My rigid, jealous husband has fallen for me, even though I'm a hopeless romantic.

Chapter 192 Not Jealous

Gu Peiyan could tell from Su Yizhuo's expression that he couldn't possibly be concerned about her.

But he's become more accepting of it now.

After all, it's normal for someone to care about their cousin.

Moreover, he was now absolutely certain that his Ah Ning had absolutely no feelings for the Second Prince.

Thinking this way, Gu Peiyan's hostility towards Su Yizhuo lessened considerably.

Su Yizhuo was still worried.

After standing there for a moment and thinking, he pointed at Imperial Physician Xue and said, "You and I will go out of the palace together later."

"Yes, Your Highness." Imperial Physician Xue, though puzzled, obediently followed behind Su Yizhuo.

Wei Dongning was sound asleep during her nap when she was woken up by a series of footsteps from Xiao Fu.

I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and silently counted to three before I could suppress my morning grumpiness.

She opened her eyes and looked at Xiao Fu with a mournful expression: "Didn't we agree that I was going to sleep?"

Why is it so hard to sleep in?

Xiao Fu looked troubled: "Young Madam, His Highness the Second Prince is waiting for you in the reception room. Besides His Highness, there is also an imperial physician accompanying him."

Upon hearing that it was Su Yizhuo who had come to see her, Wei Dongning resignedly got out of bed.

She let Xiao Fu help her with her hair and makeup.

He muttered under his breath, "What's he doing bringing the imperial physician?"

"Perhaps the Second Prince is taking the imperial physician on business and will stop by to see you?" Xiao Fu guessed boldly as she helped her put her hair up.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she met Wei Dongning's gaze and realized how absurd she had said.

"Let's go take a look."

Xiao Wu was half asleep and didn't notice what was happening, so she followed behind them.

Upon seeing Su Yizhuo sitting in the reception room, he instantly perked up.

I ran around him for a while, but didn't see Xiao Sanhua. So I reluctantly found a place to lie down next to him, and my enthusiasm was nothing compared to before.

Su Yizhuo scooped it into his arms and stroked its soft fur: "Uncle will take you to play with Xiaohua in a couple of days, don't rush. There are more important things to do today."

He then instructed Imperial Physician Xue: "Please trouble Imperial Physician Xue to take a look at Ningning."

Xiao Hua is the name Su Yizhuo gave to Xiao Sanhua.

He originally intended to name it according to the generational order of the royal children, but after seeing the Emperor and Consort Wei's utterly speechless expressions, he abandoned the idea.

After learning his purpose, Wei Dongning secretly glared at him from an angle that no one else could see, but in the end she still placed her wrist on the hand pillow that Physician Xue had taken out.

In fact, my back molars were almost crushed.

If Imperial Physician Xue diagnoses anything, wouldn't she have to spend her days and nights with medicine again?

Fortunately, Physician Xue's answer satisfied her greatly: "Madam Gu is in good health and has no problems."

When Wei Dongning learned that she wouldn't have to drink those bitter medicinal soups, she couldn't suppress the smile on her face: "Thank you for making this trip, Physician Xue."

"This is all my duty, Madam Gu, there's no need for you to be so polite."

"Alright, it's good that everything is alright. I just happened to come and check on things. You go ahead and do what you need to do. Physician Xue and I will be leaving now."

With Physician Xue's assurance, Su Yizhuo was finally relieved.

The main reason is that although Wei Dongning has a new body, the image of her weak body from her previous life is still deeply rooted in his mind. Whenever there is any disturbance, he worries about whether her body can handle it.

Wei Dongning personally saw them both out the door.

Incidentally, he snatched back Xiao Wu, which Su Yizhuo had secretly hidden in his arms and wanted to take away.

Su Yizhuo was unconvinced and even tried to snatch Xiao Wu back: "What's wrong with me taking Xiao Wu to the palace to enjoy a couple of days of bliss? Besides, there's Xiao Hua in the palace, who can keep Xiao Wu company."

“Then bring Xiaohua here with you, and I won’t let her suffer.”

"No, I can't bear to part with my daughter."

"You think you can bear to part with me just because you can't?"

Xiao Wu was already used to the bickering between the siblings, and even Xiao Fu could now ignore it.

Imperial Physician Xue was a clever man; when he saw Wei Dongning snatch the cat from Su Yizhuo, he had already walked to the carriage first.

Pretend you don't exist.

Xiao Wu burrowed tightly into Wei Dongning's arms, its little paws gripping her clothes firmly: "Ningbao, I don't want to go with him! Help!"

If Wei Dongning's cat-loving behavior was abnormal, then Su Yizhuo's behavior towards Xiao Wu was absolutely insanely abnormal.

I have to force Xiaohua to sleep with me every night, but she just can't get used to it.

Seeing that he really couldn't take Xiao Wu with him this time, Su Yizhuo pouted and turned to leave.

If it doesn't work this time, try again next time.

Wei Dongning, still in a good mood, held up Xiao Wu's paw and waved it twice at Su Yizhuo's back: "Baby, say goodbye to your uncle."

Enraged, Su Yizhuo quickened his pace as he walked toward the carriage.

Of course, Wei Dongning also received Xiao Wu's flesh cushion attack.

It's because she got the advantage.

When Gu Peiyan returned home from the Censorate, Wei Dongning was playing cards with Xiao Fu.

Upon seeing him return, Xiao Fu quickly pulled the note off his face.

In contrast, Wei Dongning remained calm, flicking the note off her face and inviting Gu Peiyan and Qian Rong, "Come play together?"

"No, thank you," Gu Peiyan shook her head. "There are still some things to take care of. You and Xiao Fu play first. I'm going to the study."

"Okay, then you can go ahead and get busy."

Gu Peiyan nodded, then, as if remembering something, turned to look at her: "Father is off tomorrow. He said he'll go directly to the estate to see Aunt after finishing his work today, and won't be back for the next two days."

“I know, my father sent someone back to deliver the message.”

A few days ago, Gu Shuang missed her young grandchildren, so she returned to the Tang family home with gifts she had prepared for them, wanting to visit them.

The person did see it, but also received a barrage of sarcastic remarks from their own son.

The inevitable outcome was that Gu Shuang returned home heartbroken.

After learning about this, Wei Dongning felt that she should go to the estate to check on Gu Shuang's situation, both out of courtesy and reason.

However, Gu Shuang declined all offers, citing physical discomfort.

Therefore, Gu Song decided to take advantage of his day off to see his silly younger sister.

After playing two more rounds with Xiao Fu, Wei Dongning didn't want to play anymore. She put all her cards on the table, put her hands behind her back, and strolled into Gu Peiyan's study.

Seeing that he was still engrossed in his official duties, she did not disturb him. She casually picked up a storybook that she had left there and sat on the chaise lounge not far from him to read it.

When I see something interesting, I instinctively reach out to grab a piece of pastry and put it in my mouth.

I reached out and found nothing, then realized I wasn't in my own room.

Gu Peiyan caught a glimpse of her movement out of the corner of her eye and chuckled softly.

She got up and placed the snacks from her desk on the low table next to her.

After feeding him one piece, Wei Dongning picked up the second piece and put it in her own mouth: "Gu Peiyan, my cousin came to the mansion today."

"I know."

"You're surprisingly calm this time." In the past, Gu Peiyan would get jealous for a long time every time she met Su Yizhuo.

She's so calm today, it's almost unbelievable.

"Your Highness came to inquire about your health; I'm so happy for you."

Wei Dongning cupped his face in shock, turning him around to look at him: "Are you still the Gu Peiyan I know?"

In Wei Dongning's mind, Xiao Wu spoke with a hint of "disdain": "Absolutely the real deal. Right now, your brother poses absolutely no threat to your Gu Peiyan."

Gu Peiyan grabbed her hand, took out her silk handkerchief, and wiped the crumbs off her hands: "Of course I am still me."

Wei Dongning withdrew her hand, took another pastry from the plate, and commented, "What a philosophical statement."

Xiao Wu couldn't stand it anymore, so he left with the words, "You two are really good at telling lame jokes."

It's better to skip this kind of spectacle.

Two days before Su Yizhuo and Zhong Shuyue's wedding, Zhong Shuyue sent Wei Dongning a wedding invitation.

At this moment, Su Yizhuo was sitting in the garden of the Gu residence.

Upon seeing the visiting card, he raised an eyebrow in confusion: "What is it?"

Wei Dongning leaned against Gu Peiyan, relaxed, and after reading the contents of the visiting card, smiled knowingly: "Same as yours."
