Xiao Yu looked down at Shen Weiwan, who was still struggling in his arms. Her hair was scattered and stuck to her cheeks, and her eyes were shining with tears because of her laughter and struggle. He couldn't help but lean over and try to shut up her chattering mouth. Just when their lips were about to touch, Shen Weiwan suddenly shouted: "Wait! Our ancestors said that the 'seduction trap' must be used with laxatives to make the enemy... Ugh!"
Xiao Yu froze, the veins on his forehead throbbing, but he couldn't help it and bit her lips fiercely: "Chen Weiwan!"
"I'm just kidding," Shen Weiwan smiled slyly, put her arms around his neck, and gently stroked the back of his neck with her fingertips, "Your Highness, don't be jealous. That broken book is not as important as you. Look, it won't warm my bed, it won't peel chestnuts for me, and it won't..."
"That's better." Xiao Yu snorted, but the depression in his heart was mostly relieved. "Accompany me to the horse farm tomorrow, and stop studying your crappy book."
"No," Chen Weiwan immediately said with a bitter face, "I have an appointment with Chuntao. Tomorrow we will go to the horse farm outside the city to test the 'fake horse manure'. It is made with soybean powder and wood ash. It is said that it can be mistaken for the real thing..."
"Enough!" Xiao Yu couldn't bear to listen any longer and directly lowered his head to block her mouth, not giving her a chance to speak this time. Shen Weiwan wanted to struggle at first, but soon her body softened, and the "Memoirs of My Ancestors" in her hand fell to the soft couch with a "clack".
After a long time, Xiao Yu finally let her go. He looked at her flushed cheeks and slightly swollen lips, and raised his eyebrows in satisfaction. But Shen Weiwan suddenly laughed out loud, and blew a sweet breath into his ear: "The ancestors said that the 'honey trap' is most effective for the sweetheart, and it's true..."
Xiao Yu felt his whole body soften and sighed helplessly: "You, there's really nothing I can do about you."
At that moment, Kengkeng and Wawa banged open the door, their faces filled with mischievous excitement: "Mom! Dad! We poured soybean powder into Dad's quilt! It's a thick layer!"
Xiao Yu: "..." He suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of his bedroom, then looked at Shen Weiwan's face who was trying hard to suppress a smile, and finally understood - in this family, his status as the seventh prince was probably really not as good as a cheating book.
That night, Xiao Yu lay in a blanket covered in soybean powder, making a rustling sound as he turned, as if he were sleeping on a golden beach. Beside him, Shen Weiwan slept soundly, clutching the book "Memoirs of a Swindling Ancestor" in her arms. A satisfied smile played on her face, as if she had dreamed of some clever trick to deceive others.
Xiao Yu turned sideways, looked at her sleeping face in the moonlight outside the window, and shook his head helplessly. But seeing the corners of her mouth slightly raised in happiness, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his own lips.
"Wife," Xiao Yu leaned in closer and whispered in her ear, "Will you teach me a couple of tricks tomorrow? I'll help you cheat people in the future. I guarantee it'll be more useful than that crappy book."
Shen Weiwan opened her eyes dazedly, and when she saw Xiao Yu's face so close to her, she was stunned for a moment, then smiled in surprise, her eyes shining like stars: "Really? Your Highness, you are so kind! I knew you were the best!"
Moonlight streamed in through the window lattice, illuminating the scattered soybean powder on the soft couch and the two people's smiles at each other. Chen Weiwan knew that with a prince husband willing to accompany her in her sleight of hand and deception, the road ahead would surely be more interesting and full of surprises than any secret manual. And Xiao Yu finally realized that perhaps joining his wife's "deception business" was the best "tactic" to keep her heart - after all, who made him willingly become the happiest "victim" in this deceptive family?
