Chapter 459 If I keep listening, my skin will peel off!
Grandmother Ren asked, "The princess is here, shall we go and pay our respects?"
Wen Lanmin glared at Wen Lanling, her eyes seemingly asking, "Big sister knew the princess was here, why didn't you say anything?" The latter simply shrugged, indicating that she couldn't help!
"Grandmother, the princess is traveling incognito. Hehehe, it's not advisable to make a fuss about it."
Wenwen paused for a moment, then continued, "Mother, the princess said it's fine, she doesn't mind, she's just worried that it might cause inconvenience to everyone."
"Is there anything inconvenient for this child?"
Grandmother Wen said, "Eldest daughter-in-law, put up a screen in the main hall later to separate the girls. It's a big festival, so it'll be more lively and they'll eat more together."
"Yes, yes, that's it." Everyone else agreed.
When Madam Ren saw that Wenwen was standing still, she said, "Daughter, just say what you have to say all at once. Don't make your mother guess. I'm getting old and can't stand your ever-changing ideas."
Wenwen thought to herself, "I just heard some old-fashioned talk coming from inside the house when I came over, but my mother has already forgotten about it. Humph, they say a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea, and that's really true!"
Wenwen: "Mother, the princess wants to meet with her eldest brother and have a chat."
"Huh? I'm seeing Dalang?"
"Let's talk?"
Every woman in the room was astonished!
It seems that the Sixth Princess is indeed as rumored: resilient and decisive. Fortunately, she has always been favored by the Empress Dowager; otherwise, such a straightforward personality would certainly not have been easy for her in the palace.
"Then, go to the study and call your elder brother."
After a few moments of thought, Madam Ren asked, "Would you like Mother to accompany me?"
Wenwen quickly waved her hand: "No need, no need. With Mom here, my older brother probably doesn't even dare to breathe. We sisters can protect him."
After saying that, Wenwen turned and slipped away, leaving a room full of women chattering away.
"Strange, it's actually the eldest son who's shy."
"Sons are no longer under their mother's control once they grow up; let them make their own decisions!"
"Yes, young people have their own world, so let's step aside!"
"..."
......
On the way to the greenhouse.
"Little sister, what should your elder brother say?" Wen Chengjian asked.
Wen Chengjian blushed deeply, his ears turning a deep red as if dripping blood.
Wenwen just came to the study to explain the reason.
Everyone in the study looked at him with mocking eyes, almost to the point of jeering, especially his uncle, who was about to burst into laughter.
If Wenwen hadn't pulled him out of the study in time, the teasing from everyone would probably have continued for ages.
Wenwen thought for a moment and said, "Big brother, just remember one thing: whatever you say should be for the princess's sake, and treat her with sincerity."
Consider their feelings and treat them with sincerity!
He can definitely do that.
With this thought, Wen Chengjian felt much more at ease.
Liaoyu, who was waiting outside the greenhouse, saw the two siblings and nodded to Wenwen from a distance, sending away all the nearby maids.
"Big brother, this way."
Soon, Wenwen and her brother entered the greenhouse compartment.
Inside the room, Yao Maimai was sitting with the Sixth Princess.
"Wencheng Jian greets the princess." Wencheng Jian returned the greeting.
"Young Master Wen, please excuse the formalities and take a seat."
Then, Wen Chengjian sat down in the lower chair, looking down at his nose and contemplating his own thoughts.
"Ahem!" Yao Maimai coughed lightly. "Nannan, Wenwen and I are waiting outside. Just call out if you need anything."
After saying that, Yao Maimai pulled Wenwen out the door, put her arm around Wenwen's shoulder, and led her to peek into the house from the edge of the doorway.
"Ouch, loosen your grip a bit."
Wenwen slapped her hand off her shoulder and whispered, "Are you going to use a chokehold? Why are you gripping it so tightly? If you're curious, just look openly. Why are you looking so furtive?"
“Hehe, it’s more fun to eavesdrop while lying down, you wouldn’t understand the enjoyment,” Yao Maimai said.
"Shh—" Wenwen gestured for her to be quiet.
The atmosphere in the room was a bit puzzling. It seemed that Wen Chengjian was breathing heavily and trying to control his emotions. Presumably, something the princess said had angered him. Fortunately, Wen Chengjian was not too bad-tempered and did not lose control of his emotions. His voice was just a little muffled: "Why did the princess say that? I had no such intention."
"Young Master Wen, please calm down."
The Sixth Princess slowly recounted, "As you know, my legs are a chronic ailment. I have sought medical help countless times, but to no avail."
"Forcing my brother to grant us this marriage is already unfair to the Wen family, and I feel even more guilty towards you. Therefore, I can promise that you can take a concubine after the marriage. If the time is right, I am willing to divorce you. This would be good for both the Wen family and you!"
"call--"
Wen Chengjian adjusted his emotions, suppressed his frustration, looked up at the Sixth Princess, and said firmly, "His Majesty has bestowed this marriage upon me. The princess is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wen family, and my wife. There is no concept of equal wives in the Wen family, let alone divorce."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "The princess's leg is not incurable, it's just that we haven't found a renowned doctor yet. I'm sure the princess has heard that the medical skills of Medicine King Valley are extremely superb. I'll go to the temple to seek medical help for the princess later."
Uh!
The sixth princess looked at the serious expression on her future husband's face, and her heart skipped a beat for no reason. But it was only for a moment. The next instant, the princess regained her composure, sat up straight, and the tips of her ears turned slightly red.
For a moment, the room fell silent, with only the sound of their breathing audible.
Yao Maimai and Wenwen, who were eavesdropping outside the door, exchanged a glance and communicated with each other through their eyes.
Yao Maimai: A man's mouth is a deceitful devil; the ancients were right.
Wenwen: My older brother is such an upright young man. When he meets a girl he likes, he will lie, and he can do it without blushing or skipping a beat. What a talent!
Yao Maimai: Humph! And he even righteously claimed to be going to the temple to seek medical treatment for the princess.
Wenwen: I think this opportunity for treatment must be reserved for my older brother; no one else is allowed to take it away.
Just then, Wen Chengjian spoke from inside the room.
"Princess, do you know what a monk is?"
Wen Chengjian regained his voice and asked, "Does the princess wish to go to Qingfeng City?"
Cultivators? Qingfeng City?
Isn't this from my mother's letter?
The sixth princess shook her head and nodded, her eyes wide as she looked at Wen Chengjian. Caught off guard, they both saw their own reflections in each other's eyes.
The first stirrings of affection can happen in an instant.
An inexplicable atmosphere of ambiguous joy filled the room.
Yao Maimai, who was leaning against the door, reached out and pinched Wenwen's arm.
"hiss!"
Wenwen slapped the hand away and glared angrily, "Why did you pinch me?"
"I suspect I'm dreaming. I saw bamboo blush. Look!"
Yao Maimai pointed at the people in the room and whispered, "Do you think this girl has a bit of a crush on my older cousin? Hehe, things are looking promising!"
Wen Chengjian heard every word of what the two people outside the door said.
Since there's a chance, shouldn't he seize the initiative?
Wen Chengjian had studied under Grand Tutor Zhou for quite some time, and he was no ignorant child. He understood immediately and said, "I will take up some of your time, Princess, and give you a brief explanation of cultivators and Qingfeng City."
"Okay, you say."
The sixth princess was instantly intrigued and involuntarily leaned forward a little, shortening the distance between her and Wen Chengjian.
Don't underestimate this small distance; it at least shows that the Sixth Princess isn't so resistant to contacting Wencheng Sword.
Upon reaching this conclusion, Wen Chengjian's deep voice revealed a hint of joy.
Wenwen and Yao Maimai, who were eavesdropping outside the door, couldn't help but pick at their ears. How could a young man just beginning to experience love make such a deep voice?
"Alright, let's walk a few steps further away, it's getting cold."
Wenwen rubbed the goosebumps on her arms as she turned around and said.
Yao Maimai covered her mouth and chuckled, "Okay, okay, let's go, let's go! If we keep listening, my skin will peel off! Hehehe!"
