Chapter 116: Chapter 116 You’ve Angered My Cat

Ji Ge couldn’t pry Cui Yun’s mouth open. Thus, the situation became quite awkward. Hearing the noise, he lowered his head to look at the kitten leisurely swishing its tail on the ground...

"The palace has just received a few rare cats, with eyes like sapphires, such beautiful creatures. The concubines in the palace are scrambling for them. There’s a saying ’rather lack than have something shoddy.’ If you really are considering keeping a pet, why not mention it to Father, he naturally dotes on you."

Shen Hua: ???

What does ’rather lack than have something shoddy’ mean??? Am I that bad!

The kitten, infuriated, glared directly at Ji Ge.

Its round, cat eyes looked childish and cute. Cui Yun couldn’t help but take pleasure in its antics.

He feared that if Ji Ge continued, the kitten might just start pawing and cursing again.

No rare cat could compare to the interesting one right in front of him.

"Forget it."

Cui Yun said indifferently.

Ji Ge: "It’s quite fierce, though."

Ji Ge furrowed his brow.

"This kind of house cat, if not well-trained, I fear it won’t lose its wild nature, and if it bites people, that will be even more troublesome."

Bite people?

Others are the ones she finds unclean.

It’s none of your business!

"Meow!"

Even though she couldn’t do anything about it and couldn’t argue, she could only stomp away furiously, not even wanting the handkerchief.

The doorstep was quite high; she had taken a tumble earlier when trying to get inside, which is how she encountered the basket containing crickets.

Her forehead was still hurting.

Shen Hua stared at the door threshold, nearly half as tall as her, desperately watching the outside scenery, her departing figure exuding undeniable sullenness.

She couldn’t get out.

Shen Hua forcefully greeted Ji Xin who was outside.

"Miao miao miao."

Her voice was so feeble that Ji Xin didn’t hear her.

Shen Hua’s spirit weakened. She could only crawl toward her nest with resignation and a sense of defeat.

Cui Yun leaned back comfortably, letting out a contented grunt.

Watching the kitten puff up and melodramatically be despondent in a corner licking its wounds, he seemed to have found the delight in indulging in frivolous pleasures.

"Seventh Prince."

Ji Ge: "Hmm?"

The man spoke languidly: "You’ve upset my cat."

"So you’re quite protective of your calf."

Ji Ge, sipping his wine, suddenly thought of something and felt the need to mention it: "By the way, these jars of Qiulou White were bought from a secluded tavern on the outskirts, a necessary route to the military camp. While I was persuading the owner to sell me a few more jars, guess who I saw?"

Cui Yun’s eyebrows knitted: "Wu Family."

His tone was calm, yet certain, which surprised Ji Ge.

"You’re quite the prophet. The wind lifted the curtain, and I caught a rare glimpse. Inside was Dowager Wu. No need to think twice, she was definitely heading to the military camp."

Ji Ge was aware of the animosity between Wu Family and Cui Yun.

"Perhaps the visitor has ill intentions; you’d better be on guard."

Cui Yun: "Since she’s upset with me, naturally she’ll go to my father to spin a sob story. It’s not the first time Dowager Wu has done such a thing."

Old Master Cui and Dowager Cui have both spoken; it’s truly not a fear-inducing matter.

He was curious to see what stance Cui Yang would take this time.

Since it involved the family affairs of the Cui family, having an understanding of Cui Yun’s thoughts, Ji Ge very consciously refrained from saying more.

He rose leisurely.

"Boring, if you won’t drink with me, I’ll go find Xun Jihuo for a drink. Although he despises the idea of boating, who doesn’t enjoy putting on a show? It’s all quite harmless."

Cui Yun didn’t hold him back but still reminded him.

"For the Empress Dowager’s birthday gift, if you truly aren’t sure what to prepare, you might as well take a trip to Fengzhou. There and back, you’ll have enough time."

"Fengzhou?"

Shen Hua suddenly looked towards Cui Yun, her gaze sharp and attentive, free from her previous dejection.

Cui Yun nodded: "Yifeng Hall’s embroidery are mostly from the four major embroidery workshops, I’m not very familiar with them, but I know the best-selling embroidery comes from Shen Family’s Embroidery Workshop in Fengzhou."

Truly befitting of the future Marquis.

Truly discerning.

Shen Hua couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride. Her eyes shone brightly as she looked at Cui Yun.

Her family’s embroidery workshop was naturally of high quality!

"With the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince bearing down upon us, the gifts from the imperial relatives must certainly be chosen with care. Thus, the selected embroideries shouldn’t be too outstanding, yet they must stand out to avoid gossip. Traveling to and from Fengzhou is a long journey showing sincerity. It suffices."

Ji Ge seemed to be deep in thought.

The prospect of running a dusty errand for the Empress Dowager was not to his liking in the least. However, he could have his confidants make the purchase! And he could take advantage of the opportunity to leave Shengjing and enjoy himself amidst the mountains and waters.

Excited!

Ji Ge left with a joyful heart.

Cui Yun looked at the beads on his wrist for a long time without speaking. The light cast a soft glow on his exquisite profile, adding a touch of tenderness.

Who knows how much time had passed.

He glanced up at Shen Hua, his thin lips moving slightly as if teasingly: "Come here."

Perhaps too trusting, the young cub didn’t hesitate to leap out from her nest and stagger toward Cui Yun.

Cui Yun’s voice betrayed no warmth, but he seemed quite interested as he uttered each word deliberately: "You indeed understand."

Shen Hua halted in her steps.

The man caressed the beads: "The smarter they are, the faster they tend to die."

He murmured as if to himself: "Aside from paintings, I really have not seen a cat that has developed intelligence so early. Perhaps it’s no less than a mountain spirit."

Who are you threatening!

Shen Hua actually felt threatened.

Cui Yun wouldn’t throw her out of the Marquis Mansion, would he?

She remembered Zheng Qianyu had a silly dog. She used to lord over it and made it run in circles for her amusement.

Shen Hua endured the humiliation.

And so, such a scene unfolded.

The young cub, acting foolishly charming, ran toward Cui Yun, trembling legs causing her to stumble and even fall. She then lunged towards the handkerchief on the ground.

Without giving Cui Yun a single glance, she struggled to carry it back.

As if, it wasn’t Cui Yun’s call that she was responding to, but just for the handkerchief.

Shen Hua put in a great effort in her performance, so much that even a pregnant runaway wife would be outdone.

She had given too much.

Fortunately, she was now just a cat, a mere cat, and no one would associate her with the delicate Miss Shen.

Meanwhile, Cui Yun watched her act with deep, attentive eyes. He was probably more serious than if he were reading a book, ruthlessly exposing her without giving her any face.

"Hiding your ears to steal a bell, it seems I have underestimated you."

With a ’snap’.

Shen Hua truly took a fall this time.

Cui Yun’s index finger curved, intermittently tapping on the desk.

’Thump thump thump’

Gradually, the rhythm synchronized with the beating of Shen Hua’s heart. Just as she felt annoyed and vexed, a low chuckle came from behind her.

"Being clever is always better than being stupid."

That was at least a sensible statement.

Before Shen Hua could regain her composure, she was picked up by the man.

Cui Yun held her by the nape of her neck casually, nonchalantly swinging her as he left the study. He could clearly sense the tremors of the cat in his hand.

"Mew."

"Ji Xin."

"Servant is here."

Ji Xin watched, heart pounding with fear, lest Cui Yun drop the cat onto the ground the next instant.

Cui Yun tossed the cat, which had rolled on the ground, over to her.

"It’s dirty."

Shen Hua curled up in Ji Xin’s arms, instinctively shivering. For a moment, she truly feared Cui Yun might crush her to death.

"Give it a wash."

Shen Hua clenched Ji Xin’s clothes tightly.

It won’t be washed!

Cui Yun ordered: "Wash it clean and then bring it back."
