CHAPTER 289: CHAPTER 289: UNWELCOME

Women of this time are mostly resigned to their fate.

Because women of this era were taught from a young age, "marry a chicken follow a chicken, marry a dog follow a dog," if they accidentally married a bad person, they could only endure it.

Even the young ladies from large families were generally like this.

But Sheng Xueyi was not a person of this time; as a transmigrator, she came from a later era. In her heart, there was no concept of male superiority and female inferiority.

On the surface, she adhered to the constraints of male dominance and was filled with awe for royal power.

Yet, once matters involved herself, the conventions of this era were, in Sheng Xueyi’s view, things that could be broken.

What about the Prince?

With two shoulders carrying one head, they would still die if killed!

...

"Miss, rest assured, I will handle this matter properly!"

Mrs. Wu decisively made the promise after hearing Sheng Xueyi’s decision to assassinate the Fourteenth Prince.

"Mrs. Wu, we have only one chance; we must not make any mistakes!"

Sheng Xueyi was also somewhat anxious.

Although she made this decision, assassinating a prince was no trivial matter.

"Miss, rest assured!"

Mrs. Wu was not an ordinary person. If it weren’t for owing Sheng Xueyi a great favor, she wouldn’t be by her side caring for her.

While Mrs. Wu went to arrange the assassination of the Fourteenth Prince, the Fourteenth Prince had already arrived at the Wei Family, met the Eldest Princess, and also saw his cousin Wei Wushang.

The Eldest Princess merely met the Fourteenth Prince briefly, then tasked her son Wei Wushang with entertaining him.

Wei Wushang’s relationship with the Fourteenth Prince was evidently not good.

Though ordered by his mother to entertain the Fourteenth Prince, his attitude was clearly perfunctory.

"Cousin, am I really so unwelcome by you?"

The Fourteenth Prince looked at Wei Wushang cheerfully.

Wei Wushang glanced at him and said, "Fourteenth Cousin, do you think I should welcome you?"

The feud between the two truly has a long history.

Even when they were children, they often quarreled.

Despite being close in age, they just couldn’t get along and would often argue, neither willing to back down.

For their interactions, the Eldest Princess and Imperial Concubine Yi often raised complaints with Emperor Xia.

Unfortunately, not only did Emperor Xia not intervene, he was rather amused by it.

"Do you think it works?"

The Fourteenth Prince rolled his eyes.

Wei Wushang snorted and said, "Since you know it doesn’t work, then stop wasting your breath. Unless one day you beat me, there will certainly never be a day of harmonious coexistence between us."

Some resentments, Wei Wushang felt he could hold on to for a lifetime.

Similarly, the Fourteenth Prince did as well.

Their relationship truly couldn’t be called good.

Or perhaps, their relationship was simply known as loving enemies.

"Cousin, you’re really being unreasonable!"

The Fourteenth Prince listened to Wei Wushang’s words, feeling quite troubled.

"If you think so, you can choose not to linger in front of me!"

Wei Wushang really didn’t put up with the Fourteenth Prince’s antics.

"Alright, alright, you’re formidable, I admit defeat!"

The Fourteenth Prince relented quite straightforwardly.

At this moment, he really didn’t want to stir up more trouble.

His brother was exceptionally steady and experienced, beyond comparison. With just a bit more time, his brother could possibly ascend to the Crown Prince’s position.

Wei Wushang looked at the Fourteenth Prince in his current carefree and unbothered manner, snorted, and said, "Fourteenth Cousin, can’t we stop playing these deceitful little tricks?"
