Chapter 4

The letter from the Marquis Zhongyong in the capital came suddenly, urgently and urgently. The wedding of the eldest daughter of the Jiang family was just around the corner. Everyone in the family was very busy, so it was decided that Mr. Jiang, who was at home, would send his niece back to Beijing.

Mrs. Jiang Er specially selected a few capable servants to take care of Wei Hanzhang.

My legitimate daughter has been raised by her maternal ancestors for more than ten years, and the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion has never been short of food and clothing. Ships of silver are delivered every year. Wei Hanzhang, who has been raised and raised, is never short of good things.

We were in a hurry to go to the capital. Second Master Jiang had specifically asked us to keep the carriage light and simple. Wei Hanzhang was watching the maids packing their bags when she heard the voice of her third cousin Jiang Shengwen coming from far outside the courtyard.

She walked out of the courtyard and saw the young man standing next to Jiang Shengwen, her eyes brightened: "Gu Yunran!"

The young man named Gu Yunran was wearing a black robe with narrow sleeves. He was standing on the path outside the Azure Pavilion. His eyes were slightly raised, and he was looking at her with a smile.

Different from those gentle and elegant children from aristocratic families, Gu Yunran, who came from the eldest son of the Gu family in Xuzhou, had a flamboyant and wanton temper. Only in front of Wei Hanzhang did he restrain all his stubbornness. He was her gentle and caring little bamboo horse.

Jiang Shengwen shouted, pretending to be unhappy: "Wei Ranran, when I stand in front of you as a big person, can you only see Gu Yunran?"

"I saw it, and I saw you too." Wei Hanzhang reluctantly raised his eyes to look at his cousin, and said with a slight smile: "Third cousin, please go and get busy if you have something to do."

The culture of this dynasty is open, and it is common for unmarried couples to be alone and play together. Gu Yunran and Wei Hanzhang grew up together and are the default unmarried couple of the two families.

Jiang Shengwen had nothing to worry about. He knew that his little cousin would be returning to Beijing tomorrow, and even Gu Yunran had received the news from him.

He raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Okay, I'll go."

As soon as Jiang Shengwen left, Gu Yunran, who had been holding back for a long time, just stretched out his hand when Wei Hanzhang, who had been prepared, ducked sideways.

She looked up at him.

The young man who had accompanied her through the hole in the wall a few years ago was already a head taller than her at some point. He stood tall and straight, and his eyebrows were very handsome. Wei Hanzhang looked at it and thought again of the two things he heard a few days ago. A conversation with a cousin.

Even if she didn't quite believe it, she would be sick if she couldn't get an answer after holding in her frustration for several days.

Wei Hanzhang withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes and asked, "I heard something a few days ago, and now I'm asking you for confirmation. You have to tell me the truth."

Gu Yunran was startled: "Why is it so serious?"

"Did you accept two roommates some time ago?" Wei Hanzhang asked bluntly: "I want to hear the truth."

The smile on Gu Yunran's face slowly disappeared and he remained silent.

"Just tell the truth." Seeing him like this, Wei Hanzhang's heart sank slightly, but his voice became softer and softer: "Gu Yunran, you know I hate people lying to me the most."

Gu Yunran seemed to find it difficult to speak, and remained stiff for a long time before saying: "It was a gift from my mother..."

"So this is true?" Wei Hanzhang stared in disbelief, and instantly became filled with uncontrollable anger, "Do you still remember what I told you? I don't accept it..."

"Remember, I always remember." Gu Yunran nodded hurriedly and said in a panic: "But the elders have given me a gift, so you just treat them as two objects, okay Ran Ran? I guarantee that they will never be an eyesore to you. "

Just treat them as two objects...

Wei Hanzhang was in a daze. He didn't expect that the young man who grew up together could say such a thing.

She was not born low in this world, and she enjoyed the love and care of her elders and pampering. Everything went smoothly from childhood to adulthood.

I have seen the ladies in high-end mansions, who spend all day either taking care of the housework or thinking about how to control their husband's concubines. They must not only be outwardly resentful and jealous, but also have a peaceful coexistence of wives and concubines in the back house.

As a time traveler, how could Wei Hanzhang accept that he would have to live like this for the rest of his life without working hard at all.She had instilled in Gu Yunran her one-to-one view of marriage since she was a child, and she would not allow a second woman between them.

But now, what is he talking about?
How ridiculous, he said they were not women, in his eyes they were two objects...

She once thought that she could make him change the inherent concepts of this era, but it turned out... that it didn't work?
Even if it is inculcated from an early age, is it not enough?

That's right, in the eyes of these men, the concubines are just toys and objects, no different from the porcelain on the shelf.

The expression on Wei Hanzhang's face gradually turned gloomy.

Gu Yunran panicked after seeing them: "Ran Ran, those are just two insignificant things. If you don't like them, I will send them away when I get back. Don't say anything."

lay off?

So what did he do while keeping them by his side these days?
A 17-year-old boy, his mother thoughtfully prepared a bed-warming maid for her son. He said that they were two objects...

What can she say?
Can she tell Mrs. Gu not to give her son away?
In what capacity was she speaking?Not to mention that they are not married yet, even if they are married, can she stop her?
Wei Hanzhang looked at the anxious young man in front of him who didn't seem to be faking. His childhood sweetheart's feelings were real and he really had her in his heart.

Maybe she was greedy.

She had the delusion that in this era of three wives and four concubines, she wanted to be the only son of an aristocratic family.

Even though she was born in the Hou family, even though she was stunningly beautiful, she seemed too greedy.

"You are going back to the capital tomorrow, let's have a nice talk and forget about irrelevant people, okay?" Gu Yunran stretched out his hand to hold her again, but after seeing her red eyes, his hand paused in the air, and his heart was shaken. .

"Ran Ran..." He clenched his hands into fists, tried his best to hold back the shock and pain in his heart, and explained in a low voice: "I have never touched them, I just coaxed my mother to accept them. Don't worry, I will send them away when I get back." Stay away, I won’t make you angry again.”

rest assured…

What can she rest assured about?

He couldn't refuse the women his mother gave him before marriage. After countless years of marriage, more people would give him women, and he would always have more reasons why he couldn't refuse them.

Wei Hanzhang smiled sadly. She had tried so hard, but she still couldn't change the rules of this era, so what could she rest assured about?

Avoiding his reaching hand, Wei Hanzhang took out the handkerchief and wiped the tears on his face.

Gu Yunran was at a loss: "Ran Ran, don't be angry with me."

"It has nothing to do with you, you just did what any family member would do," Wei Hanzhang lowered his eyes and said calmly, "It's my fault."

I shouldn't think you are different.

"How could Ran Ran be wrong? It was my fault." Gu Yunran finally held her hand and apologized in a low voice: "It's all my fault. It's my bastard. I will never make Ran Ran sad and cry again in the future."

Wei Hanzhang blinked and looked at him blankly.

There were inevitable ripples in my heart, which quickly dissipated.

The trust she had destroyed would never be restored again.

She would never be so naive again.
