Chapter 15 Equal Pressure to Marry 2
Unable to persuade Wei Xiuming, Bai Suyun turned her attention to Wei Qiuci.
Waiting for her to state her choice.
Wei Qiuci subconsciously looked up, her gaze lingering briefly on the Crown Prince's face as he drank, before she looked away again: "I leave it to Mother to decide."
"The old lady of the Marquis of Anyang's birthday banquet is in a few days. You and I will go together then."
The families of the several promising young men I introduced to her last time are also among those invited, so I can take this opportunity to meet them.
"Yes." Wei Qiuci picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth, using it to hide the bitterness in her heart.
The moon over the sea is the same as the moon in the sky; the person before my eyes can only be treasured in my heart.
Isn't this something that was expected?
Why are my eyes sore?
Wei Dongning and Su Yizhuo, just like before, used chopsticks as weapons to fight over the last piece of fried tofu on the plate, neither willing to give up.
She didn't even notice the winter bamboo shoots that Gu Peiyan put in her bowl.
She was only focused on fighting with Su Yizhuo for food.
"Nao Nao, I'm your sister. Give it to me, or I'll beat you up." Wei Dongning's threatening words were almost squeezed out between her teeth.
Su Yizhuo refused to back down even an inch: "Wei Dongning, I've always given in to you since we were little. What's wrong with you giving in to me this once? Why should the older brother always give in to his younger sister? We're both experiencing life for the first time."
Oh, no, this is the second time for them.
"Su Naonao, have you forgotten who you were back then..."
When Su Yizhuo heard that she was about to start reminiscing about the past again and threaten him with the old story of how she helped him fend off unwanted suitors back in modern times, he immediately put down his chopsticks: "Go ahead and eat. Eat until you become a little fatso."
Wei Dongning proudly waved her spoils in front of him twice, then swallowed them in one gulp: "Hehe, I can lose weight even if I get fat."
Their playful bickering sounded extremely awkward to Gu Peiyan.
He kept all of this in mind, planning to talk to her about it when he got home.
Although they were cousins, the Second Prince was ultimately an outsider.
Then he ladled a bowl of sweet soup and placed it next to Wei Dongning: "This is delicious."
"Thanks!" Wei Dongning grinned. "You should try some too. My cook makes the best sweet soup."
"it is good."
Wei Liangzhe smiled and took a sip of wine from his cup.
He really enjoys seeing the younger generation in his family playfully bickering like this.
So as long as they don't escalate to the point of flipping the table, he generally won't say much.
Only the Crown Prince seemed to be invisible, focusing solely on eating the entire time.
Unless someone initiates a conversation.
He's not a talkative person to begin with; he just came along with his younger brother to freeload a meal.
Well, I'll just watch the show while I'm at it.
The palace always emphasizes rules and etiquette, so such scenes of people playing around at the dining table are rarely seen.
After lunch, Wei Dongning made an excuse to send Gu Peiyan, who had been following her, away, and dragged Su Yizhuo to the garden.
He hasn't told her the reason why Su Yizhuo traveled through time with her.
We didn't get to chat last time because I was too drunk.
She was then confined to her home until her wedding day.
Now that she's finally found an opportunity, she's determined to get to the bottom of it.
In the small garden, two people sat facing each other, with a blank chessboard in front of them.
Wei Dongning picked up a white chess piece and placed it on the chessboard: "Tell me the story after I died."
Su Yizhuo also placed a black piece on the board, and curled his lip: "What kind of story can you have after you die? I was sending you to be cremated, and when I was carrying your urn to the cemetery, I got into a car accident."
He could never forget that rain that day.
It was even bigger than the day Gua Liu pleaded for mercy.
He drove with Wei Dongning's urn in tow, keeping his speed low to ensure safety.
But as if God was playing a joke, the trailer truck behind them, carrying goods, lost control of its speed.
With a "whoosh," he turned into a meat patty.
When he opened his eyes again, he had transformed from Wei Yizhuo into Su Yizhuo, who had fallen off a mountain, hit his head, and been unconscious for several days.
He was ready to accept his fate, but then he found his sister again.
He's still healthy.
He was so desperate he wanted to pray to God.
Wei Dongning put down the last chess piece: "I won."
Su Yizhuo approached the chessboard and stared at it for a long time: "Where did you win? Are you kidding me?"
