Chapter 300 - Brother Jiu Causing Trouble

The news of the Second Prince and Young Master Yan fighting in the streets quickly spread in the Capital. Young Master Yan was notorious for his evil deeds, so it was not strange for him to fight. What was strange was that the Second Prince also got involved. This prince had always been sensible and did not seem like someone who would make things difficult for his cousin. Of course, the most likely possibility was that Yan Jiuchao took the initiative to provoke him. However, as the saying goes, it takes two to tango. Although Yan Jiuchao always bullied others, the people he bullied were not good people. In that case, could it be that this prince had done something to make Yan Jiuchao unhappy?

The Emperor received the news at night. He had originally decided to sleep with a Noble Lady, but when he heard about this, he was so angry that he did not want to sleep.

He gave out red eggs in the morning and had a fight with the prince in the afternoon.

“He’s really busy. He’s even busier than me, the ruler of a country!”

Eunuch Wang quickly said, “Your Majesty, please calm down.”

How could he calm down? Eunuch Wang only said that, but he knew better than anyone that it would be strange if he could calm down after his son was beaten up. To put it nicely, it was a group fight, but in the end, Yan Jiuchao was unscathed. On the other hand, Yan Huaijing’s face was swollen and unrecognizable. His parents almost couldn’t recognize him.

Although he was unwilling to admit it, the Second Prince had indeed been bullied by Yan Jiuchao.

Yan Huaijing was not the useless Fourth Prince. He was the Emperor’s most valued son.

If it were anyone else who did this, they would have long been wiped out by the Emperor. However, the Emperor sadly discovered that if he wanted to destroy Yan Jiuchao’s family, he would have to kill himself first. Therefore, the Emperor was even angrier.

“Why this time?” The Emperor asked angrily.

Eunuch Wang said awkwardly, “It seems that after His Highness went to court, he didn’t go to the Dali Temple, but…”

“What is it!” The Emperor was impatient.

Eunuch Wang said, “His Highness went to look for Mrs. Yan.”

Yan Jiuchao naturally would not reveal to the public that Yan Huaijing was pestering Yu Wan. Speaking of which, it was the Second Prince’s fault, but justice in the world was especially biased towards men. If word got out, it would inevitably make people think that Yu Wan was immoral, that she even seduced Yan Huaijing while she was married to Yan Jiuchao.

It was not difficult for Eunuch Wang to find out the truth. He went to the Second Prince Manor, caught the coachman and threatened him, and the coachman confessed honestly. The coachman didn’t hear much, but there seemed to be some words like “threat”.

So it was his son who threatened Yan Jiuchao’s wife first before Yan Jiuchao beat him up? Alright, his son asked for it. The Emperor did not even have a reason to be angry.

Coincidentally, Worthy Consort Xu came to the imperial study.

She had also heard about Yan Huaijing. Now that she was being watched by the Empress, it was not convenient for her to secretly leave the palace. She could only let her trusted eunuch go to the Second Prince Manor. According to her trusted eunuch, the Second Prince was seriously injured and was almost beaten into a pig’s head. She wished she could faint on the spot.

Of course, she knew that her son had never given up on Yu Wan. This time, it was most likely related to that woman. However, no matter what, her son was still a prince. How could the son of a prince beat up a prince on the streets? If word got out, would her son still have his dignity?

Yan Jiuchao had beaten up her nephew first and humiliated her son later on. This time, she wanted His Majesty to give her an explanation!

“Your Majesty—”

She burst into tears and came to the door of the imperial study.

Before she could finish her sentence, a memorial flew out and hit her forehead!

“You still have the cheek to come? Watch your son!”

The Emperor was worried that he had nowhere to vent his anger. Wasn’t Worthy Consort Xu asking for trouble by bumping into him now?

Worthy Consort Xu did not even see the Emperor before she was frightened by the Emperor’s anger and fled.

… .

On the other side, a certain young master who had bullied Yan Huaijing returned to the manor in a good mood.

What did it mean by he had to obediently call him master after bullying him? This was the case.

It was already past dinner time, but Yu Wan did not eat. She sat in the room and waited for him to come back. It was strange. In her previous life, she would not be like this. She only realized the importance of a family after coming to the Yu family and becoming Ah Wan.

When the food was heated up for the third time, Yan Jiuchao entered the room.

Yan Jiuchao had been sitting in a wheelchair for a period of time and announced to the public that he had sprained his ankle. It was not surprising to people that he could walk now.

Yu Wan was sitting in front of the windowsill. There were a few extremely ugly Nepenthes on the eaves of the table, but when she sat there quietly, the Nepenthes seemed to have some immortal aura.

Yan Jiuchao looked at her quietly. It was difficult to associate her with the little vixen in the night. She was his wife, Yan Jiuchao’s wife.

Yu Wan was in a daze. She did not hear any footsteps, but she vaguely felt two gazes that could not be ignored. She turned her head and a faint smile appeared on her fair and red face. “You’re back.”

It was a simple sentence, but it made this place feel like home.

Yan Jiuchao nodded and looked at the food on the table. “Why haven’t you eaten?”

“Waiting for you,” Yu Wan said with a smile.

At night, a few oil lamps were lit in the room. The lights were dim and there was a different kind of warmth.

Yan Jiuchao came to the table.

Yu Wan called Tao’er over to fetch water. He washed his hands and wiped his face. Yu Wan began to pick up food for him.

Yu Wan had heard Nanny Wan mention that the Prince Manor did not eat by themselves. They ate whatever the maidservant gave them and could not eat too much. Yan Jiuchao was concerned about her feelings and did not let the Young Master Manor be so particular.

“This is yam stewed with deer meat.”

It was to nourish the kidneys and strengthen the body. After what happened last night, Yu Wan was worried that his body could not take it, so she asked the kitchen to make this.

Yan Jiuchao took a bite and did not taste much, but it was not strange. After all, he had been poisoned for many years, and the damage to his body could not be recovered overnight. Many things had to be slowly nursed back to health, so he was not in a hurry.

Yu Wan picked up another piece of spring bamboo shoots for him. “The bamboo shoots are not tender anymore. The season for bamboo shoots is almost over.”

Yu Wan was the least talkative person in the Yu family. Ever since she came here, she felt that she had become more talkative.

In the end, he had exhausted a lot of energy. Yan Jiuchao ate one more bowl of rice than usual.

Without the little fellows fooling around, the two of them had rare peace and quiet. They went to the pond for a walk and went to the orchard to pick some cherries. Yu Wan hugged the cherry basket and ate one from time to time. Her cheeks were puffed up like a little squirrel looking for food.

Yan Jiuchao laughed.

“What are you laughing at?” Yu Wan looked at him in shock.

“Nothing,” Yan Jiuchao said seriously as he restrained his smile.

Yu Wan picked a fresh cherry and stuffed it into his mouth.

“Is it sweet?”

“Sweet.”

It was unknown if he was talking about the cherries or her fingertips.

She originally wanted to take a walk to digest her food, but after eating half a basket of cherries, Yu Wan’s stomach was full. She lay on the bed for a long time and could not sleep.

Yan Jiuchao returned to the room after taking a shower. Seeing that she was still awake, he walked over and sat down. He said seriously, “I told you before that you can’t go overboard with such things. You have to restrain yourself.”

Yu Wan was confused. What was this guy talking about? She was just stuffed.

Yan Jiuchao coughed lightly and said, “Although we’re newly married, we cannot be greedy. Once every four days is enough.”

Not be greedy? I wonder who refused to stop last night!

“Last night was to detoxify,” Yan Jiuchao said seriously.

Yu Wan : “…”

Yan Jiuchao said, “It’s too harmful to the body if we overdo it. We can’t let our desires run wild.”

Yu Wan played with her fingers and said, “B-but it can’t be four days…” Only once. She would be stifled to death!

Yan Jiuchao saw the bitterness on her face. He took a deep breath and took a big step back. “Three days.”

“Then does today count as a day?”

“No.”

Yu Wan : “…”

Yu Wan said, “But I think there’s still poison in your body. This isn’t for fun, but to detoxify and treat your illness.”

Yan Jiuchao paused. “…Oh, that’s true.”

The two of them “detoxify” the poison again and again, and the hot water in the kitchen boiled all night.

The two of them on the pleasure boat had no experience and were mostly fooling around. Last night, Yu Wan gradually got a little satisfaction, but the price was not small.

When she woke up the next day, Yu Wan’s waist was about to break. She suddenly felt that he was right. She could not overdo this kind of thing. She had to restrain herself! At this time, the benefits of not living with her in-laws came. She did not have to worry about who would set rules for her. Otherwise, if her mother-in-law was here, she would really be…

Yan Jiuchao went out to cause trouble again.

Yu Wan dragged her sore body to wash up and eat some breakfast. The servant reported that Emissary Cui had arrived.

Emissary Cui had been ordered by the Empress to invite Yu Wan into the palace to tailor her clothes. On the day of Prince Cheng’s wedding, Yu Wan had to wear Princess Consort Yan’s court uniform. The embroiderers among the commoners were not qualified to do this. She had to go to the General Palace Service.
