After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

Chapter 367 Looking Back at the Abyss

After that, she tried her best to avoid Zhao Rui, especially when Tian was around. She couldn't understand why Tian disliked her. Obviously, the Wei Palace didn't know that Tian was a woman. She guessed that Tian thought she would snatch her position as the main wife. After all, Tian had the highest status in the Wei Palace.

But she really wanted to give her some common sense. Even without her, she couldn't become the legitimate wife. She had studied the etiquette of the Great Chu, and knew that a concubine could never be made the legitimate wife, except for the emperor.

That day, the captain of the Chu State, Shangguan Shifan, got married, and Wei Zhen went to attend the wedding banquet. Tian looked over the crowd and glared at her. She smiled and fiddled with her collar, pretending to pull it open. Then she saw Tian's broken expression. Hahaha, it turns out that if you want to get rid of a nightmare completely, you have to find a way to make this nightmare become someone else's.

In a blink of an eye, it was the wedding date of Wei Zhen and Prince of Yan. During this period, Prince of Yan had killed countless people. Wei Zhen could not bear it and tried to persuade him, but was called by the old queen to be beaten. The old woman looked cruel and vicious. Wei Zhen thought about it and shut up.

The phoenix coronet and bridal robe are still beautiful, after all, they are carefully selected by the nine clans.

The Crown Princess's dress was extremely gorgeous, only slightly simpler than the phoenix crown worn by the Queen on her wedding day.

Wei Zhen looked at the phoenix crown sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and couldn't let it go. No wonder the court ladies in ancient times fought in the palace. If they couldn't get such beautiful clothes, crowns and jewelry, they would be so sad that they would bite the quilt and cry late at night.

Wei Zhen smiled faintly as she touched the dazzling array of pearls and jade on the dress, thinking that if she gave birth to a daughter in the future, she would definitely find the most beautiful dresses and jewelry in the world for her and dress her up as a little princess... Wow, her daughter is a real princess!

Wow, little girl, you are so lucky!

Even though your father is a tyrant, your mother will keep you safe!

She raised her head and suddenly looked into Zhao Rui's deep and dark eyes.

Zhao Rui's face looked extremely ugly.

Wei Zhen's heart skipped a beat and a chill rose from the bottom of his heart. It was the vigilance and preparedness of an animal when faced with danger.

He walked towards her step by step.

Wei Zhen came to her senses and subconsciously wanted to laugh it off with him to show her magnanimity and forgiveness, to ease the awkwardness between the two of them that day. From now on, they would see each other every day. She couldn't always be like this. More importantly, there was really nothing between them. He had coveted her out of lust, but what did it have to do with her? He should go find the original owner of this body. She was just a weak and innocent hermit crab.

But when the words came to her lips, she suddenly stopped talking. Why?

She is the Crown Princess. In terms of status, she is higher than him. In terms of seniority, she is his future sister-in-law. Why should she bow her head first?

She is really used to being treated like a beast of burden.

He should kneel down to apologize to her and beg for mercy!

She put down the dress expressionlessly, turned away, and held the shelf.

Behind him, Zhao Rui looked at Wei Zhen's leaving figure, and something in his heart completely broke.

The servants in the Wei Mansion were very busy preparing the betrothal gifts and dowry.

On the way back to Wei Zhen's room, there was no one around.

Behind him, the pursuit was getting closer and closer. Wei Zhen inexplicably felt a sense of urgency, just like when someone suddenly chases you on the street and you start running for no apparent reason, but what are you actually running for...

Wei Zhen's steps became faster and faster, almost jogging. Suddenly, a strong force pressed on her shoulder. Then, the world spun, and she was pressed under a century-old pine tree.

Behind him was a rough tree trunk, and in front of him was Zhao Rui's cold face.

Wei Zhen experienced what it meant to be attacked from both sides.

Zhao Rui glared down at her condescendingly, his thin lips pressed into a line, his chest heaving up and down, his heavy breathing hitting Wei Zhen's face. Wei Zhen glared at him. Hey, he's even licking her face and getting angry!

Wei Zhen opened her mouth to curse, but Zhao Rui asked before she could open her mouth, "Are you avoiding me?"

You must be very perceptive to be able to see that.

Such an embarrassing thing happened, but I didn't hide from you. How tolerant I am...

Wei Zhen smirked twice, with his face but no smile, and reached out to push Zhao Rui, but failed. Not only that, when he saw that she was trying to push him, the corners of his eyes flushed, and his gaze became more ferocious, as if he wanted to bite someone, and his tilted jaw was tense, revealing a stubbornness and... grievance.

Wei Zhen's patience finally ran out after he asked, "Why are you hiding from me?"

She drooped her face and asked irritably, "If I don't hide from you, who should I hide from?"

"Are you stupid or am I stupid? After what happened that day, can we still act as if nothing happened? What I said that day, if the negotiation failed, then it failed. I don't blame you. What do you want to do now? Are you going to blame me for taking off my clothes in front of you to seduce you? I don't care about my face!"

Wei Zhen rolled her eyes at Zhao Rui without caring about her manners. She had a speechless expression on her face, "Zhao Rui, you are such a disgusting person!"

The truth is always harder to hear.

Heart-wrenching words are worse than poison.

Zhao Rui stared at Wei Zhen in a daze, his heart feeling as if it had been hollowed out.

He He……

He just missed her. He had never missed someone so much before. After that day, he tried to let go, but every time he couldn't help wanting to see her, she always avoided him like this...

His sanity collapsed and shattered as she escaped again and again.

Now he knew he was hated.

Everything she said and did expressed her disgust for him.

Zhao Rui was so heartbroken that he could hardly breathe.

After Wei Zhen finished scolding, she saw Zhao Rui's face was pale and looked very pitiful. She suddenly felt a little guilty. Alas, although his children were all grown up, if he were in modern times, he would be just a clear-eyed college student.

It is understandable that boys mature later than girls, are psychologically immature, and have lower emotional intelligence.

As a mentally sound, well-educated mature woman, she shouldn't get angry with a half-grown boy who is just a pretty face.

Tolerance... generosity...

Wei Zhen sighed, stood on tiptoe and patted Zhao Rui's shoulder, saying in a condescending manner, "Don't take it personally. We will all be a family in the future. I will be your sister-in-law in the future. An elder sister-in-law is like a mother. If my sister-in-law scolds you, you will still hold a grudge."

Wei Zhen perfectly illustrates what it means to bring up something that is not relevant.

Zhao Rui said nothing, just looked at her with a sinister smile that seemed to be sarcastic and mocking.

He kept repeating two words in his mouth, "Sister-in-law..."

"sister in law……"

"very good!"

He suddenly stopped talking, his voice as cold as an ice cone, "Wei Zhen, it's a pity that you can't be my sister-in-law anymore."

After that, he let her go and walked away without looking back, his steps firm.

It turns out that it's not that he can't gaze into the abyss again, but that there is no one in it that he wants to gaze at.

Wei Zhen stared at Zhao Rui's back in a daze, his voice echoing repeatedly in his mind.

Suddenly, she hugged her head, her face full of horror.

What do you mean I can’t be his sister-in-law anymore?

He...he's not going to commit suicide, is he?

Were the mental health of young people in ancient times so poor?
