"My dear husband, why do you say that to me? I didn't know the Fourth Prince would come today. If I had known he would come, I would definitely not have come."
She is not a saint, she also has emotions. She will be sad if she is humiliated again and again.
She looked up at him, tears seeping from her wet eyes, which were reflected by the silvery moonlight and looked like broken stars.
The soft tone sounded aggrieved and pitiful.
"Why don't you trust me, my husband? You saw the toad's blood that night, didn't you? I am innocent."
"What? He still has the nerve to look at your toad blood?" Li Sisi raised her voice, her tone full of disbelief.
Li Nian's eyelids twitched in shock.
Xiao Yunyu was so shocked by her shout that he wanted to cover his overly sensitive ears.
"Xiao Yunyu, don't go too far. You've been messing around out there. Who knows, one day a pregnant woman might come to your house and ask to be your mistress. Why would you need to look at Nian Nian's uterine blood to verify her innocence?"
Li Sisi had previously thought that Xiao Yunyu liked Li Nian. After all, the way the two of them interacted was so sweet.
Now it seems that I don’t like him at all! I don’t even have the most basic respect!
"Who said I was fooling around outside?" Xiao Yunyu looked at Li Nian, "At most, I was drinking with friends outside..."
"Drinking flower wine, be more specific," Li Sisi added.
Xiao Yunyu glared at her with cold eyes: "Furong Pavilion is my property, and I usually go there for business!"
"Oh, it's official business! Everyone knows that you are only a prince, failed the Autumn Examination, and have no official position at all."
Li Nian pulled Li Sisi and said, "Okay, stop talking."
Li Nian raised her eyes to look at Xiao Yunyu. Taking advantage of the dim light, she cast aside her mask of pretense of being well-behaved and said calmly, "Husband, I will tell you where I go from now on. If you don't agree, I won't go."
"Niannian!" Li Sisi felt a pang of heartache and said gently but reluctantly, "Don't put yourself in such a difficult position. You are his wife, not his slave!"
Li Nian smiled at her: "It's okay."
"It does matter!" Li Sisi grabbed her hand and looked up at the silent man. "Xiao Yunyu, don't you think you've been too harsh on Nian Nian? She's not a slave, not a puppet. She has the right to control her own actions and the right to make friends."
Xiao Yunyu's eyes fell on their tightly clasped hands. He snorted coldly and said quietly, "If you have the time to meddle in our affairs, why not go home and see what kind of friends your white glutinous rice ball husband has made recently?"
"What do you mean?" Li Sisi was stunned.
Xiao Yunyu's lips curled up in a cold arc, and he said nonchalantly: "Literally."
Li Nian: ...and asked him to learn a new word.
Without Li Sisi's noise, the carriage finally became quiet.
Xiao Yunyu reviewed the conversation just now and found that his wife really seemed to have no idea that the princess liked women, and doubts suddenly arose in his heart.
The princess never hesitated to get the woman she liked, but she had seen the lady so many times, and even had many opportunities to be alone with her, and not only did she not seize her by force, she didn't even express her feelings?
What is the princess's plan? Is she really just looking for friends?
No, we're just friends, why do you always want to leave him alone?
The more he thought about it, the more depressed he felt.
What husband would worry as much as he does, not only having to guard against men, but also women!
It’s still my second brother’s wife who doesn’t make people worry. With her fierce behavior, only my second brother’s soft and easy-to-knead white glutinous rice balls can tolerate her. Others look down on her!

Li Sisi returned to Jinxiu Residence and found that it was so late and Xiao Yunchen had not returned yet.
Normally, Li Sisi didn't think anything of it. But today, on the way back in the carriage, Xiao Yunyu's words made her feel uneasy.
Without bothering to shower or change clothes, she went straight to the study to look for someone.
There was indeed a candle lit in the study, and Li Sisi pushed the door open and walked in.
The man beside the desk was dressed in a plain blue shirt. He sat there writing something with a slight smile between his eyebrows. At first glance, one could tell that he was a gentleman as gentle as jade.
"Chenchen, haven't you finished your work yet?" As she spoke, Li Sisi walked closer to him.
Xiao Yunchen raised his head slightly, his eyes looking at him tenderly and dotingly, and replied naturally, "It's done. I'll reply later."
Li Sisi half-bent over, looking down at the words he had written. "Who is this letter to? A colleague in the court or a distant friend?"
"Neither of them," Xiao Yunchen stopped writing and said bluntly, "Last time, I wrote a prescription for the medicine my mother had been taking for many years to Miss Wen. She said that some of the medicines in the prescription were not right, so she wrote me a new prescription."
He smiled and said slowly and gently, "My mother said these days that she has felt much better since taking the prescription Miss Wen wrote. I'm writing back to tell her about this."
Hearing his generous and frank statement, Li Sisi froze in place for a moment.
Chenchen and the heroine...
An indescribable bitterness spread in my heart, and many words gathered in my throat. I wanted to vomit but couldn't, so I could only swallow them back with difficulty.
In the original book, the male supporting character was unable to get the love he wanted, but now the female protagonist has given up on the male protagonist and chosen the male supporting character.
Xiao Yunchen waited patiently for the clouds to clear and the moon to appear. She should be happy for him.
It’s a good thing that the second male lead has taken over.
Li Sisi kept brainwashing herself, trying to get rid of those emotions that she shouldn't have, but if emotions could be controlled, it wouldn't be so difficult to let go.
It was as if an invisible giant hand was holding her heart and neck tightly.
"Then you should write back carefully." She quickly said this and ran out in a panic, as if she could break free from the restraint of that big hand.
She ran all the way back to Jinxiu Residence without stopping and waited in the yard for a while, and then waited for a while.
A figure walked in from the gate of the courtyard, and her heart skipped a beat.
The maid Xiao Cui looked at her in surprise and asked, "Madam, you are back? Do you want me to fetch you some water for a bath?"
Her heart fell from the top of the cliff in an instant, and she could even feel the cold wind in the air when her heart fell.
Li Sisi took a deep breath and forced a bitter smile: "Well, go ahead."
"Yes," Xiao Cui responded and stepped back.
Li Sisi looked up and saw a half moon surrounded by stars in the sky.
She stretched out her hand towards the moon in the sky and murmured, "I can't catch it. How can I catch it?"
A sarcastic grin appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You obviously know that you can't catch it, so why are you still trying to catch it? Li Sisi, you are so stupid!"
Tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes, one after another, as if it was a punishment for her being moved.
