Splendid Twins

Zhou Yu was silent for a long time. If Yaoyao was harmed by someone, he would definitely seek justice for her. But now that he had read the suicide note and his father's hint, some things should remain as they are...

"Then live well here, live brilliantly, live radiantly."

Si Yao turned her head and looked at him, her eyes gentle as she said:

"Just wait and see."

Zhou Yu remembered something and coughed lightly:

"Someone in the court suggested that you marry a foreign prince. My father and I suggest that you prepare early and find a good family to marry into..."

"Who? Me?"

Si Yao frowned slightly. Marriage? Isn't this always the job of a princess?

Whose relative? Whom to marry?

How come she doesn't have the life of a princess, but has to suffer the punishment of a princess?

"Which bastard suggested this? I'll kill him!"

Zhou Yu's eyes flashed with a smile, and he said seriously:

"It is said that they are from Prince Li's faction. His Majesty did not agree on the spot, but the emperor's mind is unpredictable, so it is better to make preparations early..."

"Prince Li? What does it have to do with him?"

"Zhou Wan is now the concubine of Prince Li."

A hint of surprise flashed in Si Yao's eyes when she heard that. Concubine?

"I don't think I have any grudge against her..."

Zhou Yu looked at Si Yao's doubts and reminded her implicitly:

"She had a falling out with her father, and now she even blames me. As for you, I'm afraid she hates you for taking her place. After all, she has suffered a lot since she was a child..."

"Stop! Is she a crazy woman? The whole world owes her an apology. I am also a victim. By the way, you are the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion. Haven't you found the person who did the evil back then?"

Si Yao's eyes were full of contempt. What the hell was going on? She knew Zhou Wan was looking for trouble with her. The five men on the mountain were the evidence. Some minor fights would be fine to vent her anger, but why was she trying to persuade her to marry?

There was a gloom in her eyes. She was just a concubine, but she dared to interfere in the court...

"I checked. This person is from the third house, Wei. My father wants to play the long game and catch the big fish. Behind her is the most favored Wei in the palace, and now she is the Royal Consort Wei. One move can affect the whole body. In addition, Your Majesty has been hesitant to appoint a crown prince. Prince Li has the most fame in the court. Even the prominent Zhenguogong Mansion has to stay out of the spotlight for the time being..."

"Just say that after weighing the pros and cons, you found that lying low is the best strategy. In addition, Zhou Wan and I don't have enough leverage, so you are forbearing in the matter of child exchange and will wait for an opportunity to benefit the Duke's Mansion before taking action, right?"

Zhou Yu admired Si Yao's intelligence and understood it immediately:

"You are very smart, indeed. The Western Rong have provoked you time and again, but Your Majesty is not prepared to fight and is only on the defensive. That is why the officials in the court who are on the side of Prince Li proposed that you marry the prince. Although my father immediately declined and Your Majesty also denied Prince Li's face in public, you must make plans as soon as possible."

Si Yao rolled her eyes when she heard this:

"Wei? Why did she do this? She must have a grudge against the first wife."

He narrowed his eyes slightly and thought about Wei, a smiling tiger, a woman who could be so cruel.

Zhou Yu opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything about the scandal about his father. He just said in a muffled voice:

"Father will take care of it. I don't know the details. I only know that Mrs. Wang and Zhou Wan came to look for their relatives with the token. It was all secretly instructed by her."

"Isn't this considered a grudge? She traded the child away, raised him to death, and then sent him to be recognized as her own. By then, she would cause unrest in the family, and then she could profit from it. Or maybe it's just pure revenge. I'm afraid your mother would want to kill her!"

Zhou Yu nodded. Indeed, he and his father went out that day. When his mother learned the truth, she was so angry that she rushed to the courtyard of the third room with her father's sword and almost killed the woman...

If his grandmother hadn't stopped him, he and his father would have returned with both sides wounded...

The two of them were silent for a long time, and Zhou Yu found a new topic:

"I'm married. You can meet me if you have a chance."

Si Yao was not interested:

"Congratulations, there's no need to meet."

"I am your brother after all, so why don't you give me a wedding?"

Si Yao smiled playfully:

"I have a talisman for having many children and grandchildren. Do you want it?"

Zhou Yu's face froze when he heard this, then turned pale and said angrily:

"Yes, why not!"

He thought of his wedding night with the Crown Prince's wife... The two of them were confused about the situation, which made her cry out loud. He thought that he, a dignified Crown Prince, was actually despised by his wife. It would be best if she got pregnant at once to avoid her suffering...

Si Yao couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"I see that your eyebrows are broad and straight, and your philtrum is clear and deep. This is a sign of a prosperous offspring. Giving you a talisman would be redundant. Instead, I will give your wife a peace talisman."

Zhou Yu knew her abilities and laughed after hearing what she said:

"Are all the people there as naughty as you?"

"Don't be envious, I'm just an ordinary beauty."

"Hehehe."

Si Yao turned her wrist and a golden talisman appeared on her palm: "Here, take it back and let her carry it close to her body."

Zhou Yu took it, glanced at it and said:

"My amulet is gone."

Last time, when he took it out in the Soul-Trapping Formation, it turned into ashes. I don’t know when it helped him to avoid a disaster.

Si Yao snorted softly: "Here you go, take it."

"Thanks. I have something for you too."

Zhou Yu pulled down the pouch at his waist, opened it and took out a piece of thin paper:

"This is my private residence outside the city. You know the place. I'll transfer it to you as your personal property after marriage."

Seeing this, Si Yao smiled and said, "I still have the jade token of your bank. I appreciate your kindness, but you can take the things back."

Zhou Yu reached out and grabbed her wrist. His face suddenly became serious and he said in a serious tone:

"Zhou Yao is my beloved sister. Zhou Wan, I also think about her often because of our blood relationship. Only you, Si Yao, are played by fate. I don't blame you. On the contrary, I want to win you over and please you. If one day in the future the Duke's Mansion is about to collapse, I hope you can help save it."

Si Yao pulled back her hand, with a strange look in her eyes:

"So you're raising fish!"

"what?"

"How could you have predicted that this day would come?"

Zhou Yu lowered his head and smiled bitterly:

"I hope this day will never come. This is not only my wish, but also my father's."

Si Yao sighed imperceptibly:

"This is too troublesome."

How could she decide the undercurrents between the court and the powerful?

"Let's talk later. I'm going back first."

Zhou Yu grabbed her and said in a strong manner:

"Here, I'm on a business trip and won't be back for a while. Let me feel at ease."

Seeing him say that, Si Yao took it over:

"Okay, I wish you a safe journey."

After saying this, he turned around and left without any hesitation. His carefree look made Zhou Yu chuckle.

"Remember my words and make arrangements as soon as possible."

Si Yao didn't look back, but walked forward and just stretched out her hand and shook it to indicate that she understood.

Find a man to marry. Listen to how vicious these words are. If she wants a pretty face, she has the means; if she wants a status, she has the space; if she wants fame, she has the strength. Ha, what is coming is coming. There is no point in hiding!
