Chapter 251 As expected of a chosen scumbag woman
Zhai Rongyu pulled the person to a dimly lit corner inside the artificial hill.
"Sister Wei, just stay here. There's no wind here."
Wei Wenshu tugged at her sleeve, unconsciously tightening her grip, "This...this place is sheltered from the wind, but it's also dark..."
She looked around nervously.
Zhai Rongyu suppressed a laugh.
"What are you afraid of, Sister Wei? It's broad daylight, and besides, today is my elder brother's wedding. The mansion is very lively."
"There's no way there could be a ghost..."
She leaned close to Wei Wenshu's ear and whispered.
"Although some ghosts love to cause trouble at happy occasions and hide in the shadows to possess those who are infatuated, Sister Wei, don't worry. My brother is a general, and they would never dare to come."
"Besides, Sister Wei is of noble character and doesn't seem like the kind of woman who would try to seduce people."
"Even if they were to choose, they wouldn't choose you."
Wei Wenshu felt a chill creep up her neck and down to the top of her head. She panicked and pulled away, looking at Zhai Rongyu, only to see her smiling gently and harmlessly.
The young ladies of the Zhai family are all so creepy...
Zhai Rongyu said, "Sister Wei, don't be afraid. For example, there are echoes in this cave. If you talk more, you won't feel so lonely and scared."
"An echo?" Wei Wenshu was stunned.
"Mm." Zhai Rongyu nodded, quietly lit a talisman, and roared twice into the artificial hill. A sinister echo drifted into Wei Wenshu's ears, like the whisper of a wild ghost, like weeping and lamenting.
Wei Wenshu's lips trembled, and she became even more frightened.
She looked at Zhai Rongyu and saw her standing in the dim light, looking up at her with her head slightly lowered and her smile extremely slowly.
She resembles a female ghost.
Wei Wenshu's legs went weak.
I can't stay in this Zhai residence for another second longer...
"My...my parents are looking for me, I have to go back now!"
After saying that, she lifted her skirt and rushed out of the artificial hill without looking back, running away from the garden. She didn't even care that her hair was disheveled, which was completely different from her calm and noble appearance like a snow lotus from the Tianshan Mountains just now.
It looked like there was a ghost chasing them.
Zhai Jiqing and Zhai Muling watched Wei Wenshu's retreating figure with a puzzled expression.
What did the younger sister (Rong'er) say to her?
That scared people so much.
……
Wei Wenshu found the Duke of Wei, still panting and shaken.
"Father, Mother, this Zhai residence is terrifying. Let's hurry back!"
"Go back what?!" Duke Wei was still furious.
"Has Zhai Jiqing been captured?"
Wei Wenshu felt as if she had been doused with cold water. Her heart gradually calmed down, and a sense of defeat, like dampness returning to the surface, slowly crept up on her.
She bit her lip and said, "My daughter is useless. Zhai Jiqing doesn't care about her at all."
The Duke of Wei's face suddenly darkened.
The Duchess was somewhat incredulous. "How could this be? We made so many preparations, and besides, with your beauty, Shu'er..."
"Enough!" Duke Wei said coldly. "Men of the Zhai family are good at pretending. Nothing is settled yet."
"You should look for another opportunity."
"I simply don't believe that Zhai Jiqing can be like that monk, abstaining from women!"

As night fell, the celebratory banquet at the Zhai residence began.
The stars quietly adorned the night sky, while the Zhai mansion was brightly lit, bustling with people and clinking glasses.
Wei Wenshu sat beside Zhai Jiqing, holding up her wine glass, her face flushed with shyness. "Second Young Master Zhai, I'd like to offer you a toast."
Zhai Jiqing raised his glass and drank without changing his expression.
Today is my elder brother's wedding banquet, so we still need to do the proper formalities.
Wei Wenshu praised, "Young Master Zhai has a good capacity for alcohol."
She lowered her eyes and sneered.
Men are used to listening to flattery.
Once she's made Zhai Jiqing feel smug, he'll eventually become her devoted follower.
After saying that, he poured Zhai Jiqing another cup of wine.
"What does Young Master Zhai usually like to do?"
Zhai Rongyu sat opposite them, looking like she was watching the drama unfold with great interest. Zhai Muling smiled and shook her head, handing her a pigeon leg.
Zhai Rong kept glancing at them as she ate.
[Here comes the method for cultivating a simp.]
[The first tactic is to find out your second brother's preferences, then shower him with praise and compliments to inflate his ego and satisfy his male pride.]
Zhai Jiqing: ...What a vicious woman.
A man's self-esteem?
ridiculous.
He sneered as he poked his chopsticks into a piece of green tea cake.
"I like embroidery."
"Pfft—cough cough cough..." Zhai Rongyu almost choked to death on the pigeon meat in her mouth.
Zhai Muling's chopsticks also fell onto the table with a clatter.
Wei Wenshu almost dropped her wine glass.
"Embroidery?!"
"What? No way?" Zhai Jiqing said coldly.
A man can bend and stretch.
Self-esteem is nothing compared to life.
He can live without this.
Wei Wenshu raised her handkerchief and wiped her sweat.
Small things, don't panic.
"Hehe... I'm just surprised that Young Master Zhai has such a unique hobby."
"He is indeed different from ordinary men."
"I suppose that since Young Master Zhai has this hobby, he must be a very meticulous person. He will definitely be very considerate to his wife in the future."
"Shu'er also likes embroidery. How about we have a friendly competition sometime when we have some free time?"
Zhai Rongyu was shocked.
[This Wei Wenshu is really something.]
[How can you even praise her like this! No wonder she's the chosen scumbag.]
[The second step in the "How to Become a Simp": Use shared interests to build rapport and win favor!]
Tremble, you simp!
Zhai Jiqing clenched his fist and placed it on the table, where it trembled slightly.
This woman is indeed not easy to deal with.
He said coldly, "I don't like to spar with others."
Wei Wenshu smiled and said, "A gentleman does not contend over trivial matters. Young Master Zhai is indeed a true gentleman."
Zhai Jiqing: "I don't have any plans to get married for the time being."
Wei Wenshu: "A real man should establish his career first and then start a family. The fact that Young Master Zhai has this idea shows that he is a responsible and good man, which is truly rare."
Zhai Jiqing: ...
Zhai Rongyu: 9, because 6 was flipped.
She was speechless and exclaimed that she had failed to learn it.
Zhai Jiqing glared at Wei Wenshu, inwardly roaring: What exactly do you see in me? I'll change, okay?!
Wei Wenshu seemed to know what he was thinking. Instead of being angry, she covered her face with her handkerchief and smiled shyly, saying, "All the men I have ever met in my life are arrogant and conceited, with their sharp edges that they do not hide."
"But the Second Young Master Zhai was humble and self-restrained, even deliberately belittling himself."
"Such a good man, I wonder who is so fortunate."
A blush rose to her cheeks, and she gazed at Zhai Jiqing with sparkling eyes.
Zhai Rong stared blankly, losing her appetite.
[Good heavens!]
Sister Wei, you're truly a free spirit!
[That's amazing!]
The most irresistible thing in the world is that noble people become stained with mud for you.
Wei Wenshu usually maintains a cold and aloof demeanor, but she shows such tenderness and affection only towards her second brother. Coupled with her family background and education, which talented scholar wouldn't be captivated?
[Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.]
Zhai Jiqing took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to flip the table.
...It's tricky.
It was indeed very tricky.
He has to resort to some drastic measures!
