Chapter 85: Chapter 85: You Don’t Need to Come So Often

Cui Yun, who was always perceptive, squinted upon hearing this. Yet, even if he figured something out, he was unwilling to spend more time explaining to Ni Kang.

There were still matters to attend to at the Ministry of Justice, and since Shen Hua was unharmed, he did not wish to stay here any longer.

"I will bring Yingwu back with me this trip."

These words were naturally meant for Shen Hua.

Shen Hua was taken aback and suddenly looked up. A beautiful smile finally spread across her face.

"Can I go out to the streets now?"

Cui Yun nodded nonchalantly.

"The person from last night has given up on capturing you, he will not touch you again. Yingwu doesn’t need to take care of you here anymore, and Miss Shen need not worry."

This was the most heartening thing Shen Hua had heard these past few days.

She even happily told Cui Yun about her plans: "Alright, I need to check if they’ve started on the coffin."

"I’ve been thinking about it all these days. I won’t feel at ease until I see it with my own eyes."

Cui Yun said nothing.

Shen Hua’s eyes sparkled like the majestic Milky Way: "After taking medicine at noon, I’ll head out. I’ll look into it for you too."

For some reason, Cui Yun intuitively averted his gaze: "Then I shall trouble Miss Shen."

If it weren’t for this matter that kept Shen Hua from going out, she might have even managed the arrangements for the mourning hall by herself.

If bought too early, those items will end up old, perhaps even out of style, but Shen Hua wants them custom-made! Once the satisfactory blueprints are provided from that side, a deposit will be made.

When her day comes, those made in a hurry to meet the deadline would still arrive on time.

A little delay also won’t matter, but it needs to be according to her preferences.

Shen Hua rarely walked Cui Yun out of the pear garden.

Upon exiting the yard, several sisters-in-law under the crooked-neck tree sizing him up collectively.

Sister-in-law Wang whispered to Sister-in-law Zhang while tugging her hand, "Is it him, is it him?"

Sister-in-law Zhang said, "It’s him, no mistake. Ah, standing together with Miss Shen, they really do look well-matched."

Shen Hua had a bad premonition.

She hurriedly urged Cui Yun: "Hurry up and go. See you next time."

The identity of a runaway daughter-in-law, which she had perfected these days. But should Cui Yun find out...

It was indeed discomforting.

Cui Yun, who disdained explaining things to Ni Kang, certainly wouldn’t bother speaking more with these unrelated women. Seeing Shen Hua’s ears turning red, the malice buried in his heart made him hesitate.

Seeing that he wasn’t moving, a panicked Shen Hua broke out in a cold sweat on her back, "Go, just go."

Cui Yun, seeing this, was even less in a hurry to leave.

"Hey."

At that moment, Sister-in-law Wang ran over, her plump body blocking Cui Yun’s path.

Yingwu, knowing full well that Cui Yun disliked strangers getting close, stepped forward.

"Aunt, do you need something? Our master still has official duties to attend to."

Look! The people attending to Shen Hua all referred to this young man as ’master’! Sister-in-law Wang was completely sure that Cui Yun and Shen Hua were husband and wife.

The man in front of her carried a noble aura, which made her somewhat fearful, yet she also remembered the scene of Shen Hua clutching her belly and walking with difficulty.

Sister-in-law Wang could not help but complain to Cui Yun.

"It is not easy for a woman to be pregnant, perhaps her temper might be quick, but as her husband, you should be understanding."

"Miss Shen is not an unreasonable girl. Living in these small alleys really is unworthy of her."

"You coming back and forth, yet not making her happy, seems to be a futile effort. Ladies need coaxing; she is your bedside companion, naturally the most intimate. Keeping a low profile at home from time to time can be seen as romantic and is not a difficult task."

"Take her back soon."

The air completely stagnated, the chilling wind made Shen Hua shiver all over.

Ni Kang, who had taken Shen Hua’s pulse, was well aware of whether she was pregnant or not, but upon hearing these words, he could not help but blame Cui Yun.

If Miss Shen’s status isn’t grand, the worst that could happen is to bring her into the household as a concubine. Why maltreat her as a concubine?

Ni Kang decided! Even if he had to walk, he wouldn’t share a carriage with Cui Yun.

He carried his medicine box, weighed down as he left.

Cui Yun looked at Shen Hua absurdly.

"Pregnant?"

Cui Yun found it inconceivable.

"Mine?"

Shen Hua’s ears weren’t the only things that turned red; her pale little face was now flushed, radiant like the morning glow.

She didn’t even dare to look at Cui Yun’s face.

Sister-in-law Wang’s face darkened upon hearing: "If it isn’t yours, whose is it? Your young man here speaks so unpleasantly."

"Miss Shen’s heart for you is as clear as the sun and the moon! Don’t let her down."

Listen to that! No wonder Shen Hua wouldn’t go back with him. They even said the son-in-law had died.

There was indeed a reason!

Shen Hua’s body stiffened. She couldn’t lose face. Just as she was about to flee in complete disarray, a man’s light laughter came from the air.

"Aunt is right in her reprimand. Indeed, I was inappropriate in this matter."

Shen Hua: !!!

Why did he admit it?

Seeing his good attitude, Sister-in-law Wang also softened her expression: "Although it’s not appropriate for me to say these words, it is ultimately for the wellbeing of you both. There was no other intention."

"As newlyweds, you spend too little time together and too much apart, Miss Shen is beautiful, aren’t you afraid that other young men might harbor intentions? You need to stay by her side. Cherish her."

Cui Yun responded indifferently, "It’s my lack of thoughtful consideration."

His posture now, no doubt, seemed to be accommodating to his wife, somewhat eerie and seemingly like the calm before the storm.

Sister-in-law Zhang approached with a smiling face.

"So will Miss Shen go with you this time?"

Shen Hua wanted to cry but had no tears: "No, no, no."

Cui Yun smiled wryly: "I cannot force her either."

Shen Hua had lost. Utterly defeated in her new identity.

But if she explained now, who would believe her? She might as well jump into a river and still wouldn’t clear her name.

Sister-in-law Wang: "Miss Shen, is that so?"

Shen Hua looked heavenward, exhausted: "Yes."

Sister-in-law Zhang: "That’s right, you previously said that you are the decision-maker at home."

Shen Hua continued to stare blankly at the sky, despondent.

"However, you can’t continue being willful just because your husband acquiesces to everything. A relationship cannot withstand such friction. You’re right to listen to your sister-in-law, don’t be upset anymore."

Shen Hua: "...I’ll consider it."

Her ears were red, her face was red, even her neck was red.

Numb.

She was alive, but already dead.

She had barely caught her breath from the suppression when she heard Cui Yun’s voice, flat and undetectable of any emotion.

"Listen to you? Obey your words."

Shen Hua resignedly accepted her fate: "Hmm."

"It’s but a farce, the Marquis needn’t take it to heart. I won’t be staying long in Shengjing anyway."

Her words were true.

Shen Hua was thinking about seeing Xie Xun and then returning to Fengzhou, to witness those people’s impoverished downfall.

Cui Yun flicked off something from his clothing, then smoothed out a wrinkle.

"A few months?"

Shen Hua paused, puzzled.

After a wary glance at Cui Yun, she quickly recovered.

Shen Hua contemplated for a moment, her lips quivering slightly: "...Two months?"

Cui Yun casually curved his lips. Yet, the smile did not reach his eyes, which were cold and even cruel.

"Then Miss Shen should take good care of the fetus. The first three months are the most unstable."

When will you ever stop, adding insult to injury, huh!

Recalling a few sister-in-laws from the alley, Shen Hua said dryly.

"Understood."

"No need to visit so frequently next time."

She was used to performing solo dramas. With Cui Yun present, she felt utterly at a loss.
