Joy of Life: Many Children, Many Blessings; Intercepting Si Lili

Several palace guards were about to peek out from outside the door.

Li Yunrui's charming yet murderous voice suddenly rang out.

"The Crown Prince is so imposing!"

She gracefully stood up, trailing her long dress as she walked to Li Chengye's side, shielding the tall young man with her protective gaze, her eyes coldly fixed on Li Chengqian.

"You're bossing people around and issuing orders on my own turf. Does the Crown Prince think the Princess's residence is your Eastern Palace, or that I'm already dead?"

Faced with Li Yunrui's thunderous rage, the Crown Prince panicked.

He lowered his head in fear and repeatedly clasped his hands in apology.

"Aunt, please calm down. I lost my temper in a moment of anger. It's just that the third brother is disrespectful to his elders and speaks rudely. That's why I couldn't stand it and wanted to teach him a lesson."

While apologizing, the Crown Prince glared fiercely at Li Chengye, trying to shift all the blame onto him.

Li Yunrui wasn't buying it at all.

She waved her hand dismissively, her expression indifferent, and directly told them to leave.

"Alright, everything is fine here. You can go back now."

The crown prince was extremely displeased and stood there dawdling.

He really couldn't understand what charm this uncouth third brother possessed that could make his high-and-mighty aunt so devoted to protecting him.

Driven by intense resentment, the crown prince stubbornly stood aside, showing no intention of leaving.

Li Yunrui frowned again.

She was extremely disgusted by the Crown Prince's lack of tact.

This idiot is standing here like a wooden stake, seriously disrupting the precious time he and Li Chengye had been looking forward to spending alone together.

If it weren't for his status as the Crown Prince, she would have had this good-for-nothing thrown out long ago.

The atmosphere inside the hall became somewhat tense for a moment.

Ignoring the light bulb next to him, Li Chengye turned his head directly to look at Li Yunrui.

His gaze lingered on her voluptuous and exquisite body, then swept over her fair and alluring feet.

Then, in a very straightforward manner, he asked for the money back.

"Where's the promised 200,000 taels of silver?"

His tone was extremely natural, as if he were asking for his own money with the same self-righteousness.

Upon hearing this, Li Yunrui felt as if a wad of cotton was stuffed inside her heart, causing her great discomfort.

She was initially pleased, thinking that the little rascal had come all this way to see her.

But all they talked about was money!

You little rascal, is money all you care about?

Li Yunrui lightly bit her red lips and glared at Li Chengye with annoyance.

Her melancholic yet alluring eyes, paired with her stunning figure, transformed her angry expression into a captivating charm.

"His Highness Prince Qi has really grown up."

"He was just made a king and then went to spend the night in a brothel. This is a major taboo for royalty!"

You are a prince, how will this affect the dignity of the royal family?

If your father finds out, he'll definitely punish you.

Upon hearing this, the crown prince was overjoyed.

He was initially feeling aggrieved, but when Li Yunrui personally reprimanded Li Chengye, he immediately perked up.

This was a perfect opportunity to curry favor with his aunt and suppress the third son, so the Crown Prince pointed at Li Chengye and echoed his criticism.

"Auntie is right!"

Third brother, you have utterly disgraced the royal family!

"How can someone of noble birth frequent such a lowly brothel? It's utterly disgraceful!"

Seeing the Crown Prince's arrogant and domineering demeanor, Li Chengye's lips curled into a mocking smile.

"What's wrong with me going to Zuixianju?"

"Spending the night in a brothel, openly engaging in illicit activities, is far better than some people secretly harboring crushes, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince reacted as if he had been provoked, instantly becoming agitated.

His fairly handsome face flushed red to the roots of his neck in an instant, veins popped out on his forehead and neck, his eyes widened, and he shouted back at the top of his lungs.

"What nonsense are you spouting! I didn't!"

Because he was extremely guilty, the prince's voice had a sharp tremor, and his hands and feet were shaking unnaturally.

Upon seeing this, Li Yunrui covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

Her beautiful peach blossom eyes concealed an undisguised mockery.

This crown prince is a complete waste. Before anyone even mentioned his name, he panicked at the slightest provocation and gave himself away completely.

Is such composure enough to make someone a crown prince?

However, after laughing, Li Yunrui felt a little surprised.

Li Chengye, that kid, usually doesn't show off. How did he see through the Crown Prince's filthy thoughts?

Faced with the Crown Prince's flushed and intense reaction, Li Chengye remained extremely calm, spreading his hands out.

"I didn't mention the Crown Prince, why are you so agitated?"

The prince froze on the spot, mouth agape, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

His face alternated between pale and flushed, and he felt a burning sensation on his cheeks.

The humiliation of being completely exposed in front of his beloved made him wish he could disappear into the ground.

He could only steel himself and turn to look at Li Yunrui, stammering out his excuses.

"Aunt... I, I absolutely had no other intentions."

The third brother is spouting nonsense and deliberately slandering me. Please don't listen to his rubbish.

Li Yunrui had no intention of listening to his clumsy explanation.

The smile on her face vanished instantly. She feigned anger, her face darkening as she pointed directly out of the hall, her tone stiff and cold.

"Alright."

"Since the Crown Prince is alright, please go back first. I have important matters to discuss with Prince Qi, and I don't have time to chat with you here."

The crown prince, filled with helplessness and frustration, stood there looking completely at a loss.

He knew he had already shown his weakness, and if he continued to stubbornly stay, it would only annoy his aunt even more.

Filled with resentment and anger, the Crown Prince turned away in a sorry state and left the Princess's residence in a disheveled state.

Seeing that the annoying third wheel had finally gotten rid of him, Li Yunrui was secretly happy.

In this spacious and quiet rear hall, only the two of them remained.

She walked gracefully to Li Chengye.

Her beautiful eyes were fixed on the tall, handsome young man in front of her. On the surface, she seemed to be continuing the previous topic of banter, but in reality, her tone revealed a deep sense of resentment.

"The dignified Third Prince even covets my money, and actually goes so far as to spend money to spend the night in a brothel."

"What, do the wildflowers outside smell so good? You're that craving women?"

Faced with this question tinged with jealousy, Li Chengye didn't hold back at all.

Without hesitation, he stretched out his long arm and grabbed Li Yunrui's slender waist, pulling the beautiful and noble princess into his embrace.

Their bodies were pressed tightly together, fitting perfectly.

Li Chengye looked down at her.

What do you think?

Li Yunrui's heart skipped a beat, and her beautiful eyes widened slightly. She was clearly surprised that this young man would dare to act so boldly and recklessly in the Princess's residence.

But when her body pressed firmly against that broad, solid chest, a strong masculine aura belonging to a young man instantly enveloped her completely.

She didn't push him away at all; instead, like a greedy cat, she took a deep breath with longing.

The pleasant masculine scent rushed into her mind, causing her heart to race uncontrollably.

Originally, Li Yunrui only intended to make a few teasing remarks, but now that Li Chengye was holding her in his arms so domineeringly, Li Yunrui was actually moved.

Her body gradually went limp, and she only managed to stay upright thanks to Li Chengye's arm supporting her.

His breathing became heavier, and his chest heaved violently.

A hint of alluring spring shimmered in her peach blossom eyes, and with each glance, she exuded a fatal allure unique to mature women.
