Yuanci raised an eyebrow at him, changed his previous solemn look, and said with a smile: "Yes, I just lied to you, Brother Xu is not my child, he belongs to a tenant farmer in the village, so what? ?”
Zhan Shulin was so angry that his face turned red: "How can you say so confidently? Do you know how shocked, frightened, sad and painful I was when I just heard that it was the child you had with another man... How could you just follow Am I making a joke like this? It’s not funny at all!”
Yuan Shichu snorted softly and said, "I'm just treating others in their own way. I want you to taste for yourself how I felt after I learned that you brought back a pregnant woman yesterday. Now you know. There has never been any real empathy. Only when one has personally experienced the pain of others can it be possible to understand and empathize with others. How can just a light apology make up for the heart I hurt you yesterday? "
Zhan Shulin was speechless when he heard what she said. He opened his mouth, unable to refute, and finally said dejectedly: "At the beginning of Yuan Dynasty, you won, you bad woman, eat me to death..."
Yuan Shichu said confidently: "You didn't ask me to punish you yesterday. This is the punishment."
Zhan Shulin glared at her hatefully, suddenly hugged her, pressed her tightly into his arms, and said through gritted teeth: "Yuan Shichu, you are really capable of making me love and hate you at the same time!"
When several maids around saw this scene, they immediately looked at each other with a snicker and then quietly went out, leaving behind the loving couple.
"If men and women are not intimate, we have to make peace. Don't hug me." Yuan Shichu poked Zhan Shulin's waist with his slender green fingers and said deliberately.
Zhan Shulin laughed angrily, deliberately hugged her tighter, and said viciously: "It's too late! Your innocence has been stained by me, and there is no other way out except letting me take responsibility."
"Hmph..." Yuan Shichu didn't continue to bicker with him because he had just been teased hard enough.
After the quarrel, it was already dark, so Zhan Shulin stayed one night in Zhuangzi. The next day, he tried to trick Yuan Shichu into returning to Zhan's house, but Yuan Shichu finally had an excuse to move out and live his own life. , of course, refused to go back early, so he rejected Zhan Shulin's proposal, and did not forget to remind him that there was an "outer room" at home waiting for him to deal with.
Zhan Shulin felt wronged and had to go back to the city alone in despair. Before the problem of the outer chamber was solved, he would not have the confidence to let Yuan Shichu go back.
Yuan Shichu and Zhan Shulin had two quarrels but reconciled. The quarrel did not affect their relationship at all, but Yuan Shiwan and Ji Xinbai were not so lucky.
After Yuan Shiwan came to seek help from Yuan Shichu but failed, she returned to her parents' home, hoping that Yuan's father and the Wang family would help her find a solution. However, she never expected that when she returned to her parents' home this time, she couldn't find a helper, but instead found herself. I found a love rival and came back.
It turned out that when she returned to the Yuan family that day, she told her parents distressedly that the third prince had broken his promise and wanted to marry his concubine. She hoped that her parents would help her find a way to prevent the third prince from falling in love with him.
Yuan's father really wanted to help his daughter, but he couldn't think of any useful way. He had a low official position and no real power. He couldn't give his daughter the confidence to be his only favorite, so he could only sigh and persuade her to accept the reality. Just be a little more cautious, just ensure her status as the head wife.
"Five Dynasties Rivers, Mountains and Winds"
As for stepmother Wang, she only had face-saving feelings for her stepdaughter and was not sincere towards her at all. Therefore, when she heard that the third prince was taking a concubine, her first reaction was not to worry that her stepdaughter would fall out of favor and feel sad, but instead to suddenly have an idea. : Since the third prince wants to take a concubine, why can't he take a concubine who is close to him? Although this stepdaughter has a good relationship with him, she is not his biological child after all. She may not be reliable if something happens in the future. But if the third prince takes in a woman who is closer to him, wouldn't it be better for him?
Wang was suddenly enlightened and figured it out! After all, the third prince is going to take concubines, so wouldn't it be better if he takes his own niece? My niece is related to me by blood and is better than this stepdaughter!
So Wang, who had some concerns in her mind, absentmindedly comforted Yuan Shiwan. In her mind, she was already calculating which niece from her mother's family was more suitable to be the third prince's concubine.
So half a month later, in the name of accompanying Yuan Shiwan and helping Yuan Shiwan solve his problems, the Wang family openly sent a niece from her mother's family to the Third Prince's Mansion.
Wang Tong is the niece of the Wang family. Before she joined the Third Prince, she had already received hints from her aunt, asking her to find ways to get in touch with the Third Prince. Wang Tong was naturally overjoyed. After all, with her family background, she wanted to marry It is very difficult to marry a young master from an aristocratic family, let alone someone as noble as the third prince. Therefore, this time she has the opportunity to get close to the third prince, even if she wants to be a concubine.
"Second cousin, my aunt is very worried about you. She is very worried, so she asked me to come and see you and talk to you to relieve your boredom. I hope second cousin will not blame me for disturbing you..." Wang Tong looked very sympathetic to Yuan Shiwan. Worrying look.
Yuan Shiwan looked at this "cousin" whom she didn't know very well, her expression a little stiff. She didn't understand why her stepmother asked her to accompany her. She was obviously not close to her, so she could only smile politely at Wang Tong: " How could it be? I'm very happy that you can come and accompany me. This worries my mother. It's because I'm unfilial. In fact, I'm quite good... Cousin, please live here. If there's any inappropriate reception, don't follow me. polite……"
At this time, she really thought that her stepmother just asked Wang Tong to accompany her to relieve her worries. Until the third prince came to see her, Wang Tong used her clumsy and superficial methods of seducing the third prince.
Yuan Shiwan was extremely shocked, shocked and angry. She hurriedly sent the third prince away, and then angrily asked Wang Tong: "Cousin! What did you mean by that just now? That is my husband, your cousin-in-law! It's not something casual. A man who can hook you up just by looking at him..."
Wang Tong felt guilty, but quickly argued plausibly: "Second cousin, I am doing this for your own good. The third prince is going to marry a concubine. What if he is won over by the concubine? I want to be The purpose of the third prince’s concubine is to help you solve your problems and help you win over the third prince. In this third prince’s house, you and I are a natural team. Instead of letting the third prince accept women from other camps, you will I am weak in the house, so I might as well occupy a position as a concubine, and I can also charge into battle for you..."
Yuan Shiwan couldn't believe that Wang Tong actually said these words. He was obviously trying to steal her husband, but he shamelessly said it was for his own good.
