Chapter 40

Perhaps it was because of the wind yesterday that Shen Hua had to hold her handkerchief and coughed softly. Her throat was itchy and painful. After a while, she finally felt better and took the black medicine from Yi Cui.

In the end, she let Yi Cui buy the house.

This time, she was only prepared to bring Yi Cui, Madam Cheng, the little maid Ningzhu, and the servant Cheng Gui.

The items that were brought out from the Shen residence were placed in the new residence along with the other servants.

Shen Hua asked Cheng Gui to find Aunt Liu privately. She wanted her to stay in the house so that they could take care of each other.

However, Aunt Liu declined.

Thanks to Mistress Shen’s concern, Qie had been wandering for half of her life and only gained Madam’s love and affection to get a place in the Shen residence. The remaining half of her life was only to remember Ah Zhui and pray for Mistress Shen.

Shen Hua did not insist.

On the left and right, Shen Qu and Shen Xue’s family reputations was thoroughly ruined.

Just as Shen Hua thought, Shen Xueshi went to the court only to ask questions. In the entire case, she was only the driving force.

There was a precedent for netherworld marriage in the current dynasty, but there is no corresponding law. Things in the netherworld were not under the jurisdiction of the government. If this matter was brought to the yamen, it would be nothing more than a murder designed by the Dong family, and the conspiracy behind it was appalling.

If Shen Xueshi was a bit smarter, she would no longer hide it and tell everything she knew on the complaint paper. After signing, she would wait for the whole matter to be written out, and before the Dong family’s crimes were determined, she would only suffer a few days of jail time.

After the matter was over, she could return home.

As for the Dong family…

Naturally, they would trade a life for a life.

All the citizens of Fengzhou were watching, so they would not make things difficult for Aunt Liu.

The next day…

The morning market was open, and the streets were filled with traffic.

Ji He casually glanced at the gift boxes in the car and said in a strange tone, “You really dote on Rong Jie.”

If it wasn’t for Cui Yun, Cui Rong would not be so lawless.

Cui Yun’s fingertips gently rubbed the paper as he flipped through the book. Hearing this, he only responded calmly.

If one said that he was arrogant, he would respond with disagreement. If one said that he was old-fashioned and calm, Ji He could define Cui Yun too.

However, he could not find a single mistake with this claim.

Ji He gritted his teeth.

How could he let Cui Yun have it easy? The journey was long, so he had to find some entertainment.

“When I visited your manor last time, I heard from your mother that she had taken a fancy to the Third Lady of the Admiral Manor. That Yan Mi is well-educated and well-mannered. She is a good match for you. ”

The Nine Gates ‘Infantry Army patrolling the five battalions did not disgrace the Yang Ling Marquis Manor at all.

This matter… As long as Cui Yun nodded, it would most likely be settled.

It was a good marriage in theory.

Ji He gave him a bad idea. “You do have an idea, but you haven’t seen Yan Mi before. Why don’t we sneak into the admiral’s manor next time and take a look with our own eyes?”

Shen Hua was covering her mouth and yawning. She was hugging the rabbit doll in her arms, her little head nodding and her eyes sleepy.

Upon hearing this, she perked up.

Cui Yun pursed his thin lips and said nothing.

“Your character is not good, but you can marry a virtuous wife. You can’t be careless in choosing the marquis’ wife.”

As he spoke, Ji He did not forget to ask Shen Hua for her opinion.

“Mistress Shen, what do you think?”

Shen Hua nodded without hesitation.

“If you want to find someone like Savior, you have to find the best.”

As she spoke, she thought of that little b*tch Zhou Zhizhi. Since ancient times, marrying a virtuous woman was not always a good thing. He frowned and said, “A woman who always likes to be pretentious is not good to have around.”

He thought of Zhou Zhizhi and Zheng Qianyu.

“For the sake of a peaceful home, those who stir up trouble and only know how to hit people when they are down should be kicked out.”

“That’s right!”

“It’s not like I’m marrying my ancestors.”

“I think so too.”

The more Ji He looked at Shen Hua, the more he liked her. In order to give Cui Yun a clear goal, this woman did not hesitate to belittle herself. “If that’s the case,” Ji He advised Shen Hua, “you should change your bad habits and marry a good son-in-law in the future.”

Shen Hua furrowed her brows at his words.

The little lady was at a loss for a moment, but it soon turned into anger. However, Ji He had a noble status, so she could only turn the anger inwards. Clenching her small fists, she pouted.

“Why are you scolding me for no reason?”

Huh?

“I’m a dignified and virtuous woman,” Shen Hua said seriously.

Ji He choked.

Did she misunderstand herself?

Cui Yun’s eyebrows twitched.

He looked at the boneless Shen Hua who was lying around lazily.

“Hahahahahaha!”

When Shen Hua heard the laughter, she became even more uneasy. She dared to be angry but did not dare to say anything. She still had to rely on the two of them along the way. He could only hang his head angrily.

The Edelweiss in her hair swayed slightly with her movements.

The earthen gray fur made her look even more pitiful. Her palm-sized face was pale…

Because she drank medicine all year round, his body carried a faint medicinal fragrance, which was not necessarily bad but still left an impression.

Cui Yun was deep in thought.

Not long after, she felt a weight on her knees. Shen Hua looked down and saw a bag of walnut cakes.

“I didn’t see you eat much for breakfast, so you must be hungry. Eat.”

Although Cui Yun’s voice was calm and without any ripples, in comparison to Ji He, he was an angel and Ji He was a pile of mud that could not say a single good word!

The walnuts were crispy and fragrant. Shen Hua liked them but rarely ate them because she would choke when she swallowed them.

However … She was indeed a little hungry. Yi Cui had brought some dry food but forgot to give it to her, so she brought it to the carriage at the back.

Shen Hua thought about it and thanked him.

The little lady picked up a piece and bit it in small bites. Her cheeks puffed up and her eyes shone brightly. She ate very slowly, her heart and eyes focused on the walnut crisp.

The expression in the man’s eyes flickered. He did not read the book anymore, as if he was reading something extremely pleasing to the eye.

Shen Hua ate a piece and was about to wipe her hands with a handkerchief.

“If it suits your appetite, why don’t you eat another piece?” Cui Yun’s voice was faint.

Shen Hua could not bear to reject Cui Yun’s kindness.

She could only eat another piece. He had just swallowed the last mouthful.

“Make yourself at home. Eat up.”

Shen Hua felt a little stuffed.

“No…” She was done.

“I bought a lot. I don’t want it to go to waste.”

Shen Hua was stunned, and she was so touched that she picked up another piece.

Cui Yun smiled when he saw this. “Mistress Shen, eat slowly. This bag is all yours. ”

“Cough!”

Shen Hua, who would not reject Cui Yun, was frightened. She frowned in pain and felt a lump in her throat.

“Drink some water.”

A cup of tea appeared before her eyes.

Ji He had never seen such a considerate Cui Yun before.

This ‘Snowball’ was going to be stuffed to death under his constant feeding!

It was the same for the cat, too.

“Here, your favorite jerky.”

“I heard that cats like to eat fish. You’re really picky, only eating cooked fish. ”

“I got a basket of lychees from the tribute. I’ll split it between Ah Niang and Rong Jie, but these are all yours.”

What could be even more ridiculous than that?

Cui Yun went to court one day, looking worried. He specially found the servants in the palace who took care of the precious cats.

“Snowball ate human food behind my back. Will it die?”
