Chu Yuan said, "I've never seen anyone as 'pitiful' as you."
His tone was indifferent yet sarcastic, clearly indicating that he was not taking Shen You'an's bait.
The latter, thick-skinned, continued sitting and eating, saying, "Just because I haven't seen it doesn't mean it's not true."
Auntie, I really suffered a lot today. I know you must feel bad about it. Otherwise, would you like to make it up to You'an?
"To avoid hurting You'an's little heart, so that she won't be able to do certain things in the future."
She was threatening Chu Yuan.
Of course, calling it a threat is a bit of an exaggeration; the real intention is to use this pretext to extract benefits from Chu Yuan...
Chu Yuan's smile deepened as she listened. "Oh? What do you want to make amends for?"
She disguised herself as a man and deceived herself. She fooled me several times at first. How could she be so outrageous and still say that she was wrong?
Are you out of your mind?
“I think the furnishings and decorations in Aunt’s room are quite nice. Why don’t we give a few to You’an?”
Wow, my aunt's bracelet is beautiful too!
"How about we give it to You'an, and then You'an can give it to his wife as a family heirloom?"
As he spoke, his hand was already desperately reaching out towards Chu Yuan.
That was a jade bracelet that Chu Yuan had recently found.
—The key to the Treasure Pavilion.
It was hard for Chu Yuan not to suspect him when she was suddenly stared at so intently by Shen You'an.
But just as Shen Youan's hand was about to touch the bracelet, her attention was immediately drawn to the jade ruyi on the antique shelf. She jumped up and rushed over to hug it to her chest. "This one! This one is so big and clear, it's perfect as a family heirloom!"
Chu Yuan didn't speak, but grinned and gave Xia He a task with her eyes.
A short while later, Xia He returned carrying a box.
It's a fairly large box, and it looks like it can hold a lot.
Shen Youan instinctively thought that it must contain her aunt's sincerity, filled with gold and silver jewelry.
My aunt is so generous, and she's the Crown Princess, so her generosity shouldn't be too stingy, right?
When I picked up the box, it was very, very light...
Shen Youan comforted herself: It's okay, banknotes are very light.
Perhaps my aunt was more practical, knowing that selling those fancy things would be troublesome, and one could easily be mistaken for stealing. Exchanging them for banknotes would avoid such troubles.
Smiling, she revealed a set of white teeth. "Then You'an thanks Auntie! Don't worry, Auntie, You'an doesn't blame you. Besides, there's a high probability that Princess Fushun won't bother you again in the future!"
Everyone knows she's a woman; we can't keep chasing after her.
"Why don't you open it and take a look?" Chu Yuan's voice rang out with a half-smile.
Shen Youan paused, "Now?"
Chu Yuan: "Yes, now."
I guarantee she'll be overjoyed when she sees it!
Looking at Chu Yuan's somewhat eerie expression, Shen Youan's heart skipped a beat for no reason. The next moment, she slowly opened the box.
When she saw the brand-new pink dress inside, she froze.
Chu Yuan parted her red lips slightly, "Ji Yunyou, how is it? This dress is too long for me, but it should fit you well?"
Without any mercy, they ruthlessly exposed her true identity as a woman.
That's not all. Chu Yuan stepped forward, picked up the jade ruyi that she had just taken a liking to, and handed it to her with a smile. "Forget about being married to her. This is for you. Remember to use it as a family heirloom!"
Shen Xiaosi, dumbfounded, "..."
After confirming that Dugu Ran was not the mastermind, Chu Yuan stopped this kind of headless fly-like behavior!
She told Dugu Ling not to let Dugu Jue act recklessly.
If we stir up trouble and alert the enemy, the person behind it will only hide even deeper.
"Let's continue with our fishing plan," Chu Yuan suggested.
Dugu Ling naturally listened to Chu Yuan completely, softly hugging her arm and resting her head on her shoulder, "Yuan'er is smart, I'll listen to Yuan'er, but Dugu Jue..."
"It's okay, I'll convince him. All you need to do is stall him from going anywhere when he's acting recklessly."
That night, after finalizing their strategy, Chu Yuan and Dugu Jue had a long, long, drawn-out battle in bed...
The next day, Physician Hu came to check on her pulse and said tactfully, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, you young people are full of vigor and it is not easy for you to control yourselves. I understand that, but for the sake of your offspring, please... well... bear with it."
Chu Yuan blushed, and even her palms turned red.
However, Dugu Jue remained cold and stern, and asked Physician Hu in return, "So, is the Crown Princess alright or not?"
"this……"
"Speak faster, or I'll draw my sword!"
Physician Hu's face turned pale.
Inner monologue: It seems His Highness did not have a good night last night, which is why he is so irritable today.
Even after all that, the Crown Princess is still not satisfied. Could it be that she secretly took some strong medicine?
At the crucial moment, Physician Hu lost focus.
As a result, his braid was almost cut off!
He covered the back of his head, crying, "No, no, the Crown Princess and the baby are both fine. It's just that if the mother is too tired, I'm afraid the baby will be harmed soon!"
"Get out!" Dugu Jue roared.
But after that, he didn't touch Chu Yuan for a long time.
No matter how Chu Yuan tried to entice her, it was to no avail.
For almost half a year, Dugu Ling treated Chu Yuan with the gentle care of a spring breeze, happily monopolizing her.
Dugu Ling was overjoyed.
Chu Yuan, actually, I still miss her a bit, the more intense... the less traditional... the less rule-breaking, well, those who know, know!
The fishing plan remained unresolved until Chu Yuan was nearing her due date.
"Forget it, I'll think about it after I give birth," she told herself, trying not to panic.
This first pregnancy resulted in a single birth, but it was a son, making him the true eldest grandson of the emperor.
