Xie Yuancheng squeezed my hand, his expression seeming to say that I had been flirting with girls for no reason, and now I know what's going to happen to me.
I squeezed his hand. "You stingy husband~"
Xie Yuancheng came over and pinched my face. I let go and dodged. Luckily, I reacted quickly, or my face would have been in trouble.
Changze walked for a while before stopping, and the four of us sat around a stone table. Xie Yuancheng began to 'complain,' fabricating a big lie that he and I had been in love since childhood.
I felt like I was getting goosebumps, but these two siblings were actually moved!
"Yuan Cheng, is what you're saying true?"
"Yes, that's why I refused Chequ's marriage proposal back then, it was for Ying'er's sake."
"What a loving couple! No wonder Caiwei chose you to be her husband. But since you two already like each other, why can't you just be together? Why pretend to be husband and wife?"
Cailu was also waiting on the side with her hands clenched. Xie Yuancheng started to pull out all the stops again, making up a lot of lies that didn't exist. He insisted that my relationship with him was a natural progression and that he had done a lot of things to wait for me.
Only after being forced to jump off a cliff could I find relief, like now, peacefully holding hands together, and so on.
I was truly impressed by his eloquence. No wonder so many people around him are like this guy; he's incredibly good at making things up. Luckily, he was sincere towards me. The gap between us is enormous; I was completely fooled without even realizing it.
Every time, my mother misunderstands and thinks I made Xie Yuancheng wear a green hat. It's something he could have controlled, so why make me take the blame? It turns out it's just to make my mother feel sorry for him!
Hmph! What a scheming little man!
Cailu saw me crying, and I quickly handed her a handkerchief. I never used to carry something like that.
"Waaah! You're so heartless! What does it matter if you're a boy or a girl? I just love you!"
Cailu lay on the table crying. Xie Yuancheng glared at me with a sharp look. I was so wronged! I was just handing him a handkerchief!
“Princess, Ying’er has already given me three children, so you should find another husband. I can’t leave her.”
Xie Yuancheng's tone was still smooth, but I knew he was unhappy inside. That's why he's called a little man; he remembers even the smallest things.
"Get away from me. It was all your trickery. Otherwise, why would she willingly stay with you?"
Worried that Xie Yuancheng was in the wrong, I took the initiative to kiss him on the lips: "Princess, Yuancheng and I are sincere and there is no falsehood between us. Including our marriage in Linyang, everything is in accordance with the marriage agreement, and he has suffered a lot of grievances for me."
"I can do it too, don't think he's the only one who can."
“But,” I said, holding Xie Yuancheng’s fingers, “I only like him. No matter how capable someone is, I won’t like them.”
Cailu stormed off in a huff, and I sat on the stool, unable to sit still.
“That’s just how my sister is, she’s very stubborn, please don’t mind her.” Changze began to get to the point: “It’s just that Caiwei isn’t with you, she also married you with great pomp and circumstance.”
“Your Highness, Caiwei is not marrying me, but the Second Prince. I am just an excuse for her to arrange the marriage.”
"What!" Changze slammed his fists on the stone table. "The Second Prince is our Chequ's enemy! She's confused!"
“I didn’t agree at first, but the Second Prince was deeply in love with Caiwei, and they had been together before.”
“No, the Second Prince was using her, not liking her.” Changze sighed: “When the Second Prince came after you, he was not yet married, and Caiwei liked him very much. She insisted on being with him despite her father’s objections.”
I never expected Caiwei to be so brave. This kind of thing can only happen in 2020. I was able to be with Xie Yuancheng because Xie Yuancheng cleared many obstacles for me. Caiwei just rushed forward without thinking.
"However, I think the Second Prince is definitely not a good person. When he was in Chequ, he always asked Caiwei to find a lot of documents from Chequ and Dazhao. He has a lot of ambition."
"The royal family members are all very ambitious. If he weren't, he would be eliminated."
Xie Yuancheng spoke casually, indicating that he had long since taken these matters lightly.
"But it was wrong of him to use Caiwei. Caiwei was also stupid. The Second Prince was just the type of man she liked, so she didn't care about anything else and insisted on following him."
"I remember the Second Prince also proposed to you back then, but you didn't agree?"
“Yes.” Changze’s face was filled with resentment: “He’s not going to marry Caiwei, he’s going to marry someone else.”
"Chequ only has two princesses, and no other princesses?" Xie Yuancheng was also surprised, as he knew Chequ quite well.
"There was another one. She was exceptionally beautiful and had the military power of her grandfather who lived beyond the Great Wall. If he had asked for Caiwei instead, I could have persuaded my father to agree."
"Does Caiwei know about this?"
Changze shook his head: "I don't know. The news was suppressed at the time. When she asked for permission to marry you, I thought it would be good to stop her from marrying the Second Prince. Who knew that I would still push her into the fire pit."
Xie Yuancheng, standing nearby, advised, "Your Highness, perhaps the Second Prince truly loves Caiwei. Aren't you being too pessimistic?"
“I have serious doubts about that. If he had directly asked for Caiwei’s hand in marriage, I wouldn’t have thought this way. He married an illegitimate princess. Although her name is on the imperial register, she wields considerable military power.”
“When I was fighting in Sizhou City, the Second Prince sent troops to search my mansion in Linyang. At that time, a wet nurse died.”
"He actually dared to search your Marquis Anle's residence; he has no manners at all."
"His reason at the time was for Caiwei, and perhaps there was affection between them."
Changze fell silent; he was probably considering it. But I was more inclined to believe Changze's reasoning. Perhaps he had met Caiwei once; she was gentle and not the kind of girl who would cause trouble.
Many girls are willing to do a lot for a man just because of his sweet words.
"Your Highness, why don't you investigate that princess who is hiding her identity? If she is secretly contacting the Second Prince through Caiwei, then we'll know whether the Second Prince is sincere or not."
Since the Second Prince wants to marry that princess, it means this girl is very important. Investigating her will make things clear!
"Ying'er~" Xie Yuancheng was a little unhappy, but I was only thinking of Caiwei. A girl's lifespan is short, and she shouldn't be treated like this.
“Yuancheng, your wife is right. I’ll go back and investigate. I should be able to find some information.”
“Your Highness, my wife has been mischievous since childhood. If we investigate her as a princess in hiding, it would be easy to alert the enemy.”
The wind was cold around Xie Yuancheng, and I hugged his arm to keep warm. This man was so cold. I've been married to him for more than two years, and I still can't figure him out.
"What should we do? I'm completely lost." Changze was also in a state of confusion; he was genuinely concerned for Caiwei.
