Chapter 129

Translator: Jasper Kadowaki | Editor: NovelMultiverse

Xing Yun’s face was pale, and as everyone exited the room, the servants who were waiting outside thought she had been reprimanded by the princess, but no one knew that Xing Yun had just gone through life and death .

Before Yu Linglong got married, she had fame . Now that everyone saw how Xing Yun offended her, everyone couldn’t help but be careful . No one wanted to stand out and test Yu Linglong’s temper .

Yu Linglong breathed a sigh of relief after all the obtrusive people had retreated . After being tormented for a long time, she had to fix the girl who wasn’t cautious, and she was really tired .

Sitting in front of the dressing table, she said: “Xuan Cao, Ling’er, come and change my clothes . ”

Although the phoenix crown and the dress were exquisite and beautiful in ancient times, they were too heavy . After wearing this heavy phoenix crown for a long time, she felt that her neck was sore .

Xuan Cao and Ling’er glanced at each other, seeming to hesitate: “This...”

It’s fine for the young lady to remove the veil by herself, but now that Lord Xu hadn’t returned to the room, the young lady wanted to change clothes and remove makeup, which was not in compliance with the rules .

Although it was not clear why Yu Linglong suddenly changed her mind and agreed to marry Lord Xu, Xuan Cao and Ling’er were still very happy for their young lady . After all, as a young lady, being able to marry Lord Xu as a princess was already a high climb . What’s more, Lord Xu was still such a young talent, with an extraordinary appearance . No matter how you look at it, he was a good person worthy of the young lady .

But now that the young lady said this, it seemed that she was still not warm to Lord Xu . She had already been married and had to act according to her own temperament . How can she be a princess?

Xuan Cao said carefully: “Princess, the prince hasn’t come back yet, do you want to...”

Yu Linglong frowned slightly, and said, “Don’t wait for him . Take this pile of things off my head . ”

If she waited for Lord Xu to come back, her neck would break from exhaustion!

Knowing Yu Linglong’s temper, Xuan Cao didn’t dare to persuade her, so she and Ling’er took off Yu Linglong’s outfit, and replaced her with her own Haiyun red embroidered peony jacket .

After all, she didn’t need to wear these painful things anymore . Yu Linglong took a deep breath and suddenly felt relaxed .

Turning around, she said again: “Sweep off the mess on the bed . ”

This time, Xuan Cao and Ling’er didn’t persuade them anymore . The lady’s own temperament was like this, so they shouldn’t be wasting their breath .

Leaning on the thick and soft bedding, Yu Linglong could finally rest .

Xuan Cao said to the side: “The princess hasn’t eaten for most of the day, are you hungry now?”

Only then did Yu Linglong realize that her stomach was empty . She had been tormented all day and even forgot to eat .

Xuan Cao took out a paper bag from her arms and smiled: “I heard early in the morning that you can’t eat anything when you get married on the first day . For your sake, in case you are hungry, we secretly brought some cakes . Princess, do you want to fill your stomach?”

Yu Linglong looked at the shriveled pastry in the paper bag with a bit of speechlessness . Should she just eat this?

This day was really tough .

Ling’er said to the side: “I also heard about it . The new bride has to wait for the husband to return to the bridal chamber before they can eat what is called—”

She tilted her head and thought for a long time, and said, “You have to eat some cakes and drink some harmony soup . Princess, you can eat something first . We don’t know when the prince will be back!”

Without even thinking about it, she knew that Lord Xu was married, and there must be a large group of people he had to socialize with . If Yu Linglong waited for him to come back to eat, she would pass out from hunger .

Yu Linglong sighed, ate something at random, and called Mama Liu to come over: “Have you arranged all the people we brought?”

Mama Liu said hurriedly: “Princess, please rest assured, the housekeepers in the house have already been arranged and servants brought by the princess will be treated the same as those in the palace . The roster will be registered tomorrow and they will officially enter the house . ”

Yu Linglong nodded and said, “From now on, I will leave the affairs of my farm, shop, and money to Xuan Cao . Ling’er will just follow me out . Mama Liu, you must work harder these days . Bring some little girls, pick two who are prudent, and bring them up after they have been trained . ”

Mama Liu said, “Yes, I will remember . ”

Yu Linglong took a sip of tea and said: “Xuan Cao, tomorrow, you and Mama Liu will personally bring me those things into the treasury . The accounts and pamphlets must be separate, and do not mix them with the accounts of the palace . ”

Xuan Cao was taken aback for a moment, the princess meant...

They were both married into the palace, but they still had separate accounts from the palace . The thoughts of the lady were really getting more and more incomprehensible .

Xuan Cao didn’t dare to ask more, so she had to answer .

Yu Linglong seldom thought about these trivial things . After the order, she felt a headache . She rubbed her temples, and when she was just about to close her eyes to refresh her mind, she heard footsteps outside the door, and then a maid’s voice: “The prince is back . ”

Xuan Cao and the others hurriedly saluted, and said respectfully, “Lord . ”

Lord Xu nodded slightly, but his gaze fell on Yu Linglong as soon as he entered the door . Seeing that Yu Linglong had changed into normal clothes and was lying on the bed halfway, he smiled and said, “You exhausted me today . ”

Yu Linglong grunted as a response, but she didn’t move . Her thick, fan-like eyelashes were hanging slightly, looking like she was thinking about something .

There was a faint smell of wine on his body, and his jade-like eyes were affected by the wine, and they looked particularly moist, like the finest gems, shining brightly .

After receiving the tea offered by Xuan Cao, he took a big sip, and Lord Xu said without looking back: “Someone come here and change my clothes . ”

The maid who was expelled by Yu Linglong saw Lord Xu coming back, and hurriedly waited at the door, but didn’t dare to come in . At this moment, when she heard Lord Xu’s words, she still hesitated to enter the door and did not dare to answer .

Yu Linglong said coldly: “Your maid named Xing Yun, who has just been punished by me, is not here . ”

Lord Xu didn’t care, and said casually: “If you don’t like her, just send her out . ”

She did not expect that he would say this . Yu Linglong was a little surprised . After looking at him, she said, “Xuan Cao, go and change the prince’s clothes . ”

Xuan Cao was called, and she couldn’t help but be startled . She hesitated and walked forward and changed Lord Xu’s clothes . Her hands couldn’t help but tremble slightly .

Lord Xu obviously didn’t notice Xuan Cao’s nervous movements, his eyes only looked at Yu Linglong, and the corners of his mouth and eyebrows were filled with a smile .

No matter how good Yu Linglong’s mental quality is, he is staring at her and her heart is a little upset at this moment . She frowned and said coldly, “Why are you smiling?”

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little bit cold, but Lord Xu didn’t seem to care, and he replied earnestly: “Linglong, I am very happy . I have never been so happy . ”

He answered like this, but it made Yu Linglong unable to respond, so she turned around and turned her back to him, simply ignoring him .

The maid outside arranged the food on the table and then stepped out cautiously .

Lord Xu waved his hand and signaled Xuan Cao and the others to go out . Xuan Cao and Ling’er glanced at Yu Linglong . Seeing that she didn’t mean to object, they left the room and closed the door .

There were only two people left in the room, Lord Xu and Yu Linglong . They were speechless for a moment .

The sky was dark outside the window, and inside the room, the red candles were burning silently, with the sound of the candles extinguishing from time to time .

Lord Xu walked to the bed and said, “Are you hungry? Get up and eat something first . ”

Yu Linglong had been hungry for a long time and was no longer polite . She turned over and got out of the bed and sat down at the dinner table .

Picking up the chopsticks, she took a dumpling and ate it .

After taking two bites, Yu Linglong couldn’t help but spit out the dumpling again, and said without thinking, “How come they are raw!?”

What kind of shabby place was Lord Xu’s Mansion? The dumplings weren’t even cooked . She was better off eating Ma Changgeng’s .

Seeing her frown, Lord Xu couldn’t help but smile: “They’re “Fertility Cakes . ” Naturally, they are raw . ”

Yu Linglong thought about it and understood the meaning of this sentence .

She was not a teenage girl, and she didn’t feel shy after hearing this, but Yu Linglong was a little angry when she saw the profound smile on his face .

“Don’t think about it, it doesn’t matter if it is raw or not!”

There was an expression of anger on her face . Under the shining of the red candle, she was a charming woman that he had never seen before . Lord Xu was slightly taken aback, seeming to be dumbfounded .

His big hand slowly stretched out, covering her . The faint fragrance of wine floated around, and the room in the winter night was inexplicably hotter .

“Linglong, my greatest wish in this life is to marry you . Today, I finally got what I wanted . ”

Hearing the lingering loving words in her ears made Yu Linglong a little wary . She suddenly retracted her hand and said in a deep voice, “Yu Lieyang, don’t forget what you said!”

The shining eyes dimmed, and the faint smile on Lord Xu’s face disappeared . He turned his head away, picked up the wine on the table, and drank it, with a depressive pain in his tone: “Don’t worry, I won’t forget . ”

Hearing what he said, Yu Linglong fell silent . It was not that she felt speechless, but that she always had a strange feeling . After today’s wedding, the relationship between her and Lord Xu did not seem to be what she had imagined . In that way, nothing had changed .

She was keenly aware that there was something different between her and him .

For example, the question she just asked was to ask him and also to remind herself not to forget her promise .

The room was overwhelmed with red, but between the two people in the room, there was a faint chill .

After a while, Lord Xu raised his hand, filled his own wine cup with wine, and refilled Yu Linglong’s with a bitter smile on his face: “This, should be our first drink together, it’s just...”

After a pause, he seemed to try to conceal his emotions, raised his eyes to Yu Linglong, and raised the wine cup to her: “Have a drink with me . ”

Seeing Lord Xu drink his glass of wine again, Yu Linglong silently picked up the cup and took a sip .

The sweet smell of osmanthus wine filled her mouth, and she suddenly realized that she hadn’t drunk any wine since the old lady passed away .

Everything on the table was raw and couldn’t be eaten at all . Yu Linglong simply drank the wine in her hand, filling her empty belly .

Although the sweet-scented osmanthus wine was not strong, she drank fiercely, and her face was red . Lord Xu looked at her deeply . His thin lips were pressed slightly as if he was preventing what he wanted to say .

With some difficulty withdrawing his gaze from her face, Lord Xu’s voice was calm after trying his best to calm down: “The Ministry of Justice did not catch Feng Xuanyuan today, you can rest assured . ”

Seeing him bring up this topic, Yu Linglong frowned slightly: “Did he get caught? What does it have to do with me?”

Lord Xu calmly looked at her and said, “I can see that the relationship between you and him is unusual . ”

Yu Linglong just thought it was a little funny . Was this kid jealous?

However, even if Lord Xu was jealous, she was not in the mood to pay any attention . He would misunderstand if he was willing to misunderstand, and she was too lazy to explain .

Without looking away, Yu Linglong said, “Do you really think that he was here today just to rob the sedan chair?”

Lord Xu’s face was slightly dark: “You mean...”

Yu Linglong smiled faintly but said nothing . Feng Xuanyuan was different from Lord Xu . He was an elusive person . He was surly and did whatever he wanted . He was indeed the leader of a cult . After fighting against Feng Xuanyuan several times, Yu Linglong faintly felt that Feng Xuanyuan was using her for more than just love .

This was also normal . After all, he was the leader of the Blue Lotus Cult . In his mind, the Blue Lotus Cult was most important .

Therefore, Feng Xuanyuan suddenly appeared in the capital today and intercepted her sedan chair . She was not confused like many women but calmly decided that Feng Xuanyuan’s move was not entirely directed at her .

If it wasn’t for her, it was for...

Recalling the entanglement between Feng Xuanyuan and Lord Xu, Yu Linglong easily came to this conclusion . Feng Xuanyuan probably wanted to use this extreme method to force Lord Xu to reveal his martial arts in public and expose his true identity .

Lord Xu had obviously thought of this too, his eyes gradually getting colder: “This was really convenient for Feng Xuanyuan today!”

In his mind, it was not difficult to figure out this section, but when Yu Linglong was involved, it was really difficult for him to remain calm, and this would allow Feng Xuanyuan to take the opportunity to take advantage of the loopholes .

Yu Linglong picked up the wine cup, took a sip with her eyes down, and said faintly: “Think about it, how should you conceal today’s affairs?”

A surprise flashed across Lord Xu’s eyes, and he whispered, “Don’t worry about me—”

Yu Linglong interrupted him somewhat unceremoniously: “I’m not worried about you, but since I married you, your affairs will inevitably affect me, so you should do it yourself so that you don’t hurt me . ”

The fire in Lord Xu’s eyes dimmed, and it took a while before he said: “I promised to protect you, and I will never break my promise . As long as I have my life, I will definitely protect you . ”

Yu Linglong looked away and didn’t seem to hear his words: “I don’t know why you want to hide your identity, but since you want to pretend, you have to do enough work . There are so many people in your house, it’s hard for them to be loyal . ”

This was already very obvious, and Lord Xu’s face became solemn, and he said: “I know . You also have to be more careful . ”

After a pause, he said in a deep voice, “I won’t keep a single one of the people who are sent out . ”

Yu Linglong stopped talking, got up and walked to the bed, and said without looking back, “I’m going to sleep, you can leave . ”
