"You can say it in your heart, I don't want to hear it. As for next time, just wait and see!" Su Wenyuan was grinding her teeth to powder.
Sheng Jingyu nodded repeatedly, signaling her to let go.
After Su Wenyuan sat back down, Sheng Jingyu didn't make a sound, but he kept repeating the words he had said last night, as if he wanted to continue the promise he had just made.
The clearly teasing look in her eyes thrilled Su Wenyuan.
She pounced on Sheng Jingyu again, covered his mouth, and said, "You did this on purpose!"
Sheng Jingyu took the opportunity to hug her and bring her back to bed.
"I won't tease you anymore. You're tired. Take a nap." Sheng Jingyu held him in his arms, and he fell asleep soon after.
Su Wenyuan then went back to sleep, until the middle of the night when the two of them woke up...
At this time, the two were on the same bed again. Su Wenyuan felt very dangerous and sat up abruptly, looking at Sheng Jingyu with a wary expression.
Sheng Jingyu said helplessly, "No need to be on guard, I'm not that shameless."
Su Wenyuan pursed her lips, not quite believing it.
However, Sheng Jingyu really didn't plan to do anything tonight. He got up and asked, "Are you hungry? I'll go and ask someone to get you something to eat."
Su Wenyuan said embarrassedly, "Don't call anyone. I've slept for almost a whole day. It would be too embarrassing to call someone to cook in the middle of the night."
Sheng Jingyu thought that even if they didn't wake them up, they would still be able to guess what had happened.
But if she said that out loud, Su Wenyuan would get angry again.
"Then I'll go to the kitchen and see what we can eat?" Sheng Jingyu planned to sneak over there.
Su Wenyuan said, "I'll go instead, it's inconvenient for you to go."
Although we are at Prince Chen's residence and everyone is asleep at this time, it's always better to be cautious.
Let's go together.
Since the weather turned cooler, Su Wenyuan stopped arranging for servants and maids from Zhuyue Pavilion to keep watch at night. The two of them didn't cause any trouble at night, so there was no need to keep anyone around.
From Zhuyue Pavilion to the kitchen, I didn't see a single person on the way.
The two men searched their own residence like thieves, focusing on the kitchen for a long time, but found nothing.
"You don't even have leftover steamed buns, can you cook?" Su Wenyuan asked sincerely.
Sheng Jingyu thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be too difficult."
"That means no." Su Wenyuan sighed, thinking to herself that she really couldn't count on him.
Sheng Jingyu eagerly replied, "I can give it a try."
Su Wenyuan refused without hesitation, adding, "Don't even try. Eating is a small matter, but if you set the kitchen on fire, it'll be quite a scene late at night."
"How about we go outside?" Sheng Jingyu suggested.
Su Wenyuan clapped her hands and said, "Let's go!"
Hoping to experience the nightlife, she and Sheng Jingyu secretly slipped out of the Prince Chen's mansion. Once outside, they discovered that there was no nightlife, and all the shops were already closed.
If we wait a little longer, perhaps we can wait until the wonton and fried dough stick vendors open in the morning.
"You're a prince, how can you not get any food at night? What kind of prince are you?" Su Wenyuan was so hungry that her stomach was sticking to her back.
Sheng Jingyu chuckled and said, "It was something that could have been resolved with just a word, but you wouldn't let them wake up. Were you afraid they'd overthink it, or did you just not want to bother them?"
Su Wenyuan looked ahead and answered sincerely, "I want to see how beautiful the capital city is at night."
At this moment, it was pitch black directly in front of her, and she couldn't see anything.
Sheng Jingyu joked, "Come on, you're just afraid they'll overthink it. But we're already married, so this is... quite normal."
Su Wenyuan rolled her eyes and said, "You can't be shameless even after you're married. I had a good plan: first, go to the Su residence and have a fight with Su Yuan, then go to the Marquis of Anle's residence to check things out, and finally wait for Su Yuan to cause me trouble."
I went to sleep without doing anything I planned, and when I woke up I couldn't find anything to eat.
"Hey! Let's go to the Su residence. There are people from the Prince Chen's residence there. They can cook, and there are bound to be some who haven't slept yet! The important thing is, they won't know why we're out in the middle of the night."
The Su residence that Sheng Jingyu mentioned is the one from before.
"Okay, I'll go right now. I'll change the name while I'm at it. Why are you dragging your feet on something so simple?" Su Wenyuan complained.
Sheng Jingyu said, "I need to think it over carefully so as not to let you down."
"That sounds nice, but you haven't forgotten, have you?"
"I haven't forgotten."
...
The two chatted and laughed all the way, enjoying themselves. When they arrived at the Su residence, the family was already preparing a meal.
Judging from their manner, it wasn't made for themselves; it was clearly prepared specifically for them.
Sheng Jingyu was not surprised at all, and looked at Su Wenyuan with a half-smile.
Su Wenyuan asked in surprise, "When was this prepared?"
“When we came out, someone was following us. They told us we were coming here, and then someone came to inform us,” Sheng Jingyu explained.
He said no one would know why they came out; it was a lie to deceive Su Wenyuan.
Su Wenyuan realized that from the Prince Chen's residence to the Su residence, she had been burying her head in the sand.
Do whatever you want, it's legal anyway, so what's wrong with messing around all night?
Su Wenyuan stopped being coy and hesitant, and began to eat and drink freely.
Even while eating, Sheng Jingyu didn't forget to ask about serious matters. The guards living here were mainly there to prevent anyone from causing trouble or the Su family from stealing things.
But with so many people here, it's a bit of a waste of their potential. So let them live here as a deterrent, and they can just go about their own business normally.
They had just received some secret letters tonight, and before they could deliver them to Prince Chen's residence, Sheng Jingyu arrived. They took some of them from the backyard and handed them to Sheng Jingyu.
Su Wenyuan reminded them, "This place isn't as safe as the Prince Chen's residence. You need to be careful with these things; otherwise, they might get stolen."
He carried all the letters that were not delivered to Prince Chen's residence with him at all times.
Once delivered to Prince Chen's residence, it was placed directly in the study, where no one went, and there were guards around it.
The guard chuckled, “There is a safe place here. In the Banyan Bamboo Courtyard, there is an unused room with a cabinet that has a hidden compartment. The letters are kept there.”
Banyan and Bamboo Courtyard? The place where Yu Qingzhu lived before her death? A mezzanine? Could it be the same kind of cabinet as the one in the Marquis of Anle's mansion?
It's very possible. If Yu Qingzhu also wants to make some hidden cabinets to store things, taking them from the Marquis of Anle's residence would be the most convenient option.
Even if it's redone, it will definitely be done by the same person in the same style, so it shouldn't bother anyone else!
After all, that person's craftsmanship was exceptionally good. If Yu Qingzhu needed something made by him, Marquis Anle would certainly not be stingy and would not choose anything slightly inferior.
The Yu family is not short of money, and as the only daughter of the Marquis of Anle, she uses only the best.
Su Wenyuan suddenly stood up and said, "Take me to see."
The guard was taken aback, then replied, "We've opened all the hidden compartments in the cabinet and checked them; there's nothing inside."
This place is different from the Marquis of Anle's mansion. The Marquis of Anle's mansion is dilapidated and there is almost nothing intact here, but this place has just changed people, and all the good things are still here.
