Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Why Not Just Call It Xue Tuan

After paying his respects to Cui Xuan, Cui Yun went to stand by her side.

His appearance made Wu Shaoyin blush.

She hesitantly looked at Cui Yun with a girl’s romantic feelings, but he did not give her a single glance.

Wu Shaoyin did not mind.

After all, Dowager Wu had said that next time she saw Cui Yang, she would definitely mention the marriage between her and Cui Yun.

With the uncle who can’t forget her aunt, naturally, he would agree.

The words of Cui Yun made both, Dowager Wu and Granny Wu, change their expressions.

They could openly or secretly ridicule Cui Xuan, but ultimately they had to consider Cui Yun. Even if what Cui Yun said was unpleasant, they could only accept it.

Dowager Wu’s smile became strained.

"Look at how anxious you are, your mother is famously generous, I can’t possibly devour her, can I? We are all family, surely we won’t hold grudges."

As she spoke, she indeed lowered her stance.

She sat up a bit straighter.

"It’s true, that old woman Nanny Wang behaved disgracefully. I’d never imagined she would be so bold! It’s hard on you, my grandmother has been so troubled by this she hasn’t eaten well or slept well these days."

Cui Yun smiled faintly.

For some reason, he suddenly thought of the young cub that pointed at Ji Ge and cursed.

Probably, if it was here, and if it could understand human speech as Ji Xin said, it would probably roll its eyes and start nagging nonstop again.

Cui Yun lazily said, "Dowager Wu indeed looks quite unwell. I heard outside that you’ve been ill."

"Since that’s the case, I see no need for you to see grandmother again, lest you pass your illness onto her."

Dowager Wu stiffened, unable to muster another smile.

Granny Wu twisted her handkerchief, worried that marrying her daughter Wu Shaoyin to Cui Yun would aggrieve her.

Dowager Wu: "...Exactly."

Cui Yun casually flattered her with a phrase.

"Dowager Wu is indeed generous and kind-hearted."

Cui Yun: "The incident a few days ago also left my mother feeling unwell. Grandmother has already given her tasks to manage, and everyone in the mansion is busy. It’s indeed hectic. When will Dowager Wu be leaving?"

This was outright asking her to leave.

Coming here, how is it different from receiving a cold shoulder?

Dowager Wu: "It’s not that urgent, your mother is busy, but it’s good for us to chat a bit."

Cui Yun: "Unfortunately, the Seventh Prince has entrusted me with tasks and Weizhen also cannot spare the time."

On the way back to the mansion, Dowager Wu’s face was as dark as ink, grinding her teeth in frustration: "Not to say Yun, even Bai is protective of their mother. After all, she gave birth to them. Look at the Cui family, how many of them remember your short-lived aunt?"

Granny Wu was even more heavily burdened.

Cui Yun’s attitude had already made it clear.

"If this is the case, to betroth Ayin to Yun, I’m afraid Cui Xuan might intentionally make things difficult, playing the wicked mother-in-law and imposing rules on Ayin. Moreover..."

"Yun’s demeanor just now, he didn’t seem to have any interest in Ayin."

Wu Shaoyin was very unhappy: "Mother!"

Dowager Wu also felt that these words were inauspicious.

"After all, it’s Cui Yang who calls the shots at Marquis Yangling Mansion! Old Master Cui rarely interferes anymore."

"Just a word from him, and Cui Yun wouldn’t defy a father’s command, right? Moreover, that Cui Xuan hasn’t won Cui Yang’s affection at all even after all these years since giving birth to his sons, she’s really of no use. Why worry?"

————

After dealing with the Wu family, Cui Yun returned to Ju Courtyard. Passing by the garden, he heard rustling sounds.

He paused, looking down.

He saw a small, exquisitely woven bamboo nest, with a cub sprawling in sleep. Its furry ears drooped. There was also a purple flower on its head.

"Master."

Weeding Ji Xin ran over, then followed Cui Yun’s gaze.

Shocked!

The cub had plucked the most precious flower in the garden!

This flower was a tribute from a vassal state, and the Emperor had gifted it to the master. She had carefully nurtured it for three years, and it had only bloomed five flowers!

"It’s my negligence."

Saying so, she hurriedly took the flower off Shen Hua’s head.

Shen Hua’s eyes slowly opened, bleary.

Intending to switch to a more comfortable position to continue sleeping, she keenly spotted the flower pinched in Ji Xin’s hand.

"Grrr."

She leaped up to snatch it back, then plopped onto the soft cotton below.

Shen Hua could only protest.

"This was not easy for me to pick."

Ji Xin: "You’re causing trouble. Be quiet."

Cui Yun: "It’s scolding you."

Ji Xin: ...

Shen Hua: "Nonsense, I am a girl who never swears."

Cui Yun: "Look, it’s still scolding you."

While saying this, he couldn’t help but snicker, "But it knows how to dress up."

Shen Hua stopped meowing.

She raised her head somewhat proudly.

Seeing that Cui Yun was not blaming her, Ji Xin couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. She crouched down again and placed the flower back.

Shen Hua looked sideways.

The petals appeared ravaged, wiltedly pitiful.

She stomped on it with one paw.

Then stretched out a little short leg towards a spot.

"Pick again."

"There are four more there."

She truly shines with a little sunshine.

Ji Xin patted Shen Hua’s head somewhat irritably.

"Behave yourself."

Shen Hua meowed softly, clearly annoyed.

She’s been hit more times in her past two lives than in the few days she’s been a cat.

Cui Yun found it amusing. Even the gloom brought by the Wu Family people dissipated quite a bit. After witnessing Shen Hua pretending to be dead by holding her head, the young man lowered his gaze.

He thought that if observing for a while longer and the kitten really had no oddities, its proud acting skills would make it an excellent choice for Cui Xuan to raise.

It could make Mama happy; these external things hardly matter.

He lifted his hand, without any apparent heartache, and picked the remaining four flowers all at once.

As Shen Hua pretended to be dead, her eyes slightly left a little gap, seeing this, she got up again.

"Are these for me?"

"Your generosity is something this maid cannot compare with."

The meow sounded sticky and sweetly milky, and her round cat eyes looked like shiny translucent beads.

Definitely not scolding him.

Cui Yun couldn’t help but chuckle softly, placing all the flowers in front of Shen Hua before he stepped away and walked off.

He wasn’t walking fast, so he could still hear the cat’s triumphant meowing.

Shen Hua: "Ji Xin, make me a flower crown."

Ji Xin couldn’t understand, but she could discern the difference between the kitten’s calls to her and to Cui Yun.

Ji Xin suspiciously: "You’re not really scolding me, are you?"

Shen Hua: "Hurry up."

Ji Xin: "The master wouldn’t lie to me."

Shen Hua awkwardly clutched the flowers and came closer to urge: "Quick."

Ji Xin: "But I feel like you aren’t that ungrateful. Look, you even give me the flowers."

Shen Hua: ...

After much effort, Shen Hua finally wore a delicate purple flower crown, and during Ji Xin’s moments of weeding, she dangled and chased after Cui Yun.

Cui Yun had just lain down for a nap when suddenly there was a clang inside the room.

He opened his eyes and looked down to see a basket that contained crickets overturned, with crickets jumping out.

This was brought by cousin Xuan Shen.

Cui Yun rubbed his temples, then looked into the frightened eyes of the cat whose fur had all puffed up.

Shen Hua already found insects disgusting.

But she had never seen such a large cricket.

It was even hopping towards her.

The kitten trembled, retreating step by step. Each and every hair was quivering.

She had been well cared for, her fur snow-white without a single speck of other color.

Shen Hua: ?? "Chase it away! It’s going to jump on me!"

Cui Yun pondered for a moment, then suddenly curled his lips into a smile: "Why not just call it Snow Ball?"
