Have You Written Your Will Today?-Chapter 487 - 481: Yangyang Wants Even More!

After causing a ruckus at the Minister of Industry Mansion, Shen Hua left feeling refreshed and clear-headed.

She looked up at the vast and boundless sky, where stars and the moon twinkled. A cool breeze began to rise, causing the lantern in her hand to sway in the wind.

Xie Yinong hesitated briefly: "I think the official’s intention was to hint to Minister Wei on how to act, to quell Lady’s anger."

But Shen Hua had not mentioned a single word about it. After leaning in to admire Mrs. Wang’s round face, she insulted her by calling her an ugly thing and then yawned.

——"I’m sleepy."

With that, she didn’t forget to greet Wei Han cordially

——"No need to see me out, we’re all family here, I’ll come again next time."

Xie Yinong thought that Shen Hua was doing this intentionally.

Leaving Wei Han anxious yet without giving even half a word about official matters. The uproar came with great fanfare but ended abruptly, causing even more uncertainty and terror.

And judging by his expression just now, he’ll probably toss and turn all night.

Shen Hua walked with small steps towards the exit, and upon hearing this, she chuckled softly.

"The senior court officials recommend the worthy, but nevertheless must guess the Emperor’s will. Yet Minister Wei does not stand firm with either side."

She was very patient. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"He is confused this time, not knowing the severity of matters, still unaware of who the Wei Family now relies on. The official may be patient with Lady because it’s a matter between husband and wife. But do you really think he’d endure Minister Wei? The Ministry of Industry is one of the Six Ministries, overseeing all construction policies of the realm, systems of civil engineering, the use and patterns of implements, and legislative methods for waterways and barriers, as well as the rituals for the royal tombs. What virtues and abilities does Wei Han possess?"

"His ability has plateaued, and though he could be a good father, the official might be willing to turn a blind eye and let him retain his title a bit longer, allowing others to take on important duties instead. Nowadays, with restructuring at all levels, this could be construed as stripping Wei Han of his power. This way, the Ministry of Industry will not be hindered, reaching a certain level of balance. But Wei Han isn’t that type. He doesn’t even have the skill to pretend."

Shen Hua: "Let’s guess how long he can hold onto his position."

Previously, the Duchess taught Xie Yinong interpersonal skills and how to manage household affairs, but this was the first time someone analyzed court affairs with her.

Xie Yinong found this novelty intriguing, pondering over each word. Just as she was about to respond, she noticed Eunuch Xu eavesdropping from behind.

Anxious, she clenched her palm; speaking ill of the Emperor is a grave offense.

Eunuch Xu followed behind, with his eyelids twitching at what he heard. Lady spoke without reservation and even turned around when she saw Xie Yinong’s reaction: "What do you think, Eunuch Xu."

Eunuch Xu forced a smile and couldn’t help but wipe his sweat.

What could he say? If it were anyone else speaking those words, he would have scolded them for being bold and even disposed of them, but this is Prince’s favorite.

Eunuch Xu realized that a girl like Shen Hua sees through this clearly, thus she is unfazed. She even climbs higher along the way.

Fortunately, Lady did not make it difficult for him.

Shen Hua was indifferent: "Moreover, do you really think Wei Yingying is brooding over Wei Han’s issues?"

She never considered that Ji Teng, so intelligent and decisive, still couldn’t see the truth. Not realizing that he is the real villain.

Wei Han is just incidental. In the end, he’s rather innocent in enduring the Emperor’s wrath.

Xie Yinong earnestly sought advice: "Then what is it for?"

Eunuch Xu held his breath in silence, eager to know from Shen Hua’s tone, what it was for?

Shen Hua witnessed Eunuch Xu getting closer, almost sticking his ear in from a few feet away, and suddenly she didn’t want to talk anymore.

Lady is still that Lady.

She enjoys doing bad things, but good things? She truly has no desire for that.

The group had already stepped out of the Wei Residence, and as she blinked her eyes, about to give a perfunctory response, she saw Eunuch Xu’s extremely obsequious look towards a certain direction.

"Oh, why has the Prince come here this late at night?"

Shen Hua looked over and saw a person standing in front of the carriage they had arrived in on the street.

Xie Yinong sensed a change in Shen Hua’s aura. She went from being utterly unrestrained to instantly appearing aloof and dismissive.

The Lady arrogantly lifted her chin as she stepped down the stairs and walked towards the tall, handsome figure. Before Cui Yun could speak, she took the initiative, her voice unusually soft and affected.

"Who would I have thought it to be, so the Prince also has the habit of strolling out late at night?"

As she spoke, she tried to perfectly adjust the hairpin in her hair. The hazy moonlight made the charming features of the young lady somewhat indistinct. She stopped again a few yards away.

Cui Yun had just come from the Ministry of Justice, and had not yet had the chance to change out of his official clothes.

He spoke indifferently: "Not at all. Gentlemen of my age going out at this hour, most do so in search of pleasure amongst the flowers and willows."

Shen Hua was slightly stunned, truly not understanding why he would bring this up out of the blue, only to hear him continue speaking.

"I’ve come to take you back."

"Cousin, there really is no need..."

She struggled to keep the corners of her mouth from curling upwards.

"To belittle others to show off oneself."

What kind of tactic was this from Cui Yun! Certainly more cunning than Aunt Man!

The night air was thick and cool, his voice becoming increasingly ethereal and clear, yet if one listened carefully, it carried a sense of laziness and teasing.

"So, will my cousin agree?"

"Absolutely not!"

Shen Hua took a few steps back, warily eyeing the man. With her movement, the bells hanging from her hairpin jingled crisply.

"Don’t think that by uttering a few sweet words and giving a few tattered books, I will let that incident slide."

Heaven knows that when she received those boxes of books from Prince Gong Mansion, the tense string in her mind had completely snapped. It was as if she could still hear a voice beside her ear.

——So, it can be like this!

She is a clever person.

Yangyang expressed a desire for more!

Cui Yun was not upset. He sighed softly, looking towards her in cooperation.

"Is it so hard to please you?"

"Mhm!"

She responded especially quickly. She even didn’t forget to nod emphatically.

Cui Yun murmured: "This is indeed troublesome."

Shen Hua was fearless and defiant. She even stuck out her little finger. Before she could utter her coldhearted words, she heard a voice from above.

"If softness doesn’t work, it seems we must resort to a little force."

Before she could react, her waist was grasped, the world spun around, and she was hoisted onto a horse by someone. Only then did Shen Hua realize that Cui Yun was holding the reins.

"Let’s go!"

The horse neighed, lifting its front hooves. Shen Hua’s mouth voiced resistance, but her body was honest; when the horse lunged forward, she instinctively found the most comfortable position nestled in Cui Yun’s embrace.

The sound of horse hooves gradually faded.

Before she could gather her wits, she heard his soft laughter beside her ear.

Perhaps it had been too long since they were close, or perhaps the night was too deep.

Shen Hua only felt that his laughter was very improper. It indeed seemed like a hint of the tender and emotional moments before entanglement.

She looked ahead with a reserved and calm demeanor.

"You’re running in the wrong direction."

Cui Yun responded agreeably, clearly, he was doing it on purpose.

"Feeling regret."

"I don’t wish to send you back so soon."

The lantern in Shen Hua’s hand was extinguished by the wind. He wrapped both of them together in his cloak.

Shen Hua furrowed her brows. Then she heard him speak coolly and indifferently.

"The moonlight happens to be nice tonight, let’s talk about how you can’t stand the loneliness."
