Chapter 144: Chapter 144 Is Miss Shen Not Sleepy Now?

The affairs of the school, no matter how busy Cui Yun is, someone would come to report to him. He has complete mastery of the events that have happened these past days.

The words "hardworking" have no connection with Shen Hua.

Yet, the girl fancied herself as diligent. Indeed, she lived up to the ’unruly’ label gifted by the people of Fengzhou.

That day, he intentionally used this for discipline, yet Shen Hua, relying on her skills, turned this place into a playground. Truly unique indeed.

Such a girl, if it were in earlier years...

Thus, his tolerance for her far exceeded that of others.

Cui Yun indifferently withdrew his gaze and took out the usual books taught by the teacher, flipping through a few pages.

Was this ignoring her?

Shen Hua: "Ji Xin is from your courtyard, don’t you believe it if you ask her?"

These past few days, whenever Shen Hua came here, Ji Xin was always with her. Regarding this matter, she did not speak about it, but she certainly felt uncomfortable about it.

As a Marquis, why should Cui Yun put so much effort into her?

She was defiant of discipline, which Cui Yun certainly knew. To say that he was fulfilling her wishes was false, more likely he was punishing her. Yet, he was also worried about her causing disturbances that could interrupt the little ghost’s studies. Therefore, he had Ji Xin come to keep an eye on her.

It was also because she did not disrupt the school, thus all was harmonious.

This could also explain why yesterday when she went to watch a play, Ji Xin did not rush to ask her to study but instead let her do as she pleased.

Clearly, this was Cui Yun’s intention.

Just the Shen Family alone, has internal secrets as numerous as cow hair, let alone the Marquis Yangling Mansion.

These past few days, Shen Hua often heard Cui Xuan mention how Cui Yun was such and such, if she was a person without schemes at heart, she probably couldn’t have reached her current position.

The current Cui Yun... was far from the simple person she imagined.

He was no longer that young man who held Xue Tuan, showing signs of happiness and anger.

Seeing Cui Yun still silent, Shen Hua turned her head: "Ji Xin, I ask you."

"These days, whenever I wake up and have breakfast, I don’t hesitate to hurry to this place, right or not?"

Ji Xin respectfully said: "Right."

"Then I ask you again, did I complete all the homework that the teacher assigned these days?"

Ji Xin paused for a few seconds: "The teacher did not assign any homework to Miss Shen."

After all, Shen Hua always managed to wake up just as the teacher was leaving.

The girl nodded with a serious expression: "Then it means the teacher is satisfied with my performance, my understanding is already good enough without the teacher needing to trouble himself."

She really always had her reasons.

Cui Yun finally reacted, his tone was calm but sparse, clearly not wanting to hear more of her reasoning: "Miss Shen’s words make sense."

Shen Hua was stunned for a moment.

Is... is that so.

The girl maintained her composure, cleared her throat, and hurriedly sat up. As she moved, the heavy blanket slid down heavily. The girl reached out to grab it, but the blanket was too heavy, and she failed to catch it.

The schoolhouse was heated by a few charcoal fires, but with the windows only half-open, the cold wind blowing in still made it chilly. She shivered.

Shen Hua parted her lips, but before she could utter a sound, she heard Cui Rong in agitation.

"Alright, stop calling. I’m coming now."

Cui Rong clattered closer, her face showing the frustration of dealing with a troublesome person. She tried to lift the heavy blanket, but indeed failed to move it.

The girl raised her hand and blew on it, her sleeve sliding down a few inches, revealing a segment of her pale, delicate wrist, which didn’t look too healthy.

She sat cross-legged, her posture not very elegant, but her demeanor conveyed perplexity.

"I didn’t call you."

The little ghost really was conscientious.

Cui Rong: "???"

Shen Hua seemed to find it amusing: "Commandery Princess, there’s no need to be like this, I’m already a coming-of-age girl, I certainly won’t compete with you for a few pieces of cake."

"A few bites of food, would I really be a shameful thief?"

Her words were indeed straightforward.

You are!

Isn’t that just what you are!

Cui Rong felt something was off and she asked suspiciously: "Are you really not wanting it?"

"Don’t want it, and don’t force it on me."

"No, you have to take it. You weren’t like this before. I know it, it must be because my Second Uncle is here. You are worried about leaving a bad impression, so you did it on purpose."

Shen Hua: "Even if I did want it, you wouldn’t give it to me, so why bother."

"Who said I wouldn’t give it. Don’t deliberately disparage me as stingy in front of my second uncle."

Shen Hua: ...

Her eyes gleamed: "Fine, I want the pastry in the middle, bring it over."

As she spoke, she gazed at Cui Yun with a smile: "If the Commandery Princess insists on giving it to me, I can’t refuse and must accept."

Cui Rong felt, yet again, that she had been tricked by Shen Hua.

She stomped her feet in anger: "Nonsense! I’m not giving it to you."

The girl’s smugness caused Cui Yun’s expression to loosen slightly, his eyes flickered, and his expression softened considerably, he slightly bent down and picked up the wool blanket.

"Since you promised, you cannot go back on your word."

This was directed at Cui Rong.

He casually shook the wool blanket and then threw it over Shen Hua.

Shen Hua hummed with pleasure.

Cui Rong realized that she was no longer the big darling of her second uncle.

Cui Yun did not delay further, nor did he want to hear them argue anymore, he went to the front to sit down and teach Cui Rong.

The man’s voice was very pleasant, cold and stern.

Shen Hua leaned back lazily, opening the snacks and eating them bit by bit.

The taste was better than expected, soft, sticky, and sweet. Indeed suited her palate.

Cui Rong glanced over, no longer wanting to tattle.

Cui Yun did not expect Shen Hua to still be restless. He looked deeply at the fearless girl.

"Miss Shen isn’t tired now?"

Shen Hua pouted her lips.

"I admit I’ve indulged in a bit of oversleeping."

She wanted to say more, but Cui Yun was quicker.

"What of it, Miss Shen has a good attitude."

Cui Yun spoke evenly, Shen Hua genuinely couldn’t detect even a hint of irony in his voice.

Shen Hua: ... "Yes."

The man lifted his eyelids, then looked at the huge and luxurious concubine’s couch: "Seeing this, it seems like you are intending to attend classes for a long time."

Shen Hua: "Yes."

As she spoke, she remembered the matter of the embroidery, once again became frazzled and furrowed her brows, the girl suggested: "Well, not exactly."

"I’m just the kind of person lacking in patience."

"These days have been busy as well, I’m afraid I won’t be able to spare much time to come over."

Cui Rong’s eyes rolled as if they were about to roll to the heavens.

The girl’s delicate fingertips glided over the beautifully carved concubine’s couch and caressed it finely. She spoke out: "I need to go out tomorrow."

"You are skipping class again!" Cui Rong hopped with frustration.

"Day after tomorrow is also uncertain."

"And you dare to mention it in front of your second uncle, wait to be scolded!"

Her eyes eagerly watched Cui Yun, waiting for his unexpected intervention and obstruction.

But, what she got was just a single phrase.

"Yes."

Cui Yun rarely put down the book in his hands, he clearly understood the frustration enveloped in the girl’s tone: "Allowing you to stay in the Marquis Mansion isn’t to restrict your movements, I will speak to the doorman, henceforth there should be no need to report to anyone else when you leave the mansion."

The girl struggled: "It’s truly a pity; I’m afraid it might be a long while before I can come here for classes again."

As she spoke, she sat upright, just like that hoping and looking at Cui Yun.

Cui Yun: ...

Should he play along?

Cui Yun’s head ached even more.

He suppressed all emotions: "It’s also unavoidable."

Shen Hua knew it. Cui Yun was very good at this!

That last time in the alley, in front of Sister-in-law Zhang, when he admitted his identity, she knew it!

She stretched her hands satisfied: "Who’s to say otherwise."
