Chapter 9 - I want Hugh

Xiao Qingqian naturally didn't say anything more. When he saw Prime Minister Wei's pair of downcast eyes, he could only keep silent.

At this time, Bi Yao brought Tian Sisi to the front hall.

Under the light of the candle flame, his face was as white as paper.

When they had entered the Prince Chu's great wedding at the same time, the matter had already spread like wildfire. If not for Wei Qing's insistence on marrying Xiao Qingqian back then, the Prime Minister Wei would not have been subjected to such vexation!

When he saw Tian Sisi this time, Prime Minister Wei's eyes were filled with anger and disgust.

"My prince, my heart is really concerned about the sudden calamity that has befallen Elder Sister Princess."

"Si'er, your body is weak. Don't try to be brave. Go back and rest!"

Tian Sisi shook her head and looked at Xiao Qingqian with misty eyes.

"Outsiders say that I have stolen the prince's love, and wish that I could become a charming fox spirit. But I am the same as the Elder Sister Princess, so I want to properly love the prince!"

Tian Sisi's words, would have easily been heard by anyone saying that she was righteous and did not seek to be pampered, but Prime Minister Wei only had one thought in mind: Wei Qing had indeed suffered a huge grievance in Prince Chu’s Mansion!

This Tian Sisi had retreated in order to advance, what was displayed in front of others was her understanding, her forbearance, and her magnanimity, but who would have known, that the more she acted this way, the deeper the stab went!

"Master, please don't believe the words of this wicked woman!" Die'er pointed angrily at her. "Previously, it was because she slandered Eldest Miss that Your Highness forbade her from doing so!"

Forbidden foot?

Boom — —

It was as if thunder exploded in the Prime Minister Wei's mind as he coldly stared at Tian Sisi. His gaze slowly shifted to Xiao Qingqian's face, "Your Highness, regarding Qing'er, this old subject will send people to look for her. There's no need for Your Highness to do so!"

With that, Prime Minister Wei walked away. Die'er glared at Tian Sisi fiercely and followed her with quick steps.

After getting on the carriage, Prime Minister Wei's face was livid, he did not say a word the entire time.

Although Die'er wanted to tell him about the grievances that Wei Qing had suffered in the Prince Chu’s Mansion, he didn't dare to do so.

"Eldest Miss?!" Die'er rubbed her eyes and rushed in front of Wei Qing, "It's really you!"

Wei Qing frowned, she faintly felt that this time's matter would be very serious.

The Prime Minister Wei quickly sized Wei Qing up from top to bottom. Suppressing the complicated feelings in his heart, he said in a low voice, "Let's talk inside!"

Just as he entered the hall, Prime Minister Wei ordered people to prepare food for Wei Qing.

Wei Qing looked at him with a beaming smile, "Father, don't look at me like that, it makes me feel extremely pressured!"

"Qing`er, why are you hiding this from your father?"

Prime Minister Wei only married a single wife in his life and had deep feelings for Madame Wei. He only had a few sons and a daughter. After the death of Madame Wei, he had never even thought about taking in a concubine.

His son Wei Jingnan was guarding the border, and he only had Wei Qing as his only daughter by his side, so he naturally doted on her. Otherwise, he wouldn't have helped to arrange the marriage between Xiao Qingqian and Wei Qing.

Wei Qing blinked, glancing at Die'er, and had already guessed that Die'er must have told Prime Minister Wei everything.

"Father, didn't I fear that you would worry?" Wei Qing smiled at him.

The self-blame and worry in Prime Minister Wei's eyes grew even more intense.

Perhaps he was wrong to help her marry the Prince Chu back then!

"Qing`er, since something like this has happened today, you might as well leave this Prince Chu alone!"

He Li?!

Wei Qing's eyes were sore, and a huge wave of warmth surged in her heart.

In ancient times, once a woman was married, it was as if the water was poured out. If she was abandoned by her husband's family, it would truly be a disgrace to her.

The fact that the Prime Minister Wei was able to support her and Li Jun was beyond Wei Qing's expectations.

"Father!"

Prime Minister Wei embraced her, his warm hands caressing the back of her head gently, "Child, I've made you suffer!"

Wei Qing unrestrainedly enjoyed the warmth of being cared for by her father, and said with a hum: "Father, I'm not suffering at all!"

"Eldest Miss, are you injured?"

Die'er's words were like a stone thrown into water, causing ripples.

"Just blood." Wei Qing quickly explained.

Prime Minister Wei held her shoulders, and looked at her seriously: "What exactly happened today?"

Everyone had said that Wei Qing had been taken away, but if the Prince Chu really cared about her, they would definitely accompany her back to the sect.

"Father, I'm really fine. Don't worry, I'm really hungry!"

Prime Minister Wei looked at her deeply and sighed, "Child!"

Wei Qing laughed, and rubbed his head against's shoulder, "Father, I won't leave Xiao Qingqian right now!"

These words once again caused the atmosphere to become gloomy.

"First Miss, that bitch, Tian Sisi, has tried to scheme against you time and time again.

"I just said, I won't leave him now!"

Die'er continued to persuade him, "Eldest Miss, why are you so stubborn!"

The prince didn't treat her well at all, so why did she have to suffer such a vexation?

"I want Huff!"

These four words resounded powerfully and arrogantly, but when it entered Prime Minister Wei's ears, it made him feel exceptionally gratified.

He was truly worthy of being the daughter of the Wei family. She was so tenacious and unyielding!

The butler's voice came from outside.

Wei Qing followed Prime Minister Wei to the dining room. Seeing the Phoenix Claw on the table, she suddenly thought of a man roasting a pheasant.

Who was he?

His hand subconsciously felt for the dagger in his sleeve, his eyes somewhat unfocused.

Wei Qing hurriedly withdrew her floating thoughts, and began to eat without care for her image.

Hearing the rumbling of Die'er's stomach, she patted the seat beside her and told her to sit down and have dinner with her.

Ever since Die'er had accompanied Wei Qing into the Prince Chu’s Mansion, she had been eating at the same table as her.

Die'er froze.

Wei Qing frowned, and immediately understood what was going on. She smiled and looked at Prime Minister Wei, "Father, Die'er is so loyal, and took good care of me, you wouldn't mind her sitting down to eat with us, right?"

Since the conversation had come to this, the Prime Minister Wei naturally could not object. He simply replied with an "En".

Die'er was a little troubled, but Wei Qing grabbed her wrist and sat her down.

Wei Qing picked a dish for Die'er, "Since father has agreed, you don't have to be so restrained!"

Die'er looked at Prime Minister Wei timidly, but when she saw that he did not speak, she lowered her head and quickly picked up the rice in her mouth.

After dinner, Prime Minister Wei called Wei Qing to the study room.

"Qing`er, there's only the two of us now. Tell me, what exactly happened?"
