Marrying a royal playboy and becoming a glamorous matriarch

The eldest prince avoided her gaze, his eyes darting away, and he almost stopped breathing.

"I really have something to do."

The eldest prince fled from Qianyu Tower in a panic.

Wei Lanxin stood there, stunned, holding the freshly made pigeon soup.

The smug, boastful expression on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a wave of disappointment.

She has already softened her stance and come to beg for peace, so why is he still acting this way?

Why make her lose face in front of everyone?

Wei Lanxin was filled with grief and indignation, and her whole body swayed as if she were about to collapse.

I feel like crying, but I also want to get angry.

Seeing this, Wei Qingrou quickly stepped forward and supported her body, which was on the verge of fainting.

Before she lost control of her emotions, he pulled her into a side room.

Wei Lanxin was filled with anger and glared fiercely at Wei Qingrou.

"What do you want to do?"

Wei Qingrou gripped her wrist tightly and asked, "Sister, what do you want to do?"

Before Wei Lanxin could answer, a mocking smile appeared on Wei Qingrou's lips.

"Does my sister want to throw a tantrum in public and vent her anger?"

Wei Lanxin snorted coldly, clearly intending to do the same.

Wei Qingrou slowly sat down in the chair and said in a light tone, "Fine, then go ahead and throw a tantrum, let others enjoy the show."

With red eyes, Wei Lanxin suddenly vented her anger on Wei Qingrou.

"It's all your fault for withholding his monthly allowance, that's what caused the rift between us. And now you're pretending to be a good person!"

When she heard her bring up the matter of monthly allowances again, Wei Qingrou decided to make things clear, as she didn't want to keep taking the blame.

“My sister comes to give me extra food every day. Although I said I wouldn’t charge her, the eldest prince is an upright man and couldn’t let it go. That’s why he took out his monthly allowance to pay the debt.”

Wei Lanxin retorted, "Then why didn't you just refuse? Why pretend now that you've accepted the money?"

Wei Qingrou shook her head, looking into her eyes with a serious and cold gaze.

"I naturally don't care about this small amount of silver, but if I refuse to accept it, what will the Crown Prince think?"

"Don't forget, he used to be a prince second only to the emperor, so he naturally has his own integrity and dignity."

"Isn't the one you love this handsome, proud, and unyielding eldest prince?"

These words struck a chord with Wei Lanxin. She stopped her tantrum and, recalling the past, felt a deep sadness welling up inside her.

She sobbed and wept, burying her face in her hands.

"Of course I love him and care about him, otherwise why would I personally cook soup to nourish his body?"

"But Xiao Yu is different now. He ignores me and now he's even starting to avoid me."

Wei Lanxin was full of complaints and grievances, like a lovelorn man and woman caught in a love triangle, her heart and eyes fixed on only one person.

Every move and every word is influenced.

Little did they know that watching someone is tiring, and the person being watched also feels uncomfortable.

Moreover, the eldest prince was a person who yearned for freedom; otherwise, he would not have eloped with Wei Lanxin.

Wei Lanxin is pressuring him too much now, he will definitely run away again.

Wei Qingrou didn't want their relationship to end without a trace, not out of sympathy or pity, but because the price they had paid for it was too high.

It not only concerns Wei Lanxin's lifelong happiness, but also the entire Wei family.

If their relationship ends without a clear resolution, I fear the Emperor will still seek revenge against the Wei family afterward.

Now that the eldest prince has Wei Lanxin in his heart, let's bind them together firmly, and the interests of the Wei family will be guaranteed.

Wei Qingrou said calmly, "Sister, you're overthinking it. How could the First Prince neglect you? He's just too busy."

Wei Lanxin raised her face, her eyes blurry with tears, and asked through sobs, "Really?"

Wei Qingrou nodded firmly but slowly, comforting her, "Don't worry about him, just focus on yourself. Your relationship with the Crown Prince isn't everything in life."

Tears welled up in Wei Lanxin's eyes, her face filled with hesitation, and she bit her lip and nodded.

Wei Qingrou breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Wei Lanxin didn't get stuck on this, the matter would be resolved.

What she really wanted to tell Wei Lanxin was that love is important, but it's not something you absolutely have to have.

After all, love is ephemeral, while life is pragmatic.

After much earnest persuasion, Wei Qingrou thought that Wei Lanxin would gradually calm down and that the two would reconcile once the eldest prince calmed down.

But she underestimated Wei Lanxin's obsession.

The next day, Wei Qingrou completely forgot her words and began to relentlessly pursue and intercept the eldest prince.

She came to the Thousand Feather Tower's workshop every day, constantly following the eldest prince, her eyes full of resentment as she accused him.

Wei Qingrou also tried to dissuade her, but no matter what she said, Wei Lanxin kept repeating the same thing: "I lack a sense of security, I have to be with him, I gave up everything, now I only have him."

Wei Qingrou sighed in exasperation, unable to stop her stubbornness.

This woman is too naive to place her sense of security in a man.

Doesn't she know that the more she pressures a man, the more resistant he will become?

As expected, under Wei Lanxin's harassment, the eldest prince simply stopped coming to Qianyu Tower.

Wei Lanxin went even crazier, and actually started secretly bribing the accountant to find out where the eldest prince was.

Seeing her getting more and more outrageous, Wei Qingrou couldn't help but twitch her eyebrows, sensing that something was seriously wrong.

And it came true very quickly.

That day, the eldest prince was discussing business with someone at Luoxian Tower.

Wei Lanxin somehow got wind of the news and, without saying a word, kicked open the door and rushed into the room.

She beat and cursed the dancing and music girls, and also went on a rampage against the eldest prince, making accusations over and over again.

The merchants involved were so frightened that they broke out in a cold sweat and fled, and the deal naturally fell through.

The eldest prince flew into a rage and, no matter how Wei Lanxin explained, he ignored her completely and even moved out of the house.

The two have completely broken off relations.

Wei Qingrou was startled when she heard about this, and quickly hitched up a carriage and rushed to the small courtyard where the two were.

The courtyard was in complete disarray, with pots and pans smashed all over the ground.

She entered the room and saw Wei Lanxin huddled in the corner of the bed, sobbing intermittently.

Wei Qingrou walked forward slowly and patted Wei Lanxin's shoulder reassuringly.

"It's okay, everything will pass."

Wei Lanxin let out a scream and threw herself into Wei Qingrou's arms.

"Why is love so fleeting, so easily forgotten? Please help me find the eldest prince, okay?"

Love is not something that can be preserved; rather, it is something that craves novelty and is prone to getting tired of the old and seeking the new.

Wei Qingrou was also troubled: "If the eldest prince is determined to hide, let him have a few days of peace and quiet. What's the point of finding him again?"

"No, no, I can't live without him. I've already eloped with him. I've made up my mind about him for life."

"Alright, alright, I'll do my best to find it," she reassured Wei Lanxin. "Sister, why don't you stay at my residence for a few days?"

Wei Lanxin shook her head firmly.

"No, I will wait for him to come back. He will definitely come back."

Seeing her distraught yet stubborn refusal to listen to advice, Wei Qingrou was helpless.

She ordered, "Bring the things in."

"Yes."

Soon, the servants brought in all the food and utensils, and the courtyard was cleaned again.

Wei Qingrou left the maid and servant there and instructed them to take care of Wei Lanxin.

After settling in, the sun had already set. Wei Qingrou headed back home, her mind preoccupied with how to persuade the two of them.

During dinner, Qin Ping'an told Wei Qingrou with a smile, "The Crown Prince has come to his senses and plans to return to the palace."
