“Uh— Miss, what are you doing?” Butterfly stopped her work, looking completely bewildered.
“Your son-in-law will be sleeping in the study from now on!” Jie’er announced loudly and impatiently.
“Ah? Why?” Butterfly was even more confused, with big question marks appearing over her head.
“Because I want to sleep in the bedroom!” Jie’er explained with rare patience, looking righteous and confident.
“Miss, this… this doesn’t seem right!” Butterfly looked conflicted, not knowing what to do…
…
“Are you going to do it quickly? Do you want to continue following me or not?” Jie’er couldn’t be bothered to entertain her and threatened harshly.
“Miss—”
“Butterfly, you can go down. I’ll talk to your miss,” Ye Yusheng spoke up in time to help Butterfly out of the awkward situation. Jie’er glared at him resentfully. What, when did this guy become so kind-hearted?
“What do you want to say to me?” Jie’er looked at him with an unkind gaze, her face clearly writing: I’m very unhappy right now, so get lost…
“You seem to have forgotten whose room this is?” Ye Yusheng ignored the murderous intent on her face, staring at her deeply, his eye corners still icy.
“You were the one who asked me to move here!” Jie’er dismissed it with a curl of her lips, defiantly looking back, her eyes seeming to say: Hmph, are you unhappy about me leaving? I’d be glad to go back!
“You don’t seem afraid of me anymore?” Ye Yusheng raised an eyebrow, a playful look crossing his face.
“What’s there to be afraid of? It’s not like you have three heads and six arms,” Jie’er glared at him unhappily, scoffing. As a young miss who wasn’t even afraid of ghosts, why would she be afraid of him?
That would be the best—” Ye Yusheng suddenly laughed like a ghost, damn it, who said he couldn’t laugh? This iceberg melting was quite destructive!
Jie’er hadn’t recovered from the shock of his smile, only seeing Ye Yusheng continue, “But I still hope you understand that you’re living in my place, and no one can decide my living arrangements here.”
“Also, I won’t be sleeping in the study.” After throwing out this last sentence, Ye Yusheng strode out, looking in a good mood.
“Wha… what?” By the time Jie’er came to her senses and wanted to say something, there was no trace of that guy.
“Hey—come back!” Jie’er stomped her foot unwillingly, shouting loudly in the direction Ye Yusheng had left.
“Miss, the son-in-law has already gone far!” Die’er walked in from outside, carefully reminding her.
Jie’er shot her a murderous glance, and the girl immediately obediently shut her mouth, not daring to say another word…
…
When Ye Yusheng appeared again in the Mu Zhu courtyard, Jie’er was spreading bedding on the floor. He unconsciously frowned, “What are you doing?”
“Isn’t it obvious? I’m making a floor bed!” Jie’er looked at him with a “you’re an idiot” expression, thoroughly annoyed by his obvious question.
“You’re going to sleep?” Ye Yusheng seemed slightly surprised.
“It’s you who’s going to sleep!” Jie’er helpfully reminded him.
“No—” Jie’er glanced at the bedding on the floor and finally concluded coolly.
What, not sleeping?
Jie’er was immediately angry. After working hard all day, this guy wanted to dismiss her with just “not sleeping”? She put her hands on her hips and said unceremoniously, “Then you’ll have to trouble the prince to sleep in the study.”
Ye Yusheng completely ignored her words and walked directly to the big bed behind Jie’er, saying casually, “I’m tired!”
“I told you you’re not allowed to sleep on the bed!” Seeing Ye Yusheng about to lie down, Jie’er rushed over to grab him. Unexpectedly, she ran too quickly and couldn’t stop, directly crashing into his back. Ye Yusheng instinctively turned to catch her, but lost his balance, and they both fell onto the bed in an ambiguous position with her on top.
The first time she’d been this close to him, Jie’er suddenly realized he was really handsome! She stared, somewhat dazed, her hand unconsciously caressing his face.
“Are you trying to seduce me?” Ye Yusheng’s slightly hoarse voice suddenly sounded by Jie’er’s ear, his warm breath brushing her ear. Jie’er jolted as if electrified.
Realizing her impropriety, she hurriedly tried to get up, but the hand around her waist suddenly tightened, forcing her to stay still. Jie’er swallowed difficultly and tried to sound calm: “Who’s seducing you? Don’t flatter yourself. Let me up!”
“Sleep!” Ye Yusheng ignored her struggles, using his right hand to move her to the inner side of the bed, firmly holding her waist, closing his eyes and saying nothing more.
Damn it, how could she possibly sleep like this! Jie’er opened her eyes wide, looking at Ye Yusheng, unable to understand what this guy was up to.
…
Jie’er unconsciously frowned, catch that guy’s heart? She disdains that, people can say whatever they want, she doesn’t care. But this girl actually wants to pair her up with that guy, hmph, hmph…

Jie’er deliberately teased her: “Butterfly, you’re not young anymore, right? Do you have someone you like? Let me find you a match – how about the Left Deputy General of the Prince’s mansion?”
The Left Deputy General was tall and burly, a rough-looking man with a full beard. Having been in and out of the Prince’s mansion for over a month, he had been seen several times. Every time Butterfly encountered him, she would hide behind Jie’er in fright. Now, hearing Jie’er wanted to marry her off to him, Butterfly was so scared she almost cried.
“Young… young mistress… Butterfly is just a… a small dowry maid… How could the Left Deputy General possibly… possibly take a fancy to me… Please don’t joke, young mistress!”
“I’m not joking! Don’t worry, with me and the Prince speaking on your behalf, he will definitely agree. It’s just taking a concubine, what’s the big deal.” Jie’er spoke casually, seeing the girl almost jumping in anxiety, which made her feel much more satisfied.
Haha… this is so satisfying, let’s see if she dares to be smart-alecky again…
“Young mistress, Butterfly really doesn’t want to get married. Can Butterfly stay by your side for life?” Butterfly pleaded with teary eyes.
“How can that be? The most important thing for a girl is to marry well and have a good home. You’ve been so good to me, how can I ruin your lifetime happiness? Rest assured, I will prepare a generous dowry for you.” Jie’er pretended not to see her fear and continued.
“Woo… young mistress!” Butterfly finally burst into tears.
“Cough, alright, stop crying. Since you’re not ready to marry now, you can stay with me for a few more years. We’ll talk about marriage later.” Jie’er cleared her throat, barely suppressing her laughter. Since she’d teased her and achieved her goal, she’ll let her off for now!
Alas! People as kind as her are rare in this world. Don’t admire her too much!! Hehe…
Seeing the girl still standing there wiping tears, Jie’er couldn’t help but tap her forehead. “Didn’t you say the Madam and the Prince are waiting for me? Hurry and help me get ready. Do you want people to say I’m deliberately being difficult?”
“What does ‘being difficult’ mean?” The little girl, with tears still on her eyelashes, blinked and looked at her, her face full of confusion.
“Uh, it means deliberately making people wait,” Jie’er awkwardly explained.

Without waiting for Ye Lüsheng to respond, Jie’er continued walking towards the elderly lady in the first seat, her face showing remorse as she said, “Mother, I’m sorry for keeping you waiting.”
“No matter, the day is still early anyway. Since you’re here, let’s prepare to set off—” The elderly lady smiled, gently patting Jie’er’s hand to comfort her.
