Chapter 669: Future Wife

She was a woman. Could Wen Lancheng not tell that she was seducing him?!

“Master… I’ve missed you…” Pei Wanyue said shyly.

Wen Lancheng tidied up his clothes and looked at her fiery red dress. He thought it was inappropriate. “Didn’t I tell you that as a concubine, all you’ll have to do is to behave yourself? You’re not allowed to wear this red dress anymore.”

Pei Wanyue wanted to bite him. However, she said aggrievedly, “Master, do you dislike me for insulting your reputation? But I admire you, don’t you know that? That day when you rode on a horse and paraded the streets, I thought you looked like the bright moon in the sky. I thought about you day and night. I only hoped that I could be by your side and shower in your glory…”

As she spoke, she walked forward and pinched the corner of Wen Lancheng’s clothes. “Master, this humble one… will not wear this dress in the future. Just… take it off for me…”

Every time she came over, Wen Lancheng would try his best to control his emotions. Now that he heard such shameful words, he could not help but blush.

This woman was really… shameless.

“What have you done recently? Have you left the house?” Wen Lancheng restrained his emotions and asked again.

He could not just ignore this concubine. After all, this woman should have been sent here by someone else.

By refusing her request, he should be able to make her and the mastermind angry.

“I haven’t left the house recently.” Pei Wanyue’s voice sounded rather aggrieved.

She really had not left the house. Not only had she not left the house… No one had spoken to her for a long time.

She had her guards against the maidservants here, and they did not pay much attention to her. She had a feeling that they were all Wen Lancheng’s spies, so she tried her best to behave and leave a good impression.

“Master, when will Eldest Sister come?” Pei Wanyue asked.

Wen Lancheng thought that the eldest sister she was referring to was his official wife, so he said, “In a few months.”

She should be on her way here.

“Master, don’t worry. Eldest Sister’s health is lacking. I will definitely take good care of her in the future…” Pei Wanyue had always been unwilling to admit that she was just a mere concubine, so she did not dare to think about this matter recently.

However, at this moment, she had no choice but to show her weakness.

“Her health is lacking? How can that be? This marriage was decided by the family elder. I’ve read the letter. Young Lady Ying is in good health. She would hardly get ill.” Wen Lancheng was very satisfied with his future wife.

His future wife was called Feng Yingying. Her family background was low, and her parents were ordinary farmers. Her family had a small piece of land.

He had met her by chance when he was back in his hometown. That lady’s parents were reasonable. His brother had once studied together with him at home. However, after receiving the title of an elementary scholar, he stayed in the village as a teacher. Therefore, Feng Yingying had also learned a little bit. She was hardworking and capable. She was indeed great.

Pei Wanyue was stunned. “Young Lady Ying? I-Isn’t it Xie Qiao?”

She had not left the house recently, so she did not hear the latest news.

She only knew that Wen Lancheng was about to marry a wife, so she naturally thought that this wife was Xie Qiao.

However, he was talking about Young Lady Ying now? Who was that?!

Wen Lancheng looked at her in surprise. “How can you say such nonsense? Young Lady Xie and her elder brother are my benefactors. I only have respect for them and wouldn’t dare to overstep my boundaries. Furthermore, the royal family has already decreed that Young Lady Xie will be married to the Crown Prince. Recently, the Ministry of Rites has set a date for the wedding. She will enter the East Palace in February, no?”

Pei Wanyue widened her eyes.

Her ears suddenly rang.

What did Wen Lancheng say? The person he was going to marry was not Xie Qiao?!

Xie Qiao was now… The future Princess Consort?! From now on, she would be high and mighty, becoming a member of the royal family, having a good life without having to work at all?!
