Shen Yue was not shy and was amused by Su Shunci's calling her sister-in-law. She remembered that when her third uncle and aunt first got married, she still called Su Shunci her fourth aunt.

It was true that things in the world were unpredictable. She felt that these things were just like a dream. How could she marry the person she loved and become the Princess of Ning?

She waved her hand, motioning Su Shunci to come over and sit down.

Su Shunci did not sit on the bed, because her mother had told her that the wedding bed was not for casual sitting.

Shen Yue ignored all this and pulled Su Shunci to sit next to her.

Then he took a peanut from the bed, peeled it and handed it to Su Shunci.

When she handed the peanut kernels to Su Shunci, Su Shunci also took out a snack wrapped in oil paper from his arms and handed it to Shen Yue.

The two looked at each other, then laughed and each took it and ate it.

When Shen Yue took the snack, Su Shunci said, "This is a vegetarian snack made in the mansion, so don't worry about eating it, sister-in-law."

If Shen Yue hadn't been in mourning, Su Shunci would have wanted to tear off two chicken legs and send them over.

Qiu Tong, Shen Yue's maidservant, joked: "Young lady looks so casual, she doesn't look like she's getting married, but more like she's at home."

Su Shunci smiled and said, "Qiutong, you have to change your words. This is the real princess of our Ning Wang Mansion, you can't call her Miss. Besides, this Ning Wang Mansion is her own home, isn't it? She has to live here for the rest of her life."

The real hostess of this house is Shen Yue.

Shen Yue smiled and said, "It's also because my mother-in-law and you, my sister-in-law, get along well. I feel like I'm at home."

After entering the mansion today, her mother-in-law came to talk to her for a long time, telling her to tell the subordinates if she had anything to do. She also said that the Ning Wang Mansion did not need the daughter-in-law to set rules, and she could live her life the way she wanted.

Shen Yue even sighed that she was lucky, as she married a man she loved and they were childhood sweethearts. Her mother-in-law was reasonable, and with the relationship between her third uncle and aunt, the family was harmonious and peaceful.

Su Shunci was always sweet-talking. After hearing what Shen Yue said, she took her arm and said.

"That's because my sister-in-law doesn't dislike me. If it were someone else, I don't know if they would be able to tolerate me."

The aunt and sister-in-law laughed so hard that they fell over.

Su Yuanzhou sent the guests away and hurried back to the bridal chamber. When he reached the door, he heard laughter from inside and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

The maid guarding the door bowed and saluted, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Then he opened the door and invited Su Yuanzhou in.

When Su Shunci saw her brother coming, she knew that her mission was also completed. She stood up and said, "I will go back first. I will wait for my sister-in-law to give me a gift tomorrow morning."

Su Yuanzhou rolled his eyes at her and said, "You still want this?"

Su Shunci made a face at him and said, "Even if you want it, you should ask my sister-in-law." After saying that, she opened the door and left.

Su Yuanzhou waved his hands helplessly, signaling the waiters to leave. Then he walked to the bed and sat down, turning to look at Shen Yue, "Are you hungry? I've already asked the servants to bring in the food, please wait a little longer."

Shen Yue shook her head and said, "Fortunately, I was so nervous that I didn't even think about being hungry. My fourth sister even gave me a piece of dessert just now."

Guessing that she must be tired after that day, Su Yuanzhou motioned for her to sit on the small couch first, while he personally put away the longans, lotus seeds and other things on the bed.

Shen Yue wanted to go forward to help, but was stopped by Su Yuanzhou, "You take a rest, I'll do it."

He did not call for help from his servants and packed up everything by himself.

Shen Yue sat beside the small couch and watched him busy, unable to suppress the curled corners of her lips.

Soon, Su Yuanzhou made the bed and the servants brought in the food.

Because Shen Yue was in mourning and was a vegetarian, the dishes served were all light vegetarian. The staple food was a casserole of vegetable and mushroom porridge.

Shen Yue didn't feel hungry at first, but when she saw the table full of green and refreshing dishes and the thick rice porridge, her appetite was suddenly aroused.

The two sat opposite each other, and no one was waiting for them. At this time, neither of them wanted to be disturbed by others, they just wanted to have a good chat.

Su Yuanzhou first served Shen Yue some porridge, handed it to her, and said, "Tomorrow morning after we have dinner at the mansion, we will go back to the Su family."

Now that you have returned to your ancestral home, you must go back to pay respect to your ancestors and offer tea to your elders. These face-saving things should still be done.

Shen Yue nodded, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I know what to do."

Her grandmother had told her how to be a good bride and how to respect her elders before she got married.

Su Yuanzhou looked at her lovingly and gave her a piece of spinach with chopsticks. "Do you really know how to make it? Then tell me."

Shen Yue was confused. Was he testing her?

So she told Su Yuanzhou exactly what her grandmother had said, which was nothing more than being respectful to elders and following the proper rules.

Su Yuanzhou couldn't help laughing, put down his chopsticks and said, "That's not what I wanted to say."

"I want to warn you that when you interact with the Su family in the future, you must never keep silent about any injustice you suffer."

"If someone bullies you or plots against you, beat them back. Your husband will support you in everything, so you don't have to worry about anything."

Shen Yue stared at Su Yuanzhou in amazement, frozen there for a moment.

Su Yuanzhou was confused, "What's wrong?"

Shen Yue blinked twice, "What you said is the same as what Aunt San said. She also told me the same thing."

Seeing that the porridge in her bowl was almost empty, Su Yuanzhou took it and served her another half bowl. "It seems that we brothers and sisters have the same idea. We are both afraid that you will be bullied."

Shen Yue gave him a comforting look, "Brother Yuanzhou, don't worry. I'm not stupid. How can I let anyone bully me at will?"

After dinner, the servants took the food away and Su Yuanzhou went to the bathroom to take a shower and change clothes.

The auspicious attire was heavy and he was already sweating all over.

After bathing, the couple lay on the bed. Su Yuanzhou held Shen Yue lovingly in his arms and kissed her between the eyebrows.

"Go to sleep. We still have a lot to do tomorrow."

Shen Yue is still in mourning, and the mourning period is less than a year, so they cannot consummate their marriage.

But he was already very content to be able to get married successfully and to be able to hug her like this.

Shen Yue buried her head in Su Yuanzhou's chest. They chatted for a while and then she fell asleep. She must have been tired today.

The next morning, when Shen Yue opened her eyes, Su Yuanzhou was no longer in bed.

Yuye, the head maid in the main courtyard, heard the noise, came in to pay her respects, and together with Qiutong, helped Shen Yue get up.

Shen Yue asked: "Where is the prince?"

Yuye was kneeling on the ground with her head down, helping Shen Yue to tidy up her clothes. She replied, "To answer your question, the prince went to the martial arts training ground early in the morning. He should be back soon. If your wife is worried, I will send someone to invite him."

Shen Yue wanted to say that it was not necessary, but before she could say anything, she saw Su Yuanzhou walking in from outside.

Seeing that there was still sweat on his forehead, Shen Yue handed him a hot and wet towel.

"You still need to practice martial arts after getting married, and you don't even have a break for two days?"

Su Yuanzhou came closer and spoke into Shen Yue's ear.

"Actually, I didn't plan to go to the training ground today, but..."

"I want to go again."

But Su Yuanzhou didn’t say anything.
