Chapter 177 - 175. Dragon Child I (1/2)
Third-person POV
Hong er was talking to Xue Lang when Weisheng out of nowhere appeared behind her. Xue Lang almost choked on his saliva meanwhile Hong er smiled brightly seeing her husband had finished his important meeting. She patted the seat beside her and spoke with a cheerful voice.
Hong er: ”Come here~ come here~ Take a seat. I made a Liang Gao to beat some of the summer heat.” (Liang Gao is a traditional Han dessert popular in Beijing area. With soft, fresh and delicious tastes, it is often eaten during summer. This snack is also popular in Yibin city, Sichuan province. But different from that of Beijing, it is made of rice and brown sugar.)
Weisheng: ”En.”
Weisheng sat down and scooped up some of the white rice rake then put it in his mouth.
Hong er: ”So, what about Wei Fang Tan?”
Weisheng: ”Guilty.”
Hong er: ”Hoo~ Well, it is good then.”
Weisheng: ”You sly fox.”
Hong er: ”Hehehe~”
Qiyi reported to Weisheng that recently there was a rumor that spread among the nobles ad commoners like fire. It said that Wei Fang Tan tried to take the sister of his fiancée as his concubine too so he could enjoy two beauties at once.
But failed because of the strong sisterhood between Ming Zhu and Ming Yu had. Before Wei Fang Tan could taste Ming Yu, Ming Zhu came in time to save Ming Yu. This rumor was easily believed by the folks as Wei Fang Tan was infamous for his Casanova behavior.
Weisheng could see that Hong er changed the table by altering the attention from Ming Zhu to Wei Fang Tan as it would be easier to solve the problem.
Weisheng: ”Don't you feel bad for blaming all the fault to Wei Fang Tan?”
Hong er's eyes changed drastically and had some killing intent in it, yet she maintained her gentle smile which made it more terrifying to the on-lookers.
Hong er: ”No, not even a little bit.”
Weisheng: ”Why?”
Hong er: ”He assaulted Meiyun so I can't let him go unscattered. Plus, he was the cause of Miss Ming Zhu's anger.”
Weisheng smiled fondly at her and kissed her cheek. He was very proud of his wife that he wanted to lift her up to the sky and let everyone see how cool she is.
This rumor caused Ming Zhu and Wei Fang Tan's engagement to break. At first, Ming Zhu was depressed but the words that Hong er told her beside the lake kept spinning in her head. So she decided to move on and focused on her studies.
Meanwhile, Ming Yu's reputation had gotten better than before as rumors said that she got Hong er on her back. Her siblings became silent and didn't dare to bully her again like how they used to after being lectured by their father.
If their father was scared out of his wit from seeing Hong er, let alone them who didn't have any title nor backing that could compare to Hong er.
A few hours ago, the elderly in Wei family obliged him to convince Weisheng because he worked beside him so his request very likely would be accepted. Wei Yunru who couldn't fight back his elderly, approached Weisheng and hesitantly asked him to be lenient on Wei Fang Tan's punishment as Wei Fang Tan is his cousin.
Weisheng: ”No.”
Wei Yunru had expected to be rejected by Weisheng but he wanted to know the reason.
