Chapter 283 We Don't Want It Either
A cheerful female voice rang out behind Princess Jingning.
She turned around and saw a dashing woman standing not far behind her. This woman was different from ordinary girls in the capital; she had a commanding presence that made people want to take a second look.
"Are you Miss Yun?"
Yun Shuyue lived on the border for many years, and Princess Jingning only had a few glimpses of her at palace banquets.
Looking at it up close now, I don't know why, but I feel a little uncomfortable all over.
She assumed that Yun Shuyue had the air of a general, and that she, a weak woman, felt uncomfortable because of it. "What are you doing here, Miss Yun?"
Yun Shuyue stepped forward, grabbed Qiuqiu, and put her down on Princess Jingning. "Look at the little one. She even ran away halfway."
Chuchu smiled shyly, "Hehe."
Gao Wenyan felt awkward and took the initiative to change the subject, "Your Highness, Princess Funing does not need to come to school. You can take her back to the palace now."
Fu Ning glared at Gao Wenyan, "How dare someone try to separate me from my friends!"
There were no children his own age in the palace, and Fu Ning was usually quite bored. If it weren't for wanting to find friends, who would be so eager to come to school!
Fu Ning stepped forward and pushed Gao Wenyan back, using her eyes to tell this cruel man that she would never agree to him becoming her brother-in-law.
This made Qiuqiu incredibly happy. "Be my brother-in-law! My sister and I both really like him!"
“Woo woo woo!”
Yun Shuyue immediately covered Qiuqiu's mouth with a slap, saying, "Who likes him!"
Chiu Chiu blinked innocently, "[Sis, we don't want it either?]"
Fu Ning, who was always lazy and sluggish, quickly pulled her sister aside and spoke much more clearly than Qiu Qiu, "Sister, we don't want it either."
Princess Jingning looked bewildered: "Huh?"
What don’t you want?
A sense of injustice rose in Yun Shuyue's heart. If you don't want it, then she doesn't want it either. She pulled her little sister to the other side.
Gao Wenyan, who was just a target of secret competition, suddenly became universally disliked.
Gao Wenyan: "Can you tell me what you don't want?"
Chuchu & Fu Ning: "You!"
Gao Wenyan: "..."
He laughed, then pointed to the two little ones: "Please wait outside, Princess and Miss Yun, I am about to begin my lesson."
If teachers are not strict, it is their own fault!
Fu Ning hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation yet, but Qiu Qiu, who had already noticed that Gao Wenyan was acting strangely, immediately put on a mournful face.
He still prefers the easy-going Gao Wenyan from before!
Having regained his memories of his past life, Gao Wenyan was no longer a newcomer to officialdom. Now, dealing with the two little brats was a piece of cake for him.
Chiu Chiu: She never wants to fold paper again in her life.
She patted her chubby little hands, thinking, "Why are they so useless!"
Today, Qiuqiu refused to be picked up from school by Thirteen again and went back to the General's Mansion with Yun Shuyue. She wanted to find her aunt to pick up some small flowers for her.
When they returned to the General's Mansion, Madam Yun found that Qiuqiu looked even more listless than when she left in the morning.
"What's wrong?" she asked softly, touching Qiuqiu's head with her hand. "Are you feeling unwell?"
Chiu Chiu perked up immediately, and with a fawning smile, she bowed to Madam Yun and said sweetly, "Aunt."
Neither of her two sons were married, and the entire general's mansion was without a single child. Although Qiuqiu was of the same generation as her own children, Madam Yun loved her just as much.
She was overjoyed by Qiuqiu's coaxing and had already begun to imagine the happy family scene when her rascal got married and had grandchildren.
Yun Shuyue watched silently, "Mother, keep laughing, but you'll have to cry later."
Madam Yun was slightly taken aback: "What happened?"
Yun Shuyue took out a thick stack of red paper from Qiuqiu's crossbody bag and handed it to her mother: "Qiuqiu brought back your homework. The teacher said that no one else can do it for you. Why don't you do it for me?"
"Hehe~" Chuchu flew two sweet kisses with her little hand, winking at Madam Yun, "My dear aunt~"
Madam Yun withdrew her hand as quickly as Yun Shuyue did, and instead of hugging Qiuqiu, she turned her hand to tidy her own clothes. "Didn't that person give you two flowers yesterday? Learn how to fold them."
She's too old to get involved in young people's affairs.
Yun Shuyue's face darkened whenever this was mentioned. She had been holding back some things all day: "Mother, does the palace intend to betroth Princess Jingning to Gao Wenyan?"
Madam Yun was shocked: "Where did you hear that from?"
Does Yun Shuyue even need to inquire? Princess Jingning chased her all the way to Qingyang Academy today. If Yun Shuyue couldn't figure out what was going on from Princess Jingning's anxious pacing all afternoon, then she'd have wasted her eyes!
According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a princess cannot hold a substantive official post.
It's all because in the previous dynasty, a princess's husband held considerable military power and almost usurped the throne under the princess's name. That's why this dynasty has this law.
Yun Shuyue stole a glance at her mother's unpleasant expression, then avoided Qiuqiu's probing gaze, and hurriedly explained, "I'm not concerned about him, I just think Gao Wenyan is quite talented, it would be a pity if he had no place to use his skills."
Chiu Chiu rolled her eyes inelegantly. That two-faced cousin of mine! They've already brought all the flowers home, and she still won't admit it!
Bad girl!
Madam Yun is quite happy now; the woman she's raised for over ten years is finally showing some of the shyness and charm of a young lady.
She was actually happy to see things go smoothly between her and Gao Wenyan.
Gao Wenyan is no ordinary person; although his background is somewhat humble, with the support of the Yun family, his rise to prominence is only a matter of time. Even if they only remember the kindness of the General's Mansion, they will not mistreat their daughter.
Besides, her daughter has been practicing martial arts since she was little, and her rough-around-the-edges son is a true man, ready to fight on the battlefield. She couldn't bear to part with her daughter! Having a husband in Wencheng is good too; at least he's safe in the capital.
But Princess Jingning is indeed a big problem!
She didn't rush to answer her daughter's question, and made up an excuse to brush it off. Yun Shuyue was thinking about other things and didn't hear it carefully. The mother and daughter tacitly avoided mentioning it again.
However, Madam Yun secretly pondered how to find a suitable opportunity to enter the palace and sound out the situation.
This matter...
I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Chuchu!
Little did Chiu Chiu know she was about to be entrusted with an important task. She had finally managed to trick a maid into helping her fold small flowers, and was now acting cute in front of her.
She suddenly felt a chill on her neck, and when she turned around, she met the gaze of her gentle aunt.
Her aunt smiled at her, and her ominous premonition intensified. Chiu Chiu hugged her chubby self tightly; perhaps she should just go home tomorrow.
She felt that her mother missed her.
Madam Yun naturally wouldn't give her a chance to leave, and said to Qiuqiu in a seductive tone, "Good Qiuqiu, come to your aunt."
When these words reached Chiu Chiu's ears, they sounded like—【Little koi, come inside the big bad wolf's belly!】
Hey, let's talk this out!
