187 Fate is Laughing (2/2)

”It's well trained to send messages.” Wei Lian said and Wei Yi Yi brightened.

No way, isn't my brother here? Maybe she could resign one way or another.

As if having one mind, Wei Lian added, ”If you got tired of the palace, just send us a notice.”

Even if divorce is impossible, Wei Lian could plan a hundred ways how to fake a death.

”Bro…” Wei Yi Yi expressed, full of sentiments.

”Ah! Ah!”Jiang Liu interrupted. They were ignoring his existence! ”Th-that's a joke, right? Hahaha--cough! What a funny joke.”

So dangerous!

On the road, Jiang Yu rode on horseback beside Wei Yi Yi's carriage. Both of them are wearing a hardened face.

They haven't properly talked after that night.

In the midst of their intense moment, both were overcome with shock as confusion cleared in their mind.

His wife, who finally learned to be magnanimous as a virtue, actually learned the crooked way and was sending him to someone else's bed!

All of his tolerance and patience evaporated at that moment and the two argue!

Wei Yi Yi's breathing almost stopped at that moment. Ye Ai Ning, your sweetheart, was reduced to 'someone'! She was so mad she was laughing.

Their brain capacity was then reduced to a 10 years old, pointing at each other and questioning their actions.

”We need an adult!”

”We are adults!” Jiang Yu countered. There was no way he would let his so-called father-in-law meddle.

Wei Yi Yi, nearly turning violent, ”A mature adult!”

'Or I might end you right here and now!'

On the other hand, Tang Mei got scared seeing them fight for the first time. Fearing the incoming rumors, she guarded the courtyard with her life. Glaring the other servants until they bit their tongues.

Finally, a servant reported that the missing young nobles were found and Jiang Yu was taken to deal with the aftermath. As for Wei Yi Yi, she busied herself with making sure no accident would happen to Shen Nian Zhen on the way back and rearranging all previous arrangements.

At that time, Su Mei Fan lingered around Wei Yi Yi with tears filled eyes that finally, Wei Yi Yi passed her a box full of food and tossed the baton to Xie Yu.

Xie Yu stared at the wooden box and replied positively without breaking eye contact. She took Su Mei Fan away, though it looks like Su Mei Fan was only an accessory to the food Xie Yu was taking away.

”Zhen could only wrong the empress and ask her to perform well.” Jiang Yu said sarcastically, glancing at Wei Yi Yi inside the carriage.

”What's there to feel wronged? Standing beside his majesty, is chenqie, as the empress, duty.” Wei Yi Yi replied with an amiable smile.

The attitude she showed was so impeccable that there's no greater empress suitable to replace Wei Yi Yi.

And it was because she was good at it that Jiang Yu slowly understood and felt cold.

Sometimes, people like to dig holes themselves.

At the door of his palace, 'Wei Yi Yi' crossed the threshold in a bright red gown, a stunning crown, and a status envied by most. Her face burning in happiness carrying the innocence of a newly wedded wife. 'Finally', she whispered in tears. Under her vile, she saw his extended hands and she, with her heart set, firmly held the hand of her husband.

She waited at the bridal chamber as a wife while Jiang Yu married as an emperor, receiving her with calculating eyes.

There is no love between a husband and wife within the palace, he thought so as he turned and left at their wedding night.

In the days that passed, Jiang Yu crossed by the palace pavilion, his eyes attracted by her flowing light red robes. The simple days, the silent days, as well as the melodious days that ended with laughter, it all burns in his memory. 'Finally', he sighed in ease. Behind the memorials and books, he lifted his eyes and saw her near, silently accompanying him and sometimes talking

He reached for the hand of his wife while Wei Yi Yi stood by his side as his employed empress, doing her job in keeping the harem in order.

There's no love between a husband and wife within the palace, she realized as she accepted her newfound life inside the palace.

Surely, the gods were so bored that they decided to entangle people in a so-called fate.
