Chapter 56 The ability to gossip is back.
Wei Dongning thought that Xiao Wu had gotten stuck again while grooming itself. She was about to climb onto the bed, but instead, she took a detour and walked to the cat tree.
After checking and finding nothing unusual, she asked, "What happened?"
"Ningbao! You absolutely won't believe it!"
"Believe in what?" Wei Dongning was completely baffled.
"It seems my dad has given me back my ability to gossip."
Xiao Wu's voice was full of disbelief.
To make sure it hadn't misread it, it quickly went back and looked at it again.
"I just saw your brother and his brother watching a great play in the palace."
Wei Dongning was a little confused by it: "Wait a minute, speak slowly. Whose brother and whose brother?"
"Your brother, Su Yizhuo, and his brother, Su Yizhou, just caught Consort Xu in bed with another man!"
Xiao Wu gave Wei Dongning a general explanation of the whole story.
Wei Dongning was momentarily at a loss as to which piece of news to be shocked by first.
"I won't show you the scene, it's too bloody. Your brother almost threw up just now."
If it weren't a system, it would want to vomit.
Especially after the Crown Prince and Su Yizhuo left, the guards turned the man into mincemeat and fed him to the dogs.
Considering that Consort Xu was pregnant, they did not torture her as they had tortured that man; instead, they ended her life with a thin rope.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm a coward, I know my own limitations." Wei Dongning rubbed her hands together: "Wu Bao, can we start our journey of watching the drama unfold?"
Xiao Wu's company is certainly nice, but human nature is to be a gossipmonger.
Especially after her "gossip-loving" ability returned, Xiao Wu told her such a sensational story.
Isn't this just tantalizing her to know more gossip?
"Okay!" Xiao Wu wagged its tail proudly.
It wasn't the same thing that made Ningbao happy.
Wei Dongning was happy because she had some gossip to hear.
What made it happy was that the supreme deity had begun to forgive it.
It's no wonder it's been acting like a lackey lately, returning to the Time Travel Bureau every day to do its utmost.
"Quick, Xiao Wu, what other gossip is there? Tell us all at once!"
Seeing that Wei Dongning hadn't returned for a while, Gu Peiyan put on her shoes and walked behind her: "Xiao Wu, what's wrong?"
Wei Dongning immediately withdrew her bared teeth: "It's okay, that silly little Wu got his hair stuck while licking his fur, but it's been taken care of now."
"Then why haven't you come back yet?"
Wei Dongning dragged Gu Peiyan's hand and walked towards the bed: "Oh, I was just stunned by how cute it is. Come on, let's go back to sleep!"
Seeing that Gu Peiyan believed what she said, Wei Dongning turned around and quickly winked at Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu raised its kitten paw and waved it twice. After the bed curtains were lowered, its consciousness once again entered Wei Dongning's mind: "Ningbao, can you hear me?"
"Ok, Ok!"
Wei Dongning quietly closed her eyes, waiting for Xiao Wu to put the melon in her bowl.
Gu Peiyan, standing next to her, felt somewhat uncomfortable.
She used to chat with him for a while before going to sleep.
I've never been able to fall asleep like this before.
He propped himself up and stared at her blankly for a long time, listening to her gradually steady breathing, and a strange feeling flashed through his heart.
After not hearing Xiao Wu's voice for a while, Wei Dongning became a little anxious: "Xiao Wu, why aren't you telling me yet?"
"Wait a minute, I want to see how long your partner is going to keep an eye on you."
"Huh?" Wei Dongning suddenly opened her eyes, meeting Gu Peiyan's probing gaze: "Why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?"
Gu Peiyan said with certainty, "You're acting a bit strange tonight."
"Nonsense, I'm just sleepy and want to go to bed."
"Really?"
"I cooked it, are you going to sleep or not?"
Gu Peiyan couldn't detect a trace of lying in her eyes, and lay back down: "Okay."
To avoid a repeat of the previous situation, Wei Dongning stubbornly endured it.
When his breathing gradually became steady, Wei Dongning waved her hand in front of his eyes to make sure he was really asleep before closing her eyes with relief: "Go on, tell me, I can't wait any longer."
What I just saw was about the Crown Prince, and Xiao Wu took the opportunity to investigate.
Sure enough, it discovered something: "The Crown Prince has a childhood betrothal, a marriage verbally bestowed by the Emperor. However, not many people know about it."
Wei Dongning choked. This emperor really likes to bestow marriages.
If you count them, there are already four pairs as far as she knows.
Does he have some arranged marriage KPI he needs to meet?
“Go on.”
"The future Crown Princess is the Empress's niece, four years younger than the Crown Prince. However, the young girl herself is unaware of this engagement; she only regards the Crown Prince as her older brother."
Wei Dongning thought about it for a moment, and it made perfect sense.
The Crown Prince seems to be a year older than Su Yizhuo, so the little girl hasn't even reached the age of marriage yet.
A child doesn't think about emotions in such a complicated way.
Wei Dongning then asked, "So, will they get married after the girl comes of age?"
"Perhaps?" Xiao Wu reached out to lick it, but then realized it was no longer a kitten's paw, so she put her hand back. "But the Crown Prince seems to have very unusual feelings for his concubine."
"It's a pity that this little world wasn't created in a novel, otherwise we could see what the future would be like."
Will the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince's concubine be irreconcilable, or will they get along peacefully like the Empress and the Imperial Concubine?
Xiao Wu sat casually on the ground, cross-legged, and rested his chin on his hands: "Yes, apart from the world in the book, I don't have the ability to glimpse the future."
To prevent mission participants from using the system's precognitive abilities to alter history, the Time Travel Bureau did not implant any precognitive instructions when creating the system.
"It's okay, sometimes exploring slowly is also a kind of joy."
Xiao Wu searched through the information she could find and discovered something else: "This girl probably doesn't even realize she already has someone she likes, right?"
Wei Dongning was just starting to feel sleepy when her words woke her up: "What? What?"
Xiao Wu showed Wei Dongning the scenes he had found one by one: "Look, she's clearly experiencing the first stirrings of love."
In the video, a little girl in a smart outfit proudly displays a rabbit she's hunted, as if showing it off as a treasure; another little girl is chewing on a pen, tilting her head and staring blankly...
She doesn't even want to count how many of these situations there are.
In all the videos, the person on the other side of the little girl's gaze, though not clearly visible, is obviously a boy.
"Wow! Looking back on this, it'll just be a story of a young girl's unrequited love!"
"I wonder if she will be in great pain when she fulfills her marriage vows?"
“Definitely.” Wei Dongning followed Xiao Wu’s train of thought: “If someone has someone they like very much, but is tripped up by a childhood betrothal arranged by the emperor himself, anyone would be heartbroken.”
Xiao Wu searched through the gossip group again: "And there's more. Your second sister likes the Crown Prince."
"I guessed that."
Wei Dongning was not surprised at all.
The time she returned to her parents' home, Wei Qiuci's gaze towards the Crown Prince was the most unusual.
Someone like her who loves shipping couples would have seen through her little scheme long ago.
What she's curious about now is: "Who does the young lady from the Jiang family like?"
