Chapter 108 Acquisition
Lu Hanting strode over to He Yuyan's side.
"Yan'er, are you alright?"
"I, the Crown Prince..."
He Yuyan's tears, which she had been holding back for so long, streamed down her face like a burst dam.
Lu Hanting's face was gloomy.
He frowned and looked at Wu Weiwei.
"what happened?"
What he had imagined to be a joyful and harmonious scene has now turned into Yan'er being surrounded by people.
If he hadn't arrived in time, who knows how badly Yan'er would have been bullied.
Wu Weiwei looked at Lu Hanting calmly, without offering any explanation.
However, it was Steward Huang, who was standing next to her, who recounted everything that had happened here in detail.
"Wei'er, is it really true?"
Looking into his cold eyes, Wu Weiwei asked him, "Does Your Highness think that Wei'er would dare to lie in front of so many people?"
This was the first time Wu Weiwei had treated him with such indifference.
Lu Hanting felt a tightness in his chest.
Although he had just heard what Wu Weiwei said, Yan'er was really aggrieved.
He just wanted to confirm with her why she was being so stubborn.
Seeing the tense atmosphere between the two, Chen Furong cautiously looked at her senior brother.
Then look at my best friend.
"Senior brother, this has nothing to do with Sister Weiwei, it's all your favored concubine's fault..."
"Shut up, you have no right to speak here."
Lu Hanting glanced at her and saw Chen Furong mumble a few words and then fall silent.
When Chen Furong was learning martial arts on Mount Beiming, her most admired person was her wise and refined senior brother.
What she disliked most was her second senior brother, who always argued with her.
What I fear most is my third senior brother, Lu Hanting.
He not only has a high talent for martial arts, but is also highly regarded by his master.
Even the proud and arrogant second senior brother sometimes showed him a lot of tolerance.
If there is anyone in this world who can subdue him, it is probably his senior brother who is currently traveling abroad.
Seeing Chen Furong being yelled at made Wu Weiwei feel extremely uncomfortable.
As expected of the female lead, she only managed to shed a few tears.
Look how heartbroken Lu Hanting is.
She looked at the man who was holding He Yuyan tightly in his arms and explained:
"Your Highness, this matter has nothing to do with my junior sister."
If you really want to blame someone, then blame me!
It's my fault for not managing my employees well, which caused Sister He to suffer..."
Wu Weiwei lowered her head.
There was an indescribable sense of desolation in his tone.
From Lu Hanting's perspective, he naturally noticed the faint disappointment in Wu Weiwei's eyes.
A sudden wave of guilt washed over him.
“Wei’er…”
He Yuyan, who had been watching the two people's expressions, suddenly said, "Young Master, Dingxiang's hand was accidentally twisted by Miss Chen just now."
If the bones are not set in time, I'm afraid...
Upon hearing this, Lu Hanting abruptly stopped speaking.
His gaze turned to Chen Furong.
"He Yuyan, your maidservant brought this upon herself..."
As Lu Hanting's cold blade shot towards her, Chen Furong immediately fell silent.
Seeing Chen Furong's discomfiture, He Yuyan felt a strange sense of pleasure.
……
Finally, under Lu Hanting's intimidating aura, everyone dispersed.
With a stern face, Lu Hanting escorted He Yuyan away from Wei Garden.
Watching the two figures stride away.
Chen Furong said remorsefully, "Sister Weiwei, I'm sorry, it's all because of me that you and my senior brother got into this mess..."
Wu Weiwei shook her head with a wry smile, "Furong, this is none of your business."
Even without you, the Crown Prince might not be able to let her go.
Qiu Xinyuan.
Lu Hanting looked at He Yuyan, who was lying on the bed looking weak.
He bears a great deal of responsibility for how things turned out this way.
He said with self-reproach, "Yan'er, it's all my fault."
"If I hadn't insisted that you take the exam for the female doctor position at Wei Garden, you wouldn't have been so frightened today..."
He meant well, but things backfired.
If he had known about her bad experience, he definitely wouldn't have let her go to Wei Garden.
But she had kept this from me all along...
Lu Hanting looked distressed and was about to wipe away the remaining tear stains on her face.
Unexpectedly, He Yuyan turned her head away, avoiding his hand.
"Your Highness, I am tired today and I want to sleep."
Looking into her cold eyes, Lu Hanting forced himself to suppress his anger.
Today, for her sake, he broke Wei'er's heart in front of so many people. What more does she want from him?
"If you're angry because of the 20,000 taels of silver I gave Wei'er today, I can also..."
"No need, I'm not her."
He Yuyan coldly interrupted him.
Lu Hanting looked at her cold and charming profile and said in a chilling tone:
"Yan'er, my patience has its limits..."
Neither this nor that, what should she do?
Seeing his handsome face as cold as frost, He Yuyan finally felt breathless.
She knew this man had reached his limit of restraint, and she dared not touch his beard again.
Lu Hanting sat down on the edge of her bed.
His long, slender hand caressed her delicate face, and He Yuyan looked at him warily.
"Don't worry, I'll have Rufeng find you a shop tomorrow."
After speaking, the man stood up, turned around, and strode out of Qiu Xinyuan.
He didn't want his two women to become adversaries, but alas...
Fortunately, Yan'er wasn't very ambitious, so he didn't need to worry.
Lu Hanting's words startled He Yuyan for a moment.
By the time she came to her senses and wanted to refuse, the prince had already walked away.
After a while, Mo Yu walked in happily.
"Dingxiang, Rufeng just asked me how big a shop the young lady wants, whether it should be in a prime location or..."
Seeing Mo Yu's happy expression, Ding Xiang said disdainfully, "All you care about is the shop. Don't our young ladies have any self-respect?"
"Sister Dingxiang, I... I'm just happy for the girl..."
Mo Yu said, feeling wronged.
Dingxiang looked at He Yuyan, who was pretending to be asleep on the bed.
She knew the young lady didn't want to rely on the prince, but in the capital, they could only rely on him.
Although the young lady couldn't see through it, the maid had already figured it out long ago.
This is not Tongzhou, a small place where a mere county magistrate can keep the local gentry and landlords in check.
This is the capital city, the capital of the nation, where high-ranking officials and noble ladies gather, and where powerful families congregate.
You can't get things done if you don't have money.
Even if you have money, things might not get done.
Yesterday, she overheard that Aunt Wu's Wei Garden had its contract maliciously broken, with the aim of seizing her property.
If it weren't for the Crown Prince's support, that person would have done far more than just break the contract.
Therefore, her daughter thinks too simply.
She had long intended to persuade her daughter.
But she knew that until the very last step, the girl would definitely swallow her pride and accept the prince's gift.
Fortunately, things went smoothly today.
Her efforts in stirring things up over the past few days have not been in vain.
The next day.
Just as Wu Weiwei was about to leave, Ru Feng came over.
"What's wrong, Ru Feng?"
After returning yesterday, the young master did not come to her Biyun Courtyard, nor did he summon her to Qingsong Courtyard.
Based on what happened yesterday, Wu Weiwei knew that Gou Shizi's heart was probably no longer on the right track.
Looking at Aunt Wu, whose smile was as warm as a spring breeze, Ru Feng felt a little guilty.
"Aunt Wu, the young master asked me to convey a few words..."
"You said."
Wu Weiwei was still smiling.
"Um, the young master said he's willing to buy your Wei Garden shop at a high price. I wonder if you'd be willing to give it up?"
