Chapter 9 - I want Hugh

Xiao Qingqian naturally didn't say anything more. When he saw Prime Minister Wei's pair of downcast eyes, he could only keep silent.

At this time, Bi Yao brought Tian Sisi to the front hall.

Under the light of the candle flame, his face was as white as paper.

When they had entered the Prince Chu's great wedding at the same time, the matter had already spread like wildfire. If not for Wei Qing's insistence on marrying Xiao Qingqian back then, the Prime Minister Wei would not have been subjected to such vexation!

When he saw Tian Sisi this time, Prime Minister Wei's eyes were filled with anger and disgust.

”My prince, my heart is really concerned about the sudden calamity that has befallen Elder Sister Princess.”

”Si'er, your body is weak. Don't try to be brave. Go back and rest!”

Tian Sisi shook her head and looked at Xiao Qingqian with misty eyes.

”Outsiders say that I have stolen the prince's love, and wish that I could become a charming fox spirit. But I am the same as the Elder Sister Princess, so I want to properly love the prince!”

Tian Sisi's words, would have easily been heard by anyone saying that she was righteous and did not seek to be pampered, but Prime Minister Wei only had one thought in mind: Wei Qing had indeed suffered a huge grievance in Prince Chu’s Mansion!

This Tian Sisi had retreated in order to advance, what was displayed in front of others was her understanding, her forbearance, and her magnanimity, but who would have known, that the more she acted this way, the deeper the stab went!

”Master, please don't believe the words of this wicked woman!” Die'er pointed angrily at her. ”Previously, it was because she slandered Eldest Miss that Your Highness forbade her from doing so!”

Forbidden foot?

Boom — —

It was as if thunder exploded in the Prime Minister Wei's mind as he coldly stared at Tian Sisi. His gaze slowly shifted to Xiao Qingqian's face, ”Your Highness, regarding Qing'er, this old subject will send people to look for her. There's no need for Your Highness to do so!”

With that, Prime Minister Wei walked away. Die'er glared at Tian Sisi fiercely and followed her with quick steps.

After getting on the carriage, Prime Minister Wei's face was livid, he did not say a word the entire time.

Although Die'er wanted to tell him about the grievances that Wei Qing had suffered in the Prince Chu’s Mansion, he didn't dare to do so.

”Eldest Miss?!” Die'er rubbed her eyes and rushed in front of Wei Qing, ”It's really you!”

Wei Qing frowned, she faintly felt that this time's matter would be very serious.

The Prime Minister Wei quickly sized Wei Qing up from top to bottom. Suppressing the complicated feelings in his heart, he said in a low voice, ”Let's talk inside!”

Just as he entered the hall, Prime Minister Wei ordered people to prepare food for Wei Qing.

Wei Qing looked at him with a beaming smile, ”Father, don't look at me like that, it makes me feel extremely pressured!”

”Qing`er, why are you hiding this from your father?”

Prime Minister Wei only married a single wife in his life and had deep feelings for Madame Wei. He only had a few sons and a daughter. After the death of Madame Wei, he had never even thought about taking in a concubine.

His son Wei Jingnan was guarding the border, and he only had Wei Qing as his only daughter by his side, so he naturally doted on her. Otherwise, he wouldn't have helped to arrange the marriage between Xiao Qingqian and Wei Qing.

Wei Qing blinked, glancing at Die'er, and had already guessed that Die'er must have told Prime Minister Wei everything.

”Father, didn't I fear that you would worry?” Wei Qing smiled at him.

The self-blame and worry in Prime Minister Wei's eyes grew even more intense.

Perhaps he was wrong to help her marry the Prince Chu back then!

”Qing`er, since something like this has happened today, you might as well leave this Prince Chu alone!”

He Li?!

Wei Qing's eyes were sore, and a huge wave of warmth surged in her heart.

In ancient times, once a woman was married, it was as if the water was poured out. If she was abandoned by her husband's family, it would truly be a disgrace to her.
