The more cowardly a person is, the more wild they are; I've driven the villainous minister craz

Yu Wan opened her eyes wide in shock, thinking that Yun Shang was joking with her.

Why did she have to ask that question, and Yun Shang deliberately answered in that way?

It was as if he was deliberately going against her.

Still clinging to a sliver of hope, Yu Wan asked one last time, "Did you just say something wrong?"

Her eyes reflected a faint light, yet shone brighter than the stars in the night sky. Yun Shang's heart stirred slightly, and he lowered his eyes, his voice remaining calm.

"You heard that right."

"To prevent any further accidents from happening to you and Mom, I will go home to stay every day after school from now on."

Yu Wan: "..." Heaven is going to kill her!

Yu Wan was devastated when she learned that she would have to share a bed with Yun Shang every night.

It's not that she dislikes Yun Shang, it's just that she likes him too much, and she's always worried that she won't be able to control herself and pounce on him.

This was the first time Yu Wan had experienced what it meant to feel both pain and pleasure.

After settling into her new home, Yun Shang returned to Bailu Academy in the afternoon.

Moving to a new house is a big event, and the Shen family wanted to hold a celebratory event to shake off the bad luck they had recently had. After discussing it, the family decided to hold a housewarming banquet on the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, which is the day after tomorrow.

They won't hold a big celebration; they'll just invite some relatives and friends to get together for a meal and have some fun at the new house.

Yun Shang has a heavy workload, so these matters need to be handled by Yu Wan and Shen Shi.

Because Yu Wan also has the persona of being "illiterate," the task of writing the invitation letter can only be left to Yun Xi.

On the day the Yun family's house caught fire, Yun Xi inhaled too much smoke and dust, which damaged her health. In fact, her injuries were more serious than Yu Wan's.

Yu Wan only suffered superficial injuries, while Yun Xi was injured internally and could only recover slowly.

Old Master Feng instructed her not to overwork herself and to take her medicine on time.

Therefore, Yu Wan could only keep an eye on Yun Xi and write for a maximum of half an hour each day.

Invitations were sent out before the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Yun Shang took half a day off today to help everyone receive the guests.

According to custom, the elders in the family are responsible for receiving guests, but Madam Shen intended to formally introduce Yu Wan to her relatives and friends, so she deliberately found an excuse to have Yu Wan and Yun Shang greet guests at the door together.

The clothes the two wore today were newly bought by Mrs. Shen.

Because it was a joyous occasion, both of them were dressed in red, which at first glance looked like wedding attire.

Yu Wan is charming and cute, while Yun Shang is handsome and elegant. The two of them standing together look like a perfect couple.

Many of the guests who came to the door joked about whether they were getting married today.

Even with her thick skin, Yu Wan couldn't help but blush when teased by so many people.

While Yun Shang was entertaining guests, his gaze involuntarily fell on Yu Wan's face.

Her makeup today was already pink and delicate, and the blush on her face made her even more charming.

Just then, several little beggars suddenly rushed over from the street.

Yun Shang's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously grabbed Yu Wan's hand, pulling her behind him.

Yu Wan was exchanging pleasantries with a lady when Yun Shang suddenly grabbed her hand. Before she could react, Yun Shang had already shielded her behind him.

She looked confused.

"Young master, madam, we heard that your family is celebrating a joyous occasion today, so we came here to share in the happiness."

The young beggars were all quite young. Although their clothes were tattered, their faces and bodies were clean, and each of them wore a big smile.

They were saying auspicious words.

"May your family prosper and enjoy great fortune..."

"Wishing you, young master and madam, a son soon and a long and happy marriage..."

"May you, young master and madam, have two children within three years, each a son..."

Upon hearing these last few words of blessing, Yu Wan's lips twitched.

Having two children in three years, each a son—what a vicious curse!

However, upon hearing this, Yun Shang couldn't help but smile.

The surrounding guests also looked at the young couple with smiles on their faces.

Yun Shang instructed his servant Yuan Bao to fetch some copper coins.

Upon hearing this, the little beggars uttered one auspicious phrase after another.

They just haven't read any books, and all they know are these few phrases.

For a moment, all Yu Wan could hear were the words "two children in three years, and sons in every single one".

Yu Wan: "..." How embarrassing! I wish there was a crack in the ground so she could disappear into!

After seeing the little beggars off, Yu Wan couldn't help but wipe away her sweat.

But then she suddenly realized that Yun Shang was still holding her hand.

Yu Wan: "..." Why isn't he letting go yet?

Guests arrived in an endless stream, and Yun Shang kept talking to them. Yu Wan didn't want to interrupt and ask Yun Shang to let go, so she could only quietly pull her hand away, and then...

No twitching.

Yun Shang wasn't holding it tightly, but for some reason, Yu Wan just couldn't pull her hand away.

She couldn't make too much noise. She had to keep smiling while secretly trying to pull her hand away. After struggling for a long time, her back was sweating, but Yun Shang still held her hand properly.

Tired, destroy it.

Yu Wan chose to give up.

Many people from Shijia Village also came. Aunt Qiuhua saw the young couple holding hands intimately from afar, and her face was full of joy.

Mrs. Shen had always hoped that her son and daughter-in-law could live a good life together, and now it seems that the young couple's relationship is getting better and better.

Aunt Qiuhua walked over with a smile, handed the gift to Yunshang, and looked at the two of them with a smile, "Not bad, not bad, Shang-ge'er, Yu-niang, this kind of relationship is built up over time. Now that you two have such a good relationship, you should give your mother a grandson or granddaughter soon."

Yu Wan's cheeks were flushed.

Yun Shang handed the gift to the servant for safekeeping and politely replied, "Thank you for your concern, Aunt Qiuhua. We will do our best to deliver it as soon as possible."

Yu Wan's eyes widened immediately.

ASAP?

As soon as possible?!

Aunt Qiuhua was surprised that Yunshang would agree to her request, and she couldn't stop smiling. "Okay, okay, Auntie will be looking forward to your baby's full moon celebration next year."

Yu Wan: "..." How exactly did things develop to this point?

After Aunt Qiuhua went inside, Yu Wan's face was so hot it could fry an egg.

Taking advantage of the absence of guests, she tugged at Yun Shang's sleeve and whispered, "...Could you let go of me?"

"Also, Aunt Qiuhua always likes to make these kinds of jokes, so don't take them seriously."

Yun Shang turned and glanced at her.

The girl lowered her head slightly, her cheeks flushed, and even her eyes and brows were tinged with shyness.

Yun Shang suddenly felt a tickle in his heart, as if someone was gently brushing a feather across it.

He didn't want to let go of Yu Wan's hand, but seeing her face so red, he hesitated for a moment and then let go.

Yu Wan quickly took two steps back.

Yun Shang's eyes darkened slightly, and just as he was about to say something, a voice came from below the steps: "Prince Chen has arrived—"

He turned his head and saw a guard in black helping Prince Chen down from the carriage.

Yun Shang showed no surprise.

He had Lady Shen deliver an invitation to Prince Chen as well.

He was about to go down to greet him when he saw Prince Chen turn around and lead a slender figure out of the carriage.

The young girl wore a magnificent and elaborate dress, with layers upon layers of exquisite and beautiful skirt. This time, she did not wear a veil, revealing a face that was naturally beautiful without any makeup.

The moment she stepped down from the carriage, Yu Wan noticed that everyone around her seemed to fall silent for a moment, staring blankly at the girl.
