Chapter 148 No One Asked Her
Yet, her opinion was never sought.
Whether it was the initial marriage proposal or the later decision to let her go to get married, no one took her true inner thoughts into consideration.
Fang paused, then continued, "In fact, all this is because the Queen Mother loves you too much. She doesn't want to easily marry you to a weak and sick man, so she resolutely rejected the emperor's proposal. Although this is purely out of deep concern and love for you, men as outstanding as Zhan Shixuan are indeed rare. If you miss this great opportunity, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to have such a good match in the future."
Fang's words were like a sharp sword, piercing the softest part of Wanyin's heart, making her upset and restless. She was usually gentle and graceful, but at this moment she showed the majesty of a princess, and said to Fang sternly: "Enough! Don't mention this again!" Fang knew Wanyin's temperament very well. Seeing that she was angry, she tactfully closed her mouth and silently picked up food for Wanyin.
However, Wanyin's annoyance did not dissipate. Her eyes drifted to the distance from time to time, landing on Zhan Shixuan and Lu Yi. Seeing their close relationship, Wanyin felt as if her heart was broken. Zhan Shixuan only had Lu Yi in his eyes, as if everyone else around him was just a foil. This scene deeply hurt Wanyin's heart.
In fact, Wanyin also wanted to have a husband who loved her so much. She couldn't help but feel sad. If she had been the one who went to the Zhan family to get married, then the woman accompanying Zhan Shixuan now must be her, Wanyin... Thinking of this, Wanyin's heart became heavier and her eyes gradually became moist.
As before, no matter what happened, she could only rely on herself to solve problems and face difficulties; because she knew very well that apart from her aunt, no one else in the world would truly consider and plan for her.
As for why the Queen Mother was determined not to let her marry Zhan Shixuan, she was puzzled but knew it well - it was definitely not out of love and care for her. If we really want to talk about doting and protecting her, the Queen Mother obviously prefers Lu Yi a little more; however, what is puzzling is that in the end, Lu Yi became Zhan Shixuan's wife.
Wanyin squeezed her fingers tightly, and she understood clearly: So that's it! The reason why the Queen Mother did not allow the Emperor to give her to Zhan Shixuan as his wife was to help Lu Yi and Zhan Shixuan get married! This must be the case! Thinking of this, a feeling of sadness came over her...
Wanyin's heart was burning with anger and hatred! Because Zhan Shixuan was supposed to be her husband, but fate ruthlessly separated them. She secretly vowed to take back all the happiness that should have belonged to her no matter what.
Therefore, Wanyin began to change herself with all her strength. She spent a lot of time every day dressing up carefully, learning various skills such as music, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing, dancing and cooking, just to be able to exude charming charm and successfully attract Zhan Shixuan's attention.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. Despite Wanyin's best efforts, Zhan Shixuan only had Lu Yi in his eyes and completely ignored all her efforts.
However, this did not discourage Wanyin, but aroused her stronger fighting spirit. She firmly believed that as long as she persisted, Zhan Shixuan would be able to discover her beauty one day.
Finally, at a grand banquet, Wanyin seized the opportunity and pretended to accidentally fall in front of Zhan Shixuan. As expected, this move successfully attracted Zhan Shixuan's attention. He quickly walked forward and gently helped Wanyin up. At the moment when their eyes met, Wanyin couldn't help but feel an indescribable excitement in her heart.
But who would have thought that Zhan Shixuan just whispered, "Be careful." Then, he turned around and left resolutely, leaving Wanyin standing there alone.
Seeing Zhan Shixuan walking away, Wanyin was filled with endless disappointment and resentment. She stared at the direction where he was going, as if she wanted to deeply imprint this pain in her heart...
