The younger sister sobbed and took out a handkerchief to wipe the corner of her eyes. “I’m sorry, 1 was rude.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine.” Shi Xi’s lips twitched. “Take your time.”

The younger sister bit her lip, leaving white marks on her red lips. “Miss Shi, you can’t marry Brother Ryan.”

Shi Xi thought to herself, ‘Here it comes, here it comes. My childhood sweetheart, my love sister, the supporting actress is here!’

“Because you like Ryan?” Shi Xi guessed.

“No, it’s not because of this.” The younger sister’s fair cheeks were flushed red. She mustered up her courage and said, “Brother Ryan is the heir to the throne. He can only choose a princess from among the noble ladies. If he marries you, he will lose the right to inherit the throne!”

“So what if I’m not a noble socialite?” Shi Xi’s stubborn temper flared up. “What era are we in now? Why are you openly discriminating against civilians?”

The younger sister was stunned. Tears welled up in her eyes, but they did not fall.

This was different from what she had expected!

Looking at Shi Xi’s indignant expression, the younger sister held back and continued, “If you like Brother Ryan, you shouldn’t have married him.”

Shi Xi was speechless. “You should have said that to Ryan.”

What was the use of telling her?

“Brother Ryan loves you deeply. If you persuade him, he will definitely listen to you.” Tears continued to roll down her cheeks.

Shi Xi felt bored and said perfunctorily, “1 understand. I’ll tell him.”

No wonder men didn’t like crying girls.

She didn’t like it either.

His sister finally broke into a smile. “That’s great. Brother Ryan will definitely listen to what you say.”

Shi Xi faked a smile.

Ryan would definitely not listen to her words.

After sending off her beloved sister, Sena walked up and asked tentatively, “Princess Consort, what did Miss Bonita say to you?”

“It’s nothing. Go back.”

Sena was Ryan’s spy by her side, so Shi Xi would not tell her everything.

Back in the bedroom, Sena placed the flower basket on the coffee table and said, “I’ll help you cut the flowers.”

“No need, I’ll cut it myself.” Shi Xi had nothing to do and could only find trouble for herself. “Go and find two, oh no, three or four vases. 1 want to arrange the flowers myself.”

“…Yes.”

Shi Xi looked at the messy flowers that had been cut down in front of her and requested, “1 want a pair of white jade vases and a pair of golden silk vases.”

“I’ll go look for it now,” said Sena.

Shi Xi waved her hand. “Turn on the music in the room.”

After doing all this, Sena came out of the room and said to the guard at the door, “Look after the Princess Consort. I’m not back, don’t let her go out.”

“Yes.”

Sena didn’t go to the storeroom immediately. Instead, she found a secret place and called Ryan to report what had just happened.

Shi Xi had just cut two flowers when her finger was pricked by the thorns.

D*mn!

“Sena? Are you still there?” Shi Xi shouted, but there was no sound outside.

“Is anyone there?” Shi Xi asked again. “Give me a band-aid!”

When she did not hear a reply, Shi Xi turned the wheelchair with one hand and arrived at the door.

Opening the door, the guard blocked Shi Xi’s path.

“Please go back.”

Shi Xi said, “1 don’t want to go out. Ask Sena to come back. My hand is injured.

Find me a band-aid.”

The guard lowered his head to take a look. His eyes darkened slightly. “I’ll go in and get you a band-aid.”

“All?” Shi Xi’s hand was still half-raised. Thinking that it might take a while for Sena to return, she said, “Then come in and look for it.”

The guard pushed Shi Xi into the room and closed the door behind him..
