Chapter 405 Taking advantage of the situation
Princess Yazhen was about to nod when she suddenly remembered the sword at her neck. Her face flushed red. "Um, I can't nod, but I'm willing to reconcile..."
Faced with absolute power, one should endure any humiliation first.
When the opportunity arises again, I will retaliate a hundredfold.
Seeing her frustrated expression, Wu Weiwei suddenly felt a surge of pleasure.
"Chunxiao, release Princess Yazhen!"
Upon receiving the order, Chunxiao swung her sword and a strand of hair fell from the sky.
Upon closer inspection, everyone noticed a gap at the end of Princess Yazhen's hair.
Seeing this, Princess Yazhen, who was finally able to catch her breath, suddenly burst into tears and then ran inside quickly in front of everyone.
Wu Weiwei looked at Ling Fu and the others, and they exchanged glances.
A moment later, Shao Zhan's servant came out with a strange look on his face.
"Master Wu, our Crown Prince invites you."
This Wu Dongjia is really bold, daring to offend even the most noble princess of their Western Liang Kingdom. If she really marries their crown prince, wouldn't it cause a great war?
Seeing his hesitant expression, Wu Weiwei naturally understood what was going on.
However, she was not prepared to explain.
Reception room.
Seeing Wu Weiwei arrive in plain clothes, Shao Zhan wondered why she had come.
If it's about a marriage alliance, then there seems to be nothing to discuss, since it was decided by the Emperor of Great Wei.
Looking at his handsome face, Wu Weiwei spoke directly: "Prince Shao, I won't beat around the bush."
I've come here today to ask you to politely decline the marriage the Emperor has arranged for us!
"A polite refusal?"
Shao Zhan was surprised.
He assumed that, given his status as the Crown Prince of Xiliang, Wu Weiwei should be delighted to marry him.
But he clearly didn't expect that the woman in front of him would look down on him, a prince.
Although surprised by Wu Weiwei's decision, Shao Zhan did not show it on his face.
He heard that Wu Weiwei had started a relationship with a handsome young man after leaving Lu Hanting.
It is said that he was a minor steward under her, and he thought it was just to provoke Lu Dushi!
Could it be that what they said is true?
"Yes, I do not want to be a bridegroom. Rather than becoming a man's plaything, I would rather become strong and make men dependent on me!"
As soon as Wu Weiwei finished speaking, she saw Shao Zhan looking at her in shock.
Seeing his surprised expression, Wu Weiwei raised an eyebrow.
My idea does sound counterintuitive, but so what?
After all, she is now moving in that direction.
They looked at each other.
Looking into her determined gaze, Shao Zhan suddenly became curious about her.
If before it was because of her resemblance to that person, now it is because of her bold and unconventional ideas.
interesting.
Unexpectedly, this trip to the Great Wei brought him unexpected gains.
He tapped the table with his fingers.
"So, what are your plans?"
Wu Weiwei had been paying close attention to Shao Zhan's every move, and when she heard him ask this question, she knew that he already had a plan in mind.
Perhaps this marriage alliance was not part of the Crown Prince of Xiliang's plans.
Thinking of all this, Wu Weiwei raised her eyebrows and gave him a faint smile.
"Crown Prince Shao, I agree to the cooperation you mentioned the other day!"
"what price?"
Shao Zhan raised his eyes and gazed at the woman before him, whose every move was exquisitely beautiful.
"If you can persuade the emperor to abandon the plan to send me for a marriage alliance, I will give you a tenth of your share..."
That day, Shao Zhan offered to pay three times the price to replace Jubaolou's share in Yulu. Now, I'm giving him a 10% discount. Isn't that generous enough?
"Hehe, that's too much..."
Shao Zhan shook his head.
Now that he has the upper hand, how could he not bargain?
"Twenty percent?"
He still shook his head.
"Thirty percent?"
The price Jubaolou offered back then should be acceptable, right?
However, to Wu Weiwei's surprise, the Crown Prince of Xiliang still shook his head.
Wu Weiwei's brow twitched.
What do you want?
Seeing her exasperated expression, Shao Zhan suddenly found it quite amusing.
It turns out that I'm just an ordinary person, actually haggling with a woman.
Just as Wu Weiwei was about to lose patience, she saw him extend his hand.
"I want your secret recipe for Bai Ling Ointment."
"you……"
Wu Weiwei's hands were clenched tightly under her sleeves; if she hadn't been so well-mannered, she probably would have called Chunxiao to get violent.
I thought this prince was a gentleman, but I never expected him to be someone who loved to take advantage of others' misfortunes.
Lingfu, watching her mistress being forced into such a state by the Crown Prince of Xiliang, was extremely anxious.
However, she knew that the girl might really have no other choice.
After all, in order to escape the fate of being forced into a marriage alliance, even if the Crown Prince of Xiliang demanded the entire Jade Deer City, his master had no choice but to comply.
Mei Lane.
Ling Chu held the princess's letter, hesitating whether or not to knock on the door in front of her.
The old man guarding the gate looked at the well-dressed young man and asked, "Sir, I've seen you standing here for quite a while. Have you decided who you're looking for?"
Hearing what Lao Huai said, Ling Chu quickly handed over the letter in her hand.
"Sir, this is a letter my wife asked me to deliver to your master. Please pass it in for me! I'll wait here for a reply!"
The eldest princess had specifically instructed that the princess must be treated with utmost respect.
No one should be forced in the slightest. Whether it is a princess or a servant in their household, everyone must be polite.
"Oh, so you're looking for our boss."
However, you may be disappointed; our boss is not here. Please come back tomorrow!
"Not here? Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Ling Chu muttered to herself.
If he had known the princess wasn't there, he wouldn't have stayed here for so long.
"You didn't even ask me!"
Old Huai scratched his head, who knew he was looking for his employer.
Judging from his appearance, one would think he was waiting for one of the maids in their household.
"Never mind, I'll come another day!"
A garden in the suburbs of Beijing.
The eldest princess, who was anxiously waiting, saw Ling Chu return with her head down and rushed forward.
"What happened? What did Wei'er say? Did she agree to meet with me?"
"Princess, the princess is not here today."
However, I have already given the letter to the gatekeeper and instructed him to give it to the princess. She should reply tomorrow!
Upon hearing Ling Chu's words, the princess's face immediately darkened.
"Does Wei'er know I'm in the capital, so she's deliberately avoiding me?"
Otherwise, why would they avoid seeing each other?
"Your Highness, could it be that you're overthinking things?"
The princess probably doesn't know you'll be seeing her, and besides, only our people know about the princess's background..."
"That's right, Granny Shi, you're right. It's my fault for caring too much and inevitably overthinking things."
"Your Highness, please sit down and rest for a while. Perhaps the Princess will send a message later!"
The eldest princess, however, looked at Ling Chu.
"Go and keep watch outside the Princess's residence! If there is any news, be sure to come back and report!"
"Yes, Your Highness."
Not long after Ling Chu left, Wu Weiwei returned.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, the gatekeeper, Old Huai, remembered the task the young man had entrusted to him and hurriedly chased after him.
"Master, here is a letter from you!"
