The food was placed on the table, and Yu Wantai and his son walked in one after the other.

"I'm lucky today. I caught five big fish as long as my arms. I'll stew them tomorrow! By the way, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are coming back tomorrow, so I'll bring two back to the Yue family for them to try." Old Prince Rong showed off happily as he entered the room.

Princess Rong took the wet towel from the servant and wiped the old prince's hands and face while scolding him, "It's just fishing, but you never get enough of it. Your hands and face are frozen like ice. Your old bones are no match for young people, so how can you stand such humiliation!"

The old Prince Rong was scolded like a child, but he was not annoyed at all. He cheerfully retorted, "How can my old bones not compare to those young people? Just pick up a young man and I guarantee that I can easily beat him down."

Princess Rong said unhappily, "Okay, okay, I know you're capable, okay? Come to the table and eat, the children are waiting!"

There seemed to be no rule of not talking while eating at the dinner table in Prince Rong's mansion. Princess Rong and the old prince were bickering constantly, with Yan Muxi interjecting at the right time. Yu Wantai was the quietest one, and he hardly spoke a word during both meals.

It was already dark when they returned to Shuangxinju. Yu Wantai went straight into the bedroom. Seeing this, Yan Muxi turned around and went to the side hall.

In addition to four personal maids, Yan Muxi's dowry also included dozens of servants, assisted by Guan Mama, while Qiuzhu was responsible for arranging their accommodation and tasks.

Normally, Yan Muxi didn't care much about the trivial matters in the courtyard, but today he asked about all the details, even asking clearly where the groom was arranged to live.

Only when there were no more questions to ask did Yan Muxi reluctantly return to the bedroom. Yu Wantai had already changed into his pajamas and was leaning on the couch. He must have finished washing up.

She bowed and said, "I'll go wash up first."

"Yeah," Yu Wantai responded softly without looking up.

Yan Muxi walked a few steps and then turned back. "I heard that the palace has several girls without status. I have already entered the palace. I wonder if I should give them a higher status?"

Yu Wantai raised his eyes and asked, "Does the Crown Prince think that they should be given higher positions?"

Her peach blossom eyes looked over, and there seemed to be anger in them. Yan Muxi's heart skipped a beat and she quickly explained, "About this matter, my opinion is not important. What's important is the prince's thoughts. I'm afraid that the prince has forgotten about them, so I want to remind him."

"I have a very good memory, no need to remind me." After saying this, Yu Wantai lowered his eyes again, obviously not wanting to argue anymore.

Yan Muxi pursed her lips and put the virtuous words she had prepared back into her stomach.

She just didn't understand. The dog prince knew that she was menstruating and it was inconvenient for him to serve her. There were a lot of women waiting for her in the palace, and he had no choice. Why did he always stay with her?

The two of them were always in such an awkward situation. She felt like she had to be careful even when breathing. It was so uncomfortable all day long.

After washing up and coming out of the bathroom, they were the only couple left in the room. Seeing Yu Wantai still lying on the couch like yesterday, Yan Muxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

I walked to the bed and prepared to climb on to sleep, and found a palm-sized wooden box next to the pillow.

There was a palace seal on the wooden box. Yan Muxi thought that Yu Wantai had dropped it casually, so he picked up the box and planned to put it on a shelf nearby.

"The key to my warehouse is in the box. When you are free, send someone to tidy it up." Yu Wantai suddenly spoke.

Yan Muxi paused in her action of putting the box down, and Yu Wantai handed her the key to the private vault, presumably intending to let her manage his money.

But would a dandy man like Yu Wantai, who spends money like water, be happy to be managed by others? Besides, she didn't want to manage it. She had too much money of her own to manage, so how could she be willing to be a housekeeper for others?

"If the prince is in need of a servant to take care of the accounts, I happen to have an extra one. Can I help the prince manage the money?"

Yu Wantai asked back, "Could it be that the Crown Prince's Consort thinks that I am someone who is in need of servants?" He paused and said, "If I give it to you, keep it. It is not customary for the Rong Palace to let the daughter-in-law spend her own dowry. No matter how generous your dowry is, keep it well. From now on, all the flowers in the courtyard will be provided from my private storehouse."

Dowry is a woman's private property and should not be used for daily expenses. Yan Muxi had no reason to refute and could only agree obediently, "Okay, I will listen to you, Master."

"You have to get up early and go back home tomorrow, so Princess, please go to bed early!" After saying this, Yu Wantai took the square pillow that he was leaning on behind him aside and lay down on the low couch.

The couch was narrow and short, and Yu Wantai was rather tall, so he could barely stretch his body out by lying flat on it.

Yan Muxi thought about it, and with the purpose of pleasing her husband, she tried to test him, "I am small in stature, how about you let the prince sleep on the bed, and I will sleep on the low couch instead?"

"No, it's too crowded!" Yu Wantai said subconsciously, and then immediately made up for it, "I like to sleep on a small couch, it's more comfortable to squeeze in."

Yan Muxi stopped forcing himself after hearing that. It takes time to please someone, as it takes time to achieve results.

The next day, Yin Xia came to wake him up and deliberately observed Yu Wantai's clothes, and found that there were subtle stains on them.

Last night she had specially checked the prince's robes and confirmed that they were brand new and clean. Moreover, she did not see him go out when she was on guard at night, so the stains on the robes must have been stained inside the house.

While washing up, Yinxia asked in a roundabout way. Seeing that her young lady still looked confused, she was almost certain that the prince must have climbed onto her young lady's bed at night.

As a personal maid, Yin Xia knows Yan Muxi better than anyone else. She is able to eat and sleep well, and can sleep until sunrise every day without being woken up. After getting enough sleep during the day, she can sleep as usual at night and will not be woken up even by thunder.

Given her young lady's personality, if someone climbed into her bed in the middle of the night, she would hardly know. But she didn't understand, the prince and the young lady were already husband and wife, if they wanted to sleep together, they could just sleep together, why did they have to be so sneaky?

Moreover, the prince does not seem to be a shy person, so there is no reason for him to do this secretly. Could it be that the prince climbed into the young lady's bed not consciously, but was sleepwalking?

On the third day of her wedding, Yan Muxi still got up late.

Yin Xia and others called out outside the door on time, but Yan Muxi didn't hear it and woke up Yu Wantai instead.

Yu Wantai opened the door with a cold face, glanced around, and closed the door without saying a word. His cold eyes were more frightening than a sword.

Yinxia and the others didn't dare to shout anymore and could only stand outside the door and wait, but it was too late again.

Fortunately, after yesterday's experience, Yan Muxi's mentality has calmed down. After all, she is going back to her parents' home, so it doesn't matter if she goes there earlier or later.

Today, they returned home in a five-wheel-drive carriage. As soon as the carriage arrived at the entrance of the alley, the housekeeper went out with a group of servants to greet them. Not long after, Yan Yongchen, Su Shi, Qian Manman and others also came out to greet them.

"Why did you come back just now? Mother has been waiting for you since breakfast." When Yan Muxi got off the carriage, Qian Manman pulled her over and looked her up and down. "You look well, so you shouldn't have been tortured..."
