Chapter 78 How about getting a wheelchair?
Upon hearing that he wouldn't have to do any work, Su Yizhuo couldn't suppress the upward curve of his lips.
He said it was only right for him to serve his brother, but in reality, he didn't move his butt off the stool an inch.
Having vented all his grievances, Su Yizhuo, in a moment of kindness, let Wei Dongning off the hook.
He handed over the red envelope he had prepared beforehand: "Here, your New Year's money."
Wei Dongning opened it without any hesitation, her eyes dazzled by the golden light inside: "Brother, you're really rich now."
Every move they make is a gold ingot.
That's incredibly extravagant.
"In my past life, I wasn't very capable, so I couldn't make you the sister of a self-made millionaire. This life is different; I've become a second-generation rich kid."
"Pah, you're not exactly a rich kid, your father is the emperor."
Su Yizhuo raised his hand and flicked her forehead: "You said you transmigrated but didn't try your best. If you had transmigrated into the body of a princess, would we still be able to be siblings?"
"What's so great about being a princess?"
Wei Dongning feels that her current life is better.
Gu Peiyan was a man of few words, but he knew how to respect her.
Her father-in-law, Gu Song, never interfered in their affairs, giving her complete freedom.
Not only are there strict rules in the royal court, but there are also many intricate details within it.
She didn't think her brain could survive three episodes in there.
People should have some self-awareness.
Su Yizhuo sighed again: "You're right, becoming a princess isn't necessarily a good thing."
Shortly before they transmigrated, a princess had been sent away for a political marriage.
They were treated like objects to be exchanged, with no human rights whatsoever.
He didn't understand why forging friendships between two countries and establishing harmonious coexistence required sacrificing a woman.
This is something he didn't understand when he was studying history.
I always felt that it was a sign of a man's incompetence.
He is now willing to help Su Yizhou wholeheartedly, partly because he has leverage over Su Yizhou, and partly because Su Yizhou shares the same ideas as him.
Moreover, Su Yizhou himself said that when he ascends the throne, he will never sacrifice his sisters or daughters to maintain so-called dignity.
Gu Peiyan and Wei Xiuming's conversation had long since ended.
After waiting in the room for a long time without Wei Dongning returning, he took the initiative to go and find her.
When they found Wei Dongning, she and Su Yizhuo were holding a gold ingot, weighing it in their hands every now and then, while Su Yizhuo looked at her with the "loving" gaze one would give a daughter.
The scene was somewhat eerie.
“A-Ning.”
"Why did you come here? Didn't I tell you to wait for me in the room?"
Gu Peiyan handed a hand warmer to Wei Dongning and explained, "I was worried you'd be cold since you haven't been back for a while, so I brought you this hand warmer."
Xiao Wu was shouting in Wei Dongning's mind: "Ha, men, jealousy is jealousy, why make excuses?"
"Jealous? Jealous of what?"
"Ask him."
It's such an obvious thing, yet Ningbao just can't understand it.
In her eyes, Su Yizhuo was her own brother, but in Gu Peiyan's eyes, Su Yizhuo was just her cousin.
In this era, marriage between cousins was an extremely common occurrence.
How could Gu Peiyan not be jealous?
He had already eaten a lot long before he even understood his own feelings.
Su Yizhuo also rolled his eyes.
Men understand men best.
He knew perfectly well what Gu Peiyan meant by this.
But he had no intention of explaining.
Let Gu Peiyan act out this grand drama of Xiong Jing that nobody cares about.
This also serves to increase his sense of crisis, so that he won't neglect Ningning.
"Alright, I have nothing more to say. You two can go now."
If he didn't let them leave soon, Su Yizhuo was afraid he would be drowned in jealousy.
Wei Dongning had been restless for a long time. Upon hearing that she was free, she wished she could teleport back to her room.
After venting his emotions, Su Yizhuo felt much better. He put his hands behind his back, hummed a song in his mind, and left before them.
Wei Dongning yawned without regard for her image: "I never realized he was so long-winded. It's a good thing he didn't become a teacher, otherwise all the students would be asleep."
"Do you want to go back and get some sleep?"
"No, I don't think so." Wei Dongning looked up at the sun. "There's not enough time. I haven't even fallen asleep yet and I have to get up to prepare dinner. Let's go back to the Gu Mansion to sleep after we finish eating."
The rooms in the Marquis's mansion have been uninhabited for a long time. Even with the underfloor heating installed today, they still lack a sense of human presence.
I'm still more comfortable sleeping at the Gu residence, which I've gotten used to recently.
"I'll do whatever you say."
Wei Dongning leaned all her weight on Gu Peiyan, letting him support her as they walked towards the room: "Before, I always felt that you were a bit difficult to get along with."
Whether it was what she heard from Wei Liangzhe or the photo Xiao Wu showed her, it was all true.
She had already formed a preconceived notion about him.
"now what?"
Wei Dongning reached out and pinched his earlobe: "Now I realize you're easily swayed and very easy to talk to."
Gu Peiyan hadn't expected her to be so bold, and awkwardly turned her head away, saying, "Mm."
Are you shy?
"No."
"Oh, being shy isn't anything to be ashamed of." Wei Dongning touched his other ear again: "Your ears can actually move!"
"Hurry up, you'll catch a cold if you wait."
Their conversation was carried by the wind to Wei Qiuci's ears, who was separated by a wall.
A bitter smile appeared on his lips.
It was a mixture of envy and jealousy.
She had just heard Xiao He say that the Crown Prince had arrived, so she put on a cloak and was about to go outside.
She would be content even if she could only catch a glimpse of him from afar.
Unfortunately, they were not meant to be; he had just left when she arrived.
If I didn't dream about him last night, if he didn't suddenly appear today.
She might not be that sad inside yet.
Xiao He looked at Wei Qiu Ci with concern: "Second Miss..."
"I am fine."
She had simply been letting herself sink into depravity while remaining conscious.
Wei Dongning had only been in her room for less than twenty minutes when Xiao Fu knocked on the door: "Miss, Master, word comes from the front hall that it's time to eat."
"Can I not go...?"
"No." Gu Peiyan pulled the person out of the water. "Don't keep everyone waiting."
"How about I lay a mat on the ground, sit on it, and you pull me over?"
"The ground is cold. Are you planning to catch a cold and then go back to get revenge on Xiao Wu?"
Wei Dongning choked.
She cursed inwardly, "That bastard, he's even learned to tell lame jokes."
Xiao Wu suggested to Wei Dongning, "Have him carry you across."
"Forget it. Instead of having him carry me around the Marquis's mansion, you might as well have him pluck a star for me."
He's such a polite person, it's impossible for him to do something like that.
"Then you should go by yourself."
Xiao Wu had no other choice.
"Gu Peiyan, why don't you find someone to make me a wheelchair after we get back to the manor? That way I won't have to walk around by myself to go anywhere."
Gu Peiyan slapped her on the forehead: "Don't talk nonsense."
When they arrived at the front hall, everyone was already there.
Wei Liangzhe looked around: "Where is the Crown Prince?"
"My brother said he had other important matters to attend to and has already left."
Xiao Wu mentally nudged Wei Dongning: "I heard that two human traffickers have been found in the capital."
