Chapter 97: Chapter 97: It Was Me, I Smashed It! (Extra Update)

The room was warmed by a charcoal fire, as cozy as spring, with a corner of the window slightly propped open for ventilation. The moonlight shone through, casting a room full of clear frost.

The bed curtains swayed gently with the wind, and Shen Hua slept restlessly.

But once her eyes opened, it was back to Marquis Yangling Mansion.

Shen Hua had already gotten used to it.

"So, you are Brother Bai’s new bride? Pfft, you’re nothing special to look at."

In the Octagonal Pavilion, two noble ladies sat; one aggressively dressed in dazzling clothes, her jewelry clinking loudly, obviously looking for trouble.

The other had her long hair pinned up, her demeanor gentle and graceful. She wore a bright-red paneled skirt, a color that suited her well.

It was soon after her marriage, and her face held an undeniable spring glow. Yet under Princess You Ning’s cynicisms, she couldn’t help but lose her color.

Is she the little ghost’s mama?

The last time the plot moved forward to Qiao Si’s pregnancy, obviously it had advanced prematurely.

Shen Hua drifted around, looking left and right.

Princess You Ning condescendingly said, "I merely returned to my old home for a visit, and in the span of a few months, you married him? What charms did you use!"

"With Cui family’s legitimate son having such a promising future, how do you, with your low status, match him?"

It had only been three months since Qiao Si entered the household, but her husband was considerate, the elders were kind, and her mother-in-law had not imposed a single rule on her. The servants below were all attentive.

Her life was indeed perfect.

However, facing the high and mighty Princess You Ning, she felt somewhat intimidated.

Because everything Princess You Ning said was true.

Cui Bai, despite having the option of many noble women from Shengjing, chose her—the least qualified.

Qiao Si gripped her handkerchief tightly, not daring to say another word, allowing the humiliation.

Princess You Ning pointed at Qiao Si, "Just with that face of yours?

Shen Hua rolled her eyes.

So what if it’s just the face, she’s beautiful! Is it Qiao Si’s fault to be attractive?

She’s having the same difficulties as Qiao Si!

In the Marquis Yangling Mansion, Princess You Ning scorned the Young Madam of the mansion, one would think this place belonged to the princess herself!

Shen Hua sat down beside Qiao Si.

Princess You Ning: "He was supposed to marry me, but you beat me to it!"

Shen Hua: You really should reflect on yourself. How come you lack even this bit of capability! Couldn’t keep a man.

Yet, Shen Hua couldn’t do anything but turn to look at Qiao Si.

Qiao Si, from head to toe was delicate, even the jade bracelet in her hand was rare blood jade.

Gentle and ingrained with bone, like coming out of a painting.

The embroidery on her skirt, probably stitched by an old embroiderer with over twenty years of experience. Looking at the needlework and fabric, it seemed like a reward from the palace.

It was clear that Cui Bai cherished this bride a lot.

Qiao Si was so anxious that she nearly cried. But she also feared causing trouble for the Marquis Mansion and jeopardizing Cui Bai’s future.

Just then, a voice sounded like a heavenly melody.

"I thought some cur was barking in the mansion, turns out it’s the esteemed princess."

Outside the Octagonal Pavilion, stood a youth clad in brocade, unknown when he appeared.

Qiao Si abruptly stood up, and deeply exhaled a breath of relief.

Cui Yun: "Ji Qing, take sister-in-law back."

"Yes."

Ji Qing respectfully stepped forward: "Young Madam, you’ve had a fright, this way, please."

Seeing this, how could Princess You Ning stand it?

She, personally titled by Empress Dowager as a princess, brought up in the palace since childhood, even other princesses had to call her elder sister.

"Cui Yun! We’ve known each other since childhood, are you protecting her?"

After seeing Qiao Si move away, Cui Yun sneered coldly.

"She is a member of the Cui Family, my brother’s official wife."

The youth’s expression was sharp, his words sparing no feelings.

"Princess, don’t overstep."

"You keep accusing my sister-in-law of usurping, so please enlighten me: is there any record of the lucky day picked for our marriage? Any asking of names? Any date set for the wedding? You and my brother have no engagement contract! And I fear, you’ve forgotten that my brother never had any romantic interest in you. He avoids you at all costs, yet you, totally oblivious."

Princess You Ning was astonished: "How dare you speak so impudently to me!"

At that time, Cui Yun held no official position, and was merely a young master from the Marquis Mansion.

"The Commandery Princess insults my sister-in-law, yet you expect me to treat you with courtesy?"

Wow, wow. Shen Hua watched with great interest.

Cui Yun’s aura was formidable!

"Confront her, crush her."

"A girl who rushes forward like a fierce demon, it’s rightly so that your brother does not fancy her."

Cui Yun naturally could not hear what Shen Hua said, but the closeness of Shen Hua brought a breeze, carrying a faint fragrance to his nose.

It seemed... like a medicinal scent.

Shen Hua gesticulated wildly: "So arrogant, if it wasn’t for you rushing over, the little ghost’s Mama would have cried."

Her hand moved, stirring up a gust of wind, making Cui Yun’s clothes flutter.

Shen Hua blinked in surprise, looking at her own hand.

The man’s features were all marked by cold indifference.

Cui Bai was not in the mansion, Cui Yang and Cui Xuan had also left the house.

"Sister-in-law is kind-hearted and does not wish to disturb our grandparents. Does the Commandery Princess think there is no one in Marquis Yangling Mansion now?"

Cui Yun’s attitude was very tough.

"As you are a descendant of a loyal family, the official family cherishes you greatly, but my Cui Mansion is also firm and distinguished. Our ancestors were founding meritorious servants. We even have a temple with an iron deed bestowed by the late Emperor."

Shen Hua kept staring at her hand, she floated to the stone table and reached for a teacup but still grasped nothing.

Shen Hua took a step back, and waved her hand towards that direction.

The next instant, the teacup crashed heavily to the ground.

’Clap’, as if to show off Cui Yun’s authority.

Princess You Ning: ???

No one touched the teacup, how did it smash near her feet?

Cui Yun also paused.

The scent of medicine in the air was subtle, and he looked intently in one direction.

But there was nothing there.

Shen Hua almost thought that Cui Yun had seen her.

"It was me, it was me, I did it!"

But Cui Yun withdrew his gaze, and instructed: "Let the gatekeeper be more vigilant, not to let just anyone in, lest they blemish our family’s eyes."

The expression on Princess You Ning’s face could not be more somber.

After returning to the Imperial Palace from her old home, she was infuriated with no outlet to vent.

The Empress Dowager felt sorry for her, but still warned.

—"Cui Bai doesn’t want you, as a Commandery Princess why are you so fixated on him? You should give up."

—"I will find a good match for you. As for anything else, better not to think about it. If you persist stubbornly, don’t blame me for revoking your title as Commandery Princess!"

But she was reluctant.

Especially after seeing Qiao Si.

Cui Yun: "Ji Xin, please ask the Commandery Princess to leave."

"Very well!"

Princess You Ning stormed off in a huff. She thought that at least Cui Yun would come forward to stop her, but when she left Marquis Yangling Mansion, Cui Yun did not catch up.

He really did not give her any face!

Even as she just crossed the doorstep—

’Bang’, the gates of Marquis Yangling Mansion shut.

Just like that, she couldn’t even go to the Empress Dowager to complain.

Princess You Ning: ...furious to madness.

The instigator, Shen Hua, retracted her noble hand: "Hah."

She looked like a maliciously triumphant villain, lifting her chin and saying fiercely.

"The little ghost’s Mama looks like that, and you look like this. I advise you not to seek trouble for yourself, even if you change heads, Eldest Young Master Cui wouldn’t spare you another glance."
