Chapter 307: Chapter 306: The bird’s nest is still hot, eat it while it’s hot.

Yan Wanqing and the Marchioness exchanged pleasantries, and soon Wanqing moved into her own small courtyard.

The courtyard had everything essential, its only flaw being its size.

It was so small that it was not even a quarter the size of her previous one.

Unfortunately, Yan Lingzhen and Shen Shuyun both refused to leave Yan Wanqing, and together with Cong Ge, four people living in one courtyard felt rather cramped.

However, everyone knew that they would not stay in the courtyard for long, so they weren’t too disheartened psychologically.

As soon as they arrived at the Northern Border, Yan Lingzhen could not hold back her desire to research the poisonous insect poison.

Early in the morning before it was light, she dashed out of the residence.

Where exactly she went, Yan Wanqing did not know.

But Wanqing had always been competent and quick-witted, so she wasn’t too worried.

The only thing that gave her headaches was Shen Shuyun.

"You’ve reached the age of maturity."

"Yes," Shen Shuyun quickly nodded when Yan Wanqing spoke to her.

Yan Wanqing looked at her clinging to her arm like an octopus: "This isn’t very appropriate, is it?"

"Ah... sorry," Shen Shuyun’s face turned red and she quickly let go.

Yan Wanqing sighed, blocked at the entrance of the latrine: "Miss Shen, I feel really pressured by this."

Shen Shuyun whined pitifully, "Could we use a rope? I always feel like someone is going to kill me."

Ever since her narrow escape from the assassin, Shen Shuyun had been this timid.

Originally, when she had fished this person out of the river, she hadn’t had any good results.

But now, like a tadpole searching for its mother, whether dead or alive, she refused to leave Yan Wanqing’s side.

Leaving aside Wanqing herself, even Cong Ge who watched from the side felt a degree of shock.

Yan Wanqing knew that if she didn’t tie herself with Shen today, she might not be able to decompress, so with a hardened heart, she took off her belt and handed it to Shen Shuyun: "You insisted on staying here; later, don’t complain about its ugliness."

She, Yan Wanqing, was no grain-substituting fairy. Being attractive was her own skill, and that didn’t mean she lacked any unpleasant attributes.

Shen Shuyun nodded and gripped the belt in her hands like a treasure.

Separated by a door, the two women were tightly bound together by a belt.

When Wanqing came out feeling relaxed, she could tell from Shen Shuyun’s eyes that her gaze was somewhat eerie.

She glanced at Shen Shuyun: "Anything wrong?"

Shen Shuyun looked embarrassed and shook her head, handing the belt back.

Yan Wanqing took it graciously, properly tying the belt, and stretched lazily as she walked out.

She felt refreshed after using the latrine.

Today Huai Yu had to handle some matters, so he didn’t have time to visit Yan Wanqing. She didn’t have much to do for a while, so she fed the fish in the courtyard and then went back to sleep.

When she woke up, it was already very late, and she didn’t know where Shen Shuyun had gone.

She rubbed her eyes.

Then she noticed a maid entering from outside the door.

"You just come in and sleep, sleep, sleep; today has been so busy, and I still have to come here to take care of such a lazy person."

The maid muttered under her breath.

She thought Wanqing wouldn’t hear, but Wanqing, with her profound inner strength, had already heard the maid’s complaints at the door.

So, it seemed in the Marquis Residence, she had already become known as a lazy person.

"It’s really beyond me why Mrs. Liu got the wrong idea, catering to such a lazybones who has already committed such outrageously disobedient deeds without being thankful enough to arrest her and send her to the government office, but still treated to such good food," the maid grumbled to herself, more upset as she thought about it; she started devouring the delicacies on the plate.

"I’ll eat it all up; hmph, since the lazybones is sleeping!"

The maidservant snorted coldly, carelessly stirring in the bird’s nest soup. After eating two spoonfuls and finding it distasteful, she still felt a sense of injustice and spit into the bowl several times.

"That’s more like it."

She had to see for herself this Commandery Princess Anping from the Capital City, who was rumored to be so extraordinary.

Thinking this, she lifted the curtain and came directly face-to-face with Yan Wanqing’s peach blossom eyes, which held a mockingly amused expression.

"Ah—" the maidservant couldn’t help but scream.

"Why are you screaming?" Yan Wanqing arched an eyebrow.

The maidservant’s forehead was covered in cold sweat from nervousness. "It’s nothing, I just didn’t realize that the Commandery Princess had already awakened."

"What’s that in your hand?" Yan Wanqing asked, arching an eyebrow.

The maidservant quickly placed the meal box on the table. "It’s a specialty from the Northern Border, specially sent by Lady Liu to comfort the princess after your long journey."

Lady Liu is thoughtful, I appreciate the gesture but I don’t really like these kinds of foods. How about I give them to you instead?" Yan Wanqing opened the meal box and took out the bird’s nest. "The bird’s nest soup is still warm, you might as well eat it while it’s hot."

Having said this, she just watched the maidservant.

She really didn’t understand why the maidservants of the Marquis Residence harbored such great malice towards her.

It was utterly ridiculous.

Just because she occupied the position of the Young Marquis’s wife in the Northern Border?

Seeing the bowl of bird’s nest, the maidservant’s face turned alternately red and white. "This was specially reserved for you by Lady Liu, I am not worthy to eat it."

Even though it was her own saliva in there, the thought of actually eating it was somewhat nauseating.

Yet Yan Wanqing smiled and said, "I really can’t eat any more, but we shouldn’t waste Lady Liu’s kind intentions. Consider it helping me by having it."

This was the second time Yan Wanqing spoke such words. The maidservant knew that refusing again might seen as ingratitude.

She could only carry the bird’s nest, suppressing her disgust, and forced herself to swallow it bite by bite.

Actually, she was not from Lady Liu’s yard but from Wu Zhen’s yard.

She made these remarks hoping to set Yan Wanqing against the second wife’s faction.

The maidservant hastily finished a bowl, feeling turmoil in her stomach.

"Thank you, Commandery Princess. I’ve finished it," she said.

"There are also these pastries, have some more," Yan Wanqing stated with a wry, unsmiling face.

The maidservant realized by then that probably some of the words she had said earlier at the door were overheard by Yan Wanqing.

Having no choice, the maidservant kept eating until she came out of the small courtyard, stuffed to the brim.

Reaching the entrance of the courtyard, she leaned against the wall and vomited outright.

This Commandery Princess from the Capital City was indeed different.

A few words from her had driven the maidservant to this state.

A hint of wariness flashed in the maidservant’s eyes as she clutched her stomach and moved forward, "I must hurry and speak to the lady about this person."

We must not be caught off guard.

Just as the maidservant left, Yan Wanqing stood at the entrance of the courtyard, her arms folded as she watched the maidservant’s staggering steps, shaking her head helplessly, "If no one offends me, I do not offend anyone. Alas, why do they insist on provoking me?"

After waking up, she had no idea where Shen Shuyun had gone.

In a place so unfamiliar, she was always so timid.

Yan Wanqing decided to just leave the courtyard and begin searching for her.

She had barely started walking when she heard a woman’s scream from a nearby courtyard.

Yan Wanqing’s peach blossom eyes flickered coldly upon hearing it.

It was Shen Shuyun’s voice.
