The Whole Dynasty Spoils the Tyrant's Beloved Youngest Daughter-Chapter 488 - 486: Long Hair Tied to His Heart: Yu Wei Side Story (12)
Madam Song turned around with a smile on her face and walked away.
As soon as she turned, her smile vanished instantly, replaced by hatred, resentment, and disgust...
Jun Yu observed these silent exchanges with keen eyes. After Madam Song turned, he sensed the lingering resentment emanating from her, but he said nothing.
He tapped his fingers on the table, waiting for Song Wei to be brought in.
He had thought he would be waiting for a long time, but surprisingly, Madam Song quickly brought Song Wei in.
Song Wei was meticulously dressed at this moment.
She wore a light yellow narrow-sleeved, waist-tightened long dress, her hair styled in the usual bun, but compared to before, she had more ornaments in her hair and wore earrings.
However, the colors of the ornaments in her hair were too bright and flamboyant, which not only overshadowed her natural elegance but also added a hint of the commercial aura of a merchant’s family.
She appeared somewhat vulgar.
This style of dressing was very unsuitable for Song Wei.
Jun Yu only needed a glance to know that Song Wei’s attire today was not of her own choosing; it was forced upon her by Madam Song.
He felt even more sympathetic towards Song Wei in his heart.
"My lord, I have brought Xiao Wei," said Madam Song.
Mr. Song nodded, very satisfied with Song Wei’s attire. He turned to Jun Yu and said, "Seventeenth Prince, look, she is here."
Jun Yu: "Hmm."
Since being brought into the flower hall, Song Wei lowered her head, not wanting to look at her so-called family nor handle the so-called guest, even if he was a prince. She appeared disinterested, so much so that she didn’t realize the visitor was Jun Yu.
Until a slender, well-defined hand suddenly held her cold little hand, she didn’t have time to feel the warmth emanating from this hand before being led a few steps forward by its owner.
Instinctively, she wanted to shake it off, not wanting to have her hand held, but upon raising her eyes, she saw an acquaintance looking at her, his eyes filled with laughter.
It seemed that seeing her brought him happiness.
Ah Yu?
Song Wei was surprised.
Jun Yu led Song Wei to his previous seat, looking her over as if inspecting whether a lost treasure was intact.
Song Wei felt uncomfortable under his somewhat burning gaze, just about to say something, when she felt a hand remove something from her head.
Upon looking, she discovered it was all the various decorative hairpins and earrings that her mother had forcibly made her wear.
Jun Yu was carefully removing them one by one. After removing them, he placed them on the table beside him and took out a golden peony hairpin from his sleeve.
"Xiao Wei is naturally elegant; fragmented hairpins do not suit her," Jun Yu reasoned convincingly, "I have a golden hairpin here that suits her well."
After speaking, making use of his height advantage, Jun Yu helped Song Wei put on the golden hairpin she had previously refused to accept no matter what.
The golden hairpin was luxurious and noble. For most people wearing it, its inherent grandeur could be overpowering, reducing the wearer to an accessory.
But Song Wei was different. Song Wei had a unique temperament, and when this golden hairpin was placed on her, it only served to complement her, not overshadow. Indeed, it added a touch of dignity, compensating for her delicate yet unremarkable looks.
The Song family’s eldest and second young ladies were furious seeing the golden hairpin on Song Wei.
That golden hairpin was clearly crafted by a master craftsman, extraordinarily valuable and incomparable to the pile of ornaments Song Wei previously wore.
The difference was as vast as heaven and earth.
Furthermore, a hairpin is an item given to a legitimate wife.
What is the meaning of this Seventeenth Prince? He looked down on them, who were legitimate daughters, yet favored this girl raised in obscurity? Does he want to give her the status of a legitimate wife?
What does she have to deserve this?
Song Wanwan and Song Manman were unable to contain their anger, stomping their feet in frustration for all to see.
Mr. Song glanced at the two sisters and then said to Jun Yu, "Seventeenth Prince, my third daughter is already promised to another family; she’s to be wed tomorrow. If you like daughters of the Song family, would you consider my other two daughters?"
"Both of my other daughters are proficient in every art; they are in no way inferior to Xiao Wei."
Ha! What words.
Truly a disgrace as a father.
Jun Yu cast a disdainful glance at Mr. Song, saying, "Whomever this prince has taken a liking to, who dares to compete with this prince? Who could compete with this prince?"
Mr. Song: "......"
"As for your other two daughters, this prince is not interested; you should seek another suitable match!"
Song Wei was focused on the Seventeenth Prince and this prince, looking at Jun Yu in confusion, "Ah Yu, what is going on?"
This matter couldn’t be explained in a few words, and Jun Yu had no intention of explaining at the moment. He patted Song Wei’s hand, signaling her to be at ease and leave everything to him.
Although Song Wei didn’t know what plan Jun Yu was playing at, she still nodded cooperatively.
Jun Yu directly produced a paper stamped with his personal seal and handed it to Mr. Song, "Mr. Song, write whatever you want, consider it my betrothal gift to Xiao Wei." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Upon hearing this, Song Wei’s heart raced and filled with unease. She clung to her clothes with both hands, nervously twisting them.
In no time, her lapel was crumpled.
"...Write directly? Can I really?" Mr. Song was delighted at this windfall, "But, but..."
"Are you worried Mr. Li, the County Magistrate, might be unhappy?" Jun Yu asked.
Mr. Song nodded, "Yes, after all, tomorrow is supposed to be their wedding day."
"Regarding Mr. Li, I will send someone to resolve it; tomorrow, they will not come to fetch the bride. Mr. Song need not worry," Jun Yu assured, "At this moment, I only need Mr. Song’s word. I wish for the three letters and six etiquettes, to formally marry the third young lady. Will Mr. Song agree?"
According to Song Wei’s status, marrying into an ordinary official’s family as a concubine would already be considered an advance, yet now, a prince wants to marry her as a legitimate wife?
Song Wei was stunned, as was everyone in the Song family.
Could it be that this Seventeenth Prince has lost his mind?
What does Song Wei have that is worth him treating her this way?
Mr. Song was also very surprised, but besides his surprise, he considered the benefits this marriage could bring him.
A prince indeed has grand gestures!
To actually give him a blank paper to fill with any terms he wants?
This indeed showed sincerity.
As long as Jun Yu handled matters on Mr. Li’s side, he wouldn’t mind Jun Yu marrying Song Wei.
It’s just a pity that such a good marriage won’t befall his other two daughters.
With a deep sigh, he said, "Seventeenth Prince, your sincerity is apparent to me, but this matter concerns my young daughter’s entire life. I need to consider it carefully. Would it be possible for you to stay in the household for a while, and I shall give you an answer after some time?"
