Have You Written Your Will Today?-Chapter 509 - 501: Clearly Wore You Out

The embroidered dragon and phoenix pattern curtain was half-drooping, blocking much of the light.

Her bosom and waist outlined a gracefully enchanting allure of spring.

Unable to hide, yet unable to chase away.

Cui Yun’s eyes were crimson-red as he coaxed her, his fingertips and thin lips stroked with the utmost patience.

Without much force, her body had already sustained numerous marks.

Shen Hua’s almond-shaped eyes brimmed with a misty fog. Large teardrops fell one after another, her sobbing voice was full of grievance, seemingly resentful and complaining.

Unknowingly, it had started to rain outside. Pitter-patter.

The moon climbed over the willow tops, adding to the exceptional tranquility of the Marquis Mansion.

The large raindrops fell with an unstoppable momentum, tick-tock, tick-tock. They passed through the layers of branches and leaves and landed on the begonia flowers which unbeknownst to all had bloomed secretly in advance and now appeared enchantingly dripping. The wet petals, startled, caused the buds to tremble slightly.

Cui Yun’s actions were fierce.

Waiting until she became slightly accustomed, lost in chaotic emotions and intoxication.

Then, he filled her body completely, embedding himself, and taking possession of the beauty he had long desired for himself.

————

The next day.

Sunlight climbed the window lattice, the patchy light and shadows were blocked by the drapery.

Shen Hua’s body ached all over, she stared at the bed canopy for a moment, then with trembling legs was supported by Ningzhu as she stepped down from the bed. The girl said nothing, yet her eyes surreptitiously scanned around.

"The young master got up early. Before he left, he specifically instructed this servant not to wake the lady. Told you to rest well."

Shen Hua didn’t accept this kindness at all. She angrily retorted, "What kind of talk is that? Is there no need to follow the rule of serving tea? So he gets to be the good person? He’s really devious and sly!"

Getting married is clearly a happy occasion, newlyweds should ideally be deeply affectionate with each other. Ningzhu didn’t understand where Shen Hua’s anger came from, but Yicui was about to give birth and wasn’t by her side to serve her. She only managed to come by yesterday to attend the wedding, so now she could only softly persuade her, "The young master is simply cherishing the madam." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Shen Hua covered her chest with her hand.

She! Couldn’t see a hint of Cui Yun cherishing her at all.

Unable to bear the relentless scourging from yesterday, she pleaded with him.

Softly and tearfully begging him. Despite all her nice words, she did not see Cui Yun let her off.

When Cui Yun returned, he brought a chill with him.

Seeing her awake, his eyes softened, and he stepped closer.

Unexpectedly, Shen Hua only gave him a haughty glance, quickly looked away, and when he approached, the girl conspicuously refused to communicate, turning her back on him, presenting the back of her head.

Cui Yun couldn’t help but let out a low chuckle.

At breakfast, Ningzhu and Ji Qing both excused themselves, leaving only the two of them in the room.

Shen Hua, feeling aggrieved, didn’t hesitate to confront him head-on.

Whatever Cui Yun picked up with his chopsticks, she would preemptively snatch away.

Of course, this was Cui Yun letting her do so intentionally. But Shen Hua was far from grateful. In no time at all, her bowl was piled into a small mountain, teetering on the edge of toppling over.

Just then, a serving of shrimp dumplings came from across the table, and what was infuriating was that he served it lightly and smoothly.

It didn’t fall.

It didn’t wobble anymore.

The serving of shrimp dumplings was harmonious and stable.

Shen Hua, eager to learn, watched for a moment and tried to add another piece of dim sum.

Then she heard him say softly, "Eat more, being this hungry shows that I must have worn you out yesterday."

Shen Hua glared at him.

The ground was a bit damp, but there were no puddles.

When heading to the main courtyard, Shen Hua walked very slowly.

She had broken skin the night before, and afterwards, Cui Yun had applied medicine to her. Now, the initial burning discomfort was gone. But her legs were still weak.

Cui Yun came forward to support her waist, "Today after court, Governor Zhou came to seek me out in private, hoping for me to be a matchmaker for his sister."

Shen Hua blinked her eyes.

"Is it brother?"

Cui Yun affirmed with a sound.

Shen Hua frowned, her spirits sinking: "Actually, after Ji Teng ascended the throne, when brother returned from Fengzhou that year, he must have felt heartbroken for a while and had the intention to let go of the past. Before the New Year, Mama took a liking to a girl for him. He didn’t agree at that time, but he also didn’t reject her outright."

The fondness of youth, although green and inexperienced, was indeed deeply etched in the heart.

What’s more, he had missed out in two lifetimes.

But people, they must look forward and keep moving on.

"At that time, Mama was ready to take the horoscopes to the Daoist School for a match, and if it was suitable, the matter would be nearly settled."

"But just then, I received a letter from Zheng Qianyu."

"Sister Xiao had a terrible childbirth and didn’t make it."

As she said this, disdain filled her eyes.

"Less than a month after she passed away, her husband immediately sought to remarry."

"When Sister Xiao married off, it was under family compulsion; the Wei Family was wealthy, with several concubines in the household, and what the Xiao Family did was practically selling their daughter."

Yet in this world, a man taking a few concubines is really nothing out of the ordinary. Even if he frequents the pleasure quarters, at most he’d be called a playboy.

The Wei Family treated Xiao Sese decently; at that time, her husband was also considered considerate. Everyone said that Xiao Sese was fortunate to have a good fate; losing Mr. Shen, but still having the Wei Family wanting to marry her.

If Zheng Qianyu could get the news, Xie Xun would undoubtedly be aware as well. At that time, Xie Xun left Shengjing. Rushing all the way, he beat up the man.

But what did Wei Dun say?

——I am the only son of my family, who needs to carry on the family lineage. Xiao Sese was living, I cherished her like a treasure, but now that she’s gone, I cannot linger in mourning forever.

——My mother said, a woman dying in childbirth is a great omen of misfortune, so I remarried quickly to cast away the bad luck. To disperse the evil spirits.

Hearing such words, she felt furious.

"Sister Xiao was the one who brother held dear and would not dare to touch, how could he dare!"

"After brother came back, I never heard Mama mention marriage again, and I didn’t know what else happened."

She only knew that night, the siblings sat together drinking.

She didn’t dare mention Xiao Sese a single word.

Xie Xun drank cup after cup, and Shen Hua didn’t dare to discourage him.

After who knows how long, she heard the self-mocking of Xie Xun, drunk on wine.

"The girl from the Chu Family that Mama chose is indeed a nice girl, but I just can’t delay her life like that."

He closed his eyes, a mix of reluctance and anguish in his faint voice: "I thought I had let go of her, but it seems, I’m still waiting for her."

Therefore, he would rather have no outcome than to settle for less.

In the main courtyard, Cui Rong was tiptoeing at the entrance, looking out. Upon seeing someone, her eyes lit up, and she quickly began to scorn.

It’s just a few steps away and she needs Uncle to support her; isn’t this being too delicate?

What, have her legs become disabled? Can she no longer walk?

"You’ve come rather late."

No sooner had she complained, she saw Shen Hua glare at Cui Yun.

Cui Rong: "Being married now, how can you still feel good about sleeping in? It’s almost time for lunch."

"I heard you and Uncle have to go to the palace again, huh? I’m talking to you, why are you pinching my Uncle? Did he offend you?"

"Rong."

"Yeah?"

Cui Yun: "Let’s go in."

Shen Hua scoffed: "You still know what shame is."

Cui Yun looked at her intently: "Children speak their mind without restraint; I really don’t care. But your ears, they’re so red they look like they’re bleeding."

Her serious little face tensed up.

Seeing Cui Rong hopping around ahead, no matter how she looked, the girl was unpleasant to the eye.

"Little ghost."

Cui Rong turned around.

Shen Hua intoned darkly: "I haven’t paid attention to your studies for a long time."

Cui Rong became alert.

Upon hearing this, Cui Yun too recalled something: "The teacher is getting old and has expressed his wish to resign, which I have granted."
