Chapter 83 I'm sorry
"Who's there!" Hearing the noise outside the door, the two people inside tensed up and rushed forward.
“Wan Ning…” Su Wenzhen looked at Ye Wan Ning, who was standing there in a daze, with shards of a teapot and water stains scattered at her feet. He immediately understood what was happening and slowly walked forward. “Wan Ning, I…”
"It's nothing!" Ye Wanning felt a little flustered. Her head was still spinning, and she was a bit confused. What had she just heard? Su Wenzhen was pretending to be stupid? So he was never a fool after all? She squatted down and forced a smile. "You guys continue. I didn't hear anything. I was just tripped over the threshold."
As she spoke, Ye Wanning bent down and picked up the broken pieces from the ground.
"Wan Ning..." Seeing Ye Wan Ning like this, Su Wenzhen felt a pang of sadness. He frowned and grabbed Ye Wan Ning's hand. "Don't do that, you'll get scratched."
"Ah!" Ye Wanning was a little dazed. Su Wenzhen pulled her suddenly, and she lost her balance and fell forward. Her right hand instinctively pressed down on the broken pieces of the ground, and the pain almost brought tears to her eyes.
Su Wenzhen was startled and quickly pulled Ye Wanning up. He held her right hand, his brows furrowed with anxiety, "Are you alright?"
"It's nothing." Ye Wanning abruptly pulled her right hand back, only then noticing a cut on her palm, blood gushing out, a shocking sight.
Ye Wanning bit her lip, but didn't look at Su Wenzhen. "I'll go back and treat my wound first. You two continue your talk." After saying that, she turned and left the study without waiting for Su Wenzhen's reply.
"Sigh..." Looking at Ye Wanning's back, Su Wenzhen sighed softly. He frowned, turned his head, and found Jiang Hai looking at him apologetically.
“Your Highness,” Jiang Hai lowered his head, “just now…”
"It's nothing." Su Wenzhen waved his hand, feeling a little uneasy.
"This matter shouldn't be discussed in the manor, I..."
"What does this have to do with you?" Su Wenzhen frowned. "General Wen, this matter also happened suddenly. Besides, no one knew that Wan Ning would come so suddenly." As he spoke, Su Wenzhen sighed, looking into the distance with a somewhat vacant gaze. "She will find out about this sooner or later, but it's so sudden. I'm afraid she won't be able to accept it right away!"
When Ye Wanning returned to the house, she seemed somewhat lost and dejected.
"Sister?" Seeing Ye Wanning's sudden change, Cui'er was taken aback. Why did she suddenly return? Turning her head, she noticed blood dripping from Ye Wanning's right hand and was startled. "Sister, what happened to your right hand?"
"Hmm?" Ye Wanning stared at her right hand, startled. The dull pain suddenly came, but... why didn't it hurt as much? She only felt a bitter taste in her mouth. She frowned and looked at Cui'er calmly, "Help me bandage it."
Cui'er nodded, took some water and medicine, and came over. Judging from the fact that the cut hadn't been treated, the wound had already scabbed over, and some tiny shards of glass were faintly visible on her palm. Cui'er felt a pang of heartache, and her voice was muffled, "How did delivering tea turn into this?" Cui'er's tone was full of reproach, "Doesn't the Prince take care of you?"
Ye Wanning stiffened, then turned around and looked at Cui'er with a deep gaze, "Don't mention him to me again."
Cui'er was taken aback. Seeing Ye Wanning's expression, she guessed that the two of them had probably quarreled again...
Cui'er sighed, looked at Ye Wanning, and tentatively asked in a low voice, "Sister, you and the Prince..."
"I told you not to mention him!" Ye Wanning shouted, feeling annoyed. She pulled her right hand out of Cui'er's grasp, clenched her fist, and slammed it hard on the table.
"Alright, alright, I won't mention it anymore!" Cui'er said anxiously. She pulled Ye Wanning's right hand, looked at her with a worried expression, "Sister, let go of your hand, don't touch the wound. Let me bandage it for you first. I won't mention it anymore, I won't mention it anymore."
A piercing pain shot through Ye Wanning's right palm. She let out a soft groan, released her hand, and slumped onto the table, her mind still a complete mess. Pretending to be stupid? But why was she angry about him pretending? Ye Wanning frowned. Yes, what was she angry about?
Ye Wanning sighed, turned her head and saw Cui'er anxiously treating her wound. Seeing the girl's furrowed brows, Ye Wanning found it somewhat amusing. She smiled at Cui'er, sighed again, hesitated for a while, and then asked, "Cui'er, can I ask you something?"
"Huh?" Cui'er looked up at Ye Wanning with a blank expression. "Sister, what's wrong?"
"It's just..." Ye Wanning bit her lip, looking at Cui'er with a strange look in her eyes, "If... you found out that someone very important to you has been lying to you all along, what would you do?"
"Huh?" Cui'er looked at Ye Wanning with some confusion. "Sister, what do you mean by this?"
“It’s just…” Ye Wanning frowned. She thought for a moment and asked, “If… you find out that I’m not your sister… what will you do?”
"Pfft!" Cui'er chuckled, looking at Ye Wanning with a helpless expression. "Sister, what are you talking about? How could you not be my sister?" As she spoke, she tied a knot in the bandage in her hand. "All done!" She smiled at Ye Wanning. "Could there be two sisters in this world?"
“That’s not what I meant.” Ye Wanning shook her head and said, “What I meant was, maybe… since that incident… I’m not myself anymore?”
Cui'er was taken aback, staring at Ye Wanning for a long while before smiling and saying, "I don't know what you mean, sister, but..." Cui'er pursed her lips, "I only know that since then, you have been very good to me, and you even took me as your sister, helping me with everything." As she spoke, Cui'er said with a firm expression, "So, you will always be my sister, even if you lied to me, you are still my sister."
Ye Wanning was taken aback, looking at Cui'er with a strange sense of emotion. Since coming into this world, she had experienced many ups and downs, but having someone so devoted to her was enough. Ye Wanning sighed softly. However, she feared she would never see her mistress again in this lifetime. But Ye Wanning pursed her lips, knowing that she was her sister and would definitely treat her well.
Lost in thought, she heard Cui'er's voice, "Sister, the Prince is here."
Ye Wanning was startled and came to her senses, but she only felt a little dizzy. She frowned and said, "Go and tell them that I have a headache and want to rest for a while."
"But..." Cui'er paused for a moment, then looked at Ye Wanning with some hesitation, "Sister, what exactly happened?"
"It can't be explained in just a few words." Ye Wanning half-covered her eyes, looking haggard. "Just tell him like this, he understands."
"elder sister……"
"Go on!" Ye Wanning waved her hand impatiently. "Why are you becoming more and more indecisive these days?"
"Yes." Helpless, Cui'er could only nod and go out of the house. She saw Su Wenzhen standing in the courtyard, stiff and anxious, as if he dared not take a step inside.
"Your Highness," Cui'er bowed slowly, looking at Su Wenzhen with some difficulty, and said, "My sister..."
"Won't you see me?" Su Wenzhen glanced at Cui'er, then looked at the half-open door. He sighed, "I guessed it."
"No..." Seeing Su Wenzhen's disappointed expression, Cui'er felt a pang of guilt and waved her hands repeatedly to explain, "Sister didn't not want to see him, it's just... it's just..." As Cui'er spoke, she felt her voice falter and became weaker, "It's just that sister said she had a headache... so..."
After a long silence, Su Wenzhen let out a long sigh before speaking, "I understand." He paused, then asked, "How's the injury?"
"It's been taken care of, no problem."
“Tell her…” Su Wenzhen bit her lip, seemingly thinking for a long time before speaking, “Just say… say…” Su Wenzhen paused, closed her eyes, and after a long while, said, “Say… it was my fault, I’m sorry…”
No sooner had he finished speaking than Steward Li suddenly walked over from a distance, "Your Highness, news has arrived from the palace!"
"Sister, sister!" Cui'er rushed into the house. "Sister, someone from the palace has come and said that the Crown Prince invites you and the Prince to a gathering." Cui'er looked at Ye Wanning with worry on her face. She really hoped that Ye Wanning would avoid such a dangerous place.
Su Wenzhen? Ye Wanning frowned. What did he want to do by calling her and Su Wenzhen over at this time?
