My elder sister forced me to become a concubine; I was reborn and remarried into the emperor's

Wei Nanxun looked down and saw a man in a royal blue robe standing on the first floor. He had his hair tied up, wore a crown, and held a folding fan. He was accompanied by two servants. He was not bad-looking; in fact, one could say he was handsome.

He was clearly a spoiled young master who had been pampered at home. His words were frivolous and his expressions were animated. He was probably the young master of some family in Pingzhen.

But she didn't like associating with such people. She frowned, raised her hand, and lowered the veil of her hat.

Without even glancing at the man, she simply curtsied to the boy who had hit her earlier as a thank you, and then pulled Zhixia away.

But the man was clearly interested in Wei Nanxun, so he wasn't going to let her go so easily. The two servants blocked her way again just before she left the shop.

"Hey, little girl, how can you be so ill-mannered? Our young master is talking to you!"

"That's right, do you know who our young master is? Which girl in Pingzhen wouldn't want to befriend our young master? It's your good fortune to be able to speak with him."

Wei Nanxun turned to look at Manager Qiu upstairs: "Manager Qiu, if all your customers are like this, then I don't think I'll dare to visit again next time."

Manager Qiu was in a real dilemma. He didn't want to offend either side, but considering that the deal he had just finalized was signed and sealed, and that it would affect his business, he finally rubbed his hands together and came down.

“Miss Guan, this is Young Master Wen, Wen Zhuxi, the eldest grandson of Minister Wen of the Ministry of Revenue.”

Wei Nanxun raised her eyebrows slightly. She had heard of Minister Wen. The Wen family and the Wei family were close friends. She had met Madam Wen during the New Year and heard that she was a very virtuous and meticulous person.

In her previous life, Pei Yuyan had taken a woman from the Wen family as a concubine. She had met that concubine, who was gentle, quiet, and didn't like to show off. Even Wei Mingzhao didn't pay much attention to her.

Before her death, the emperor was seriously ill and Pei Yuyan was acting as regent. The Wen family were his most trusted civil officials and right-hand men.

She never imagined that the eldest grandson of the Wen family would be in Pingzhen instead of the capital, and she couldn't understand how such a family could raise such a spoiled brat.

"Young Master Wen, this young lady is a distinguished guest of our restaurant, what do you think..."

Before the shopkeeper could finish speaking, Wen Zhuxi closed his fan, stepped forward, and smacked each of the two servants on the head.

"Did I give you permission to stop people? Who gave you permission to speak to this young lady like that! Get out of here!"

The two servants covered their heads in misery and retreated to the side, feeling wronged.

Wen Zhuxi then stepped forward and clasped his hands together, saying, "No, Miss Guan, you've been frightened. I'm just a servant who's blind and doesn't know how to speak properly. I just wanted to lend a hand because I saw that you were having difficulty moving around. I didn't mean to be frivolous or negligent."

“I know there’s a clinic nearby. I can take you there. Don’t worry, I have no ill intentions.”

Wei Nanxun: ...

In her previous life, she had never met any men outside the palace, and was easily tricked into entering the palace by Pei Yuyan. But that doesn't mean she was really stupid or easy to fool.

This person said he meant no harm, but his eyes were practically glued to her. She'd have to be a fool to fall for it.

Wen Zhuxi assumed that since the shopkeeper had revealed his identity, the other party would immediately change her attitude towards him, just like the women he had met before. He was confident of victory and prepared to have someone lead the way.

But the woman in front of him said coldly, "No need. Please move aside, you're blocking my way."

He was stunned for a moment, unable to react. No one had ever rejected him before in his entire life!

"Cousin, don't make things difficult for the young lady. We should have our meal now."

At this moment, the young man in plain clothes who was still standing on the stairs suddenly spoke, which woke Wen Zhuxi up. He then let out a sound and made way for him.

Seeing that the woman wasn't being coy but genuinely leaving, he stared at her retreating figure until she completely disappeared before snapping out of his daze.

"Cousin, stop looking."

“I like this Miss Guan! You have the most and the smartest ideas. Please give me some suggestions.”

Xu Yanxiu, the boy in blue, frowned subconsciously as he looked at the hand gripping his arm, revealing a barely perceptible hint of annoyance.

“Cousin, you just promised me that you would study hard these next few days. Besides, you have so many girls you like, you can’t even fit them all in the backyard. This Miss Guan is obviously not interested in you, so why force it?”

"It's precisely because she's not interested in me that she's so extraordinary. You saw her face just now, didn't you? What's that saying again? Right, she's breathtakingly beautiful. I've never seen such a beautiful woman even in the capital. It was worth following her all this way."

He had just stepped off the pleasure boat and immediately spotted the Wei sisters.

Although I couldn't see her face clearly, I had a gut feeling that this woman must be beautiful, which is why I followed her all the way to Fengle Tower.

That face was absolutely stunning!

Most importantly, she was completely different from everyone else in his backyard. She wasn't greedy for wealth or bewitched by his face; she was truly unique.

"I understand about the training program. You can write me a few letters expressing your feelings; young girls love that."

“Cousin, we haven’t finished our studies yet. The imperial examinations are in a few months. You promised me…”

“But I really love her. I’ve never felt this way before. You’re my best brother. I take you with me everywhere. In this Pingzhen, it’s just the two of us brothers. If you don’t help me, who else can I turn to?”

Xu Yanxiu's smile froze slightly, and his hand clenched into a fist under his sleeve. After a few moments, he said with a faint smile, "I understand. I'll write it when I get back."

-

Wei Nanxun and her companion didn't dare to linger for even a moment. Realizing that no one was following them, they quickly returned home.

She couldn't help but feel annoyed; she should have been more careful and avoided getting herself into trouble.

Back home, Zhixia finally dared to catch her breath: "Sister, could this Wen guy be an imposter? What kind of grandson of Minister Wen is he? I think he's just a lazy toad. How dare he have designs on you? I'm so angry! If you hadn't stopped me, I would have gone and taught him a lesson just now."

Wei Nanxun shook his head with a chuckle: "Manager Qiu said it himself, so it can't be false."

"Alright, calm down. I'll just stay home for the next few days. If he dares to come to the door, you can just beat him out. Nothing will happen."

"The other young master is more pleasing to the eye. He even spoke up for you and got you out of that predicament. He's also quite handsome. How come these two brothers are so different?"

Wei Nanxun also noticed Xu Yanxiu, but she felt that the two brothers were not as loving and respectful as they seemed on the surface. At least Xu Yanxiu seemed to be more shrewd.

He nodded slowly and joked casually, "You are good-looking."

Zhixia followed up by saying, "They're all scholars, much better than this bookworm in our family who can't even get out of bed."

As soon as the words were spoken, both of them felt a chill run down their spines.

Wei Nanxun suddenly turned around and saw that the bookish nerd who couldn't get down was standing under the eaves in the shade, leaning on his crutches, looking at her with a deep gaze.
