Can’t You Make It a Bit Cheaper

Xiao Chen took a glance at Jing Yue before sweeping his gaze over Ning XiangYuan for an instant. He pursed his lips helplessly and said, “I have no intention to.”
Once Xiao Chen’s words were out, Ning XiangYuan’s eyes were wide opened in disbelief. ‘Did Ninth Huang Shu just apologize to herself? Furthermore, Ninth Huang Shu actually addressed himself as ‘I’!’ This kind of huge shock stunned Ning XiangYuan that she lost her soul for quite some time.
“I just came to tell you, I’ll make the necessary arrangement about the matter of the gray wolves… the details on how you want to plan it, come to my study and talk about it later this evening…… I won’t disturb you guys.” Xiao Chen lifted his hand and rubbed Jing Yue’s head. That gentle action made ShangGuan LingLan and Ning Xiang Yuan completely petrified!
“I know!” Jing Yue avoided Xiao Chen’s hand in dislike. Every time Xiao Chen did that to her, she would feel like she was just like a small animal.
There was a slight movement on the corners of Xiao Chen’s mouth. He turned around and left. When Xiao Chen’s silhouette disappeared and could no longer be seen, ShangGuan LingLan and Ning XiangYuan, the two persons were still staring foolishly at the empty entrance of the courtyard . Jing Yue rolled her eyes. She patted the two persons’ shoulders, saying, “Get your souls back! Get your souls back!”
“Jing Yue, tell me honestly, how did you capture Ninth Huang Shu’s heart?” ShangGuan LingLan said as she excitedly stretched her arm over Jing Yue’s shoulder.
“Ninth Huang Shu is really gentle……” A faint blush appeared on Ning XiangYuan’s cheeks.
“You guys are two lovestruck fools!*” Jing Yue pinched both of their cheeks and laughingly said, “Do you want to see Xiao Chen everyday? Come, one glance is one hundred taels! Take out the money! I’ll let Xiao Chen sit here everyday for you to see!”
ShangGuan LingLan’s face darkened. She glared at Jing Yue and said, “A married woman’s heart is the most poisonous!”
“A…… I don’t have that much money, can’t you make it a bit cheaper?” Ning XiangYuan had an embarrassed expression on her face.
“Puchi…… Hahaha, YuanYuan, you really took that seriously ah!” Jing Yue and ShangGuan LingLan burst out laughing. They started to tease Ning XiangYuan, making the courtyard filled with laughter. Before leaving, the three of them talked about Cold Food Festival again for a while.

“Jing Yue, recover well…… We’ll meet again on Cold Food Festival.” ShangGuan LingLan said while patting Jing Yue’s shoulder.
Ning XiangYuan’s hand, which was clenching on a handkerchief, somewhat tightened as she looked at Jing Yue with a frown, “YueYue, we’ll leave first…… Should we go and inform Ninth Huang Shu that we’re leaving?”
“No need… He is like ‘Gods appear, ghosts disappear’* all day long, who knows where he has gone to.” Jing Yue rolled her eyes and said, “I’ll let Xing Er send you out of the fu.”
“YueYue, you’re really blessed… to be able to marry Ninth Huang Shu, this kind of gentle and handsome man.” Ning XiangYuan’s eyes were filled with envy.
“Stop it!” Jing Yue repeatedly waved her hand and said, “Did you guys forget about how previously several Huang Fei have died? All of them died the day before their marriage ah! Xiao Chen and I aren’t married yet, who knows whether or not I would really become like those more-than-ten-previous Huang Fei when that day comes ah!”
When Jing Yue said this, her hair suddenly stood on end. She already started to ponder about whether she should quickly run away when the wedding comes close.
“You’re talking nonsense!” ShangGuan LingLan and Ning XiangYuan’s expression changed. Obviously, they also recalled this one hurdle. They stayed in the Imperial city and had personally seen one dead body being carried away after another. It wasn’t a rumor, it was real. However some of them were somewhat overly exaggerated by those married ladies.

Lovestruck fool (花痴/ huāchī): Hua means flower, while chi means obsessed/fool. Huachi itself means obsessed about love (or beauty). Kekeke, sometimes we can jokingly call someone who’s obsessed with an idol as huachi. However, I can’t really put this in English so I used the one from yabla which is ‘lovestruck fool’. Gods appear, ghosts disappear (神出鬼没/ shénchūguǐmò): elusive, appear and disappear mysteriouslyYz: The seed of betrayal is growing…. (◣◢)
