Chapter 21 The Crown Prince's Guarantee
Chapter 21 The Crown Prince's Guarantee
"Your Highness, I didn't mean it."
As you have seen today, the reason why Prince Min did this is partly to provoke you.
But the reason for this was simply because the slave was a concubine of low status.
"I'm afraid that if you take me out again in the future, and someone takes a fancy to me, will you send me away?"
Wu Weiwei looked at him with her long, narrow, almond-shaped eyes, her gaze watery and filled with grievance.
In ancient times, it was not uncommon for people to give away their concubines. Now, she was merely a concubine of the crown prince, so she had to be careful.
Seeing her so endearing appearance, Lu Hanting's anger vanished instantly, and his heart softened.
It turned out that she had just been testing him because she was worried that he would send her away in the future.
Lift her face and gently wipe away her tears.
"Silly Wei'er, you are my woman, how could I possibly give you away? What are you thinking about all day long..."
He rubbed her head, and for a moment he felt angry and resentful towards her.
What did this little woman take him for? She was his first woman, and the first woman to fill the emptiness in his heart since Yan'er's death. How could he possibly give her away?
"Don't worry, I, the young master, would never stoop to such a despicable act, and I certainly wouldn't send you away."
Seeing that he didn't understand her thoughts, Wu Weiwei stared at him with her big, beautiful eyes, looking incredibly charming.
Promote her to a higher rank, quickly promote her to a higher rank.
"What's wrong? Could it be that you're thinking of..."
Wu Weiwei thought he understood her feelings, so she nodded to him and then shyly blew a breath of air into his ear.
So it turns out she had been thinking about it.
Lu Hanting grasped her manhood, preparing to conquer it.
"Sir..."
Wu Weiwei felt a sharp pain from his pinching and looked up at him with puzzled eyes.
His dark eyes were filled with lust.
Sigh, Wu Weiwei felt depressed.
It turns out that he misunderstood her meaning after she had been performing for so long.
Ok!
If the reminders are too obvious, he will think that his ambitions are too great and that he can only proceed step by step.
Her fair and soft arms wrapped around his neck.
"Then the young master promises that no matter who tries to persuade you in the future, you will not be allowed to send Weiwei, this concubine, away?"
Let me remind you one more time!
What if it works?
Looking at her coquettish expression, Lu Hanting couldn't help but chuckle to himself, wondering why she was still fussing over this issue.
He pressed his lips to hers and sealed the deal with a kiss.
"I promise."
Soon, beautiful and melodious music filled the bath.
At the entrance of the Marquis of Dingguo's mansion, imposing lions stand guard on the left and right sides of the residence.
A woman wearing a worn-out cotton-padded jacket looked around at the door.
"Hey buddy, could you call someone for me?"
The gatekeeper gave her a disdainful look. "Who are you looking for?"
“Aunt Mei, it’s Zhao Chunmei, who’s in charge of people in your Marquis’s mansion.”
"I don't know any of these 'Aunt Mei' or 'Aunt Dong'."
“How could I not recognize her? She’s my distant cousin. She’s the one who asked me to come to your Marquis’s mansion to apply for a cook position.”
"Someone like you, who doesn't even look in the mirror, applying for a cook job? Isn't that a joke? Come on, come on, our Marquis's mansion doesn't hire cooks. Don't just stand here."
She was obviously a country bumpkin, and the guard waved to her.
The woman looked herself up and down.
Is there something wrong with her clothing?
Although the jacket was a bit old, she washed it very clean.
My aunt only told me to announce her name when I arrived at the Marquis's residence, but who knew I would encounter such a snobbish and contemptuous person.
Before she could argue further, the woman saw two carriages approaching from afar.
"Control..."
The coachman pulled on the reins and brought the carriage to a stop.
"Master, we've returned to the Marquis's residence."
A moment later, the carriage curtain was lifted, and a frail, delicate woman, supported by her maid, gracefully stepped down.
"Isn't this the celestial being described in the play?"
The woman looked on with amazement.
She stood there blankly, watching Wu Weiwei pass by, until Wanqiu coughed, at which point she took a step back and closed her eyes.
"Excuse me, excuse me!"
"Auntie!"
Wu Heran, who was following behind, looked at her in surprise.
"You... a little boy?"
Chen Caiyun never expected to run into him here.
"Well, it's me."
Wu Heran said happily.
Yesterday, he seemed to have heard the aunt say that he came to the capital to do something great, but he never expected to meet her at the gate of the Marquis's mansion today.
Wu Weiwei turned her head. "Ranran, do you know this lady?"
Wu Heran nodded, and then recounted to Wu Weiwei in detail how the aunt had helped him when he was being bullied.
"That's it."
"Thank you so much, sister. Since you're Ranran's benefactor, Lingfu..."
Then Lingfu stepped forward and took out a silver ingot from her sleeve.
"Big sister, this is just a small token of my gratitude. If it weren't for your help, I don't know what would have become of my brother."
Wu Weiwei said politely.
"It's nothing, just a small favor, no need to thank me."
Chen Caiyun looked at the fifty taels of silver.
My heart was pounding.
This young lady spent fifty taels of silver in one go, which shows that she must have a high status in the household.
But she had her own principles; she absolutely could not accept this money.
"Young lady, I can't take your money. If it weren't for your brother yesterday, we might have already been sold by human traffickers."
In fact, we should all be the ones thanking him.
"Sister, please accept this! It's my way of thanking you."
After several refusals, Wu Weiwei had no choice but to give up when she realized that she was truly unwilling to accept it.
"Alright, Lingfu, you can keep it!"
This is the second person to refuse her reward.
Wu Weiwei was puzzled. It seemed that people in ancient times were all a bit silly, refusing money even when offered.
However, Wu Weiwei expressed some appreciation for this older sister's behavior.
"By the way, I just saw you lingering around the Marquis's residence. May I ask if you've encountered any trouble, elder sister?"
At this point, the woman paused for a moment.
It turned out that someone had seen her in an embarrassing situation.
She laughed awkwardly, "It's nothing."
My surname is Chen, and my given name is Caiyun.
A while ago, my aunt wrote me a letter saying that the household she works for is hiring a cook.
I consider myself a good cook, and my aunt, pitying my widowed and destitute situation back in my hometown of Tongzhou, sent me to the Marquis's mansion in the capital to apply for a cook position. But who knew…”
As she spoke, she glanced at the young man who had been guarding the gate.
Wu Weiwei understood everything.
The gatekeeper, seeing her shabby appearance, probably took advantage of his position and refused to announce her arrival!
and many more?
She said her surname was Chen, her name was Caiyun, and she was Chen Caiyun who came from Tongzhou to apply for a cook position at the Marquis's residence.
Could her husband be Shen Baye, the notorious figure from the lawless area bordering Tongzhou, known for his dark influence?
Wow, this is a hidden big boss.
In the story, the female lead obtains Shen Baye's secret support through Chen Caiyun, which gives her the right to challenge the male lead and the courage to run away time and time again.
It turns out this woman in front of me is a sucker.
Not only did she personally push her husband out, but she was also pushed into the water by the master she admired, becoming a stumbling block on her road to success and eliminating her.
