Chapter 44 Whose Child
At the gate, several servants were busy moving boxes and crates. Du Ruozhi's heart sank. She pushed through the crowd and rushed into the inner room, where she saw Du Huaizhi sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, with Wangduan standing beside him.
"Sister!" Du Ruozhi threw herself on Du Huaizhi's knees, her voice tinged with tears, "Are you really going to move in with that person?"
Du Huaizhi looked at her tearful eyes and softened a little. Although he didn't want to admit it, he said, "That man is your brother-in-law."
Du Ruozhi tightly grasped the corner of Du Huaizhi's clothes, tears falling on the fabric of Du Huaizhi's clothes, "That Li Siyu is obviously not a good person! He..."
Wang Duan coughed lightly beside him and said, "Ahem, my master is a good person."
These words did not attract Du Ruozhi's attention, but instead she gave him a cold look.
Arrogant judgment: "..."
She looks like a cute girl, why is she so fierce...
Du Huaizhi was also helpless. Did she look like a reliable person? Why was Du Ruozhi so clingy to her? "Don't cry, I just moved out. It's not like I'll never see you again."
Du Ruozhi didn't care and cried even harder, "I don't care. I finally brought my sister back home. She's only been back for a few days. Why can he just take her away like that?"
"..." Du Huaizhi was a little overwhelmed and patted Du Ruozhi's head from time to time. She really didn't know how to coax people.
"Oh, whose child is crying like this?" A gentle voice suddenly sounded. Du Ruozhi seemed to be touched by the fear deep in her heart. Her body trembled violently and her crying stopped abruptly.
Du Huaizhi looked up and saw a light green figure of the same style as Li Siyu leading a group of people into the small courtyard in her corner. The man had a gentle temperament like jade, holding a folding fan with the four big words "unparalleled wisdom" written on it in his hand and fanning it gently. The scholarly air filled her face. Who else could it be but Wei Shan?
Looking at him, one gets the feeling that one is always looking at someone with new eyes after a long absence. Previously, Wei Shan's scholarly air was revealed through his attire and appearance, but now.
On his jade-like face, his eyes were slightly darkened, clearly from days of toiling and studying. But even so, they were still as bright as stars, and held a hint of cynicism.
Du Ruozhi shrank timidly behind Du Huaizhi, daring to look at him with only one eye, and the clinginess she had just shown was gone.
"Ah...Sister...he...he he he..."
Du Huaizhi patted the back of her hand and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, he won't bite."
Wei Shan closed his folding fan and tapped it lightly on his palm. "It's only been two months since we last met. I didn't expect Miss Du to become Brother Li's wife. Eh—" He sighed and gave a thumbs-up. "Miss Du has good taste."
Du Huaizhi: "..." He caught a glimpse of Wangduan standing aside. Is it really appropriate to tease the leader of his own guild so blatantly?
Wangduan turned his face away expressionlessly, pretending not to hear.
"Second Miss Du." Wei Shan tilted his head and met Du Ruozhi's gaze, smiling brightly as he asked, "Do you still remember me?"
Du Ruozhi quickly hid her head behind Du Huaizhi, sniffed, and thought in her little head: This person is a bad guy, the bad guy knows that brother-in-law, and it seems that they have a good relationship, so that brother-in-law is also a bad guy.
"What are you doing here?" Du Huaizhi didn't know what Du Ruozhi was thinking, so he looked at Wei Shan and asked.
Wei Shan quickly unfolded his folding fan, covering half of his face and revealing only a pair of smiling eyes: "Of course I am here on the prince's orders to apologize to Miss Du." He waved his hand, and the group of people who were originally standing behind him came forward carrying several boxes.
"The prince said he had offended me before, and these small gifts are just a token of his apology." Wei Shan turned around and looked around, then leaned closer and whispered quietly, "There are quite a few more that your good husband has withheld. He said you'd have to move them there if you were late, so he left them with him first. These are just to make things more presentable."
Du Huaizhi couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard this. This style of doing things was indeed very Li Siyu.
The boxes were opened one by one, and the dazzling jewels and precious stones made people dazzled. An Nian poked her head out from the corner, her eyes wide open, "Wow——"
Wei Shan smiled and took out a brocade box. "This is a gift that the prince specially prepared for Miss Du."
Du Huaizhi didn't want to look at it, so he took it and put it on the stone table. When he turned around, he saw Du Ruozhi curled up like a quail beside him.
With a sigh, he pulled her up and said, "Go see if there's anything you like? Pick out a few and think of them as gifts from my sister."
Du Ruozhi tugged at her sister's sleeve tightly and shrank back, her face pale as she shook her head repeatedly, "Sister... I don't want it."
Wei Shan saw this, and a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes. He squatted down and looked Du Ruozhi in the eye. "Miss Du, are you afraid of me?"
Du Ruozhi trembled all over, and her eyes were instantly filled with fear.
Du Huaizhi immediately protected Du Ruozhi, "She is timid, don't scare her."
Wei Shan stood up straight, waving his folding fan gently, "I just wanted to tease her." He paused, and when he looked at Du Huaizhi, his eyes were meaningful.
"I wonder how Miss Du managed to get Brother Li to submit?"
Du Huaizhi: "..." Did Li Siyu ever give in? Apparently not. He was the one who initiated the intimate things between them. "He threw himself at me."
Upon hearing this, Wei Shan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Du Huaizhi with an indescribable expression, and couldn't help but raise his hand and give him a thumbs up.
"From today on, Miss Du, you are Wei's idol."
It's definitely not easy to take down that perverted woman who heads the guild. Not to mention that this woman even gave him a name. How can I put it? I can only say that God is helping him.)
Wei Shan finally has a chance to make a name for himself!
Du Huaizhi: "..." He raised his hand to cover his lips and cleared his throat, "Ahem, actually, I don't have a high status in his place." Under his strange gaze, he continued, "So, I'm afraid I can't help you with anything."
"How is this possible?" Wei Shan blurted out. He thought carefully about the plot about the young couple in the book he had read and concluded, "Did you have an argument?"
Du Huaizhi: “…”
Raise your hand and support your forehead instead.
Wei Shan thought he was right, "It's normal for a young couple to quarrel. Although Brother Li doesn't look like a good person and is not actually a good person, but if you think about it in a positive way, he..." Wei Shan was speechless for a moment, and he couldn't find any words to describe it even after searching through the vocabulary in his mind.
The atmosphere became awkward for a moment, and even Wangduan, who always had a stern face, couldn't help but tap his toes on the ground.
"..." Wei Shan and Du Huaizhi looked at each other, their mouths opening and closing, but they couldn't utter a word for a long time. If they were asked to describe what was good about Li Siyu, he really couldn't say a single word.
"At least... he looks good." Du Huaizhi spoke, as if saving him from danger.
