After I traveled through the book, I fought back in the Hou Mansion

Chapter 342 I shouldn't regret it

Chapter 342

"Huh?" When Aunt Zhang heard this, her worry grew even more intense. She hurriedly asked, "Is the young lady injured? Did she get bumped or bruised?"

Chuntao and Chunxing hurried to comfort her. Chuntao pulled Madam Zhang towards the kitchen, saying softly, "Madam, don't worry. The young lady was just bumped into and frightened. She's fine. Look, she was fine when she came back, wasn't she?"

Chun Xing also echoed: "Yes, Ma'am, you can rest assured with me here."

After hearing what they said, Aunt Zhang was relieved to remember that although Luo Shuiyao had looked a little strange, she showed no signs of injury. However, she couldn't help but glare at Chun Xing and scolded her, "You are just stronger, but you lack experience. That's why the young lady was so frightened today. You must be more careful in the future and protect her well!"

Chun Xing finally mustered up the courage to respond, but Nanny Zhang's words made her shrink her neck and she begged for mercy: "Good Nanny, please forgive me this time. I will never let this happen again."

Chuntao didn't speak up for Chunxing, but just laughed secretly on the side. This action made Chunxing roll her eyes at her several times.

.........

Inside, Luo Shuiyao entered the house, dragged her exhausted body to the bed, and collapsed onto it. She recalled everything that had happened today. Even though it was over, she still felt her face flush and was filled with embarrassment. She thought to herself, I really hope I won't see Ye Yunzhou again in the future, but reality doesn't allow it. Things at the palace still need to be taken care of, and hiding is impossible. Thinking of this, she buried her head in the quilt in frustration.

After lying there for a while like a cowering quail, Luo Shuiyao finally raised her head. She took the visiting card she had casually tossed on the bed and slowly opened it. As she had expected, it was an invitation from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, inviting her to visit.

Several days had passed since she moved out of the Marquis's residence, and Luo Shuiyao had originally planned to visit the Right Prime Minister's residence within the next couple of days. Firstly, she wanted to inform the Right Prime Minister and his wife of her departure; secondly, she had promised them that she would look after their son, and she couldn't break her promise. Unfortunately, due to palace duties, she had to put her plans on hold. The Right Prime Minister's residence had sent her an invitation, presumably because they had already prepared for the recognition of her relationship, thus inviting her to their home.

After reading the visiting card, she folded it up solemnly, stood up and put it into her dressing box. At this time, Chun Xing's voice came from outside, calling her.

After Luo Shuiyao finished her bath and meal, she collapsed onto the bed. She hadn't rested well yesterday, and after so much had happened today, she was exhausted. She needed to rest a bit before entering the palace. After all, treating the emperor was no small matter, and there was no room for carelessness. Naturally, she had to be fully alert.

.........

The night was dark and the moon was high. Luo Shuiyao slowly awoke from her sleep, her mind feeling much clearer. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and slowly sat up. The room was silent, broken only by the occasional chirping of insects outside the window. She checked the time, thinking it was time to enter the palace, but why hadn't Ye Yunzhou arrived yet?

As she thought this, she withdrew her gaze from the window and frowned slightly. Turning her head, she was startled by the person sitting at the table. After taking a closer look at who it was, Luo Shuiyao swallowed the scream that was about to burst into her throat. A hint of sarcasm crossed her face, and she sneered, "Brother, you are so polite, but how could you be so ignorant of etiquette as to barge into a girl's boudoir without permission?"

Ye Yunzhou didn't seem to take her sarcasm seriously. He simply raised his hand to light the candle on the table. As the candlelight flickered, he spoke slowly, "Since you call me brother, then we are family. You're dressed neatly. I don't think it's wrong for me to enter my sister's room, right?"

Luo Shuiyao was choked by his words and was speechless for a moment. She had to go to the palace that night, so she was already dressed neatly, and there was nothing shameful about her. But even so, this was no excuse for him to repeatedly intrude on her room without permission. Her face immediately fell, and she pretended to be shocked. "No matter how neatly I'm dressed, even if I'm your sister, how can a big brother go into his sister's room in the middle of the night?"

Seeing her acting-addicted look, Ye Yunzhou couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and walked towards her. Luo Shuiyao couldn't figure out his intentions for a moment, and felt a little flustered, but she still forced herself to remain calm, looking straight at him, trying to keep her face calm.

Ye Yunzhou bent down slightly and met her eyes. With a hint of teasing in his eyes, he said, "Since you think it's inappropriate for me to enter your boudoir, why do you indulge me again and again?"

Luo Shuiyao's expression froze for a moment when she heard this, but she quickly reacted and retorted, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

"Haha," Ye Yunzhou chuckled softly, a faint arc at the corner of his mouth, and a meaningful light flashed in his eyes. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Luo Shuiyao with a smile: "So my perception was wrong. Sister, you sleep so deeply every day and don't know I've been here, right?"

After saying that, he tilted his head slightly and stared at Luo Shuiyao with interest, as if he wanted to see through her inner thoughts.

Luo Shuiyao was surprised to hear him actually expose this matter. Her eyes flickered for a moment, then revealed an expression of disbelief. She demanded, "You mean, you come to my room every day? Big Brother... shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Ye Yunzhou showed no sign of guilt. He lowered his body slightly again and moved closer to her, his eyes fixed on her. "I thought you knew why I came here every day."

Seeing that there was no escape, Luo Shuiyao dodged to the side, stood up and avoided him, saying: "I don't know why you are here, but I hope that big brother will not do this kind of thing again in the future."

Then she looked up at the moonlight outside the window and changed the subject: "It's getting late. We should hurry to the palace and not delay treating His Majesty."

Luo Shuiyao thought to herself that Ye Yunzhou was being too abnormal today, completely different from his usual behavior. She couldn't help but feel a little regretful. She should not have exposed this matter earlier.
