Chapter 54 You get out of breath when I say you're fat
She was quite certain that she didn't have it, but she still had to think about whether the original owner of this body ever did.
Xiao Wu's little nose twitched: "Ningbao, can you smell vinegar?"
"Hmm?" Wei Dongning sniffed. "No?"
"Open your eyes and take a look. Your husband is practically drowning in vinegar."
"Don't talk nonsense, it's not like we have a deep relationship."
They are now mostly considered to be bed partners who once kissed, the kind of innocent, child-friendly kind of partners.
After searching through her memories for a long time, Wei Dongning finally confirmed: "No."
"If you don't have it, why have you been thinking about it for so long?"
"What, you doubt me?" Wei Dongning narrowed her eyes, curled her lips, and looked at him with a half-smile: "There are so many men in the military camp, all of them are all muscular. After a while, I don't have any feelings for them anymore."
Her aesthetic sense is very fixed.
She has always preferred men with slender, thin muscles.
The one in front of us is in pretty good condition.
Gu Peiyan's aura lifted, and her expression relaxed: "My past was very dull. After my mother passed away, my father sent me to school. I spent my days either at school or at home, and rarely had any contact with people outside."
"Before the Emperor bestowed marriage upon us, were there any suitors who wanted to introduce you to potential partners?"
With Gu Peiyan's looks and knowledge, she should be very popular in this era.
If she were an elder in the girl's family, she would be very willing to let her daughter marry him.
What a high-potential stock!
Besides, once the daughter marries into the family, there's no need to worry about conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Gu Peiyan straightened up, walked around behind Wei Dongning, and gently turned a page of the storybook on the table with her slender fingers.
The smugness in her eyes was undeniable: "Yes, but I rejected them all."
As he walked past, a faint scent of soapberry lingered at the tip of her nose, and Wei Dongning's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
She was over thirty years old across both lifetimes, yet she couldn't resist the allure of a twenty-year-old young man.
I really need to work on my willpower.
He casually patted him on the shoulder twice: "Good male virtue, worthy of praise, keep it up."
"Thank you for the compliment, Madam."
"You get out of breath when I say you're fat."
Gu Peiyan looked at her own figure: "But Madam, I shouldn't be considered fat, right?"
Wei Dongning rubbed her forehead.
He's a pretty good person in every way, except that sometimes he's too stubborn.
"It's alright, just pretend I didn't say anything. Do you know what Su Yizhuo has been busy with lately? It feels like I haven't seen him in ages."
Aside from the last meal we had together, he seems to have vanished into thin air.
There has never been a time like this before.
"The Second Prince has recently..." Gu Peiyan paused, then rephrased her words before continuing, "The Crown Prince has great faith in the Second Prince's abilities."
"understood."
Time travel was his good fortune.
Being a cow or a horse was his destiny.
Wei Dongning silently lit three candles for him in her heart.
How badly could Su Yizhuo be treated?
Let me describe it this way.
The senior high school students all looked more energetic than him;
Even the old men wielding whips in the park are more energetic than him.
Before, at least I could play on my phone and slack off at work.
Now things are really messed up; they just open their eyes and start working.
When Gu Peiyan met his weathered eyes during court, she couldn't help but sigh, "How pitiful."
A moment of silence fell over the room as the couple expressed their condolences for Su Yizhuo's unfortunate ordeal.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."
Sympathy is impossible.
An older brother is practically meaningless if you don't use him to trick others.
Wei Dongning rubbed her sore face from laughing, her voice muffled as she said, "Gu Peiyan, I've already bought the house Qianrong had his eye on today. Find an opportunity to give Qianrong the land deed in the next few days. Don't wait until he finally saves up enough money only to find the house has already been sold."
Giving him the land deed at that time would not be a surprise, but a shock.
"it is good."
"Also, tomorrow is a day off for both you and your father, so I've arranged for someone from Yunzhifang to come and take your measurements. Remember to make sure you have time for that."
"it is good."
Wei Dongning raised an eyebrow.
At this moment, Gu Peiyan seemed to have an automatic reply function enabled; no matter what she said, she would only answer with "okay".
Just for fun, Wei Dongning leaned closer to him and said, "We'll be sleeping in separate beds today."
But to everyone's surprise, Gu Peiyan's train of thought wasn't swayed at all: "Oh no."
"Tsk, I thought you would say yes."
This answer was exactly what she expected. Wei Dongning shrugged and sat back down.
"By the way, it's almost the end of the year, and there will be more thieves and robbers on the streets. Remember to protect yourselves when you and Xiaofu go shopping."
"Don't worry, I've practiced martial arts since I was a child, so I'm sure I can handle these people."
Wei Dongning didn't take it seriously.
The original owner's martial arts skills were no joke.
She still gets up early every day to practice under Xiao Wu's supervision.
If we really encounter bandits, it's uncertain who will win or lose.
Gu Peiyan was defeated by Wei Dongning's confidence: "If you can't beat them, run away quickly. Money is gone, but safety is the most important thing."
"I know, Granny Gu."
After having breakfast, Su Yizhuo originally planned to take a nap before going out for a "wild" stroll and then visit the Gu residence to have dinner with Wei Dongning.
I mainly wanted to complain to her about how inhuman the Crown Prince is.
As a result, he slept straight through until dark.
During this time, the Imperial Concubine sent people to look for him several times, but the messages sent back were all that the Second Prince was still sleeping.
The imperial concubine was worried that her son, who wasn't particularly bright to begin with, had become mentally challenged from sleeping too much.
Especially since he bumped his head last time.
"An'an, go and tell the guards around the Second Prince that if the Second Prince is still asleep before dinner, they should summon the imperial physician to take a look."
An'an was sitting next to the concubine's legs, massaging her.
Hearing this, she looked up and comforted him, "Your Highness, His Highness is probably just too tired lately, so he slept a little longer. He'll be fine."
The last time she was ordered to check on the Second Prince, she could clearly hear his snoring from the doorway.
Up close, you can see a small patch of water has formed at the corner of his mouth.
He was clearly fast asleep.
The Imperial Concubine sighed, "Alas, seeing how hard he has worked these past few days, I am both happy and worried."
An'an asked, puzzled, "Why is Your Highness troubled? Isn't it only right that the Second Prince works hard for the country?"
"You're still young, there are some things you can't see clearly."
With the Wei family holding military power for so many years, how could the emperor not be wary?
If Su Yizhuo's performance in state affairs is too outstanding, it is inevitable that the emperor will become suspicious.
Why she became a concubine is something others may not know, but surely she herself knows?
How could it be that the emperor had feelings for her, as others thought?
She was merely used as a bridge to leverage the Wei family's power during the power grab.
"Your Majesty, perhaps you are overthinking it."
The imperial concubine didn't explain much, but patted her head affectionately.
Su Yizhuo was fast asleep when he was shaken awake: "Second Prince! His Highness the Crown Prince has sent someone to invite you over."
"What is he going to do now? Doesn't my life matter?"
Su Yizhuo was forced to turn on his phone, and his mind went completely blank.
Finally realizing what the guard was saying, she immediately buried her head under the covers: "Could you tell him I'm dead?!"
