Chapter 145 Sorry, My Wife is Jealous
Yu Nian didn't sleep well all night.
Can anyone tell her what medicine she should give Chunyu Han for his biting habit?
Yu Nian really didn't want to admit that it was a kiss. If she could rate Chunyu Han's kissing skills, Yu Nian would give him half a star at most!
"Oh dear, miss, your lips are sore again."
Chuntao seemed to understand which dog her young lady was referring to.
"What is this thing?"
Yu Nian sat in front of the dressing table and saw a brocade box she had never seen before.
"This was sent over by my son-in-law. He said it was a calligraphy practice book for you. He also said you have to practice for three hours every day. When you come back, my son-in-law will check it. If it's not good, he said you can forget about going on the autumn hunt."
Yu Nian's face fell. What era is this? She still has to be given homework!
Chunyu Han was blatantly threatening her.
Writing for three hours is six hours in total. This is a form of house arrest for Chunyu Han. He must be exhausted from writing for so long.
Yu Nian opened the brocade box, and the calligraphy that caught her eye was not the small regular script that Chunyu Han had given her last time. Upon closer inspection, the calligraphy looked very much like Chunyu Han's, but the curved strokes had a touch more of the gentleness that a woman should have.
"By the way, Miss, Canghai told me quietly that this calligraphy was written by the young master himself. He's so busy, it's really thoughtful of him."
Yu Nian thought that since she had escaped last time by making up a lie, she wouldn't have to suffer this again. Little did she know that the devil was one foot taller than the saint...
It really was written by him; he clearly had ulterior motives, more like he was deliberately trying to torment her.
"You seem to have a very good relationship with Canghai?"
Yu Nian twitched her nose, as if she had caught a whiff of gossip.
Chuntao quickly lowered her head and continued combing Yu Nian's hair.
"We just chat occasionally."
Tsk tsk tsk, still won't admit it. Yu Nian could see it clearly in the mirror; this girl was holding the comb upside down.
Actually, Canghai is not bad either. He is tall and mighty, and handsome. Most importantly, he usually seems like a normal person, unlike his master who is awkward, aloof and loves to torment people.
It's impossible to ask Yu Nian to practice calligraphy for six hours straight. She practiced calligraphy for an hour, and her wrists started to ache.
"Chuntao, I have to go now. Could you help me finish drawing the rest when you have time?"
Today, Yu Nian met with the gullible Crown Prince at Sanhua Tower to discuss business. This guy is always causing trouble for the Yu family, so this time Yu Nian is determined to squeeze him dry and make him bleed.
"Oh? Miss, where are you going again?"
When it comes to calligraphy, Chun Tao is just as bad as Yu Nian. When she saw the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, her head was even bigger than Yu Nian's.
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
Yu Nian went back to her room to change into men's clothing and quietly climbed over the wall to leave the Regent's Mansion.
She stuffed a set of clothes into her spatial storage and booked a superior room at the inn as a decoy, using it as a transit point each time to avoid arousing Li Mingjin's suspicion.
When they arrived at Sanhua Tower, Li Mingjin was actually earlier than Yu Nian.
Moreover, besides Li Mingjin, there was actually another person in the private room!
"I'm sorry to have kept Young Master Mu waiting."
Yu Nian took a voice-changing pill beforehand and bowed to Li Mingjin with her hands clasped.
"Mr. Jin, you're too kind. I just arrived too."
Both men wore fake smiles and used false names, engaging in perfunctory exchanges. Aside from money, there was nothing genuine between them.
Yu Nian glanced at the table and chuckled inwardly. You've only just arrived, but I see you've already drunk a cup of tea.
Who is this?
Yu Nian actually recognized another person here; the original owner had a deep impression of this person in her memories, but she still had to pretend.
"Oh, this is my friend and business partner, her name is Meng Qing'er."
As Li Mingjin introduced Meng Qing'er to Yu Nian, Meng Qing'er rose gracefully to greet him.
You fussy prince! You use a fake name yourself, but when you get to someone else's place, you expect them to fight you for real.
Yu Nian didn't show it on his face, but in his heart he thought to himself: Consort Meng, I've heard so much about you.
Yes, the beautiful woman before him with delicate features is the concubine that Li Mingjin will marry in the future, the daughter of Grand Tutor Meng, and also the sweetheart of her third brother Yu Sheng.
Meng Qing'er, who has so many aliases, is not as harmless as she appears on the surface; this woman is quite cunning.
In the original owner's memories alone, when they were both concubines, the original owner couldn't survive more than three rounds with this top-tier green tea bitch.
"Hello, Mr. Jin. Qing'er has often heard Young Master Mu mention you. It's truly better to meet you in person than to just hear about you."
Meng Qing'er smiled as she looked at Yu Nian. To be honest, when Yu Nian first entered the room, her eyes were so captivating that they almost dazzled her. They looked just like Yu Sheng's.
She even wondered if only people who look like this can do well in business.
Yu Nian signed a transfer agreement for the shop with Li Mingjin.
During this time, Meng Qing'er served tea and water very attentively. As the only legitimate daughter of the Grand Tutor, she was known for her talent. Yu Nian felt that she was being too kind to do this.
"Qing'er is a tea master, she brews excellent tea. I wonder if she suits Mr. Jin's taste?"
Li Mingjin's words almost made Yu Nian choke on her tea. Your Highness, do you really know how to praise people?
However, Yu Nian also understood Li Mingjin's meaning from his words; he was using his beauty to seduce her.
Moreover, he uses one plan for multiple purposes. Judging from Li Mingjin's skillful moves, Meng Qing'er, this beauty, has probably schemed against countless people.
Similarly, Li Mingjin wouldn't let Yu Zhirou do this; that's true love for her.
"Very good."
Yu Nian quipped that once the shop contract was signed, the matter was considered settled, and Yu Nian thought it was time to slip away.
"Since you like it, then let Qing'er make you another cup. I'll go wash my hands first, please excuse me."
Li Mingjin stood up, and before leaving, he gave Meng Qing'er a look. He had called Meng Qing'er here today mainly to find out the truth about this gold bar.
Seeing Li Mingjin leave, Meng Qing'er picked up the teapot and sat down next to Yao Yunian.
"Don't move, young lady!"
Yu Nian quickly shouted that she really had no interest in beautiful women.
"What's wrong with Boss Jin? Has he grown tired of Qing'er?"
Meng Qing'er and Yu Nianzhi were about three feet apart, a distance not suitable for whispering.
No.
Yu Nianqing cleared his throat and spoke with righteous indignation.
"But my wife is jealous. If she smells other women's perfume on me, she'll probably be unhappy."
When Yu Nian said this, she couldn't help but think of Chunyu Han's devilishly handsome face and his intense desire for control.
“Being jealous is a crime punishable by seven offenses. Moreover, it is common for merchants to engage in diplomatic exchanges. If my husband were a man of outstanding talent like Mr. Jin, I would never do something that would cut off my husband’s source of income.”
Meng Qing'er put on a well-behaved act and tried to get closer to Yu Nian, but she tripped and fell to the ground on purpose, looking pitiful.
If an ordinary person saw this, they would definitely come over to help Meng Qing'er up; that's how Yu Sheng was won over by her back then.
Yu Nian immediately stood up, not only ignoring Meng Qing'er, but also seemingly angrily bowing and taking her leave.
“You are mistaken, young lady. My wife is a priceless treasure in my eyes, more valuable than any source of wealth. I have other matters to attend to, so I will not wait for you any longer, Young Master Mu.”
After Yu Nian finished speaking, she deftly tossed her robe and turned to leave. A chill ran through her heart; if her third brother saw what was happening today, he would probably go crazy.
When Li Mingjin returned to the room just in time, he only saw Meng Qing'er sitting on the floor, on the verge of tears...
