan's face. Unfortunately, to his disappointment, the other party was not angry, but the corners of his lips were curved.
"Han Yan is disappointed that Prince Wei went to save the second lady after a night."
Wei Rufeng saw that the corners of her raised lips seemed to contain a hint of sarcasm, and his voice dropped: "Do you think you did it flawlessly?"
Han Yan replied neither humble nor arrogantly: "Han Yan dare not be arrogant."
He saw that dealing with Han Yan was like dealing with a stone without water chestnuts, and his usually gentle expression became a little excited: "You hate me?"
Han Yan gave him a strange look, and really didn't understand what Prince Wei was thinking. After resurrecting her life, she saw many things very clearly. She gradually became indifferent to the past that she couldn't let go of, especially after yesterday's turnaround, she was determined to say goodbye to the past. Wei Rufeng is no longer the perfect and humble gentleman she imagined. The closer she gets, the clearer she sees that he is not as good as she imagined. Even, some are shameless.
"I don't know why the prince said this. Han Yan and the prince have only met a few times, so why would they like to talk about it. There is no need for the prince to care about this. Han Yan and the prince will only be acquaintances from now on."
Han Yan thought that what he said was clear enough, and he also left a lot of room. In fact, she and Wei Rufeng, just like the seventh prince and the prince, will definitely stand in two camps in the future. By then, I'm afraid they will become enemies and there will be no friendship left.
Wei Rufeng's expression changed after hearing this. He stared at Han Yan for a long time before he said coldly: "You may have thought wrong. We are just acquaintances? The fourth lady will be my crown prince in the future."
Han Yan almost retorted loudly for a moment, but he calmed down and said slowly: "The prince really loves to joke. Please think twice before saying such things in the future, so as not to ruin Han Yan's reputation."
The righteous words she spoke made Wei Rufeng see her look like she didn't want to have anything to do with him, which made him even more irritated, so he sarcastically said: "Young Miss Fourth, you still don't understand after seeing what happened today? Father has already intended to I will hire you as my wife as long as you are of age. Mr. Zhuang has also agreed to this matter."
Han Yan clenched her fists tightly, hating Zhuang Shiyang's shamelessness in her heart that she would betray her daughter just to get into the Wei family. And Wei Rufeng in front of her... The tragic scene of the wedding night in her previous life appeared in her eyes. Han Yan's eyes turned cold. No matter what, she would never marry this person again!
"Why does the prince want to marry me?" Han Yan suddenly asked softly.
When Wei Rufeng heard this, he turned his head uncomfortably: "You and I are of the same family, so there is nothing wrong with marrying you."
"There are many young ladies from high-ranking officials in the capital. Han Yan is not the only one who is well-matched, isn't he?" She pursed her lips and smiled: "Thank you for the prince's love, but Han Yan really doesn't have the prince in his heart."
