Chapter 76 The Kitten's Revenge
It's just living as a kitten for a week, can't I even eat snacks?
It admitted it!
Besides, it's still uncertain who will win or lose in the end.
These past few days, it has been making a few extra trips back to the Time Travel Bureau to pay its respects to all the gods and Buddhas.
Give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle.
If it wins in the end, it will get double the snacks.
Wei Dongning was quite satisfied with the speed at which Xiao Wu slid down on his knees.
He reached out and patted the cat's head twice: "You're smart to know what's good for you."
It wasn't until just before going to bed that night that Xiao Wu realized something very serious.
It's a system, after all!
Why should it back down?
It was so angry that it lay in its cat bed and circled around several times, scratching its butt repeatedly, but it still couldn't calm down.
Finally, unable to contain his anger, he ran to Wei Dongning and Gu Peiyan's bed and let out an incredibly smelly fart in front of them.
Then, with cat-like steps, she returned to her little nest, her back to them, concealing her merits and fame.
As for Gu Peiyan, who was implicated...
He wasn't entirely innocent either, since Ningbao was his wife.
Husbands and wives are like birds in the same forest; they will naturally share both joy and sorrow.
Wei Dongning was half asleep when she was directly woken up by the smell of that fart.
He gagged twice in disgust.
She nudged Gu Peiyan, who was still fast asleep beside her, and said, "Wake up, can't you smell the stench?"
Gu Peiyan opened her sleepy eyes and it took her a long time to process what was happening before her mind cleared up again.
The smell still lingered in the small space.
Gu Peiyan gagged as she lifted the bed curtains and got out of bed, pushing open the tightly closed window to let in the cold but fresh air.
The rapid change in temperature made him sneeze.
The room temperature suddenly dropped, and Wei Dongning felt much better.
At least for now, her breathing is smooth.
Only after the stench had completely dissipated did Gu Peiyan close the window again.
Wei Dongning squinted, gritting her teeth as she looked at Xiao Wu's sleeping back.
That brat, she should have given him a good beating this afternoon.
After returning to bed, Gu Peiyan embraced Wei Dongning and lay down, gently patting her back with his large, comforting hand: "Don't be angry, it's not worth ruining your health."
"Gu Peiyan, I've noticed you're spoiling Xiao Wu a little too much?"
Like an overprotective father who spoils his child without any limits.
But that's not right!
Gu Peiyan's voice was low and husky as she gently coaxed, "Xiao Wu is just a cat, and at most, it can only accompany us for a dozen or so years. What's wrong with letting it do whatever it wants? Hmm?"
Even if Wei Dongning had a great deal of anger, she couldn't vent it now.
Although reason kept telling her that Xiao Wu was a system, immortal and indestructible.
But Gu Peiyan's mention of the past ten years still stirred up tears in her eyes.
Nestled in Gu Peiyan's arms, her voice was muffled as she said, "Let's go to sleep."
The second day of the Lunar New Year is traditionally the day when married daughters return to their parents' home.
Gu Peiyan and Wei Dongning returned to the Marquis's residence with a car full of gifts.
Surprisingly, Su Yizhuo was also there.
They even arrived earlier than them.
After wishing Wei Liangzhe and Bai Suyun a Happy New Year and chatting with them for a while, Wei Dongning finally regained her freedom.
Just as he was about to go back to his own courtyard to rest, Su Yizhuo blocked his way again.
Wei Dongning raised an eyebrow at the man in front of her, who had become even thinner: "Nao Nao, why do you look like you've been drained dry by leeches? Is the food in the palace bad?"
"Damn it!" Su Yizhu couldn't help but swear, "You have no idea that I can't rest until New Year's Eve! You heartless little thing, you don't even bother to comfort me."
"I need to be able to see you too. How can I comfort you if I can't even find you? Are we supposed to rely on some kind of telepathic connection that doesn't even exist between us?"
Wei Dongning suspected that he was exhausted.
You can't even figure out something this simple.
Su Yizhu slapped his forehead: "I forgot."
Without communication tools, it's really difficult to get in touch.
Su Yizhuo hadn't finished complaining when someone stuck to Wei Dongning like glue.
Helpless, he could only use his status as the brother-in-law to put pressure on her: "Gu Peiyan, I need to talk to my sister alone for a while, you are not allowed to come with me."
Gu Peiyan frowned slightly, but still agreed.
He whispered to Wei Dongning, "Come back soon."
Wei Dongning originally intended to tell Wei Xiuming about the meeting between Wen Yuzhu and that mysterious man at the restaurant that day.
However, Su Yizhuo caught her first.
She had no choice but to entrust this important task to Gu Peiyan: "Go and tell my brother about that matter. I'll come find you after I've finished talking to him."
After Gu Peiyan walked away, Su Yizhuo said sourly, "You two are really getting along well now. I'm starting to ship you two."
"Me and him? Were we close?" Wei Dongning looked at him suspiciously. "Have you been working yourself to the bone lately and gotten nearsighted?"
"Don't you think he's as obedient as a dog in front of you?"
At least that's how he feels now.
She did whatever she was told.
Even if they have complaints, they will still complete the tasks she assigns them first.
What's the difference between this and a well-trained dog?
"And I also heard that he bought you a cat to appease you."
This statement isn't entirely correct, but it's at least half right.
Wei Dongning kept her mouth shut and remained silent.
Su Yizhuo continued, "I also heard that you made him a bowl of noodles. I've never even tried your noodles. How can you say your relationship isn't good?"
"Wait a minute." Wei Dongning noticed something was wrong: "How do you know what happened at the Gu residence? Did you plant a spy next to me?"
"Absolutely not!"
Su Yizhuo is willing to vouch for this with his personal integrity.
He cares about his sister, but not to the point of being abnormal.
I only found out a little by asking her maid, Xiao Fu.
"Okay, I'll trust you this once. Where's my red envelope?"
"I'll give it to you after you've finished chatting with me."
He had a lot of grievances to vent, and if he didn't use a red envelope to keep her hooked, she would definitely take the red envelope and leave.
"...Let's find a place to sit and chat."
Su Yizhuo had a lot to complain about, and he kept repeating the things the Crown Prince had done to him.
Wei Dongning would listen to him every time she saw him, and her ears were already calloused from hearing it so much.
But she still chose to grit her teeth and continue listening.
The reason is that whenever she tries to interrupt, Su Yizhuo will put on a bitter and resentful look, clutch his chest, and ask her if she doesn't want him as her brother anymore.
Then he talked about how hard it was for him to raise her all by himself.
Wei Dongning had no choice but to surrender.
She made a huge sacrifice for a red envelope.
Following Wei Dongning's instructions, Gu Peiyan found Wei Xiuming, who was practicing shooting.
I told him what I had seen and heard on New Year's Eve.
Wei Xiuming leaned on his spear and pondered for a long time.
If someone else had said this, he might not have believed it.
But Gu Peiyan, who never lies, is someone he has no choice but to believe.
Wei Xiuming's expression was solemn: "Okay, I understand. Thank you for telling me this."
Gu Peiyan shook her head: "If it weren't for A Ning wanting to hear the flower drum opera, neither she nor I would have heard this news. So, elder brother, you should thank A Ning; I'm just here to relay her message."
