Chapter 177 Sheng Jingyu said she was afraid of ghosts and dared not sleep alone.



Su Wenyuan put a lot of thought into Hua Ling's clothes. Of all the gaudy fabrics in the manor, only Hua Ling could wear them, and he genuinely liked them.

Yuexiu quickly arranged for people to do things, leaving only Su Wenyuan and Sheng Jingyu in the courtyard.

Su Wenyuan acted as if she hadn't seen him at all, and was about to go back to her room to sleep, but Sheng Jingyu stopped her.

"What's wrong?" Su Wenyuan asked.

With a fawning smile, Sheng Jingyu asked, "Does everyone in the manor have one?"

Su Wenyuan was a little flustered by his question, afraid that she might have forgotten someone.

But upon closer reflection, no one was left out.

"The number will only increase, not decrease; it's impossible for anyone to be left behind."

"Really?" Sheng Jingyu gritted his teeth and uttered a questioning sound.

Su Wenyuan nodded heavily and said, "Yes."

"What about mine? I don't have any clothes, bedding, or that..." Sheng Jingyu pointed to a table in the distance, but he couldn't make out what it was. However, he saw someone else collect it.

Su Wenyuan said irritably, "That's an undergarment made from leftover fabric. You want to wear it?"

Sheng Jingyu replied weakly, "I don't want to, but I don't have any. What do I wear and use?"

"What did you wear last year? I'm not in charge of your clothes. You can't just give the order and expect me to leave you out." Su Wenyuan ignored him and went straight back to her room.

Sheng Jingyu followed her in. He needed to have a serious and earnest discussion with Su Wenyuan about the issue of her treating him differently.

Once inside, I discovered that the room had been completely transformed.

With the screen gone, the bathtub behind it naturally disappeared as well.

The room, which was originally extremely simple, is now filled with shelves and ornaments, and many blackout curtains have been hung. The tables and chairs have also been replaced.

"When did you change these things? How come I didn't know?"

Su Wenyuan lay sprawled on the bed and said, "I changed it while you were away. I thought it would be better for the room to be simple since you can't see it, so I didn't put anything in it. Now that I live here by myself, I can do whatever I want with it."

Sheng Jingyu walked over and lay down beside him without saying a word.

“What a comfortable bed! Have you ever heard of a prince being squeezed into the study?” Sheng Jingyu asked, turning his head.

Su Wenyuan closed her eyes and said, "There aren't many people in the manor. You can choose any empty courtyard you like, but you insisted on living in the study. Is that my fault? Besides, it's not about crowding, it's about being kicked out! You're not welcome."

Sheng Jingyu wasn't that pitiful. When he used to pretend to be blind, he liked to hide in the study, so it was fully equipped.

There is a separate room behind the study, furnished with a table, chairs, a bed, and everything else.

Even the items used inside are the best in the manor, prepared by Ye Shan in the past.

Seeing that Su Wenyuan didn't pity him at all, Sheng Jingyu suddenly sat up, patted her leg and said, "I'm moving back tonight."

Su Wenyuan was truly exhausted; she could barely keep her eyes open and mumbled, "No."

"Can't we discuss this?" Sheng Jingyu's tone was almost pleading.

Su Wenyuan said, "There's no room for discussion. Besides, I asked Meng Qi, and he said you didn't initially plan for me to live here. We were supposed to have separate rooms, but I didn't know that. We've only been living together for so long."

The original residence prepared for Su Wenyuan caught fire, and due to a lack of communication, she moved into Zhuyue Pavilion.

She had always thought that living separately would cause rumors and affect the two of them.

In reality, it doesn't have much of an impact; you can move it anywhere.

Since things are so casual about it, it wouldn't be appropriate for us to continue living together.

Sheng Jingyu now really wants to send Meng Qi out of the mansion and let him fend for himself.

She thought that by not keeping him by her side, he wouldn't upset her, but she didn't expect that he would be just as troublesome as Su Wenyuan.

"Although I did have that thought at first, it was because I wasn't used to it!" Sheng Jingyu's explanation was weak. "Now I sleep alone, and I'm scared..."

Su Wenyuan suddenly opened her eyes and looked at him incredulously.

What's wrong with you?

Seeing Su Wenyuan's strong reaction, Sheng Jingyu felt he had found a solution. He lay down straight, grabbed Su Wenyuan's arm, and said, "You have no idea how much I've slept these past few days!"

"Originally, I was pretending to be blind and there was nothing to be afraid of. But now I have offended many people and have a lot of trouble. I am afraid every day that someone will harm me."

“You’re so smart, I feel at ease when you’re close to me. At least you won’t hurt me. But I don’t trust anyone else but you…”

As he spoke, Su Wenyuan slowly sat up, helped him up as well, and led him outside.

"Where to?" Sheng Jingyu asked, puzzled.

Su Wenyuan laughed and said, "It's okay, you can talk, I'll listen to how scared you are."

Sheng Jingyu continued, "I'm not only afraid of people, but also of ghosts. The Prince Chen's mansion is filled with yin energy, as you should know. So many people have died here, and many of them were executed on my orders, even though they deserved it..."

Sheng Jingyu talked the whole way, and when he looked up again, he found Hua Ling standing opposite him.

Hua Ling received the clothes prepared by Su Wenyuan and was happily trying them on one by one. Just as she put on the one she was wearing, she saw the two of them coming over.

Since she had accepted their gift, Hua Ling quickly came out to greet them.

"What brings you here? What medicine do you need? Or is there something you'd like to see a doctor about?"

Su Wenyuan pushed Sheng Jingyu forward and said, "Look at him, he's out of his mind. He says he's afraid of ghosts. You should take a look at him."

Sheng Jingyu looked at the two of them speechlessly. He thought Su Wenyuan had believed it!

If you had said you wouldn't believe me, I wouldn't have said so much.

Su Wenyuan turned and left to go back to sleep; Sheng Jingyu did not follow her.

There were no clothes, no bedding, no care, and the attempt to move back failed.

Hua Ling even showed off her new clothes to him, making Sheng Jingyu so jealous he wanted to strangle her.

"I suddenly think you're a pretty good princess. You never made any arrangements for me when I lived here before," Hua Ling said, admiring her new clothes.

Sheng Jingyu rolled her eyes and said, "A few clothes and you think you've been won over? Look at you, so easily swayed. Are these clothes even that good? They're ugly! The fabric is bad too, and they don't look good on you!"

"Do you have it?" Hua Ling asked in the most sincere tone, but with the most hurtful words.

Sheng Jingyu didn't answer, and sulked to the side.

Hua Ling laughed and said, "It looks like there's nothing there. If there were, the reaction wouldn't be like this. Oh dear, let me prescribe some medicine to cool you down. You must have been feeling hot these past few days."

He's right, Sheng Jingyu not only gets angry easily, but he also has a bad temper.

In less than two days, arrangements were made for the people to escort Princess Heyi back.

The Emperor originally intended to choose two, but Sheng Jingyu selected four, along with several accompanying generals to protect their safety.

All of these people are Sheng Yuanhe's men.

They didn't want to go either, but if they objected, Sheng Jingyu would endlessly berate them.

They said they had been of no use to Ankawa for all these years, and this was an opportunity for them to demonstrate their abilities.
