Chapter 121 Enfeoffment of the Princess

On the second day, Wei Wushuang’s condition stabilized somewhat, and Mrs. Luo brought Wei Wushuang back to the Wei State Duke’s Mansion.

Palace sent people to express their gratitude and also sent precious medicinal materials.

Although it was highly likely that the Crown Prince would marry a daughter into the Palace, the Crown Prince had not given a definite answer, which made Mrs. Lou somewhat anxious.

Wei Wushuang woke up once in between, but most of the time, she was in a state of unconsciousness.

It wasn’t until Hong Gonggong arrived with the imperial decree that Mr. Guogong and Mrs. Lou felt reassured.

Hong Gonggong calmly read out the imperial decree.

Mr. Guogong and Mrs. Lou were somewhat incredulous!

Princess Wei Wushuang?

What would their Wei Wushuang do with the title of a princess!

Mr. Wei Gougong could barely maintain his composure, and after politely seeing off Hong Gonggong, his expression darkened.

Mrs. Lou couldn’t help but shed tears.

“Why are both my daughters destined for such hardship? How can the Crown Prince be so heartless? For him, Wushuang is willing to give up even her life. She’s lying in bed unable to move, yet he’s unwilling to marry her. He can marry Yuwan, but Wushuang, who is incomparable to Yuwan, is being sent off as a princess.”

Lianzhi happened to come to visit Wei Wushuang and overheard these words as soon as she entered.

She inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s better if the Crown Prince doesn’t marry, otherwise, she wouldn’t know how to face Sister Yuwan.

But she didn’t understand why being made a princess was considered a bad thing. After all, that’s a princess!

Mr. Wei Gougong’s expression was also grim, and he interjected, “Enough, the Crown Prince has his own plans. Don’t say things that shouldn’t be said.” After greeting Lianzhi, he turned and left.

Mrs. Lou also composed herself and greeted Lianzhi with a forced smile, “Wuyou is here, let’s go see your sister together.”

Lianzhi nodded and followed Mrs. Lou.

In fact, she was more accustomed to being called Lianzhi by others, but at the Wei Duke daughter she’s not comportable, everyone called her Wuyou. But, Lianzhi didn’t mind and accepted being called Wuyou.

On the way, Mrs. Lou said, “Wuyou, why don’t you move to the Duke’s Mansion to live? You’re fourteen this year, and it’s time to start considering marriage. The time you can be by my side always. You’ve been with the Ji family for fourteen years, but you’ve only been with me for two years.”

Perhaps due to their blood connection, Lianzhi felt a bit sentimental listening to Mrs. Lou’s words of sadness.

However, she couldn’t get used to living in the Duke’s Mansion, and she couldn’t bear to leave her parents.

So she replied, “Madam, I’m used to living in the Ji Mansion. I will come to visit you often.”

Perhaps still affected by Wei Wushuang’s situation, Mrs. Lou’s emotions hadn’t fully recovered. She had been able to control her emotions before and was planning to persuade Lianzhi slowly. But now, she suddenly broke down, grabbing Lianzhi’s sleeve and crying, “Wuyou, you still call me Madam. Do you not forgive me? It was my fault back then. You were so young when I lost you. All of these years, I’ve always thought of you.”

“Now that I’ve finally found you, you won’t even call me mother. It’s my retribution!”

Mrs. Lou didn’t even maintain her composure, crying uncontrollably.

Lianzhi had never seen Mrs. Lou like this before and felt a bit flustered. She quickly reassured, “I don’t blame you, really, I don’t blame you.”

Mrs. Lou cried, “Then call me mother.”

Lianzhi awkwardly responded, “Mother…”

Only then did Mrs. Lou stop crying, wiping her tears with a smile, “Good, good, good, my Wuyou finally acknowledges me.”

Lianzhi hurriedly said, “Let’s go see my sister.”

Mrs. Lou nodded, holding Lianzhi’s hand, and they went to Wei Wushuang’s room.

Hong Gonggong returned to the palace.

The Emperor asked, “How is it?”

Hong Gonggong lowered his head and cautiously replied, “Miss Wei is still unconscious, not awake. Mr. Wei Gougong seems fine, but the Mrs. Lou doesn’t seem too happy.”

“I understand.”

Over the years, due to the Empress relationship, he had been very tolerant towards the Wei Family. Even though he knew Mr. Wei Gougong had done things he shouldn’t have, he turned a blind eye to it, pretending not to see.

But even if Xiaoxian were alive, he would never let anyone threaten Jin Er.

The Emperor asked again, “Have you found out who was behind the assassination attempt on the Crown Prince?”

Hong Gonggong helplessly replied, “Your Majesty, not yet.”

…

In the Ning’s Mansion, despite the Prince grand  Shinzi wedding yesterday, the atmosphere in the mansion was not good.

After the Crown Prince was attacked in Ning Mansion, regardless of the circumstances, they couldn’t escape the connection. King Ning Wang had already been summoned by the Emperor and scolded severely. People from the palace and the Ministry of Justice repeatedly came to inquire and investigate.

Ning Wang and Wang Fei were rarely together.

Ning Wang complained, “How do you manage the mansion? Even assassins can sneak in. Is there a day when someone wants to kill me, and I’ll lose my life without even knowing?”

Wang Fei said softly, “You’ve given me a good idea.”

Chen Shiyi, who was sitting below, felt quite awkward.

Although she knew that the relationship between her in-laws was not good, witnessing their argument in front of her made her unsure how to act. She couldn’t help but look at Shinzi beside her.

Shinzi didn’t mind at all; he was used to it. But seeing Chen Shiyi uncomfortable, he interrupted, “If there’s nothing important, Shiyi and I will leave first. You two can continue arguing.”

Shinzi intended to get angry but restrained himself.

He said seriously, “The maid who tried to assassinate the Crown Prince is the daughter of a palace maid I brought out of the palace when I established the mansion. The palace maid passed away a few years ago, and her father, brought by your mother, is also no longer alive. This girl has been living peacefully in the mansion without any anything.”

Wang Fei said, “But, I don’t think she doesn’t have anything.”

“The fact that both of them died so early is quite abnormal.”
