Chapter 127: Chapter 127: As Expected, Cui Yun is No Good!!!

Ji Huo spoke a lot more after that, but Cui Yun did not respond.

He was still fervently passionate, always paying attention to another table. His gaze was so intense that it prompted Xuan Chen beside him to quietly remind him.

"This habit of being unable to move on upon seeing a girl should also change; you should take it easy. If I remember correctly, the number of concubines in your mansion is more than you can count on both hands."

Ji Huo, unashamed, took it as a compliment: "One more wouldn’t hurt."

He clearly had experience in dealing with women ruthlessly.

"I generally know all the beautiful women in Shengjing, but this is my first time seeing her. It seems she doesn’t hold any significant status."

He casually stroked his handsome face.

"Once I figure out her background, I’ll get close to her. After all, I recently won first place at the boating poetry event, and I’m also the Princely Heir of Prince Gong Mansion. With just a few words, a sensible girl will be ready to jump into my arms."

The moment he finished speaking, someone beside him smirked.

Ji Huo frowned: "What are you laughing at!"

Cui Yun did not even look at him, just slightly furrowed his brow and said solemnly, "The Princely Heir should speak with more caution. Judging by your scholarly talent, that title of first place seems rather dubious."

"I earned it fair and square! I’m warning you, don’t spoil my mood."

Cui Rong was displeased, glaring at him: "Why are you being fierce to my uncle!"

Cui Rong: "Your handwriting isn’t even as neat as mine!"

She snorted and continued eating her food with her head down.

Ji Huo: ...

Don’t think that just because you are Cui Bai’s daughter, I wouldn’t dare to hit you.

Oh..., he can’t beat Cui Yun, and obviously, he can’t beat Xuan Chen either.

Cui Yun spoke firmly: "Aim not for falsehood, act with rectitude. Being from a poor family, one must value integrity to advance in officialdom, but it’s far less glamorous compared to the title of Heir of Prince Gong. I’m afraid I cannot agree with the Princely Heir’s constant claims of being the top contender."

"With so many things happening these days, the Emperor has had no leisure, but now that the Seventh Prince’s marriage is settled, I might mention this matter. The Saint might find it very interesting. If the Princely Heir wishes to vindicate himself, why not allow the Emperor to test you personally? It would also shut me up and let your virtue and talent be known far and wide."

Ji Huo: ...

He was shaking with anger.

Emperor He to test him? It seemed likely he’d be embarrassed and beaten again.

Indeed, Cui Yun is no good!!

And this commotion even made Shen Hua turn her head to look this way.

Ji Huo’s heart thumped wildly.

He was even ready to lower his head to Cui Yun for the sake of love!

"Can you give me some face!"

Cui Yun’s voice was nonchalant: "I simply despise those who seek fame through unscrupulous means."

Ji Huo’s face darkened.

And Xuan Chen couldn’t help but look over.

He felt... Cui Yun was speaking too much tonight.

In recent days, seeing the aunt worrying excessively about Cui Yun’s marriage, he immediately smiled and comforted her.

This younger cousin, though younger than him, was superior in every aspect. If he didn’t want to marry, even the Daluo Immortal wouldn’t be of any use, and if he decided to marry someone and settle down, naturally no one could stop him.

Heroes often find it hard to overcome the barrier of a beauty.

It was so with Cui Bai back then, and now, likely even more so with Cui Yun.

He couldn’t help but thoughtfully look toward Shen Hua not far away.

On the table, Shen Hua was only picking at the vegetarian dishes.

The meat dishes, to say she wasn’t tempted would be a lie. Her apricot eyes watery, she resisted her cravings and stared straight at the pregnant woman beside her.

The other party blushed under Shen Hua’s gaze.

She asked shyly, "Is there something dirty on my face?"

Shen Hua’s mouth, capable of offending people or coaxing hearts to bloom, not to mention the ease of engaging in conversation.

Her eyes curved, smiling she asked, "The threshold of the main hall is high, you must be careful when you go back."

Coming along with the Minister of Ministry of Industry’s daughter, Wei Yingying, her status must also be prestigious. Not to mention that she was sweet and had an even sweeter voice, she was also easy to get along with.

The round-faced girl couldn’t help but smile too.

"I’ll be careful."

Shen Hua asked sweetly, "How many months along are you?"

"Seven months."

No wonder her belly was so big.

Shen Hua: "Then you also need to be mindful of your diet and sleeping posture, and make sure to get some walks in. Although it’s cold, it’s not good to always stay inside."

Wei Yingying, while eating her meal: ???

So you’ve been chatting with someone else?

Indeed, her gaze discreetly fell on Shen Hua’s lower abdomen. Naturally, Shen Hua understood this.

The round-faced girl nodded, "I have even settled the midwife; it’s Mrs. Zhao from the West Chamber. I’m just afraid that on the day of delivery, searching for her might be difficult, finding a good one would be tough."

Sister-in-law Wang had mentioned this before.

Shen Hua also had some understanding of this.

"Then you could book another one, East Alley’s elderly midwife is a rare reliable one among Shengjing’s midwives."

Childbirth is like crossing the gates of hell, upon hearing this the round-faced girl nodded repeatedly: "I will send someone to book it right away."

Ji Huo, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but nod repeatedly himself.

"Although I don’t know why she knows so much about midwives, just look, she has such a warm heart!"

The round-faced girl became even more enthusiastic towards Shen Hua.

"This venison sauce tastes good. Madam, would you like to try?"

Shen Hua held herself back.

She restrained herself from glancing at the venison sauce. However, the intense aroma of the meat powerfully tempted her.

Shen Hua closed her eyes, uttering every word slowly.

"No thanks, the deer is so cute, I can’t bear to eat it."

Wei Yingying, nearby, shuddered as the piece of rib she was holding with her chopsticks ’clattered’ to the ground.

"Talk normally!"

She displeasedly wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief.

"Do you think you’re some frail girl who feels sorrowful and guilty for stepping on flowers? Wake up!"

Is this even possible? Are there such overly sensitive girls in the world?

Shen Hua felt that she could... be like that too.

She looked at Wei Yingying with an expression you wouldn’t understand for a long while, then lowered her head to look at the rib that fell to the ground. Her lips parted, uttering: "It must be in pain."

Shen Hua melancholically said, "After you finish eating, let’s bury it together."

Wei Yingying: ???

"Are you sick?"

Indeed.

Shen Hua nodded.

Wei Yingying: "But I’m not sick!"

Shen Hua looked at her innocently: "That’s not necessarily true."

Wei Yingying: ???

Ji Huo: !!!

His blood boiled when he heard this!!

Such a kind-hearted girl, unseen and unheard of before. Completely stirring his heart.

She must be a fairy!

"It’s over."

"I have completely fallen for her!"

Cui Yun, seemingly unhearing, just glanced sideways at Cui Rong biting chunks of meat, not touching any vegetables.

"Don’t always eat meat dishes."

Cui Rong acted coy, "But I don’t like vegetables."

"Really not eating?"

Cui Rong cautiously glanced at Cui Yun. Her second uncle still seemed as calm as usual, and she couldn’t help but relax.

"Not eating."

Meanwhile, Ji Huo solemnly straightened his robe, decided to take proactive measures!!

But before he could stand up, he heard Cui Yun’s calm muttering beside him.

"Naturally, someone will make you eat."

’Squeak—’ It was the sound of a round stool being dragged across the floor.

Cui Yun stood up, took Cui Rong’s bowl and chopsticks effortlessly and pulled her away from the seat.

Ji Huo watched intently as Cui Yun headed towards the mink-coat lady!
