Chapter 163 My Future Sister
She found a more comfortable position and slowly slid down to lean on Chu Qiu's shoulder.
Chu Qiu sat there upright, his body perfectly straight.
He bit his lip, turned his head and smelled her fragrance; she seemed even more alluring when she wasn't speaking.
He raised his arm and touched the tip of her nose with his fingertips, perhaps because he was used to being teased by Wu Ziyan.
His mind cleared up a bit, and he pinched her nose between his thumb and forefinger.
She suddenly couldn't catch her breath, let out a slightly angry snort, and slapped his hand.
Then he opened his eyes, his expression a mixture of arrogance and anger: "What!"
"I'll check if Your Highness is still alive."
He turned his head to one side, looking serious, but he was suppressing the ever-growing corners of his mouth.
Finally, he couldn't help but chuckle, but he still didn't dare to look Wu Ziyan in the eye.
Wu Ziyan ignored him and continued to lean on his shoulder, pretending to sleep.
Her motto was to seize every opportunity to rest, and Chu Qiu saw that she did not pursue the matter.
He looked back at her; her brows were slightly furrowed, and his thumb was pressed between her eyebrows.
He gently massaged her until his furrowed brows relaxed.
Before long, they arrived at the gate of the Grand Princess's residence.
Chu Qiu called her softly, but she didn't respond. She looked rather beautiful while sleeping.
He poked her cheek with his finger, but there was no reaction, so he shook it with his hand.
Her eyes darted around, then slowly opened, still misty.
She opened her mouth to yawn, only to realize that Chu Qiu was staring intently at her.
"arrive?"
He nodded
Seeing that he was stiff all over, he was probably feeling uncomfortable being alone with her.
Her fingers hooked his chin: "Let's go, wooden guard."
He took her hand and kissed her cheek.
Then his face turned completely red, like a crab about to explode.
Wu Ziyan was completely taken aback; this blockhead had actually taken the initiative?
But now that they had arrived at the entrance of the Grand Princess's residence, they couldn't be making out in the carriage.
The driver is still waiting outside, poor driver!
She was somewhat dazed, avoiding his eyes, and then pretended to shift her attention.
I reached out to lift the curtain of the carriage; perhaps because I had been sitting in one position for too long, my legs were a little numb.
She lost her balance and tilted to the side, but somehow ended up sitting on Chu Qiu's lap.
She could also feel that his body was perfectly straight.
She blushed. This man is so easy to... well... he's pretty good.
But she still needs to put away those flirtatious thoughts and focus on important matters.
To ease the awkwardness, she coughed twice and said, "My legs are a little numb. Could you help me out of the car?"
"Yes, Your Highness." He had been slightly flustered by her gentle touch and left.
They almost tripped over the frame in front of the carriage, but in the end they managed to get off and steadily help Wu Ziyan down.
The coachman looked at them with a strange, sarcastic gaze.
Being a coachman at the Fourth Princess's residence is truly a source of endless gossip.
The eavesdropping is endless, and everyone's talking about it!
Two people were standing at the door: one was Chu Yu, and the other was probably another confidant of Wu Chengji.
Anyway, Wu Ziyan had never met them; they were summoned by Wu Chengji to discuss matters.
Chu Yu was originally going to leave, but she was called back.
She greeted the two of them at the door. Wu Ziyan quite enjoyed chatting with Chu Yu, since she was very talkative.
"Sister Chu Yu, who is this?" Wu Ziyan greeted her warmly.
This made Chu Yu a little embarrassed. How could she let His Highness call her "sister"?
She glanced at the tall woman beside her, who had a simple and honest appearance.
Indeed, you can tell whether someone is a good person just by looking at their face.
"This is the General's deputy, Cheng Yi. He has always been in the provinces and has never returned to the capital."
"Cheng Yi greets the Fourth Prince." She clasped her hands in a fist salute, her manner extremely bold and charming.
Chu Yu's gaze, however, fell on her younger brother, Chu Qiu.
That shy change was clearly visible.
Chu Qiu was originally a rock, but now she's probably become as soft as silk.
She had initially worried that her younger brother was too strong-willed, but it seems she had been overthinking it.
She walked over and nudged Chu Qiu with her elbow.
A smile that was hard to describe appeared on her face, a smile that had the feel of an aunt's smile.
"Little brother, I saw it all! You've finally figured it out!"
"Tell me, how far do you want to go? When are you going to get married? Hehe." She whispered in his ear.
"Third sister, stop talking nonsense." He blushed, but remained serious.
"Alright, my brother, I won't talk nonsense. I'll go ask the Fourth Prince; she should be happy to tell me."
Chu Qiu grabbed Chu Yu's hand, her eyes pleading, "No."
His eyes suggested that he must have some unspeakable secret.
He stopped teasing his dull younger brother and put his arm around Wu Ziyan's shoulder, leading her into the mansion.
Wu Chengji sat in the hall, her face looking somewhat anxious.
Wu Ziyan approached and sat down next to her, disregarding any formalities of seniority, and poured himself a sip of tea.
Those who had never met Wu Ziyan were somewhat shocked.
In fact, this happened right in front of that ruthless general who could cut off enemy heads without batting an eye.
They drank tea so leisurely, without even bothering with proper etiquette.
Why does elder sister look so sad?
"How dare you ask? It's all your fault, and you're putting all the blame on me."
"Hey, sister, you're wrong to say that. Isn't this also an opportunity?"
"I haven't been to the post station to see Qi Zeyun yet; I'm waiting for you to come and report back to me."
"That's just how he is. You can see for yourself. I'm too lazy to explain further to you."
She handed him a booklet containing detailed information about Qi Zexuan and Qi Zeyun.
This was the first time Cheng Yi had met Wu Ziyan; he had heard many rumors about her before.
But now it seems that it's not as rumored.
Apart from their appearances being a perfect match, no other mannerisms could be discerned.
She and Chu Yu were still very close, and she quietly asked, "When did the Fourth Prince and the First Prince become so close? I heard he was like a quail before."
"Shh, do you know why you can't ascend? It's because you speak too bluntly. The real person is still standing right there, and you dare to ask me these questions?"
"Oh, right, I'm still very curious."
"Actually, the relationship between the First Prince and the Fourth Prince was quite good before, but they weren't this close."
"Your Highness, she dotes on her younger sister the most."
"Moreover, the Fourth Prince is extremely intelligent; she saved both my brother's and my lives."
"Was that the trick, the substitution? It was truly ingenious. It seems one cannot judge a book by its cover."
Chu Yu was still a little proud, thinking to herself, "Of course, this is my future little sister."
