The scumbag was secretly having an affair, while I was openly having an affair with the prince.

Chapter 93 A Sincere Confession

"I...I..." Ye Shijun, who was usually eloquent, suddenly stammered.

"What do you mean, 'you'? It's getting late, hurry back to the General's Mansion. If you really want to get married, I'll have your father find a matchmaker to help you choose one another day. The men of the Ye family never have to worry about not finding wives." Ye Shishu pulled him up from the chair and then hurried him out of the hall.

Just as his sister was about to push him out the door, Ye Shijun suddenly turned around, grabbed her shoulders with both hands, and his previously unfocused and helpless eyes suddenly became firm.

"Little sister, where is she? I don't want to marry any other wife, she is my wife, and I will only ever recognize her as my wife in this life!"

Ye Shishu covered her mouth and chuckled, "Second Brother, you've really fallen for her?"

From her smile, how could the astute Ye Shijun not realize that he had been tricked by his little sister? But he wasn't angry; instead, he nodded without hesitation, "Yes, I've fallen for her."

Ye Shishu blinked. "Then what do you like about your second sister-in-law? I can tell you that she's not very confident about her appearance. If you can't give me a reason, it probably won't be easy to win her over."

Ye Shijun lowered his eyes.

What do I like about her?

She pretended to be insecure and timid. Logically, he should have disliked such a hypocrite, but he saw in her hypocrisy a clear sense of right and wrong, her ability to adapt to circumstances, and her intelligence and rationality...

He used to act impulsively, recklessly, and without considering the consequences, even boasting that this was the spirit of a true man. But after being with her, he realized that people can have many facets.

If you don't do anything immoral or immoral, what's wrong with appropriately disguising yourself?

Besides, in private, she is lively, clever, confident, and decisive, all of which she shows for him. He should be even happier!

"Little sister!" Coming back to his senses, he looked at his sister's mischievous smile and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He quickly coaxed her, "Tell me quickly, and when your second brother brings her back, he'll give you all the private property he's accumulated over the years!"

"Pfft!" Ye Shishu couldn't help but burst out laughing, "You gave me all your private property, how are you going to support your second sister-in-law?"

"At worst, I'll bring your second sister-in-law to Prince Cheng's mansion for free meals from now on!" As he spoke, he looked up at his brother-in-law, who had been sitting in the hall drinking tea and watching the show, and grinned, "Your Highness, you shouldn't have any objections, right?"

The old man, “…”

Upon hearing this, Ye Shishu was so frightened that she quickly pushed him away, "Alright, alright... you should hurry up and go find your second sister-in-law, she's by the stream behind the Prince's Mansion!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Shijun grinned from ear to ear and took off running.

Hearing the sound of wheels behind him, Ye Shishu turned around and asked with a smile, "Your Highness, would you like to go and take a look?"

Yu Chi Lingfeng frowned slightly. "What's so interesting to see?"

"If you're not going, then I'll go by myself!" Ye Shishu said, turning to leave.

But suddenly my hand was grabbed.

She turned her head and looked at him again.

Without uttering a word, Yu Chi Ling rose from his wheelchair, then led her out of the hall, avoiding the guards, and out of the palace through a dark, deserted corner.

Beside the stream in the back mountain.

When Ye Shijun couldn't find the person he was looking for, he couldn't help but call out everywhere, "Mo'er? Mo'er, where are you? Mo'er, come out quickly! I have something to tell you! Come out quickly!"

"I'm here!"

Ye Shijun looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure emerge from behind the boulder.

He ran over excitedly, panting, and asked with a laugh, "Mo'er, what are you doing hiding here?"

Gu Simo said, "I wasn't hiding, I was sleeping!" By the moonlight, she stared at the sweat on Ye Shijun's face and asked somewhat uneasily, "You came to see me so late, is it because the matter hasn't been resolved?"

"It's all resolved! Everything is as we wished!" Ye Shijun couldn't help but share his joy with her. "Mo'er, now that 'Gu Simo' is dead, you've finally gotten rid of the Gu family! Moreover, Gu Yong has been demoted to a commoner, so he no longer has the opportunity to use our marriage to cause trouble for the General's Mansion!"

"Okay." Gu Simo smiled happily, "Then I should leave too! Since you came looking for me tonight, I'll go with you to the General's Mansion now to say goodbye to the General and the Eldest Young Master."

General?

The eldest son?

Her sudden change in address caused Ye Shijun's face to darken instantly.

Seeing him freeze and his expression inexplicably dim, Gu Simo raised her hand and waved it in front of his face, "Shi Jun, what's wrong? Why are you spacing out?"

Suddenly, Ye Shijun pulled her hand down and then hugged her tightly—

"Mo'er, what will I do if you leave? Can you stay? I'll help you change your identity, and we can stay and live a good life together, okay?"

"What kind of life are we living?" Gu Simo didn't push him away from his sudden embrace. She just looked up at him and said, "We're only getting married to deceive outsiders..."

"Bullshit!" Ye Shijun roared angrily before she could finish speaking, "You are my lawfully wedded wife, we even had a wedding ceremony!"

Not far away, hearing his roar, Ye Shishu broke out in a cold sweat, muttering under her breath, "Idiot second brother, how can you confess like that? He's afraid your sister-in-law won't be able to escape!"

Yu Chi Ling glanced at her sideways and suddenly spoke, "Doesn't this just prove that your second brother is deeply in love?"

Ye Shishu turned to look at him, and for some reason, blurted out, "Is this how you confess your feelings to someone you like?"

"Cough..." Yu Chi Ling turned his face away awkwardly.

Seeing his reaction, Ye Shishu's eyes darkened.

That woman named Ni Xiao was the one he cherished most; for her to ask such a question was simply asking for trouble…

the other side.

Gu Simo shrank back as he yelled at her, "What are you doing? Can't we talk this out?"

"No!" The thought of her leaving him ignited Ye Shijun's rage. He shouted into her ear, "Gu Simo, listen to me! I will not let you leave! I married you, I love you, and you will always be my woman!"

Gu Simo froze at his shout, then looked up at him again, asking uncertainly, "You like me? What do you like about me? Someone as ordinary as me would be rejected even if I were given away. What do you like about me?"

"I like it anywhere!" Ye Shijun touched her face, and in the instant he gazed into her dark eyes, he suddenly lowered his head and covered her lips with his.

This unexpected intimacy left Gu Simo frozen in place.

Just as Ye Shijun was afraid she wouldn't believe him and wanted to go further to prove his feelings, Gu Simo suddenly pushed him away.

"Mo'er..." Ye Shijun looked at him with a hurt expression. Could it be that he was just wishful thinking?

"You managed to kiss someone so ugly, it must have been tough for you!" Gu Simo covered her mouth and chuckled at him.

Suddenly, she raised her hand and touched behind her ear, tearing off a thin layer of skin from behind her ear until the entire piece of skin peeled off her face.
