Have You Written Your Will Today?-Chapter 512 - 502: You May Not Like It at First, But You’ll Grow to Love It

Chapter 512: Chapter 502: You May Not Like It at First, But You’ll Grow to Love It

"Really?!"

The little girl was undoubtedly surprised and delighted.

Under her anticipation, Cui Yun nodded. Then, with light makeup barely applied, she casually dropped a statement.

"Your great-grandfather’s intention is to send you to the Imperial College."

A bolt from the blue.

"I won’t go!"

Shen Hua cocked her thumb: "If not the Imperial College, would you rather go to the academy to accompany Ji Huo?"

She thought for a moment.

"That could work, perhaps with some effort, you could even outperform Ji Huo, who’s at the bottom of the class."

Cui Yun: "Once there, no one would dare disrespect you because of your status, and the palace would be safe, too. Second Uncle is reassured by this. All I ask is that you don’t bully others when you’re at the Imperial College. I don’t expect you to be over-ambitious, but you still have to work hard and not waste your time. You can return home from the college every day, and I’ve found Zhao Wu to take care of you there."

Cui Rong put on a mask of suffering.

Ever since Shen Hua came into the picture, her status was never the same; she was used to it by now.

Shen Hua was very comfortable and even began to revel in schadenfreude: "You complained to me last time that the legitimate young son of the Governor Zhou Mansion often defies you."

The little girl didn’t want to hear about that person. Her tone was very sharp.

"Shut up!"

Shen Hua was expressionless: "Show some respect to your Second Aunt."

Cui Rong gritted her teeth: "You shut up!"

Shen Hua sneered: "What a joke, as if I should listen to you."

"Yesterday, the Zhou Family visited Duke Fu’s Mansion. The Governor’s wife came to see me, and Mr. Zhou was waiting in the yard. I even took a special look at him. He looks quite respectable."

"Drop it, he’s clearly an ugly thing."

Cui Rong couldn’t help responding again: "He acts all high and mighty all day, just to be praised by everyone, pah! Deep down he’s rotten to the core."

She had disliked him for a long time, and when she got the chance to beat him up last time, not only did he not beg for mercy, but he even dared to fight back! 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

What’s more, after subduing her, he even had the audacity to lecture her on the virtues of the sages in a pretentious way.

She detested him even more.

When Shen Hua found out about this, she also cursed with her, but now she seemed like a different person. Seeing her such strong aversion, the girl was cruelly hypocritical.

"Oh dear, what to do, he’s also at the Imperial College, and he’s the most impressive student there. When you go there later, wouldn’t your studies be overshadowed?"

"If I were you, I couldn’t stand this humiliation."

Cui Rong: ...

So what should she do?

Just thinking of that person’s triumphant look made her feel suffocated. There were many who did better in studies than her, but Zhou Xi, he must be taken down!

After serving tea, Cui Yun did not take her into the palace. Ji Huo had said yesterday that it was not necessary for her to make the trip out of consideration.

In fact, before and after the marriage, there wasn’t much difference for Shen Hua.

The two were not strangers to each other, nor was there the awkwardness that could come from a bride and groom not being familiar with each other.

When they returned to their room, she ordered Cui Yun around imperiously.

The tea is too hot, replace it.

No good, it’s cooled down. Replace it.

Once she was satisfied with the temperature, Shen Hua didn’t drink it.

She just looked at Cui Yun with pain and sorrow.

"Why don’t you understand that what I always wanted to drink was honey water?"

Cui Yun gave her a deep look, which contained various profound meanings.

Shen Hua felt a chill as she was being watched, but fortunately, he went to pour honey water without a word.

The girl drank a large amount this time, it was sweet. She tapped her toes lightly on the floor, acting coy and stretching her arms: "My shoulders, give them a rub."

Such a picky person as she was, she already had in mind how to give him trouble, yet Cui Yun didn’t utter a word, and his massage was impeccable, even comfortable for her.

Shen Hua’s eyelids were heavy, and her little face drooped bit by bit. But she did not forget to praise him.

"Your skills are wasted if you don’t become a servant."

"Hmm."

Cui Yun responded indifferently.

"If I ever stop being an official, I can still provide for you with my skills."

As he lifted her into his arms, Shen Hua found herself seated on the desk. Without knowing why, Cui Yun bent his knee to massage her sore and numb legs.

But soon, her skirt was pushed up, and the place he pressed moved towards her thigh, spontaneously prompting the girl to close her legs together.

"Hooligan!"

Cui Yun was about to fetch the medicine bottle to apply another layer of the swelling-reducing ointment when he heard this, and he knew that Shen Hua had misunderstood: "How can the proper intimacies between husband and wife be considered as hooliganism?"

He furrowed his brows: "Or are you saying that I haven’t made it enjoyable for you?"

As soon as this matter was raised, Shen Hua became angry.

"Don’t you have any idea what I think?"

Shen Hua told him seriously: "I don’t like that."

Cui Yun, indifferent, fixed her golden hairpin: "You may find it uncomfortable at first, but you’ll eventually grow to like it."

Considering it was her first time, Cui Yun refrained from touching her again. After returning home over the three days, Shen Hua guarded herself against Cui Yun like guarding against a thief at night, and indeed, she breathed a sigh of relief afterwards.

He saw the thoughts in Shen Hua’s heart clearly but never mentioned them.

The girl went out to inquire, sending Cui Rong to ask Qiao Si if she had received any banquet invitations recently.

"There indeed have been quite a few banquets these days."

Shen Hua knew that this spelled busyness.

The message from Cui Rong: "...it’s just that they all dare not send invitations to our Marquis Mansion anymore."

The girl couldn’t understand: "Why is that?"

Cui Rong crossed her arms: "What else could it be? If we can’t afford to offend them, can we not avoid them?"

Shen Hua disliked these words.

"We have to see each other no matter what, their behavior like this is truly inappropriate."

She might choose not to attend, but what right did these people have not to send invitations!

"You’ve offended nearly half the commanded women in Shengjing."

"I didn’t provoke them without reason!"

This point, Cui Rong acknowledged: "They came to you on their own to put on airs and with all sorts of devious thoughts, we haven’t even disdained them, yet now they disdain us. They really don’t know how to behave."

She leaned closer to Shen Hua, deliberately flattering her: "Besides, if we wanted to go, would the lack of an invitation stop us? Couldn’t we just force our way in?"

Shen Hua was about to nod with dignity, but then she hesitated.

"What are you talking about? Are you saying that I should tear down their doors?"

"We are all civilized girls."

"Be more dignified, and don’t always think about resorting to violence."

————

At nightfall, Shen Hua emerged from the washroom.

Cui Yun was already reading on the bed. Hearing her, he looked up and patted the bed: "Come here."

She walked over and sat down, letting him skillfully twist her hair into a bun.

Once nearly done, he hugged her from behind, planting kisses densely along the back of her neck.

"Does it still hurt?"

These three words put Shen Hua on high alert. She swallowed her saliva, weakly responding: "It hurts."

Cui Yun chuckled, his fingertips wandering beneath the hem of her garment.

"But this morning I saw you chasing Rong all around the yard."

Shen Hua wanted to jump up and run away, but he turned her around, facing him, her face burning red: "Why do you always think about... that?"

Cui Yun kissed her, passing his hot breath into her mouth, holding her head from behind, not letting her escape.

Shen Hua breathed rapidly.

"Wait a minute!"

Cui Yun’s eyes were unfathomably dark.

Shen Hua’s mind went blank.

"I... I am a married woman, this is not proper between you and me."

Cui Yun propped himself up and approached her with a smile. He untied her waistband.

"Be good, keep your voice down, so that the young man you married doesn’t hear."
