My rigid, jealous husband has fallen for me, even though I'm a hopeless romantic.

Chapter 77 Unlucky Su Yizhuo

“By the way, brother,” Gu Peiyan called out to Wei Xiuming, who was about to leave, “that man ended up going to a brothel, and I feel like it wasn’t for…”

Wei Xiuming didn't immediately realize what he had omitted.

I stared at his face for two seconds.

He nodded and replied, "I will send someone to investigate."

Although we only know the man's general outline, it's not easy to figure out who he is.

But we still have to find it eventually.

Especially the "master" behind him, who sounds like a person of high status.

He needs to find out who it is so that peace can be restored to the military.

Gu Peiyan delivered the message, not wanting to linger, and after saying goodbye, prepared to go back and wait for Wei Dongning.

"Don't leave yet, there are some things I was just about to ask you."

Wei Xiuming stopped him, had his attendant prepare hot tea, and led Gu Peiyan to sit in the pavilion.

The questions asked him were mostly about how he and Wei Dongning were doing lately, and whether there were any conflicts between them.

Wei Dongning, on the other hand, was not as lucky as him.

Once Su Yizhu started complaining, it seemed like she could talk to him for a whole day and night.

Every now and then he would throw in a few words of criticism against the crown prince.

"Capitalists, heartless capitalists."

“Let me tell you, that bastard has no humanity. I’m his brother, for goodness’ sake, yet he treats me like a donkey.”

"Let's not even talk about how he exploited me to work; just that time he made me watch the execution with my own eyes, I didn't eat for three days!"

"Seriously, even my stupid boss back then wasn't as ruthless as him."

"What, am I a black slave?"

"Besides, at least when I went to work, I got paid. Now, it's not like I, XXX, can get a single penny."

"What's wrong with me just wanting to be a lazy bum? It's not like I'm stinking in front of his house."

“XXX, even my father, the emperor, didn’t ask me to do these things.”

His mouth makes a series of popping sounds, like a machine gun.

There are no techniques involved; it relies purely on emotional expression.

Wei Dongning looked at the man who appeared behind Gu Peiyan.

His lips were pursed into a straight line.

She subtly moved a little distance away, trying to distance herself from Su Yizhuo.

She wanted to speak up and remind the fool in front of her, but the Crown Prince stopped her by raising his hand.

As the Crown Prince's smile grew wider, Wei Dongning felt cold sweat pouring down her forehead.

Su Yizhuo, in danger!

But Su Yizhuo was already so engrossed in cursing that he didn't care about any of that.

Grabbing Wei Dongning, he continued passionately: "I thought I finally had a brother and could enjoy a few days of being pampered by him like you used to. Good grief, I feel like I sold myself to a slave trader."

"It seems that Xiao Zhuo harbors quite a bit of resentment towards me. I should reflect on this."

Su Yizhuo felt a "boom" in his mind.

They closed their eyes and refused to accept reality.

Can someone explain to him why Su Yizhou always manages to appear silently behind him when he least wants to be heard talking?

Does he have a nickname "Cao Cao"?

Good heavens, he promises he will never speak ill of people behind their backs again.

Especially this one he can't beat.

The Crown Prince chuckled lightly, sat down in their empty seats, and poured himself a cup of tea with great interest: "Why did you stop talking? Weren't you speaking quite eloquently just now?"

Su Yizhuo took a deep breath and put on a pitiful expression: "Brother, if I said that person just now wasn't me, would you believe me?"

In her previous life, Wei Dongning had never seen Su Yizhuo act so "lapdog-like".

No matter how difficult the situation, he remained calm and gentle in her presence.

He would also comfort her, saying, "Don't be afraid, your brother is here for you. Ningning just needs to grow up happily."

Perhaps because of the time travel, her body became healthy, and he no longer needed to suppress his nature.

I've become much more energetic.

Thinking about it this way, Wei Dongning suddenly felt that she had let Su Yizhuo down a bit.

If it weren't for her little "burden," Su Yizhuo in his previous life would probably still be a "happy little dog" like he is now.

The Crown Prince put down his teacup and shook his head: "Alas, it seems it's all my fault. I never realized I was such a poor elder brother."

Wei Dongning was so shocked that her eyes widened.

I've never heard of Da'an Kingdom being a major producer of green tea.

Xiao Wu disdainfully made a loopy gesture in Wei Dongning's mind: "They're all... mine... no... the green tea smell is almost overflowing. Ningbao, your two brothers don't seem to be very smart."

They can't see through the true nature of a green tea b*tch.

This time, Wei Dongning wasn't scared by it at all. Instead, she teased it with great interest: "Oh ho, so this brat isn't pretending anymore?"

Ever since Xiao Wu released its "poison" yesterday, no matter how much they called it, it was determined to play dead.

I didn't even get to say a word to her this morning.

She thought it wouldn't follow her today.

"Hmph, anyway, I've gotten my revenge, so we're even."

If Xiao Wu were still that little cat, Wei Dongning would definitely hug and pet it.

Pity.

She could only clench her fists and restrain herself from wanting to pet the cat.

While she was talking to Xiao Wu, Su Yizhuo had completely given up.

The so-called bloodline suppression means that even though he was a transmigrator, he would tremble when facing this older brother.

Seeing his dejected state, the crown prince smiled again: "Alright, I didn't mean to blame you."

He also knew that assigning Su Yizhuo so much work recently was indeed a little excessive.

Even he would complain when he was tired from work, let alone Su Yizhuo, who had basically never dealt with these things before.

Wei Dongning witnessed firsthand how Su Yizhuo instantly transformed into a sycophant after hearing that the Crown Prince hadn't blamed him.

For a moment, I really wanted to gouge my own eyes out.

Then I asked netizens for a pair of clean eyes that have never seen this scene before.

"Xiao Wu, do you have any eye drops? I need to wash my eyes."

"No, you don't want to."

"Or you could bring Gu Peiyan over here and have him take me away from here."

She simply couldn't accept that her older brother had gone from a composed and capable professional to this...

Lackey.

She couldn't think of any other adjectives at all.

Xiao Wu crossed his legs gleefully: "Sorry, honey, we don't support remote calling services."

"When we get home, I'll give you a good beating."

Fortunately, the Crown Prince happened to be passing by the Marquis's residence and, upon hearing that Su Yizhuo was also there, came in to see what he was doing.

After teasing him, she had to go and deal with other things: "I'm leaving, I still have things to take care of."

"Brother, do you want me to come with you?"

Su Yizhuo had just offended someone and was thinking of trying to appease him.

But I kept praying that he wouldn't agree.

He also wanted to take a few more days off during the Chinese New Year.

Although they hadn't spent a particularly long time together, Su Yizhou felt he knew his younger brother quite well, so he decided to tease him: "Okay."

Su Yizhuo's heart sank to the bottom. He stood up with his head hanging low, ready to leave with Su Yizhou.

Su Yizhou pressed her back down: "Just kidding, it's nothing important, I can handle it by myself."
