The daughter of the Marquis is too delicate, the abstinent prince pinches her waist and loves her

Chapter 43: Not enough success
Sheng Yi accompanied her for a meal, then walked out with small steps and closed the door.

Sheng Yunqing leaned against the table and looked up. The moonlight shining through the window pane was soft, just like the gentle eyes of a mother looking at her lovingly.

"Yier is a really good kid. He will inherit your uncle's title in the future, and the Marquisate will surely flourish.

Sheng Yunqing smiled gently and said, "That's right, Dad."

The Duke's Mansion of the White Kingdom.

The room was dark, with only a little moonlight shining through the window pane and falling on the back of the man's old hand.

A guard walked in from outside and reported to the people in the room: "Master, the lady...she was beaten to death by the servants sent by King Ye."

The man sat on the throne, patting the armrests regularly with his hands, closing his eyes in deep thought, his voice low and hoarse, but full of energy: "Has the matter been exposed?"

The guard nodded and said, "Yes, the case of the Marquis' Mansion was turned upside down by King Ye, and the matter also involved Miss Qiuyao and Miss Jinxiu..."

"Hmph..." Duke Bai snorted coldly, and said, "She is more likely to cause trouble than to help. If she hadn't neglected Sheng Yunqing and instead ran away, everything would have been peaceful."

He picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, saying, "Forget it. She didn't involve the Duke's Mansion. She was sensible."

"This is about the murder of an important official of the country. The Marquis has already written a memorial to the court. Madam Gu massacred the Marquis's mansion in the past. Now the Marquis's mansion is unwilling to arrange her funeral. What does the master mean?"

"If they don't do it, we won't do it either. Don't act rashly. Just treat it as the death of a servant."

"Yes."

He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Ye Jinchen, keeping him around will be a nuisance sooner or later, so it's better to get rid of him as soon as possible."

"Master is really far-sighted."

The sky cleared up the next day.

Sheng Yunqing was sitting on the swing in the backyard reading a book.

Ever since Bai's death, she felt that the air in the mansion had become much fresher. The foul smell that originally filled the sky had dissipated, making people feel comfortable.

"What are you reading, Junior Sister?" Lu Changxuan appeared from behind her and snatched the book from her hand.

Sheng Yunqing frowned, his face full of impatience, and said, "Lu Changxuan, are you annoying?"

Lu Changxuan flipped through a few pages of the book casually and said, "What's so interesting about the book? Go shopping with me. This is my first time in Beijing."

"go by yourself!"

"Qing'er, Chang Xuan helped you a lot yesterday, so it's only right that you accompany him." Sheng Yuting said.

"Listen, even Old Sheng said so. Good morning, Old Sheng." Lu Changxuan greeted Yuzhan with a smile.

"Who are you calling Old Sheng? You have no respect for your elders!" Sheng Yunqing glared at him.

Lu Changxuan made a mischievous face at her and raised his hand to pull out the jade hairpin from Sheng Yunqing's hair.

Ye Jinchen had just arrived at the backyard when he saw this scene.

The beauty's black hair spread out like an inky black waterfall, with a few strands blown up by the wind, making her skin, which was as white as snow, stand out even more.

Lu Changxuan held high in his hand the smoky blue jade hairpin that she often wore, his face full of teasing.

"give me back!"

"If you don't want to return it, then I won't return it!"

Ye Jinchen's hand bones twisted with a sound, he quickly stepped forward, snatched the hairpin from his hand, and kicked him far away.

Sheng Yunqing opened his mouth in shock, and when he came to his senses, he exclaimed, "Ye Jinchen, what are you doing?" Lu Changxuan held his waist and thrashed on the ground a few times, wailing, "Ouch, my old waist is going to break..."

Ye Jinchen gritted his teeth and said, "What are you doing? Do you think you can touch Qing'er's hair accessories so easily?!"

Lu Changxuan stood up with difficulty, holding his stomach and said, "What are you making a fuss about? My junior sister and I have always played like this when we were on the mountain."

"You!" Ye Jinchen was furious and grabbed his collar aggressively.

"Stop, stop!" Sheng Yunqing pushed the two men away, took the hairpin from Ye Jinchen's hand, and put it in Lu Changxuan's hand.

"Sheng Yunqing you!" Ye Jinchen stared at her in disbelief. Before he could say anything, she pulled his sleeve hard and walked away.

The two walked behind the rockery, and Sheng Yunqing looked at Lu Changxuan, holding the hairpin and making excuses with a feeling of grievance.

"Lao Sheng, you have to make the decision for me. He was the one who kicked me out without any explanation!"

Ye Jinchen frowned. After Sheng Yunqing pulled him away, Lu Changxuan not only did not follow, but instead paid more attention to the hairpin in his hand. It was really unbelievable.

"He has a fetish?"

"Ahem..." Sheng Yunqing coughed lightly and said, "It's all a misunderstanding. Just listen to me."

"No! Even if I'm a fetishist, I can't like your things!" Ye Jinchen was so angry that he was about to rush out again.

Sheng Yunqing held him back and said, "That's not an ordinary hairpin, that's my father!"

Ye Jinchen stopped and asked, "What?"

Sheng Yunqing lowered his head, picked up a strand of hair and twirled it between his fingertips, and told him the whole story.

Ye Jinchen was silent for a moment, then smiled faintly and said, "That's great."

Sheng Yunqing raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's so good?"

Ye Jinchen raised his hand and stroked her face, saying, "It turns out that your uncle has always been by your side, so you are not alone. How can this not be good?"

Sheng Yunqing felt warm in his heart, and his clear eyes sparkled.

Ye Jinchen suddenly paused, held her shoulders, and said, "Then we...were seen by your father?"

"We what?" Sheng Yunqing raised his eyebrows in confusion.

Ye Jinchen leaned over and gently kissed her lips, whispering, "Like this."

Sheng Yunqing covered her mouth, her face suddenly flushed, she lowered her head and whispered: "My father's energy is still very weak, he sleeps most of the time, when I met you, he was asleep, you...don't worry, when you saw me, I let him sleep, didn't see, didn't hear..."

Hearing this, Ye Jinchen let out a breath.

He looked at Sheng Yunqing's flushed face, her falling hair making her look even more charming. He felt a rolling sensation in his throat, raised his hand and stroked her long black hair, and said, "Even if Lu Changxuan has a good relationship with your father, how could he pull out your hairpin like this? Don't let him touch you again in the future."

He pulled out the platinum carved cloud hairpin from his hair, gently lifted up her long hair, and braided her hair, saying, "A woman's hair should only be seen with it loose in front of her husband."

Sheng Yunqing looked up at him, her fingertips moving gently, completely different from his usual reckless temperament. Her stern face seemed to soften a lot under her loose long hair, shining with the light of morning light, like a banished immortal.

She blinked and said, "What about you?"

"what?"

Sheng Yunqing snorted and said, "Your hair is loose, can anyone see it?"

Ye Jinchen frowned, put on the hairpin for her, then turned around and said, "Pei Xuan."
