Song Yaozhu's eyes instantly turned red. Just as he said, those were his father, brothers, and clan elders, who had nothing to do with Song Yaozhu in this body anymore!
"If Your Highness divorces me, then I will have nothing to do with you!" She angrily reached out to lift the curtain, but Xie Liwei grabbed her back.
"Qin Yu, return to the manor!"
Upon hearing the sound, Qin Yu, who was outside the carriage, immediately spurred the carriage forward.
Song Yaozhu glared at him angrily, forcing back her tears. Her heart ached terribly.
Her only wish in this life was to protect her family members and keep them safe, but Xie Liwei took them into danger!
"You think you've got everything planned out, but what if! What if Yuwen Wuji really wants the Xie family dead! What will you use to save them! Do you even know what kind of person Yuwen Wuji is? How dare you do this!" Song Yaozhu wasn't satisfied with just cursing him, so she went and punched him.
Xie Liwei didn't expect her to be so strong. She punched him in the chest, and the pain almost made him howl.
"Enough!" He was hit three or four times in a row. It hurt, but didn't he have any pride?
He reached out and grabbed Song Yaozhu's restless hands. Song Yaozhu tried to move her legs, so Xie Liwei had no choice but to roll over and pin her against the car wall to calm her down.
Qin Yu, who was driving the carriage outside, heard a "thump" from inside and the carriage shook violently twice. He shrank his neck, thinking to himself, "The prince and princess are truly enjoying their honeymoon after a short separation!"
The carriage arrived at the Prince's residence and entered through the back gate. When it stopped, the servants saw the Prince carrying the Princess out of the carriage.
Song Yaozhu's hands and feet were tied with his belt, and she was so angry that she bit his shoulder.
Xie Liwei hissed, "If you bite again, I'll bite your mouth."
Song Yaozhu awkwardly withdrew the force from her teeth, kicking her legs in anger.
Ugh, you brat! How did she raise such a thing?!
Upon arriving at Biluo Courtyard, Xie Liwei placed her on the bed and instructed, "The Princess Consort is not allowed to leave the residence for the next few days!"
Before Xie Liwei could leave, Song Yaozhu kicked him in the butt, causing him to stumble and almost fall to the ground. Fortunately, he had a stable stance and didn't embarrass himself.
"Song Yaozhu! Don't go too far!"
He flung the hair ribbon that had fallen across his chest behind him and angrily berated her. This was outrageous! Hitting him when no one else was watching was one thing, but how could she lay a hand on him in front of the servants!
He's a prince, after all. If he loses his dignity as a master in front of his servants, how will he manage them in the future?
"I want to go back to Tingxue Academy."
"No, there are no beds available at Tingxue Courtyard right now."
Where's the bed?
Peng Si slept with me, and he had the bed dismantled; the new bed hasn't even been made yet.
"The yard was gnawed by ants, and now we've sprayed ant repellent all over the place."
Song Yaozhu looked at him and snorted coldly, "I have to go back to the Song family. Don't delay my business."
"No, and don't delay my business."
Song Yaozhu bared her teeth at him in anger, wishing she had bitten his neck earlier and killed him!
Even though Xie Liwei forbade her from leaving the room, Qin Mama still led the maids to serve her. In the evening, Caijin and Caiyin also returned and said respectfully, "Your Highness, we waited outside the palace gates all day before the Imperial Concubine's people finally brought your letter in."
"Just take it in. Did the Song family say anything?"
"I told you that you had been guarding the palace gate all day and had a high fever. I was afraid that you would pass it on to the First Madam, so I went back to the Prince's Mansion to rest."
Song Yaozhu praised her for being clever, and then said, "Prepare some wine and dishes, and say that I want to apologize to the Prince today and invite him over for a meal."
She needed to find out Xie Liwei's plan. Although she knew Xie Liwei had a way to advance or retreat, she still needed to have a backup plan to prevent anything from happening to the Xie family.
That evening, Xie Liwei arrived, but judging from his tightly pursed lips, his complexion was certainly not good.
He was probably still angry with her. After all, it was really embarrassing for a person of such high status to be kicked so badly by a woman in front of the servants.
Song Yaozhu dismissed the servants and poured Xie Liwei a cup of wine with a gentle smile. "Is Your Highness still angry with me? I know I was wrong. I will punish myself with a cup of wine."
When Xie Liwei saw her cunning eyes, he knew she was up to no good and wanted to find out his plans from him.
It's not that I can't tell her, but the way she tries so hard to get the information out of herself is kind of cute.
I'll just put on an act first, then casually mention some of my plans to cheer her up, so she won't worry about the Xie family.
Look at the way she's acting today, it's like she wants to fight him to the death.
Xie Liwei raised an eyebrow as he watched her down the wine in one gulp.
"Punish yourself with a drink?"
Song Yaozhu gritted her teeth and poured herself two more cups. "I will punish myself with three cups."
After saying that, she finished the two glasses of wine. The fiery liquor burned her face instantly, making her even more beautiful in the lamplight.
Xie Liwei raised his hand and poured her a glass of wine, pushing it towards her. "We agreed on three glasses."
Song Yaozhu opened her eyes wide. So "self-punishment of one cup" and "self-punishment of three cups" are separate, and it adds up to four cups, right?
Fine, she'll just have to put up with it!
After another glass of wine, Song Yaozhu felt a little dizzy.
I used to be able to drink a lot without getting drunk, but I didn't expect this body to be like that. I only had four cups, and I'm already starting to feel tipsy.
She still remembered her purpose for today, poured a glass of wine and presented it to Xie Liwei, "Your Highness, I have already drunk four cups."
Xie Liwei remained silent. Seeing that he didn't move, Song Yaozhu brought the wine cup closer to his lips. Only then did Xie Liwei reluctantly lower his head and drink the wine from her hand.
Song Yaozhu was furious. "You brat, how come you know how to enjoy yourself so much now!"
"A beauty seen under the lamp is ten times more beautiful than in broad daylight. This is indeed true." Xie Liwei rested his chin on his hand, his eyes filled with amusement as he looked at Song Yaozhu. "The Princess Consort is truly just like my elder sister."
Song Yaozhu's back stiffened, her heart pounding. If even Lord Yu could recognize her, she feared Xie Liwei could too. Especially after all the "foolish things" she had done.
Just thinking about how Xie Liwei would recognize her made her shudder with embarrassment, and she wished she could immediately report to the King of Hell!
How shameful it is to address your own brother as "this concubine"!
Xie Liwei better not recognize her even in death!
"I know what you want to know from me. So, tonight you will pretend to be my elder sister and make me happy, and then I will tell you my plan."
Song Yaozhu gripped the wine glass so tightly that her fingertips turned white. "You little brat, do you like to play pretend?"
"What does Your Highness wish me to do?"
Xie Liwei then took out two more wine cups and placed them in front of Song Yaozhu, saying, "From now on, call me Ali, and I will call you Sister."
He filled the three wine glasses in front of Song Yaozhu with wine. "My elder sister is known for her ability to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. Every time she drinks with me, she drinks three cups and I drink one. You are the same."
Song Yaozhu: "......"
She dug her own grave!
Half an hour later, Song Yaozhu collapsed drunk on the table, muttering, "Ali... Sister can't drink anymore..."
Xie Liwei rested his chin on his hand and looked at her. She was resting her head on her arms, her face flushed, and her red lips were slightly parted, making her look as cute as a sleeping rabbit.
Xie Liwei's thin lips curled up as he stared at her for a while before getting up and carrying her to the bed.
After covering her with the brocade quilt, Xie Liwei couldn't help but touch her feverish cheeks.
His fingertips traced the smooth skin before finally landing on her red lips.
Xie Liwei hesitated for a moment, then withdrew his hand and tucked the blanket around her.
"Sister, sleep well."
