At night, Shangguan Yun was worried when he saw that Wu Luoluo hadn't returned for a long time, so he took Pin Hao and went to look for her. But he found that after Wu Luoluo drank the sobering-up soup, she was half-awake and half-dazed, hugging the little baby tightly and refusing to let go.
Wei Dongling raised her eyebrows and smiled. "How about you take the baby back for a couple of days and then send it back?"
Shangguan Yun's face darkened. He picked up Wu Luoluo and went back.
As the wedding date of Young Master Yun was approaching, the whole prince's mansion was in a frenzy of activity. After Shangguan Yun took a trip to Lanshan Temple in his spare time, he didn't have a moment to rest. He not only had to worry about the betrothal gifts from the prince's mansion but also had to prepare the dowry for Wu Luoluo.
Moreover, he couldn't even see Wu Luoluo every day! That girl would go to the Su Mansion before dawn every day to take care of Wei Dongling's health and only come back at night.
Shangguan Yun was extremely shocked. He quickly went to ask He Xiao what on earth had happened. How could it take a whole day to get rid of the poison!
He Xiao replied, "The Fifth Princess saw that the young mistress is highly skilled in medicine and asked her if she wanted to open a medical clinic to treat the common people. The young mistress happily agreed. The two hit it off and started looking for a shop during the day!" The Fifth Princess had many shops bestowed by the emperor. She rode her little red horse and took the young mistress to visit several streets today. Her heroic appearance caught the eyes of passers-by. It was said that they finally settled on a prosperous shop at the east gate and had already started to renovate it.
Shangguan Yun's face darkened. He had planned to take Wu Luoluo to choose a location and open a pharmacy after their wedding. He didn't expect that Wei Dongling would get there first without a sound.
That's okay! One night before going to bed, Wu Luoluo hugged Shangguan Yun's arm and whispered, "My lord, I think Miss Wei is so amazing!"
"How is she amazing?" Shangguan Yun was distracted. He reached out to untie Wu Luoluo's inner clothes, and his big hands wandered over her body irregularly. How could his Luoluo's skin be so smooth? It felt really good to touch!
Wu Luoluo's bright eyes sparkled. She happily told Shangguan Yun about the story of Wei Dongling leading two armies to bully the prince of Xiliang in Jiangcheng.
Wu Luoluo heard about Wei Dongling's heroic deeds from Cui Huan. She immediately admired the Fifth Princess to the core. Her eyes shone with admiration when she looked at her.
Shangguan Yun watched Wu Luoluo smiling with curved eyebrows. He was quite speechless in his heart. Luoluo, have you forgotten that you are from Xiliang? The prince that Wei Dongling bullied is the future king of your Xiliang!
Wu Luoluo pushed away Shangguan Yun's big hands that were wandering over her body wantonly. She smiled gently and said, "My lord, why is Miss Wei such an interesting person!" Well! No wonder my lord was so infatuated with her before. If she were a man, she might also keep her eyes fixed on the Fifth Princess and be reluctant to look away!
Moreover, the whole Su Mansion, although they were not related by blood, could love and support each other, living in harmony and happiness. It was really enviable!
Shangguan Yun didn't respond. He rolled over and pressed Wu Luoluo under him, reaching out to take off his inner clothes.
Wu Luoluo clung to his shoulders and blushed. "By the way, the Fifth Princess privately asked me today if I had slept with you, how you were, and whether you were good enough... Wuwu... What are you doing, my lord?"
Shangguan Yun covered Wu Luoluo's mouth with one hand. His face instantly flushed red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "She even asked you this?" Wei Dongling was really shameless!
Wu Luoluo replied seriously, "She not only asked me but also asked Miss Cui Huan about her husband..."
Shangguan Yun rolled off Wu Luoluo. He covered her with the quilt and sat on the edge of the bed unhappily. "How could Dongling... ask such things? You should stay away from her in the future. Don't be led astray by her!"
Wu Luoluo was surprised. "How can you speak of Miss Wei like this? Although she can say such shy things, she is actually a good girl! She hasn't even... you know... with Young Master Yu yet!" She even wondered if Young Master Yu was not good in that aspect. She wanted to grab a tonic for him.
Yu Zixi: Thank you so much!
Shangguan Yun's face froze. He gasped and asked, "She even told you these things?" What shocked him the most was that now Wu Luoluo wouldn't even let him speak ill of Wei Dongling in private.
She had only gone to see Dongling for a few days. Why was she so partial to her?
Shangguan Yun was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. For safety's sake, he decided to take Wu Luoluo to the Su Mansion himself tomorrow and pick her up earlier.
However, early the next morning, a eunuch from the palace came to the prince's mansion to deliver an imperial edict. Wu Luoluo, the adopted sister of the Fifth Princess, was conferred the title of County Mistress Huiqing and was to enter the palace immediately to receive the reward.
The prince and his wife were overjoyed. Although they didn't mind Wu Luoluo's humble background, they were worried that their daughter-in-law would be gossiped about by outsiders. Now that she was conferred the title of county mistress in the name of the Fifth Princess's adopted sister and was going to marry into the prince's mansion, surely no one would dare to look down on their daughter-in-law.
Shangguan Yun's face was as black as charcoal. He couldn't be happy at all. Now that Luoluo had been conferred the title of county mistress, she was probably really going to collude with that girl Wei Dongling!
Sure enough! Just as he feared! After Wu Luoluo was conferred the title of county mistress, she stayed in the Su Mansion that very night.
Shangguan Yun was furious. But he didn't dare to go and confront Wei Dongling, so he had to go to the Yu Mansion to bother Yu Zixi.
Now the Yu Mansion had a new look. The four characters "Jinxi Prince's Mansion" written by the emperor himself were shining brightly under the red lanterns.
When Shangguan Yun stepped in, Yu Zixi was lying on the couch with his legs crossed, opening his mouth to eat the pastries handed by his servant. When he saw Shangguan Yun coming, Yu Zixi quickly got up and asked the servant to prepare some wine and dishes. He smiled coquettishly and asked, "Oh? You're not going to accompany your young mistress tonight. How come you have time to come and visit me?"
Shangguan Yun got straight to the point. "Your Dongling is so irresponsible! She has been teaching my Luoluo all sorts of nonsense. And today, she even got her conferred the title of county mistress! Now Luoluo doesn't even come back to the prince's mansion at night. It's not proper for her to stay in the Su Mansion every night!"
Seeing Shangguan Yun looking like he was coming to find fault, Yu Zixi smiled with curved eyebrows. "So you're depressed that you can't sleep with your beauty tonight? It doesn't matter. You can share half of my bed!"
Shangguan Yun:...
Seeing Shangguan Yun with a black face, Yu Zixi stopped teasing him. He waved his hand and said seriously, "Miss Wu from your family has been an orphan since she was a child. It's very appropriate for Wei to arrange for her to get married from the Su Mansion. It would invite criticism if she moved into the prince's mansion before you two got married!"
Shangguan Yun was speechless. He knew that what Yu Zixi said was indeed true. But he was already used to Wu Luoluo accompanying him every night. Being separated like this and having to wait until the wedding day to sleep together made him feel so uncomfortable that he was like a cat on hot bricks.
