Chapter 232: Room Allocation
Shen Anan would never have thought that her one order would cause so much trouble.
Thinking that Shen Yunbai's matter would be discussed at the court this morning, she sat in the room waiting for Xiao Yuan to come back.
"Son-in-law." Mo Xiang's trembling voice came from outside.
She didn't raise her eyes. "You're back?"
No one spoke, only the sound of heavy footsteps could be heard in the house.
She frowned slightly, looked up, and met Xiao Yuan's ink-black pupils, which were filled with the lust she was familiar with, and... anger?
She quickly went over in her mind what she had done today, making sure she hadn't done anything to make him angry, let alone have an affair.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Xiao Yuan said nothing, strode forward, lifted her up onto his shoulders, and walked towards the bed.
Shen Anan was thrown into a thick quilt, her whole body sank into it, the soft touch wrapped her whole body, but she was nervous.
"You...what happened to you? Did you take Chinese medicine?"
Xiao Yuan said nothing, and just suppressed his anger, not giving her a chance to speak again.
The gauze curtain fell, and he did not suppress or conceal himself at all. The creaking sound of the bed and Shen Anan's suppressed voice echoed in the room.
She tried to escape several times, but he held her waist and made it difficult for her to move.
When everything calmed down, it was already after lunch. Shen Anan's stomach growled with hunger, and she supported her extremely sore body to get dressed and get out of bed.
The pair of dark eyes behind her stared at her.
She had a cold face and didn't want to pay attention.
After changing and washing up, Mo Xiang served lunch, "What is this?"
Shen Anan pointed to a bowl of black medicine and asked.
Mo Xiang turned and looked at Xiao Yuan who came out from the inner room.
The thing was given by her brother-in-law, and she didn't know what it was.
Shen Anan also looked over there, but as soon as she saw Xiao Yuan, she felt a severe pain in her waist.
Xiao Yuan waved his hand to let Mo Xiang retreat, brought the bowl of black medicine in front of him, and stirred it slowly with a spoon.
"Are you ill?"
"No."
"So what kind of medicine is this?"
"It's for nourishing the body."
To replenish...the body?
Shen Anan was stunned. Is he weak? I didn't notice.
Xiao Yuan glanced at her with a sad look, "I originally caught it for you."
"???"
"I'm in good health, not weak."
As soon as these words came out, she clearly felt that Xiao Yuan's face became even colder, and his eyes seemed to be filled with ice.
"I heard that you asked Qingfeng to find an actor, a man with a delicate appearance and eight feet tall?"
"Seven foot seven."
Xiao Yuan sneered, "That's a demanding request."
"...Is there...any problem?" Shen Anan obviously noticed something was wrong and asked tentatively.
Xiao Yuan picked up the medicine bowl and took a sip, "Mo Xiang said that the main house didn't order water last night."
“……???”
What a mess.
Shen Anan stared at Xiao Yuan blankly, who suddenly leaned over and stared at her with a sense of oppression, "Is this what Madam meant? Are you dissatisfied with your husband's performance?"
"No, absolutely not." Shen Anan held up three fingers and swore.
He turned around and called to Mo Xiang at the door, "Get in here."
Mo Xiang shuddered when he heard the voice and quickly pushed the door open, "Sir, Princess, what happened?"
The girl had never scolded her so rudely before.
"You...you..." Shen Anan opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't ask the question, so she turned her gaze to Xiao Yuan.
The latter just stared at her without blinking, with undercurrents in his narrowed eyes.
Thinking of what happened in bed just now, she gritted her teeth and asked, "You told others that the main house didn't call for water last night?"
"...No, I..." Mo Xiang's voice stopped abruptly. She suddenly remembered something and looked at her son-in-law's ugly face. Cold sweat fell on her face.
"It wasn't me, it was... it was Qingfeng. He came to ask me and even dragged me to a place where there was no one..."
"..." Shen Anan looked at Xiao Yuan, "Qingfeng is yours."
Now both of them understood. Xiao Yuan frowned, his face gloomy, "Why did you ask him to find an actor?"
"Imitate Shin Yoon Baek."
"Ahem." Xiao Yuan clenched his fist and coughed a few times, "You didn't even explain clearly what you were imitating him for."
Shen Anan said nothing, staring at Xiao Yuan unhappily.
You want to brush it off with just a few words? Was all her suffering in vain?
——
In the evening, Qingfeng finally filled all the water buckets in the prince's mansion. He returned to the study and saw his master sitting behind the desk and Qing'an was making the bed.
"Master, are you going to sleep in the study tonight?"
Qing'an didn't even have time to wink at him. After Qingfeng finished speaking, he only felt a cold gaze falling on him.
Did he...say the wrong thing again?
"Thanks to you, I have been sleeping in the study these days."
"..." Qingfeng stammered "Oh", and then heard Xiao Yuan's cold voice continue.
"Qing'an has been working hard these days. You will be the one keeping watch. Sleep on the floor outside the study."
"????"
"Master," he stammered, "In fact, it is also very hard for me to take care of the prince's wife."
Xiao Yuan looked at him with cold eyes without a trace of warmth.
"Then... can you please not sleep at the door? It's so embarrassing with so many people coming and going."
“…”
Under Xiao Yuan's intimidating gaze, Qing Feng slowly lowered his head and said, "Yes, I understand."
——
Mo Xiang silently made the bed, not daring to ask a single question as she helped Shen Anan undress and take off her hairpins.
Before leaving, he couldn't help but ask, "Princess, my uncle said that the bowl of medicine was specially prescribed for you by the imperial physician."
"Let him eat it."
“…”
If you let your son-in-law eat it, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it.
She glanced at the bracelet on Shen Anan's wrist and said happily, "Miss, are you planning to ask your uncle for a young master?"
Shen Anan pulled her sleeves down to cover the bracelet, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Hurry up and get off."
Mo Xiangfu stepped back and closed the door from the outside. Shen Anan sat cross-legged on the bed, regretting that she had driven him away too early.
I forgot to ask what happened at the morning court today and what official position the emperor gave to Shen Yunbai.
what to do? Go find him?
She was not very happy about it, but she was really upset and wanted to know the result.
Forget it, go to sleep. She pulled the quilt over her head and closed her eyes.
Late at night, the quiet house made a slight creaking sound and the window frame opened a crack.
Mo Xiang rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked closer to the window with the lantern in hand. The next moment he stood there in a daze.
Xiao Yuan sat half of his body on the window frame, looking at Mo Xiang with cold eyes, and said coldly, "Put out the lantern."
"Oh, oh oh." Mo Xiang quickly blew out the lantern and hid behind him.
After Xiao Yuan jumped into the main house, he did not forget to considerately close the window frame, turned around and patted his head hard, "You are really sick. Why are you up in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
