Husband, Be A Gentleman 『Liskook』

Chapter 53

At home jungkook reflected about Wang Fu Mu's note.

Lisa felt jungkook toss and turn on the bed.

'Jungkook, are you a cong you bing?' Lisa asked.

Lisa kicked jungkook who was crawling under her inner robe.

'Lisa, your temper is worse by the day,' jungkook teased.

Lisa didn't want to admit jungkook was right about her temper.

'What are you going to do if you can't tolerate my temper?' Lisa asked.

'Of course I can tolerate your temper,' jungkook said.

Jungkook knew if he teased Lisa too much then she would kick him outside their chamber.

Lisa knew jungkook was troubled about something otherwise he wouldn't have trouble sleeping. 'Jungkook, what's wrong? Did something happen in the palace?'

'Lisa, what do you think about tenth brother?' Jungkook asked.

'He's soft, calm and beautiful,' Lisa said. 'At a glance he looks like someone harmless.'

'What if my harmless tenth brother wants to harm me?' Jungkook asked.

'What?' Lisa asked.

Jungkook explained to Lisa about Wang Fu Mu's note.

'We didn't leave a trace at the harvest festival,' Lisa said. 'How did the crown prince know we were involved?'

'I don't know why he knows but he wouldn't want to warn imperial father unless he has evidence,' jungkook said.

Lisa thought perhaps it was her fault that the crown prince found evidence. She slowly recalled everything that happened at the Yan Manor and she suspected the crown prince was involved in Yan Shi Ting's death.

'Jungkook, do you remember I told you Yan Shi Ting's death was suspicious?' Lisa asked.

Jungkook nodded his head. He remembered Lisa wasn't certain if someone pushed Yan Shi Ting into the well or Yan Shi Ting accidently fell into the well.

'Lisa are you saying that tenth brother killed Yan Shi Ting?' Jungkook asked.

'That day Yan Shi Ting scared me and I left her in the gardens,' Lisa said. 'A while later her body was found in the well. I remember in the gardens there's a sculpture. Perhaps the crown prince was hiding behind it that day, overheard what I said to Yan Shi Ting and that's how he knows we were involved in the wedding incident.'

'Lisa if your speculations are true then why would tenth brother kill Yan Shi Ting?' Jungkook asked.

Lisa couldn't believe someone who looked harmless like the crown prince would push Yan Shi Ting into the well. 'Jungkook, perhaps my speculations are wrong and the crown prince didn't kill Yan Shi Ting.'

Jungkook knew Lisa was frightened that a harmless Pei Lam was capable of heartlessly killing Yan Shi Ting. 'Lisa, I didn't want to go see tenth brother but now I need to go see him.'

Lisa heard the sadness in jungkook's tone. After Bei Dou captured the crown prince, Bei Dou locked the crown prince in a secure place. But jungkook never visited the crown prince and she thought perhaps jungkook wanted to maintain the small brotherly bond between them.

'In the past I was reluctant to let Bei Dou deal with the crown prince,' jungkook said. 'But now I know I was naive. If imperial father found out the truth then three years of firewood collected would be burned within a shichen hour.'

Lisa was scared jungkook's fear was true and the emperor would kill jungkook if the emperor found out the truth.

'Jungkook, why does the emperor hate you?' Lisa asked.
