Chapter 77 It's really a shame that men and women shouldn't touch each other.
My period is here!
This is her second period.
Compared to her excitement the first time, Yun Si was much calmer this time.
However, the thought of what the next few days will bring for some people...
Yun Si couldn't help but laugh.
After tidying up, the day ended without her having done anything. When Lanxin saw her finally get up, she approached with a mischievous grin and said, "Master."
Yun Si glanced at her: "What is it?"
Despite her laughter, Lansing didn't forget to report the important matter: "Everything is normal at the Rose Courtyard, but Lianxin is quite loyal to her. Should we think of a way to replace her?"
Lu Yu brought over the food that had been prepared in advance. Yun Si ate while saying, "No rush. Just have A Wu keep an eye on her during this time. Once the medicine has fully taken effect, we'll find an excuse to replace Lian Xin."
"Oh, that works too."
"Keep an eye out for suitable candidates. If there aren't any in the manor, go to the slave market and pick out a clever and quick-witted one."
After dinner, Yun Si practiced boxing in the courtyard to relieve the soreness in her body.
A figure lingered at the gate of the courtyard.
Yun Si didn't need to look to know who else could be so sneaky yet move freely in the Prince's mansion but An Ye.
I treated Awu to dinner last time, but I haven't seen him since. Later, Awu told me that someone else seemed to have paid for the meal.
Yun Si has been too busy lately and forgot to ask what happened.
Given Ah Wu's appetite, that meal must have cost a considerable sum. Who could be so generous?
"Come out."
Just then, An Ye arrived, and Yun Si decided to ask him some questions.
What if she's run into someone with ulterior motives? Ah Wu is so innocent; we have to be careful.
A figure slowly emerged from outside the courtyard gate in the darkness.
"Your Highness... Your subordinate greets Your Highness."
"Ah Wu told me that last time you ate out, someone else paid the bill for you. Who was that person?"
Dark Night looked sullen when the matter was brought up.
"Yes... Your Highness Prince Yu."
"Prince Yu?"
Yun Si was somewhat surprised.
When did Prince Yu meet her Ah Wu?
"I'm not entirely sure what happened. That day, I overheard Ah Wu and Prince Yu talking at the door of the private room. When I went to settle the bill, the manager said that someone had already paid."
"Then how can you be sure it's Prince Yu?"
"My subordinates have verified this."
An Ye recalled the news he heard later, and a gloating smile flashed in his eyes.
Prince Yu is actually very stingy.
Despite his maternal grandfather being the Minister of Revenue, who held the power of national finance, he was exposed to business from a young age and developed a talent for it. At a young age, he expanded his business to all parts of the country.
However, the Qin Dynasty had a rule that members of the royal family were not allowed to engage in business. So, while Prince Yu appeared to be a carefree prince who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun and had no interest in court struggles, he was actually secretly engaged in business.
It's no exaggeration to say that his current net worth is already comparable to that of a country.
But he's a strange person; the more money he has, the stingier he becomes.
Everyone around him knows this.
That day, he probably thought that Ah Wu was just a young girl and couldn't possibly eat much, so he generously told the waiter that he would pay for the meal.
Later, it was learned that the meal cost nearly fifty taels of silver, and Prince Yu was filled with regret.
The crucial point is that he didn't even know who A-Wu was or where she lived, yet the money was still spent. It's said that he was so upset about this that he didn't leave the house for several days.
Should.
He secretly enjoyed himself in the dark.
They used the money they saved to buy Ah Wu a large gold bracelet.
That's why I was thinking of asking the princess to pass it on.
His face flushed slightly as he took out an exquisite jewelry box from behind him and handed it to Yun Si: "Your Highness, please give this to A Wu for me. I will be extremely grateful."
Yun Si raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly.
She took it, opened it, and took a look.
So earthy, so ugly, so heavy.
So dazzling.
That's really practical.
Yun Si glanced at it and handed it back to him: "Didn't I tell you last time? Gifts aren't given by passing them on; you should give them to her yourself."
"I……"
An Ye said anxiously, "I'm worried she won't like it, but if the princess gives it to her, she certainly won't refuse."
"Was that given in my name?"
"..."
"So, if you don't even have the courage to give it yourself, why bother giving a gift?"
After Yun Si refused, she ignored him and even closed the courtyard gate.
Knowing that A-Wu wouldn't refuse her, she still asked her to deliver the gift. Wouldn't that be a way of forcibly going against A-Wu's wishes?
The sincerity is there, but the idea is terribly wrong.
Awu has the right to refuse.
Night falls.
Qin Ye returned before dinner. Sure enough, Yun Si hadn't done anything today. After several days, the two finally sat down together for a simple dinner.
Because Qin Ye was busy, they didn't even exchange more than a few words before he left the palace after finishing his meal.
He has just taken over the Ministry of War, and it is the busiest time of his life.
In addition to handling a large amount of military affairs every day, he also had to reorganize the official system of the Ministry of War and investigate the military equipment accounts from previous years.
And, dealing with the probing of various forces in the imperial court.
The Minister of War outwardly cooperated, but in reality, he was insincere and disobedient in various ways.
The ledgers handed over were either missing pages or had illegible handwriting; when asked about crucial details, they claimed it was too long ago and they couldn't remember.
He also secretly indulged his subordinates, deliberately delaying military affairs and making things difficult for Qin Ye at every turn.
Those old foxes in the Ministry of War are not willing to easily hand over real power.
They did this simply to discourage Qin Ye and make him realize that the Ministry of War was no ordinary place, and that a prince raised in the countryside like him couldn't possibly overcome this formidable obstacle.
Yun Si watched his departing figure, a faint, almost imperceptible sorrow flashing across her eyes.
Although the Shen family has fallen, the road ahead still seems far from smooth sailing.
The next day.
After Yun Si woke up, Qin Ye went out again.
She didn't even know when he came back last night. As soon as he returned, he pulled her into his arms, and she vaguely heard him say, "I'll spend more time with her after I'm done with this busy period."
Isn't this spending every single day with him?
Yun Si shook her head and chuckled.
I never imagined Qin Ye would be so clingy.
When gentle, they're like a dog; when fierce, they're like a wolf.
At noon, the sun was blazing.
Lu Yu came in from outside and said that Prince Yu had arrived and wanted to see Yun Si, his sister-in-law.
Prince Yu?
Do you want to see her?
I'm afraid she knew A-Wu was with her and came specifically to find A-Wu.
Yun Si had barely rested when she had to get up again to see what was going on.
On the other side.
Lin Shuyan drank the calming soup given to her by Yun Si. Although she slept very soundly at night these past two days, she felt full of energy every time she woke up, and her body felt no discomfort whatsoever.
All my previous doubts have completely vanished.
Since that was the case, in order to show her sincerity, she took the initiative to bring the evidence of Dillon's treason and went to Qin Ye's study, lifting her skirt as she went.
It turned out that Qin Ye was not there.
She waited for a while before reluctantly heading towards Yun Si's Qiwu Garden.
After all, Yun Si had promised to let Qin Ye take her as a concubine, so for now, he could only bow his head and wait until he had a firm foothold before slowly figuring out how to get rid of Yun Si.
Lin Shuyan had just turned the corner of the corridor when she bumped into a figure.
It's Awu.
Ah Wu had just come out of the kitchen, still holding a radish in her hand and munching on it.
The moment Lin Shuyan saw Ah Wu, her heart skipped a beat.
An inexplicable chill crept up my spine.
This little girl looked clean and well-behaved, with eyes as pure as water, but for some reason, she always felt a little scared.
She frowned, suppressing the strange feeling, and was about to walk around it when the small brocade pouch tied to her wrist suddenly moved violently, and the creature inside was struggling wildly.
What happened?
This Gu worm was given to her by that monster before. She's been raising it for the past few months, and it's been very quiet every day. What's wrong with it today?
Lin Shuyan panicked and frantically tried to hold the brocade pouch. She accidentally stepped into the stone steps and lost her balance, falling forward.
Qin Yan led his guards into the Xiao Prince's residence, still thinking about how to subtly ask his fourth sister-in-law to let him know he wanted to see Yun Wu.
He had sharp eyes, and not far after entering the palace, he spotted a familiar figure standing under the front corridor.
It was the very culprit that had been on his mind for several days.
Originally, he just thought Ah Wu was cute and adorable, and wanted to make friends with her, but it was far from enough to make him go to great lengths to find her.
However, the fact that he spent nearly fifty taels of silver in one meal made a difference.
He had to find out who this Yunwu really was.
We can't let his money disappear without a trace.
As the saying goes, heaven rewards those who persevere. He finally discovered that Yunwu was the adopted sister-in-law of the Fourth Prince and had been living in the residence of the Fourth Prince.
Upon receiving the news, he couldn't wait a moment longer and rushed over immediately.
Upon seeing A-Wu, Qin Yan's face lit up with joy, and he quickly quickened his pace to walk over.
Before he could even reach his destination, a slender figure lunged at him, perfectly positioned.
Qin Yan's first reaction was to step back and dodge, rather than to catch her with tenderness.
After Lin Shuyan fell, he said somewhat embarrassedly, "Men and women... should not touch each other, I'm really sorry."
Lin Shuyan: "..."
The knot in the brocade pouch came loose, and the lid was flung open.
A green insect, about the size of a fingernail, fell out and quickly crawled up Qin Yan's trouser leg.
"ah!"
Lin Shuyan turned pale with fright upon seeing this scene, wanting to grab it but not daring to.
Qin Yan suddenly felt a slight itch on his leg, as if something had crawled inside.
He froze, looked down and patted himself down for a long time, but found nothing.
No one noticed that a very faint green light flashed in his eyes, so fast it was like an illusion.
Ah Wu was engrossed in eating a radish and seemed completely uninterested in what was happening before her eyes.
But after the Gu worm burrowed into Qin Yan's body, she suddenly turned her head and slowly looked at Qin Yan.
She couldn't explain why, but a very strange feeling suddenly welled up inside her, as if an invisible thread was being pulled.
She unconsciously took a step and walked towards Qin Yan.
Qin Yan seemed to be drawn to something, his gaze fixed on A Wu, all other expressions fading from his face, leaving only a bewildered look of inquiry.
"A-Wu?"
Yun Si had just reached the entrance of the corridor when she witnessed this bizarre scene.
A-Wu and Qin Yan stared at each other, one with a strange look in her eyes and the other with a blank stare. Lin Shuyan, pale-faced, sat slumped beside them.
"What happened?"
