The Sickly Regent Prince Who Was Abandoned as a Substitute Bride

Chapter 180 The Crybaby is Ye 9 Chen!

"Crybaby, Ye Jiuchen... This is truly a cruel twist of fate!" Dongfang Wan'er sighed, a hint of helplessness on her face.

Just then, Ye Jiuchen took the opportunity to pull up Dongfang Wan'er's small hand and held it tightly in his.

"Wan'er!" He called her name softly, his eyes full of tenderness.

"I'm curious, how did you mistake me for someone else?" Ye Jiuchen asked, his tone tinged with curiosity.

"I asked Ye Jingchu about it back then, and he actually knew about it, and he described it in great detail! How did he know? Thinking about it now, it must be because he saw us together before, which is why he could describe the details so clearly. But he took advantage of my trust and deceived me..."

The more Dongfang Wan'er thought about it, the more wronged she felt, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

Ye Jiuchen looked at Dongfang Wan'er with heartache and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

“Wan’er, it’s not too late now…” he comforted her, his voice filled with determination.

Dongfang Wan'er raised her head and looked into Ye Jiuchen's affectionate eyes, a warm feeling welling up in her heart. This time, she did not avoid Ye Jiuchen's gaze, but bravely held his hand in return.

Ye Jiuchen felt Dongfang Wan'er's response and his heart was filled with joy. Their fingers were tightly intertwined, as if they were telling each other their heartfelt feelings.

However, at that moment, Qiuqin and Anye's voices came from outside the carriage:

"Master! We've arrived!" "Miss, we've arrived!"

Upon hearing the sound, Dongfang Wan'er quickly pulled her hand away from Ye Jiuchen's, a blush spreading across her face.

"Ye Jiuchen, see you another day, I'm leaving now!" After saying that, she hurriedly jumped off the carriage and left in a hurry.

Ye Jiuchen watched Dongfang Wan'er's departing figure, a slight smile playing on his lips, his heart filled with anticipation.

Dongfang Wan'er jumped out of the carriage as if her bottom was on fire!

Throughout the journey, she was in an exceptionally cheerful mood, as if she were enveloped in happiness. A slight smile played on her lips, her face beaming with a radiant joy, and she even unconsciously hummed a cheerful little tune!

"Miss, you and your husband have made up?"

Seeing her young mistress so happy, Qiuqin finally couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"What do you mean by making up? We didn't even argue, and there's nothing awkward between us, you little brat!"

Upon hearing Qiuqin's words, Dongfang Wan'er immediately tapped her forehead lightly with her finger.

"Ouch, miss, that hurts!"

Qiuqin covered her head and looked at Dongfang Wan'er pitifully.

"So you do feel pain, huh? Let's see if you dare to talk nonsense again!"

The two, mistress and servant, laughed and joked as they walked towards the mansion. Upon entering, Dongfang Wan'er went straight to her room.

She sat in front of her dressing table, smiling at herself in the mirror, reminiscing about the moments she shared with Ye Jiuchen. Suddenly, she noticed the blush on her cheeks and blushed with embarrassment.

"Oh dear, why am I so shy!" she murmured softly.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. "Come in," Dongfang Wan'er said, composing herself.

The door opened, and Qiuqin walked in carrying a plate of delicate pastries. "Miss, these are freshly made pastries from the kitchen, please have a taste."

Dongfang Wan'er picked up a pastry and put it in her mouth. The delicate texture made her smile with satisfaction.

"Mmm, it's delicious." Dongfang Wan'er ate the snacks with satisfaction, a happy smile on her face.

She was so engrossed in the pleasure of the food that she seemed to forget everything around her.

However, just then, a maid rushed in, breaking the tranquility.

"Young Miss, His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived and wishes to see you..." the maidservant reported cautiously, afraid of disturbing Dongfang Wan'er. But upon hearing this news, Dongfang Wan'er's face instantly darkened, and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes.

"I won't see you!" she answered without hesitation, her tone firm and resolute.

Ever since I found out that Ye Jingchu had lied to me about something that happened when I was a child!

It turns out that he wasn't the crybaby who had once been there for her, bringing her warmth and comfort.

“But…” The maid seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted by Dongfang Wan’er before she could speak.

"But what 'but'? You're Miss's person, or someone else's person!" Qiuqin glared at the maid, her tone stern. She knew perfectly well how Dongfang Wan'er felt at this moment and would never easily forgive Ye Jingchu.

"Chunzhi, Chunzhi!" Qiuqin called out to the door.

"Sister Qiuqin, what's wrong!" Chunzhi rushed over when she heard the call, looking anxious.

"Take this girl away and discipline her properly," Qiuqin said, pointing at the maid. Chunzhi immediately understood Qiuqin's meaning, nodded in acknowledgment, and then left the room with the maid.

She is currently suffering from a deadly poison and can only survive by relying on the antidote provided by Dongfang Wan'er!

"Send this girl away. I suspect she was sent by someone else!" Qiuqin said directly, expressing her opinion.

"Yes, Sister Qiuqin, leave everything to me!" Chunzhi walked over and grabbed the maid's hair!

"Ah... Sister Qiuqin, Sister Chunzhi, this servant knows her mistake, Miss, please forgive this servant!" the maid cried out, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to Dongfang Wan'er!

Dongfang Wan'er remained silent, only coldly staring at the maid, her eyes revealing a hint of authority and indifference.

Chunzhi glanced at Dongfang Wan'er, and after receiving her hint, she forcefully pulled up the girl's hair, forcing her to stand up.

Chunzhi quickly dragged the maid out. Qiuqin said angrily, "Miss, I never expected that His Highness the Crown Prince would actually extend his reach into our courtyard!"

She was furious about this behavior.

However, Dongfang Wan'er shook her head and said calmly, "Qiuqin, this is normal. Every time we get rid of someone, a new person will always be brought in. This situation is difficult to prevent."

Just then, Wen Nuan and Lu Wan Ning arrived together. Wen Nuan called out, "Sister Wan'er, Sister Wan'er!"

Lu Wanning looked at Dongfang Wan'er with a worried expression. Perhaps others didn't know, but Lu Wanning knew that Dongfang Wan'er hadn't returned all night.

Lu Wanning wanted to ask, but considering that her daughter was independent and had her own ideas, she stopped talking.

Wen Nuan asked curiously, "Aunt Ning, what did you want to ask Wan'er? Why did you suddenly stop asking?"

When Wen Nuan encountered Lu Wan Ning on the road, she saw her anxious appearance. But now that she's here, she no longer asks any questions.

Dongfang Wan'er smiled and replied, "Mother, I'm fine. I know what you want to ask. I went to see Ye Jiuchen last night because he had some health problems." She explained why she hadn't returned home all night.

Dongfang Wan'er knew what her mother wanted to ask, so she simply told her, "Mother, ask whatever you want!"

Lu Wanning carefully observed Dongfang Wan'er and noticed that her face was rather pale, which made her worried. "Wan'er, you don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?"

Dongfang Wan'er felt that her complexion had returned to normal, but she did not expect that her mother would still notice the abnormality.

She gently touched her cheek and said with a smile, "Mother, I'm fine. I just got up a little early this morning, and I've been quite busy and tired these past few days."

"Wan'er, if you're tired, be sure to get some rest." Lu Wanning looked at her daughter with heartache, her tone full of concern.

Dongfang Wan'er nodded obediently and comforted her, "Mother, don't worry, I understand. But don't worry too much about me, I'll be fine after a good night's sleep. By the way, why did you come to see me today?"

Wen Nuan suddenly interjected, "Wan'er, Aunt Ning and I came here today, partly to see you, and partly to discuss your coming-of-age ceremony. Do you have any special ideas? Or any special requests? As long as it's something you ask for, I'll do my best to fulfill it..."

Dongfang Wan'er gently shook her head and replied softly, "Sister Nuan, Wan'er really doesn't have any special requests."

Lu Wanning gently held Wen Nuan's hand, her eyes filled with gratitude, and said softly, "Wen Nuan, thank you for your hard work. If there's anything we can help you with, please let us know."

Wen Nuan smiled slightly, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes, and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Aunt Ning. I definitely will."

Then, they chatted about everyday things, sharing snippets of their lives, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
