Yun Shushu was like a caught cat, and her face instantly turned red with embarrassment.

She opened her mouth to explain, but swallowed the words back.

Qin Honghe looked at her quietly, with a hint of pampering and helplessness in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

In order to hide her inner panic, Yun Shushu coughed lightly, turned around and walked to the bookcase, pretending to be busy looking for books.

She had her back to Qin Honghe, and was so nervous that her fingers unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes.

She paced back and forth in front of the bookcase, absentmindedly glancing at the books on the shelves, trying to make herself look focused on finding a book.

However, when she accidentally saw the new titles on the bookshelf, her eyes widened.

"The Cold-Faced General's Little Wife", "The Overbearing Prince Falls in Love with Me", "The Cold-Faced Guard of the Arrogant Princess"......

Oh my god, these books...

Yun Shushu's face turned even redder. It was not difficult for her to guess that these books were prepared by Qin Honghe for her. How did he know that she liked to read picture books?

She was extremely embarrassed, yet pleasantly surprised by his gentle and thoughtful behavior.

Yun Shushu was both shy and happy. She didn't dare look back at Qin Honghe, but her heart was already in a mess.

Yun Shushu was holding a picture book titled "The Prideful Princess's Cold-Faced Guard" in her hand.

I had just opened the book and hadn't had time to read a few words when I heard a knock on the door.

It turned out to be Qin Honghe's servant Qingzhu who came. He said outside the door: "Young Master, there is a message from the Madam, asking you and the Madam to come over."

When Yun Shushu heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She had been severely punished by the Empress Dowager last time!

Now, whenever she heard Taijun's name, she couldn't help shivering. She really didn't want to see this scary old lady again.

Who knows whether her nominal mother-in-law will punish her again this time.

However, since the Queen Mother has already sent someone to invite me, I definitely cannot not go.

Therefore, Yun Shushu had no choice but to bite the bullet and let the maid help her pack up before following Qin Honghe to the Taijun's courtyard.

Along the way, she was nervous, fearing that the lady would make things difficult for her.

When they arrived at the Madam's courtyard, the Madam first waved her hand to signal the other servants to leave, leaving only Li Ma'am to serve.

Qin Honghe and Yun Shushu just bowed respectfully to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother did not make things difficult for her. Instead, she asked Yun Shushu, who was standing, to sit down.

Yun Shushu felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. She really couldn't understand why the Lady had called them here and even specifically asked the servants to leave.

At this time, Taijun finally spoke: "How are your injuries recovering?"

Hearing this, Qin Honghe quickly replied: "Don't worry, mother, both of our injuries have healed."

After saying that, he turned to look at Yun Shushu beside him, his eyes full of tenderness and concern.

Yun Shushu seemed a little nervous, but she still pretended to be calm and said, "Yes, mother, my injury is healed too."

She lowered her head slightly, not daring to look Taijun in the eye.

Taijun nodded, but when her gaze fell on Yun Shushu again, it suddenly became sharp.

Yun Shushu was frightened by Taijun's cold gaze and felt a panic in her heart.

She secretly wondered what Taijun was going to say next, and she prayed in her heart that it wouldn't be something bad.

The lady took a deep breath and slowly said, "Since you have both recovered, why haven't you consummated your marriage yet?"

Hearing this, Yun Shushu and Qin Honghe were both stunned.

Obviously, he had not expected Taijun to ask such a question so bluntly.

For a moment, the two looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

Yun Shushu secretly groaned in her heart. Her intuition was right. It turned out that Taijun had sent them here for no good reason.

Now you ask such an embarrassing question.

Qin Honghe was also shocked. He never expected his mother to ask such a question in front of Yun Shushu. Although he knew that his mother had always been dissatisfied with the relationship between them, she would not be so direct.

Taijun looked at Yun Shushu coldly. Her daughter-in-law had always looked down on her son.

No mother can tolerate others despising her child.

Taijun looked at Yun Shushu with cold eyes and said sternly: "Yun Shushu, since you have become Honghe's wife, you should fulfill your responsibilities as a wife and continue the family line for our Qin family."

"Zhennan Palace is not a place where you can act recklessly..."

However, before Taijun could finish her words, Qin Honghe suddenly interrupted and said, "Mother, don't blame Shushu. It's my fault. It's all my son's fault!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole room fell into silence.

After Qin Honghe finished speaking, the room fell silent instantly. Taijun, who had been chattering and educating Yun Shushu, was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth.

After a while, Taijun came back to her senses, looked at her beloved son in disbelief, and asked angrily: "Honghe, what nonsense are you talking about? How could you say such a thing?"

"What kind of drug did she give you that made you protect her to this extent! You, you are really my good son!"

Taijun's fingers were shaking with anger, and she swung her fist violently, throwing the teacup on the table to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Nanny Li hurried forward to massage the lady's chest, fearing that she would hurt herself due to her anger.

Everyone present could see that Qin Honghe was trying to exonerate Yun Shushu by not humiliating himself in order to prevent Yun Shushu from being punished.

Yun Shushu also widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief.

She never thought that Qin Honghe would use this method to defend her and save her from punishment.

She looked at the man in front of her, who actually said such a ridiculous thing just to favor her.

A man, for his own sake, denigrates his dignity as a man.

Yun Shushu's lips trembled slightly. She wanted to refute but didn't dare to speak.

The lady was so angry that she kicked them both out of the yard.

On the way back, Qin Honghe asked, "Shushu, I have to go to the shop this afternoon, do you want to go with me?"

Although Qin Honghe has difficulty walking, he is not a useless person who does nothing.

The Qin family's business was all managed by him. He was smart and wise, and good at business. After years of hard work, he had accumulated a lot of wealth and was rich enough to rival a country.

Yun Shushu looked at him and saw anticipation in the man's eyes.

He was nice, really nice, and he took great care of her.

She thought she would never find a better man than him.

The missions in this world were becoming more and more difficult for her, and Yun Shushu was becoming less and less confident.

Her mission was to marry Qin Hongye, and she understood that continuing the dispute would only make both of them more miserable.
