Shen Shurong lifted the quilt and wrapped it around his body, leaving only his small head exposed, “Hide them all.”
Xie Yunzhao smiled and hugged her and the quilt into his arms, put his head on her shoulder, and hugged her quietly.
On the way out of the Third Prince's Mansion, he thought a lot. Rongrong's feelings for Xie Yunzheng might not be love between a man and a woman.
Knowing that she had sent someone to kill Xie Yunzheng, she didn't even blink.
Maybe, she had only regarded him as her fiancé, maybe, he should re-evaluate Xie Yunzheng's position in her heart.
"We are already married, why should we be shy? Let me see..."
......
In the evening, the Duke's Mansion held a family dinner. Except for Xie Yunzheng, all the relatives came. The Duke's wife took Shen Shurong to meet them.
After a day's rest, I feel refreshed now.
Seeing the third aunt leading Li Shuang over, Shen Shurong sneered in his heart. Maybe the third aunt knew what Li Shuang was thinking, otherwise why would she let her daughter come here alone in advance?
But she might not be doing it for her daughter's sake, but rather for the power of the Duke's Mansion.
"Princess, this is your third aunt, Shuangshuang's mother." The Duchess introduced with a smile.
Shen Shurong greeted generously: "Third aunt, how are you."
“I dare not, it is my aunt who should meet the princess first.” The third aunt smiled and patted Shen Shurong’s hand: “I heard from Shuang’er that she went to see the princess today and didn’t even enter the yard. She must have disturbed the princess. My aunt apologizes for her.”
Li Shuang frowned and pulled her, "Why did mother bring this up? Does it make her look proud?"
Chen Shurong smiled: "It's okay, she didn't bother me, but my husband was not very happy. Cousin, you can go when your husband is not here next time."
Third Aunt’s expression froze. Couldn’t she hear that this was a question?
Li Shuang blushed and pulled her sleeve: "Mom, I feel a little uncomfortable. Let's go sit over there for a while."
The third aunt forced a smile and walked away with her daughter.
Shen Shurong glanced at the Duke's wife, wondering if she would blame her.
The Duke's wife patted her hands and said, "Don't worry, mother is here. She didn't let anyone disturb the young couple. What is Li Shuang going to do?"
The two concubines of Duke Lu brought their daughters to pay their respects to Shen Shurong. Xie Ying was sixteen years old and Xie Jin was fourteen.
As illegitimate daughters, they seldom stayed near her on weekdays. But after they got married in their previous life, they often went to visit her and paid their respects. She also found good marriages for them, and their dowries were comparable to those of other legitimate daughters.
Now, after the two of them had greeted each other, they hid aside. They must have known that she was not the Crown Prince's wife and did not manage the Duke's Mansion's finances, so there was no need to curry favor with her.
Shen Shurong curled his lips slightly, enjoying the leisure time.
After Xie Yunzhao and his father met the guests, they ran over to find Shen Shurong.
The Duke's wife was angry and helpless. Her wife was a princess, how could she be eaten by someone?
Besides, you have your mother-in-law to protect you, so I’ll give it to you.
Xie Yunzhao took Shen Shurong's hand and walked aside, "If my lady is impatient, please send someone to call me and I will take you back to Linfengju."
"Are you annoyed?"
"Well, it's better not to stay in the room with you."
Shen Shurong covered his mouth and looked around: "Be quiet outside."
Xie Yunzhao held her hand, led her behind the pillar, found an angle where others couldn't see, and kissed her on the face, "If anyone dares to bully you, you can bully them back. Your husband will support you."
"Who dares to bully me? Besides, mom is here, don't worry."
Xie Yunzhao liked the way she looked powerful and could never get enough of looking at her.
After two more kisses, he was willing to let her go.
Chen Shurong watched him leave, turned around and saw Li Shuang's extremely lonely eyes, so he called Mother Tian and asked her to look after Li Shuang.
Mother Tian was slightly surprised that he actually dared to set his sights on her son-in-law. She thought he must be tired of living, so she nodded in agreement.
When Li Shuang saw Chen Shurong coming over, she immediately smiled: "Princess."
"Why doesn't my cousin go in?"
"Li Shuang is feeling a bit stuffy, so she came out to get some fresh air."
"Well, your second cousin is a bit clingy, and he made fun of you."
Li Shuang smiled stiffly: "How could that be? The princess and second cousin have a good relationship, which is a good thing."
“Thank you for your blessing, cousin.” Shen Shurong nodded slightly and walked in.
Li Shuang closed her eyes, told her mother that she was not feeling well, and returned to the yard.
The maidservant saw that she was sad but had no choice but to stay by her side.
"How about being a concubine?"
The maid was stunned. The master was a fifth-rank official, so how could he allow his legitimate daughter to be his concubine?
"I don't want him to stay with me alone, as long as I can stay in the Duke's Mansion..."
"Miss, the master and his wife will not agree!"
"What should I do if you don't agree? It hurts here." Li Shuang cried, tapping her heart with her hand.
"But, but the Second Young Master cannot take a concubine. There is an imperial decree."
"I'm his cousin. He will ask the princess to let me go."
The maidservant did not dare to persuade her anymore. The young lady was not feeling well and she was crying so hard that she might be sick again.
After the family dinner was over, Chen Shurong went back to take a bath and asked someone to make a sobering soup for Xie Yunzhao.
The groom was forced to drink alcohol.
By the time he finished washing up, half an hour had passed. He lay drunkenly on the bed, forcing himself to stare at Shen Shurong.
His eyes were blurred and distracted, Shen Shurong wanted to laugh, he was really drunk.
"Rongrong, Rongrong."
"I'm here."
"Rongrong, my Rongrong." Xie Yunzhao moved closer and pressed his forehead against hers.
“So heavy.”
"It will sink if you put all your money on it."
"Tell me, are you my Rongrong?"
"Who do you belong to first?"
Xie Yunzhao smiled, she was not at a disadvantage, "I am yours, and I will be yours for the rest of my life."
"We are even now. You are mine and I am yours."
Rongrong said it herself that it was his. Xie Yunzhao was extremely happy and pecked her lips gently, "Does it smell like alcohol? I didn't drink much in the wedding night yesterday, but they didn't let me go today."
"We will only get married once in our lives, and everyone is happy and blessing us. I don't mind."
Xie Yunzhao originally thought that he had lost the whole world, but now he finally found it back. He has never been so satisfied in his life.
I hugged her tightly, nestled in the crook of her neck, feeling her by my side, and wishing she would never leave me again.
…
The next morning, Xie Yunzhao woke up and hit himself on the head in frustration. How could he have fallen asleep?
"Stop fighting, get up, we're going home today." Shen Shurong came over to pull him, but was pulled into the bed instead.
"I didn't do anything yesterday." The man felt very aggrieved.
"Not originally. I was feeling unwell last night."
"Then we should come back early?"
"When I go back to my mother's house, I always have to spend time with my grandmother."
How come pinching his nose makes him feel more aggrieved? "How's the evening?"
Xie Yunzhao suppressed his joy and did not answer.
"There's still tomorrow night, okay?"
The man finally smiled and hugged Shen Shurong's waist, "Listen to my wife."
Is this what you call listening to her?
Forget it, it’s her fault for wanting to spoil him and not wanting to see him sad.
"Grandma is used to being so majestic, and Grandpa has always disliked you. Don't take it personally. I will stand by you."
"It's okay. It's not my first time going there." He was the one who married their baby, so he should perform the ceremony with great ceremony.
Besides, he was the one who accompanied Rongrong back home, so others would have no chance to be disliked.
