Chapter 145
Wei Zhou looked at Yin Hui in disbelief as she pulled the quilt up to cover her face and really closed her eyes.
Sleep, how could he be in the mood to sleep at this moment?
She actually believed what Ji said behind his back, and really thought there was something fishy going on between him and his cousin!
No wonder she seemed concerned before he left for Shaoxing. It turned out that she guessed that he would visit his cousin on the way and was worried that he and his cousin would rekindle their old love?
"My cousin and I only have a brother-sister relationship. I treat her no differently than my second and third sisters. You shouldn't believe the rumors."
Wei Ruo said with a serious face.
He refused to go to sleep and blamed her again. Yin Hui laughed angrily, opened her eyes, and said to the bed, "If it wasn't just one person who said that, how would I know it was a rumor? Seeing is believing, but I am of low status and not qualified to be a guest at Prince Yan's Mansion. How could I have the opportunity to observe with my own eyes whether you smiled gently at your cousin?"
Wei Ruo's expression became even colder. It wasn't just one person who was sowing discord. Apart from Ji, who else could it be?
The eldest sister-in-law and the third sister are not the kind of people who gossip. The only one who is close to Ji is the second sister Wei Shan.
What benefit would it gain for these two people to collude to deceive her?
It's nothing more than looking down on her and deliberately making up rumors to embarrass her.
After her anger, Wei Ruo suddenly realized her real situation when she first married into the Prince of Yan's Mansion.
He knew that his eldest and second sisters-in-law might look down on her in their hearts, but he didn't know that one of them, in addition to being arrogant, would actually use such despicable means to bully her.
If she had come to him to complain about her grievances, Wei Ruo would have definitely clarified the rumors and taught Ji and Wei Shan a lesson, but she didn't say a word.
Why not say it?
Because she was afraid of him. She was afraid of his coldness. Then she believed the rumor and misunderstood that he had someone in his heart. How could she dare to speak?
Wei Ruo lay down and held her in his arms, covering her with the quilt.
He hugged her tightly, his broad shoulders pressing slightly against her, his breath falling behind her ears.
Just as Yin Hui was wondering what he was going to do, Wei Ruo whispered in her ear, "When we got engaged, I was only twenty. My elder brother and second brother both married ladies from famous families, but my father made me marry you. I was indeed dissatisfied."
"This dissatisfaction has nothing to do with you. I misunderstood that my father did not value me."
"After you married me, I was indeed taciturn, but I have always been like this. I am not showing disapproval to you. You should know that I am also like this in front of my father, the emperor and my mother."
"Ah Hui, you have reason to misunderstand me, but I have never disliked you because of your background."
"I know you don't want to marry me voluntarily. If you could choose, you would probably marry someone as gentle as jade."
The most beloved daughter of the richest man in Yan, except that she is not from a famous family, her food, clothing and other expenses will be better than those of the Ji family. However, because of marrying him, she suffered so much grievance.
