Chapter 150 Serving Tea
The Duke of Zhao's mansion was extremely large.
Heyun Courtyard is located in the western part of the mansion. It is the largest courtyard in the western part, and Zhao Yu has expanded it considerably.
The scenery in the courtyard is excellent.
Along the way, people greeted the young couple.
Xu Chumian walked slowly, her hand held tightly by him. Her brows were still slightly furrowed, but she looked much better than when she gave Zhao Yu the cold shoulder a few days ago.
Several maids followed behind him.
Suddenly, when we reached the corner...
When no one was watching behind him, Zhao Yu leaned down slightly and placed a kiss on the woman's forehead.
Xu Chumian bit her lip and whispered a warning to him, "Zhao Yu! What if someone sees us?"
Zhao Yu smiled, "Don't worry, no one will see."
Xu Chumian stopped in her tracks, her eyes filled with rejection.
"You always do this, making me do everything I don't like."
Zhao Yu's eyes narrowed slightly as he glanced at the maid behind him.
Granny Liang immediately led her people to a stop.
Zhao Yu's voice sounded almost like he was coaxing her, "Okay, then I won't do it anymore."
Xu Chumian's eyelids twitched slightly. "Really?"
Zhao Yu was amused by her doubtful expression.
"Do it when no one is around."
Xu Chumian couldn't resist grabbing Zhao Yu's waist and pinching it.
But I can't turn anything.
Zhao Yu tilted his head, his tone meaningful: "You can pinch my cheeks."
Xu Chumian glared at him: "You wish!"
Zhao Yu smiled and leaned close to Xu Chumian's ear.
"You can pinch her slowly when we get back to Heyun Courtyard."
Zhao Yu is shameless.
Xu Chumian had a sense of shame; she tried to shake off Zhao Yu and walk forward on her own.
Zhao Yu tightened his grip on her hand again. "Alright, let's go."
For the rest of the journey, Zhao Yu refrained from saying any more reckless things.
The Duke of Zhao has not yet returned.
Sitting at the head of the table were Old Madam Zhao and Madam Zhang.
On the right are the members of the second branch of the family, and on the left are the elders of the Zhao family clan.
Everyone inside the hall was eagerly waiting for the young couple to arrive.
Soon, commotion could be heard outside.
Everyone turned their gazes outwards.
Upon seeing the two arrive hand in hand, everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that they were a match made in heaven, a perfect couple.
Zhao Yu had an outstanding appearance since childhood, and his temperament was like a clear bamboo in the mountains, calm yet aloof. Xu Chumian, who was beside him, was not overwhelmed by Zhao Yu's aura. Her delicate and beautiful face was quiet and gentle. Although Xu Chumian was a princess who was temporarily appointed, her appearance and demeanor were in no way inferior to noble ladies. She was also much more approachable than Zhao Yu.
The couple stood side by side, a sight to behold, their demeanor exuding an indescribable harmony.
Xu Chumian still had a lingering blush on her face.
When Zhang saw the two clasped hands brushing against Xu Chumian's neck, she finally felt a little relieved.
Zhao Yu also shed his gloom from the previous days, and the sinister look in his eyes had lessened considerably.
Madam Zhao nodded with a smile.
Zhao Yu and Xu Chumian first paid their respects to their grandmother, followed by Madam Zhang.
Both elders gave extremely generous gifts upon meeting.
Next came the people who recognized the second wife.
They were all old acquaintances.
Xu Chumian has met them all.
Zhao Lingyao winked at Xu Chumian.
Xu Chumian smiled and said, "Your Highness."
Seeing that Xu Chumian was in a better mood, Zhao Lingyao felt relieved.
After serving the tea, Zhao Yu took Xu Chumian back to Heyun Courtyard.
Next came the task of recognizing distant servants and maids, and managing Zhao Yu's private property.
Zhao Yu owns many properties, and it has only just been completed in two thick volumes.
Previously, Guan Yan had been in charge of managing it.
Now that the mistress has arrived, the matter has naturally been handed over to Xu Chumian.
On the soft couch in the inner room, Xu Chumian's attention was focused on the account books, completely ignoring Zhao Yu beside her.
I watched it for about fifteen minutes.
Zhao Yu then pulled the book from her hand.
"Go and rest for a while, this isn't urgent."
Xu Chumian looked hesitant, but she didn't want to be with Zhao Yu, which was why she was looking at the account books alone.
Otherwise, if the two went back to bed, given Zhao Yu's nature, it would be completely impossible for him not to do anything.
Sure enough, Xu Chumian had just lain down when...
Zhao Yu then embraced her with his large hands.
As summer approaches, people wear light clothing indoors.
If you're not careful, someone behind you might accidentally start a fight.
Xu Chumian braced herself against him with her elbow, "Zhao Yu, don't do anything rash."
"Don't get the wrong idea, I'm just giving you a massage to relax your muscles."
Xu Chumian bit her lip. "You don't need to come."
Zhao Yu raised an eyebrow and leaned down to kiss Xu Chumian's ear.
Tender caresses.
Xu Chumian kicked him, her face full of resistance.
Zhao Yu chuckled calmly, "Not bad, you still have the strength to kick me."
Xu Chumian froze, and moved a little further away from Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu sighed softly, "Do you think I'm just a lecherous playboy?"
Xu Chumian sneered, "You know perfectly well."
Zhao Yu: "I promise I won't do anything."
Zhao Yu was very skilled at serving Xu Chumian, and he was always observing Xu Chumian's expression.
She frowned slightly, and he loosened his grip a little.
In a short period of time.
Xu Chumian's aches and pains subsided considerably.
Zhao Yu: "And the ointment."
The image of the last time I applied the medicine flashed through my mind.
Xu Chumian blushed. "I can do it myself."
Zhao Yu glanced at her but didn't respond.
He left but quickly returned.
Zhao Yu applied some ointment to his middle finger, his expression indifferent: "Get some rest after you finish applying the medicine. You still have dinner with your mother and grandmother tonight."
Xu Chumian: "Then I'll do it myself."
Zhao Yu: "You can't reach inside."
Xu Chumian casually tossed a pillow over.
Zhao Yu used the pillow to support Xu Chumian's lower back.
Xu Chumian: "..."
Zhao Yu reassured her in a low voice, "It will pass quickly. You didn't touch me last night, and I wasn't angry, was I?"
Xu Chumian kicked Zhao Yu in the leg.
A man's low chuckle came from the foot of the bed.
"Okay, I'm not angry anymore."
Xu Chumian covered his face with his hands.
Soon, a chill ran down my body.
Xu Chumian bit her lip.
Zhao Yu gazed intently at Xu Chumian's face, his eyes filled with deep affection.
Zhao Yu quickly dressed her, then took the ointment, got out of bed, and left.
Xu Chumian wrapped herself up in the quilt, leaving no gaps.
A short while later, Zhao Yu returned to her side.
Xu Chumian puffed out her cheeks. "Aren't you going to attend to your official duties?"
Zhao Yu: "I'll stay at the manor with you for three days after the wedding."
Xu Chumian: "I don't need you to accompany me."
Zhao Yu lifted Xu Chumian's blanket and pulled her into his arms with a powerful embrace.
"If I'm not home while my wife is at home, what will you do if you suffer any mistreatment?"
The more they talked, the less serious they became.
Xu Chumian shrank herself to the inside of the bed.
Zhao Yu dragged the person out again.
Xu Chumian sat up, unable to bear it any longer. "Zhao Yu, are you sick in the head?"
Zhao Yu is now willing to risk everything.
He played with Xu Chumian's hand, then brought it to his lips and kissed it.
He hummed in agreement, "He's quite ill."
