Seeing the man’s frown, about to speak, she quickly said, "This isn’t out of charity, okay? I just heard that Jiezhe mentioned his matters. Bianliao losing a soldier like him is a loss. If my husband didn’t care, why would you send him Silver?"
"You knew about this?"
"Big mouth, not just Banlai."
"When did that dog Jiezhe have contact with you?"
"At my tavern, no real contact, don’t overthink it! He’s afraid I’ll speak ill of that big fat tiger in front of you, so he often comes to the tavern to forcefully promote the big fat tiger, saying that on the battlefield, he’s as heroic as you were in your youth!"
Yelyu Lie was silent for a moment, then let out a long sigh, "Let’s not talk about him anymore. Wife, I don’t understand the ways of doing business, but there’s truth in the saying that where there’s loss, there’s gain. It’s an age-old principle.
You need to take it easy. The Royal City now isn’t the same as a year ago. You’ve done very well, don’t put all the pressure on yourself, or your husband will feel guilty."
Yun Chunnuan: "..."
Heavens!
She thought she had hidden her worries well enough.
Yet her husband saw through them in an instant.
She let out a deep sigh, "Husband, you found out, huh? I’m not afraid of losses. There’s no worry with the vegetables; once packed into boxes, the people at the big fair will surely buy some, right?
It’s just that the weather gets colder every day. Even if the fruits are prepared for tasting, no one comes by.
The prosperity of Bianliao now is an illusion. Those Silvers are just being passed around internally, still earned from our own people?"
"But they are still the Silvers my wife earned from wealthy merchants, without stealing or robbing. What’s wrong with that? They can go out and earn money from the outside tribes. Isn’t it the same logic?
Don’t you fret endlessly. There’s less than two months before you become a bride. I’ve been looking forward to it for so long and don’t want to spend our wedding night with a frowning little wife!"
Yun Chunnuan was amused by him, "You, you never forget about the wedding night!"
"Of course! How long have I been longing for it? There’s a big fair every month. If not this time, there’s always next time. Put on a happy face for your husband!"
Yelyu Lie doesn’t like seeing his little darling frown. He loves to see her smile, always smiling.
Perhaps she herself doesn’t even realize how beautiful she looks when she smiles. Even if his sky is filled with clouds, as long as he sees her smile, the sky clears up.
So, Nuannuan is his little sun and must always be happy, always smiling.
"Husband, I seriously doubt, have you truly never had a romantic relationship before? How come you can be so eloquent with words of love?"
"These aren’t words of love; these are the truths from my heart, just for you."
His strong arm wrapped tightly around the slender waist of his little darling, pulling her toward the insistence of the early morning...
Yun Chunnuan blushed, her sweet voice slightly hoarse, "Be serious, there’s important business to do today. We..."
"This is the most important business for me!"
His searing lips pressed down, enveloping Yun Chunnuan with his unique, intoxicating scent...
When Yun Chunnuan got up to dress and groom herself, she saw in the mirror her plump lips even redder, without needing rouge.
There were also traces on her neck left maliciously by someone.
How annoying!
This intention to let everyone know she is a married woman is too obvious!
Changing into a high-collared autumn outfit, Yun Chunnuan called Qiao’er to style her hair into a woman’s chignon.
Qiao’er was quite puzzled, as the Princess always preferred a girl’s hairstyle! She had asked before, and the Princess said unmarried girls are maidens, and she could wear whichever hairstyle she liked, as long as it’s pretty!
Today, going to the big fair to see the world, she styled a woman’s chignon instead.
Yun Chunnuan didn’t explain.
When Yelyu Lie returned from inspecting each small kitchen and personally overseeing the packing of the meals, he came back to the room. Seeing the look of his little darling, his eyes lit up.
"Whose young lady is this? How is she so beautiful? A fairy descending to the world? Her husband is so lucky, doesn’t he want to hide this little Fairy away?"
"Flatterer!" Yun Chunnuan put away her cosmetics and stood up, "Is everything ready?"
"With your husband taking charge, one is equal to two, surely without any mistakes."
In every matter concerning his little darling, Yelyu Lie ensures personal involvement, especially in things she’s concerned about. He couldn’t trust anyone else to oversee. Should anything go wrong with the food, all the effort his little wife put in would be in vain.
"Thank you, husband~"
Yun Chunnuan stepped up to the man, stood on tiptoes, and planted a kiss on his lips.
As he attempted to deepen the kiss, she quickly backed away, "No way, I took a long time with this makeup! Today, I’m representing Bianliao people’s new spirit and can’t embarrass ourselves."
"All according to the lady’s wishes. Shall we go then?"
"You’re coming too?"
"Of course, even with urgent matters, I must accompany you throughout today as your husband."
The foreign tribes and their endless strange customs aren’t as simple as the straightforward Bianliao people. Each is more cunning than a monkey. How could he let her face them alone?
"Husband, what’s with you today, being so annoying?"
Yun Chunnuan saw his proud look, couldn’t help but curl her lips.
The DNA of cheesy lines was activated, suddenly wanting to tease him.
Yelyu Lie: "!"
He looked himself up and down; after all, he had dressed up meticulously and couldn’t lose to any man.
Why am I annoying?
The next second, he heard the little darling tiptoeing, whispering in his ear, "Annoyingly lovable, never boring~~"
