Li Nian blinked in confusion: "Husband, why are you here?"
Xiao Yunyu let go of his hand, and a cold voice rang out: "Come and see what's so good here that you won't want to leave."
"The princess invited us to a fireworks party. We played a little late, so we stayed here," Li Nian explained.
"Did she do anything to you?" The man's expression could not be seen clearly in the dark night, and one could only guess from his voice that he must be extremely unhappy at the moment.
Li Nian thought for a moment and said, "Well... the princess was very kind to us. She invited Sisi and me to watch the dancers in her palace, treated us to delicious fruit wine, and even took us to set off fireworks."
As soon as the voice fell, Xiao Yunyu quickly followed up: "Then who do you think is better, the second brother's wife or the princess?"
Li Nian replied seriously, "How can they be the same? The princess is a member of the royal family. How can we be compared with her status?"
"What about me and my second brother's wife?" Xiao Yunyu asked hurriedly.
"Of course it is."
"It's different!" Li Nian changed the subject.
She climbed up from the bed, put her arms around Xiao Yunyu's neck, and said softly, "Sisi has her own husband. She wants to stay with her husband until old age. You are my husband!"
"So you still know that I am your husband." Xiao Yunyu's eyes moved slightly, as if he thought of something, and his tone suddenly became cold and fierce: "What's going on between you and the Fourth Prince today?"
Li Nian knew that she had sneaked into the princess's villa late at night to find her, and it was definitely not to ask about her well-being, but to really come to call her to task.
She answered truthfully, "Sisi and I ran into Wen Luoyi and her friends at the banquet that day. We had an argument, and when we went to the side hall to change clothes, someone lit some incense in the room, and I felt a little uncomfortable when I smelled it. Sisi and my second brother were in the room, so I went to the stream to wait for them."
"Who knew a man would suddenly appear and grab me?" When Li Nian said this, he felt a little genuine fear. The scene that happened during the day seemed to be replayed, and the fingers around his neck clenched into fists.
She took a deep breath and said in a lighter voice, "Husband, I didn't seduce him."
"real?"
Hearing the doubt in his voice, Li Nian's eyes flashed with mockery. What was she expecting?
She pursed her lips, ignoring the bitter taste in her throat, and loosened her arms around his neck.
When she raised her eyes, she regained her soft and obedient appearance and said pitifully, "Really, my husband, please believe me, okay?"
Xiao Yunyu did not respond, but stood up to light the candle in the room. The flickering candlelight instantly illuminated the dark room.
Li Nian was startled by his action: "Husband, what are you doing? It will be troublesome if others find out."
"It's discovered, it's no big deal." Xiao Yunyu walked to the bedside and sat down with a candle.
He held the candle in one hand and lifted Li Nian's sleeve with the other, not stopping until he reached her arm.
Li Nian was confused, "Husband, what are you going to do?"
A bit of scarlet toad's blood jumped into Li Nian's eyes, and she finally understood his intention. Her cold eyes were filled with shame and grievance.
Unexpectedly, even after she explained, he still didn't believe it! Haha, who does he think he is?
Xiao Yunyu raised the corner of his mouth, put down her sleeve, and patted her head gently: "Be good."
Li Nian lowered his head obediently, his eyelashes trembling slightly, hiding the humiliation and anger in his eyes.
"Miss Yun, have you seen anyone?" The rough voice of the guard suddenly sounded outside the house.
Li Nian was shocked. It was all Xiao Yunyu's fault for lighting the lamp! Even if he wanted to check if she had lost her virginity, he could have waited until she got home tomorrow to check!
She frowned slightly and looked at the man on the bed with displeasure, but saw that he was leisurely supporting his head with one hand, staring at her with his deep peach blossom eyes with a smile on his face.
Li Nian bit her lip and raised her voice to explain, "I wanted to get some sleep, so I lit the candle. Excuse me, big brother, did anything happen outside?"
"I'm glad that Miss Yun is okay. Maybe we were mistaken. It's okay now." The voice of the guard outside came.
Li Nian lay down at the crack of the door and listened to the noise outside. It seemed that they had all left.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
She raised her eyes to look at the nonchalant man on the bed, pursed her lips, walked towards him, and said seriously: "Husband, trespassing into the princess's villa is always bad. If the royal family blames us, I'm afraid it will implicate our family. You'd better go back quickly."
Xiao Yunyu lowered his voice, perhaps because he was in a good mood, and his tone was a little tired: "There must be martial law outside. If I go out now, I will be walking into a trap."
He comfortably changed his position, occupying most of the bed by himself, and said helplessly, "I'll stay here with you tonight. I'll leave tomorrow morning when they change shifts."
Li Nian was stunned for a long time after hearing this.
Does that mean she will sleep in the same bed with Xiao Yunyu tonight?
She had never slept in the same bed with a man before, so she wouldn't be used to it and wouldn't be able to sleep! Unless Xiao Yunyu knocked her out like in the novel...
She slowly lay down, her petite body curled up at the edge of the bed, not daring to touch Xiao Yunyu at all.
Thinking of what might happen that night, her heart started pounding with nervousness, and she called out in a trembling voice, "Husband~"
A low and soft voice sounded, and Xiao Yunyu's beautiful peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, with a fiery dark color surging from the depths of his eyes.
Then he chuckled, his tone low and lazy: "Don't seduce me, I won't sleep with you tonight."
Li Nian: ???
Brother, it seems that you are really not capable of this.
Otherwise, why would he stay here and not sleep with her? Was it just to annoy her? Was it fun?
You said there was martial law outside and that you would be arrested if you went out. If I hadn't read the original novel and knew your martial arts skills, I would have believed you!
Xiao Mansion.
Xiao Yunchen lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
What did Big Brother mean by what he said before?
"I really don't know how you manage to be an official!"
"If you had any brains left, you would know that the princess has many beautiful ladies in her mansion. She doesn't like men, she likes women!"
Xiao Yunchen's face was filled with shock and disbelief. "Brother, be careful with your words. If you spread rumors about the royal family, your entire family will be exterminated!"
"Not to mention, how can women and girls continue the family line?"
Xiao Yunyu's tone was sarcastic, and he scoffed, "Love isn't something that has to be passed down through the family line. Many people just do what they want, as long as they like it, without caring about etiquette or morality."
Xiao Yunchen looked at the bright moonlight outside the window and felt a surge of uneasiness in his heart.
If my eldest brother is not talking nonsense, then the princess kept Sisi and my eldest sister-in-law. Could it be that she fell in love with them?
He walked to the window with a restless heart, looking at the half-moon hanging on the treetops outside the house. The whole world was quiet and silent.
I wonder if Sisi is asleep? Will she miss him?
Since they got married, Sisi always wanted his goodnight kiss before going to bed, and he always wanted his good morning kiss before getting up in the morning.
Now that she has nothing, will she miss him so much that she can't sleep?
No, I have to ask for leave early tomorrow morning, and then ride to Nanyuan to pick up Sisi and bring her back home!
