"Let's take it one step at a time. We have no other choice but to do this. My dear consort, you can visit the princess's residence often when you have free time to find out what's going on with them."
Emperor Yan Zhao sighed helplessly.
"Alright! In my opinion, let him fight for the throne if he wants to. We won't get involved, as long as our children are safe."
Consort Liu also sighed. It was a tragedy that the royals could live like this.
"Help me up. Since Shen Jinchen wants to control the court, then let him control it. The person I have wronged the most in my life is you. We were in love back then, and I originally wanted to make you my principal wife, but my mother and father both disagreed. From now on, I will be free from all troubles, but I can spend more time with you and Yu'er."
"Let's go, I'll visit your palace."
After figuring these things out, Emperor Yan Zhao's expression relaxed slightly. He wanted to protect the entire banquet, but he was not capable enough, so he didn't need to restrain himself.
"good!"
Consort Liu was relieved to see that he had come to his senses. Yes, she had loved this man her whole life, but in the end she was still just a concubine!
Everyone knows that holding a high position brings unlimited power, but who knows how much they are not in control of their own destiny?
...
Ever since Wen Qiyu overheard Jun Xiaoqiao and Cen Xi's conversation that day, he felt very dangerous, and that his sister-in-law was really a terrible person.
He actually said, he actually said, if he doesn't like his older brother anymore, he shouldn't come and cause him trouble.
Oh my god! I'm so scared.
He doesn't want to live with a woman. He loves snakes more than anything in his life. He'd rather sleep with a snake than with that woman.
Women are terrifying!
Moreover, his sister-in-law is even more terrifying. Should he run away from home again?
Otherwise, what if his sister-in-law sets her sights on him, and he has no choice but to marry her, just like his brother did?
"Uncle, what are you doing, looking at me like that with those shifty eyes?"
Jun Xiaoqiao was resting with her eyes closed in the courtyard, but she always felt that someone was watching her.
So as soon as she opened her eyes, she decided to go find this person. She had sharp eyes and spotted Wen Qiyu at a glance.
"I... I'm fine. I just thought that my sister-in-law is getting married to my brother tomorrow, and I don't have any gifts to give, so I'm giving you two snakes as a congratulatory gift."
Wen Qiyu stammered for a moment, then grabbed the two snakes, one black and one white, and tossed them toward Jun Xiaoqiao.
Jun Xiaoqiao was so frightened by the sight of the limp thing that her mouth twitched and she screamed wildly. In her desperation, she even used her lightness skill to run away.
Once she was on a rooftop, Jun Xiaoqiao finally managed to compose herself and asked Wen Qiyu below:
"What are you trying to do? Why... why do you have to give me a snake?"
"Sister-in-law, don't misunderstand. The snake is the most precious thing I have. I have nothing else to give you besides the snake. Don't be afraid, they will be very well-behaved."
Seeing Jun Xiaoqiao so flustered, Wen Qiyu became even more anxious. Could it be that she had offended her sister-in-law so easily and now she was expected to repay her with her body? Thinking of this, Wen Qiyu wiped the sweat from her forehead and whispered to herself.
“You… well, since it’s something precious to you, you should keep it. I… I can’t accept it, and I don’t need your gift.”
Jun Xiaoqiao has always been bold, but the animal she fears most in her life is definitely the snake, so how could she possibly accept such a gift?
"Okay... alright, if you don't like it, then I'll take it back. Since you don't like snakes, then don't like me either. I like snakes; they'll sleep with me."
Seeing that the other person really hated snakes, Wen Qihe immediately rushed into the yard, snatched his snake back, and ran away as if it were a precious treasure.
Seeing Wen Qiyu leave like that, Jun Xiaoqiao patted her chest frantically, thank goodness, the person she had her eye on wasn't the second son of this family.
Otherwise, she would be so frightened that her heart, liver, and lungs would fall out.
What did he mean by his last sentence? What did he mean by "don't like him in the future"?
When did she start liking him?
Why is this uncle acting so strangely?
Jun Xiaoqiao was so frightened by Wen Qiyu that she lost all interest in staying in Wen Qiheng's courtyard. She had to go and say goodbye to Wen's parents.
She had originally planned to leave that night, but the thought of the snake made her tremble, so she decided to leave quickly and stay away from Wen Qiyu in the future.
Wen Qiyu caught her precious child, returned to her courtyard, and headed straight for her study.
Well, these past few days, his older brother has been taking over his place, not only sleeping in his bed but also trying to take over his study.
And there he is, still writing furiously in his room right now.
"I'll only use it for a few days, you don't need to rush me."
When Wen Qiheng saw that it was Wen Qiyu who came in, he said somewhat guiltily.
"Big brother, I've discovered a secret, do you want to hear it?"
Although Wen Qiyu doesn't like reading, she's definitely bright. Jun Xiaoqiao's reaction just now clearly showed that she's afraid of snakes.
And what's more, they actually coveted him?
He has to retaliate, and I believe his older brother would be happy to do so.
"What secret?"
Wen Qiheng asked suspiciously.
"That's right. The woman you're marrying tomorrow is afraid of snakes. I've already tested her. Brother, since she's framed you like this, should we teach her a lesson tomorrow?"
After Wen Qiyu figured out the key to this, her eyes lit up.
"Did she offend you?"
Wen Qiheng gazed at Wen Qiyu with a deep look. If he remembered correctly, this kid had been helping that woman just a few days ago.
“She told the princess that day that she would come to me when she got tired of playing with me. How could I, a young man in my prime, be ruined by her? So I was observing her. Today, I accidentally discovered that she is afraid of snakes. Brother, the wife you found is really unreliable.”
After thinking for a moment, Wen Qiyu decided to tell the whole story.
"How could she say such a thing? She's shameless! What do you mean, 'the wife I found'? I've only met her twice, and this shameless woman is already clinging to me. I think your plan is feasible. Tomorrow, put a few snakes on the bed in my yard. I want to see how arrogant she can be."
Wen Qiheng agreed to marry her, but he didn't say he would live a good life with her afterward.
Now she actually says that after she got tired of him, she would make a move on his younger brother. It's utterly absurd.
"Brother, if you agree, when you go out to pick up the bride tomorrow, I'll put five or six snakes on her bed. I guarantee it'll scare her to death."
Wen Qiyu looked like she had made up her mind.
"Fine! Shameless whore, let her talk nonsense. Tomorrow we'll expose all her dirty secrets."
Wen Qiheng had had enough of that woman these past two days. Since Wen Qiyu wanted revenge, why shouldn't he get involved?
"Brother, you can't insult her like that. She'll be your wife later. Insulting her is like insulting yourself."
Seeing that his older brother looked like he wanted to bite the woman to death, Wen Qiyu immediately offered some gloating advice.
"Shut up. Tomorrow you're going to put all your precious snakes into that new house."
Wen Qiheng glared at Wen Qiyu through gritted teeth.
Wen Qiyu looked at Wen Qiheng and shook his head helplessly, feeling that his brother had gone mad and could no longer see any gentlemanly demeanor in him.
