Chapter: 101 . 2 out of 171

Outside the divider screen, Old Madam was very touched by Zhao Jie's words . She hadn't expected that Prince Jing had been suffering for so many years because of Ah Luo . If Ah Luo's engagement with Song Hui hadn't been canceled, what would he have done? Would he continue to wait?

Thinking of this, she felt that he was rather pitiful .

The other madams were even more surprised . They hadn't expected that Prince Jing, who was feared by everyone in the capital, had such deep love towards Wei Luo . . .

Old Madam's heart softened . Originally, she had felt somewhat fearful towards Zhao Jie . Now, most of the fear was gone . It seemed that Zhao Jie's feelings for Wei Luo were sincere and true . She had been worried that he wanted to use Wei Luo to strengthen his relationship with Duke Ying's family . Old Madam's tone relaxed as she amicably said, "This old lady will first thank your Highness for coming here for Ah Luo . But, Duke Ying and Ah Luo's father are both not here . This is about Ah Luo's most important life event . I have to discuss this matter with them first . . . "

Zhao Jie put down the teacup and nodded to indicate that he understood .

Originally, before he had come here, he hadn't expected to succeed on this first visit . Now that Old Madam had said those words, he knew what to do . He stood up and said, "Since it's like that, then I'll have to ask Old Madam and Duke Ying to discuss this matter . This prince will come back here in a few days . "

Old Madam let out a sigh in relief, "Thank you your Highness for understanding . "

Zhao Jie didn't stay for long . After finishing his cup of tea, he bid farewell .

Old Madam personally sent him to the entrance .

At Duke Ying's residence's entrance, Zhao Jie turned around and mounted a horse . He tightened his grip on the reins and slowly rode the fine horse away . His heart wasn't disappointed . It wouldn't be good for him to succeed on his first visit . It wouldn't show off Wei Luo's preciousness . He regarded her as treasure and was naturally willing to visit her home several times for her . If he didn't succeed the first time, there was still the second and third time . Anyways, sooner or later, she would be his . No one else would be able to steal her away .

Later that day, Duke Ying and Wei Kun returned in the evening .

Old Madam told them what had happened during the day . The two people were utterly surprised .

However, Wei Chang Hong, who had also returned with the two people, was very calm . He sat there without any change in his expression . His emotions were hidden and he didn't say any words .

Wei Kun walked back and forth . He was both overwhelmed by favor from his superior and also anxious . It took him a long time to finally say a complete sentence . "Prince Jing wants to marry Ah Luo . Could it be for Duke Ying's family?"

He had the same thoughts as Old Madam . He was also worried that Zhao Jie was marrying Wei Luo to use her . If this was true, then Wei Luo definitely couldn't marry him . How could she be happy if she was married to man that wanted to use her to grab more power?

Old Madam shook her head, "I don't think . . . " Then, she repeated the words that Zhao Jie had said in the receiving room . In the end, she lamented, "I didn't expect that Prince Jing could become infatuated . "

Wei Chang Hong clenched his hand around the armrest .

Hearing her words, Wei Kun's worries were alleviated, but he still didn't want to agree to this marriage . He wanted Ah Luo to marry a family that had an equal status with theirs . In the future, she would support her husband and educate her children . The rest of her life would be peaceful and happy . But now that Prince Jing was interested in her, it was impossible for her life to be peaceful . He won't mention the future for now . The current situation wasn't hopeful either . Zhao Jie's relationship with Fifth Prince Zhao Zhang was like fire and water . No matter who became the emperor, the rest of Ah Luo's life wouldn't be dull .

Wei Kun felt both joyful and sorrowful . Sitting down in a chair, he couldn't make a decision for a long time .

However, even if he didn't make a decision, what will happen, will still happen .

--------

Seven days later, Zhao Jie came to Duke Ying's residence again .

This time, he didn’t come here by himself .

A woman followed him down the carriage . She was wearing a moon white cloak embroidered with silver thread . A veil hid her face . But from her body's appearance, she was a woman with a very noble temperament .

Last time, Zhao Jie had been in a hurry when he came here, so he didn't bring anything here . This time, he had especially prepared nourishing herbs and several kinds of antiques to give to Duke Ying and Old Madam .

When Duke Ying took the items and led him inside the residence, his line of sight landed on the woman behind Zhao Jie . Puzzled, he tried to figure out her identity, "This is . . . "

The woman stopped walking . As she slowly took her off her veil, a beautiful and noble face was slowly revealed . First, it was her straight eyebrows, then her beautiful eyes were seen .

Empress Chen faintly smiled . She deliberately asked, "Duke Ying, you don't even recognize this empress?"

Greatly shocked, Duke Ying hurriedly led everyone to kneel . As he bent his head to salute, he said, "Greetings Your Majesty . "
