A confusing little system for newbie bosses

Xiao Yuanhuai was sitting there watching the dance and enjoying the music, but he was quite happy to see Shen Zhiyou coming over.

Taifu Shen was also his teacher. He and Shen Zhiyou had been sweethearts since childhood, and he had personally asked for this marriage!

If Taifu Shen hadn't been reluctant to let his daughter marry young, they would have gotten married when she was old enough.

But when he saw that the person following Shen Zhiyou was Yao Qinghuan, he suddenly felt irritated. What was even more irritating was that she spilled wine all over him.

This woman was really difficult to deal with. She thought she was pretending well, but little did he know that her little thoughts were exposed in front of him.

If it weren't for the sake of Mrs. Shen and Zhiyou, he wouldn't even want to talk to her.

However, she always pestered Zhiyou, the two were inseparable, and even earned the title of "Two Sisters of the Imperial City". Some dandies even jokingly called Yao Qinghuan "the most beautiful woman", so she probably took it seriously.

Yunhuang sat at the top and witnessed King Xiaoyao being splashed with wine. Yao Qinghuan frantically tried to wipe it with a handkerchief, but was refused. He stood there as if he wanted to cry or not, as if he had suffered a huge blow. Wronged.

Tsk tsk tsk! What a white lotus that emerges from the mud but remains unstained.

After all, he is his brother, so he cannot just sit back and watch!

After saying hello to the emperor, Yunhuang walked towards them unhurriedly, and then heard in his ears, "Ahhh! Sister Princess is here!"

Why did you forget this? Is it rude to turn around and go back now?

Fortunately, Yunhuang just paused, then walked over as if nothing had happened, trying his best to ignore the sounds in his ears.

"Brother Wang, what's going on? Why is the hem of your clothes wet? It's so cold here, so be careful." The concern was just right.

"Nothing, just spilled some wine."

Yunhuang turned to look at Yao Qinghuan and glanced at the wine stains on her sleeves.

"Presumably this is Brother Wang's fiancée, Miss Shen Zhiyou, right?"

Originally, only the people nearby noticed that King Xiaoyao had his drink thrown at him, but Yunhuang's addition attracted some attention.

Mrs. Shen noticed what was going on here and hurriedly came over and happened to hear Yunhuang's words.

"To answer the princess' question, this is my niece Yao Qinghuan, and this is my daughter Shen Zhiyou."

Mrs. Shen pulled Shen Zhiyou, who was stunned, over to introduce Yunhuang.

Now Yunhuang's ears are full of voices saying, "Sister Princess doesn't remember me, Sister Princess doesn't remember me...".

King Xiaoyao spoke up, "Huang'er has never met Miss Shen, so it's understandable that she admitted her mistake."

Yunhuang did not apologize for admitting the wrong person, but continued: "I have long heard that there is a cousin in Shen's house, who is treated like her own daughter by Mrs. Shen. When I saw it today, it was indeed like this. The cousin's clothes were even better than my own. It’s even more gorgeous, I don’t wonder if I will admit my mistake.”

After hearing what she said, Mrs. Shen turned her attention to their outfits. It was indeed Qing Huan's outfit that was more luxurious.

Shen Zhiyou is wearing a Sujin long dress. Although the style is novel, it is not worth mentioning compared to Yao Qinghuan's misty gauze.

"Since Brother Wang is engaged to Miss Shen, Miss Yao still needs to know how to avoid suspicion, and Madam should also remind her to avoid misunderstanding like this palace."

Shen Zhiyou looked at Yunhuang with wide eyes, "Sister Princess is so amazing. She said what I wanted to say but didn't dare to say."

Yao Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red, her eyes filled with tears, and she looked humiliated, "Princess, please be careful what you say."

If he hadn't seen her panic at that moment, Yunhuang would have believed her.

"Be careful what you say? What did I say? Do you need Miss Yao to teach me a lesson?"

Maybe the movement here was a little louder, everyone was looking at this, and the dance music happened to stop at this time.

Yunhuang's voice was neither loud nor quiet, but it was enough for people not far away to hear the second half of the sentence clearly, including the emperor.

Now Yao Qinghuan was really panicked and cried a little more seriously, "I don't know where I provoke your highness, but please don't slander me."

"What are you going to say, Miss Yao?" Yunhuang looked at her with confusion, "Did I say something wrong?"

Yao Qinghuan hesitated, "The reputation of my daughter's family is so important. How can the princess make fun of my daughter's reputation?"

She looked like she had been bullied by Yunhuang.

"Which family are you a servant of? What are the positions of my father and brother? Where do they work? Could it be that by living in the Shen Mansion, you treat yourself as a young lady?"

Yao Qinghuan was frightened and looked at Mrs. Shen in panic.

If it had been in the past, Mrs. Shen would have saved her a long time ago, but she didn't miss Yao Qinghuan's expression just now. That unnatural moment was enough for her to confirm Yao Qinghuan's thoughts.

It also reminded Mrs. Shen of her subtle behavior when she and her youngest son were brought together.

It turns out it's not that I know I'm not worthy, but that I don't like him.

Mrs. Shen was heartbroken and uncomfortable, but she also knew that it would be detrimental to the Shen family if the matter escalated, so she bit the bullet and came out to smooth things over.

"Qing Huan, what does it look like to talk nonsense in front of the princess?" Mrs. Shen scolded, and then said to Yunhuang, "I have neglected to discipline my niece. I hope the princess will forgive me."

Yunhuang smiled nonchalantly, "Maybe today's drink is intoxicating. Miss Yao drank a little too much. Nothing happened." Looking at Yao Qinghuan who looked aggrieved, he said, "Miss Yao, although this smoke cloud gauze is made of fine fabric, it is not suitable for wearing in winter. It’s too thin to come here, you’d better change it if your sleeves are wet!”

Then he ordered Ru Liu to take Yao Qinghuan to change clothes, and even more considerately asked Mrs. Shen and Shen Zhiyou to accompany her, because she was afraid that Miss Yao would be shy.

After they left and the dancing started again, this little farce was over.

After everyone left, Yunhuang joked to King Xiaoyao in a low voice: "Brother Wang is really charming, even the most beautiful woman takes the initiative to show his kindness!"

Xiao Yuanhuai pretended to be serious: "Don't say such nonsense, your sister-in-law will be worried if she hears it."

Hearing this, Yunhuang gave him a roll of her eyes, "Miss Shen hasn't married you yet. If you can't handle the Yingying Yanyan around you, be careful of them breaking off the engagement!"

These words spoke to Xiao Yuanhuai's heart, and you could tell how troubled he was by the dejection on his face.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Shen is wary now and won't let Yao Qinghuan find an opportunity to pester you again." Yunhuang comforted her.

When Xiao Yuanhuai heard Yao Qinghuan's name, he looked like he had swallowed a fly. You can imagine how much he disliked her.

Moreover, even though he was very disgusted in his heart, he still had to pretend to be a handsome gentleman. Yunhuang felt annoyed for him just thinking about it.

She didn't care about the rest and settled her peach blossom debt by herself.

She has reminded her so much that if Mrs. Shen really loves her daughter, she will definitely think about her marriage. With her watching, Shen Zhiyou's task will be less difficult.

Afterwards, Yunhuang asked the butler to take Xiao Yuanhuai, who was stained with wine, to change clothes, and returned to his seat.
