Chapter 52 Humiliation

"Meow……"

A cat's meow came from behind her. Ye Wanning patted her chest with lingering fear. She sighed. It seemed she really was scared by the last time. Was it true that once bitten, twice shy? Ye Wanning smiled self-deprecatingly.

She turned around, intending to leave, but unexpectedly bumped into a solid chest.

"ah!"

"Your Majesty, be careful."

Upon hearing the voice, Ye Wanning's heart skipped a beat. This was... Su Wenliang? She smelled the strong smell of alcohol on him and suddenly felt uneasy. She struggled to get out of Su Wenliang's embrace, but unexpectedly, he held her tightly.

"Su Wenliang, let go!" Ye Wanning lowered her voice, but it was full of anger. What would happen if others saw this!

Su Wenliang chuckled, his voice slightly tinged with drunkenness, and said, "Your body is just as supple as I imagined!"

Hearing Su Wenliang's unvarnished words, Ye Wanning was furious. She stopped struggling and looked up at the person in front of her fiercely, "Will you let go or not?"

The more Ye Wanning acted this way, the more Su Wenliang liked her. He looked down at Ye Wanning tenderly, his eyes full of smiles, "What if I say I won't let go?"

"You won't let go?" Ye Wanning raised an eyebrow, her smile somewhat eerie. She suddenly raised her knee. "Then I'll have to offend you!"

"ah!"

A scream rang out as Su Wenliang released his grip, clutching his crotch and wailing, "Sister-in-law...you..."

"Ha!" Ye Wanning crossed her arms, stared at Su Wenliang, and sneered twice: "Who gave you the nerve to flirt with me like that!"

Su Wenliang's face turned slightly purple. He groaned twice and looked at Ye Wanning with some embarrassment, without saying a word.

"What a barbarian! He doesn't know his place! I'm your sister-in-law!" Ye Wanning glared at him, angrily waving her hand. "Don't let this happen again, or I'll..."

"Tell Second Brother?" Su Wenliang snorted twice, his eyes full of contempt. He slowly straightened up, paused for a moment, and said slowly, "Sister-in-law, don't forget, Second Brother is just a fool!"

Ye Wanning's face paled slightly at Su Wenliang's words. She bit her lip and said, "So what! He's your own brother!"

"My own brother? Hahaha!" Su Wenliang shook his head with a laugh. "My sister-in-law looks so clever, but I never expected her to be so foolish!"

He stepped forward, lifted Ye Wanning's chin, and looked directly into her eyes. "Do you really think there's any affection between us princes?"

Ye Wanning frowned, trying to break free, but her chin was pinched painfully. She rolled her eyes, and was about to kick him again, but he pressed down on her knee first.

Su Wenliang looked at Ye Wanning with a hint of provocation, "Is my sister-in-law planning to pull this tactic again?"

Ye Wanning bit her lip and glanced to the side, refusing to look at him.

Su Wenliang wasn't too angry about Ye Wanning's reaction. He smiled and said softly, "Didn't Wanning just say that she was very interested in the culture of the Qiang Kingdom?"

He leaned close to Ye Wanning's ear and whispered, "Why don't you come with me now? My second brother is a fool after all; he can't take care of you, so you'll have to take care of him instead."

Hearing this, Ye Wanning clenched her fists tightly. She gritted her teeth. Did they really think she was easy to bully? She turned her head and glared fiercely at Su Wenliang. "Do you know what you're saying?!"

"How could I not know?" Su Wenliang grinned. "Wan Ning, how about marrying me?"

"I'll marry your grandpa!" Ye Wanning angrily raised her foot and stomped down hard.

"ah!"

Ye Wanning looked at Su Wenliang, who was holding his foot and groaning, with a hint of schadenfreude. "Serves you right for saying such vulgar things!"

Su Wenliang was so angry with Ye Wanning that he couldn't help but curse, "It's your good fortune that I fell for you! So what if you married an idiot? What's there to be so smug about!"

Ye Wanning gritted her teeth. What an unrepentant fellow! After thinking for a moment, she wasn't angry. Instead, she smiled and said, "Alright, I won't hold it against you. After all, you went to the Qiang Kingdom when you were young." As she spoke, she looked at Su Wenliang with some pity. "It's forgivable for a child without manners to say such immoral things."

"You!" Su Wenliang's face darkened. "What nonsense are you spouting!"

Ye Wanning's lips curled slightly, her eyes flashing with a sharp glint, "It's said that the Third Prince grew up in the Qiang Kingdom, but the reason he was sent there was because of his mother!"

Ye Wanning stared at Su Wenliang, pressing him relentlessly, "The Qiang princess, who is out of touch with reality, actually tried to assassinate the current emperor!" She looked at Su Wenlian, her eyes filled with malice, "Who knew that the assassination attempt would fail and she would be killed, and her own son would be treated as a spy and guarded against, and eventually even sent to the Qiang Kingdom!"

Su Wenliang's face turned pale, as if he had heard some news he desperately didn't want to hear. His body trembled slightly, and he repeated softly, "Don't say it... don't say it..."

"What?" Ye Wanning sneered, "Did I bring up your painful memories? But I haven't finished talking about them yet!"

Ye Wanning took a large stride and directly confronted Su Wenliang. Although she was not as tall as Su Wenliang, she did not lose any of her imposing manner. "Who would have thought that a prince of Chu would be called the son of a traitor in Qiang Kingdom!"

"The princess who was executed for her country ended up being accused of treason!"

Ye Wanning smiled, her eyes revealing an unusual glint. "Do you hate it? Do you hate it? Do you hate it!"

"Stop talking!" Su Wenliang finally roared, shoving Ye Wanning who was standing in front of him. He pointed at her and yelled, "Get out of here!"

Ye Wanning slowly got up from the ground. This guy was really strong. She rubbed her elbows helplessly. She really had brought this on herself! After a long while, she looked at Su Wenliang and smiled contemptuously. "What? Can't take it anymore?"

As she spoke, her expression hardened. "Do you know that Wenzhen has been scolded since he was a child? Not to mention that he is your brother, have you ever seen him act as crazy as you? What right do you have to say anything about him!"

Su Wenliang's eyes darkened, and he withdrew his fist. "You..."

He was about to say something when he heard a shout from not far away, "Who's there?"

Ye Wanning was startled and exclaimed inwardly, "Oh no!" In this dimly lit place, she and Su Wenliang were unlikely to be able to reason with each other! She patted her head in annoyance, regretting her impulsive words. How much trouble she could have avoided if she had left earlier!

Before she could reply, Su Wenliang suddenly called out, "It's me. What is it?"

"Oh, it's the Third Prince. I'm just a patrolman from the manor. I overheard this..."

"Alright, it's nothing. I drank a bit too much, so I made a bit of a racket. You can go back now." Su Wenliang waved his hand impatiently.

“But…” The man was clearly still unwilling to give up, but seeing Su Wenliang’s stiff tone, he stopped talking, just responded and left.

After the servant left, Ye Wanning looked at Su Wenliang with some confusion. What was going on? Was he helping her?

"Don't overthink it." Su Wenliang glanced at her indifferently, then straightened up. "If we get caught, I won't have a good ending either."

As he spoke, he turned around and limped toward the other side. “It’s very late. I’m sorry to have bothered you today, sister-in-law. Please don’t take offense. Get some rest.”

Ye Wanning's heart skipped a beat. Looking at Su Wenliang's retreating figure, she felt a little guilty. Had she gone too far today?
