The Employed Empress 157 Chapter 157: Third Young Master

The empress is crying excessively that everyone is at lost on what to do.

It was only after a while that she stopped and they heaved a sigh of relief.

With red eyes, Wei Yi Yi sniffed and retain a stubborn face. She refused to feel sorry for the wrinkled robe which she dirtied as well.

Tang Mei tried to make up for his mistress blunder. "Many thanks for third young master Wei for the immediate rescue."

Resuming his straight face, Wei Lian glanced at the unsightly sixth prince before reacting. "No need for fancy words. The empress, despite being married, is still my, Wei Lian's younger sister."

At the side, Wei Yi Yi fully stopped crying and stare at the two with wide eyes. Her jaw threatens to fall to the ground.

"You... You..." Wei Yi Yi, in a rude manner, pointed on Wei Lian's face.

Wait, brother? Sister? Do you mean 'blood' siblings?! Please, someone, give the dao of enlightenment!

"Done crying?" He Li--- Wei Lian asked. She could imagine him fixing his gla.s.ses as he said this. He doesn't have one now though.

Wei Yi Yi instantly went defensive. "I'm not crying!---gasps!"

She slapped her mouth shut. She has mistaken him as 'He Lian' and acted familiar! This is 'Wei Yi Yi' half-brother Wei Lian! Someone she doesn't know how to interact with!

It doesn't matter if they look so alike. He's still not 'He Lian'!

It was a fact she must drill on her head.

However, just as she is correcting herself, Wei Lian acted normally like he is used to this kind of exchange between them.

"Oh? Apologies, fourth sister resembles a wild animal so much that I mistook its sound as your cries."

Wei Yi Yi face went 'argh' with the sarcastic remarks. There are no tears left to visualize the damage she took.

A thought surface on her head.

'Sibling's kindness is but a blink of an eye; gone in but a second. It's a complicated relations.h.i.+p where you'll do anything for them for a moment then cannot wait but to kill them after.'

It was a constant dilemma in her past life. It seems like such a dilemma ended up being reborn in this lifetime as well.

"Did fourth sister--- I mean her majesty, saw it? It was clinging to me so pitifully moments before running away in shame." Wei Lian even went to describe it just to p.i.s.s her off after crying.

No, sht! This is 'He Lian' without a doubt! You can change your name and your looks but not your dark soul!

There's no way in h.e.l.l she could have mistaken!

"Smart mouth. I'm not talking to you anymore."

"Empress, do not be mad. This subject was just joking a moment ago," Wei Lian said as a small curve shows up on his lips. "I was meaning to say that fourth sister appear adorable crying to the point that this brother thought my sister is growing backward."

Wei Yi Yi turned her eyes away.

She cannot believe she just lost herself just then! How moody! Out of all traits she could inherit as proof of her gender, it just had to be the emotional aspect!

Wei Yi Yi forcefully wipes out her tears.

"Jiang Liu we're going back!" Wei Yi Yi shouted at Jiang Liu who's still dangling on the tree.

She plans to take everything as it hits her from now own. Else, her heart will crumble to dust from all the sudden changes.

"How close are the two of you?" Wei Lian inquired. He stares with a blank look towards Jiang Liu and his maidservants.

"Within punching distance," Wei Yi Yi replied in a manner she would to the modern He Lian.

"I'll take it as the two of you are in this together," Wei Lian replied in full understanding.

"Uh-huh."

The twin's attention didn't leave the new intruder all this while that they forgot to keep an eye towards their master.

Jiang Liu refused to budge from his position even after being called out.

Wei Yi Yi found it suspicious and circle around till she sees what Jiang Liu is busy with. If he's having an eye to eye with a snake, she'll run first without looking back.

Instead, she found him having intense eye contact with a cat.

"Why is there a cat here?" Wei Yi Yi questioned.

"Ssshh!" Jiang Liu finally gave them a bit of his attention.

This brat! I was crying so emotionally as if my world crumbled and he was busy having an affair with a cat?!

Actually, when Wei Yi Yi started crying without care, Jiang Liu found it awkward to act as a witness. Thus, he and his maidservants didn't climb down in their last attempt of giving her face.

In a rare instance of conscience, Jiang Liu pretended to look away.

It was then that faith allowed him to meet this G.o.d given treasure.

The cat is as big as a normal cat with two prominent dark stripes on its head. Its whole body is spotted and when it stood on all fours, long slender legs presented themselves. At the back, a long slim tail sways alluringly in a manner that tempts him.

Mao'er is round and charming. This one though... is so elegant!

With all intention to take it and keep it as a pet, Jiang Liu slowly approached it.

It was then that Wei Lian commented. "That's a wild (leopard) cat. They are active hunters and meat eaters. Treating it as a pet is not advisable."

Just as he said this, the wild cat pounce on Jiang Liu's hand with an open mouth.

At this point, Wei Yi Yi's face is as calm as water. She took a mental note of never leaving Jiang Liu into the wild.

The sixth prince went 'Aaaahhh!' and took back his outreach hand.

Jiang Liu lost balance and fell down. Bai Huo didn't react on time and only grabbed on air.

Losing its enemy, the wild cat went for the distracted Bai Huo. Just before it could scratch Bai Huo with its sharp claws, Bai Shui timely jumped in between and kick it away. She then leans on her sister so that she won't fall down.

Below them, Wei Yi Yi cough shamelessly.

In a princess carry, Wei Lian successfully caught the clumsy Jiang Liu.

Slowly, Jiang Liu's face reddens in embarra.s.sment as he exchanged stares with Wei Lian who appear as if nothing could make a ripple on his emotion.

The idiot brat hid his face on his palms instead of getting down.

Wei Yi Yi didn't remind the two of them and watched the show instead. She even stopped Tang Mei from intervening.

I don't care what people are seeing but my mind just went to BL fantasy.
