Su Tang lashed out with her whip and then pretended to sigh in regret. "Ah, I let the princess escape."
Devil, this was a devil!
Princess Yuyang had always had her way, living wildly and freely. She had never been so embarrassed before. Her eyes almost burst into flames, but she was no match for Su Tang. "Guards! Come protect me!"
The guards naturally came, but someone stopped them.
If it were an ordinary person, it would be fine, but the one who stopped them was Wei Kuei, the God of War. Who would dare to challenge him?
The leader of the guards was in a dilemma and tried to reason with him. To his surprise, Wei Kuei said coldly, "My wife hasn't finished hitting her yet."
Su Tang's sudden fight with the princess had already shocked many people. Now, Wei Kuei's words made everyone's expressions change.
Weren't they supposed to be sworn enemies? Why did Marquis Wei's words sound inexplicably doting?
It must be that they had drunk too much wine just now and their minds were muddled.
The commotion was so loud that it finally alarmed Duke Ying. It was Old Madam's birthday banquet after all, and she was old. They couldn't let her deal with this farce. However, Duke Ying also had a headache. Princess Yuyang was arrogant and domineering, and both the Empress and the Emperor doted on her very much. But the other party was also doted on by Marquis Yongchang, whom even the Emperor and Empress had to be wary of.
Duke Ying was at the center of the political circle, so he could naturally smell the danger. The current Marquis Yongchang's power was no less than the Emperor's. If he wanted to, he even had a chance of winning if he rebelled.
Of course, these words could only be thought of in his heart. No one dared to say them out loud.
"Marquis Wei, it's Old Madam's birthday banquet. Could you give us some face?"
Duke Ying was in his forties, but he had to lower his head to Wei Kuei, a junior.
Wei Kuei glanced at him and didn't make things difficult. "Since Duke Ying has spoken, I must give you face." He had long seen that Su Tang was holding back. Otherwise, with Yuyang's skills, how could she have escaped until now?
However, her skills were too familiar, so familiar that his hands under his wide robe were trembling.
Wei Kuei was never a hesitant person. If he had a guess, he would put it into action. For example, at this moment, he personally stepped forward to stop them, but deliberately didn't make a sound. Instead, he quietly approached. By the time Su Tang reacted, she had subconsciously started fighting with him.
Fortunately, her eyes weren't blind. After just one exchange, she took a step back.
With just one move, Wei Kuei's heart couldn't calm down for a long time. In the three years in the Northwest, he had known the Little Dwarf for three years. From the first time they met, their relationship was actually very tense. He even wanted to kill the Little Dwarf at one point. But later, he didn't know when it started, but he gradually got used to the Little Dwarf being by his side. In the end, it became so natural that he didn't realize it until he lost her.
He was muddleheaded for several months and even implicated countless people in order to find out the cause of her death. The commotion was so great that even the Emperor summoned him back to the capital. He was about to find out those culprits and avenge her, but what was this now?
He had been with the Little Dwarf day and night, and he was very familiar with her scent. Although Shao Yang had the fragrance of a daughter, if one smelled more carefully, one could smell the familiar fragrance.
In the past, he laughed at himself for being feminine, but now that he thought about it, the Little Dwarf seemed to have never said whether she was male or female. It was just that she always dressed in rags, and he had always thought that girls loved beauty and wouldn't dress like that.
The fog cleared, and Wei Kuei's fingers were trembling, as if his soul was also trembling slightly.
No, he shouldn't be happy so early. He still had to be cautious to avoid being used.
While Wei Kuei's inner emotions underwent earth-shattering changes, Su Tang's mind was even more lively.
"Ding, Blackening Value decreased by 20%, current Blackening Index: 75%."
"Ding, Blackening Value decreased by 10%, current Blackening Index: 65%."
"Ding, Blackening Value increased by 5%, current Blackening Index: 70%."
Su Tang's face was full of confusion. Wait, why was there such a big fluctuation? What was wrong with him?
However, Wei Kuei's expression was unreadable. However, when he saw Su Tang looking over, he slowly curled his lips into a gentle and… eerie smile.
"Since when did my wife have such skills?"
Su Tang looked at him warily, feeling that the male lead was strange at the moment.
"The doctor said that I was unwell and should exercise properly. I had nothing to do, so I found a master to practice my skills."
The people in the other courtyard had been trustworthy for the past three years, so she wasn't afraid of him investigating.
However, at this point, it didn't matter whether Wei Kuei investigated or not.
Yuyang had just experienced a life-and-death situation. At this moment, she stopped and her feet were trembling a little. However, when she realized that it was Wei Kuei who had saved her, her eyes lit up. "Brother Wei Kuei, she whipped me!" She rushed forward coquettishly, trying to hug him and tell him about her grievances.
But who would have thought that Wei Kuei would gently dodge and just watch her fall to the ground coldly.
"Princess, men and women are different." He straightened his clothes and smiled harmlessly. "Besides, my wife is still here."
Yuyang was inexplicably thrown to the ground and was so angry that she cried. "So what if she's here? She's just a promiscuous woman. What is she?!"
Only then did Wei Kuei remember how many green hats his good wife had given him in the past three years. Even now, she didn't shy away from it and even wanted to divorce him!
"Ding, Blackening Value increased by 10%, current Blackening Index: 80%."
Su Tang was really baffled. Wait, she didn't do anything. Why did it increase again?
As expected, a man's heart was like the bottom of the ocean, and the male lead's heart was unfathomable.
Forget it, she didn't want to guess anymore. Whatever.
"Princess Yuyang, watch your words." Wei Kuei's harmlessness vanished, and he suddenly became terrifying. "If I hear any more slander about the wife of Marquis Yongchang, don't blame me for being rude next time."
Su Tang didn't take it seriously when she was inexplicably defended. After all, if he didn't defend her, his green hat would be firmly on his head, the kind that couldn't be taken off.

Marquis Wei, this is your green hat. Please keep it safe.
