Chapter 278 Flower

The wind has died down, the night is dark, and the chirping is filled with sorrow.

She stared at her aunt's well-maintained face for a long time, then blankly moved her little head to meet the gazes of the rest of the Yun family. Everyone simultaneously looked away, feeling a guilty sense of having bullied a child.

She finally realized that her aunt was the real boss!

She rushed outside, muttering, "Thirteen!"

【Thirteen, wait for me!】

She wants to go home!

Chiu Chiu failed to escape and was dragged back by Yun Shuyue. This little guy hadn't explained Princess Jingning and Gao Wenyan's matter yet. He wanted to run away without explaining himself? No way!

"Come on, let your cousin help you with your homework!"

As the two figures gradually disappeared into the darkness, General Yun stroked his white beard, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Eldest son, what do you think of this matter?"

How could Madam Yun possibly see it? Naturally, she saw it with her own eyes.

She comforted the anxious General Yun, "Father, this is not something we can decide. It all comes down to the word of that person above. Let's go with Yue'er first. She's stubborn. The more you disagree, the more she'll insist on doing it. It wouldn't be good if it hurt the family's feelings."

Madam Yun and General Yun never discussed matters of officialdom with their daughter, which fostered her stubbornness. Now, Madam Yun regrets this. But what's done is done, and there's no going back to bring her daughter back to life.

Madam Yun could see the unusual relationship between her daughter and Gao Wenyan. If it weren't for the incident at the New Year's Eve banquet, she would have been happy to see it happen. Recently, there have been rumors that Princess Jingning has taken a liking to Gao Wenyan, and the Empress intends to arrange their marriage. She doesn't know if it's true or not.

She asked the old man, "What do you think of Gao Wenyan?"

General Yun pondered for a moment and replied, "He has the spirit of a scholar, but he's not that annoying. Our family is full of military officers, so having a civil official as a son-in-law isn't bad either."

The fact that he could utter such words of praise when he was already aware that someone was trying to steal his daughter proves that he still thinks highly of Gao Wenyan. He even completely ignored his own son-in-law.

Madam Yun also thought Gao Wenyan was quite good; she had already finished writing the family letter on her desk three days ago.

For the past three days, she had been hesitant about whether to tell her husband, who was far away at the border, about this matter. After all, it involved a marriage alliance with the Turks, and she didn't want her daughter to be involved.

After thinking it over, she decided to first sound out her father-in-law's opinion.

Grandpa Yun glanced at her and said, "Relationships are a matter of mutual consent. Even a princess can't force someone else's feelings on her."

Madam Yun knew what was going on. "This year's Spring Banquet, my daughter-in-law will bring Yue'er with her."

Enter the palace and steal a husband!

Yun Shuyue was unaware that her wedding was about to take many twists and turns. She was lying with Qiuqiu, studying homework specially designed for a one-and-a-half-year-old baby.

"Ugh, so annoying! Why am I making you come back to do crafts?!"

Yun Shuyue gradually lost patience, and the paste she applied got all over her hands.

"Die Xiaohua? And he wants the real thing? He'd better just fly to the moon!"

Chiu Chiu stared silently at the piles of flowers on the table that could only be described as crumpled paper.

She felt incredibly wronged. She couldn't even hold a pen properly with Princess Fu Ning, so naturally she couldn't do her homework. But her happiness lasted only three seconds. Just as Qiuqiu was shuffling towards the classroom door, Gao Wenyan cruelly told her that she had homework tonight—to make little red flowers!

Fu Ning is a princess, and I dare not offend Your Majesty, so she is the only one who suffers.

[It's all because of that wicked Gao Wenyan! Qiuqiu won't let him be my cousin-in-law anymore!]

Yun Shuyue, whose hands were as clumsy as pig's trotters, glanced at her, then looked at the piles of waste paper, and suddenly felt that being alone was quite nice.

"It's all Gao Wenyan's fault!"

Chirp nodded: "Yes!"

Xiao Nu, the maidservant serving Yun Shuyue, pushed open the door and walked in carrying a black wooden box. "Miss, this was sent by Master Gao. He said it's for Miss Qiuqiu."

Chirping looked up when she heard her name called. "Did you call me?"

Yun Shuyue gently pushed her round face behind her back with her hand, "It's none of your business, go play."

With a belly full of worries, Qiuqiu couldn't have any fun. She clung to Yun Shuyue's arm and wouldn't let go, muttering with a gossipy look on her face, "Look!"

Show this to Chuchu!

Unable to resist the pestering of the chirping bird, Yun Shuyue had no choice but to open the box. Inside the black box were two flowers made of red paper.

Yun Shuyue felt a sweet warmth in her heart; it was the first time someone had ever given her flowers!

Fresh flowers fade easily, but artificial flowers last forever, symbolizing the feelings between them...

Hehe, I can't think about it anymore!

Yun Shuyue, who was usually carefree, blushed deeply.

Chiu Chiu was even more annoyed. She stared intently at the paper flower, resentful and indignant: "Is he mocking my clumsiness?!"

How could you bully someone in class and now you're taking it home with you!

Yun Shuyue, who happened to overhear Chiu Chiu's thoughts: "..."

Is this child, Chiu Chiu, allergic to romance?

She took a deep breath and slammed the box shut. Chirp fumbled for the flowers in the black box but couldn't get them back, huffing, "Hmph. Chirp!"

[He values ​​romantic relationships more than friendships, and only values ​​older sisters, not younger sisters.]

She was sad, and she needed to look up at the sky at a 45-degree angle to feel sad for a while.

She silently walked to the corner of the wall, braced her small hands against the wall, and then rubbed against the wall in an extremely contorted posture.

Yun Shuyue asked, puzzled, "What's wrong with you?"

Chiu Chiu exuded a faint sadness: "Upside down."

A handsome guy once said that when you're sad, you should do a handstand so the tears won't fall.

Chirp is going to cry because she never had a little crown.

Although Yun Shuyue didn't understand what Qiuqiu meant, and her head ached whenever she saw Qiuqiu's strange appearance, she still respected it as someone who doted on children.

She grabbed Qiuqiu's calf with one hand and supported Qiuqiu's waist and back with the other, and before Qiuqiu could react, she performed a reverse backflip.

Chiu Chiu swore she really didn't know what had happened, and that she was like this when she regained consciousness.

She supported herself on the ground with her hands, her back slightly arched, and her little feet were still under her cousin's control.

"Waaaaah! Go home!"

This time, Chiu Chiu really cried, and she cried very loudly.

She struggled to walk, but forgot that she couldn't walk with her hands on the ground. In her panic, she used her hands to walk instead, making a comical and ridiculous mess.

Yun Shuyue was even more flustered than her: "Chirp chirp, get up quickly, you are a human."

Chirp's eyes were brimming with tears as she pitifully looked back at her. She crawled towards the door twice, "Bad!"

Yun Shuyue laughed so hard she almost fell over. Just as she was about to put Qiuqiu down, her mother's voice came from behind her, "Yun, Shu, Yue!"

Yun Shuyue: Oh no, it's coming for me!

Chiu Chiu deflated and lay down on the ground, sulking, "Everything's broken, everything's broken."

Yun Shuyue looked dejected. "Mother, would you believe me if I said I didn't do it on purpose?"

Madam Yun said with a dark face, "I'll believe you if you put Qiuqiu down."

Chirp: [I've sacrificed everything for that lousy flower!]
