Chapter 36 The Tied Brother-in-Law
Shengxia did not miss the moment when Xie Zhi and his group were walking out. Xie Zhi seemed to grab Wei Yang's arm hard, but Shengxia could not say anything.
"There was a small incident. I would like to apologize to everyone here. Enjoy your meal and drinks." Shengxia said to everyone with a fist salute.
How could the crowd say anything? They just watched the fun for free and they were so happy in their hearts that they didn't know how happy they were. Soon everyone returned to their seats and the front hall became lively again.
Shengxia explained something to Uncle Wu and then walked towards the inner courtyard. After walking for a while, she saw Sheng Yuan pushing a wheelchair towards her, but his cheeks were abnormally red.
Sheng Xia hesitated for a moment and told Sheng Yuan what she had just seen. Sheng Yuan frowned and clenched his fists, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Brother, what exactly happened between you and the third prince?" In view of everything that had just happened, Sheng Xia already had some guesses in his mind, and Sheng Yuan needed to tell him all this.
"Don't ask." Sheng Yuan didn't want to mention the sad past.
"Brother, we are brothers. If you tell me, maybe I can help you." Sheng Xia walked to Sheng Yuan's side, put her hand on Sheng Yuan's shoulder, and comforted him silently.
Just when Sheng Xia thought his elder brother wouldn't say anything, Sheng Yuan opened his mouth and said, "In the past, Wei Yang and I admired each other. We had been secretly communicating with each other. We agreed that when I made great achievements, I could marry Wei Yang with my military merits."
"Five years ago, the barbarians attacked, and I followed my father to the battle. Before leaving, I left a letter for Wei Yang, hoping that he would wait for my triumphant return."
"Later, my father died on the battlefield, and I was betrayed by my own people, which resulted in my legs being crippled. Later, my father's former subordinates bravely fought their way back to the capital, but it was too late."
"A month after I returned to the capital, Wei Yang got married. He married the son of someone who might harm me. From then on, I was devastated and stayed in the courtyard."
"It's you who has always supported me, Xiaoxia. If I had followed my father and daddy, you would have no relatives in this world. How could I bear it?" Sheng Yuan spoke of the past with some sadness.
"Brother, I see that the Third Prince is not doing well. This must not be the first time that Zhao Qiang has beaten him. Is there any misunderstanding?"
"It was a misunderstanding. I didn't know. When I heard that he was going to get married, I used all my connections, but all I got in return was a note." Sheng Yuan closed his eyes and didn't want to recall.
"What's written on it?"
"How can my broken body be worthy of the Jade Hall? You should abandon yourself and find another good match. Don't blame me." Sheng Yuan said the contents of the note word by word. After four years, he still remembered every word on it clearly.
"Brother, did you hate him back then?" Shengxia asked softly.
"I hated him, but following a useless person like me is what harmed him. His choice was right." Sheng Yuan said somewhat dejectedly.
Although Shengxia was sad for his brother, he knew that no one could be blamed for such a choice.
"Brother, what were you doing just now? Why is your face still so red after being gone for such a long time? I just saw that the third prince didn't seem normal when he returned to the banquet." Sheng Xia recalled Sheng Yuan whom she had just met and asked curiously.
Sheng Yuan's blush, which had just faded, returned, and he said in a panic, "Nothing. I'll go to the front hall first."
Shengxia looked at Sheng Yuan's back as he left, and it seemed like he was running away. Shengxia said he didn't understand.
Sheng Yuan's heart beat faster, and then he looked down at his wrist, which still had red marks left by the ribbon. He didn't know why it turned out like this.
Sheng Yuan couldn't help but recall the scene just now. After Sheng Xia dragged Zhao Qiang away, Wei Yang lay in Sheng Yuan's arms. He was comforting Wei Yang, but he didn't expect Wei Yang to stand up and wipe away his tears.
Wei Yang walked behind Sheng Yuan and pushed Sheng Yuan towards the bamboo forest not far away. At first, he thought Wei Yang was there because he was afraid of being discovered, so he did not say anything to stop him.
Then Wei Yang pushed him forward while picking up the ribbons that decorated the sides of the road, but Sheng Yuan in front of him didn't notice anything at all.
"Brother Yang, tell me, does that bastard beat you often?" Sheng Yuan was afraid that Wei Yang would be sad, so he never mentioned it, but he really couldn't help but ask out loud. If that was the case, he didn't know what he would do.
Wei Yang did not answer, and Sheng Yuan did not ask any more questions. He wanted to give Wei Yang some time, but Wei Yang just kept pushing Sheng Yuan forward until they came to a place behind the bamboo forest where no one would find them. Wei Yang finally stopped.
Wei Yang took out two ribbons from his arms, grabbed Sheng Yuan's hand and pressed it on the armrest of the wheelchair, then wrapped the ribbons around him layer by layer. As if he was afraid that the person being wrapped would get hurt, he eased up on the force and left a certain amount of space.
Sheng Yuan was stunned by Wei Yang's actions. He looked at Wei Yang in shock and tried to pull Wei Yang's hand away. Wei Yang said in a gentle and serious voice, "Don't move."
Sheng Yuan subconsciously stopped moving at that moment. One of his hands was already tied up, and Wei Yang directly held down the hand that wanted to resist and tied it up as well.
"What are you doing? Why are you tying me up?" Sheng Yuan moved his wrist and spoke in a low voice, even though he knew that no one would be around.
"Brother Yuan, don't be afraid." Wei Yang lowered his head and kissed Sheng Yuan's eyebrows, speaking gently and with a hint of nervousness.
As Wei Yang finished speaking, Sheng Yuan swallowed his saliva reluctantly. His body honestly told him that he still loved Wei Yang.
Wei Yang's kiss moved all the way down, wanting to kiss Sheng Yuan's lips, but Sheng Yuan was afraid that Wei Yang would regret it in a moment of impulse, so he turned his head away, and Wei Yang's kiss fell on Sheng Yuan's cheek.
"I know Brother Yuan hates me, but Yang'er doesn't regret it." Wei Yang didn't insist on kissing Sheng Yuan anymore.
Wei Yang untied his belt and covered Sheng Yuan's eyes with it. Sheng Yuan was instantly plunged into darkness. He had a rough idea of what Wei Yang wanted to do.
"Stop, it's not too late for you to regret now." Sheng Yuan said in a hoarse voice.
Wei Yang did not answer. He was unbuckling Sheng Yuan's belt. It was early summer now and the clothes were thinner. After untying the string of his inner garment, Sheng Yuan's abdominal muscles were soon revealed in front of Wei Yang's eyes.
Wei Yang touched him with trembling hands. This was the lover he missed day and night. Wei Yang knew that if he missed this opportunity, he might never have it again in the future.
The delicate and smooth palm slid across the chest muscles, across the abdominal muscles, and all the way down. Sheng Yuan's body tensed instantly, his hands clenched tightly, veins bulging, as if he had reached the limit of endurance.
