Chapter 366: You two are so jealous you
Before Wei Lianhan, two graceful, stunning figures appeared.
The young matron Han Fengxian covered her mouth and giggled nearby, the thorns in her words nearly piercing Wei Lianhan, an innocent passerby.
Standing further ahead was the mature woman, the prestigious Fifth Madam of the Wei family, Wei Lu. Her silhouette alone was captivating, with a slender waist and perky hips.
Never mind men, even she, a woman, felt a thumping heart.
Looking at the tense, sword-drawn atmosphere, Wei Lianhan actually wanted to shrink back into her room.
Last night, these two women had already felt like they were competing for favor in front of Li Chen.
At the time, Wei Lianhan had assumed they were just acting to add some spice to the mood.
Until now, Wei Lianhan felt that they must have truly wanted it yesterday.
"Little sister, why are your words so harsh? I am doing this for our family's great cause. On the contrary, you are dressed so provocatively; if one didn't know better, they'd think you were the top courtesan of some brothel."
Wei Lu retorted, refusing to show weakness.
If Han Fengxian was being sarcastic, Wei Lu was purely hurling insults—no explanation needed, she was calling her a whore.
"Heh, I've never seen a virtuous wife and mother who was shouting to be a mount for His Majesty last night. Big sister, you really are quite skilled."
It seemed that last night, Han Fengxian had occupied less time than Wei Lu, so she was very unconvinced in her heart.
Seeing today that Wei Lu actually intended to sneak out while everyone was still asleep, she directly voiced her inner displeasure.
Fortunately, there was no one nearby; if someone passing by had heard, they might have thought this was the backyard of some brothel.
Wei Lianhan was starving, and standing here was not a solution. Just as she intended to go find something to eat, she was mistaken by these two women as trying to sneak away.
Their firepower immediately focused on Wei Lianhan. Things like "Little sister really can't hold back for even a moment" and "You were the loudest last night" left Wei Lianhan dumbfounded.
This can be dragged to me? You two are so jealous you've gone into qi deviation!
Seeing that things were about to spiral out of control, Wei Lianhan didn't yield either, directly speaking up: "Two big sisters, let's stop here. I don't have a husband."
The meaning of this sentence was: If you two continue like this, I will tell your men.
One sentence rendered them both mute.
If Wei Lianhan were to spread such things, they might both need to find a place to bury themselves.
Suddenly, they had the illusion of "I actually still have a husband."
Perhaps they had been too happy recently and had forgotten this point.
Wei Lianhan found it a headache to see this. Perhaps you two have even forgotten what your original purpose was?
However, as one of the parties involved, Wei Lianhan could also understand their feelings.
In one moment, that is, when Wei Lianhan and Li Chen were communicating alone, she indeed had thought, if Li Chen were not the Emperor of the Li clan, how good that would be.
At the very least, she could not find a second man with better conditions than Li Chen.
In the past, when Wei Lianhan read biographies of some figures, she didn't understand why some women would fall in love with the enemy who wiped out their entire clan.
In her view, wasn't this just blind writing? Such people could not exist.
If she had an enemy, she would definitely grind them to dust.
But the past was the past, and now is now.
Wei Lianhan could already empathize with that forbidden feeling.
Knowing clearly that there was absolutely no possibility between Li Chen and herself, she still couldn't help but think about it.
Even when she was just sleeping, her dreams were filled with Li Chen's unparalleled divine face.
Just as she had just said, she had no husband, not even a boyfriend.
Li Chen was the first man she had contact with, and this man was so outstanding; how could she not have ideas?
When Wei Manping came over, she saw three women standing there and asked what they were doing.
These three finally came to their senses, saying they were making preparations, and then each went about their own business.
After Wei Lu and the others left, Wei Manping gazed into the distance at the Jiang family, her heart even more complicated.
However, her utilitarianism was still relatively heavy; she hadn't been completely conquered by Li Chen yet.
By the fifth day, the Second Young Master of the Wei family, Wei Yu, and Pan Chengwu and others still felt like they were sitting on pins and needles.
Every extra second their wives stayed at the Jiang Fu was an ordeal for them.
Just as they were waiting, the female relatives of the Wei Fu returned as usual, letting them all breathe a sigh of relief.
After Pan Chengwu sent his wife back to her room to rest, he arrived at the hall with a furious expression!
"What is wrong with you? What happened?"
Wei Yu sensed the irritable pulse technique fluctuations and walked over.
At this moment, Pan Chengwu's eyes were already filled with bloodshot veins, full of killing intent.
"That damn dog emperor, he actually did this to Lu'er..."
According to his account, just now when Wei Lu was resting, he inadvertently saw that there were ligature marks on Wei Lu's hands and neck, as if she had been bound.
In his mind, he had already fantasized about Li Chen's brutal appearance!
He usually couldn't bear to touch her, yet Li Chen played like this!
The more he thought, the angrier he became. Pan Chengwu grabbed a knife and was about to walk out of the Jiang Fu.
That feeling was as if he were going to fight Li Chen to the death.
However, the most wronged person here was Li Chen; last night, it was Wei Lu herself who proposed it, saying it was to add a bit of spice.
Seeing this, the others hurriedly stopped Wei Mingde. With more than a dozen men pulling and dragging, even Wei Manying's father, Wei Mingde, came personally to persuade him, and only then did they manage to calm him down slightly.
"You are no longer young; you must prioritize the big picture, prioritize the big picture."
Wei Mingde kept saying this sentence with a smile.
He still thought his status in the Wei family was very high and that the words he spoke would be listened to by the backbone of the Wei family.
But when Pan Chengwu heard him say this, he became even angrier.
Your wife didn't go, so of course you prioritize the big picture.
The more he thought this way, the more Pan Chengwu refused to accept it.
It couldn't be that only he alone suffered a loss.
One must know, to be able to give birth to two such peerless beauties as Wei Manying and Wei Manping, Wei Mingde's wife was naturally also of celestial appearance, uniquely gifted.
Originally, since Wei Manping went, others couldn't say much.
But now, Wei Mingde's "cool words" made Pan Chengwu unhappy. Since you say prioritize the big picture, then just wait.
Seeing Wei Mingde sitting there, everyone thought he had already calmed down, but who knew what bad ideas he was thinking of.
On the sixth day, Pan Chengwu felt more and more that his wife was becoming increasingly alluring, as if she had become much younger.
It made him very tempted. While his wife was eating in the room, Pan Chengwu said flatteringly: "Look, you've been going for so many days, why not take a day off today?"
Wei Lu had just been thinking about what tricks she should pull today to attract the gaze of Emperor Li Chen.
Hearing her husband's words, she reacted and said solemnly: "Chengwu, I know you care for me, but this is also to speed up the progress. If I don't go, His Majesty will be displeased, and wouldn't the plan we've persisted with until now be in vain?"
One sentence left Pan Chengwu feeling somewhat embarrassed.
After thinking it over, Pan Chengwu tentatively said: "That, we are husband and wife after all, look, why not give me half an hour, or ten minutes would also be fine."
