Chapter 56 Bullying My Wife
"Is it delicious?" Li Siyu propped up her chin and looked at her, "My husband cooked it himself."
Du Huaizhi's hand trembled, and some of the hot porridge spilled onto her clothes. Just as she was about to take action, she saw Li Siyu suddenly serious, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, and carefully wiped her. Li Siyu's fingertips accidentally brushed her neck, and Du Huaizhi flinched suddenly, as if she had been burned.
"Don't move." He held her shoulders with a teasing smile on his face, but his movements became gentler. "Are you burned?"
She turned her face away without saying anything, and the tips of her ears turned red.
Li Siyu moved closer to her mischievously, put his arm around her waist, pulled her onto his lap, and his breath swept over the tips of her red ears. "Madam, you are so shy. It reminds me of our wedding night." Du Huaizhi's whole body stiffened, and the hairs on the back of her neck stood up instantly. She struggled to push him away, but Li Siyu grabbed her wrist and pressed it against her chest.
The celadon bowl fell to the ground with a clang, and the porridge spilled onto the green bricks. Li Siyu tucked the loose hair around her ears behind her ears with an intimate gesture, and his peach blossom eyes were full of tenderness.
"How about I change your clothes for you?"
"Li Siyu!"
"Um?"
Du Huaizhi couldn't bear it any longer, and in a rage... he sniffed and his body trembled slightly uncontrollably.
Li Siyu looked at her slightly red eyes and the moisture in them. He was dazed for a moment and his hands loosened slightly unconsciously.
Du Huaizhi seized the opportunity to break free and flee. She stumbled out of the room, her body, depleted of internal energy, even weaker than she'd imagined. She was panting after only a few steps. She clutched onto the porch pillar, gasping for breath. Behind her, she heard Li Siyu's unhurried footsteps.
Du Huaizhi cursed inwardly, walked a few steps forward, and saw several figures coming towards him.
Leading the group were Wei Shan, dressed in green, and Du Ruozhi.
Du Ruozhi?
How did the two of them get together?
…
"Sister..." Du Ruozhi's eyes were moistened with tears. "It's only been a few days since we last met. How come you're so thin? Did that person treat you harshly?"
It's true that she is weak, but not necessarily thin. Although she was in a coma for several days, she can't even tie her waist tightly now. I don't know what she was fed while she was unconscious.
Seeing Du Huaizhi's indescribable expression, Du Ruozhi understood, "I knew it."
Du Huaizhi held his forehead and did not explain. Instead, he asked her, "How come you have time to come here today?" He originally wanted to ask why Li Siyu let her in, but after thinking about it, he changed the subject.
Du Ruozhi twisted her lips and frowned slightly, "I haven't seen my sister for almost half a month, why can't I come over?"
Du Huaizhi choked a bit, and seemed to agree. "I mean, Li...how did your brother-in-law agree to let you in?"
"Hmm..." Du Ruozhi suddenly put on a strange expression, "In the beginning... I really didn't allow it."
At the back door of Prince Cheng's mansion, Du Ruozhi was stopped outside by two servants.
"My sister is in there. I want to see her. Why won't you let me in?" Du Ruozhi clutched the hem of her skirt and glared at the servant who blocked her way with red eyes.
The servant looked embarrassed. "Miss Du, I just told you at the main gate that no one outside the palace is allowed to enter without the permission of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Rules are dead, but people are alive." Du Ruozhi put her hands together and said, "Two big brothers, please be kind and let me in. I'll just take a look at my sister and then leave. I promise not to cause any trouble for you."
The servants looked at each other in confusion, and as they were hesitating, a light laugh suddenly came from the top of the wall.
"What a coincidence, Miss Du is here too." Wei Shan, dressed in emerald green, was leaning against the wall at some point, playing with a folding fan in his hand.
Du Ruozhi was frightened by the sudden sound and took a half step back. When she saw the person coming, she couldn't help but shrink like a quail, her face turned pale with fear.
"You...you you you...why are you here?" Her sister was not around, and she had sneaked out again this time, facing the wolf in sheep's clothing alone.
Wei Shan smiled gently, "Me? I, I, I... Of course I came here to play with my friends." Seeing beads of sweat on her forehead, he considerately opened his folding fan and fanned her.
Du Ruozhi stepped back suddenly, her back hitting the cold door.
Wei Shan raised an eyebrow at this, his folding fan snapping shut. "Why is Second Miss Du so afraid of me?" He swiftly leaped down from the wall, his emerald robes fluttering in the wind. "You want to go find your sister?"
This hit Du Ruozhi's point. Her eyes lit up obviously, but she still didn't dare to relax. "So what?"
The good friend he was talking about must be the Prince of Cheng, Li Siyu. He is not a good person, and Li Siyu is not a good person either.
"Wei can take you in." Wei Shan tapped his palm lightly with his folding fan, a sly look flashing in his eyes, "But..."
"But what?" Du Ruozhi took a half step back cautiously, her fingers quietly touching the pouch at her waist - which contained the Ecstasy Powder that An Nian gave her for self-defense.
Wei Shan curled his lips, and his handsome and elegant face suddenly became extremely charming. He leaned close to Du Ruozhi's ear and whispered a few words softly.
Du Ruozhi's pupils gradually dilated, and her level of surprise was no less than seeing a ghost in broad daylight, "You..."
Wei Shan raised his hand, made a gesture of silence, and nodded with a smile.
"...Deal." Du Ruozhi gritted her teeth and nodded.
Wei Shan waved his folding fan with satisfaction, then turned to the two servants and said, "Go and tell your prince that I have brought Miss Du Er to visit my sister."
"this……"
"What?" Wei Shan's smile remained unchanged, but a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. "Are you asking Li Siyu to come out in person before you let him go?"
The two servants looked at each other, not daring to stop them, and pushed the door open sideways to let the two in.
Du Ruozhi glanced at him suspiciously, lifted her skirt and stepped over the threshold. As soon as she entered the yard, she heard the sound of porcelain breaking from the inner courtyard.
"Sister!" Her heart tightened, and she rushed in without caring about etiquette. Wei Shan followed slowly behind, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes, and murmured softly: "The leader is bullying his wife again."
Du Huaizhi looked at the smiling Wei Shan behind Du Ruozhi, and her brows knitted unconsciously. She knew very well that Wei Shan was not a good person, but now Du Ruozhi had obviously reached some kind of deal with him.
Li Siyu walked over slowly, and when he saw Wei Shanshi, he raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "Brother Wei, you came at the right time. Did you calculate the time to come and watch the fun?" There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, but his eyes were fixed on Du Huaizhi's red eyes, and a trace of sourness inexplicably rose in his heart.
Wei Shan walked forward, fanning himself with his hand. His eyes swept over Du Huaizhi's disheveled appearance, and he jokingly asked, "What is your Highness doing? Could it be that you're tired of your wife after three years of hardship?"
Li Siyu's eyes suddenly darkened.
Du Huaizhi: “…”
"Sister, come back with me!" Du Ruozhi suddenly rushed forward and tightly grasped Du Huaizhi's hand. "I will protect you after we go back and will not let you be bullied by this person again."
