After the heroine was robbed, save the paranoid villain

Yan Yu was sleeping soundly at this time. She was curled up in a sky-blue brocade quilt with gold embroidered precious patterns. Her black hair spread out over the pillow. Her snow-white shoulders and arms were exposed outside the quilt. The soft light fell on her body and face. Apart from the bellyband straps hanging around her neck, the only things left were the two strings of red agate pearls on her wrists.

Xiao Chengji stared at her for a while, then raised his hand to wake her up.

Yan Yu rubbed his eyes gently and slowly sat up.

When she stood up, her thick black hair fell on her snow-white shoulders. She frowned slightly and reached out to untie Xiao Chengji's clothes. She asked softly, "Have you eaten yet?"

Xiao Chengji said "hmm".

Yan Yu was still very sleepy. He rubbed his eyes again, untied his belt and threw it aside: "Take it off yourself, and go make me some tea."

Xiao Chengji mixed her a cup of rose dew and brought it to Yan Yu's lips. Yan Yu lowered her head, took two sips, and lay back in the quilt.

Xiao Chengji took off his clothes and got on the bed, holding Yan Yu in his arms: "You slept for so long during the day, haven't you gotten enough sleep?"

Yan Yu shook his head.

Nothing.

Perhaps because he was born weak, Yan Yu was a bit sleepy and liked to go to bed early.

She hugged Xiao Chengji's waist tightly: "Your Highness, kiss me."

Xiao Chengji tapped her nose: "Stop it."

Yan Yu leaned in his arms and kissed his face: "Then I'll go to sleep."

Xiao Chengji waited for her for a long time but she only kissed him on the face. Yan Yu was still finding a comfortable place to lie in his arms. Xiao Chengji lifted her chin and bent down to kiss her.

After being kissed by him for quite a while, Yan Yu finally felt a little embarrassed.

She didn't want to do this. Xiao Chengji was too aggressive. Yan Yu felt a dull pain at the root of her tongue and her lips were a little swollen. She just wanted to give him a gentle kiss before going to bed.

Xiao Chengji wiped the slightly red corners of Yan Yu's lips with his fingertips and said, "Okay, go to sleep."

Hmm... Yan Yu is not so sleepy now.

Xiao Chengji patted her back gently and coaxed her to sleep.

Huoha outside was very nervous, fearing that the two gods inside would fight, and that they, the little ghosts, would suffer in the end.

He couldn't help but blame Ruidong: "Don't you have a brain? How dare you say anything?"

Ruidong felt very aggrieved: "If I don't tell the truth, do I have to make up a lie to deceive the prince?"

As for the masters above, Yan Yu’s daily teaching is to let them tell the truth.

Now Yan Yu is in power in the mansion. She holds the power in the inner house, and the maidservants in front of her are also in power. Ruidong is Yan Yu's maidservant after all, so she straightened her back and questioned Huo Ha: "Eunuch Huo, if it were you, what would you say?"

Huo Ha didn't expect that this girl would dare to talk back to him.

He raised his hand and wanted to slap Ruidong, but then he thought that one has to look at the owner before beating the dog. This girl is the princess's chief maid. If he beat her today, the princess might be resentful and beat him tomorrow.

Huo Ha said with a cold face: "Be smarter next time. Go, go, go away."

There was no movement inside at all, no sound of quarreling or throwing things, and no one went in to bring water or other things.

The worry that Huoha had wasted on him slowly settled down.

After waking up the next day, Yan Yu felt as if the sky had fallen on him.

The red coral bonsai that Xiao Jiashan sent yesterday was smashed to pieces by Xiao Chengji and cannot be repaired.

Yan Yu couldn't help but complain to the people in the room: "With such a precious item, why didn't you stop him?"

Ruidong lowered his head: "I dare not..."

Although the four of them were Yan Yu's maids and had nothing to fear when working in the mansion, they did not dare to speak to Xiao Chengji. Seeing Xiao Chengji was like seeing the King of Hell.

He didn't even dare to speak, let alone stop Xiao Chengji from doing anything.

Yan Yu looked at Huo Ha and said, "What about you? You have followed His Highness for so many years. Could it be that those things on the Cangfengtai were also thrown by your Highness?"

Huoha: “…”

That's absolutely true.

As for the things on the Cangfengtai, Xiao Chengji was allowed to smash whatever he wanted, because he was the son of the king.

The emperor was not more extravagant to himself than to his beloved son, who had been spoiled since childhood and had a bad temper that allowed him to be beaten at will.

Huo Ha didn't dare to talk back to Yan Yu. He understood that ever since the princess got married, no one in the palace could let her suffer. The consequences of talking back to her might be even more terrible than talking back to the prince.

Yan Yu tore the fragments apart and couldn't help but sigh.

If I had known, I would have asked someone to send it back last night. Now this thing was broken by Xiao Chengji and it can’t be repaired. I really don’t know what to do.

Xiao Chengji walked in from outside. He was wearing a thin riding suit. He had just come back from sword practice and was still a little hot. Huo Ha quickly signaled to the maids, asking them to prepare some hot water.

Yan Yu looked at Xiao Chengji: "Why did you drop it?"

Xiao Chengji took a look and said, "It's ugly and an eyesore. What kind of rubbish is worthy of being placed here? Is this part of your dowry? Or was it given to you by some foolish person?"

Yan Yu was not very happy: "It was sent by the Fifth Prince."

"So it was him. Who else did I say had such poor taste?" Xiao Chengji sneered. "It's hard for him to give such a shabby thing. I've never been as petty as him."

Yan Yu didn't get his explanation, but instead heard him talking nonsense, which made her even angrier: "Do you know how much this is worth?"

Lots and lots of silver.

Yan Yu really feels sorry for me.

Even if I don't return it, I can still make a lot of money by selling it.

Before he was in charge, Yan Yu felt that if some things were broken, they would be broken. But now that he is in charge, he realizes how much the expenses of the palace are.

Xiao Chengji asked Huo Ha to go to his private storehouse to get two better red corals. Huo Ha hurried over and soon asked a few eunuchs to carry two four-foot-tall ones and place them in the appropriate positions.

"It's not a rare thing." Xiao Chengji said, "A few years ago, when the small country in Southeast Asia paid tribute, they presented me with seven or eight trees, as well as some red and white coral beads. I'll ask them to bring these beads to you to make jewelry."

However, this thing can only be seen occasionally in the homes of the most noble and powerful, and it is really difficult to see it in the homes of ordinary powerful and wealthy people. Before, the only thing Yan Yu could see in the Anqing Marquis Mansion was a red coral string.

Yan Yu: "... Third Master, you are really rich."

"Average," Xiao Chengji said calmly, "a little better than Xiao Jiashan."

Yan Yu is finally not sad anymore and doesn't want to cause trouble for Xiao Chengji anymore.

Although she usually hates it when people pretend to be rich in front of her, and she thinks people who like to pretend are annoying, but Xiao Chengji is like this... he is really rich, and most people can't pretend like this.

It's better to give some face to our prince and support him.
