Chapter 75: This princess never wants to see you again!
Ruan Yunsheng said unhappily, "I don't want to marry a son-in-law anymore. If the emperor insists on granting me a marriage, I will become a nun!"
Seeing his sister return to Yuehuayuan in a depressed mood, Ruan Yunbo couldn't laugh even if he wanted to.
He thought about it, then turned and headed towards Guanlan Courtyard.
At this time, Xie Yan had just returned.
Mo Ying was lying on the wall. He saw Ruan Yunbo coming from a distance and quickly said through the window, "Your Highness, the Third Young Master is here!"
Xie Yan quickly changed his clothes, took off his mask and lay down on the bed.
Ruan Yunbo was not shy and pushed open the door and walked in.
"Fifth brother, are you feeling better today?"
Xie Yan leaned weakly against the headboard, "Third brother, what's wrong..."
Before he could finish his words, they both froze in shock.
Xie Yan's heart tightened. He came back in such a hurry and was so restless that he even forgot to take the antidote for the "Cicada Pill"!
His voice was hoarse now, and it wasn't his usual voice at all!
Ruan Yunbo frowned, "What's wrong with your throat?"
Xie Yan coughed forcefully a few times and lowered his voice: "I coughed all night last night and my throat is hoarse."
Ruan Yunbo sighed heavily, "How did your body become so weak? You were fine before in the Marquis' Mansion."
Xie Yan was afraid of revealing his flaws, so he spoke sparingly, "Third brother, do you want to talk to me about something?"
Ruan Yunbo sighed again, "It's all because of Shengsheng."
Xie Yan asked anxiously, "What happened to Shengsheng?"
Ruan Yunbo told him the whole story.
She was so angry that she slapped her gold-sprinkled folding fan against her palm and said angrily, "Tell me, is that man blind?"
When Xie Yan heard that Ruan Yunsheng had returned, he was in a bad mood, his breathing was slightly choked, and his heart ached.
He said hoarsely: "Perhaps... that person has some difficulties."
Ruan Yunbo snorted coldly, "What hardship could there be? In my opinion, he is clearly toying with Shengsheng's feelings!"
"Don't let me know who that man is, otherwise, I will definitely knock his head off!"
Xie Yan was silent for a moment, then whispered, "That man really deserves to die..."
Ruan Yunbo said, "I came here to borrow your secret guard to investigate the identity of that person."
Xie Yan hesitated: "What happens after we find out?"
Ruan Yunbo said loudly: "Of course, we should drive him out of Shengjing and never allow him to appear in front of Shengsheng again!"
"Don't let me know which bastard dared to seduce my sister behind my back, otherwise... humph!"
Xie Yan swallowed and said, "I'll send someone to check it out."
Ruan Yunbo was puzzled. "This is really strange. Shengsheng has always been well-behaved. How could she have met such an unreliable man?"
He scolded the ungrateful wild man again, and only after a while did he notice Xie Yan's increasingly pale face.
He said worriedly, "Fifth brother, you look so pale, and your throat is so sore... I won't bother you anymore. Have a good rest. I'll ask the kitchen to stew some pear juice for you later."
After Ruan Yunbo left, Xie Yan's mood completely sank to the bottom.
He clearly wanted Shengsheng to be happy, but he always made her angry.
Shengsheng wants "Chuwu" to accompany her, so he can stop being Xie Yan and pretend to be Chuwu to stay with her for the rest of his life.
But fake is fake, and lies will be exposed sooner or later.
Once Shengsheng found out that he had lied to her for so many years, he couldn't even imagine how much Shengsheng would hate him.
He finally moved back into the Marquis' Mansion and gained Ruan Yunbo's approval. Shengsheng was no longer as repulsive to him as before.
They can meet each other often, and everything is going in a good direction...
He had pretended to be Chuwu just to have a chance to get close to Shengsheng. Now that Chuwu had made Shengsheng so angry, it was time for him to leave.
From now on, he will accompany Sheng Sheng openly and for a long time under the identity of Xie Yan.
As for the fifth day, I believe Shengsheng will forget it soon.

After nightfall.
Ruan Yunsheng lay in bed and couldn't fall asleep.
She thought of the scent of makeup on Xie Yan's body, and wondered how many women had been around him in the past five years.
Oh, yes, when Xie Yan becomes the crown prince and then the emperor, he will have three palaces and six courtyards.
He was so proud!
Suddenly she thought of Chuwu's stumbling rejection of her. He was the man who always obeyed her in everything, but was unwilling to be her prince.
Ruan Yunsheng was so angry that she slapped the quilt and said, "There are many people who want to be a princess! This princess doesn't want one!"
At this moment, two familiar dog barks suddenly came from outside the window.
Ruan Yunsheng's eyelashes trembled, but she did not stand up.
Humph, you rejected her during the day, why are you here again now?
She closed her eyes tightly and pretended not to hear.
But outside, three more "Woof woof woof" sounds were heard.
Ruan Yunsheng took a deep breath and jumped out of bed. What if there was news about his fourth brother?
She put on her clothes and opened the window, and sure enough, Chuwu was standing outside.
Ruan Yunsheng's face was tense. "What's the matter?"
Xie Yan's voice was hoarse: "Princess, I... I have accepted a mission and will be away from Shengjing for a while, probably three to five months, or maybe one or two years."
"During this period, if the princess has any questions, she can go to the Awakening World Tower to find Chu Qi. Someone has been trying to find out about the Fourth Young Master. Once there is a clue, Chu Qi will send someone to notify the princess."
Ruan Yunsheng laughed in anger, "This princess only mentioned that you could become a princess, and you didn't want to, and I didn't force you. Do you really have to hide away for several years?"
"If you had known this, why did you come back before?"
Xie Yan quickly explained, "Princess, I'm not hiding from you, I really have a mission."
Ruan Yunsheng didn't believe it at all. He would go out to do tasks before the fifth day of the New Year, but usually for three to five days, or at most ten days or half a month.
He left for a year or two, wasn't it just to avoid her?
She didn't know she was so scary that she could scare people away with just one sentence!
She said coldly, "You don't have to hide from Shengjing. I won't bother you again. Go!"
When Ruan Yunsheng got angry, Xie Yan instantly panicked.
He hurriedly said, "Princess, don't be angry, otherwise... I won't accept that mission."
Now Ruan Yunsheng was even angrier!
So, any task is an excuse!
Her eyes suddenly swept over the rabbit lantern hanging on the shelf next to her. She picked up the rabbit lantern and threw it directly at Chuwu.
"Go away! This princess never wants to see you again!"
After saying that, he slammed the window shut!
Xie Yan held the rabbit lantern in his arms, standing there at a loss, and after a while he returned to Guanlan Courtyard in a daze.
On the day he came to the Marquis's residence, he brought with him a lot of luggage, including a rosewood box inlaid with mother-of-pearl, wrapped in brocade, every inch of which was exquisitely crafted.
The things in this box are all his treasures.
After opening the box, the things inside came into view, including the handkerchief that Shengsheng accidentally dropped, the hairpin she had worn, the brush she used as a child, the rice paper with graffiti on it... and the sticks left over from when she finished eating the candied haws.
All were carefully wrapped in brocade and neatly placed inside.
Xie Yan touched the rabbit lamp in his arms.
When he saw the rabbit lantern, he remembered the happy smile on Shengsheng's face when he bought the rabbit lantern from the stall.
Xie Yan couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, then he sighed deeply and carefully put the rabbit lamp into the box.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the window!
