Chapter 118 Prince Shinzi’s Wedding

Zheng Changping learned about the situation and called Shu Yuting over, giving her a stern lecture.

Coming from a prestigious family, Shu Yuting was the eldest daughter in the family and seemed fine in the women’s quarters. However, after marrying her off, they realized that while she handled small matters well, she often struggled with more significant issues.

It was truly a headache for her.

With no support from her maternal or marital families, Shu Yuting felt very disheartened. She was only trying to do what was best for Yange and for his              future. Why couldn’t they understand her?

Thinking about Yange’s willingness, Shu Yuting became even more agitated. Setting aside other concerns, she didn’t want to spend her days dealing with a princess daughter-in-law.

Watching herself turn from a bride into a mother-in-law over the next ten years, with no say in anything, was not something she wanted.

Seeing that her elder sister hadn’t returned and hadn’t gone back to the Emperor to change her stance, Shu Yuwan assumed that a decision had been made. In just a few days, the imperial decree for the marriage arrived at the Yongchang’s Mansion.

The whole family joyfully received the imperial decree.

Shu Yuwan let go of the matter.

…

Chen Gongzi went to see his sister pondered and eventually knocked on his sister’s courtyard door.

Seeing his brother’s hesitant demeanor, Chen Shiyi chuckled, “Hey, brother, is it you who’s getting married, or is it me?”

“Hehe, it’s definitely you getting married. You and Shinzi are doing well together.”

Chen Shiyi said helplessly, “Brother, what are you talking about?”

Changing the subject, she asked, “What did you want to say today?”

Embarrassed, Chen Gongzi said, “Well, if I used to tease a girl, made her angry, and she dislikes me, but now I kind of want to marry her, and her family background has improved. How can I change her impression of me?”

Chen Shiyi had a sudden realization after hearing this.

No wonder her brother had suddenly changed recently. Their mother even said it must be because he was always with Prince Shinzi and was influenced by him!

The root of the issue lay here.

Upon hearing about the improved family background, Chen Shiyi immediately understood, “The girl newly recognized by the Duke of Wei’s household?”

Chen Gongzi nodded, “Sister, you’re really smart!”

Chen Shiyi laughed, “You explained it so clearly, how could I not know?”

“Sister, as a young lady, give me some advice.”

Chen Shiyi thought for a moment and said, “Brother, there’s no need to rush. The Duke of Wei has just recognized the girl, so she won’t marry her off too soon.”

Brother, take advantage of this time to buy some gifts. The value is secondary; the main thing is sincere preparation. Apologize to Miss Wei with sincerity and seek for her forgiveness.”

Chen Gongzi, seeing that his sister and Prince Shinzi said the same thing, thought to himself that indeed they were a couple. Before leaving, he added, “Sister, you and Shinzi will surely live harmoniously in the future.” With that, he swiftly left the mansion and headed to the street.

Initially, Lianzhi avoided Chen Gongzi upon seeing him.

Later, realizing her new status as the daughter of the Duke of Wei, she no longer feared that annoying guy!

She was prepared to confront Chen Gongzi!

To her surprise, when they met, Chen Gongzi apologized in a low voice, leaving her stunned.

Soon, it was the day of Prince Shinzi’s grand wedding.

As the Emperor’s only legitimate nephew, the wedding was grand.

Shu Yuwan and the Crown Prince arrived at Prince Shinzi’s Mansion. Everyone stood up to pay their respects. The Crown Prince called out and, together with Shu Yuwan, went forward to congratulate Prince Shinzi and her grandmother.

Then, together with Shu Yuwan, they paid respects to Mrs. Changning, saying, “Greetings, Aunt.”

Mrs. Changning smiled and said, “You two have taken your time, but you’re finally married.”

After exchanging pleasantries, they all took their seats. Soon, the wedding procession returned, and amidst cheers, the groom led the bride into the house.

Prince Shinzi, dressed in a bright red wedding attire, saw the Crown Prince and Shu Yuwan sitting on the side, but his expression remained unchanged.

Seeing her well-off and content life, he felt satisfied.

Turning to the bride with the red veil, he couldn’t help but say, “Watch your step.”

After the ceremony, as the groom escorted the bride to the bridal chamber and returned, he was surrounded by a group of rowdy young men.

Prince Shinzi, known for his elegance in the capital, though he had toned it down later, was still popular among the young men. With the wedding, he naturally had to endure some drinking games.

The Crown Prince chuckled, “It seems our cousin may not be sober enough to meet his bride. Will he start talking nonsense once he enters the bridal chamber?”

Seeing the Crown Prince’s suggestive tone, Shu Yuwan looked at him and said, “Even if Prince Shinzi talks nonsense, it’s just to praise the new bride.”

The Crown Prince felt a bit embarrassed and said, “I should go and help our cousin.”

Shu Yuwan remained neutral, leaving it to the cousinly bond between the Crown Prince and Prince Shinzi. She had nothing more to say and went to sit with the female relatives, including Mrs. Changning.

With the Crown Prince intervening, the young men’s rowdiness subsided. However, as the Crown Prince had actively participated in the drinking, he ended up drinking quite a bit.

Wei Wushuang, who had been keeping an eye on the Crown Prince, saw the situation and walked over to his side.

Amidst the lively atmosphere, one of the young men, emboldened by alcohol, said, “I dare to have a drink with you Your Highness.”

The Crown Prince nodded in agreement, ready to drink. Suddenly, a maid who came to pour the wine took out a sharp dagger from her bosom and lunged towards the Crown Prince!

Wei Wushuang, who was near the Crown Prince, acted swiftly, shouting, “Cousin, move aside!”

She rushed forward to push the Crown Prince away but ended up being stabbed in the chest!

The crowd was shocked!

Seeing the situation, the maid quickly pulled out the dagger from Wei Wushuang’s body and tried to stab the Crown Prince again. However, the Crown Prince’s guards had arrived and managed to stop her.

After removing the dagger, blood gushed out from Wei Wushuang’s body.

The Crown Prince urgently said, “Quick, quick, quick go get a doctor now!”
