destiny eternal calamity

"Ah... how could that be?" Long Xiaoxiao said awkwardly.

Seeing that Long Xiaoxiao was trying to run away, Li Wei grabbed her and led her to the courtyard where Xiao Shuying lived.

"Aunt Ying, are you there? You need to control this girl!" Li Wei didn't stand on ceremony and shouted directly into the room.

Xiao Shuying had only disappeared because she felt the situation was a bit awkward. Now, thinking about Li Wei's reaction after seeing her, she realized that she had been tricked into doing something wrong by Long Xiaoxiao. She didn't think about running away and obediently revealed herself.

She took Long Xiaoxiao from Li Wei and immediately shut down the girl's senses to prevent her from seeing or hearing things she shouldn't see or hear.

"It's one thing for Xiaoxiao to act recklessly, but why are you joining in, Aunt Ying? What if I'm too scared to rush over and block the sword? Wouldn't that ruin my relationship with His Highness?"

Li Wei complained that he was completely unguarded with Xiao Shuying and dared to say anything.

He firmly believed that as long as he hadn't made any fundamental mistakes, the other party would definitely side with him, which was why he judged that Long Xiaoxiao was lying.

"When Xiaoxiao asked me to do this, I didn't agree at first. I even told her that people's hearts can't withstand being tested. Then she said that I actually knew about this plan, but I told her not to tell me so that I would develop feelings for her."

"I'm sorry, I should have asked you to verify this," Xiao Shuying said with a wry smile.

She was actually outsmarted by a little girl.

Li Wei knew why she didn't ask him about it—if what Long Xiaoxiao said was true, Li Wei's behavior was undoubtedly despicable, and Xiao Shuying was afraid that Li Wei would feel that his image had been damaged in her eyes, needlessly leaving a grudge between the two of them.

Moreover, Xiao Shuying had been checking his body and knew that with his physical strength, he wouldn't lack the courage to take a sword from a Dharma Aspect cultivator.

If it were a genuine assassination attempt, he was fully capable of stalling until the Heavenly Fate cultivators within the manor arrived to provide assistance.

"Well, it turned out well. Aunt Ying, now that you know I wasn't aware of the plan beforehand, do you feel better about me?"

Li Wei asked with a wicked grin.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Shuying realized that she had done something wrong, so she took the initiative to lean over and kiss Li Wei, expressing her feelings.

The two of them almost forgot about Long Xiaoxiao's existence until the little girl felt she had been locked in a dark room for too long and patted Xiao Shuying on the back, at which point she realized it.

After unlocking Long Xiaoxiao's senses, Xiao Shuying took her to find Long Bilin.

Even if Long Bilin is her cousin, she is still a princess of Dali. Her act of disguising herself as an assassin is definitely an act of insubordination and disrespect, and she naturally needs to apologize.

If she hadn't been afraid that Long Xiaoxiao would complain to Li Wei that she was unwilling to match him with His Highness, she would definitely have refused at the time.

Actually, she could have just told Long Xiaoxiao that Li Wei and His Highness were already a couple, but she didn't want to give up her persona of not knowing about it.

At the time, she felt that if she made things clear, things would become awkward between her and Li Wei.

In short, when she decided to help Long Xiaoxiao with this, she was prepared to apologize profusely.

So without any hesitation, he went straight to Long Bilin's bedroom.

Li Wei thought for a moment and followed.

……

"You naughty girl, you'll stop at nothing to be lazy!"

After hearing Li Wei's explanation of the whole story, Long Bilin was furious and started spanking Long Xiaoxiao.

The four women beside him, Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju, couldn't help but smile.

They knew perfectly well that His Highness and the young master had been indulging in nightly revelry; the little princess was truly out of the loop.

"Aunt Ying, did you agree to this brat's request to set me up with Li Wei?"

While spanking Long Xiaoxiao's bottom, Long Bilin deliberately asked Xiao Shuying a question.

Although Aunt Ying had been very tactful in creating space for her and Li Wei to be alone on several occasions, she had never personally admitted to supporting their relationship.

It just so happens that Aunt Ying made a mistake, so it's a good opportunity to make her admit it.

"Yes, Your Highness. I believe that Your Highness needs Li Wei, and marrying him would be the best choice," Xiao Shuying said generously.

After this farce, she came to some realizations, thinking that she might have been too lenient with herself before.

This created a rather delicate relationship between the group.

Actually, if you've met such a good man, you should just hold on to him.

What's so bad about aunt and nephew sharing the same husband? There are even more chaotic situations within the royal family.

Besides, it wasn't my fault.

It was His Highness who ran away first, and he has let his aunt down. Why should she keep wasting her time on herself?

In conclusion, it was Li Wei's selfless act of risking his life for Long Bilin that moved Xiao Shuying, making her willing to set aside her pride to please this man.

Seeing that her aunt seemed to have come to her senses, Long Bilin was no longer so angry about Xiaoxiao's mischievous behavior.

As I said before, the result was good.

So he spanked Xiaoxiao's bottom a dozen more times and then let her go.

"From now on, you can call him brother-in-law, you brat!" Long Bilin said irritably.

Anyway, Xiaoxiao doesn't usually go out and won't leak any information, so it's fine to tell her about this.

To avoid any more embarrassing blunders.

"Hehe, brother-in-law!" Long Xiaoxiao called out sweetly, hugging Li Wei's arm.

Although there was a slight mishap along the way, the plan was still a great success!

With her brother-in-law Li Wei protecting her from now on, her older sister can't just mold her however she wants.

Li Wei had originally intended to spank her, as he disliked being tested by others.

But seeing Long Xiaoxiao's well-behaved and adorable appearance, he couldn't bear to do it.

Her original intention was simply to help her sister make informed decisions.

However, Xiaoxiao, your plan is fine, but why are you so confident that I, your prospective brother-in-law, won't help your sister raise her child?

With a slight smile, Li Wei told Long Bilin that he was going to take Xiaoxiao back to learn the piano.

The young woman thought her newly recognized brother-in-law was helping her out of trouble, and followed Li Wei with a smirk.

At Long Bilin's signal, the four women, Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju, also left, leaving only Long Bilin and Xiao Shuying in the room.

"Aunt Ying, have you figured it out?" Long Bilin asked.

"Yes, this brat is really too lovable," Xiao Shuying said helplessly.

"Aunt Ying, do you remember that a long time ago I said I wanted to be with you for the rest of my life?"

"I never expected us to be together like this." Xiao Shuying couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Actually..." Long Bilin told the story of how her mother obtained the prophecy at the Wang family's ancestral land.

She had only told Li Wei about this before, but seeing that Aunt Ying had come to her senses today, she confessed it to her as well.

Anyway, they are already so close that they can't be closer than family.

"So, Your Highness asked me, your aunt, to protect Li Wei the first time you met him? Was that because you already had that idea back then?"

Xiao Shuying understood.

"Of course! I'm not stupid. If it weren't to bring you two together, why would I send such a beauty like Aunt Ying to my future husband? Was it to test his willpower?"

Long Bilin said with a slightly teasing tone.

"Aunt Ying, he's got more and more women around him these days: Yan Xueshang, Zhao Yuqing, and that fiancée who used to be known as the most beautiful woman in the capital. You'd better catch up. And let me tell you a secret, it feels really good..."

Afterwards, Long Bilin and Aunt Ying chatted about bedroom matters, with no taboos between them, as if they had returned to the days when Xiao Shuying would hold her and sleep when they were children.

In fact, the two are only seven years apart in age. Compared to Long Xiaoxiao, who is twelve years younger than Long Bilin, Xiao Shuying is indeed more like her sister.
