Chapter 186 Your brother kissed me!
Chapter 186 Your brother kissed me!
On the day of her return to her parents' home, Su Yaoyao woke up before dawn.
I wasn't woken up by excitement, but by the pain.
My back aches, my legs feel weak, and my whole body feels like it's falling apart.
She glared at the man sleeping soundly beside her, her face full of satiated desire, and felt a surge of anger.
"Xiao Chenyuan!"
The person opened their eyes, their gaze clear and bright, showing no signs of having just woken up.
"What's wrong?"
Su Yaoyao gritted her teeth.
"What's wrong? Today is my homecoming! How can I go out like this!"
Xiao Chenyuan looked at her, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"Shall I rub it for you?"
"Need not!"
Su Yaoyao threw off the covers to get out of bed, but her legs went weak and she almost knelt on the ground.
Xiao Chenyuan reacted quickly and pulled her back.
"Why are you trying to be tough?"
Su Yaoyao leaned against him, on the verge of tears.
This person is really...
"It's all your fault!" she punched him.
Xiao Chenyuan grasped her fist and kissed it.
"Yeah, you're such a weirdo." He admitted his mistake quickly. "Go easy on me tonight."
Su Yaoyao: "..."
Tonight too?!
The ox is plowing with increasing vigor, it's going to ruin the land!
---
The carriage rumbled towards the Grand Tutor's residence.
Su Yaoyao leaned against Xiao Chenyuan's chest, idly playing with the ends of his hair.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Chenyuan noticed that his wife's mood was a bit off.
"I'm a little scared."
"What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid my grandmother will cry," Su Yaoyao said honestly. "When she cries, I feel like crying too."
Xiao Chenyuan smiled and leaned down to kiss her forehead.
"Then I'll cry with you."
Su Yaoyao was amused by him.
"What does Your Highness look like when you cry? I want to see."
Xiao Chenyuan raised an eyebrow.
"Then Yaoyao needs to practice more..."
"Hmm? What are we practicing?"
"physical strength……"
"Xiao Chenyuan, you've really gone too far... I'm scared of you..."
------
The Grand Tutor's residence is decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers today.
A large group of people stood at the entrance; at first glance, they were all members of the Jiang family.
As soon as Su Yaoyao stepped off the carriage, she saw Old Madam Jiang standing at the front, her eyes already red.
"Grandmother!" She walked over quickly.
Old Madam Jiang hugged her tightly, and tears streamed down her face.
"Good child...you've lost weight...are the chefs at the Crown Prince's Palace incompetent?"
Su Yaoyao was both amused and exasperated.
"Grandma, I haven't lost weight, really."
Old Madam Jiang didn't believe it and looked her up and down.
"Your chin is so sharp now!"
Xiao Chenyuan stood silently to the side, unsure whether he should say it—that it was probably because he was tired.
Grand Tutor Jiang stepped forward and coughed lightly.
"Alright, alright, let's go inside and talk."
The old lady then let go of Su Yaoyao's hand and pulled her inside.
Xiao Chenyuan followed behind, and was patted on the shoulder by Grand Tutor Jiang.
"Your Highness, how have you been these past few days?"
Xiao Chenyuan recalled the three days of "detoxification" without changing his expression.
"Thanks to the Grand Tutor, all is well."
Grand Tutor Jiang nodded, his gaze sweeping over the man's waist.
"That's good. Young man, you should also take care of your health."
Xiao Chenyuan: "..."
Grand Tutor, what's the meaning behind that look?
---
Upon entering the main hall, another round of greetings ensued.
Aunt held Su Yaoyao's hand, asking her how she was doing.
Jiang Wan Ning squeezed to the side, her eyes sparkling.
"Cousin, cousin! You looked so beautiful on your wedding day!"
Su Yaoyao smiled and patted her head.
"You'll be even more beautiful when you get married."
Jiang Wan Ning blushed.
"I...I won't..."
Jiang Huaijin ran over holding an empty red envelope, calling out in her childish voice,
"Brother-in-law! My mother took the red envelope you gave me last time! Give me another one!"
Xiao Chenyuan looked down at him.
"Your mother took it?"
Jiang Huaijin nodded, looking aggrieved.
Xiao Chenyuan took out a new red envelope from his sleeve and handed it to him.
"Hide it well."
Jiang Huaijin's eyes lit up, and he stuffed the red envelope into his arms, covering it tightly.
He ran up to Jiang Wan Ning, clutching the red envelope, and showed it off.
"Sister, look! It was given to me by my brother-in-law, the Crown Prince!"
Jiang Wan Ning pouted.
"Brother-in-law, I want one too."
Xiao Chenyuan took out another one and handed it to her.
Jiang Wan Ning smiled, her eyes crinkling.
"Thank you, Brother-in-law!"
Jiang Jingchen sat in a chair next to him, his face pale, looking like he had just recovered from a serious illness.
Su Yaoyao walked over and asked in a low voice.
"Cousin, you're 'awake'?"
Jiang Jingchen coughed lightly.
"His Highness says you can wake up now."
Su Yaoyao suppressed a laugh.
"That's good, that's good. We can't afford to faint again."
Jiang Jingchen glanced at her meaningfully.
"How have you been these past few days, cousin?"
Su Yaoyao blushed.
"Okay, that's good."
Jiang Jingchen nodded.
"That's good. Your Highness... looks quite well."
Su Yaoyao almost burst out laughing when she recalled how someone came out supporting their back.
"It's alright, it's alright."
---
In the main hall, Grand Tutor Jiang and Xiao Chenyuan were discussing matters of the court, while Old Madam Jiang held Su Yaoyao's hand, asking her all sorts of questions.
"Is His Highness good to you?"
"it is good."
"Have any people in the palace made things difficult for you?"
"no."
"Are you eating well? Are you sleeping well? Is anyone bullying you?"
Su Yaoyao answered them one by one, feeling a warm glow in her heart.
This is what home feels like.
Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.
"Make way! Make way! I'm coming!"
A fiery red figure rushed in.
Anar was panting heavily, her hair was askew, and she looked around as soon as she entered the room.
"Where's my sister? Where is she?"
Su Yaoyao stood up.
"Here it is."
Anar rushed over and hugged her tightly.
"Little sister! I've missed you so much!"
Su Yaoyao was choked so tightly she could hardly breathe.
Here we go again.
"Relax, loosen your grip..."
Anar then loosened his grip and looked her up and down.
"You look great!" She winked. "It seems His Highness the Crown Prince is taking very good care of you?"
Su Yaoyao blushed.
"What are you saying!"
Anar chuckled.
Her gaze shifted and landed on Su Qingrun.
Su Qingrun was holding a teacup, pretending not to see her.
Anar's eyes lit up, and she leaned closer.
"The one surnamed Su!"
Su Qingrun's hand trembled, and she almost spilled the tea.
"...Why are you here?"
Anar was perfectly justified.
"My sister is returning to her parents' home, of course I have to come!"
Su Qingrun remained expressionless.
"Yaoyao is my younger sister."
"That's my sister too!"
The two stared at each other, wide-eyed.
Seeing this scene, Old Madam Jiang couldn't stop smiling.
"This girl is interesting."
Grand Tutor Jiang also smiled and said in a low voice, "Finally, someone has disciplined Qingrun."
Su Yaoyao looked at her brother's lifeless face and couldn't help but laugh.
She leaned closer and whispered to Anar.
"How's it going between you and my brother?"
Anar's eyes lit up, and she pulled her to a corner.
"Little sister!" she whispered, her face mysterious. "I have a secret to tell you!"
Su Yaoyao became interested.
"What secret?"
Anar leaned close to her ear, her voice brimming with barely suppressed smugness.
"Your brother kissed me!"
"ah?!!!"
Su Yaoyao's voice was so loud that everyone in the room looked over.
She turned her head sharply and looked at Su Qingrun sitting to the side.
Su Qingrun's cold face was now looking elsewhere, her ears so red they could bleed.
Su Yaoyao glanced at Anar's smug expression and her mind raced.
"When did this happen? What happened? What's wrong with you two...?"
Anar was beaming with pride.
"Just a few days ago!"
A few days ago?
She recalled how her brother had avoided Anar; it didn't seem like he was close to her.
"What happened? Tell me in detail!"
