Chapter 181: Unexpected Call

To tell the truth, all the brothers and their father also missed those both juniors,two of the Yun brothers were currently out on an inspection, so they couldn’t join in their conversation, but seeing the ladies so worried and anxious, couldn’t help but to press it down.

Just as they were contemplating, one of the Capital guards runs over in the mansion, looking for the Yun family members.

“Your Highness! I’ve bought the news. The Prince’s are entering the Capital city soon!”

.

.

.

Soon, the cavalry and troops enter the Capital, with all the General and Commanders being at the front. Yun Shu was also among one of them, riding a horse right beside the Crown Prince of the Empire, Yun Si.

The bustling crowd and people’s happy, welcoming faces made Yun Shu feel warm in her heart, assuring her that all this wasn’t just a dream, but a reality. And she was really back from that gruesome battlefield full of enemies and stench of blood.

’I really am back. Welcome back, Yun Shu, welcome back…’

She thinks as she sighs in relief. Looking back at the carriage, she subtly smiles.

Bai Yunxian peeks from inside, curious to see the crowd full of people. By now, he has already changed into his disguise as a female again.

This time, he also made a great contribution in the war and was praised by the Emperor himself through a letter. The Emperor Yun also recognized his work and promised him a reward in the Royal court, which was the first time occurance in the history.

Though this recognition didn’t mean much to him, because Bai Yunxian wasn’t even a woman to begin with, rewarding him with something meant for a woman wouldn’t come in handy either.

But happiness lies in helping people, Bai Yunxian didn’t really feel that as an accomplishment. As if his heart was frozen, the people he took care of and saved sometimes felt like clay dolls, just one tight grasp from him, and he felt as if they would break down and melt.

However,

Bai Yunxian’s frozen heart finally flattered when Yun Shu jumped in excitement after reading the letter and hugged him tightly into her embrace, as if she was on cloud nine.

“Congratulations for the achievement! Wow, I can’t believe I’m so happy right now! Muah! Muah! Muah! My wife is the best!” Out of excitement, Yun Shu ended up kissing him multiple times before coming to her senses.

’Oh no… I made a mistake…’

Yun Shu was flustered as she looked away and scratched the back of her head and said, “Sorry, I just got too excited just now. Forgive me if I startled you.”

However, seeing there was no response from the other side, Yun Shu sneakily turned around to see what Bai Yunxian’s expression was, only to be stunned and dumbfounded.

“…!”

“… It’s alright. I don’t really care…” Bai Yunxian muttered as he looked away from Yun Shu, but the redness in his nap couldn’t be hidden from her eyes.

’What? Is he actually feeling embarrassed instead of nausea? Should I take it as a good sign of improvement in our relationship?’

Yun Shu chuckled softly as she didn’t point out the obvious and pretended not to know, “Well, alright then. Since it was a great achievement, tonight I’ll prepare a fist especially for you.”

’Come to think of it, he actually does look pretty cute when he acts all shy and innocent like that. It makes me wanna…’

’Wait! What am I even thinking?’ Yun Shu was confused by her own thoughts, and immediately dismissed them for the greater good.

“Mhmm.” Bai Yunxian nodded his head in agreement as he made a small sound, both of them went silent with a comfortable atmosphere.

A smile came along Yun Shu’s face the moment she thought of that night, and at that time, among the crowd of people, she finally spotted her third brother who was madly waving his hand at her, indicating something.

’What is he saying? I can’t understand.’ Yun Shu thought, but seeing her brothers after a long time, a warm feeling engulfed her chest which bought an even bigger smile on her face.

“Ahhhhh! Lord Yuuuuunnnn!”

“Lord Yun smiled just now!”

“I’m dying! How could he look so cute when he smiles like that!”

“My heart! Someone hold me, I’m dying! Ahh!”

“I’ll faint! Why does he look so handsome?!”

“I never knew the Playboy prince is actually returning as a war hero!”

“Lord Yun, marry me!”

“Marry me!”

“No, no, me! Marry me!”

Hearing the screams coming from the front row of people, Yun Shu’s smile vanished slowly.

She looked up at her brothers, only to see both of them pinching their forehead in frustration, admitting defeat.

’So, this is what they meant?’

“Ah, I’m screwed.” Yun Shu murmured in resignation as she forced a stoic smile on her face.

Whatever world this is, fan girls are scarier than anything. And once Yun Shu gains popularity among the female population within the Capital, trouble will keep coming her way.

Yun Shu wondered why none of them called out for Yun Si, when he always acted like the real gentleman among the ladies.

He was also in the limelight no matter where he went, or what he did. The definition of gentleman.

Yun Shu peeked a look at him, whose expression seemed normal and calm than it should.

After the confrontation, Yun Si was calm and the same as ever. He didn’t bring up this fight as an issue or placed any order to confine her. Nor did he try anything bizarre.

People will think it’s good that he was behaving himself and didn’t trouble her or Bai Yunxian.

But for Yun Shu, this behavior raised her alarm even more.

It was like the calm before the storm, and she needs to be prepared for the worst.

’Sigh, life is so troublesome here. I’d rather go to the countryside and live a happy and healthy life with my husband…’

This why Yun Shu acted like a playboy, to make the noble ladies stay away from her.

But now…

“This is troublesome.” Yun Shu sighs as she comes down from the horse, since the soldiers are surrounding the place, it was safe for her now.

But when she saw the gloomy expression on Bai Yunxian’s face, Yun Shu felt an emergency.

The way Bai Yunxian was glaring at the ladies around them, if staring could kill then they would’ve been dead long ago.

’Heh, is he jealous?’

Yun Shu smirked as she closed the distance between them, whispering into his ears, “Don’t worry, let them scream as they wish. You are the only one for me.”

“…!”

Bai Yunxian flushed in shame after getting caught red handed by Yun Shu when he felt jealous of those girls, but Yun Shu pretended not to see the shed of red on his face.

Yun Shu extended her hand to Bai Yunxian, helping him get down from the carriage.

“Come.”

Bai Yunxian also followed suit as he gripped her hand firmly and got off from the carriage.

By then, the Yun brothers also arrived at the place.

Yun Shu greeted Eunuch Shu who was standing there for a while, waiting to pick them up.

He was a kind person, and Yun Shu respected him as an elder regardless of his status.

“Long time no see.” Yun Shu smiled politely after her greetings.

“Indeed, it’s been a long time, Prince Yun.”

After chatting for a while, Yun Shu smiled as she said, “I’ll come to the palace to meet His Majesty soon. Please send him my regards.”

Just as Yun Shu was about to leave, Eunuch Shu called out to her, “Actually Prince Yun, you have to come with me right now. His Majesty told me to receive you right away and take you to the Palace since he wants to hear from you directly.”

’Uncle wants to see me?’ Yun Shu was surprised, but understood immediately that it must be something important.

“Very well, I’ll follow you.” Yun Shu nodded her head in agreement. But before that, I need to make sure of some work to be done.”

As Yun Shu said, she turned around and looked at Bai Yunxian, walking towards him.

“Brother, it seems His Majesty called me to the Palace about something urgent, I’ll come home late. Instead, take my wife back safely and wait for my return.” She said it to her fourth brother, who nodded as he understood the assignment.
