Chunrou stirred the teacup in her hand, but did not answer her question.

After about a breath, she raised her head.

"Miss Wu, I don't know what you're talking about."

Wu Weiwei tried to turn the teacup like her, but she didn't hold it properly and accidentally pushed it away.

With a loud "thud," the cup fell to the ground.

The sudden sound startled Chunrou.

"what!"

She stared blankly at the tea bowl that was shattered into pieces on the ground.

Wu Weiwei stared thoughtfully at the broken teacup on the ground.

"Look, this perfectly good tea bowl was shattered on the ground just because I accidentally pushed it."

"Don't you think this is like you, your father, and your family outside the mansion?"

“Wu Weiwei, you…”

Chunrou jumped up in surprise.

"What, you can't hold back anymore?"

Wu Weiwei looked at her with eyes as cold as ice, "Lai Chunrou, do you think that just because you're hiding here recuperating, I can't do anything to you?"

I'm telling you, as long as I say a word to the Crown Prince.

I guarantee that your father will not only fail to protect you, but may even lose his job because of you.

This was the first time Wu Weiwei had revealed her true self to outsiders.

Those who saw her true face have now been reincarnated, just like Qiu Ju.

If Chunrou hadn't been so ungrateful, she might not have taken her seriously today.

"me……"

Chunrou was struggling internally.

Wu Weiwei picked up her cup and poured herself a fresh cup of tea.

Just as her lips touched the rim of the cup, she heard Chunrou say, "Promise me that if I tell you, you will let me go."

She sobbed, her gaze towards Wu Weiwei filled with expectation.

"That depends on whether what you say has any value."

Wu Weiwei said coldly.

An eerie silence fell over the room once again.

Wu Weiwei slowly sipped her tea.

Just as she was about to lose patience, Chunrou slowly spoke.

“I’m afraid of ghosts, which is why I led you to the Rose Pavilion that day.”

I had intended to create a chance encounter with the Crown Prince, but when I saw him walking heavily towards me, I worried that if things didn't go as planned, he would take his anger out on me, so I hid in the bushes nearby.

After seeing you and the Crown Prince come out, I intended to follow you back.

But after you left, I saw a figure in a cloak sneak in. Out of curiosity, I followed her and discovered that she was furtively digging a box out of the ground…

Who is the cloaked figure?

"I...I don't know. I didn't see her clearly. I only know she was a woman..."

Chunrou was afraid that she wouldn't believe her, so she raised her hand and swore an oath.

Wu Weiwei stared at her expression and movements.

Having studied psychology, she confirmed after repeated questioning that she was not lying to herself.

Butler Zhou attentively escorted Wu Weiwei to the door. Although his face was full of wrinkles, it didn't stop him from smiling brightly.

"Miss Wu, welcome to come again next time."

As the carriage slowly drove away from the manor, Wu Weiwei's brows furrowed.

It wasn't Chunrou.

So, who is this cloaked figure?

The next day.

Everyone gathered at Yong'an Hall to pay their respects to the Old Madam.

Because of her improved health, the old lady was in a good mood.

She looked at Lady Hou and said happily, "Madam Liu, Ting'er is twenty-two now! The old Marquis and Qing'er are already fathers at that age."

I think he's not young anymore.

"Why not take advantage of the nice weather and host a spring banquet? We can invite all the noble ladies of the capital to come and let him take a look. If they're a good match, then we can make a deal!"

"Grandma, that's exactly what I was thinking."

Because of my cousin, I asked him several times before, but he always disagreed.

Now that fairy-like person is gone, Ting'er only has Madam Wu to serve him, and his daughter-in-law thinks that's definitely not enough.

Then, Madam Hou looked at Wu Weiwei and said, "Wu, I've heard that Ting'er has been very fond of you lately. Tell me, should Ting'er get married?"

Everyone immediately turned to look at Wu Weiwei.

Hearing the Lady Hou's sarcastic words, the Fourth Miss felt extremely pleased.

Everyone in the Marquis's mansion knows that Wu Weiwei is currently very favored; her brother, the young master, spoils her so much that she's practically wagging her tail in the air.

Now, Lady Hou has finally had enough of her antics and is going to take action to punish her.

Looking at these people, Wu Weiwei saw that each of them was twisted with jealousy.

It's just about finding a wife for the prince, so what? She didn't say she disagreed.

Besides, even if she disagreed, it was impossible for these people to prevent the prince from marrying her.

Although the prince loved the female lead, he still married her in his previous life.

Lady Hou was waiting for Wu Weiwei's words.

Then she smiled and said, "Old Madam, Madam Hou, I have been thinking about this matter these past few days."

Thinking that if the Crown Prince were to marry the Lady soon and have children for him, wouldn't the Old Madam become the matriarch?

Today, the matriarch spoke up, and the Lady of the Marquis helped with the selection.

"When I return, I will certainly persuade the young master, and I believe he will be able to marry a beautiful and desirable wife."

Wu Weiwei replied with a smile, but her eyes inadvertently glanced at the gloating Fourth Sister.

Little brat, you're still too green to mess with me!

"Madam Wu is truly insightful. Granny, take the remaining boxes of bird's nest from the storeroom back to her later so she can nourish herself properly."

If Wei-yatou were to give birth to another child for Ting-er, our Marquis's manor would be even more lively.

The old lady saw that her gaze was sincere and did not seem to be feigning.

With that charming mouth, it was impossible not to reward her; in his joy, he rewarded her again.

"Thank you for your generous gift, Madam."

Among those present, some were envious, while others were delighted.

Although Madam Hou had just said that she intended to suppress Wu Weiwei, after listening to her words and thinking that if that was really what she thought, then it would not have been in vain for her to cultivate her.

The fourth sister had experienced all the bitterness and sweetness in her heart. Looking at Wu Weiwei's smug smile, she clenched her embroidered handkerchief tightly, wishing she could tear Wu Weiwei apart.

"Ping Shi, this time you will assist Liu Shi in organizing this banquet!"

The old lady looked at Aunt Ping.

"Yes, Madam."

Aunt Ping lowered her head and said meekly.

Lady Hou glanced at Aunt Ping, her lips moved as if to speak, but in the end she said nothing.

"Alright, that's how it's arranged. The spring banquet will be held in five days."

I'm exhausted, you can all leave now!

After leaving Yong'an Hall, Wu Weiwei kept thinking about what the old lady had just said.

Five days later?

Isn't that the time when the female lead returns in the story?

She frowned; this spring banquet wasn't part of the story.

The actual banquet was held six months after the female lead was welcomed back. The prince held a banquet to give her face and introduce her to the world in a grand manner.

At that time, she attended as the crown prince's favored concubine.

Tongzhou County.

Before dawn, Dingxiang knocked on her daughter's door.

"Young lady, you should get up."

Today is your engagement day with your fiancé. He and the old lady will be here soon, so you can't sleep anymore.
