Chapter 4 The Father-in-Law's View of His Son-in-Law
"Don't catch a cold."
A cold male voice rang out.
Wei Dongning looked down at the thing that had been stuffed into her hand and thought to herself how thoughtful he was.
Then she turned her head to look at the still expressionless man: "Thank you?"
Gu Peiyan nodded slightly: "Miss Wei, it's cold outside, you should go home as soon as possible."
Wei Qiuci watched the two of them from the side, her teeth practically grinding to powder.
Why is Gu Peiyan so considerate now, when she clearly disliked Wei Dongning just now?
Wei Dongning held the hand warmer and clicked her tongue softly.
This Gu Peiyan is the type who's cold on the outside but warm on the inside, a bit of a repressed flirt.
Then Gu Peiyan added calmly, "If you catch a cold, it will affect the wedding banquet in half a month."
OK, fine.
Wei Dongning thought to herself: Thank you so much. I really thought he was concerned about me just now, but it turns out I was just being presumptuous.
I treat you as a friend, but you treat me like a tool, right?
Wei Dongning pulled Wei Qiuci, who was standing beside her like a pillar, and walked towards where their carriage was parked.
As he turned around, he didn't notice that the sachet hanging from his waist had fallen to the ground.
Gu Peiyan picked up the sachet and gently stroked the plum blossoms embroidered on it with her fingers.
A faint scent of herbs lingered around his nose.
His eyes were fixed on the direction the carriage had gone.
Su Yizhuo had been observing Gu Peiyan's movements.
I felt a sense of relief when I saw him take out a hand warmer and place it in my daughter's hand.
As a result, Gu Peiyan's next words completely destroyed any goodwill he had towards her.
If it weren't for the laws of the Great An Kingdom that prohibit princes from abusing their power, he would have definitely taught this pig who had stolen his little cabbage a lesson in why flowers are so red!
His tender, juicy little cabbage, in this ancient society, not only had to get married early, but she also married someone with such negative emotional intelligence.
I don't know if the cat drank too much urine the day the emperor issued the decree, but it made such an absurd decision.
If he had been there, he would have opposed the marriage to the bitter end!
Thinking of this, Su Yizhuo narrowed his eyes, concealing the murderous aura that was about to overflow.
He walked up and patted Gu Peiyan on the shoulder.
His words sounded like both a plea and a threat: "If I find out that you will treat Ningning badly in the future, I will not let you off the hook."
Gu Peiyan took a half step back and bowed: "Your Highness, rest assured, the Gu family has a rule that one cannot have three wives and four concubines. After the marriage, I will not mistreat Miss Wei."
Su Yizhu scoffed inwardly.
Not having multiple wives and concubines, and not mistreating Ningning, is the best way to treat her?
If he were to help Ningning choose, he would definitely find someone from a similar family background who is genuinely good to her.
Alternatively, she could marry someone from an ordinary family, so that Ningning wouldn't have to worry about being bullied.
Of course, no matter what kind of family he came from, he felt he was not good enough for his little cabbage.
In modern times, one has to guard against those fiery, blond-haired thugs; in ancient times, however, it was impossible to guard against them all.
He's furious!
He's itching to use his hands!
He wanted to punch someone!
But I'm also afraid that if I really beat someone up, it will embarrass Ningning at the wedding banquet in half a month.
His little pearl is about to fall off.
Nobody understands how he feels!
They say an elder brother is like a father, and now he understands that.
Why do fathers-in-law find their sons-in-law increasingly unpleasant to look at?
No, he had to go back to the palace and stuff all the good things into Ningning's dowry list.
Even if I suffer injustice in the future, I'll throw money at him until he's dead!
Having made up his mind, Su Yizhuo didn't say anything more, leaving behind the words: "I hope you keep your word."
He then left with the eunuch beside him.
If you look closely, you'll notice that his steps are somewhat hurried.
Gu Peiyan carefully put the sachet away and walked in the opposite direction.
The servant Qianrong followed behind Gu Peiyan, curiously inquiring, "Young Master, why is His Highness the Second Prince so concerned about Miss Wei? Could it be that His Highness is interested in...?"
Before Qian Rong could finish speaking, Gu Peiyan interrupted her with a frown: "Don't talk nonsense! Is this how I've always taught you?"
Such unrestrained speech will not only damage Miss Wei's reputation, but also show disrespect to the royal family.
If someone with ulterior motives overhears this and reports it to the Emperor, the whole family might be implicated.
Qian Rong quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, young master, it was my oversight."
"Don't do it again next time. Go home."
Wei Qiuci looked preoccupied ever since he got into the carriage.
Wei Dongning ignored her and called out to Xiao Wu, who was pretending to be dead, in her mind.
"Xiao Wu, come out here! I won't ask you about my brother anymore, okay?"
Xiao Wu's figure slowly appeared: "You promise?"
"Wrapped up, wrapped up."
Asking it won't get you an answer; it's a complete waste of your breath.
Xiao Wu sat down cross-legged with relief and produced another greasy fried chicken leg: "So why did you call me out? I haven't finished eating yet."
"I want to see a male Bodhisattva. Can you grant me this small wish?"
"Then you shouldn't go home, you should go to the White Pagoda Temple!"
"Tsk, don't play dumb, you know what kind of male bodhisattva I want."
In this era, everyone is wrapped up like a rice dumpling.
She began to miss the muscular, swaying abs of modern men.
Especially the song "Question" that was particularly popular on Yangshizi short videos before her death.
It's practically a sacred song for the Cowherd!
"Alright, I'll look for it for you." Xiao Wu tapped on his small electronic screen, muttering, "How can such a young girl be so lecherous?"
She completely forgot that it existed in Wei Dongning's mind; no matter how soft the sound was, Wei Dongning could hear it clearly.
However, Wei Dongning was too lazy to pay attention to its incessant chatter.
What's so great about someone so young not being a womanizer?
How do you do it?
"Xiao Wu, every time I call you, you're eating. Aren't you afraid of getting fat?"
“I’m still growing. If you keep talking to me like that, I won’t show it to you.”
"I was wrong, I was wrong, okay Xiao Wu, let's get started!"
Wei Dongning admitted her mistake sincerely, and Xiao Wu snorted and let her go.
The same background music played on endless loop in her mind, with countless male and female bodhisattvas swaying their graceful waists.
Wei Dongning's mouth watered; she wished she could jump into the screen and embrace them both.
Due to her physical limitations in modern times, she can no longer go to noisy places like bars.
In ancient times, she naturally wanted to make up for her past regrets.
Wei Dongning adjusted her posture and asked Xiao Wu in her mind, "Xiao Wu, would you like to go to the brothels of this era to broaden your horizons?"
Xiao Wu bit her finger and replied affectedly, "That's not a good idea, I'm still a child~"
"Could you please wipe your saliva before you say that? Otherwise, the screen will short-circuit."
"Sigh, don't rub salt in the wound!"
"Then let's find a time..."
"Hey hey hey."
The two hooligans hit it off immediately, and Wei Dongning couldn't help but whistle.
Wei Qiuci looked up at Wei Dongning with disdain: "Sister, it's best not to behave like this in front of outsiders, otherwise everyone will doubt whether our Marquis's mansion has any manners."
"Are you an outsider?" Wei Dongning looked directly into Wei Qiuci's eyes.
His eyes were clear and bright.
