"This is?"
Jing Qingyun looked at the imperial edict in front of her, her deep pupils gleaming with a complex light.
Sheng Haoyu smiled and shoved the imperial edict into Jing Qingyun's hand. "Good brother, your crimes have been cleared, and you have been reinstated to your official position and prince status. The ministers are all witnesses."
Sheng Lingwei was delighted. "Third brother, you're quite quick. I'm curious how you convinced those ministers to be witnesses?"
"What's so difficult about that?" Sheng Haoyu puffed out his chest proudly. "I just told them that it would be very simple for me to ascend the throne, provided that the Jing Prince's Mansion is cleared of its crimes."
Ye Jinyin rolled her eyes. "Alright, don't you have any self-awareness? If it weren't for Weiwei backing you up, those ministers wouldn't be so obedient."
"Haha, that's true." Sheng Haoyu faced Sheng Lingwei, smiling and cupping his hands in greeting.
"Third Imperial Sister, I thank you again for your great kindness. Today, I have taken advantage of your influence and acted as a fox borrowing the tiger's power. I must say, it feels pretty good."
I find it particularly laughable to see those usually arrogant and domineering ministers forced to grovel.
Sheng Lingwei laughed heartily, "Haha, Third Brother, no need to be so polite. This was just a small favor of mine. If those ministers disobey in the future, feel free to use my name to intimidate them."
Sheng Haoyu's eyes lit up, his handsome face beaming with smiles, and he once again sincerely bowed and thanked him.
"Third Imperial Sister, I will never thank you enough. To be honest, the throne is already a sure thing for me, but I have been living a secluded life for many years and have always lacked a bit of deterrent power."
Especially in front of those senior ministers, I seem somewhat weak. Now that you have spoken, I will shamelessly take advantage of your influence.
Please rest assured, at most I will use your name to intimidate the ministers; I would never use your name to do anything wrong. I swear to God.
"Don't."
Sheng Lingwei immediately stopped Sheng Haoyu from making the oath.
"Third brother, it's fine to swear to the heavens, but I have my own judgment. If you ever do something to betray me, I will send down thunderbolts without any punishment from the heavens."
The tone shifted, and Sheng Lingwei's expression turned serious, her sharp gaze fixed on Sheng Haoyu.
"But now, there's something I need you to promise me."
Sheng Haoyu paused, immediately wiped the smile off his face, and said seriously, "Please speak frankly, Third Princess."
Sheng Lingwei slightly curled her lips, stepped forward and took Ye Jinyin's hand, saying word by word, "Third brother, I don't have any other merits, but I am extremely protective of my own."
Yinyin has now become my good friend, and I naturally consider her one of my own, and I can't bear to see her suffer even the slightest grievance.
Therefore, you must promise me that you will pamper her, protect her, and respect her. If she ever suffers even the slightest injustice, I will not let you off the hook.
Ye Jinyin was moved to tears. She was always strong and never shed tears, but at this moment she finally couldn't hold back anymore.
Waaah, Vivi is the most loyal, best, and most worthy sister in the world.
Jing Qingyun's lips curled up as he looked at Sheng Lingwei with doting eyes. His Weiwei, how could she be so adorable?!
Sheng Haoyu was stunned for a moment. He had originally thought that his third sister would talk to him about the ownership of Yucheng County.
He was completely taken aback when he realized that the Third Princess was referring to Yin Yin.
Ultimately, he was narrow-minded.
The Third Princess is broad-minded and sincere. Even though she has only known someone for a little over an hour, she still protects him like this.
He was deeply impressed!
Sheng Haoyu quickly snapped out of his daze, gave Ye Jinyin a deep look, then turned to Sheng Lingwei and patted his chest in assurance.
"Third Princess, I promise you that I will never let Yin Yin suffer any grievances in this life. I will love her, pamper her, protect her, and respect her with all my heart."
Even if I become emperor, I will never take any other women into my harem besides her. I will be devoted to one person for life.
This was the vow I made when I married Yin Yin.
Sheng Lingwei raised an eyebrow, turned her head to look at Ye Jinyin, and asked her with her eyes whether what Sheng Haoyu said was true?
Ye Jinyin met Sheng Lingwei's gaze, nodded shyly, and tears welled up in her eyes again.
At this moment, she felt like the happiest woman in the world, with good sisters who protected her and a loving husband.
My life is already complete.
Sheng Lingwei's expression softened slightly, and she said to Sheng Haoyu, "Third brother, I will believe what you say for now, but you must keep your promise and not be a heartless man."
Sheng Haoyu smiled warmly, his eyes crinkling, and took Ye Jinyin's small hand in his, nodding vigorously.
"Don't worry, Third Princess, my Yinyin is quite formidable. She warned me long ago that if I dared to betray her, she would cut me in half with one stroke..."
The words stopped abruptly, followed by Sheng Haoyu's painful cry for mercy, "Ouch, it hurts so much, Yinyin, pinch me gently."
Ye Jinyin, her face flushed with embarrassment, pinched Sheng Haoyu's waist hard, her posture suggesting that if he dared to say anything, he would suffer the consequences.
Seeing that begging for mercy was useless, Sheng Haoyu quickly bent over, grinned, and looked at Ye Jinyin with a fawning expression, saying nice things all the time.
Sheng Lingwei blinked, her eyes filled with a mischievous, amused smile.
Unexpectedly, her third brother was flexible and adaptable, and had a somewhat goofy personality, which complemented Yin Yin's personality.
"Alright, Yinyin, spare the Third Prince for now. He still has to go to the palace to handle state affairs later."
Ye Jinyin immediately let go of his hand, and her obedient and docile appearance made Sheng Haoyu click his tongue in amazement.
A touch of jealousy welled up in my heart.
dt-tb
Jing Qingyun slapped Sheng Haoyu on the back. He was all too familiar with the look in his eyes just now. He had to warn his good brother to avoid following in his footsteps.
"Haoyu, don't overthink it. Weiwei and your wife are just good friends. Their relationship is pure."
Sheng Haoyu hissed, tilted his head and looked at Jing Qingyun in confusion, rubbing his back with one hand, "Uh... bro, I didn't mean anything by it!"
Jing Qingyun: (?_?|||) So I'm just a clueless noob, worrying about nothing!
Ye Jinyin and Sheng Lingwei exchanged a smile, then held hands and went to the other side, away from the two fools.
Sheng Lingwei earnestly advised, "Yinyin, a man's words are deceitful. The Third Prince may have sweet words, but no one can guarantee that he will keep his promises after he ascends to a high position."
Therefore, you need to become strong yourself and have a backup plan. Historically, many men are unfaithful; if it really comes to that, you won't be too passive.
Ye Jinyin was deeply moved and nodded with a smile.
"Weiwei, thank you for thinking of me so much. To be honest, you care about me more than my family does. I am really touched."
She thought.
She must have done a lot of good deeds in her past life to have met such a good friend as Weiwei in this life.
Sheng Lingwei smiled and said, "Yinyin, you were the first good sister I made in the capital, of course I will protect you."
