Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1342

Before Shi Wanzhen could reply, she ran out, fearing that she would be caught. She returned to the mansion that night and knelt outside the mistress's room, waiting for her fate.

Wei Cailing still lives alone, in a separate room from the prince. She has been busy these days and sleeps late.

While Cuizhu was kneeling outside, she was still sorting out the accounts under the lamp.

She raised her head and ordered, "Hua Ruo, let Cui Zhu come in."

Who knew that when Cuizhu entered the room and saw the mistress, she burst into tears, "Madam..."

When Wei Cailing saw Cuizhu's face, which was bruised and swollen, and her hair was disheveled, she hurriedly told Hua Ruo, "Take her to wash her face, apply some medicine, and come back after everything is done. Oh, by the way, see if there's anything to eat in the kitchen, and get some for Cuizhu."

Cuizhu shook her head and cried, "Cuizhu is not hungry. Cuizhu has failed the madam's trust. I can't do the work at my aunt's house any more."

Seeing her like that, Wei Cailing knew what she was talking about, so she looked up and gestured to Hua Ruo.

Hua Ruo took Cuizhu out to wash her up, and prepared some food for her. After everything was cleaned up, she took her back to the mistress' room.

At this moment, Shi Yunqi heard the noise and came over.

The two of them sat at the top and listened to Cuizhu talk about what had just happened.

Finally, Cuizhu said, "I heard Mr. Song say, 'At worst, we can burn down the mansion.' I think he is not just talking. He will definitely do it."

She was with Nanny Yuan at the time, sitting in the front with the coachman, and she vaguely heard Song Ruishi say this.

Wei Cailing and her husband exchanged a glance before turning to Cuizhu and nodding, "I understand. Go back to the courtyard where your aunt used to live and have a good rest today. I will prepare something for you tomorrow morning."

Cuizhu was overjoyed and kowtowed, "Madam, do I not need to help you anymore?"

"No need." Wei Cailing said, "You can stay in the Marquis' Mansion and work from now on."

Cuizhu kowtowed again to express her gratitude, then left with a satisfied feeling.

After everyone left, the couple were the only ones left in the room.

Wei Cailing raised her eyes and asked, "Does my husband think that I am too sharp in my approach and will bring resentment to the Marquis' Mansion?"

Shi Yunqi shook his head. "The style of the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion determines the fate of the entire mansion. My grandmother's selfishness has caused so much suffering to so many people. I have heard about what happened today. If you can't save face and are worried about others gossiping about you, and you bring the children of the Song family into the mansion to live, I'm afraid our lives will be in turmoil in the future. So be sharp and decisive. Although it will make people hate you, at least we can prevent it, which is much better than being defenseless."

Wei Cailing finally let go of her worries. "Xia'er always encouraged me, telling me to do whatever I wanted without worrying about my reputation or face. My husband, you and Xia'er are my support."

Shi Yunqi stood up and prepared to go back to his room to rest. "Don't think too much. Let's strengthen the guard of the mansion. By the way, how about inviting Xing Mama's nephew, the top scholar, to stay in the mansion for a few days?"

Wei Cailing's eyes lit up, "Let's not trouble the number one scholar, my brother will do."

"My eldest brother-in-law is now obsessed with cultivating a relationship with the horse. It's unclear whether he is willing to come." Shi Yunqi smiled and walked out, "I'm going over there. You should go to bed early."

"Wait, I'll take you there." Wei Cailing hurriedly stood up and walked out holding her husband's arm.

Shi Yunqi felt sorry for her tiredness and didn't want her to see him off. But he really wanted to stay with his wife for a while longer, so he put his hand on the back of his wife's arm and walked out together.

When they reached his room, he reluctantly sent his wife back...then his wife sent him back, and he sent his wife back again.

It was just that the affection between her eyebrows and eyes was already there, and the two were delighted with tenderness and sweetness. Reluctant to leave, under the flowers and the moon, Shi Yunqi suddenly pulled Wei Cailing behind the pillar of the corridor and leaned over to kiss her.
