78. Chapter 78 Cuiyu's False Alarm

Cuiyu, have you thought about your future?

Shen Yunyao turned her head toward the outer room; although all she saw was pitch black, she still instinctively looked that way.

What's the point of thinking about that?

Cuiyu's answer left Shen Yunyao speechless.

Well, this girl may have many tricks, but in some aspects she's like a single-celled organism.

I just need to follow the miss; overthinking is useless!

Cuiyu's following words made Shen Yunyao suddenly feel a weight on her shoulders.

Miss, are you worried about the future?

Alright, this girl finally has her brains opened.

Miss, I think you don't need to worry.

The son-in-law gets along well with the Princess Huanxi, and the Princess Huanxi is quite nice. Isn't it said that like attracts like?

Anyone who can get along with Princess Huanxi will surely get along happily with you!

You're saying 'birds of a feather flock together'!

Shen Yunyao never expected to be lectured by Cuiyu.

At first hearing Cuiyu's theory, it seemed quite reasonable.

But in fact, it's not like that at all.

Some people can be friends, but cannot be spouses.

The way spouses get along is completely different from how friends get along.

Although Shen Yunyao has never been married and has no experience as a spouse, she has many such friends around her.

Although they got along harmoniously as friends, once they became spouses they quarreled every three days with minor fights and every two days with major fights, turning their days into a battlefield; in the end they could only part ways, unable to remain friends.

This matter really requires some thought.

Miss, ……

Go to sleep, I'm not saying more!

Shen Yunyao unilaterally ended the conversation.

Two clueless novices discussing marriage here are like chickens pecking at each other, and both feel insulted.

……

The next day, early morning.

Cuiyu still came early as usual; last night's topic didn't affect her, in this regard she can be called a carefree exemplar.

But Shen Yunyao had insomnia half the night, so she couldn't get up in the morning.

When Princess Huanxi came over, Shen Yunyao was still asleep.

Is Qi Jiejie feeling unwell?

Do you need me to summon the imperial physician?

Your Highness, our miss just had insomnia last night!

Cuiyu hurriedly spoke up to explain.

Really?

Of course, I wouldn't dare lie!

Cuiyu's answer was very sincere.

Princess Huanxi beckoned Cuiyu with a finger, their heads together as they whispered.

It's actually because of this!

If it were me, I might also lose sleep!

Upon learning why Shen Yunyao was insomnia, Princess Huanxi suddenly felt that if she were in Shen Yunyao's position, she would also find it hard to sleep soundly.

After all, marrying is a woman's second rebirth.

Your Highness, you're surely familiar with our son-in-law; what do you think he's like?

After chatting with Princess Huanxi just now, Cuiyu has already learned to be informal.

That guy is quite annoying!

Princess Huanxi thought for a moment and gave an answer that left Cuiyu dumbfounded.

Quite annoying!

That's not a good adjective.

Well, I, will our son-in-law... will he hit people?

He will!

Princess Huanxi said without thinking, 'I tell you, among the young masters in the capital, hardly any haven't been beaten by your son-in-law!'

What?!

In Cuiyu's mind, a fearsome villain's image began to form.

Good heavens, our miss is like a fairy; must she marry such a man?

Is Heaven blind?

But I haven't heard that your son-in-law beats women!

After giving Cuiyu a nightmare with one remark, Princess Huanxi then gave her timely relief.

Thank goodness, thank goodness!

Upon hearing that Xie Zian hasn't beaten women, Cuiyu breathed a sigh of relief: 'Our miss is so beautiful and gentle; if she were also beaten, that would be utterly unjust!'

Smack!

The Happy Princess raised her hand and tapped Cuiyu's head once, saying, "Cuiyu, what are you muttering about?"

Er, nothing, nothing…… hehe……

Cuiyu didn't dare to say what she had just been thinking.

Although the Happy Princess and my miss have sworn sisterhood, there are some things she can freely say to my miss but cannot say casually to others.

If the Happy Princess lets slip and leaks it out, then she might get my miss into trouble.

Since Qi Jiejie hasn't woken up yet, I'm leaving first!

Another day I'll come back to play with her!

By the way, remember to tell Qi Jiejie that she actually doesn't need to worry so much; if in the future Xie Zian treats her badly, I'll help her!

I'm off!

The Happy Princess waved her hand and, with unusual nonchalance, led her entourage away from Qinyuan Ju.

……

Not long after the Happy Princess left—less than a quarter of an hour—Shen Yunyao finally woke up with a yawn.

Cuiyu, what time is it?

Reply, Miss, it's already the end of the Si hour!

Upon hearing Miss Shen's greeting, Cuiyu hurriedly pushed the door open and announced the time.

The end of the Si hour!

It's really that late!

Eleven o'clock!

I really got up awfully late today.

Miss, the Happy Princess Highness came earlier, saw you were still sleeping, and left first, saying she'd come another day to play with you!

Oh, okay!

Shen Yunyao didn't blame Cuiyu for not waking her.

As for not having met the Happy Princess face-to-face, in her view it's no problem.

Only such a her is a genuine, living person.

If she had to be at the Happy Princess's beck and call, she'd feel she was no longer herself.

Miss, I asked the Happy Princess Highness about that young master of the Xie Family, and she said that young master is quite disagreeable and even hits people!

They say he's a young master of noble families in the capital, and hardly anyone there hasn't been hit by him!

But the good news is, he doesn't hit women!

Cuiyu hurriedly relayed the information she had gathered from the Happy Princess to her miss.

After hearing Cuiyu's words, Shen Yunyao reached out and pinched her chubby cheeks, saying, "Silly Cuiyu, I ask you: when your brothers were little, didn't they get into fights with the neighborhood boys?"

They did—quite a lot, uh……

Cuiyu finally had a sudden realization.

So, I was worrying for nothing?

Shen Yunyao nodded and said, "The Xie Family could become a long‑lasting lineage in Dayong; how could its descendants be unreasonable scoundrels?"

You, you've got your concerns all wrong!

Then, what should I be concerned about?

You don't need to worry about anything!

Shen Yunyao flicked Cuiyu's forehead lightly, saying, "You, as long as you stay by my side, my miss, and be my little joy, that's enough!"

This kind of headache‑inducing matter, I, your miss, will handle it myself!

When necessary, you can help me gather information!
