Chapter 36: Married
"Oh." An Nian explained, "It's about you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, alone together, spending the entire night in the woods."
Before Du Huaizhi could react, An Nian added, "This matter has spread all over the stables. Even the grooms are talking about it."
Du Huaizhi: "...I was being hunted."
"Well, other people don't care about this. Once it gets to other people's ears, it's their business no matter how they spread it. Besides, you two are unmarried, so it's normal for some rumors to spread."
"I'm married." Du Huaizhi said lightly.
"You've been married, so what? Married—" An Nian suddenly realized and raised her voice, "You've been married?!"
Although Du Huaizhi was reluctant to admit it, this matter was indeed true and was even recorded in the local government documents, with Du Huaizhi's name written on it.
Seeing Du Huaizhi nod, An Nian was so shocked that her jaw dropped. "You...when did it happen? Who was that man?"
"More than a year ago, he..." Du Huaizhi paused, not knowing how to start. Looking back, this marriage was quite dramatic...
At that time, Grandma Huang was still alive. When Du Huaizhi came back from selling cakes in the county, he found that the house was decorated with red and colorful decorations, and the word "囍" was pasted on the windows.
Du Huaizhi was a little confused. Before she could find someone to explain things clearly, she was taken by several aunts and sisters-in-law in the village to dress up.
While dressing up, she learned from the aunts and sisters-in-law that it was Du Huaizhi's childhood sweetheart who came to marry Du Huaizhi, and the government documents had been approved.
Then she talked about how handsome, talented, and polite her childhood sweetheart was. At first, Granny Huang disagreed, but then her childhood sweetheart said he was willing to marry into her family. Granny Huang was very satisfied with his sincerity. Coincidentally, Du Huaizhi was not at home, so Granny Huang agreed to it.
Du Huaizhi: “…”
The childhood sweetheart should be considered Du Huaizhi's, not hers, and the marriage should be arranged by Du Huaizhi. But now Du Huaizhi is no longer alive, and she is just taking care of Granny Huang under the identity of Du Huaizhi.
But it seemed too late to explain now. Grandma Huang's health was getting worse day by day, and it was rare for her to be so happy today. Du Huaizhi didn't have the heart to expose her.
So, they got married in a daze.
After all, it was her first marriage, and Du Huaizhi was a little nervous. She sat on the bed with a red veil covering her head, and was in a dilemma between running away and knocking the groom unconscious.
Just then, the door opened and footsteps approached her. Du Huaizhi first saw a bright red hem of a dress. He stayed at the table for a while before coming towards her.
A slender hand with distinct joints held a wine glass tied with a red string and handed it to Du Huaizhi under the veil. Du Huaizhi was stunned for a moment. She lived in a difficult place, but marriage was a big deal, and she would still have what she needed. Realizing what it was, Du Huaizhi took the wine glass and drank it all.
Du Huaizhi frowned slightly as the spicy wine went down her throat. It wasn't that she couldn't drink, it was just that this wine was mixed with something. Then she heard a faint chuckle.
He drank the wine and put it back together with the wine glass in Du Huaizhi's hand, then sat down beside Du Huaizhi, slowly raised his hand and lifted the veil.
Du Huaizhi only felt her eyes light up, and she turned her head uncomfortably to avoid the glaring candlelight. When she raised her head again, she met a pair of fiery peach blossom eyes.
Du Huaizhi: “???”
Her body stiffened noticeably, and her eyes looked a little strange. Li Siyu was puzzled and softened her tone, "What's wrong?"
This tender and affectionate look struck Du Huaizhi like a bolt of lightning. Aside from the color of his eyes, the man before him was identical to the perverted leader of the Tiandihui. They were exactly the same person.
Who understands? She married her perverted boss for no apparent reason. Even a damn script wouldn’t dare to write this.
Let's put all this aside for now. He didn't seem to know her other identity. Otherwise, with his constant desire to make things difficult for her and to get rid of her, it would be impossible for him to pretend to be like this and marry her.
Du Huaizhi's expression did not change, but his eyes were too complicated to hide, and Li Siyu couldn't understand. "My name is Li Siyu," he said, raising his hand to help her take off the hair accessories, but she turned her head away.
His hand froze in mid-air, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became strange. Du Huaizhi lowered his head, not daring to look at him at all.
After a while, he started moving again, gently removing the hair ornaments bit by bit. Even though he was so careful, Du Huaizhi still felt his scalp tingling and dared not move.
This guy killed almost all the top leaders of the Tiandihui before becoming the leader. His methods were extremely cruel. Even though she had killed countless people, she felt inferior to him.
The hair accessories were taken off and her long hair was let down. Li Siyu looked at her, his Adam's apple rolled and his eyes darkened. He slowly leaned closer and kissed the corner of her mouth.
By the time Du Huaizhi reacted, it was too late. The soft touch at the corner of his mouth brought her back to reality. She subconsciously raised her hand to support his shoulders, her pupils trembling.
Li Siyu had a smile in his eyes. Perhaps it was the effect of the spiked wine, his ears were red. His eyes flickered and he reached out to hook her belt.
Du Huaizhi quickly grasped his hand, met his eyes, and hesitated to speak. Finally, hesitantly, hesitantly said, "I... I can do it myself." Turning his back, he pretended to untie his belt...
"And then?" An Nian suddenly poked his head out.
Du Huaizhi: "..." She didn't seem to say anything, and pushed An Nian's head away, "That's not important."
"Why isn't it important? That's..." An Nian lowered his voice, "Does your father know about this?"
That's a good question. Du Qiyue wanted her to enter Li Zixian's palace, but she probably didn't know. And Li Siyu, that pervert, asked her to follow Du Qiyue's arrangements and get close to Li Zixian, but warned her not to act too intimately.
Du Huaizhi felt a headache. What did these men think of her?
"So who is that man?" An Nian's curiosity was overflowing, unwilling to give up easily. "When I first met you, you didn't look like you were married. What happened after you came back? Was his status too high to be publicized? Or did he die unexpectedly?"
"Does it matter who it is?"
"certainly."
"Then just think of him as someone who cannot be seen in public." Du Huaizhi said, and it was true that he could not be seen in public. After meeting Li Cunjiu, he had to hide even deeper.
"Oh, just tell me. I'm your only friend after all." An Nian begged desperately, "Tell me, I promise not to tell anyone else."
Du Huaizhi knocked An Nian on the forehead and said, "How do you know that you are my only friend?"
An Nian covered his head and frowned, "Isn't it?"
