The Favored Little Peasant Seizes the Heroine's Script!-Chapter 416 - 406: Yuan Bao: Turns Out the Clown Was Me! (Part 3)
The Fourteenth Prince has not married yet. It is said that a Daoist foretold his fate, advising that he should not marry before the age of thirty; otherwise, he would face a life-threatening danger. Then why hasn’t Wei Wushang married?
"County Princess, I happen to know a thing or two about this!"
Nanny Xue, upon hearing Yuan Bao’s question, although surprised for a moment, quickly offered an answer.
"Heir Wushang has had three arranged marriages!"
"Before he was born, the Eldest Princess agreed with the similarly pregnant Marchioness Nanling that if both gave birth to a son and a daughter, they would marry; otherwise, they would become sworn siblings."
"However, an incident occurred during the childbirth of the Marchioness Nanling, and both mother and daughter did not survive!"
"Later, the Eldest Princess arranged for Heir Wushang to be engaged to the granddaughter of the former imperial tutor, Lord Sun. Unfortunately, Miss Sun accidentally fell into the water and passed away less than a month after the engagement was made!"
"Following this, Heir Wushang was betrothed to the youngest daughter of Prince Lanling."
"Six months later, Prince Lanling rebelled..."
Nanny Xue stopped speaking after sharing this.
Yuan Bao stared dumbfoundedly at Nanny Xue, somewhat frightened.
Is Wei Wushang cursed with the fate of the lone star of Tian Sha?
No, that can’t be right. The lone star of Tian Sha should mean one’s relatives are all deceased. Yet, his parents are alive and well, and nothing untoward has befallen the Wei Family.
To put it bluntly, Wei Wushang is destined to bring misfortune to his wives!
"Nanny Xue, does this mean Uncle Wushang has not married because he is fatefully ill-starred for wives?"
"Yes, County Princess, it seems so."
Nanny Xue nodded gently. "From what I know, over the years, for Heir Wushang’s marriage, the Eldest Princess has not spared any effort. Yet, no family has responded."
Heir with a reputation for misfortunes!
In reality, any sensible family wouldn’t gamble their precious daughters on such a fate.
After all, maintaining one’s dignity is paramount.
If their daughter suffers an accident upon marriage, they are the textbook example of gaining nothing but loss.
"County Princess, why do you inquire about Heir Wushang’s marriage?"
"Oh, I thought about the matter with the Fourteenth Prince and then recalled that Uncle Wushang hasn’t married either. It feels peculiar!"
Yuan Bao was feeling quite conflicted at this moment.
For a moment, she even considered that if after her coming-of-age, Wei Wushang hadn’t married, perhaps they could pair up.
But then, thinking of the generational gap between them, she felt awkward about it.
Of course, the real issue was that she hadn’t had much interaction with Wei Wushang.
When she was in Yunyang City, they interacted more, but back then, she was just a two-year-old baby. Once she left Yunyang City for Yanmen County, the interaction ceased.
Well, not completely ceased, occasionally there was contact because of You Cang.
But Yuan Bao wouldn’t vainly presume Wei Wushang harbored any designs towards her. After all, even now, she was still just a child.
With Wei Wushang’s temperament, surely he regarded her as a child.
After Nanny Xue departed, Yuan Bao lay prostrate on the bed again.
She contemplated the possibility of pairing up with Wei Wushang.
Indeed, it seemed quite probable.
In fact, it seemed, perhaps, maybe, there really was a strong bond between the two.
Back when she left the Yuan Family, due to You Cang, she was taken back to the Wei Family by Wei Wushang, altering the course of her life dramatically.
And now, upon returning to the Capital, she went to Yunyang City once and saved Wei Wushang.
Is this considered fate?
Or is it considered a karmic bond?
Yuan Bao was struggling to make sense of it.
Nevertheless, she had some thoughts of her own.
To summarize, Wei Wushang definitely fits her preferences!
He is good-looking and talented, and what’s more, he treats her kindly.
Alright, Wei Wushang’s kindness was not the romantic kind but rather the kindness of an elder towards a junior, which is quite vexing!
Yuan Bao lay on the bed, raising her hand and patting the bed.
She suddenly felt that her journey through time was even more chaotic!
A child’s body with an adult’s mindset, isn’t this a recipe for disturbance!
Yet, such was reality, and no matter how frustrated Yuan Bao was, she had to face it.
"County Princess!"
"County Princess!"
While Yuan Bao was feeling conflicted and distressed, Hu Niuniu’s voice sounded outside the door.
"What’s the matter?"
Yuan Bao replied listlessly.
"County Princess, Miss Fourth from the Cui Family is here to play with you!"
Hu Niuniu’s voice was loud.
Yuan Bao, hearing her shout, quickly sat up.
Miss Fourth from the Cui Family!
Cui Lai!
Among the few girls she had known for over eight years!
