Chapter 99 Sleep

Mrs. Liu, the eldest sister-in-law, stopped Shen Cangning continuing to tease the new sister-in-law, seeing Wei Changying in great embarrassment. Then she said to the second sister-in-law, Mrs. Duanmu, "The third younger sibling just married into our family, and we know that she is a little shy. But don't say it out, making her too embarrassed to taste the Flos Sophorae cake."

Wei Changying breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Mrs. Liu gratefully. Mrs. Liu then said seriously, rolling her eyes, "The third younger brother has never paid attention to food. It's the first time that he prepares the food for others. But if the person he cares about is embarrassed to have a taste because of your teasing, won't he be disappointed? You are his sisters or sisters-in-law, but you are inconsiderate and helpless!"

After her words finished, the room was filled with laughter.

Mrs. Duanmu and Shen Cangning both nodded solemnly and said one after another, "The first sister-in-law is right, and we will not say anything now!"

At this time, Wei Changying was shy to have a taste even more with some annoyance, "I think that the first sister-in-law loves me, but it turns out that you are the worst one!"

Mrs. Liu pretended to take the veil and pressed her eyes, sighing, "The words of the third younger sibling really hurt my heart. My words are sincere! How can I be bad?"

"Third sister-in-law, now have you known it?" Shen Cangning did not save the face of her first sister-in-law and revealed the truth, saying, "When the second sister-in-law just married into our family, she was ridiculed by the eldest sister and the second sister. It was also the first sister-in-law who saved her, and the second sister-in-law also thought that she was kind. However... Ha-ha!"

"The worst is the fourth sister!" Mrs. Liu narrowed her eyes and said, "This time I'm with your third sisters-in-law, but you're talking about the past. It seems that you want to see your three sisters-in-law embarrass each other. You are so bad, fourth sister! Tomorrow, I will tell our mother!"

Shen Cangning put out her tongue and said, "The third brother is back, and what am I afraid of? If the mother wants to hit me, I just hide behind the third brother! He will help me!"

Mrs. Duanmu suddenly smiled and said, "The fourth sister, you're too naive. As usual, it used to be normal that you hide behind the third brother. But now the third younger sibling is here, and the third brother cherishes her so much, so how can he take care of you? If you go to disturb them again, it's afraid that the mother will punish you at double prices!"

In the beginning, Wei Changying thought that it was nothing but casual chatting between her and her sisters-in-law, which could also activate the atmosphere. When she heard that, she felt a little worried. As expected, Shen Cangning became a little unhappy and said, "So what? My third brother and I are always siblings. If I come here, will the third sister-in-law stop me?"

When she spoke, she goggled at Wei Changying. It seemed that if Wei Changying said no, she would make her trouble. It was obvious that she was very pampered in the Shen Family; otherwise Mrs. Duanmu would not instigate her.

"The fourth sister worries too much. You are so lovely that I'm afraid I can't invite you here." Wei Changying raised her sleeves to cover her mouth and smiled gently. She couldn't help but have a look at Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Duanmu.

There were some surprises on Mrs. Liu's face, but then she appeared as if nothing had happened. Mrs. Duanmu's expression remained unchanged, and she still smiled.

Shen Cangning turned to rejoice and looked at Mrs. Duanmu arrogantly, saying, "Look, second sister-in-law, the third sister-in-law is not so stingy!"

Mrs. Duanmu was not embarrassed and smiled, saying, "Ah, I just talk casually. Why are you so serious?"

Since she said that she was teasing and now it was indeed the proper time to do so, so she couldn't blame her. Wei Changying snorted in her heart, thinking that there was still a long time and she didn't care about having a thorough discussion with Mrs. Duanmu on the day she just married, so she stopped answering.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit deserted, Mrs. Liu looked at the copper clock in the corner of the house and smiled, saying, "We have talked for a long time with the third younger sibling. Presumably the third younger brother has greeted the guests and will be back soon. Then, let’s go and let the third younger sibling clean up for a while. Tonight they will be very busy!”

Wei Changying was thinking that why Mrs. Duanmu, who married the Shen Family son of the concubine, could not wait to instigate Shen Cangning to deal with her when she just married into the family. After Mrs. Liu's words, the fading flush filled her face again. She said in flush, "What does the first sister-in-law say!"

Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "Okay, I won't say it. Anyway, we will not delay you anymore. Otherwise, when the third brother comes back to see that we haven't left yet, even if he will say nothing, he will scold us to be ignorant in his heart!"

Mrs. Duanmu smiled casually and echoed, "The first sister-in-law is right. When we are here, the third younger sibling is too embarrassed to eat some snacks. If we don't leave, isn't it annoying?"

Shen Cangning still wanted to be here, but the two sisters-in-law pulled her out, and she couldn't help but leave. She was pulled by Mrs. Duanmu but didn't forget to turn her head and said, "Shuyan would like to see you. Well, she has some headaches today. Tomorrow, if she is better, I’ll take her to see you!"

Wei Changying wondered who Shuyan was and why she wanted to see her. Mrs. Liu pushed Shen Cangning and explained to her at the same time, "Shuyan is a lineal daughter of the second younger sibling. She was the line fourth sister among the grandchildren."

So she was my niece? It seemed that she was young. Why would a young child want to see me? Wei Changying couldn't help but think, "Does Mrs. Duanmu deliberately incite Shen Cangning to be dissatisfied with me because of Shen Shuyan? What's going on?"

Seeing everyone gone, Mrs. Huang greeted the maidservants to clean and wash for Wei Changying. After removing the flower crown, hairpins and the wedding dress, Wei Changying felt relaxed. It was already summer, and the wedding dress was heavy and cumbersome. When it was released, her underwears were all wet. So she wanted to take a bath.

Mrs. Huang comforted, "I've sent someone to have hot water. First Miss has something to eat. The bath has already been prepared with hot water. It's just that First Miss hasn't eaten or drunk for a whole day. I'm afraid that you will be sick."

Wei Changying was too hungry, but at this moment she didn't want to eat anything. But persuaded by Mrs. Huang, she still ate two pieces of Flos Sophorae cake with the goat milk sent by Mrs. Liu. The cake was sweet and it melted in the mouth immediately. There was a light fragrance of Flos Sophorae between the lips and teeth. Wei Changying couldn't help but think of what had happened in Locust Court in early March when she said that she wanted to pick Flos Sophorae and made Mrs. Huang make cakes. So he remembered her words?

This craftsmanship of the cooks of Shen Family was inferior in making Flos Sophorae cakes than Mrs. Huang, and the taste was average. Did she feel they were sweet because Flos Sophorae in crude was also sweet?

Just now she said that she didn't want to eat, but now she couldn't help but have another piece.

Holding the cake in her fingers, watching the light-colored cake, she was slightly stunned and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up until Mrs. Huang deliberately coughed. Wei Changying suddenly sobered up and her face flushed!

Mrs. Huang pretended she found nothing and said, "First Miss, the bath is ready. Will First Miss go over now?"

"Ah? Okay!" Wei Changying blushed and put the cake back into the porcelain plate, saying, "Seeing this Flos Sophorae cake, I recall the ancient locust tree in the Ruiyu Hall. Granny, how about that locust tree now?"

Mrs. Huang's mouth twitched slightly, trying not to laugh out and saying seriously, "Since it has grown up for a hundred years, I think it is as well as before."

"Well, that's good!" Wei Changying stood up, pretending to just casually mention it, "Let's go."

After bathing, Qin'ge and Yan'ge dressed her for underwear. Mrs. Huang took out the corset embroidered with the patterns of Ruyi Jade and clouds and gestured Qin'ge to dress Wei Changying. Then she unfolded the garnet red dress embroidered with the patterns of babies and said with a smile, "Red First suits First Miss best."

Wei Changying was refreshed after taking a bath. She put on the soft dress and recalled the illustrations that Mrs. Huang taught her. Although she was too shy to listen carefully, she still remembered some pictures. Her body shivered suddenly, and she couldn't help but clench her fists.

Mrs. Huang saw that she was nervous. When Qin'ge finished dressing Wei Changying, she sent them out and comforted Wei Changying softly, "First Miss should not be afraid, the woman always suffers like this. I think your husband will not make you suffer. First Miss just bears with it now, and you will feel better two days later, huh?"

When looking at the illustrations, Wei Changying was too ashamed to open her eyes. Although Mrs. Huang was instructed to solve her doubts, Mrs. Huang explained for her in a genteel manner because she was a literate, decent servant. Wei Changying didn't pay attention, so she couldn't understand them totally, just remembering that it hurt afterward. Seeing Mrs. Huang coaxes her, she was a little bit embarrassed and angry, saying seriously, "It's just a pain! Granny can be relieved. I have suffered a lot when I practiced martial arts. What am I afraid of! Besides, dare he hurt me? Probably I will make him hurt!"

Although Mrs. Huang just served for her for only a few months, she had already figured out First Miss's unwilling and robust temperament. She knew that her previous puzzles were explained in vain. However, thinking that Shen Cangfeng must have been taught, and now she had no time to teach her, she just told her, "Tonight, First Miss should be obedient. What your husband asks you to do, you should do so."

Wei Changying was suddenly unhappy, "I don't want to listen to him. When does he not listen to me?"

"First Miss..." Seeing Mrs. Huang's face become serious as if she would have a lengthy discussion, Wei Changying sighed deeply and said perfunctorily, "Okay, okay."

Huh! I would never listen to him! If he dared not listen to me, I would punish him tonight!

With such thoughts, Wei Changying was sent out of the bathroom by Mrs. Huang and arrived at the inner room, but she saw that Qin'ge and others who had come out first were not there. She was stunned and prepared to call someone when a person behind her coughed lightly.

Mrs. Huang quickly turned around to salute, "Your Master."

"Granny can leave," Shen Cangfeng said softly.

Mrs. Huang obeyed, saluted, and said with a smile, "Yes!"

Wei Changying tightened her fist, turned her head, and saw that Shen Cangfeng also changed a daily robe. He removed the purple and gold crown he wore in the marriage ceremony and loosely bundled his hair with a dark silk ribbon. He was looking at her with a smile. Although he looked gentle, there was still sharpness between his eyebrows.

When he looked at her, Wei Changying panicked suddenly and then became annoyed, "Why should I be afraid of him!" She lifted her jaw and said, pretending to be calm, "What do you look?"

After all, they had got married. Shen Cangfeng was calmer at this moment. When he was asked by her, he didn't divert his eyes but said smilingly, "Are you tired? Do you want to eat something? I have asked them to prepare some dishes and wine."

After that, he came up to grab Wei Changying's arm.

Wei Changying was shocked and avoided instinctively. When Shen Cangfeng took a step, Wei Changying couldn't help but withdraw another step. Shen Cangfeng was a little stunned and raised his hand. As expected, Wei Changying withdrew another step subconsciously. Shen Cangfeng stood still and didn't chase anymore. He laughed and said, "Now that we have married, what are you afraid of?"

This man dared to say that I was afraid of him...

Wei Changying's face turned green, and she said seriously, "I'm not afraid of you. I just don't want to eat anymore."

Shen Cangfeng showed an expression of smile in his eyes and said, "Okay, then how about sleeping now?"

Sleep? Wei Changying subconsciously glanced at the bed. The bed curtain was divided into the two sides, revealing the cheerful garnet red quilt embroidered with auspicious and beautiful patterns. A pair of Ruyi Jades was placed beside the pillow.

Suddenly she felt a little dizzy, thinking about how to answer. But she felt her waist was tight, finding that Shen Cangfeng came to grab her waist when she was in a trance.

"What are you doing?" Wei Changying was shocked and unconsciously wanted to break free. But as soon as she put her hands on Shen Cangfeng's arms, she was held by his backhands. He bowed his head and gently kissed her hair behind her ear. Although the kiss was light, Wei Changying could see his action clearly from the dressing mirror diagonally opposite her. Wei Changying felt a buzz in her head, and almost all of her blood flowed upstream in a flash!

She was stunned for a long while and suddenly dropped her elbows and bumped back. Seeing that, Shen Cangfeng quickly grabbed her forearms and said helplessly, "We have already been a couple. Why are you afraid of me?"

This man dared to say that I was afraid!

And I was afraid of him!

Wei Changying gritted her teeth!

She struggled a few times and failed to break away, feeling that the solid chest of the man behind her gradually become hot. Shen Cangfeng's breath leaning on her ears was also slightly hurried. She thought quickly and came up with an idea. She pouted shyly and said, "Since we have been a couple, why do you grab me like that? Just let me go!"
