Chapter 299 - 299 Sun Family
299 Sun Family
“Your Highness, the Drunken Fairy Building is just ahead, so let’s go over and have a few drinks!”
Before Lu Ze could flare up, Pei Qian pulled the unwilling fourth prince away, temporarily resolving the crisis.
“Song Tao, what’s wrong with you?” The fourth prince asked Pei Qian with a dark expression. It wasn’t until they entered the private room on the second floor of the Drunken Fairy Building that he finally broke free from Pei Qian’s grip. He turned to look at him unhappily and complained, “Why? Do I have to put up with a commoner’s attitude now?”
“Your Highness, don’t forget that you haven’t taken the position yet!” There were no outsiders here, so Pei Qian couldn’t be bothered to pretend anymore. He looked at the fourth prince as he retorted bluntly, “Therefore, it’s not time to shed pretenses yet!
Erlang is someone who can help you stabilize the north. Now, you’re trying to snatch his wife just because of her beauty. Have you thought about the consequences if this matter blows up?
What would those ministers would think when they saw your current actions?
“I believe you also know that the Third Prince is trying his best to find fault with you, so shouldn’t you restrain yourself?”
Pei Qian’s words brought the fourth prince’s back to his senses. He stared at Pei Qian for a long time before calming down and regaining his usual refined demeanor.
“I lost my composure.” After the fourth prince admitted his mistake decisively, he walked to the table and poured himself a glass of wine. Then, he raised his head and drank it. After a long time, he continued, “Song Tao, you’re the person who understands me the most in this world.
I’ve really had enough!
How am I inferior to Third Brother? Why doesn’t Father care about me?! Even Mother has never thought about what I want the most.
Mother refused to let me marry the person I wanted to marry!
Not only was she unwilling, but she even made me marry the person I hated the most!
“Now, the whereabouts of the person I wanted to marry are unknown and her fate is unknown, but my mother actually asked me to marry her sister! You’ve seen that woman before. She’s arrogant and willful, but she pretends to be virtuous and kind. She’s so pretentious that it’s disgusting!”
Pei Qian didn’t interrupt. He only let the fourth prince vent all his dissatisfaction and resentment before walking to the table and sitting down next to him. “But Your Highness still agreed to this arrangement, right?”
“So what?!” The fourth prince slammed his palm on the table and turned to glare at Pei Qian. “Do you think I wanted to? What else could I have done?
No matter how I hate that woman, I can only marry that woman!
Did I do anything wrong?
Song Tao, I’ll definitely find her! Definitely!”
Pei Qian took the fourth prince away. With Lu Ze’s temper, it was impossible for Lu Ze to calm down so quickly. However, when he thought about how it was rare for him to accompany Lin Suisui to the lantern show tonight, Lu Ze quickly restrained his emotions as he walked along the streets with Lin Suisui.
Naturally, no one mentioned the incident with the fourth prince.
The end of the Lantern Festival meant the real beginning of a new year. After being idle for so many days, Lin Suisui could finally start working on the opening of her shop.
Compared to the shop she had been thinking about opening previously, Lin Suisui was actually more concerned about the medical center she had decided to open later on. Therefore, she was very attentive about this matter and didn’t dare to slack off at all.
Of course, there was also good news.
The six soldiers who had been addicted to hemp leaves had finally recovered and their addictions were under control. Now, they were getting better by the day. She believed that if they continued to persist in their treatment, they would recover completely very soon.
It was also because these soldiers’ conditions had improved that Doctor Luo and the others were finally free to deal with the opening of the medical center.
Amidst this bustle, Lin Suisui finally saw the Sun family, who had come from afar.
However, to Lin Suisui’s surprise, the person who came this time was Sun Wan’er, whom she had once saved.
“Madam Liu, I really didn’t expect you to be General Wei Bei’s wife.”
When Sun Wan’er saw Lin Suisui, she smiled and was about to bow to her when Lin Suisui came forward to stop her. “Don’t stand on ceremony. After receiving your father’s reply, I was thinking that it’ll be a few days before you guys came over, but I didn’t expect you to come over personally so soon.”
“I’m bored at home now, so I might as well help my father and brother manage their business. My life is much smoother than before!”
Sun Wan’er was no longer as gloomy as when they met previously. She looked outgoing and relaxed, so it was obvious that she had been doing well recently.
“Madam Liu, I won’t hide it from you. I’ve already divorced and the child is mine! All of this is thanks to you. If you hadn’t saved my life, I wouldn’t have had the courage to take this step.”
Sun Wan’er told Lin Suisui everything that had happened after Lin Suisui and the others left. In the end, she didn’t forget to thank Lin Suisui for saving her life.
It turned out that after Lin Suisui and Lu Ze left, after Sun Wan’er, who had given birth, she realized that she really wanted a divorce.
However, Sun Wan’er didn’t act rashly and fight her in-laws head-on. Instead, she chose to endure the humiliation and act like she believed the excuse that all of this was an accident.
However, after Sun Wan’er returned to her in-laws’ house and obtained all the evidence that the other party wanted to kill her, she immediately returned to her family and cut ties with them.
Her mother-in-law and sister-in-law were also involved in the scheme, so in the face of such evidence, her in-laws, who were originally unwilling to give in and wanted to kill Sun Wan’er, instantly fell silent.
They didn’t dare to take the risk. If Sun Wan’er really submitted the evidence to the government, not only would they be convicted, but their reputation would also be ruined!
Therefore, in the end, her mother-in-law and sister-in-law had no choice but to compromise. Not only did they agree to Sun Wan’er’s request for a divorce, but they also let her take the child away.
“In the end, that man even knelt at the entrance of my house to pretend that he felt repentant!” At this point, Sun Wan’er couldn’t help but snort and the disdain in her tone couldn’t be hidden. “Of course he felt repentant. If it weren’t for my money, they wouldn’t even be able to eat their fill, so how could they care about their pride?!”
