Since Pei Shen and Ji Yunqing had arranged a scenario, Wen Yu and Pei Shen arrived at the Third Prince's Mansion unusually early. "Can I borrow your outer robe? I feel really uneasy in this dress."
Just before getting off the carriage, Wen Yu grabbed Pei Shen by the arm. Holding the corner of her skirt with one hand, she looked embarrassed.
[Just sitting in the carriage, our little sister's dress is almost falling apart. The stitching must have taken a lot of effort.]
[Oh, the road is so flat. Why is the carriage so bumpy? It's so hard to guess.]
[Does Pei the puppy have any more tricks up his sleeve? It makes me drool.]
"Sister-in-law, we're in public. If you get off the carriage in my robe, people are bound to talk." Pei Shen looked at Wen Yu with a hint of reluctance. He let out a soft sigh and said gently, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. No one will touch you."
Hearing this, Wen Yu pretended to be deep in thought. Finally, she forced a smile and nodded gently at Pei Shen. "I trust A Shen."
"Sister-in-law, what did you just call me?"
Hearing the address, Pei Shen froze. There was a faint glimmer of ecstasy in his eyes.
Wen Yu was taken aback for a moment, then showed a sweet smile. "A Shen. What's wrong? Don't you like it when I call you that?"
"How could I not? I like it when sister-in-law calls me that." Pei Shen's heart skipped a few beats. As if overwhelmed by the sudden joy, he said, "Can you call me that in private from now on?"
[Oh my, the sweetness is off the charts!]
[Our little sister is so good at it. She's making our Pei the puppy blush.]
Wen Yu didn't answer. She lowered her eyes and gently pushed him. "Let's get off. It's not good to leave the carriage parked at the door like this."
"Okay. I'll help sister-in-law get off the carriage." Pei Shen suppressed the smile on his lips, but his eyes were full of excitement.
He jumped off the carriage first, then fetched a footstool. Standing on one side, he courteously offered his hand to Wen Yu. "Hold my hand, sister-in-law. Be careful."
Pei Shen had a very pleasant voice. As he said this, his eyes were only on Wen Yu.
He looked as if he would cherish Wen Yu above all else.
A faint blush crept onto her face. Biting her lip, she reached out her hand. Her delicate fingers gently rested on Pei Shen's wrist. Then she bent down, lifted the hem of her skirt with the other hand, and carefully stepped onto the footstool.
The Wen family had always been a prominent family, and the ladies they raised were impeccable in terms of etiquette.
Just the way she got off the carriage was so elegant that it was hard to look away.
As she passed by Pei Shen, the fragrance on her body was carried by the wind and wafted into his nostrils.
He took an involuntary deep breath, his eyes full of contentment.
[Just smelling our little sister's fragrance makes me feel so good. No wonder you're so smitten with her.]
[What are you talking about? Who's smitten with whom?]
Wen Yu glanced at the bullet comments on the screen. The smile on her lips became even sweeter. She withdrew her hand after standing still, then turned to Pei Shen and gave him a gentle smile. "Thank you, brother."
Getting off the carriage meant appearing in public, so she naturally couldn't call him A Shen anymore.
This "brother" also highlighted the twisted and incestuous feelings in Pei Shen's heart.
His eyes darkened slightly, but an inexplicable grunt escaped from his throat. "It's my honor as a younger brother to serve sister-in-law."
Wen Yu pretended not to understand his hidden meaning. She lowered her eyes, looking innocent.
"Second Young Master Pei and his sister-in-law have arrived!"
After the guard announced their arrival in a loud voice, a maid stepped forward to lead them inside.
The Third Prince's Mansion was very elegantly decorated. There were rare flowers planted on both sides of the winding corridor, creating a beautiful view at every step without being tacky.
The maid lowered her head and led the way in front. Just as she was about to take them to the main hall, they ran into a group of servants carrying trays.
Wen Yu instinctively stepped aside to avoid them, but the leading maid seemed to have eyes on her feet. Even though Wen Yu had already dodged, her foot still accurately stepped on the corner of Wen Yu's skirt.
The gorgeous but shoddy dress instantly split from the waist with a tearing sound.
The maid lost her balance, and all the wine in her hand spilled in Wen Yu's direction. The fragrant grape wine trickled down from her neck.
"A Shen!" Wen Yu was startled. Her face turned pale with fright. She quickly covered herself with her hands.
She instinctively looked at Pei Shen. Her alluring fox-like eyes were filled with tears. She shrank back against the wooden pillar.
Her outer robe was torn, and her inner clothes inevitably slipped down, revealing a pair of fair and delicate shoulders like mutton fat.
As her skin came into contact with the air, Wen Yu shivered slightly.
"Forgive me, Lady Pei! It's this lowly maid's fault for being so clumsy and bumping into you!" The maid who had stepped on the skirt quickly knelt down. She hurriedly picked up the broken pieces of the glass wine jug on the ground. Seeing a piece of torn cloth on the ground, she paused. "Lady Pei, your dress..."
Hearing this, Pei Shen suddenly woke up. He quickly averted his gaze from Wen Yu's shoulders, then quickly took off his outer robe and draped it over her, covering her tightly.
"How do you do things? Sister-in-law and I are here at the Third Prince's Mansion to celebrate the prince's birthday today, and now you've ruined sister-in-law's dress!" Pei Shen pretended to be angry and scolded. Then he looked down at Wen Yu. "Don't be afraid, sister-in-law. There should be spare clothes in the Third Prince's Mansion for you to change into."
[He gets into character so quickly. If Pei the puppy were transported to modern times, he'd definitely be an A-list actor.]
[Oh, how do you do things? Didn't you and the Third Prince plan this? The Third Prince even secretly put medicine in the grape wine. The medicine will seep into the body through the skin. Now we're in for a good show.]
[No wonder our little sister is so popular. Who wouldn't want to bully her when she looks so pitiful and helpless?]
Wen Yu ignored the bullet comments. She shrank tightly against Pei Shen's side, gently tugging at his sleeve. She looked like a vulnerable young animal seeking protection.
"A Shen..." Wen Yu whispered. Tears were almost streaming down her eyes.
Her long, raven-black eyelashes fluttered slightly. Her powdered face looked even more delicate. There were still some deep red wine stains on her neck.
At first glance, it looked as if she had been severely bullied.
"Lady Pei, let me take you to change your clothes." The maid who had made the mistake said in a trembling voice.
Wen Yu didn't move. She just gently tugged at Pei Shen's sleeve. "A Shen, I don't feel well."
As she said this, she gently tugged at the cloth on her body. Her eyes looking at Pei Shen were full of helplessness, and the skin behind her ears gradually turned red.
Pei Shen had been her husband for so many days and nights. He clearly knew that this was a sign that Wen Yu was aroused.
He looked at the broken wine jug on the ground in disbelief. In an instant, he understood what was going on.
"A Shen, can we go home?" Wen Yu's voice was tinged with a hint of sobbing. Her fingers clutching Pei Shen's sleeve tightened slightly. She looked at him almost pleadingly, as if Pei Shen was her whole world. She could only trust and rely on him.
How dare Ji Yunqing drug her behind his back?
Pei Shen's hand on his side tightened secretly. Wen Yu's tears fell gently, but it was as if they were hitting his heart heavily.
She was so helpless, so pitiful...
What would Wen Yu think if she knew that he was also involved in today's incident?
Would these eyes full of trust never be able to tolerate him again?
Pei Shen felt a tightness in his chest. He almost instinctively wanted to agree to Wen Yu's request.
He wanted to take Wen Yu away and hide her, so that no one could ever soil her.
