Stay with me!

Lei Wanxi was standing behind Ying Lili and gesturing to Sheng Li not to say anything; his finger was on his lips. "I was punishing her for the wrong she had done," Sheng Li stated. 

"You were holding her and then laughing with her," Ying Lili pronounced.

Sheng Li was befuddled to hear that, as he was expecting something else. "You told me that you never brought a woman here except me then what was that? The Second Brother was saying that you were thinking of getting a Second Wife!" Ying Lili blurted out. 

"Sister Lili, that was just an act," Lei Wanxi intervened between them and looked around before shifting his gaze back to her. "The Empress had told her to get closer to Brother Sheng. He was just bringing the truth out from her," Lei Wanxi said in a low voice. 

"There are many other ways to do that. Your brother was smiling brightly and holding her so close to him. Do not defend your brother," Ying Lili said with a stern expression.
