Chapter 563: Zhang Wan’er’s Weak Spot!
Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The footsteps that were heading out suddenly came to a halt, and Liu s.h.i.+mei frowned.
She furrowed her brows tightly and glanced down at her grabbed arm.
Not in a hurry, she slowly extended her other hand and placed it on Zhang Qingxi’s hand, moving it away. She then smiled gently, “Men and women should not be too intimate, Cousin Zhang!”
The curve of her lips carried a hint of bloodthirsty intent. If the Silly Second Prince, who cared about his wife’s mood, were here, he would definitely know that continuing to provoke her would bring misfortune.
But Zhang Qingxi couldn’t understand!
He didn’t even notice when Liu s.h.i.+mei removed her hand from his. Her fingers had flicked against his hand.
Zhang Qingxi took this as a stroke of luck!
He had grabbed her arm through her clothes, but she had directly touched his hand!
Thinking like this, he became even more delighted. He thought, ‘She really is an immoral woman, no wonder she didn’t become the Crown Princess and chose a fool instead! If she marries a fool, her husband won’t know anything. In the future, she can have any man she wants!’
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He chuckled, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I’m impulsive by nature. Cousin s.h.i.+mei, please don’t mind.”
A cold arc formed at the corner of Liu s.h.i.+mei’s lips as she replied, “It’s alright.” After all, you will soon face the wrath of society!
Seeing her own brother’s behavior, Zhang Wan’er was speechless. It was tolerable on usual days, but now he was actually l.u.s.ting after the person she despised the most. How could she endure it?
She suddenly rushed forward, pulling Zhang Qingxi away, and said, “I’m talking to Liu s.h.i.+mei!”
Her gaze swept toward Liu s.h.i.+mei, her eyes filled with disdain. “Even if everyone in the entire Imperial Capital knows you’re promiscuous and lecherous, there’s no need to restrain yourself in your own home! You even targeted my brother, shameless!”
Liu s.h.i.+mei looked perplexed, and she was speechless.
It’s your brother who’s acting up, and you’re directing your anger at me?
She sighed, her face filled with helplessness, and shook her head. “Cousin Wan’er is probably here this time to get married, right? You’re already 17, and the marriage has been set for 17 years. If it doesn’t happen soon, it might delay the youth of the Minister’s son, right?”
The arranged marriage was Zhang Wan’er’s weak spot, no matter what she said, using this matter to confront her was the right move!
Zhang Wan’er’s expression stiffened, and she said bitterly, “It’s none of your business!”
“Indeed, it’s not my business. I wish you an early marriage and many children!” Liu s.h.i.+mei mocked, then turned and walked away.
Why was Zhang Wan’er so infuriated about this marriage?
It was quite funny, actually!
Back then, Zhang Qian was just a minor official, without any rank at all.
But the Wei family had a close relations.h.i.+p with a powerful official, and Zhang Wan’er was married off to the Minister’s a.s.sistant.
In order to climb the social ladder through this marriage, when Zhang Wan’er was pregnant, they arranged a formal engagement with the influential friend, complete with tokens and even a formal written agreement.
But many years later, Zhang Qian, benefiting from his sister’s position as the concubine of a prime minister, started to rise in ranks and gradually looked down on the influential friend who had been stuck in the a.s.sistant Minister of Personnel position all these years.
Especially after Zhang Madam officially took her place, the Zhang family refused to marry their daughter off to the influential friend. So, they kept postponing the marriage, using the excuse that arranging the wedding while they were stationed outside the Capital was inconvenient. They planned to wait until Zhang Qian got promoted further, find a better match, and then break off the engagement!
The Zhang family’s att.i.tude was essentially materialistic.
But the main reason Zhang Wan’er despised this marriage was—he, her fiance, was incredibly, unbelievably, hideous!
When he was younger, it wasn’t much of an issue, but as he grew older, he became uglier!
Being ugly wouldn’t have been so bad, but he was also extremely, unbelievably, fat!
