Wei Qingwan contentedly rested her head on Qi Zhen’s chest.
At this moment, she felt extremely at ease and fulfilled.
Then, Qi Zhen suddenly asked, “Is your sister Wei Qingruo working for the Seventh Prince?”
Weiqingwan lifted her head, feeling very displeased that Qi Zhen mentioned Wei Qingruo.
In her eyes, Qi Zhen was her light, providing her warmth and rescuing her from the abyss. On the other hand, Wei Qingruo was the person she disliked the most currently, being the one who put her in a difficult situation.
Wei Qingwan cautiously asked, “Why does Master Qi ask about my sister?”
“What I mean is, if she is working for the Seventh Prince, it may impact our affairs. You know I am related to the Sixth Prince, and the relationship between the Seventh Prince and my cousin is…’1
Even ordinary civilians who don’t understand politics somewhat know about the rivalry between the Sixth and Seventh Princes, let alone Wei Qingwan, who was born in an earl’s family.
Wei Qingwan hurriedly explained, “My sister is not working for the Seventh Prince. She is working for Princess Jingmin. The whole of Taizhou prefecture participated in this disaster relief initiative—the Seventh Prince is just one among them. It really can’t count as her working for the Seventh Prince.”
”Oh? In that case, I am relieved.” Qi Zhen’s smile was warm.
“Mmm.” Wei Qingwan nodded. Her heart felt a little more relaxed.
Then Qi Zhen nonchalantly said, “It would be even better if your sister could help the Sixth Prince.”
“Why do you say so, Master Qi?” Wei Qingwan’s heart tensed immediately.
“Now that the emperor has sent the Sixth Prince to offer disaster relief in Jiangnan, he really needs help. If the Wei family could help the Sixth Prince succeed, it would be very beneficial for your family and our relationship in the future.” Qi Zhen explained.
Wei Qingwan pursed her lips upon hearing this; her eyes full of complex emotions.
Then Qi Zhen smiled brilliantly and said, “Don’t worry about it. I just mentioned it. Our matters should be worked out by us, we can’t count on others. Especially your sister—it’s her business what she does, it’s not right to interfere.”
Wei Qingwan nodded slightly, her mind filled with countless thoughts.
Qi Zhen comforted her, “Don’t overthink it. Although I have a bad reputation outside, my father can never withstand me. As long as I persist, he will surely agree.”
“Mmm.” Wei Qingwan responded softly. Qi Zhen’s comfort was helpful, but deep down, she still felt slightly uneasy.
After chatting for a while, Qizhen left.
After Qi Zhen left, Wei Qingwan sat alone in the room, her face still solemn.
Cuihe smiled and asked, “Miss, Master Qi left so many gifts for you. He also said he would find a way to convince your father to take you back. Why do you still look so worried?”
Weiqingwan did not respond to Cuihe’s words but instead glanced at the items that Qi Zhen had sent over.
She then told Cuihe, “Pick some valuable things that I won’t use and sell them. Then, help me find some medicine that can remove scars.”
Cuihe hurriedly nodded, “This slave will go handle it.”
After Cuihe left, Wei Qingwan’s brow still hadn’t relaxed; she was continuously thinking about Qi Zhen’s words.
Wei Qingwan not only didn’t hope that Wei Qingruo would be of help to her marriage with Master Qi, but she also didn’t want Wei Qingruo to work for the Sixth Prince. She even didn’t want Wei Qingruo to have any contact with the Sixth Prince or Master Qi and others.
So, she wouldn’t tell Wei Qingruo anything about Master Qi’s proposal from earlier.
When it comes to her marriage to Master Qi, she believes in Master Qi and doesn’t need Wei Qingruo’s help.
