Asking her to admit her mistake and bow her head to Thirteen, He Yue knew she couldn't do it.

She has her own pride and her own principles. There are some things she cannot tolerate and she will never compromise.

Feeling unhappy, even though she was facing the future emperor, Heyue couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "How could I be dissatisfied? He's the one who's taking advantage of me and always bullying me."

The Fourth Prince pressed his fist to his lips and coughed lightly, concealing the smile in his eyes: "My thirteenth brother dotes on you, how could he bully you? I think it's more like you're the one bullying him. When has he ever been so accommodating to you?"

He Yue blushed, making it sound like she was some kind of domineering and unreasonable person.

"He bullied me the night before last!" Heyue snorted softly, her voice barely audible.

I thought he wouldn't hear, but to my surprise, the Fourth Prince did hear. He raised an eyebrow in surprise: "How did he bully you? If that's really the case, I will talk to him myself."

He Yue immediately wished she could bite off her own tongue, and quickly laughed it off, saying, "It's nothing, it's nothing."

The Fourth Prince didn't believe her and looked at her suspiciously. Seeing her avoidance of eye contact, he pondered for a while, then seemed to remember something and frowned: "I heard the Thirteenth Prince say that you don't allow him to touch you?"

At this moment, He Yue wished she could skin Thirteen alive and tear him apart. That bastard really dared to say anything!

He deserved to be ridiculed.

Seeing her gritted teeth, the Fourth Prince seemed to understand. His face darkened, and he sternly reprimanded her: "Do you know what you're doing? I've told you before that some things shouldn't be taken to heart, but why are you still so stubborn? You are Thirteenth Prince's wife, what is there that you can't talk about? Just because of that concubine? Which prince isn't like that? What do you have to care about? As a prince, offspring are a major matter. As the primary wife, you have an even greater responsibility to give Thirteenth Prince a legitimate son. If you continue like this, I don't mind advising him to favor the woman he loves."

Seeing her somewhat embarrassed and aggrieved expression, the Fourth Prince realized that it was inappropriate for a grown man like him to advise her on such a matter, and he felt a little embarrassed for a moment as well.

Since it involved the thirteenth brother, after thinking for a moment, I decided to try to persuade her.

His expression softened, and he placed his hand on her shoulder, his tone gradually becoming gentle: "Moreover, after what happened yesterday, there are already many rumors circulating outside that are detrimental to the thirteenth brother, and Father is also dissatisfied. This is all because of you. If this continues, the thirteenth brother will only fall into an increasingly passive situation. He is still young and should not be misled by women. Do you understand what your fourth brother is saying?"

He Yue thought, how could she not understand? But what did all this have to do with her?

Besides, how is it that she was misled by a woman? She's not Daji (a legendary femme fatale), she's the one who's wronged.

Should I, like women of this era, cater to my husband's preferences and let him do whatever he wants?

Heyue is not a tool for them to vent their desires, nor is she a tool to bear children for them. She has her own life to live, so why should she live according to their male ideas?

The more I thought about it, the more resentful and angry I became. I just wanted to stop caring about anything, to run away and not care who was good or bad!

Anyway, her sister has been found, so nothing else matters to her.

At worst, we'll just be wiped out!

Knowing that the Fourth Prince always valued rules and was a chauvinist, he probably couldn't understand her thoughts. Despite feeling indignant and resentful, she was too lazy to argue with him.

With a loud "bang!"

Heyue and the Fourth Prince were both startled by the sudden sound. They looked towards the door and saw Thirteen standing there, staring blankly at them.

Liu Fu, pale-faced, cautiously called out "Master!" to the Fourth Prince behind him. He glanced at the Thirteenth Prince, then at the Fourth Prince, his heart pounding with fear.

He Yue snorted coldly. They were just talking about him a moment ago. It's true what they say, speak of the devil and he appears. He Yue's already annoyed mood worsened the moment she saw him.

Why is he standing there in a daze? Why do his eyes seem to be spitting fire?

He Yue was confused. The Fourth Prince frowned and was about to ask, "Why are you here?" and then scold him for still being so reckless. But the next moment he noticed that the Fourth Prince's gaze was on his hand that was on He Yue's shoulder.

He calmly withdrew his hand, placing it behind his back, his face expressionless.

He Yue didn't notice this change; she was angry at the moment and turned her head away, ignoring him.

Thirteen strode over, his face dark, and pulled her up from the chair, pulling her into his arms.

He Yue was confused and annoyed. "Hey, hey, hey, why are you getting handsy?"

However, Thirteen ignored her displeased expression and tightened his grip on her waist.

He Yue winced in pain and pinched his hand hard: "What are you doing?"

Thirteen frowned, glanced down at her, then looked up at Fourth Prince with a smile: "Fourth Brother, I'll take Heyue back first."

The Fourth Prince found his reaction strange. Thinking back to the scene just now, he had a vague idea of ​​what was going on and found it somewhat amusing, so he nodded without saying a word.

Thirteen picked up He Yue and carried her out of the study quickly.

He Yue was surprised and pushed him away repeatedly: "What are you doing? Let go of me!"

However, Thirteen, who is usually good-tempered, was tense at this moment, his face showing suppressed anger, and he showed no intention of letting her go.

Along the way, He Yue felt utterly humiliated.

What's wrong with him?!

Once in the carriage, Thirteen still wouldn't let go of Heyue. He placed her on his lap, pinched her chin, glared at her, and coldly snorted, "Why are you so close to Fourth Brother?"

Surprised by his domineering and rude behavior, and disgusted by his grip on her chin, He Yue slapped his hand away and pushed him away, saying, "Get away from me!"
