Chapter 16 The Silly Fourth Prince
"ah!"
A scream ripped through the sky above the Prince Jin's mansion. Ye Wanning looked at the person lying on top of her, and... those groping hands! She blushed with shame and kicked the man in the crotch.
"ah……"
Ye Wanning got up, dusted herself off, and looked at the person writhing on the ground in pain with schadenfreude. "Serves you right! You pervert!"
"Ouch! Ouch!" The person on the ground cried out in pain. "Brother, what are you doing! We used to bathe together when we were little, don't you remember? What part of your body haven't I seen? I just touched your chest, you..." As he spoke, he suddenly realized something was wrong. Wait a minute, wasn't his brother a man? How could he have a chest? As if realizing something, he looked up in horror and immediately saw Ye Wanning standing in front of him, and Su Wenzhen behind her. "Ahhhhhh..."
"Who are you!"
"And who are you?!"
The man got up, glaring at Ye Wanning, "Tell me quickly, why did you impersonate my imperial brother!"
Su Wenzhen rubbed his forehead, feeling somewhat ashamed as he looked at the unreliable man before him. His fourth brother was becoming less and less like a prince.
Seeing that he was the one who accused her first, Ye Wanning couldn't help but get angry, "You were the one who pounced on me, didn't you? Are you blind?!"
"Can't you even move away when you see me, the prince?! The servants in the palace are becoming more and more unruly!"
A prince? Ye Wanning was taken aback. She looked at Su Wenzhen and then at the person in front of her. They did look somewhat alike. Could he be...? Ye Wanning frowned but remained silent.
"Hmph! What's wrong! Scared now!" The man looked at Ye Wanning smugly. "I am Su Wenyan, the fourth prince of Chu!"
Ye Wanning raised an eyebrow, looking at him with interest. "Oh...so you're the Fourth Prince. It's true what they say, seeing is believing!"
Upon hearing this, Su Wenyan looked at Ye Wanning and asked, "You know me?"
"Who in the world doesn't know the Fourth Prince?" Ye Wanning smiled.
Seeing Su Wenyan's curious expression, Su Wenzhen felt somewhat helpless. This fourth brother was really getting worse and worse; he couldn't even catch such obvious sarcasm. Just as he was about to try to smooth things over by acting cute, he suddenly caught sight of Su Wenyan's hands, and a surge of anger welled up inside him. Those hands... he hadn't even touched them! And this kid had actually touched them! He glared at Su Wenyan. Serves him right!
A chill ran down his spine, and Su Wenyan shivered involuntarily. He looked around, puzzled. The room wasn't cold; why had it felt so cold just now? He kept thinking about Ye Wanning's words and then asked, "Then tell me, how come everyone in the world knows me?"
Ye Wanning pursed her lips, too lazy to talk to someone with such low intelligence. She turned her head and pulled Su Wenzhen's hand, "Wenzhen, let's go, Butler Li and the others must be getting impatient."
Seeing that Ye Wanning was ignoring him, Su Wenyan became anxious. He grabbed Su Wenzhen and said, "If you're not going to answer me, why are you pulling my brother? Who are you?!"
Ye Wanning looked at Su Wenyan, her brows furrowed slightly. After a long while, she replied, "I am your second sister-in-law!"
"What, Second Imperial Sister-in-Law? I could..." Su Wenyan exclaimed in surprise, "You're my Second Imperial Sister-in-Law?"
After waiting for a while, seeing that Ye Wanning hadn't come over yet, Cui'er became a little anxious. Just as she was about to go in and call her, she suddenly saw Ye Wanning leading Su Wenzhen in a hurry. She was taken aback, "Your Highness, we've been waiting for you for so long, why are you only coming now?"
Panting, Ye Wanning climbed onto the carriage. "Hurry up!"
"ah?"
"Royal sister-in-law, wait for me! Wait for me! I want to go with you!"
Cui'er looked towards the source of the sound and saw a handsome man with a face like a peach blossom... very flamboyant... running towards them. The reason she said he was flamboyant was... Cui'er saw that the man was dressed in red, and couldn't help but swallow hard. What kind of man would run around in the street wearing red?
Upon hearing this sound, Ye Wanning stumbled. It was over; she couldn't escape!
Ye Wanning sat in the carriage with her eyes closed, trying to rest. Some people are better left unseen.
Because of Ye Wanning's temper, Su Wenzhen didn't dare to say anything. He just sat obediently next to Ye Wanning, thinking that it was better to be a good boy. He thought to himself that he couldn't afford to offend his wife's temper.
The carriage was quiet, but naturally some people couldn't stay still. Su Wenyan looked left and right, glancing at Su Wenzhen and then at Ye Wanning. Seeing his elder brother's obedient appearance, he seemed to be deep in thought. After a while, he asked with darting eyes, "Which family's daughter is Second Sister-in-law?"
Ye Wanning closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep, and automatically ignored Su Wenyan's words. Su Wenzhen looked at the person next to him, and seeing that she didn't want to talk, he didn't know what to say either. He quietly nestled to the side, pretending not to have heard his words.
Upon seeing Su Wenzhen's appearance, Su Wenyan was initially taken aback, but then secretly chuckled to himself. So it turned out his elder brother was henpecked; things were getting interesting. "Ahem," he coughed lightly a few times, "Is Second Sister-in-law asleep?"
Ye Wanning still ignored him. Su Wenyan knew that his actions had angered his second sister-in-law, and she wouldn't listen to him if he spoke again. He didn't feel particularly embarrassed and turned to Su Wenzhen to speak. "Brother, brother, it's been so long since we last met, have you missed me?"
Su Wenzhen glanced at him, then looked at Ye Wanning, weighed the options, and decided that his wife was more important. He glared at Su Wenyan and ignored him.
Seeing his elder brother completely ignoring him for the sake of his sister-in-law, Su Wenyan felt wronged. After all these years, he only now realized that his brother was a womanizer who valued women over friends. "You're heartless, so I'll be heartless too!" Thinking this, Su Wenyan wailed, "Brother, you've really let me down! Since we parted years ago, you've been the only one I've thought of! Now that I'm finally back in the capital, the first thing I thought of was coming to the Prince of Jin's residence to find you, but you're ignoring me! You're ignoring me! How am I supposed to live like this! I feel like all these years have been for nothing!"
Ye Wanning ultimately wanted to avoid seeing him, but Su Wenyan was just too much...
"Brother, how could you do this to me..."
"Stop yelling!" Ye Wanning couldn't take it anymore and shouted, "Are you done yet! Your brother isn't dead! What are you yelling about!"
Startled by Ye Wanning's shout, Su Wenyan swallowed the words he was about to say. He secretly wiped away his tears. "Sister-in-law, you're so fierce!" He sat down beside her, looking at Ye Wanning timidly, "Sister-in-law... I... I... I..."
"What do you mean, 'you'!" Ye Wanning frowned at him, but was afraid that she would frighten Su Wenzhen by being too fierce, so she turned her head away with some concern. She found that Su Wenzhen was laughing loudly, and couldn't help but wonder what he was laughing at.
Seeing Ye Wanning's puzzled look, Su Wenzhen quickly stopped smiling and looked at her pitifully, "Wife, I..."
What are you laughing at?
"I'm laughing..." Who told him to touch you like that? He deserved it! Thinking this to himself, Su Wenzhen didn't dare to say it. He looked at Ye Wanning with a grin and said, "Wife, look at him. His face is all scrunched up like a chrysanthemum. He's so ugly."
Hearing this, Su Wenyan yelled, "You're the ugly one! Your whole family is ugly!" What kind of brother is this?! He actually called his own brother ugly! Then he realized something was off. Wasn't saying Su Wenzhen's whole family ugly also implying he was ugly? He turned his head and saw Ye Wanning looking at him strangely. He shrank back, deciding it was best to stay quiet...
