Chapter 71 Zhao Yu Acts Like a Scoundrel
Zhao Yu held Xu Chumian's upper body tightly, almost half-carrying and half-dragging her towards the bed.
Then, Zhao Yu lay down on the bed.
It was still the spot where Xu Chumian usually slept.
It was the scent Zhao Yu was most familiar with in his previous life.
He misses Xu Chumian, he misses her terribly.
Xu Chumian was knocked down to the foot of the bed by Zhao Yu's force.
"Zhao Yu, you shameless bastard! Get down here!"
Zhao Yu stopped forcibly holding her, and Xu Chumian's hands were freed. She stood by the bed and casually slapped Zhao Yu on the shoulder.
It took almost all of my strength.
With a snap.
Zhao Yu frowned slightly.
Xu Chumian noticed a slight bulge on her shoulder.
Her expression froze.
Zhao Yu leaned against the bed, a barely perceptible smile in his eyes. He clutched his stomach with one hand, his face pale, his usual cold and arrogant demeanor gone.
Xu Chumian's fingers twitched slightly.
A faint smell of blood wafted through the air.
Xu Chumian pursed her lips. "Your wound has reopened. Go back and apply medicine."
Zhao Yu stared intently at her, not missing a single subtle expression.
"I can't walk, I can't get up."
Xu Chumian frowned. "Then let Guanyan come pick you up."
"Guan Yan is not here."
Xu Chumian sneered: "Didn't you also arrange for guards to monitor me? Have them send you back."
"It's not surveillance, it's protection."
Xu Chumian looked at him coldly, her face full of disbelief.
Zhao Yu sighed softly, his narrow phoenix eyes slightly narrowed.
I'm hungry.
"Then leave."
The conversation has fallen into a vicious cycle.
The two remained locked in this stalemate, with Xu Chumian looking helpless, unable to drag the other person off the bed.
She glared at Zhao Yu, her eyes practically killing him.
Zhao Yu had never seen Xu Chumian with this expression in his previous life.
For better or worse, every time Xu Chumian lost control, it was displayed before him.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yu's heart softened a little.
"Plain porridge, you made it. I'll leave after I eat it."
Xu Chumian: "Impossible."
Zhao Yu raised an eyebrow, his face full of roguish charm.
Xu Chumian couldn't resist picking up a small pillow from the bed and throwing it at Zhao Yu.
The small pillow landed precisely on Zhao Yu's chest.
Zhao Yu's gaze faltered slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.
Xu Chumian's chest heaved with anger. "Zhao Yu, you're a scoundrel."
Zhao Yu readily agreed and nodded, making no attempt to hide it.
If he weren't shameless, he wouldn't even be able to see Xu Chuming.
The maids were already asleep, and two guards were patrolling the courtyard.
As soon as Xu Chumian stepped out of the house, she heard footsteps behind her. She pursed her lips slightly and told the two guards to go and rest, since she had hired these people to guard against Zhao Yu anyway.
As a result, it didn't work even once.
There was some rice left over in the evening.
Xu Chumian decided to make do with cooking Zhao Yu a bowl of plain porridge.
She went into the kitchen, and Zhao Yu followed behind her.
Xu Chumian didn't turn around, her voice mocking, "Now you think you're so great?"
Zhao Yu tilted his head slightly, entered the kitchen, and went to the stove to start a fire, his movements casual.
There was no sign of his old injury recurring.
I want to see you.
Xu Chumian paused, looked up, and said with a strange expression, "Zhao Yu, shut up."
Xu Chumian didn't want to say more; she just wanted Zhao Yu to finish his breakfast and leave.
The Xu family's kitchen wasn't small, but Zhao Yu still felt incredibly pressured inside.
The surroundings were quiet as Xu Chumian focused intently on cooking porridge, her profile delicate and gentle.
Zhao Yu looked up at her.
His entire life was intertwined with Xu Chumian.
He will never let go until he dies.
Before long, a steaming bowl of porridge was ready.
Xu Chumian placed it on the table, and she stood to the side with her arms crossed.
"Hurry up and leave after you finish eating."
Zhao Yu's face wasn't as pale as before. He raised an eyebrow slightly. "Aren't you tired of standing?"
Xu Chumian: "It has nothing to do with you."
Zhao Yu pursed his lips slightly, reached out and grabbed Xu Chumian's wrist, pressing her down into the chair.
Zhao Yu released his hand, restraining himself from grasping those soft hands.
"Zhao Yu, I'm warning you, don't push your luck."
Zhao Yu said calmly, "Eat with me."
Xu Chumian was about to get up immediately.
Zhao Yu's eyes darkened. "If you leave, I don't know what I'll do."
Xu Chumian was forced to sit down by Zhao Yu's grip on her wrist.
Zhao Yu always ate slowly and deliberately.
Xu Chumian sat beside him, staring blankly at the night.
It started snowing again during the night.
Zhao Yu's voice suddenly rang out.
"Thinking of Xiao Qingyan?"
Xu Chumian glanced sideways; Zhao Yu's emotions were hard to discern.
Xu Chumian pursed her lips.
"What happened to the Prince of Yan after his defeat in his previous life?"
When the Prince of Yan rebelled, Xu Chumian was still living in Wenju.
Everyone in the capital was on edge. Xu Chumian rarely went out. She knew that the Prince of Yan had rebelled and had gone to the Western Di, but she did not know the fate of the Prince of Yan's two sons.
"He is the son of Prince Ding, and he cannot leave his family."
Prince Ding is destined to rebel, and even if Xiao Qingyan stays in the capital, His Majesty will not tolerate him.
Xu Chumian's face gradually turned pale.
Zhao Yu didn't say anything more. She knew better than anyone what Xu Chumian wanted.
Zhao Yu left only after watching Xu Chumian enter the house.
The room was dimly lit.
Xu Chumian sat on the edge of the bed for a long time without moving.
Zhao Yu meant that Xiao Qingyan's ending in his previous life was tragic.
In her previous life, a few months after she moved into Wenju, Prince Ding rebelled, and Duke Zhao went north to fight against him and died.
After handling his father's funeral, Zhao Yu hurriedly left the capital. A month later, he secretly returned. Even Xu Chumian didn't know what Zhao Yu was busy with. He didn't stay in the capital for long before heading north again.
During his time in the capital, Zhao Yu was in a low mood, and a gloomy atmosphere hung over his residence.
Xu Chumian thought it was the grief of the passing of the Duke of Zhao, and since she had no way to comfort him, she could only stay by Zhao Yu's side.
Xu Chumian's heart was racing; she clenched her fists, her thoughts a jumbled mess.
at the same time.
Shenfu.
Today, the news of Shen Lingyin and the Princess of Xingyang making things difficult for and framing Xu Chumian has spread throughout the aristocratic circles.
These two are noble ladies, after all. Even if they disliked that businesswoman, they could do whatever they wanted in private. They never expected that their scheme would be exposed, and their false accusation would backfire, leaving them humiliated in public. It's truly laughable.
After hearing the servant's report, Shen Lingyin's face darkened completely.
She could imagine how those people mocked her behind her back!
Shame and anger filled Shen Lingyin's heart.
She wished she could tear Xu Chumian to pieces right now!
She should have listened to her instincts and slashed that bitch's face the moment she first saw Xu Chumian!
It was better than Xu Chumian secretly getting involved with Zhao Yu later.
That bitch.
Chen Lingyin angrily flung all the rouge and powder from the dressing table onto the floor.
The maidservant spoke up, "Miss, the snow appreciation banquet is just around the corner. Why don't we have another fight then?"
Xu Chumian gritted her teeth and said, "Go and find me ten beggars."
"yes."
After the snow appreciation banquet, Xu Chumian will become a promiscuous woman who is available to all men. At that time, Shen Lingyin does not believe that Xiao Qingyan and Zhao Yu will still want her!
Tomorrow, she will have to go to Xingyang again.
"Has the Crown Prince sent anything these past two days?"
The personal maid shook her head.
"Never."
Shen Lingyin frowned. In the past, the Crown Prince would often fawn over her. What was wrong with him lately?
Shen Lingyin's days of leisure are over. After seeing Xingyang tomorrow, she will go to see the Prince of Qin.
