Chapter 46 Fierce Tiger
"Yoona, come here..."

Upon returning to the Prince's residence, Princess Kang summoned her son.

Xiao Kangwang thought he was going to be punished and was extremely uneasy.

So what if he offended one's own family?

As for getting so angry?

He didn't think too much about it.

"Yun'er, you studied at the Wei family academy. What do you think of the eldest daughter of the Wei family?" Princess Kang asked Prince Kang.

"Ah..." Xiao Kangwang could get along peacefully with all women; he was born with a personality that came from being surrounded by women.

"It's alright." Xiao Kangwang was unsure how to evaluate it.

"Are you interested in taking her as a concubine?"

Princess Consort Kang's words were made in consideration that the young Prince Kang needed someone to keep him in check, and seeing Wei Yingzi's appearance, she was just right.

At the same time, she felt that the Wei family's standards were too low. If her own child married a woman from the Wei family as his principal wife, it would inevitably cause gossip. It was a case of marrying down and marrying up.

"Mother, I don't want to get married yet..." Prince Xiao Kang pleaded.

"You insolent brat! How old are you to say such things!" Princess Kang was furious. "Look at all those noble young men who grew up with you, they're all married now. And you still dare to spout such nonsense to your mother!"

"It might not be a concubine, and it might not be her." To be honest, when Prince Xiao Kang thought of Wei Yingzi's appearance, he was indeed a little afraid.

“She’s strong and loves riding and archery; she’s clearly a shrew, not suitable for me,” said Xiao Kangwang in a timid voice.

In front of his mother, no matter how wrong he was, even if he were ten times more ruthless, he would still be unable to escape her clutches.

"Let me discuss this with your father before making a decision. Marriage is not something you younger generation can decide; it is a matter of parental consent and matchmaker's word."

Princess Consort Kang told the Crown Prince to go back first.

After leaving the palace, Prince Xiaokang felt a tightness in his chest and was extremely depressed.

Why did you decide to marry Wei Yingzi?
He really wanted to be friends with Wei Yishang, but he didn't have any romantic feelings for her.

As for Wei Yingzi, she usually has an arrogant demeanor and seems unapproachable.

He was terrified that a fierce tiger would grow in his house in the future.

After all, there was already one.

At that time, Ye Mingzhen was a guest at the Feng residence. The arrival of the third-ranked scholar was a great honor for the Feng family, and neither father nor mother dared to neglect him.

"Elders, may we invite Miss Feng out for a chat?"

Feng Guoyu and his wife exchanged a glance and both shook their heads.

They knew their daughter was going through a difficult time, and it would be better for her not to see anyone during this period.

Having just suffered a heartbreak, Feng Yueqiao's feelings have already changed.

"My daughter is still young and doesn't know any better; she shouldn't receive guests." Mother Feng's eyes held a great deal of helplessness.

"Then I won't bother you any longer." Ye Mingzhen was quite straightforward; he had come on private business. Since Feng Yueqiao wasn't coming out, he decided to let it go.

"Father, mother."

At this moment, Feng Yueqiao appeared and came to the front hall.

"My lord, what a coincidence!"

Feng Yueqiao's eyes were no longer as innocent and clear as before, but instead held a hint of hatred and weariness.

"Miss Feng, I, Ye, have come to..."

"He probably wants to plead for Miss Wei, right?" Feng Yueqiao thought that Ye Mingzhen wanted the sisters to reconcile.

“That’s what my parents said, Miss Wei is not at fault. But the whole thing is related to her, and I find it hard to forgive her.” Feng Yueqiao still blamed Wei Yishang for everything.

"I don't know the specifics. I just noticed that Miss Wei looks at that beverage shop every day, so she must be hoping for your appearance." Ye Mingzhen thought of Wei Yishang's eyes, and how she would feel a little lost at such moments.

He didn't want to disappoint her.

She didn't want anything to disturb her peace of mind, nor did she want anyone to disrupt her already difficult life. "You care about her so much, she's so lucky." Feng Yueqiao envied Wei Yishang. Seeing the man she once had a crush on doing this for her, some dark thoughts crept up into her heart.

"Why do others have good marriages, while I only get this ending? I have never done anything bad, I have never been a bad person, so why is this happening to me?" Feng Yueqiao looked up at the sky and laughed.

Fearing that she would embarrass herself or go crazy, Feng's mother quickly grabbed her and led her to the backyard.

"My daughter is in a bad mood, please forgive her, Scholar." Mr. Feng watched Mrs. Feng and the others enter the backyard, and then apologized to Ye Mingzhen.

"It's alright, I'm sorry to have bothered you today." Ye Mingzhen cupped his hands in greeting and then left the Feng family.

Watching Ye Mingzhen's departing figure, Mr. Feng felt a surge of anger, believing that his daughter's current state was related to Ye Mingzhen and that she had been driven to this point by his words.

"You troublemaker!" Mr. Feng glared at him fiercely.

The next day, Wei Yishang saw that the beverage shop across the street had opened, and Feng Yueqiao had also appeared.

She was somewhat pleased, but then she noticed that Feng Yueqiao avoided her gaze.

Wei Yishang knew in her heart that some of her sisters might be facing their end.

It's a pity, but there's nothing we can do about it.

Unexpectedly, at noon, Feng Yueqiao came with two drinks and handed one to Wei Yishang.

"Sister Wei, try this new drink, tea with milk." When Feng Yueqiao handed it to her, Wei Yishang touched her cold hand.

what happened?
Wei Yishang didn't know why her usually warm hands were so cold today.

"It's delicious." Wei Yishang took a sip and smiled sweetly.

Feng Yueqiao's eyebrows twitched, but they were no longer as bright as before.

Wei Yishang had a lot to say. She wanted to curse Zeng Chenyi, wanted Feng Yueqiao to let go of the past, and wanted to tell her that staying away from scumbags was a blessing.

But Feng Yueqiao's indifference made Wei Yishang realize that saying anything would be wrong.

The two of them sat quietly, speechless.

"Sister, why aren't you saying anything?" Feng Yueqiao asked Wei Yishang.

"I feel that sitting with my sister right now is already wonderful," Wei Yishang said calmly, revealing no inner turmoil.

She simply didn't know what to say.

If I say too much, she might misunderstand. If I say the wrong thing, she might be upset.

"How about you name this drink, little sister?" Feng Yueqiao looked at Wei Yishang and said with a smile.

"Let's call it milk tea then, it's easy to understand," Wei Yishang suggested.

Feng Yueqiao nodded and then went back to the beverage shop.

Wei Yishang felt listless and lethargic all day.

Before closing time that night, Cui'er suddenly rushed in.

"Miss, something terrible has happened!" Cui'er shouted loudly.

"What's wrong?" Wei Yishang was used to this rhythm and was not panicked. She just felt that there would always be a way out.

“There’s a woman’s body in front of the door… her face is unrecognizable… she was wearing clothes from our shop…” Cui’er said breathlessly.

"Let's go take a look!" Wei Yishang led Manager Liu and Granny An to the door.

A woman's corpse lay there quietly.

Wei Yishang placed her hand on the corpse's philtrum and found that it was no longer breathing.

"Dead!"

"Dead!"

"Dead!"

At the same time, shouts and calls began to rise and fall all around.
