The Favored Little Peasant Seizes the Heroine's Script!-Chapter 431 - 415: Attitude

The Eldest Princess’s words are too serious!

Wei Wushang, as the only son of the Eldest Princess, has no trace of a playboy temperament and is very filial to her. Now, with the Eldest Princess saying words like "die with regrets," what else can Wei Wushang say?

"Mother, is this really necessary?"

Wei Wushang knows that his dear mother is just speaking harshly, but he also understands that his mother truly means what she says. If he really refuses this marriage, the outcome would be difficult to predict.

"You ask if it’s necessary?"

"If you weren’t my son, do you think I would bother with you?"

"And from a young age, your mother taught you that face is something to be discarded when necessary!"

"Many people in this world are always putting on airs, wanting respect, and end up losing it. On the contrary, those who are shameless often gain face."

The Eldest Princess looked at her son with anger, suppressing the fury in her heart.

She, a dignified Eldest Princess, took the initiative to arrange this marriage; does that give her face?

Or should her only son live alone all his life to give her face?

The Eldest Princess usually doesn’t speak of these thoughts, but it doesn’t mean they don’t exist in her heart.

In ordinary times, those noblewomen around her won’t speak either, but who knows how they might talk about her behind her back.

But the Eldest Princess never speaks to Wei Wushang about these things because saying them would be of no help and would only cause trouble for her son.

Pitiful is a parent’s heart, they say, and it’s not just for show.

"Mother, please don’t say any more. I’ll listen to you, won’t I?"

Seeing his mother on the verge of tears, Wei Wushang could only obediently listen to her arrangements.

"You brat, don’t act as if you’ve been wronged!"

"Jiaojiao is a child of great fortune!"

"You can secretly rejoice if you marry her!"

The Eldest Princess got even angrier seeing her son’s aggrieved look.

Wei Wushang remained silent and didn’t argue.

The Eldest Princess tapped his forehead with her finger and said, "You don’t believe my words, do you?"

"Go back and think it over carefully!"

"If this child wasn’t of great fortune, given all she has experienced, do you think she could have the life she does today?"

After learning that Yuan Bao once saved Wei Wushang’s life, the Eldest Princess had someone investigate Yuan Bao’s life thoroughly.

Previously, when Yuan Bao became the godchild of Wei Shiyu and Mrs. Wei Shen, the Eldest Princess only had a general understanding, as it wasn’t a big deal.

But now, since it concerns her son’s marriage, even with the Astronomical Bureau’s approval, the Eldest Princess had to understand thoroughly to ensure nothing goes wrong.

After the investigation, the Eldest Princess had to admit to begrudging respect.

"Mother, could it be that this is why you want her as your daughter-in-law?"

Wei Wushang blinked, looking at his mother.

"Nonsense!"

The Eldest Princess snorted, "If this girl weren’t of great fortune, do you think I would propose this marriage? Don’t forget, you brat, your fate is under the Lonely Star’s influence!"

"Ordinary girls can’t withstand your Lonely Star fate!"

The Eldest Princess’s feelings were indeed complicated.

This marriage, in many ways, could be considered suitable.

After all, Yuan Yindi is now an Imperial Censor of two thousand stone, a favorite of Emperor Xia, and Ruan Wan is the granddaughter of the Eldest Princess.

As for Yuan Bao, she is herself the Princess Jiafu.

Such a status is quite a match for Wei Wushang.

The only minor flaw is the age difference between Yuan Bao and Wei Wushang.

Otherwise, this marriage would be just right.

"Mother, actually, I don’t necessarily have to marry!"

Wei Wushang whispered.

The Eldest Princess slammed the table angrily and said, "Are you trying to upset me?"

"I dare not!"

Wei Wushang quickly confessed and admitted his mistake.

"This matter is settled!"

"Once your father returns, after discussing with him, I’ll go to your grandmother and let your uncle issue a decree granting you two marriage!"

"However, before Jiaojiao grows up, you two cannot consummate the marriage!"

"I hear and obey!"

Wei Wushang was now at the mercy of his mother and dared not oppose her.

...

While the Eldest Princess had settled her son, in the Yuan Family Mansion, Old Yuan and Mrs. Zeng also learned about this matter from Yuan Yindi and Ruan Wan.

"This marriage isn’t suitable, is it?"

After hearing what Yuan Yindi and Ruan Wan had to say, Old Yuan pondered for a moment before speaking slowly, "I heard that the Fourteenth Prince is interested in our Jiaojiao!"

"The Wei Family isn’t bad, but compared to a prince, isn’t it a bit lacking?"

"Fifth child, I think we should reconsider this marriage!"

At Old Yuan’s words, the expressions of Yuan Yindi and Ruan Wan changed.

They were already aware of the Fourteenth Prince’s intentions towards Yuan Bao, but it was clear that this was impossible. The Eldest Princess had already made that clear.

"Father, the Fourteenth Prince is not a suitable match for Jiaojiao!"

"And the boy from the Wei Family is?"

Old Yuan snorted, "I heard that young master from the Wei Family is said to bring misfortune to his wife!"

"Fifth, you can’t mistreat Jiaojiao just because she’s not your biological child!"

This accusation infuriated Yuan Yindi and Ruan Wan.

"Father, my treatment of Jiaojiao can be attested by heaven and earth; how can you say such things about me and Wanwan?"

Yuan Yindi never expected his father to cast such aspersions upon them.

"Fifth, that’s not what your father meant; he’s just worried about Jiaojiao!"

Mrs. Zeng, seeing her son’s wrong attitude, quickly interceded to ease the tension.

Ruan Wan sat silently beside them, not speaking.

Regarding Yuan Bao’s marriage, she was arguably the least authoritative voice.

Despite her deep feelings for Yuan Bao, her lack of blood relation put her at an innate disadvantage.

Understanding this, Ruan Wan chose to remain silent.

"Fifth, you say the Fourteenth Prince isn’t right for Jiaojiao, but is the Wei boy a good match?"

"His reputation for bringing misfortune to his wife is well-known in Yunyang City; don’t pretend you don’t know."

Old Yuan remained unyielding, despite Yuan Yindi’s attitude.

In his view, if Yuan Bao was to marry, she should marry into the best family possible.

One option is a prince, and the other is a noble young master reputed to bring misfortune to his wife—it’s clear which is better, isn’t it?

"Father, Brother Wushang is indeed better than the Fourteenth Prince!"

"I can guarantee it!"
