Arc 3 Chapter 141: Scheming Lord, Cooperate a Bit (28)
Weichi Che didn't even spare her a glance and his sharp eyes swept over the people in the room. His brows furrowed like sharp knives.
"She's not here?"
"Where has she gone?"
"Weichi Che..." Marquis of AnYong wanted to reprimand him when he saw his rudeness but Lady Luo quickly tugged at his sleeve.
"We didn't expect General Weichi Che to visit today. May I ask what the purpose of your visit is?"
"Some minor incidents occurred in the court the other day nearly affecting the adult ceremony of County Princess Fuhuan. Today I came to make amends." Weichi Che spoke eloquently, but his attitude was extremely detached.
Lady Luo's face froze and she realized that this was just an excuse. He might be looking to cause trouble for the Marquis of An Yong's residence.
"Still standing there doing nothing?" Lady Luo berated the pale-faced servant beside her.
Only then did the servant react and he quickly took the gift box from Weichi Che's hand.
"Have you eaten General Weichi Che?" Lady Luo asked trying to be accommodating.
"I haven't." Weichi Che replied coldly, his gaze falling on a woman in her forties. A glint of interest flashed in his eyes. "Who are you?"
Marquis of An Yong's wife was startled, trembling as she raised her head unable to speak for a long time.
Lady Luo glared at her in annoyance and then forced a smile. "This is my son's wife."
"Marquis of An Yong's wife?" Weichi Che's eyes slightly narrowed showing a smile that was more mocking than friendly.
It seemed that his speculation about the Marquis of An Yong's wife's resemblance to his sister wasn't wrong. The two shared about five or six similarities.
"Lady Luo, do you have any sisters?" Weichi Che asked in a casual tone as if making casual conversation.
But this question left everyone stunned.
What did Weichi Che mean by this?
Did he intend to insult them implying that he was interested in the Marquis of An Yong's wife's appearance but due to the age difference, he was inquiring about a similar sister?
The intense sense of humiliation made Marquis of Anyong tremble all over and Lady Luo's eyes turned red from fear.
"Hmm?" Weichi Che raised an eyebrow and a hint of menace in his tone caused everyone to forget their embarrassment.
"My elder sister is the only daughter of Minister Liu, with an older brother and a younger brother. She has no other sister." the second wife replied weakly. "May I ask General Weichi Che why you made such an inquiry?"
"I have an old friend who has been separated for many years and bears a resemblance to Marquis of An Yong's wife. I asked casually." Weichi Che replied coldly casting a disdainful glance at the one who answered.
Quite audacious to use himself as bait.
It seemed that today he needed to see some blood.
"General Weichi Che, please come inside quickly. Since the gift is of no use, you should stay at our residence." Lady Luo quickly concluded this topic that aroused many thoughts.
"Then I shall impose on you." Weichi Che agreed without any courtesy.
When the servants set the table with food and they all sat down, Weichi Che looked around at the younger generation lightly tapping the table with his fingers. This simple action, however instantly brought everyone's attention back and they turned to look at him.
"Do you know where County Princess Fuhuan is?"
"My granddaughter caught a slight chill yesterday and didn't come to the main hall today."
"I came to apologize on her behalf. How can she not come?" Weichi Che's tone suddenly turned stern. "She really has a big temper. Is she still sulking with me?"
"No, no!" Lady Luo trembled in fear and quickly turned to her personal maidservant. "Go and call Yan'er!"
