"Your Highness," Shen Weiwan burped, "They all said I was not worthy of you."
Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows: "What do you think?"
"I think..." Shen Weiwan tilted her head to look at him, the moonlight reflected in her eyes, "I think you've made a fortune! Where can you find a wife as good at cheating as me?"
Xiao Yu chuckled softly and reached out to ruffle her hair. "Yes, yes, I've made a fortune." He paused and looked at her seriously. "Weiwan, don't listen to their nonsense. In my heart, you are the best."
Shen Weiwan's heart suddenly jumped, as if she was hit by a candy cake, so sweet that she was panicking. She turned her face away: "Who, who asked you to praise..."
Xiao Yu, however, grabbed her shoulders, his eyes blazing. "Wei Wan, once the Emperor's decree grants the marriage, I will marry you with great fanfare. From now on, I will protect you, and you can continue to cheat your people, okay?"
Shen Weiwan looked at the seriousness in his eyes and suddenly felt a little sore in her nose. She sniffed and grinned, "Okay! But I still get 70% of the benefits of the pit!"
"It's up to you." Xiao Yu smiled helplessly and dotingly, "As long as you're happy, I'll give it all to you."
The noise of the banquet could be heard in the distance, but Shen Weiwan felt that the moonlight and the people around her at this moment were the most real. She stood on tiptoe, kissed Xiao Yu quickly on the cheek, and then ran away like a frightened rabbit: "I'm going to grab the last piece of plum blossom cake!"
Xiao Yu touched the kissed cheek, and the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be suppressed. He looked at Shen Weiwan's back as she ran away, and whispered: "Silly girl, what I want is never the benefit, but you."
When the banquet ended, Shen Weiwan sat in the carriage, holding a box full of candies given by Xiao Yu in her arms. Chun Tao looked at the smile on her young lady's lips and couldn't help asking: "Miss, are you really going to marry His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince?"
Chen Weiwan bit the sugar cake and said vaguely: "What else? Didn't you hear His Highness say that my cheating skills are the best in the world, and he likes this!"
Chun Tao laughed so hard she fell backwards. "Yes, yes, Miss is the best! But..." She leaned closer, "You just kissed His Highness, and your face is as red as a boiled shrimp!"
"Go away!" Shen Weiwan slapped her with a red face, but her heart was sweet.
The carriage passed through the streets of the capital, and the voices of the people could be heard outside the window:
"Have you heard? The Seventh Prince is going to marry that 'silly' daughter of the General's Mansion!"
"What? The one who would rub my aunt's hands?"
"That's right! I heard that the Seventh Prince likes her personality and says she's genuine and unpretentious!"
"Tsk tsk, it's really like the brine soaking tofu, one thing conquers another!"
Shen Weiwan couldn't help laughing when she heard these discussions. She lifted a corner of the curtain and saw the moon in the sky, which was big and round, like a sweet cake.
"Chun Tao," she suddenly said, "Tell me, if Your Highness and I work together to cheat people, will we turn the capital upside down?"
Chun Tao looked at her young lady's sparkling eyes and nodded vigorously: "Of course! Then we can wait and see those bad guys' faces turn green with anger!"
Shen Weiwan laughed heartily, leaning against the car wall, the sweet cake in her arms exuding a sweet aroma. In this life, she not only got her revenge, but also found someone who was willing to accompany her in "sand sculptures" and cheating others together. Just thinking about it made her feel that this life was sweeter than honey!
At this moment in the Seventh Prince's Mansion, Xiao Yu was looking at the place where Shen Weiwan had kissed him, with a smile on his face. The old housekeeper came in and reported: "Your Highness, there is news from the Emperor. He will issue an order to grant the marriage soon."
Xiao Yu nodded: "I understand. By the way, move all the Western Region honey in my warehouse to the General's Mansion, and tell Miss Shen that when she gets tired of cheating people in the future, she can soak her feet in honey to relieve her fatigue."
The old butler agreed with a smile, thinking to himself: Your Highness's way of doting on his wife is becoming more and more perfect.
Under the moonlight, the story of the capital continues. And the "treacherous" love story of Shen Weiwan and Xiao Yu has just begun. The entire capital is shocked that the "silly daughter of a legitimate wife" is trying to climb the Seventh Prince's high branch. Little do they know that this isn't a high branch at all, but rather two crooked trees, huddled together, just right to produce the sweetest fruit.
