After the marriage, the disabled war king was spoiled by me

Du Yunsheng smiled and shook his head gently: "Do you think that the reason why I can feel so at ease is because I don't know that you will tell father? No, I already expected you to do so. But do you think father will believe you or me?"

Du Yuwei's face turned pale in an instant, her lips trembled, but she couldn't utter a word.

At this time, an old lady slowly walked out from behind the screen of Prince Jing's Mansion. It was Jiang Shaohan's mother. Looking at the two of them, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

She walked forward and said softly, "Yun Sheng, aren't you going too far by doing this? Although Yu Wei is your stepsister, she is sincere after all."

Du Yunsheng turned his head and looked at the old woman, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes: "Mother, I understand what you mean. But please remember that not everyone in this world can be treated with sincerity. Sometimes, we have to learn to protect ourselves."

The old woman sighed softly and said no more.

Du Yuwei looked at Du Yunsheng with a hint of fear in her eyes. She had completely lost.

She bit her lip, trying to calm herself down, and then said, "Okay, I understand. From now on, I will never disturb your life again."

Du Yunsheng smiled slightly, the mockery in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a hint of pity: "You should have done this a long time ago."

……

In Prince Jing's mansion, the warm spring sun shines through the window lattice, onto the delicate rosewood furniture, casting a faint luster. Du Yunsheng sits by the window, holding an ancient book in her hands, looking demure. Suddenly, she hears footsteps, looks up, and sees Zheng Zhuoling and Du Yuwei and his wife walking in side by side.

Du Yuwei had a flattering smile on her face and said softly, "Sister, Zhuo Ling and I came here specially to see you. How are you feeling recently?"

Du Yunsheng smiled slightly, put down the book in his hand, and said, "Thank you for your concern, sister. I am in good health. You came here specially today, is there anything you want to ask?"

Zheng Zhuoling immediately said, "It's nothing, actually. My husband and I have always wanted to find an opportunity to get closer to my sister. After all, we are a family."

Du Yunsheng's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible indifference, but his tone remained calm: "Then let's have a good chat."

The three of them sat down as host and guest, Du Yuwei and Du Yunsheng chatted about family matters, while Zheng Zhuoling interrupted from time to time, trying to attract Du Yunsheng's attention. However, Du Yunsheng didn't seem interested and just responded indifferently.

Suddenly, Du Yuwei changed the subject and said, "Sister, do you know? Recently, it has been widely rumored in the capital that His Royal Highness Prince Jing is going to give a priceless jade pendant to a meritorious official. I guess this jade pendant will definitely end up in your hands."

Du Yunsheng smiled slightly and said, "Sister, you are too kind. I have only heard about the jade pendant. As for whether it can fall into my hands, it depends on the intention of His Royal Highness Prince Jing."

Zheng Zhuoling's eyes flashed with greed, and he couldn't help but say, "Sister, if the jade pendant really falls into your hands, could you lend it to my wife and me to appreciate it?"

Du Yunsheng frowned slightly, she saw Zheng Zhuoling's intention. She said calmly: "The jade pendant has not been given to you yet, why are you so anxious? If that day comes, I will naturally invite you to appreciate it together."

Du Yuwei saw Du Yunsheng's cold tone and quickly smiled and said, "Sister is right, we are just too curious."

At this time, a maid came in with a plate of fresh cakes in her hands. Du Yunsheng nodded slightly, signaling the maid to put down the cakes.

Zheng Zhuoling looked at the cakes and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He couldn't help but say, "Sister, this cake is really delicious. I wonder which chef made it?"

Du Yunsheng smiled gently and said, "This is made by the pastry chef in the palace. If you like it, I'll have my servants send some to you."

Du Yuwei responded happily: "That's great, sister, you care about us so much, we are really grateful."

Zheng Zhuoling's eyes flashed with pride, and he felt that he was one step closer to his goal. However, Du Yunsheng's next words shocked him.

Du Yunsheng said softly: "Sister, do you know why I can gain a foothold in this Prince Jing's Mansion?"

Du Yuwei was stunned for a moment. She didn't know why Du Yunsheng suddenly asked this question, but she still answered: "Sister is very smart and is favored by His Royal Highness Prince Jing. Naturally, she can gain a foothold in the palace."

Du Yunsheng smiled slightly and said, "In fact, the most important thing is that I know the limits. I know what to do and what not to do. If my sister and brother-in-law want to gain a foothold in the palace, they should also understand this principle."

Zheng Zhuoling and Du Yuwei and his wife looked at each other, and they all understood that Du Yunsheng was reminding them. Zheng Zhuoling was a little flustered, and he was worried that his previous actions had aroused Du Yunsheng's vigilance.

Du Yuwei hurriedly said, "Don't worry, sister. My husband and I will definitely keep your teachings in mind."

Du Yunsheng nodded slightly and said, "That's good. As a family, we should support each other and overcome difficulties together."

……

Du Yunsheng saw Du Yuwei's outfit and smiled sarcastically: "Sister, you are dressed so brightly today, are you going to attend some grand event?"

Du Yuwei's face flushed with pride, and she chuckled, "Sister, you are joking. I don't have so many events to attend. However, today happens to be the flower viewing banquet held by the Zheng family. As the daughter-in-law of the Zheng family, I naturally have to dress up decently."

Du Yunsheng smiled slightly, with a sharp look in his eyes: "Zheng Zhuoling? My sister has been married to Zheng Zhuoling for three months. Have you gotten used to his temper?"

Du Yuwei's face changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure: "Sister, he is certainly far inferior to you, but I have tried my best to adapt. We should always tolerate each other."

Zheng Zhuoling walked into the room at this time. When he saw Du Yuwei, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes. Then he bowed to Du Yunsheng and said, "Princess, Yuwei is so beautiful today. It's a feast for the eyes."

Du Yunsheng chuckled and said, "Zheng Lang, you are getting better and better at talking. However, my sister's beauty is indeed worthy of praise."

Zheng Zhuoling smiled slightly and turned to Du Yuwei: "Yuwei, it's time for us to leave. Don't let the Zheng family wait too long."

Du Yuwei nodded gently and was about to leave when Du Yunsheng suddenly called her: "Sister, you are dressed so beautifully today, have you ever considered whether this will make some people jealous?"

Du Yuwei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister. I know what to do."

The four of them came to Zheng's house together. As Du Yuwei said, today's flower viewing banquet was extraordinary. In the Zheng's garden, flowers of various colors competed for beauty and fragrance. Many guests shuttled among them, and there was constant laughter and joy.

Halfway through the banquet, Du Yuwei suddenly felt a stomachache. She couldn't help but frowned and whispered to Zheng Zhuoling, "I feel a little uncomfortable. I want to go back to my room to rest first."

Zheng Zhuoling immediately asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Du Yuwei forced a smile and said, "It's okay, I just have some stomach pain, probably because I ate too much."
