Chapter 112: Saving the Crazy Mistress in Sheep's Clothing
Chapter 112: Saving the Crazy Mistress in Sheep's Clothing
To be more precise, they are two unlucky people.
Not far away, Song Yizi was coming out of a cosmetics shop with a woman, talking and laughing.
Wen Yang's eyes unconsciously turned cold almost the moment he saw the two people.
Because Wen Yang had already searched through the woman's face and found out her identity from his memory. She was Princess Yongming, Wen Yunqiu.
Wen Yunqiu is the daughter of Prince Jin. Because Prince Jin was pardoned by the previous emperor, he stayed in the capital of Ling State after he came of age.
So Wen Yunqiu can be considered as Wen Yang's cousin who grew up with him.
However, Wen Yang did not like this cousin very much, because her reputation outside was completely opposite to hers. She was the most knowledgeable, considerate and considerate royal lady in the city.
Moreover, this cousin has always looked down on Wen Yang's style of doing things, but because Wen Yang is the most beloved little princess of Emperor Ling, she dare not disparage her in person. She just always makes a subtle disparaging remark whenever they meet.
The original owner used to be unable to control her temper and would always be provoked into quarreling with Wen Yunqiu. This comparison made everyone feel that Princess Yongming was gentle, generous, and well-educated, while she was like a street shrew, without any of the dignity and elegance that a princess should have.
Coincidentally, at this moment, Song Yizi and Wen Yunqiu raised their eyes and saw Wen Yang who had just got off the carriage and Ling Han who was with Wen Yang.
Wen Yunqiu saw Ling Han, who looked delicate and handsome, and felt a trace of disdain in her heart. She stepped forward and said, "Isn't this Princess Wen Yang? You openly travel with your male favorites like this, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to find a husband in the future?" Although she was smiling, her tone was undisguisedly sarcastic. After all, Wen Yang was always surrounded by some low-level male favorites, and the person standing next to her now was Song Yizi!
Unexpectedly, Wen Yang raised his eyebrows nonchalantly after hearing this. He then glanced at Song Yizhi, who was dressed casually beside Wen Yunqiu, and said indifferently, "Cousin, if you consider me a male concubine just because I bring a personal bodyguard with me to protect my safety, then where did you find this male concubine?"
Wen Yang certainly knew Song Yizi's identity, but she pretended not to know at this moment and said that Song Yizi was Wen Yunqiu's male favorite.
Sure enough, after hearing her words, Song Yizi's face became noticeably gloomier.
But probably because of Princess Wen Yang's identity, she didn't say anything.
"You!" Wen Yunqiu seemed to have not expected Wen Yang to retort so sharply. For a moment, she was so angry that her face turned red.
However, in order to maintain her public image, she quickly calmed down. Wen Yunqiu snorted coldly and said, "Your behavior is usually not proper, so it leads to misunderstandings. The man next to me is different from the men in your mansion. This is the son of General Song, the youngest young general, Song Yizi."
After saying this, Wen Yunqiu raised her chin proudly, as if Song Yizi's identity made her very proud.
Wen Yang ignored her desire to compare with others. She looked at Song Yizhi with a smile, "The general is traveling with the princess so openly without any hesitation. Could it be that you two..."
Before Wen Yang could finish his words, Song Yizhi clasped his hands and said, "Your Highness has misunderstood. There is no relationship between me and the princess."
When Wen Yunqiu heard this, her body trembled, her face turned pale, and she murmured with trembling lips: "Yizhi...you..." It seemed that she couldn't believe that Song Yizhi would deny their relationship in front of Wen Yang, even though he had clearly expressed his feelings to her under the moonlight before...
A hint of reluctance flashed across Song Yizi's face, but thinking of the conversation the Second Prince had with him before, he ultimately did not explain anything to Wen Yunqiu, but simply lowered his eyes with a bit of forbearance.
When Wen Yunqiu saw Song Yizi's attitude, tears flashed in her eyes. In order to maintain her dignity, she said nothing, forced herself not to let the tears fall, and turned around and left, holding up her skirt.
Song Yizi didn't chase after him and just stood there.
Wen Yang smiled nonchalantly at Song Yizhi and asked, "General Song, aren't you going to chase the princess? I saw that the princess didn't look well when she left just now."
After Wen Yunqiu left, Song Yizi raised his eyes and said, "The princess is right. As a man, I have no feelings for the princess, so I should avoid any suspicion with her. Otherwise, it will damage her reputation."
"Really...are you really not interested?" Wen Yang asked again with a forced smile.
"I really didn't mean it." Song Yizi said seriously.
Wen Yang felt sick to his stomach after hearing Song Yizhi's answer. How dare Song Yizhi say that he had no feelings for Wen Yunqiu?!
In the original owner's memory, during the autumn hunting, Song Yizi showed off his superb archery skills and thoughtfulness like a peacock spreading its tail. He even hunted a fiery red fox for her, saying that he wanted her to make a winter scarf.
How could the original owner resist such a straightforward and sincere display of affection from a handsome and considerate man?
She almost immediately thought that Song Yizi was interested in her, so she asked Emperor Ling for permission to marry her.
But after the marriage, Song Yizi locked her in a dark room and looked at her with hatred countless times in front of her, blaming her for asking for an imperial decree to grant the marriage, which caused her to lose Princess Yongming, whom he was supposed to marry.
Over and over again in the dark room, he told the original owner about the good things about Princess Yongming, praising her gentleness, virtue, talent, beauty, kindness, and elegant character, and saying how much he loved her.
Then, she changed the subject and viciously disdained the original owner, calling her fickle and unvirtuous, saying she was dirty and worthless...
In his memory, Wen Yang thought that Song Yizi's feelings for Wen Yunqiu were so loyal.
However, she didn't expect that today Song Yizi would take the initiative to distance himself from Wen Yunqiu in front of her. In this way, the remarks Song Yizi made in the dark room in her memory were simply ridiculous.
This man, who is not even firm in his own position, clearly weighed the pros and cons and gave up the woman he liked, yet he still has the nerve to blame all the mistakes on the original owner. It's really ridiculous!
Wen Yang was too lazy to talk to Song Yizi anymore, so he turned to Ling Han and said, "Let's go to the shop to pick out swords." After that, he turned and walked towards the blacksmith shop.
When Song Yizhi heard that Wen Yang wanted to choose a sword, he took the initiative to speak: "Your Highness, do you want to choose a sword at the blacksmith shop? If so, I can help you..."
Unexpectedly, Ling Han, who had been standing silently beside Wen Yang, suddenly stepped forward and blocked Wen Yang's way. "As for choosing weapons, I have my own ideas. There's no need to trouble General Song."
Then Ling Han turned his head and looked at Wen Yang, "Your Highness, let's go."
Ling Han was standing right between her and Song Yizhi, completely blocking Song Yizhi's sight.
Wen Yang looked up at Ling Han's gentle profile, and she replied with a smile: "Okay."
Then he lowered his eyes, took Ling Han's hand that was hanging by his side, turned around and walked towards the blacksmith shop.
He didn't even give Song Yizi a spare glance, leaving Song Yizi standing there in a daze.
