Chapter 142:
Chen Zishu listened quietly, without any intention of being polite. He nodded slightly and said, "No need to thank you. If you have nothing else to do, Miss Chen, I will leave first."
Unexpectedly, he had the courage to take the initiative. In exchange for his reaction, Wei Hansu was in a daze for a moment.
Chen Zishu didn't look at her, turned around and left after saying that.
"Wait!" Wei Hansu was in a hurry and reached out to grab the sleeve of the man in front of him. Unexpectedly, he reacted very quickly and raised his hand to avoid it.
When Chen Zishu turned around again, his expression was already cold: "Girl, please respect yourself."
These words were too harsh for a noble lady who had always followed the rules. Wei Hansu's face instantly turned pale after hearing this. She hurriedly retracted her hand and stood frozen on the spot, watching the young man go away.
Until the man's tall figure completely disappeared from sight, he still stood motionless.
After a long time, her personal maid looked worried and couldn't help but whisper: "...girl."
Wei Hansu's face, which was stained red by alcohol, had already turned pale. She moved slightly and turned her head to glance at the maid.
The moment she caught her gaze, the maid hurriedly lowered her head to avoid her, not daring to say anything.
The master and the servant stood quietly for a long time. Wei Hansu seemed to have come back to his senses. The corners of his stiff lips trembled, but he did not make a sound for a long time.
How cruel, it turns out that they are not in love with each other.
It turned out that he had no interest in her.
It's all her own fault.
Then would he think that she was acting frivolously by calling him rashly today...
Is their fate all fake?
Wei Hansu felt panic in his heart, sore and bitter. He wished he could squat down and cry bitterly, but he was afraid of making others laugh. He barely maintained his dignity, suppressed all his emotions, and never thought about going back to the table to have fun with his girls. .
She just wanted to hide in her room and cry.
Unexpectedly, he turned around and looked up inadvertently, only to see an astonishingly beautiful woman standing at the door of Liuhou Mansion, looking at him with a strange expression.
Wei Hansu recognized her. She was Liu Wanning, the eldest daughter of Duke Anguo and the most beautiful woman in the capital, whom he had met at the banquet today.
The steps he raised were suddenly stagnant. Wei Hansu, who had just recovered from the shock of his sweetheart not liking him, was so embarrassed that he wanted to pass out.
She was trembling slightly because she was too embarrassed and ashamed.
Liu Wanning saw clearly. She lifted up the hem of her skirt and swayed closer step by step. A smile on her face was as gentle as spring water, and she said, "So Miss Wei Qi likes Prince Chen?"
Wei Hansu didn't want to pay attention to her, and turned around to leave in a panic.
But he heard the gentle and whispering voice behind him continue: "Don't you know? Then Prince Chen..."

Wei Hanzhang stayed in Jiang's courtyard all afternoon. During this period, he went to the Yongle Houfu to call Wei Hanshuang. Although they were cousins, they were extremely close, and Jiang didn't pretend to be an elder. The three of them sat around the stove making tea and chatting a lot about themselves.
Until the sun was about to set over the Western Mountains, I got up and left with some unfinished thoughts. Walking out of Jiang's place with Wei Hanshuang, the two sisters walked hand in hand and talked for a while until they reached a fork in the road. They reluctantly said goodbye when they stopped going.
While the two sisters were talking, a slender figure appeared on the quiet palace road. The man glanced at this side from a distance, did not come forward to say hello, and walked out of sight in a blink of an eye.
When Wei Hanshuang saw him, she seemed to have thought of something, her expression paused slightly, and she looked at her little cousin hesitantly.
Wei Hanzhang didn't expect to meet Chen Zishu. She didn't think there would be any embarrassment between herself and Chen Zishu.
From Wei Hanzhang's point of view, he only met Chen Zishu a handful of times, and he didn't even exchange a few words with each other, so there really wasn't much to say about them.
The cousin didn't want to say more. As one of the few insiders, Wei Hanshuang was naturally not boring enough to talk about old things. After a few words of warning with a smile, he left.
The setting sun was calm and warm, and the scenery was beautiful. It was not far from Qixiang Palace. After Wei Hanzhang and Wei Hanshuang said goodbye, they did not call for the sedan chair, but planned to walk back alone.
Unexpectedly, I just walked around the rockery, and after walking a few steps, I saw Chen Zishu, who should have gone away long ago, standing tall and tall, waiting for a long time by the flowing stream.
For a moment, not only Wei Hanzhang, but also the green beads and green orchid accompanying her were startled.
The three masters and servants stopped, but Chen Zishu stepped forward and said first: "Miss Wei, don't blame me. Chen didn't mean to disturb her, but since we were lucky enough to meet her, after thinking about a few words, we decided to agree with her. It’s best if you tell me clearly.”
Wei Hanzhang said: "Please tell me."
Chen Zishu seemed to be organizing his words on the spur of the moment. He paused and then said: "What happened before was because Chen was ignorant and did not know the depth of the matter, so he offended you. After knowing the inside story, I made an agreement with the elders in my family not to do anything about it within three years." Talk about starting a family.”
"Chen Shizi is overly worried. There is no offense between you and me." Wei Hanzhang said doubtfully: "It's just... you don't need to make a special trip to tell me whether you want to get married, right?"
What does it have to do with her?
Chen Zishu had always lowered his eyes respectfully and politely. Hearing this, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and finally he looked over, moved his lips and said, "It's better to say something."
Wei Hanzhang didn't understand, but she said she was all ears.
Chen Zizhu lowered his eyes again, not looking at her, and said: "Recently, I have always met the seventh girl of your mansion on the road, and today I was called directly by her..."
At this point, he said no more.
Wei Hanzhang's expression had darkened. In this era where people of the same spirit are all the same, this person came to her specifically and pointed out that her sister's words and deeds were frivolous and stopped men halfway?
Who can have a good face when someone says something like this to his face? Wei Hanzhang looked calm and asked: "What does the prince mean by this?"
Do you want her to take care of her sister at home?
"Then I'll tell you the truth," Chen Zishu said bluntly after a few breaths of silence: "I was abrupt before and didn't know that Tian Gao Gao Sheng had any intention of getting married to your family. Now I have come to my senses and made a decision. I will never marry anyone in this life." Introduction to the Wei family."
His tone was always gentle, but the decisiveness in it was clearly heard by Wei Hanzhang, and his anger rushed to the top of his head.
He somewhat understood what this man’s intention was in stopping him.
He wouldn’t think that Wei Hansu’s actions were caused by her deliberate orchestration, would he?
Or, seeing that Wei Hansu was attracted to him, she was worried that she would use the opportunity to force him to marry?
So why did you come here to tell her clearly in advance that you don’t want to marry a daughter from the Wei family?
How much do you look down on Wei Hansu?
It depends on the owner when it comes to beating a dog. No matter how bad Wei Hansu is, he is still from the Wei family. Besides, she didn't force him to marry.
There was no disturbance at all, so why did he become so nervous?
For a moment, Wei Hanzhang actually laughed angrily and said coldly: "Don't worry, Prince Chen, it's not that I, the girl from the Wei family, can't get married, so I have to rely on you."
