Conscience? Of course my conscience doesn't hurt.
Because in my heart, my husband is just that perfect!
Seeing the strange look on the Fourth Prince's face, Xie Yuan knew what he was thinking.
She felt no guilt whatsoever; instead, she looked back with even greater confidence.
Fourth Prince: ...As expected of Helian Jue's wife, she is indeed arrogant to the point of being annoying.
"Little Si'er, I just told you you have no manners, and you still dare to be so disrespectful!"
The fourth prince secretly disliked it, while Helian Jue blamed his foolish younger brother for not knowing his place.
The fourth prince was stunned: "How...how did I break the rules?"
He didn't actively cause trouble.
Besides, the matter of "reminding" Helian Jue not to refer to himself as "I" is already over, isn't it?
Why is Helian Jue still looking for a second chance?
"You still dare to argue? Who is my princess to you?"
Helian Jue's peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a dangerous aura. "Haven't you learned to call her 'sister-in-law' yet?"
Hmph, it seems I didn't teach this stupid younger brother a lesson on our wedding day!
When the Fourth Prince met Helian Jue's dangerous gaze and heard him mention "sister-in-law," memories he thought he had forgotten instantly resurfaced.
He instinctively reached out and covered his neck—
Waaah!
On the day of Helian Jue's wedding, he and the fifth brother went to cause trouble.
As expected, following the script, he angered Helian Jue.
Instead of making a fuss, Helian Jue simply reached out and grabbed his neck.
The feeling of being choked and unable to breathe is truly terrifying.
So much so that even a year and a half later, the fourth prince still has nightmares about it.
Thinking back on it now, his body trembled uncontrollably, and his face turned deathly pale.
"Your Highness~~"
Although Princess Xu disliked her husband for being stupid and clumsy, he was still her husband after all.
She could scold or beat him, but she couldn't stand by and watch him be bullied.
Sigh, although Princess Xu would bet that the Fourth Prince's fear of Helian Jue was definitely due to her own foolish provocation first.
But, after all, they are the people I'm protecting, so I can't really just ignore them.
Princess Xu's voice instantly shattered the Fourth Prince's spell of fear.
He quickly dodged and hid behind Princess Xu.
Helian Jue & Xie Yuan: ...
What kind of operation is this?
He was scared, so he hid behind his wife?
Princess Xu was slightly embarrassed.
Although she was used to her husband's timidity, she still felt somewhat embarrassed in front of outsiders, especially with her idol among them.
“Your Highness! Prince Yue is right to remind you. Sister A Yuan is your sister-in-law. You shouldn’t be calling me ‘you’ and ‘me’.”
To hide her embarrassment, Princess Xu quickly turned to the Fourth Prince and said...
Fourth Prince: ...I asked you to stand up for me! Why are you helping Helian Jue and his wife bully me?
Princess Xu's smile was somewhat stiff, as if to say, "I'm already trying to help you save face."
After all, you were indeed rude!
Although in the royal family, there was constant infighting among the princes.
However, proper etiquette should still be observed.
Helian Jue was the eldest brother, and Xie Yuan was the eldest sister-in-law.
Of course, they don't need to adhere to the principle of "the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother," but they shouldn't treat her with the same disrespect as the Fourth Prince.
The fourth prince felt slightly aggrieved; he just didn't like Helian Jue.
Moreover, his several encounters with Xie Yuan were not pleasant.
The Fourth Prince is a straightforward guy; he can't go from being enemies one second to being all lovey-dovey the next.
"Your Highness!!"
Seeing that the Fourth Prince was still being difficult, Princess Xu raised her voice.
She will indeed protect the Fourth Prince, but if the Fourth Prince does something wrong, she will be the first to jump out and teach him a lesson!
Her spiked club is getting a little lonely.
The fourth prince seemed to hear the threat emanating from the spiked club, and his whole body trembled. "Yes! I know I was wrong!"
Helian Jue & Xie Yuan: ...
Tsk tsk, what's this called?
Brine is used to curdle tofu; one thing can subdue another.
Xie Yuan, who traveled from later generations, immediately thought of this proverb.
She suddenly felt that the Fourth Prince and Xu Yuan were a perfect match; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were made in heaven!
One is a coward, the other is fierce.
One is adorably silly, the other is incredibly clever.
It seems that the emperor in the capital is not only good at "matchmaking".
They can be quite reliable sometimes.
"Sister-in-law! I was rude just now, please don't take offense!"
Just as Xie Yuan was silently complaining, the Fourth Prince obediently bowed and apologized to Xie Yuan.
Helian Jue and Princess Xu both nodded in satisfaction: This child is teachable!
Xie Yuan smiled slightly, "It's alright, we're all family! Besides, A Yuan and I hit it off immediately."
Therefore, even out of respect for Princess Xu, she wouldn't bother with a husky!
Little fan Xu Wangfei blushed as her idol specifically mentioned her.
Ahhh!
Is it because Ah Yuan and Ah Jie like me that they "love me and everything about me"?
Fourth Prince: ...Something feels off!
But the fourth prince couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.
He could only scratch his head in confusion.
Helian Jue is not a simpleton like the Fourth Prince.
He glanced sharply at Princess Xu, whose face was flushed and eyes were sparkling, and a sense of crisis suddenly arose in his heart.
Why is this Xu woman so unreserved?
My princess is of course excellent, but how can you, a woman, be so frivolous?
It seems I should try to keep her away from Yuezhou as much as possible in the future!
