On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness-Chapter 49 - : Ridicule and Mockery

Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Ridicule and Mockery

When she was angry, at most he would just tap her forehead.

After tapping her forehead, he would regret it.

“Ah Yan, your skin is delicate and tender, just a tap and it turns red, as if big brother is bullying you.”

At that time, she would take the opportunity to report to her mother.

Her mother, fully aware of the false accusation, would still scold big brother.

Making big brother carry her on his back to buy her candy.

But now, there is no more mother or big brother to dote on and love her in this world!

Now when she eats candy, it no longer tastes the same as when big brother used to buy it for her.

Big brother was only twenty when he left, at such a perfect age.

He had not yet married, nor seen her grown up.

What made her heart ache even more was that when big brother died, he was covered in wounds, his flesh marred everywhere, each cut fatal.

Although it was said he fell in battle, the blows came from behind, clearly the work of his own people.

Such a deep hatred, she was determined to avenge!

Sensing the low spirits of the young girl following behind, Li Yuyue slowed his pace. “What’s wrong?”

Leng Yu Yan blinked, “It’s nothing.”

Seeing the glimmer in her eyes again, Li Yuyue felt somewhat at a loss. “Although I’m often on the frontier, I can still tell that your mood is off right now.”

Leng Yu Yan confessed, “I’m sorry, Brother Lai, every time I see you, I’m reminded of my own big brother.”

“Are you talking about Leng Yi?”

“Mm,” Leng Yu Yan sniffled softly.

“I’ve met Leng Yi a few times, he even corrected my boxing stance once, and in the blink of an eye, five years have passed…” Seeing her mood getting increasingly troubled, Li Yuyue gently patted her shoulder, “If you miss him, you can just call me big brother.”

Leng Yu Yan felt an immense guilt, having resolved to avenge big brother, yet even now she hadn’t found the enemies.

“Brother Lai, what did you want to talk about?” Leng Yu Yan adjusted her emotions.

In her heart, there was only one big brother, and no one else could ever replace him.

In fact, she didn’t even know why, but she felt a shared sentiment with the original owner of this body.

It was as though the original owner was her!

Li Yuyue said slowly, “Actually, it’s nothing important, just my mother’s birthday is coming, and I’d like to choose a gift to send her. In the capital city, I can’t find another girl to help, so I thought of you.”

“I’m not skilled in choosing gifts, but Brother Lai’s filial piety is commendable, when you pick a gift, I can offer some suggestions,” Yu Yan offered.

“That would be very good!”

Elsewhere, Ye Yiheng, at the invitation of the Mountain Master, took the main seat on the stage, while Prince Liang and several princes, along with Young Master Jian Lecheng, were seated on both sides.

Several princes simultaneously noticed the Heir of Prince Zhenbei Mansion and the unsightly daughter of the Leng Family standing in a corner of the drill field, chatting happily, which stirred them to tease Ye Yiheng.

Prince Liang was the first to speak. “Does our Sixth Brother know that his fiancée and the Heir Lai are too close?”

The Seventh Prince, rare in agreement with Prince Liang, said with a smile, “Sixth Brother is out of sight, out of mind.”

The Fifth Prince chimed in, “This Prince and Seventh Brother share a hero’s perspective!”

At this, everyone laughed.

Jian Lecheng was irritated, but with his lower status, what else could he do but be upset?

Ye Yiheng merely smiled faintly. “You all worry too much, the Crown Princess Consort and Heir Lai are simply engaging in fraternal affection.”

Prince Liang snorted from his nose with a laugh, “Could it be that Sixth Brother isn’t aware that although the Leng Family of the Prince Zhenbei Mansion and the Leng Family of Marquis Ningyuan’s Mansion are of the same lineage, Miss Lai Wu and the Heir Lai are already separated by five degrees of mourning attire?”

The Fifth Prince pointed at Fan Minmin next to Ye Yiheng, “If you ask me, Sixth Brother has a beauty by his side, and the Crown Princess Consort has the Princely Heir by hers, it’s quite the perfect match.”

Seeing this, the Mountain Master tried to smooth things over, “Today’s calligraphy conference, please may all the Highnesses judge impartially!”

Several people agreed.

Soon after, the calligraphy conference officially began.

Below the stage, four large tables were set up, where students from each class could go up to write. Those who wrote well were allowed to continue onto the stage.

This was considered making it to the finals.

Seeing that the conference had begun, Li Yuyue walked over leisurely with Leng Yu Yan, their happy and cheerful appearance causing Ye Yiheng to narrow his phoenix eyes beneath his eye veil.

Just then, thunderous applause erupted from next to a Class A table.

The students present surged over, only to see Lai Manting wielding a brush, splashing ink on the Imperial Decree.

The cheers were nonstop.

A smile danced on Lai Manting’s lips, her recent practice had finally reached a certain level – her vertical hook strokes were now somewhat similar.

With this, she was sure to win today’s competition!

Moreover, with Prince Liang present, she was determined to seize this opportunity!

After thirty minutes, ten students who volunteered enthusiastically were selected to go on stage for the final showdown.

Prince Liang intended to embarrass Leng Yu Yan, as to embarrass her was to discomfort Ye Yiheng.

So, he spoke out loud, “In my view, many students have participated, but why haven’t we seen the Crown Princess Consort join in?”

The Fifth Prince chimed in with a smile, “The Crown Princess Consort was recently graced with rewards from Father Emperor and the various Princesses. Today’s tuition fee from Sixth Brother, she might find it beneath her.”

The Seventh Prince clapped his hands, “Sixth Brother of the Crown Prince has offered one thousand taels for the tuition fee. Perhaps the rest of us should also chip in?”

Upon saying this, several people nodded in agreement.

The Seventh Prince spoke again, “It is said the Crown Princess Consort comes from a remote village, and her handwriting is extremely unsophisticated. I wonder if we could have the pleasure of seeing it today, it would be quite eye-opening for everyone.”

Seeing her cousin being mocked by the Princes, Fan Minmin’s little face turned bright red with anger, “Your Highnesses, please show some restraint! It’s true that the Crown Princess Consort, my sister-in-law, is from a remote village and she has difficulties even with reading and writing, aren’t you just bullying her?”

Upon hearing this, the Princes all laughed together.

Look, even the Crown Prince’s cousin admits that the Leng Family’s ugly girl has difficulties with reading and writing.

The Seventh Prince was the first to stand, walking over to the tray holding the one thousand taels for tuition fees, he took off his jade thumb ring and threw it into the pile.

“If any of the students here can convince the Crown Princess Consort to come on stage for the competition, the winner of today’s calligraphy competition will receive this Prince’s thumb ring as well!”

Prince Liang also stood up, removing the Jade Pendant from his waist and placing it on the tray, “As long as the Crown Princess Consort participates, the final winner will also receive this Prince’s Jade Pendant.”

The Fifth Prince stepped forward with a cheerful smile, digging out a stack of silver notes from his waist, counting out a few, “I only have these five hundred taels, the rest of the money is tightly controlled by the Princess.”

This remark made all the students below the stage burst into laughter.

At the same time, the female students surrounded Leng Yu Yan.

“Leng Yu Yan, you should join!”

“That’s right, even if you can’t win, as long as you participate, the final winner will get a lot more rewards! Think of it as doing a good deed!”

“Yes, Leng Yu Yan, you should help the eventual winner!”

“My sister doesn’t want to join, you all either want to see my sister embarrass herself or you want the final winner to receive more rewards,” Lai Jiajia couldn’t suppress her anger, “What good does it do my sister?”

Lai Jiajia was so agitated that her chest heaved violently, everyone on and off the stage, they were all too much.

Picking on her sister’s weaknesses!

Leng Yu Yan patted Lai Jiajia’s arm, signaling her not to get angry.
