"This is my boudoir."
"Oh, I know," Qin Su replied indifferently, then lifted his foot and walked towards Yun Shang's boudoir.
Yun Shang was stunned. He was actually so casual!
"Qin Su! You—" Yun Shang couldn't help but stomp her foot and chased after him.
"Are you coming in with me or not?"
Yun Shang's face hardened.
"I'm not coming in."
"You must!"
"Why must I?"
"You must means you must!"
"Why?"
Yun Shang glared at Qin Su, huffing. Suddenly, inspiration struck, and she smiled, "Don't tell me you're shy? Hahaha, I guessed right, didn't I?"
"You—!" Qin Su's cheeks flushed slightly.
He was a normal man, of course he would blush, it was just that his thick skin was usually enough to hide it!
Yun Shang looked triumphantly at Qin Su and smiled, "It seems you really like girls. But don't worry, I'll help you regain your male form soon!"
Qin Su's face darkened.
"Qin Su, don't misunderstand. I didn't mean to laugh at you. I just... I just..."
Yun Shang stammered for a long time without getting to the point, making Qin Su roll his eyes in frustration.
"What exactly do you want to say? Speak!"
"I think dressing as a man is quite good, and I also like boys. Why don't we just make do with each other!"
Qin Su froze.
"No, Yun Shang, are you kidding me?"
"Believe it or not!" Yun Shang turned to leave. Qin Su quickly stepped forward and grabbed her. "I believe you, alright?"
"You really believe me?" Yun Shang blinked her big eyes, with an expression that said, "Aren't I amazing?"
"Mmm."
"I knew it." Yun Shang threw her arms around Qin Su's arm and shook it a few times, pouting playfully, "Qin Su, thank you!"
Qin Su raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, "How do you plan to repay me?"
"I can stay with you for three years..."
Before Yun Shang could finish speaking, Qin Su covered her mouth and said with a dark expression, "You said you would stay with me for a lifetime."
Three years? After three years, he would be three hundred years old! If she remarried, wouldn't he be destined for a lonely life?
"I was just teasing you! Three years is too long! I'm only seventeen, and three years later I'll still be fifteen. You're still so young, and after three years you'll definitely still be in your prime!"
"No!"
Qin Su refused decisively.
"Why not?"
"No reason! Everything you say is just farts!" Qin Su snorted and turned his head away.
Seeing Qin Su angry, Yun Shang quickly put on a flattering smile, linked her arm with his, and said, "Okay, okay! I'll stay with you for three years. After three years, I definitely won't get married. I'll stay with you until we're old. You're not allowed to be angry anymore, or I won't talk to you!"
Yun Shang's coquettishness was always effective on Qin Su.
Hearing Yun Shang's words, a satisfied smile appeared on Qin Su's face. He reached out and pinched Yun Shang's nose. "You know what's good for you."
"Hehe." Yun Shang leaned on Qin Su's shoulder with a beaming smile.
"Yun Shang, what did you come to find me for?" Qin Su asked.
Yun Shang thought for a moment and said, "My father said you saved my mother's life and gave us a great gift. Do you know what that great gift is?"
"You want to know?" Qin Su countered.
"Yes!"
"Wanting to know is useless. Just obediently come back to my manor with me. After we get married, I'll tell you slowly."
"If you don't want to say it, then don't! Who cares!" Yun Shang mumbled.
Qin Su smiled and pinched Yun Shang's cheek. "Since that's the case, you can continue to settle accounts with the Yun manor with your parents! You're not their biological child anyway, and even if they want to acknowledge you, I won't agree!"
With that, Qin Su released Yun Shang's cheek and strode forward.
Yun Shang stood stunned for a moment, then snapped back to reality.
"Hey, hey, hey! Qin Su, stop!"
Qin Su ignored her and walked straight ahead.
Yun Shang became anxious.
"Qin Su! I'll go with you, hurry up and stop!"
Yun Shang chased after Qin Su, but got lost as she walked.
She stood in place, looking around, but couldn't see Qin Su's shadow, so she turned back.
As soon as she turned the corner, she saw two figures entangled not far ahead, seemingly arguing about something.
Yun Shang frowned and walked closer.
She was familiar with both figures. It was Yun Feiyang and the beautiful woman beside him named Liu Mei'er.
Liu Mei'er was plump and tall, wearing a goose-yellow skirt embroidered with peonies. Her hair was loose and adorned with a golden hairpin, making her look incredibly wealthy.
"Wretched maid! This Princess Consort is a dignified legitimate daughter of a general! What are you, daring to call this Princess Consort a dog!" Liu Mei'er rebuked.
"Heh heh! What are you? What do you think you are? A legitimate daughter of a general? Wasn't the legitimate daughter of the General's manor already killed by you?" The man beside Liu Mei'er said sarcastically.
"That was simply her just desserts! If she has to blame anyone, it's her own stupidity and dullness, her own foolishness. She can't blame others!" Liu Mei'er said haughtily.
"Hmph!" Yun Shang scoffed.
"Oh really? Where did this wild girl come from! How dare you be so disrespectful to this Princess Consort! Guards, slap her!" Liu Mei'er commanded arrogantly.
"Slap!"
A crisp slap echoed into Yun Shang's ears.
Yun Shang looked at Liu Mei'er in utter shock. She hadn't expected this woman to be so cruel!
Yun Shang raised her hand and touched her swollen cheek, her eyes gradually welling up with tears.
"What? You're still not convinced? Come on! Keep slapping! Keep hitting! Hit her until she dies!" Liu Mei'er commanded arrogantly.
The servants behind her picked up their staffs and rushed towards Yun Shang.
Yun Shang, unable to dodge, was hit more than ten times, her body burning with pain.
Yun Shang gritted her teeth, forcing herself to stand, and said stubbornly, "Liu Mei'er, if you injure me today, I will make you pay!"
"Hmph! Based on you? With your weak skills, any guard I send can take care of you!" Liu Mei'er said dismissively.
Yun Shang trembled with anger but refused to show weakness in front of Liu Mei'er. Suppressing the rage and unwillingness in her chest, Yun Shang hobbled away.
Yun Shang didn't want trouble, but she wasn't afraid of it!
Liu Mei'er, relying on her status as a legitimate daughter of a general, acted tyrannically in the capital and had bullied her so many times. Now, she should receive her punishment!
"Sister Yun Shang! Sister Yun Shang, wait for me!"
Not long after Yun Shang left, Yun Feiyang arrived with Liu Mei'er.
Liu Mei'er saw Yun Shang injured and was instantly horrified, "General, hurry and stop her! She dared to hit your daughter! I won't stand for it!"
"Shut up!"
Yun Feiyang roared.
Liu Mei'er was startled but didn't calm down.
"Sister Yun Shang, don't be angry! I will definitely stand up for you! Don't worry, you are the only young lady of the Yun family, and I will never let anyone bully you!" Yun Feiyang promised.
"Yun Feiyang! I don't need your hypocritical protection!"
"You..."
