Chapter 69 Full Wenyue Banquet 2

Not long after walking out, Shu Yuwans saw a woman standing on the road ahead.

She looked dignified, elegant, and composed.

It seemed like she was specifically waiting for her.

Approaching her with a smile, Shu Yuwans asked, “May I ask who you are? The banquet is in the front yard, did you lose your way?”

The woman replied, “I was waiting for you.”

Shu Yuwans’ smile gradually turned cold, “It seems the young lady is quite familiar with my family.”

The woman explained, “Mrs. Shu is originally from the Wei family, so I found a sister who is familiar with your family to lead the way. Miss Shu, please don’t misunderstand.”

Understanding the situation, Shu Yuwans realized that this was the rumored eldest granddaughter of the Wei family, and had not yet married at the age of eighteen.

Known for being proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and being the Crown Prince’s cousin, she was groomed by the Wei family according to the Empress’s standards from a young age.

Being cautious, Shu Yuwans smiled and asked, “I haven’t met you before. May I know why Miss Wei waiting for me?”

The woman inwardly sneered. If it weren’t for the engagement with the Crown Prince’s brother, what was worth her making a trip for as the daughter of a mere attendant in the Shu family, a daughter of a collateral branch of the Wei family?

“It’s nothing major. I just wanted to see what the destined one for the Crown Prince’s cousin looks like,” the woman said indifferently.

Unconcerned with the woman’s mocking tone, Shu Yuwans smiled gently, “Oh, didn’t Miss Wei see her at the banquet just now?”

The woman chuckled lightly, “At the banquet just now, Miss Shu was surrounded by so many ladies and misses, I couldn’t get a clear look. After all, Miss Shu is quite popular now.”

Shu Yuwans paid no attention to the slightly mocking tone, even wondering if this Wei family lady had arranged the assassination on the Dragon Boat Festival!

She also thought about what her eldest sister had said earlier, about the legitimate daughter of the Xiangyang Marquis’s mansion marrying far away!

It was probably not this woman in front of her, but the legitimate daughter of the Xiangyang Marquis’s mansion.

Marrying far away was probably the arrangement the Crown Prince had mentioned.

However, it was clear that it didn’t serve as a deterrent. Seeing the Wei family’s legitimate granddaughter directly coming to her house today.

But she wasn’t afraid. She instructed Qing Dai, “Take Wenyue back first.”

Although Qing Dai didn’t want to leave, when Shu Yuwans spoke, she had to comply. Carrying  Wenyue, she instructed Qing He, “Take care Miss.” Then she went back first.

She planned to call Zhao Mama and others to wait near the area for Miss, to prevent her from being at a disadvantage.

After seeing Qing Dai leave with  Wenyue, she turned to the woman and said, “You must be Miss Wei. Now that you’ve seen me, is there anything else you’d like to advise, Miss Wei?”

Wei Wushuang maintained an attitude of superiority, looking at Shu Yuwans with disdain in her eyes, but her tone couldn’t hide her jealousy: “Even with Master Kong’s approval, you still don’t deserve the Crown Prince.”

“You, a divorced woman who has also given birth to a daughter, are not fit to be the mother of a nation. It’s simply embarrassing for the Crown Prince. I’m here to give you some advice. You could actually be the Crown Prince’s concubine, which wouldn’t go against Master Kong’s instructions. This way, the Crown Prince wouldn’t be ridiculed.”

“Furthermore, the Crown Prince needs a Crown Princess whose background matches his status!”

After listening to Wei Wushuang’s words, Shu Yuwans remained calm: “Miss Wei, the marriage to the Crown Prince is the Emperor’s decree. Are you teaching me how to disobey the decree?”

“As for whether you are worthy of the Crown Prince? I am not worthy of Miss Wei either, so Miss Wei doesn’t need to worry.”

“After all, you are just a cousin. The Crown Prince himself, the Emperor, and his siblings all come before you. It’s not up to Miss Wei to decide if someone is worthy or not.”

“Miss Wei should focus on her own marriage. Why not visit Temple and see where Miss Wei’s fate lies?”

Wei Wushuang coldly snorted, threatening, “Today I came to advise you kindly. If Miss Shu insists on not listening to advice, disaster may be imminent.”

“Our Wei family has been a prominent public mansion for a hundred years, and being the Crown Prince’s uncle’s family, both the Emperor and the Crown Prince treat the Wei family differently, unlike the Xiangyang Marquis’s mansion!”

Upon hearing this, Shu Yuwans felt a chill in her heart. It seemed that the Wei family was not willing to give up the position of Crown Princess.

Wei Wushuang was right. The Emperor, took care of the Wei family, and respected them. If the Wei family did something to her, it might not be as straightforward as dealing with the people from the Xiangyang Marquis’s mansion.

But she was not willing to give up her position as the Crown Princess’s wife.

Shu Yuwans, seemingly afraid, asked, “What does the Wei family intend to do?”

“As long as you obediently step down, the Wei family won’t do anything.”

“Alright, come with me to the palace. I will plead with the Emperor and vacate the position of the Crown Princess.”

Wei Wushuang looked at Shu Yuwans suspiciously, “Oh? Miss Shu, have you come to your senses so quickly?”

Shu Yuwans nodded, “I will inform my father and mother and go to the palace with Miss Wei.”

Wei Wushuang felt both joy and disbelief. Originally, the Wei family was also planning to take action against this Shu family girl, but her father had said to wait after hearing that Liu Erniang from the Xiangyang Marquis’s mansion had been married off. However, she couldn’t wait. In just over two months, the Crown Prince will marry the Shu family girl!

Since she was very young, her family had told her that she was different from ordinary girls and would marry the Crown Prince in the future, becoming the mother of a nation.

While other girls were chasing butterflies, she was learning poetry and dance.

While other girls were boating, she was learning music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

While other girls were socializing, she was learning etiquette and manners.

From a young age, she was one of the most distinguished noblewomen in the capital. She was also the Empress’s niece. Shouldn’t the position of Empress be hers?

But he is her cousin, the Crown Prince, refused to marry her. He said he wanted to wait a bit longer. She waited, but at eighteen, she was ready, and the Crown Prince wanted to marry someone else as the Crown Princess!

Moreover, after the engagement with the Shu family, the Crown Prince suddenly woke up.

She didn’t dare not let the Crown Prince marry the Shu family girl, but being a concubine was the same. Why did the Emperor want to marry a divorced woman to the Crown Prince as the main wife?

So she came over try to persuade Shu Yuwan.
