Chapter 196 Almost a Misunderstanding
“I was mentally prepared, but he just left me with the words ‘he’s going to sleep in the side room.’”
God knows how wronged she has been these past two days.
Whether she was going to the palace or visiting her family in Zhong's hometown, she always had to put on an act of marital harmony.
A small river had already flowed within my heart.
All of this was an illusion. In reality, their daily lives in the Prince's mansion were more like two separate worlds.
After hearing Zhong Shuyue's words, Wei Dongning now really wanted to grab Su Yizhuo and beat him up.
That mouth of his is usually quite talkative.
Why is it that when it's time to speak, you can't utter a single word?
But the most urgent task now is to comfort Zhong Shuyue, who is in tears.
As long as I can appease her, everything will be fine.
Wei Dongning sighed inwardly and leaned close to Zhong Shuyue's ear: "Don't cry, I'll teach you a method that will definitely work against him."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Shuyue immediately stopped crying and looked at Wei Dongning with sobs: "What method?"
"Come closer."
Zhong Shuyue obediently moved closer, and after hearing Wei Dongning's words, she stared in shock, her eyes widening: "Will this work?"
"Don't worry, if I say it's possible, it's absolutely possible." Wei Dongning raised an eyebrow at her, looking confident.
She was quite confident in controlling Su Yizhuo.
Zhong Shuyue took a deep breath: "Okay, I'll try it tonight."
We might as well try anything, even if it seems hopeless.
Besides, they've known each other since childhood, so she definitely knows Su Yizhuo better than I do.
You can't go wrong by listening to her.
When Wei Dongning saw that she had finally stopped crying, she breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, she was really afraid of seeing other people cry.
The main problem is that she really doesn't know how to coax people.
In her past life, she had a classmate she got along with fairly well who was crying her eyes out next to her, and she didn't know what to do.
All I can do is stand by and say something dry: "Don't be sad."
Now that this problem is solved, it's time to move on to the next one.
Wei Dongning patted Zhong Shuyue's hand, which was holding hers: "Yueyue, think about what to do first. I'm going out for a bit."
"Where are you going?"
"I'll go avenge you, I'll be right back."
"Oh, okay." Zhong Shuyue nodded, then quickly added, "Please don't do anything."
Upon hearing this, Wei Dongning was both amused and exasperated.
Given Su Yizhuo's current status as the Prince of Ding, how could she dare to easily lay a hand on him?
Wei Dongning walked out of the room and instructed the servant standing outside, "Please go and invite the Prince to the garden."
Following her memory, she took Xiao Fu to the garden first.
Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment: "Ningbao, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to interfere in their relationship problems?"
When it was learning about human emotions, it had seen a special warning: "Never interfere too much in other people's feelings, or you may end up becoming a clown."
The case is not much different from the situation Wei Dongning is currently facing.
It remembers it perfectly.
Wei Dongning shrugged almost imperceptibly: "I know, so I don't really intend to interfere too much. It's their life, and they need to work things out together gradually."
"That's good."
Su Yizhuo arrived at the garden shortly after receiving the news.
He had actually stayed in the mansion all day and knew of Wei Dongning's arrival.
However, because Zhong Shuyue had told him beforehand that she wanted to chat with Wei Dongning alone and didn't want him to be there, he chose to avoid her.
A servant came to report that Wei Dongning wanted to see him, and only then did he set off for the garden.
"Wei Xiaoning, are you two done talking?"
"Yes."
"Didn't you enjoy the chat? You look a bit down. Did you and Gu Peiyan have a fight these past few days?" Su Yizhuo sat down opposite her and asked with a frown.
Wei Dongning quickly waved her hand: "It has nothing to do with him. I asked you to come here because I want to ask you something."
"Go ahead."
"You didn't sleep in the bridal chamber the night you married Yueyue?"
Su Yizhuo seemed surprised that she asked so directly, and awkwardly turned his gaze slightly away: "Yes."
"You didn't say anything, you just grabbed the pillow and left?"
"I'm innocent! I already told you!" Su Yizhuo placed his hands on the stone table. "I explained it to her clearly: we'll develop our relationship slowly. I won't bully her right now, so we'll be sleeping in separate rooms for a while. Besides, how old is she? I can't really be a beast, can I?"
He wanted to emphasize again that he was a good young man of the 21st century, and he would never do anything illegal or disorderly.
This is his bottom line.
It's that little girl who's always eyeing his underwear.
He didn't know what to do either.
Wei Dongning felt relieved.
We really can't just listen to Zhong Shuyue's side of the story.
Luckily, she asked first, otherwise she would have wrongly accused Su Yizhuo.
Su Yizhuo was a smart man, and after hearing her two questions, he understood the crux of the matter: "Is she unhappy because of this?"
"Yes, she was crying so pitifully just now."
Su Yizhu hummed in agreement and beckoned to the guard standing not far away: "Go and have the kitchen prepare some of the Princess's favorite snacks and send them to her."
"Yes, Your Highness." The guard received the order and turned to leave.
Wei Dongning covered her mouth and chuckled, "It feels a little strange to hear someone call you 'Your Highness'."
She herself felt the same way when she said it just now.
It has a funny feel to it, like an acquaintance showing off in front of you.
Su Yizhu rolled his eyes at her speechlessly.
Just like he isn't.
He felt awkward when others called her "Mrs. Gu".
It took a long time to gradually get used to it.
He is still getting used to the title "Prince".
Wei Dongning finished laughing, straightened her expression, and met his gaze: "Brother, there must still be some misunderstanding between you and Yueyue. You should have a good talk with her."
"I know, don't worry. I won't let her suffer any injustice, no matter what."
"Okay, then I'll go back and check on Yueyue." Having achieved her goal, Wei Dongning got up and left the garden, not forgetting to remind him, "Brother, be sure to communicate promptly if there are any problems."
"Okay, you can go back now."
In the bedroom, Zhong Shuyue rested her chin on her hand and looked towards the door, eagerly waiting for Wei Dongning to return.
When Wei Dongning went to the garden just now, there was actually a moment when she wanted to go with her.
But reason told her that it was best for her to wait in the room at this time.
I wonder what they were talking about in the garden just now.
The maidservant, unable to bear it any longer, suggested, "Your Highness, would you like me to go and find out for you?"
After regaining her composure, Zhong Shuyue still chose to refuse: "No need."
When Wei Dongning pushed open the door again, Zhong Shuyue's eyes lit up.
He quickly stepped forward and took her arm: "Ningning, how are you?"
"I just gave him a good scolding for you." Wei Dongning deliberately put on a stern face, acting out the scene as if it were real.
This made Zhong Shuyue laugh.
The timely delivery of snacks by the servants was the icing on the cake, completely dispelling Zhong Shuyue's slight gloom.
Thinking about it carefully, apart from not sleeping together these past few days, he's been quite good to me.
On the way back to the Gu residence, Wei Dongning rubbed her sore temples.
Gu Peiyan is still the best.
“Ningbao, the way your good friend talks reminds me of two celebrities.”
"Who?"
"A very famous host, and a very famous actor."
They often say surprising things, causing people to unknowingly misunderstand the people they are talking about.
Wei Dongning chuckled inwardly, "To be honest, they really do look alike. But Yueyue might be a bit stronger."
After all, there might have been some problems with the relaying of those two information, and Zhong Shuyue's understanding was already flawed.
Upon arriving at the gate of the Gu residence, Wei Dongning saw someone standing there, waiting for her.
She immediately grabbed her skirt and ran towards him, disregarding her image: "Gu Peiyan, did you stand here specifically to wait for me to come back?"
"Slow down, don't fall." Gu Peiyan caught Wei Dongning who was rushing towards her, straightened her slightly crooked hairpin, and slowly led her into the mansion.
