Chapter 137: Chapter 137: Offended (Extra)

Shen Hua was very desperate.

Cui Rong, blind to the situation, kept pacing back and forth in front of her, making foolish suggestions: "Try harder, maybe you’ll get out."

"I’ll keep watch for you. It’s pretty embarrassing, but I won’t laugh at you."

Ahhh, she couldn’t take it anymore!

Shen Hua felt like she could claw her way into a different courtyard.

She always said, this little ghost is too bothersome! It’s not without reason.

"Wait ’till I get out, you little ghost. If you hadn’t misled me, would I be in this situation?"

"Why are you blaming me now?" Feeling unappreciated and frustrated by the effort, Cui Rong stopped abruptly, very unhappy, and even started to scold and preach.

"If you had just come out sideways, you would’ve been fine. Do you think you’re that slender?"

"This is your own fault! Don’t drag me into it."

The further inside the rockery, the more cramped it became; the wheelchair obviously couldn’t pass through, and Shen Hua had in mind that just ahead was Madam Cui Xuan’s courtyard.

The little ghost leading the way had already come out of the rockery. Not willing to pick further faults, she let Yicui push the wheelchair back, while she lifted her skirt and took small steps forward.

How could she be too fat to fit through? How could she possibly get stuck?

It’s absolutely impossible!

Therefore, she squeezed and squeezed, until she was firmly wedged in. Unable to retreat or advance.

Shen Hua was at a loss for words, having never been this embarrassed in either of her lives.

Seeing her hang her head in silence, Cui Rong couldn’t help but feel a little guilty. She, clever beyond her years, patted her chest.

"I’ll pull you out."

"Hurry up!"

The little dumpling struggled to pull on Shen Hua.

And then didn’t budge an inch.

Staring blankly, then looking at Shen Hua who was even more bewildered: "Let me think of another way."

Shen Hua said feebly, each word squeezing out: "You go."

"But I’m worried about you."

Barely controlling her temper, Shen Hua closed her eyes: "You have the nerve to say such a thing, just disappear."

Cui Rong looked around, wanting to do something, when suddenly her eyes lit up, and she called out to someone not far away.

"Second Uncle!"

The call was loud and clear; Shen Hua didn’t want to face it, her heart ached a little.

Cui Yun was taking a day off today, just having come from the Dowager, and was now on his way to give his respects to Madam Cui Xuan.

To him, the current peace in Shengjing was but a smoke screen, and who could predict the turmoil that might erupt at any moment.

The matter with Princess Le Jia was clearly directed at the Imperial Family, and he had even reviewed the documents again. The people who disappeared due to Buhuo held no low statuses, so... who would be next?

Crown Prince Ji Zhui, Second Prince Ji Cong, Third Prince Ji Teng, Fourth Prince Ji Wang. And then there was the Seventh Prince Ji Ge.

Among them, it seems only Ji Wang hasn’t had any trouble yet.

Cui Yun was about to say something when he heard someone calling from ahead.

He looked up calmly.

His first glimpse was not of Cui Rong, but of Shen Hua, wilted as if she wanted to blend into the rockery.

Cui Yun: ...

He stepped forward, his gaze inching over the languishing girl, unable to help but let out a soft chuckle.

A chuckle?

Shen Hua glared at him with a reddened face.

The man, adorned with a golden crown and jade belt, stood like a graceful tree, serene to the extreme. His presence was cool and unfettered.

His eyes were deep: "Miss Shen, good morning."

Listen, is this what people say!

Shen Hua replied feebly: "Good morning."

"Second Uncle, she was coming to pay respects to Grandmother, and even brought gifts."

Summoning her spirit, Shen Hua replied: "It was the least I could do to trouble you."

She was arrogant and willful, but she abided by the necessary protocols.

Cui Yun hadn’t expected Shen Hua to come at all; first, because her health was poor, and second, because Shen Hua was merely staying temporarily and had no need to go through such trouble.

The girl was pampered, but the Shen Family had taught her well.

Cui Yun stared steadily at her.

"So, this is the gift you bring?"

Shen Hua: !!!

You are the gift!

She wasn’t a performer in a grand opera, although, perhaps, probably, it might make your mother laugh heartily.

"It’s this little ghost who harmed me."

"Choosing such a shortcut instead of the good road!"

It might have been okay usually, but just her luck, she was all wrapped up round and bulky.

Cui Rong hid behind Cui Yun, but then thought Shen Hua couldn’t come out anyway, so what was she afraid of? The little girl put her hands on her hips, just about to stick out her tongue and make a face, when she caught a light glance from Cui Yun.

Cui Rong behaved herself.

"Uncle, you better pull her out quickly."

You think you’re pulling out a radish!

Shen Hua frowned: "No way."

The girl’s distressed expression was filled with gloom.

"What if my mink gets scraped and damaged? When Daddy bought it for me, it took a lot of effort, and I’ve always treasured it."

Cui Yun said nothing, his gaze on her was casual yet intense.

Seeing his attitude, Shen Hua couldn’t help but feel justified: "It’s very valuable."

Cui Yun indifferently said: "Continue."

She looked at the man, her voice considerably softer: "This is my best-looking piece of mink."

She seldom wore the other one.

Shen Hua, fearing Cui Yun would turn away and leave her, reiterated: "This is your residence. You can’t just ignore me."

She didn’t forget to add.

"Of course, I don’t mean to inconvenience you."

Cui Rong: You are inconveniencing me, though.

Cui Yun, patient as ever, responded: "Miss Shen makes a valid point."

His tone was even, but he abruptly asked, "Does your head still hurt? Ni Kang needs to apply more acupuncture."

Upon hearing this, Shen Hua’s complexion soured.

It was one thing to pass out yesterday, but did she really need to experience it again while conscious today?

"Why do I need more acupuncture?"

"There’s a three-stage treatment effectiveness."

"..."

"You were out of sorts yesterday, which is why Ni Kang didn’t mention it."

"..."

"If Miss Shen doesn’t wish to come out, I can have Ni Kang come here. His medical skills are exceptional. No need to worry about the location."

It was more than just not worrying about the location – right now, she was stuck here, unable to move, isn’t she just at Ni Kang’s mercy to be pricked with over thirty more needles?

Shen Hua felt utterly miserable, imagining that in a short while, quite a crowd might gather to watch her. If they witnessed her getting needled, wouldn’t she lose all her face and dignity?

With her rotten luck, why endure such torture?

After all, she wouldn’t live much longer.

"He needn’t trouble himself."

"That’s not up to me; he’s obsessed with medical practice. Moreover, Miss Shen’s condition is perilous; it’s better to follow the medical advice."

Shen Hua couldn’t stand listening any longer.

She could only implore with difficulty: "You pull me out."

Cui Yun frowned, seemingly sympathetic to her plight.

"If your mink gets scraped..."

"I! Don’t! Care!"

"But after all, this is your best-looking piece of mink."

Shen Hua felt she was being played.

She was furious, and just then, Cui Yun seemed to give in with a sigh of compromise.

"This is really awkward."

Cui Yun: "Close your eyes."

For some reason, he had a way of convincing Shen Hua. As soon as he spoke, the girl subconsciously closed her eyes.

She could smell the chilly scent emanating from the man, and suddenly, she felt a bit nervous. She involuntarily curled her hands into fists.

Bit by bit, he drew closer, his breath falling on Shen Hua’s delicate neck, so warm she shuddered.

The man supported her head with one hand, while the other hand traveled down her shoulder, pressing on her lower back.

"You—"

"Forgive my indiscretion."

The voice was as dispassionately cool as always, but the hand on her lower back exerted a bit more force. Coupled with that, Shen Hua could not control herself as she broke free from the constraints of the rockery, tumbling forward.

Into his... arms.
