Chapter 320 Shen Wantang, don't come any closer!

Xiao Qingyuan was stunned: "You, what did you say? You want me to go to bed with you? To sleep with you?"

"What, Your Highness is unwilling?"

In the dim light, Xiao Qingyuan couldn't see Shen Wantang's expression, but he felt that something was off: "Shen Wantang, are you playing a trick? Why is your attitude changing so drastically? One minute you're as cold as ice to me, and the next you're as warm as fire. How can you have two faces?"

Shen Wantang: "My coldness towards the young master was all an act. I deliberately wanted to arouse his interest and get his attention."

As she spoke, she sat up, got out of bed, and then moved closer to Xiao Qingyuan.

"Your Highness, I am so happy that you have finally agreed to sleep in my courtyard! Why don't you take off your clothes? Would you like me to help you?"

Shen Wantang reached out and, with a "rip," tore open Xiao Qingyuan's sleeve.

Xiao Qingyuan immediately stepped back: "Shen Wantang, don't come any closer!"

"Why is Your Highness avoiding me? We are husband and wife. Since Your Highness is not leaving tonight, then please submit to me!"

"Shen Wantang, get away from me!"

"It's heartbreaking that you're keeping me at arm's length, Your Highness. What's wrong? Am I not beautiful enough? Or am I not gentle enough? Don't worry, Your Highness, I won't hit you anymore. Don't be afraid."

"Shen Wantang, are you possessed by a ghost?! You're terrifying!"

"How about this, I'll find my wedding dress from our big day and wear it. You can marry me again, and you can lift my veil so we can drink the nuptial wine. You don't know that you left me all alone that day, and I've been very sad and regretful ever since. But now that you love me, I can make up for my regret."

As Shen Wantang spoke, she began rummaging through her belongings, searching for her wedding attire.

Xiao Qingyuan was shocked and furious: "You've gone mad! You've gone mad! So everything you did before was an act! You liar, I almost fell for your tricks!"

Shen Wantang had already found the wedding dress. She lit the lamp and put the dress on.

The dim yellow light, the blood-red color, the long black hair, and the pale face.

This scene is even more terrifying than the horror stories Xiao Qingyuan has ever read!

"Your Highness."

"Don't come any closer!"

"I can't find the veil."

"Shut up!"

“But I have a similar handkerchief, so let’s use this as a substitute for now. Look how nice it is.”

Xiao Qingyuan was terrified when he saw her put a white handkerchief over her head. Who would use a white handkerchief for a wedding?!

She even went so far as to lie through her teeth, saying that this handkerchief was almost identical to the one she wore on her wedding day!

Is this a curse to force him into a ghost marriage?!

He suddenly ripped off the unlucky white handkerchief.

He looked up and saw Shen Wantang's face close to his. She grinned at him and said, "Your Highness, you've finally lifted my veil. You've fallen for me, haven't you? I knew you'd fall for me. My efforts haven't been in vain! All my planning over the years has paid off. Today we can finally consummate our marriage."

"A ghost!"

Xiao Qingyuan shouted and turned to run.

But in his panic, he couldn't open the door no matter what he tried!

A fragrant breeze wafted over, and Shen Wantang was already standing behind him: "Young Master, don't waste your energy. My maid has already locked the door from the outside. You can't leave today!"

A cold sweat broke out on Xiao Qingyuan's back: "Shen Wantang, I don't like you at all! Don't even think about me!"

"Your Highness just said you weren't leaving tonight and were going to sleep here. Were you lying to me?"

"Yes, I was just kidding! I'd rather die than sleep here with you!"

"The young master also said that he will sleep here for ten days every month from now on, and today is the first day."

"I didn't say that, you misheard! I meant that it was Mother who said it, but I didn't agree!"

"Does the Crown Prince really not like me?"

"I don't like it, I ...! How many times do I have to say it?"

"Oh, I don't believe it."

Xiao Qingyuan was utterly speechless!

He kept trying to open the door, and finally, his hard work paid off and the door opened!

A maid rushed over: "Young Master!"

Xiao Qingyuan roared, "Those who block my way shall die!"

The maid was startled and trembled as she said, "Young Master, I'm not trying to stop you, I'm here to ask you to return to our courtyard. Miss Huayi has developed a high fever and is starting to talk nonsense. Please go back and take a look!"

Xiao Qingyuan's spirits lifted, and he ran out like a gust of wind: "Yes, Huayi has a high fever, I have to go back and check on her! Yes, let's go back to our courtyard!"

He wasn't scared away by Shen Wantang; he ran away on his own because he was worried about Huayi's health!

Shen Wantang watched Xiao Qingyuan flee in disarray, a smile appearing on her lips: "He's gone, very good."

Qin Xin was furious: "Princess Consort, that wretched Hua Yi must have done it on purpose! She must be extremely jealous that the Prince is going to stay here, so she sent a maid to call the Prince back!"

Du Juan's eyes widened in anger: "When Hua Yi was in our courtyard, the Crown Princess treated her so well, but she repaid kindness with enmity. I misjudged her! She's not a good person!"

Granny Chai said worriedly, "Princess Consort, why did you take out your wedding dress and put it on? Did the Prince say something to you? When he came out just now, his face looked very bad..."

"nothing."

Shen Wantang spoke calmly and composedly: "It's just that the young master said he wanted to stay at my place, and I was a little happy, so I thought I'd wear my wedding dress to make him happy too."

Granny Chai was taken aback. What kind of approach was this?

Let's not even go into how unhappy the Crown Prince was on his wedding day. How could the Crown Princess, who is so intelligent, suddenly bring out her wedding dress and show it to the Crown Prince? Wasn't that just hitting a nerve with him?

Qin Xin and Du Juan were also a little stunned; they hadn't expected the Crown Princess to take out her wedding dress and wear it.

The prince was banging on the door and howling inside. Could it be because of this?

Seeing their astonishment, Shen Wantang didn't offer any further explanation. She smiled gently and said, "Alright, stop staring. I'm both thirsty and hungry right now. Go get me some food and a bowl of ginseng soup."

Du Juan quickly replied, "Yes, this servant will go to the kitchen to get it right away!"

Qin Xin's eyes darted around, and she whispered, "Your Highness, may I go out and take a look?"

Shen Wantang was very forgiving: "Alright, go ahead!"

Qin Xin happily agreed and ran out.

Granny Chai couldn't help but say, "The Princess Consort spoils Qin Xin too much. Be careful not to spoil her too much. A maid should act like a maid. It's better to be more respectful."

Shen Wantang smiled and said, "Granny, please keep a close eye on things for me. With you around, the maids won't dare to misbehave. However, I think Qinxin is sensible and won't spoil her."

Granny Chai was pleased to receive her approval and praise.

She thought about it and felt that it was a good thing for her master to be amiable. She, as the nanny, could just be stricter. One of them would play the bad cop, and the other would play the good cop. It would be just right.

The only downside is that the artistic conception is getting out of control lately!
