Li Nian and Wen Luoqing stood face to face in a rockery surrounded by clear water.
Beneath Wen Luoqing's delicate makeup, her beautiful eyes were filled with sharp sternness. "Tell me, what do you want from me? If you just want to make fun of me, then there's no need. The second daughter of the Wen family being honored by the Emperor is an honor for our entire Wen Mansion."
Li Nian was wearing a priceless aquamarine gilded skirt with a faint smile on her face, and her calmness revealed an aura of dignity that could not be ignored.
Her voice was soft as she spoke slowly, "Miss Wen is indeed the eldest daughter. She is truly extraordinary. I originally thought that we were the same and both disliked Wen Luoxin. It seems that I was just being petty."
Facing Wen Luoqing's puzzled gaze, she explained, "Remember the March appointment I told you about at the Xia Garden Party? I originally wanted to bring that promise forward and teach Wen Luoxin a lesson."
"Miss Wen should know this, right? Wen Luoxin cured Qi He's leg, but she didn't start when the Qi Mansion invited her. Instead, she took the initiative to get to know Qi He when he just returned."
Wen Luoqing frowned, without a smile on her face: "You don't need to sow discord here, I believe in my second sister's character." She glanced at Li Sisi who was guarding outside the rockery and snorted coldly, "If you want to vent your anger for Chen Fu and want to find me to join forces to frame Wen Luoxin, then you have found the wrong person."
Li Nian said with surprise, "Miss Wen thinks she wants Xiao Yunchen?"
She chuckled softly, "If she was after Xiao Yunchen, she wouldn't have framed me at the racecourse and sow discord between me and Xiao Yunyu. Every time she comes to the Xiao residence, she actually has other intentions. If it weren't for what happened at the racecourse that day, I wouldn't have noticed."
"No wonder every time I go to say good morning, my mother-in-law keeps saying she regrets hastily promising me to Xiao Yunyu and missing out on a good daughter-in-law like Second Miss Wen."
Wen Luo listened to her calm tone with a hint of mockery, and sensed something was wrong: "You don't like Prince Xiao?"
Although her words were questions, they were actually in a tone of affirmation.
Li Nianwei paused, then hesitated before speaking: "He... is quite hard to like."
"As long as you are willing to help me, not only can I make the popular Wen Luoxin the target of public criticism, but after the task is accomplished, I will immediately leave Xiao Yunyu and return him to you."
Wen Luo listened to her concise and clear words with a firm look in her eyes and a calm attitude, as if nothing could disturb her heart.
After a long time, she finally responded: "Okay, I promise you."
On the other side, Li Sisi didn't expect to meet the Fourth Prince and the Princess. Seeing them coming towards her together and being stared at by them, she didn't want to go into the rockery to remind Nian Nian.
In a hurry, he took a few steps forward to meet him, trying to stay as far away from the rockery as possible.
"Your Highness greets His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince and Her Royal Highness the Princess."
The Fourth Prince smiled and raised his hand: "Madam Xiao Er, there is no need to be so polite."
The princess looked around behind Li Sisi and asked in confusion, "Why are you the only one here? Where's Madam Yun?"
"She, she has something to do. I'm waiting for her here." Li Sisi looked at her hopefully and said, "How about the Fourth Prince and Princess go and do your work first?"
The princess said steadily: "It's okay, I will wait with you."
The Fourth Prince naturally understood his sister's psychology. She had been distracted recently, and her mind was full of Prince Xiao's wife.
He didn't want to join in the fun anymore, so he said, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
As soon as the Fourth Prince left, the princess saw Li Nian coming out from the rockery.
She immediately trotted over to meet him, her deep, almond-shaped eyes as gentle and dazzling as the stars in the night sky. "It's been a while, Madam Yun, how are you these days?"
Li Nian's eyes were stunned. Every time she encountered the princess's enthusiasm, she could never adapt well.
In her heart, she was very grateful, and with her eyes slightly curved, she replied, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am doing well recently."
"That's good," the princess said, finally relieved, then frowned and said worriedly, "Prince Xiao is too reckless. A gentle woman like Madam Yun is not worthy of being wronged by him."
The princess stared at her with deep eyes, and finally spoke, wanting to say something but hesitant, "I wonder if Madam Yun has ever thought about divorce?"
The princess looked at her shocked and puzzled expression, and then continued to persuade her: "Madam Yun, if you have any troubles, you can come to me. I will do my best to protect you!"
Xiao Yunyu, who was not far away, didn't expect to hear such words as soon as he arrived. The orange in his hand was crushed into pieces with a "snap", and the sweet orange flavor spread everywhere. The sticky orange juice "dripping" from between his fingers to the ground, but he seemed to have no sense of taste.
There was a violent aura surging in the depths of his dark peach blossom eyes, and the arc of his chest was rising and falling more and more, as if his anger was about to swell and explode in the next second.
A soft voice came, with an unwavering determination: "Your Highness, you are joking. My husband is a good man. I love him very much and do not want to divorce."
Xiao Yunyu's anger seemed to have been pierced through and disappeared in an instant, but his heart was beating even hotter and more violently than before.
The violent eyes disappeared, leaving only love like the bright and scorching sun locked on Li Nian not far away. The corners of his eyes were raised, and the corners of his mouth were upturned with obvious pleasure.
With his ears red, Xiao Yunyu walked step by step towards where Li Nian was.
His dark eyes were fixed on her, hot emotions were surging in his chest, and every heartbeat was as scorching as a drum.
When the princess heard Li Nian's words, a bitter taste surged in her heart. Although it was an answer she had expected, she still felt unwilling to accept it when she heard it with her own ears.
Just as he was about to say something else, he heard a wanton and cold voice with a warning: "The girls in the princess's mansion are not good enough for you..."
"Xiao Yunyu!" The princess suddenly panicked and glanced at Li Nian. Seeing her face full of confusion, she felt relieved.
He shot an angry look at Xiao Yunyu and said coldly, "Prince Xiao, don't forget our agreement!"
"Ha, Your Highness, you still remember the agreement?" Xiao Yunyu said leisurely, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. "Since you remember, then why do you keep coming to my wife and trying to sow discord between us?"
"I, I just feel sorry for Madam Yun, a gentle person, being bullied by your rage and capricious temper."
"Are you relieved now?" Xiao Yunyu's dark eyes were tinged with a smile. He walked over to Li Nian, hugged her in his arms, and said proudly, "My wife said she loves me very much!"
