Transmigrated to become a maid in the household of the Fourth Prince Hongli, Su Yushan trembled. She realized that when Hongli later ascended the throne as Emperor, she was highly likely to become ...
Since the fifth brother was not an outsider, Hongli did not hide anything and gave a brief overview of the recent events.
Upon hearing this, Hongzhou was deeply puzzled. "The maids in the manor are all your women. You are free to sleep with whichever one you want. Why is my sister-in-law so nosy?"
The story is long, but to put it simply, Hongli said, "You don't know, Jin Minjing has tried to harm her several times. They have a grudge against each other, which is why Yushan doesn't want me to be close to Jin Minjing."
"But you were tricked, not someone who took the initiative to get close to you. If you hold a grudge for this, wouldn't that be unreasonable?"
Hongli didn't like hearing that. His woman was not for others to advise. "I asked you to help me find a way to coax her, not to scold her."
Did he criticize him? It was just a casual complaint! Did Fourth Brother have to be so harsh on him?
"As your good brother, I have to remind you, you can't be too nice to a woman, otherwise she'll take advantage of you and push her luck. You have to learn to ignore her so she can realize how lonely and boring life is without you."
"..." Ignoring Su Yushan? She wouldn't feel uncomfortable at all; she would just feel at ease, or perhaps she would think he didn't care about her and become even more disappointed in him.
"You're always coming up with bad ideas. If you can't speak properly, then speak less."
Full of confidence, Hong Zhou patted his chest and assured them, "This idea of mine came from numerous trials with women, and it has never failed!"
"Yu Shan is no ordinary woman."
"..." Hongzhou was speechless, his teeth aching so badly that he could only conclude with one sentence: "Fourth Brother, you're hopeless."
With a slight raise of his eyebrows, Hongli teased, "If you can't come up with a good idea, don't boast. You call yourself a master of love, yet you can't even handle an angry woman."
When questioned, Hongzhou retorted, "She's not my woman, and I don't understand her temperament, so it's hard to find the right approach. I'm just figuring it out slowly!"
After racking his brains for a long time, Hongzhou suddenly had a flash of inspiration. "Ah... I've got it! I'll pretend to be sick!"
Seeing that his elder brother frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with his idea, Hongzhou quickly explained, "You should know that most women are tough on the outside but soft on the inside. As long as you pretend to be sick and weak, she will definitely feel sorry for you when she comes to visit you. Once she feels sorry for you, she will no longer hold a grudge against you."
Su Yushan is currently sulking with him and may not be willing to come and check on him. "What if she doesn't come?"
This was the first time Hongzhou had ever seen his elder brother so cautious and prudent. He couldn't help but wonder if the man in front of him, who was troubled by love and constantly thinking about women, was still his cold and decisive fourth brother.
"Fourth Brother! Have you forgotten that you are her man, the master of the mansion, and a prince of the current dynasty? Don't put on such a humble posture. Speak more firmly and use the same commanding manner you use when you scold me. Order her to attend to you as a prince. How dare she disobey your orders?"
