Chapter 62 Boredom

Shu Yuwan looked at the gifts sent by the Crown Prince, all of them exquisite. There were many items for children, including valuable items like gold necklaces and jade pendants, as well as toys like bamboo dragonflies, tumbling dolls, tambourines, and tangram puzzles.

It was evident that a lot of thought had gone into it.

However, does the concept of a predestined marriage make the Crown Prince care for her?

And a predestined marriage?

Even if she were reborn, she found it hard to believe. If she truly was destined for the Crown Prince, why did she marry An Shaoyu in her previous life?

What is the Crown Prince’s true feeling for her?

In the evening, Shu Yuwang returned to the residence, and Shu Yuwan had him summoned.

“Yes Future Crown Princess, what did you call me here for?” Shu Yuwang joked as he entered.

Shu Yuwan chuckled, “When did big brother start acting like second brother?”

“Haha, I’m just happy.”

“Big brother, what is the Crown Prince’s Thoughts?”

Shu Yuwang was surprised, “You don’t know?”

Shu Yuwan was puzzled, “What should I know?”

After the Crown Prince woke up, Shu Yuwang went to the Palace. Seeing the Crown Prince, who would soon be his brother-in-law, even though the Grand Master had said that his sister and the Crown Prince were destined for each other, and after they had agreed to the engagement, the Crown Prince woke up quickly.

But all of this happened while the Crown Prince was unconscious. As the heir to the throne, marrying his sister who had been married to An Shaoyu made him uneasy.

“Your Highness?”

At that time, the Crown Prince teased him, “What does my elder brother want from me?”

“Your Highness, do you truly not mind?”

The Crown Prince asked, “Mind what?”

“My sister… My sister was previously married to the An Shaoyu. Any man with a bit of background would mind, let alone Your Highness.”

The Crown Prince smiled, “This is what your sister asked for. I owe her a favor that she wouldn’t let me repay, so I had to find a way to offer myself.”

He was extremely surprised at that moment!

He thought that the Crown Prince already had feeling for her sister.

And according to the Crown Prince, all of this was his way of proposing to his sister.

He also felt that his sister had kept it a secret from him very well, not letting anything slip.

But now, his sister was asking him if he knew what the Crown Prince was thinking?

Was all of this the Crown Prince’s doing alone?

Shu Yuwang hesitated. Should he say it or not?

In the end, he said to Yuwan, “Rest assured, the Crown Prince is not a narrow-minded person. He has no dissatisfaction with this marriage, and one could even say he is quite pleased.” Seeing Shu Yuwan still looking at him, he added, “As for the specifics, when you go there in the future, you and your husband can discuss it.”

With the tentative words and the fact that the Crown Prince had not shown any signs of dissatisfaction, Shu Yuwan temporarily felt relieved.

Madam Shu had already started preparing the dowry for Shu Yuwan.

Although she had been married once before, preparing for another marriage, especially a royal one, required meticulous planning. In addition the dowry that the Anding Marquis family gave to Shu Yuwan was brought back. Madam Shu took out everything she had saved and added it to Shu Yuwan’s dowry.

The Ministry of Rites also sent people over to teach Shu Yuwan court etiquette.

Fortunately, the bridal gown and head covering did not need to be prepared by the Shu family. The Crown Princess’s bridal gown and head covering were made in the palace and sent over when ready, so Shu Yuwan only needed to make some final adjustments.

After organizing things a few times, Madam Shu asked Shu Yuwan, “How do you plan to handle the people brought into the palace?”

“Qing Dai refuses to marry, so she will accompany me into the palace.”

“Qing He has already been promised to someone by her family. Since it was originally intended for marriage, she can leave.”

Madam Shu nodded, “Qing Dai is calm and suitable for the palace. However, one person is not enough; you need to select more people.”

“I’ll consider it.”

In the evening, after putting Wenyue to sleep, Shu Yuwan felt a bit bored.

Previously, Wenyue had been put to bed by her babysitter. Since the marriage bestowed by the Emperor, Shu Yuwan had started accompanying Wenyue to sleep. After all, she only had less than five months left to spend time with Wenyue.

Originally, once the Crown Prince ascended the throne, the Shu family could have continued living peacefully, and she wouldn’t have to be separated from Wenyue. But if she became the Crown Princess, the future was uncertain. Would a divorced Crown Princess like her be able to secure her position in the future?

If she couldn’t maintain her position, it could spell disaster for the Shu family, possibly even more tragic than in her previous life.

She couldn’t understand how she had become the Crown Prince’s predestined marriage partner.

In the Anding Marquis residence,

Zhao Qing Qing had been worrying about the declining business and had been out all day.

These days, she rarely went out because every time she did, she faced malicious glances and ridicule.

She had had enough.

After finally settling down at home, she found that An Shaoyu was often out.

Moreover, An Shaoyu rarely touched her now.

Zhao Qing Qing couldn’t help but suspect. One day, when An Shaoyu went out, Zhao Qing Qing secretly followed him from a distance.

She saw An Shaoyu indeed enter a restaurant and drink with some friends.

Zhao Qing Qing couldn’t help but feel suspicious of herself.

She knew how devoted An Shaoyu was to her. He was willing to endure the ridicule of the people in the capital and divorce for her.

Even when she sent away the maid who had supposedly been with him since childhood, he only got angry once and then never mentioned it again.

She must have been too preoccupied with recent troubles to be so suspicious.

Talking about predestined fate.

It was simply absurd!

She didn’t believe in predestined marriage!

The Crown Prince must have been bribed!

Maybe the poison that affected the Crown Prince was administered by someone from the Shu family. They first gained the Crown Prince’s trust, then poisoned him!
