The city gate grew increasingly distant until it vanished from sight, and Nuonuo let out a sigh.
Her plan was flawless; Ye Li should have seen the note she left and hurried to pick up the Spiritual Consort.
She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that everything would go smoothly and that nothing unexpected would happen.
But when she thought about the man she deeply loved spending the rest of his life with another woman, her heart felt like it was being torn apart. Tears streamed down her cheeks, dropping onto the corners of her mouth, and the salty taste made her feel a pang of bitterness.
Just as she was immersed in sadness, she suddenly heard a lazy sigh from behind.
Nuonuo was startled and her body stiffened abruptly.
Ye Li had somehow managed to crawl through the piles of fabric, shoes, and jewelry boxes, and sat down beside her with great difficulty.
He shook his head gently and sighed helplessly, "Why do you feel so wronged? After being a ruler for a day, are you still not satisfied?"
Nuonuo widened her eyes in surprise as she looked at Ye Li, her face showing an expression of disbelief.
Nuonuo sobbed uncontrollably, her voice choked with emotion as she said, "It was clearly you who didn't want me. You set me up to frame me for someone else, and yet you don't even come to see me."
Ye Li smiled gently, extending her hand to softly wipe away the tears from the corner of her eye. She comforted her softly, saying, "It's not someone else; it's my sister! Tsk tsk, luckily I knew in advance and played along. Ling'er is willing to cooperate fully; otherwise, you would have really messed things up and made me worry for nothing, letting the results I worked hard for go to waste."
Nuonuo widened her eyes, staring blankly at Ye Li, filled with shock and confusion.
Seeing this, Ye Li reached out to embrace her and explained in a firm yet gentle tone, "Ling'er is my only family, so we have always been very close since childhood. I have always indulged her. When she found out that I was interested in you, she felt a bit jealous and acted a little harshly.
In fact, the Emperor once disguised himself and visited Night Shard Manor to gather information, but he did not see me. Coincidentally, Ling'er encountered the Emperor when she returned from outside and fell in love with him at first sight. Later, she followed the Emperor into the palace. Because she was worried about being misunderstood as a spy for Night Shard Manor, she has never dared to reveal her true identity to the Emperor."
Nuonuo suddenly realized and looked at Ye Li in surprise, "So that love letter was something you paid me to write!"
Ye Li nodded and said softly, "Yes, that's right. The words she circled on the discarded love letter were actually a code, asking me to take the opportunity of selling coal to enter the palace and help her."
Nuonuo couldn't help but grit her teeth, glaring angrily at Ye Li. "Well, you want to help your sister, that's fine, but why do you have to drag me into this too?"
Ye Li's face turned slightly red as she explained, a bit embarrassed, "The first time I saw you, I was already smitten. I was really afraid of losing you and worried that I would never find you again, which is why I came up with this plan to keep you."
One year later, in a relatively remote town, there was a small shop.
The shop sold all kinds of delicate and lovely baby clothes and baby products.
That morning, the weather was clear and sunny.
Ye Li accompanied Nuonuo to the entrance of the store.
Nuonuo is already pregnant, her belly is quite large, but her face is filled with a happy smile.
She pointed at the row of small clothes and said to Ye Li, "These little clothes are really beautiful; I love this color."
Ye Li looked at her happy expression and felt very pleased in his heart.
He nodded readily and said, "Alright, let's buy all these little clothes."
Upon hearing Ye Li say this, Nuonuo immediately broke into a radiant smile, her eyes sparkling with joy.
She felt very happy because she had Ye Li's love and care for her.
After paying, Ye Li left the shop with Nuonuo.
The clerk curiously asked the shopkeeper, "Doesn't the landlord find it troublesome to come to the store every day to buy things and then sneakily return them at midnight?"
shopkeeper smiled and replied, "This is the brilliance of landlord. Anyway, the lady is clueless and won't notice or remember what she bought. In fact, landlord has secretly bought all the shops in town, just like in the capital years ago. This way, he can keep the lady satisfied without spending too much money. It's a win-win situation!"
With that, shopkeeper couldn't help but burst into laughter.
My friend also laughed after hearing the shopkeeper's words, and exclaimed, "landlord is really clever, even the lady has been completely fooled by him. However, the lady is indeed very naive, she doesn't know anything and thinks she has bought the item she desired."
