Chapter 79 I only have my cousin in my heart
Xuanji Courtyard, west wing.
Yingying was helping her master, who had been running around for a long time, wash his hair. They asked Aunt Zhang, the manager of Xuanji Courtyard, for fresh rose petals and the best milk. They heard that a good thing called "soap" was popular among the noble ladies in Moyun City recently, so they naturally did not miss it.
The woman in the tub had delicate skin that had been carefully nurtured. Yingying scooped water to wash herself while sighing, "The girl is truly as beautiful as ice and jade, and looks like a goddess."
"You are the only one who can talk." Yan Shuyun said with a smile, then she became sad and said, "It's a pity that I came a little late. The general has already married a wife... Humph, a daughter of a traitor."
"How can Xiahou Wangshu compare to you who has a clean background? Now that you are here, the mistress of Xuanji Courtyard must be replaced." Yingying said.
This was the first time for both the master and the servant to come to the Duke of Rong's Mansion. They had heard before that the General Zhenbei was all-powerful in the northern border, and that the already-deceased Yan family could not compare to him. Now, they saw that the decoration of the guest rooms alone was so expensive that it was jaw-dropping - it was not inferior to the aristocratic families they had seen in the capital, and it was even better.
Previously, when I attended various banquets hosted by the ladies and nobles, they often spoke disparagingly of the Duke's Mansion far away in Moyun City, saying that they were country people who were not worthy of being on the stage, and who refused to return to the prosperous Shengjing and insisted on staying in the remote border area.
Therefore, before coming here, Yan Shuyun thought that Mo Yun City was really a desolate countryside with yellow sand all over the sky. However, after entering the city, she became more and more frightened. Who spread the rumor? This Mo Yun City clearly did not match its name at all. There were trees planted inside and outside the city to block the wind and sand and improve the climate. It was no longer as desolate as the rumors said.
This is a great place... No wonder the general who guards the country is reluctant to return to Beijing.
Rather than going to that tiny place like Shengjing and engaging in intrigue with a bunch of old guys with ulterior motives, it is indeed better to be my own local emperor comfortably here.
Who said that the general who guards the country is a reckless man who only knows how to fight and has no brains? He is obviously very smart.
Yan Shuyun patted her chest and thanked: "Fortunately, I listened to my mother's advice before she died and came here to live with my cousin."
She felt that her good days were finally coming. She no longer had to run around and scrimp and save to make ends meet.
"The Duke's Mansion is obviously so rich, but Xiahou Wangshu still said that he couldn't find the Tianshan Snow Lotus. I think she is obviously not happy to see you." Yingying was still worried about what happened that night: "She must have felt a sense of crisis about your arrival. This is to intimidate us."
"She even pretended to help you with your illness. How can she, a woman in seclusion, see anything?" While washing her long hair, Yingying sneered, "Young lady is still too kind. If we speak to her so gently, she will think we are easy to bully."
Yan Shuyun sighed softly: "Okay Yingying, now we are living under someone else's roof, so naturally we have to rely on others for our living... It will never be the same as before."
Yingying said angrily, "But you and Master Cheng were on good terms before...! Why did you have to come all the way here to seek refuge with this cousin who has almost forgotten you?"
The three words "Mr. Cheng" successfully changed Yan Shuyun's expression: "Don't mention this person in the Rongguo Mansion in the future. I have nothing to do with him anymore."
She came to seek refuge with Chen Ting. If she hadn't hooked up with him yet, and let him know that she had another complicated love history, it would be disadvantageous to her in the end.
Yingying sighed and whispered, "It was the Cheng family who looked down on us and refused to accept you... When we return to Beijing, we must teach those who laughed at us a lesson."
"Don't say that. I only have my cousin in my heart now. There is no longer that person who makes me frustrated."
The water had cooled. Yan Shuyun stood up from the tub and looked at herself in the mirror. Her skin and face were not bad, and she was quite satisfied in her heart - this was her invincible weapon. A rough and hard man like her cousin usually couldn't resist a gentle and affectionate woman like her.
There is still a long way to go, and one day she will be able to make even the great general who defends the country fall at her feet.

A night passed and the sky brightened.
In the main house, Shen Wangshu had gotten used to not seeing Chen Ting after waking up. The center of his legs still felt a burning pain from excessive friction. His clothes were not so much in disarray as they had been almost completely stripped off. His underwear was even crumpled into a ball, and no one knew where it had been thrown.
Under the bed curtains, the beauty kicked her two slender, straight legs at the air several times in anger, and then she angrily called for someone to come in: "Taohong!"
The maid with two buns on her head said with a smile, "Madam, are you awake?"
Taohong readily helped the lady get a new set of underwear and asked, "I didn't hear the general calling for water last night. Will the lady take a bath later?"
Shen Wangshu said with a straight face: “We didn’t do anything last night.”
"But it's hot and humid on summer nights... I just thought that it would be more refreshing to take a bath after sweating." Tao Hong said innocently: "If Madam is not hot, you don't have to take a bath."
"... Taohong, you've become bad." Shen Wangshu looked at her dimly: "It must be because you hang out with Meixue all day that she has led you astray."
"It's unfair, Madam. I didn't do anything," Mei Xue came in from outside and said, "But there is no time to bathe now. Miss Yan in the west wing is waiting for you outside."
"Wait for me?" Shen Wangshu put on his pants slowly: "Why does she want me?"
Yan Shuyun is Chen Ting's distant cousin, not his aunt. Why did he come to see her so early in the morning? To pay his respects?
Mei Xue shook her head: "I've been here for a while, and I'm drinking tea outside now."
Okay, after all, he is a guest, and it is not good to keep him waiting too long.
Shen Wangshu quickly took care of himself. When he left, Yan Shuyun had already drunk a bellyful of tea. She almost lost her elegance: "General, you left for work before dawn. I really envy your sleep quality. Unlike me, I always fall asleep early."
Shen Wangshu ignored the sarcasm in this person’s words and yawned with his hand covering his lips: “If it weren’t for the general, I could go to bed early and get up early like you.”
The lazy and naive look of the beautiful woman with a rosy face made Yan Shuyun secretly clench her fists, wondering if she was showing off to her. Is he showing off the joy they had in their bedroom last night, and mocking himself for still being alone in an empty room at such an old age? !
The smile on Yan Shuyun's lips became more and more stiff, almost gritting her teeth: "The relationship between my sister and the general... is really enviable."
"I haven't had breakfast yet, Miss Yan, do you want to join me?" Shen Wangshu invited politely. Anyone could tell that it was an order to leave, but Miss Yan refused. She responded gently, "I came here at dawn, wanting to have breakfast with my sister General, but..."
"Since my sister has invited me, I will respectfully obey your order."
......
What's wrong with this person? Why does he have to squeeze in among them?
