Chapter 246 The Three Kids' Wicked Idea
The three children were caught doing something wrong and were initially a little scared. But when they saw her standing in front of them, they exchanged glances and decided to straighten up and face her directly.
Mao Mao was the first to tilt her head back and speak.
"This is our home. Who do you think we are?"
Wei Ming also chimed in:
"Yes, this is our home. You ask who we are, but we'd like to ask you who you are too!"
Zhu Fangfei paused for a moment, then asked in surprise,
"Your family? You are the Crown Prince's children?"
Mao Mao wrinkled its nose and gave an arrogant snort.
"You're smart, you guessed right. We're all children of the Crown Prince's household. You know perfectly well that the Crown Prince loves Sister Zhi, yet you still shamelessly insisted on marrying into this family. You have no shame."
Seeing this, Wei Ming and Nana also joined in the teasing.
"Yes, you have no shame, no shame at all."
The girl, who had just run back, saw this scene and angrily rushed forward, shouting:
"You children are so rude, daring to insult Consort Zhu! Where are your parents?"
Wei Ming was the first to raise his head and arrogantly say:
“My master is in the palace. The emperor is my grandfather. Go find him.”
Mao Mao replied without any fear:
"My family is in the Tianwu Kingdom. My maternal grandfather is the king of the Tianwu Kingdom. Go and find him!"
Knowing she had no status or position, Nana held her fingers tightly and didn't dare to utter a sound.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Fangfei finally understood the relationship between them and the Crown Prince's residence. She immediately put her hands on her hips and said jokingly:
"Oh, so you're all unwanted wild kids. What are you trying to prove? Let me tell you, from today onwards, Jingyi Garden is my territory. If you dare to step into my territory without my permission again, I'll make you regret it."
The three children took a few steps back together. Suddenly, Mao Mao and Wei Ming opened their sleeves, and several mice crawled out one after another, heading straight for Zhu Fangfei.
"Ah! A mouse..."
Zhu Fangfei was not afraid of jackals, tigers, or leopards, nor of wild beasts in the mountains and forests; the only thing she feared was these rats.
She was so frightened that she jumped around on the spot, and the two maids beside her also looked at the rats crawling around on the ground in terror, running around after her.
The three children covered their mouths and giggled as they ran out of Jingyi Garden.
Zhu Fangfei didn't come to her senses until all the mice had run away. Her maids, Xiaoru and Xiaoyuan, rushed over to comfort her.
"Miss, are you alright?"
Zhu Fangfei waved her hand, panting heavily.
"Those little brats, I'll have to teach them a lesson later."
"Miss, the Crown Prince hasn't lifted the veil yet. Why don't you go inside and sit on the bed to wait?"
"What are you waiting for? The veil has already been lifted, do you expect me to put it back on? Get me some food, I'm hungry."
"But...but the Crown Prince hasn't arrived yet."
Are you sure he'll come?
In the past few days, she had inquired about the relationship between Wei Jianning and Lan Zhi and learned about their story.
She knew that even if she married Wei Jianning as she wished, she would not be able to win his favor anytime soon.
But she still wanted to marry him because she had fallen in love with Wei Jianning at first sight, and she believed that love would grow over time.
She believed that as long as she could see him every day, he would gradually fall in love with her.
……
After seeing off all the guests, Wei Jianning took off his wedding dress and went straight to Lan Zhi's room.
He had a little to drink today, and being a light drinker, he felt a bit dizzy.
When he came in, Lan Zhi was sitting at the table, resting her chin on her hand, lost in thought.
Hearing the door open, she quickly turned around and saw Wei Jianning walking towards her with an unsteady gait. She hurriedly got up to greet him, and couldn't help but scold him playfully:
Why did you drink so much?
He stepped forward, pulled her into his arms, and gently stroked her lower abdomen while whispering softly.
"My wife, my wife, I have broken our vows. I have married another woman. I am sorry, I am so sorry."
As he said this, he broke down in tears, and Lan Zhi's tears also streamed down her cheeks.
They hugged like that for a long, long time, until Lan Zhi finally pushed him away and managed a strained smile.
"Look at you, what happened to what we agreed on?"
He raised his hand and gently stroked her face, his handsome eyes fixed intently on her.
“My wife, the day I stood up, I silently swore in my heart that I could wrong anyone in my life, but I would never wrong you. But I broke my promise, and you hit me… slap… slap…”
He grabbed her hand and slapped her face repeatedly.
Lan Zhi did not stop him, letting him continue hitting her.
She withdrew her hand only when he felt tired, then placed it on his face.
“My lord, I don’t want this matter to affect our relationship. The Crown Prince’s residence can have one more person, but we can’t change our original way of life because of this one person. As long as you don’t touch her, I will treat her as a guest. If, after a few months or years, you really develop feelings for her or fall in love with her, then I… I will give up this position.”
"No nonsense."
He raised his hand to cover her mouth.
“My wife, I, Wei Jianning, hereby swear that in this life, I will only be with you for life. If I dare to touch another woman, may my hands fester, my feet be severed, and I be condemned to eternal damnation.”
"Alright, don't make such a heavy oath. Since you think this way, you haven't done anything to wrong me. By the way, didn't you go and lift her veil?"
When this was mentioned, Wei Jianning smiled.
"Those three brats went to Jingyi Garden to cause trouble, she probably already lifted her veil."
"Huh? What did those three do?"
"It's nothing, but it did help me out. Let's go to sleep!"
As he spoke, he put his arm around her shoulder and walked towards the bed.
At Jingyi Garden, Zhu Fangfei had eaten and drunk her fill, waiting for the Crown Prince to lift her veil. However, she waited all night, but the Crown Prince did not even show his face.
As dawn broke, she got out of bed and, finding herself still alone, angrily called out:
"Xiaoru, Xiaoyuan..."
The two of them hurriedly pushed open the door and entered.
"Miss, what's wrong?"
"Didn't the Crown Prince come last night?"
The two girls shook their heads together.
"No."
"Go and see..."
"I've seen it. The Crown Prince entered the palace early this morning."
This……
Zhu Fangfei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Ru reminded her:
"Someone just came from the main courtyard and said that according to the rules of the Crown Prince's residence, you have to go and serve tea to the main wife."
"Alright, I was just thinking of meeting this legendary Crown Princess anyway, so please help me with my makeup..."
Lan Zhi was in exceptionally high spirits today. She wanted to meet Consort Zhu with a completely new attitude and let her know what a mistake it was to desperately marry into the Crown Prince's household.
When Zhu Fangfei arrived, she was leisurely sipping tea. Seeing her enter, she raised her hand and said:
Did my little sister sleep well last night?
Zhu Fangfei stood in front of her, looking her up and down. Although the woman was heavily pregnant, she did not look tired, and she exuded an aura of authority that made people afraid to approach her.
She pursed her lips and nodded in reply:
"Oh, that's alright."
"Then please sit down!"
Zhu Fangfei quickly waved her hand.
"No, no, I haven't served tea yet, I can't sit down."
