Chapter 4 - Don't Be Ungrateful
Wei Qing stared at the medicine box for a good while, then threw it aside in disgust.
"Eldest Miss, why don't you use it?" Die'er could not follow Wei Qing's train of thoughts anymore.
"Many things are colorless and tasteless. If there is something added here, wouldn't my face be even more ruined?"
Hearing this, Die'er's expression changed abruptly.
"But this ointment was sent by the prince!" Die'er looked troubled.
She took the medicine box from Die'er's hands and used her hands to dig out a piece of it and casually wiped it on the kernels, "This will do!"
Die'er gave Wei Qing a thumbs up, but in a flash, she frowned again.
"Don't frown!" The sky will not fall! "
Die'er heaved a long sigh. "If the old master finds out about this, he'll be furious."
"Don't tell Father about this!" Wei Qing's face darkened.
Dia nodded.

Xiao Qingqian once again went to Tian Sisi's chamber.
Tian Sisi was still under the blanket, she looked at the ball of cloth on the bed, and took a deep breath, her tone sounding a little stiff.
"Si'er, you just went to Wei Qing's chamber again?"
Beneath the blanket, Tian Sisi's eyes froze for a moment.
In the past, no matter what Wei Qing said, Xiao Qingqian would never believe it, nor would he use such a tone to interrogate him!
"Prince, are you angry with me?" Tian Sisi sobbed, her voice was stifled under the blanket, making the sound a little indistinct.
Xiao Qingqian clenched both his hands tightly, and his jade thumb ring finger felt a bit of pain on his palm.
He stepped forward and lifted the covers.
Originally, Tian Sisi did not plan to let him succeed. However, that unfathomable tone of his made her not dare to continue tormenting him, as she was afraid of angering him!
After all, all men were fickle.
Initially, he had promised himself that the position of Prince Chu would belong to her and he would change at will.
"My prince, I'm just worried that Elder Sister Princess might think too much!"
Tian Sisi's eyes were filled with tears.
Xiao Qingqian's originally cold expression eased up a bit, and he reached out with his long arm, pulling her into his embrace.
"Si'er, This King knows that I have wronged you. However, this King's promise from that day is still a promise!"
Tian Sisi frowned, after pondering for a moment, he raised his misty eyes and stared straight into his eyes that were filled with "sincerity".
"Your highness, I won't seek for the favor. Moreover, as long as I can stay by your side, I'll already feel satisfied. Really!"
He looked at her and his heart fiercely clenched. "Si'er, just now, Imperial Father summoned this king to the palace and brought up this matter!"
Tian Sisi's heart thumped heavily. "Why would the emperor ask about this?"
"I'm afraid some rumors have spread out!"
"Your Highness, it definitely won't be the Elder Sister Princess, please don't doubt her!"
Originally, Xiao Qingqian did not suspect Wei Qing. After all, ever since she had married into the Prince Chu’s Mansion, she had not had the chance to go out, so she was unable to spread these words to others.
Wei Qing was completely different from before, he was really unsure if the person who spread the news was Wei Qing or not.
"Your highness, I naturally hope for peace in the back of my house. This way, Your highness won't have to worry about anything. Only, Elder Sister Princess seems to have a great prejudice against me."
Xiao Qingqian frowned and thought for a moment, "This matter, I will naturally mention Wei Qing, do not worry too much!"
Tian Sisi nodded slightly.

In the evening, as Wei Qing was preparing to eat dinner with Die'er, she suddenly heard a report from Dark Guard and told her to go to the dining hall to have dinner with Xiao Qingqian.
Hearing that, Wei Qing almost spat out her food.
The word "not" was still on the tip of his tongue, when Wei Qing changed her mind.
Hiding was not an option, he had to figure out the reason behind Xiao Qingqian's actions.
"Alright!"
Die'er was about to help Wei Qing tidy up the wrinkles on her clothes, but she was stopped by Wei Qing.
He wasn't any kind of great character. He was already a hateful person, so there was no need for him to dress up for him.
Die'er followed behind Wei Qing worriedly, and could not help but sigh.
When Wei Qing arrived at the dining hall, she saw Tian Sisi feeding Xiao Qingqian from afar.
Ye Zichen clenched his hand tightly under his sleeve, while anger flashed in his eyes, and she quickly returned to normal.
In the past, she had overestimated Xiao Qingqian, but today, she had finally seen the face of a slut!
"Concubine Tian is the flesh and blood of the Duke, her body is extremely weak. If she were to fall down and fall on top of me again, I would really be speechless!"
These words, were clearly saying that Tian Sisi had ulterior motives, that Xiao Qingqian was blind!
Tian Sisi's face suddenly changed several times, and Xiao Qingqian's face was shockingly green.
Xiao Qingqian squinted as he stared at her coldly.
"These dishes really aren't bad!"
"The Prince has said that we must take care of everything. Elder Sister Princess, if you have offended anyone, you must do it with a lot of manpower!" Tian Sisi was the first to speak, breaking the strange atmosphere.
Wei Qing thought in her heart. She really knows how to pretend!
She enjoyed it with one hand and looked at Tian Sisi with interest.
Being captivated by her pair of eyes that seemed to be able to see through one's soul, Tian Sisi only felt aghast, a chill spreading down her spine.
Wei Qing smiled, "My prince, if you want to have a happy ending to your family, it's actually not difficult at all."
From the moment Wei Qing appeared in the dining hall, she had always been sharp-tongued and did not give Tian Sisi any face at all. Did she really think that just because she had the Prime Minister's backing, she could go against the rules?
He could clearly feel that Xiao Qingqian's body was getting lower and lower in pressure. Wei Qing's heart palpitated, but right after, the corner of her mouth curved up into an extremely beautiful and mocking smile, "Tell Concubine Tian not to run to my bedroom, if Concubine Tian is able to do so, it would naturally be at home, at home, at home, at home, at home, at home!"
Dark clouds quickly gathered in Xiao Qingqian's eyes. With a "peng" sound, his iron fist landed on the table, shaking the entire table.
The corner of Tian Sisi's mouth quickly flashed with a dark and strange sneer.
Wei Qing, oh Wei Qing, you are getting bolder and bolder right now, you actually dare to act rashly in front of the Duke!
Xiao Qingqian just stared at her in anger, while Wei Qing, although she was extremely afraid, forced herself not to lose her aura and meet her eyes.
"Wei Qing, you don't need to know what's good for you!"
