The Sickly Regent Prince Who Was Abandoned as a Substitute Bride

After Uncle Wang left, Qiuqin asked anxiously, "Miss, what should we do?"

"What are you afraid of? I'm hungry. I'll eat something before I go. There's no rush." ​​Dongfang Wan'er didn't care about anything else.

"Oh, Miss, this is a real emergency!" Qiuqin followed closely behind Dongfang Wan'er. Her young lady used to be so arrogant, but now she doesn't even respect the master anymore!

Dongfang Wan'er returned to her courtyard. "Qiuqin, bring out the pastries I bought. I need to eat my fill to have the strength to deal with them."

"Sigh!" Qiuqin sighed and silently took out the mung bean cake, Hundred Flower Cake, Osmanthus Cake, and roast chicken she had bought at Wangchunlou!

Having lived a life in modern times, Dongfang Wan'er's personality had long since changed. "My darlings, I'm here!" she exclaimed, and immediately began to eat, completely abandoning any ladylike image. The aloof beauty she was supposed to be was nowhere to be seen!

"Miss, don't say things like 'baby' so casually!" Qiuqin blushed, but still patiently advised her young mistress.

"Don't worry, I'm saying it right in front of you!"

Qiuqin's face turned even redder!

On the main hall side, Dongfang Zheng had a livid face as he listened to Dongfang Mingzhu sobbing and complaining.

"Father, I just wanted to borrow my sister's red coral headdress, but I never expected that she... Waaah..." Dongfang Mingzhu didn't finish her sentence, but covered her face and cried. Her face was indeed red, and anyone with eyes could see what she meant!

"Master, Zhu'er is your most beloved daughter. It's all my fault. I've always been too weak. Miss has always been so domineering!" Liu Qiqi knelt on the ground, sobbing.

Seeing his beloved woman in tears, Dongfang Zheng's heart softened. He stood up, helped Liu Qiqi up, and clapped his hands. "Qiqi, it's not your fault. I've spoiled Wan'er too much! Don't worry, I'll talk to her when she comes over."

Dongfang Zheng could only offer verbal comfort to Liu Qiqi. Dongfang Wan'er was his legitimate daughter. Although he loved Liu Qiqi, her mother was the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, and Wan'er was their most beloved granddaughter. If he disciplined Wan'er, his father-in-law would come and break his legs the next day.

The group waited and waited in the main hall, but even after noon, they hadn't seen a single person.

"Zheng'er, it's almost noon!" Old Madam Wang Yu was hungry. She had originally planned to scold Dongfang Wan'er when she came over, so that the little girl wouldn't disrespect her as her grandmother.

"Steward Wang, what happened to Wan'er? Did you deliver the message?" Dongfang Zheng was also hungry, but out of respect for the head of the family, he had been enduring the hunger here.

"My lord, the young lady returned to the manor before noon. I brought the message and came over..." Steward Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead. I'm sure I made myself clear, so why hasn't the young lady arrived yet?

After Dongfang Wan'er had eaten and drunk her fill, she completely forgot what Steward Wang had said!

"Ah..." Dongfang Wan'er yawned, feeling sleepy. She went straight to the chaise lounge for a nap!

When Qiuqin came over, she saw that her young mistress was asleep. "Never mind, young mistress must be tired from shopping today. Let her rest!" Qiuqin thoughtfully covered her with the blanket and then went out.

When it was 1 p.m., Steward Wang was sent by the Marquis to see what the young lady was doing and why she hadn't come over yet. Qiuqin told him that the young lady was taking a nap!

"What? Afternoon nap?" Butler Wang was bewildered in the wind. He remembered that he had said that the Marquis was waiting for the young lady in the main hall, but he couldn't remember clearly. The young lady used to be the most filial, and she listened to the Marquis the most. What happened today? Did he not make himself clear?

"Qiuqin, please go and inform the Marquis that the Old Madam is waiting in the main hall and hasn't had lunch yet..."

"The young lady just fell asleep. Besides, you know her temper. You can go if you want, but I'm not going!" Qiu Qin remembered how arrogant Butler Wang was just now. Now he knows to beg her. Sorry, but not her. Just wait and see!

Qiuqin stood outside the door, looking down at her nose and then at her eyes, but she didn't move.

Steward Wang paced back and forth anxiously! After waiting for a while, he went back again! "Lord, Lord, the young lady is taking a nap!" Wang Li said with his head down, lowering his head even further after speaking!

"You bastard..." Dongfang Zheng was so angry that he smashed the teacup on the table on the ground!

The servants were so frightened that they all knelt on the ground, and Steward Wang quickly knelt down as well!

"Wan'er has always listened to her father the most. It must be that you, you old servant, failed to convey my message. Guards, drag her away and give her ten lashes." Dongfang Zheng was furious, but having nowhere else to vent his anger, he could only take it out on Wang Li!

Soon, Wang Li's wailing voice rang out! "My lord, this old servant is innocent... ah... ah..."

At three-quarters past noon, Dongfang Wan'er woke up and asked, "Qiuqin, what time is it?"

"Miss, it's past 1:45 PM. Steward Wang just came by, and I sent him away! I heard that the Marquis was furious and beat Steward Wang..." Qiuqin reported what she had heard to Dongfang Wan'er!

"Hmph, serves him right, he even dared to lecture me just now..." Dongfang Wan'er thought to herself, she'll add some more spice to his life tonight!

Dongfang Wan'er thought for a moment and decided to go and meet Dongfang Mingzhu, lest she think that she was afraid of her. She picked up the soft whip at random. She had learned how to use a whip before, but she had put it aside because she had taken the path of a lady.

"Let's go, let's go take a look at the main hall!"

"Auntie, I'm so hungry!" Dongfang Mingzhu was really starving!

"Zhu'er, just bear with it a little longer. Didn't you see how blue your father's face is? Don't make him angry!" Liu Qiqi was very good at reading people's expressions. She knew that the Marquis would definitely deal with Dongfang Wan'er properly later.

"My lord, the ten strokes have been completed!" A servant carried Wang Li in to report.

"What's wrong? Why is Father so angry? Uncle Wang is an old friend of Father's!"

A clear, cold voice rang out, and soon, a pale pink dress came into view; the newcomer was none other than Dongfang Wan'er.

This is Dongfang Wan'er, but she seems different. She looks prettier, and she's more aloof...

The first thought that comes to everyone's mind when they see Dongfang Wan'er!

"Wan'er, this old servant is deceiving his superiors and subordinates. He failed to do what I instructed him to tell you!"

"My lord, this old servant was wrong!" Wang Li was now certain that he had not explained things clearly.

"Ah, Uncle Wang, you're not wrong, Father. You've misunderstood Uncle Wang. He explained everything very clearly!" Dongfang Wan'er said calmly, and casually found a seat and sat down.

Dongfang Zheng's eyes twitched as he watched!

"Young Miss..." Butler Wang wailed, "My lord, this old servant has explained everything!" He then fainted!

"Wan'er!" Dongfang Zheng said in a deep voice, waiting for Dongfang Wan'er to continue.

"Oh dear, Father, I accidentally fell asleep. You weren't going to wait here the whole time, were you? Oh dear, I forgot, Father, you haven't had lunch yet, have you? Luckily, I ate earlier!" Dongfang Wan'er said, looking apologetic.
