Chapter 3 The Foolish Prince
Inside the main hall of the Prime Minister's residence.
"My wife, my wife, where is my wife!" A handsome man cried and shouted, sitting on the ground and refusing to get up. The servants around him tried their best to pull him up and kept comforting him, but he still did not give them any face.
When Ye Wanning arrived at the main hall, this was the scene she saw. It was incredibly chaotic... She quickly walked up to Ye Qingyuan and Luo Meiyu and bowed, "Father, Aunt."
"Alright, alright." Ye Qingyuan frowned. "Go and check on Prince Jin."
"Yes." Ye Wanning nodded and walked towards the man sitting on the ground.
Seeing a stranger approaching, the man became somewhat frightened. "Who are you! I want my wife!"
Ye Wanning smiled and said, "I am your wife!" She then extended her hand in a gesture of friendliness.
The man paused, staring blankly at her. "Really...?"
"Yes." Ye Wanning looked at him. He was a handsome and well-proportioned boy with delicate features. How could he be an idiot? It's such a pity that such a good-looking face was wasted. Thinking of this, Ye Wanning couldn't help but look at him with some pity. "The ground is cold. Shall we get up?"
The man pursed his lips and muttered, "Since you're my wife... fine, I'll listen to you." With that, the man slowly got up.
Ye Wanning pursed her lips and chuckled to herself. He was quite easy to coax. In her previous life, she had been a homebody for nearly twenty years, spending her days either at school or at home, which later evolved into working at home. Ye Wanning's circle of friends was very small. Since her circle was small, it was rare to meet the right person, so she had never been in a relationship. Her biggest hobby was raising pets. Seeing this adorable, silly prince now reminded her of the cute pets she used to have, and she felt a little nostalgic. Suddenly, she felt a bit more affection for him.
"My wife, what are you thinking about?"
Ye Wanning came to her senses. There were hardly any people left in the main hall. Ye Qingyuan probably dismissed everyone after seeing that things were resolved. She looked at the man, who was looking at her pitifully. She couldn't help but feel a surge of maternal love. "It's nothing. By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Ye Wanning. What's your name?"
The man pouted, "My wife doesn't even know my name, how sad." Then he looked at Ye Wanning pitifully, "My name is... my name is Su Wenzhen."
"Su Wenzhen... Well, Wenzhen then." Ye Wanning smiled, revealing a few pearly white teeth. "What are you doing here?"
Su Wenzhen blinked. "Everyone says I'm getting married, but I don't know what marriage is. So I asked the nanny, and she said marriage means I'll have a wife. Having a wife means I'll have someone to play with. Before, no one in the manor played with me, so... so..." He looked timidly at Ye Wanning. "So I wanted to see what my wife is like... whether she can play with me." He pouted and said somewhat defiantly, "If my wife can't play with me, then I won't get married."
Ye Wanning sighed. He became mentally challenged due to an accident when he was very young, and he must have suffered a lot over the years. Thinking of this, Ye Wanning couldn't help but feel sorry for him. "And now?"
"I've discovered that my wife is actually quite nice. Before, I thought she was another sister, who was so fierce and gave me quite a fright," Su Wenzhen said, tugging at the hem of her clothes with a hint of complaint.
Big sister? Ye Wanning's eyes darkened. It must be Ye Wanyi. This woman is getting bolder and bolder. She was only given a warning, but she didn't know how to restrain herself and started bullying her again. At this moment, Ye Wanning did not realize that she had already put this person in her heart after only meeting him for the first time.
"Wife... what's wrong..." Seeing that Ye Wanning hadn't spoken for a long time, Su Wenzhen looked at her with some confusion.
"Ah? It's nothing." Ye Wanning smiled and looked at Cui'er beside her. "Where is the Second Miss?"
"When I came over, I saw the Second Miss feeding the fish by the pond in the garden."
"Very good," Ye Wanning smiled, turning to Su Wenzhen, "Come on, let's go fishing!"
"Catch fish?" Su Wenzhen looked at Ye Wanning, somewhat puzzled. "Catch what kind of fish?"
Ye Wanning smiled mysteriously, "Of course, it's fish that look good but don't taste good. Those fish that are only good for decoration are not suitable for keeping in the fish pond at all!"
When Ye Wanning arrived at the garden, Ye Wanyi was talking about Su Wenzhen with her close servants.
“That idiot actually mistook me for the third brother, grabbing my hand and calling me ‘wife! wife!’” Ye Wanyi threw a handful of feed into the pool and said with a smile, “You have no idea, I was really scared to death at the time. That idiot was really strong, no matter how I shook him, he wouldn’t let go.”
“How big is it? If it frightened your sister, Wan Ning apologizes on his behalf.”
Ye Wanyi's smile froze on her face. She turned to look at Ye Wanning, who had suddenly appeared behind her. "Sister, what brings you here?"
"I came here to comfort you after hearing that you were frightened, sister." Ye Wanning smiled, her gaze sweeping over the others present. "So many people care about you, sister. It seems Wanning was worried for nothing."
"That's true." Ye Wanyi smiled, "We're all family. My sister is worried about me for my own good. There's no reason for her to worry for nothing."
Su Wenzhen, who was hiding behind Ye Wanyi, was trembling, probably still recovering from being bullied by Ye Wanyi earlier. Ye Wanning frowned. This "older sister" of hers was really too much, even bullying a fool!
Seeing that Ye Wanning remained silent, Ye Wanyi smiled. Then, noticing Su Wenzhen shivering behind her, she pressed her advantage and said, "What's wrong with the prince? He's been shivering. Could he have caught a cold? Sister, you must take good care of him! The wedding is approaching, so it's best if nothing goes wrong!"
Seeing Ye Wanyi's smug look, Ye Wanning was a little angry. This woman was really getting more and more out of line. "Don't call me 'sister' so affectionately. I don't know you." Ye Wanning frowned. "Also, don't think I didn't hear what you just said. This is Prince Jin. I hope you can understand your own identity and stop calling me an idiot."
"Oh ho." Ye Wanyi smiled. "You're not even married yet, and you're already standing up for your husband's family. Aren't you ashamed?"
"It's better than my sister. She doesn't eat what's in her own bowl, but she's eyeing what's in someone else's pot." Ye Wanning teased her, "She's probably forgotten how to spell the word 'shame'."
Ye Wanyi blushed. "Ye Wanning! Don't spout nonsense! Do you really think I can't handle you?"
"I'm not sick," Ye Wanning sneered. "You're the one who's sick, sister. You should treat yourself."
“Yes! Hurry up and heal yourself!” Su Wenzhen cautiously echoed, following behind Ye Wanning.
Ye Wanning was taken aback and turned to look at Su Wenzhen. Was this kid really stupid or just pretending? How could he stand up for her? But as soon as she saw his innocent eyes, Ye Wanning's suspicions vanished. She sighed softly. Sure enough, sometimes appearances determine everything. If a burly, rough man had looked at her like that, she probably would have thrown up immediately, let alone doubted him.
Ye Wanyi was speechless for a moment after being stunned by Ye Wanning's words. She glared at her angrily, unable to utter a single word.
"Sister, don't be angry. You'll only hurt yourself if you get upset, and then people will say that Wenzhen and I bullied you." Ye Wanning raised an eyebrow. "I'm getting hungry after playing with you for so long. Come on, Wenzhen, your wife will take you to get something good to eat!"
"Okay!"
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Ye Wanyi clenched her fist. Ye Wanning! You just wait!
