We've finished eating.
Zhao Cheng wiped his mouth, his gaze falling on Yuan Yun's back, and reached out to touch a wound.
"Ah Yun, this scar... was it from back then?"
Yuan Yun lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and said, "It seems you already know, so I don't need to explain. Do you dislike it?"
Zhao Cheng then touched another, slightly smaller scar and said, "It feels nice."
"You're so annoying!" Yuan Yunqu kicked Zhao Cheng with her heel.
Even so, Yuan Yun breathed a sigh of relief. Zhao Cheng had defused the situation with a joke, which meant he really didn't care.
Zhao Cheng sighed, "You've had such a hard life before. From now on, just be happy and be my wife!"
Yuan Yun turned over and grabbed Zhao Cheng's hand, saying, "The Right Chancellor and his wife told you all this so that you wouldn't dare marry me. Why do you still want to marry me?"
Zhao Cheng said, "Disobeying an imperial decree is punishable by death. How could I dare not marry him?"
Yuan Yun kicked Zhao Cheng again, laughing and cursing, "You rascal!"
"Don't worry, that's all in the past. My parents won't hold it against me."
Zhao Cheng suppressed it.
Yuan Yun raised her hands to block Zhao Cheng and asked, "If your mother and I have a conflict, whose side will you take?"
Zhao Cheng's lips twitched, and she said, "You are the eldest princess, can't you be a little different and not ask such cliché questions?"
"But this is an unavoidable issue."
"Then you should eliminate this problem and never have any conflicts with my mother again!"
"Hmph, you're just trying to help your mother by saying that."
Zhao Cheng sighed and said, "You don't know my family's situation. With respect for my mother, even my father is a grandson..."
After saying that, Zhao Cheng pried Yuan Yun's hand away and pressed it against hers.
Yuan Yun asked suspiciously, "What?"
"Let's have a late-night snack."
"Didn't you just eat?"
"I have a big appetite, I'm not full!!"
The next day.
The magpies are chirping.
The door to the new house was open, and Atao was doing Yuan Yun's makeup, while Zhao Cheng sat on a chair with his brows furrowed.
Donghua came in from outside and asked in confusion, "Master, you wanted to see me?"
Zhao Cheng asked, "I heard you were in charge of purchasing my wedding bed?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Look for yourself!"
Donghua looked at the wedding bed and was immediately stunned.
One corner of the new bed collapsed, half of the sheet fell to the ground, a bed beam drooped down, and the bed curtains were sticking out haphazardly.
Donghua exclaimed in surprise, "So powerful!"
"Bullshit!" Zhao Cheng shouted, "It has nothing to do with whether I'm fierce or not. You got ripped off, didn't you? With this kind of quality, you still dare to use it as a wedding bed?"
"I'll get someone to fix it right away!"
"Forget repairs, just give me a new one!"
Yuan Yun suddenly said, "Donghua, you're Yang Cai'e's sister, right?"
Donghua was taken aback for a moment, then quickly replied, "Yes, Princess!"
Yuan Yun said, "Why are you still calling me Princess?"
Dong Hua immediately changed her address: "Young Mistress!"
Most of the servants in the manor addressed Zhao Huan and Mu Zhaojun as their lord and mistress, respectively, and Zhao Cheng as their young master. However, close maids like Dong Hua were accustomed to calling Mu Zhaojun "Madam" and Zhao Cheng "Master." Therefore, calling Yuan Yun "Young Mistress" was the most formal way to address her.
Yuan Yun smiled and looked at Dong Hua's reflection in the bronze mirror, saying, "Let's find someone to repair it as you said. Don't replace it; it's bad luck."
Dong Hua looked at Zhao Cheng.
Zhao Cheng nodded and said, "Then let's fix it. Make sure the quality is good!"
“Yes…” Dong Hua retreated dejectedly, still thinking about Yuan Yun’s words.
Suddenly, the question came up to my sister.
What does that mean?
Inside the room, Zhao Cheng said, "You suspect that Dong Hua did it on purpose?"
Yuan Yun said, "I didn't say that."
“Donghua wouldn’t do that, she’s very simple-minded.” Zhao Cheng walked behind Yuan Yun, put his hand on her shoulder, and said, “This will be your own home from now on, not a palace. You don’t have to live such a tiring life anymore. No one in the family will harm you.”
“Home…” Yuan Yun murmured softly as if in a dream, and nodded.
Am I pretty?
"She's as beautiful as an angel, much prettier than the paintings by Master Tu!"
After the minor incident of repairing the wedding bed in the early morning, Zhao Cheng led Yuan Yun to pay respects to her parents.
Zhao Huan and Mu Zhaojun sat upright, receiving tea from Yuan Yun.
The two men were very easygoing with Yuan Yun, and Yuan Yun was also very polite; they maintained a kind of 'tacit understanding' with each other.
Besides Zhao Cheng and Yuan Yun, Zhao Yang and Park Yoo-hee were also there; they had arrived earlier than Zhao Cheng.
Mu Zhaojun gave Zhao Cheng a reproachful look and said, "You didn't even arrive as early as your younger brother."
“Special circumstances…” Zhao Cheng glanced at Yuan Yun and said, “Our wedding bed wasn’t up to standard, it collapsed.”
puff!
Zhao Huan, who was still sipping tea in his mouth, spat it out upon hearing this.
Mu Zhaojun glared at Zhao Huan and snapped, "What are you doing in front of your daughter-in-law?!"
"You've drunk too much." Zhao Huan waved his hand and asked, "Has it been fixed?"
"Donghua has made the arrangements."
“You’ve always been a restless sleeper, so let Donghua tuck you in.”
As he spoke, Zhao Cheng glanced at Yuan Yun and saw that Yuan Yun was still smiling.
At this moment, Park Yoo-hee brought over tea and presented it to Zhao Cheng and Yuan Yun with both hands.
"Brother, have some tea."
"Sister-in-law, have some tea."
Mu Zhaojun looked at Park Yoo-hee with satisfaction and said, "Yo-hee is so sensible."
Yuan Yun remained calm and said that saying the second daughter-in-law was sensible was a veiled criticism of me, the eldest daughter-in-law, for being insensible.
Zhao Huan seemed even more nervous than Zhao Cheng, and quickly said with a smile, "I really didn't expect that Huang Da would become my daughter-in-law!"
