Greetings, Ninth Uncle

Ch.6 - Uncle and Niece

Cheng Yujin's tone was full of annoyance. Although she was a mere decoration, she was nevertheless a beautiful and useful one. As long as old Madam Cheng still willing to support her and Qingfu Junzhu didn't lose her position, she would always be the most honorable eldest young miss of Yichun marquis manor. How many people dare to tell that she spoke nonsense?

When Cheng Yujin glared at him, although her round eyes were picturesque, he could see her real emotion hidden there. Cheng Yuanjing thought that the current her was more pleasing to his eyes. It turned out that he actually disliked this girl's perfect young lady act.

Cheng Yujin was furious, but the man in front of her didn't show even the slightest reaction, and still dare to ask, "Is that all?"

Cheng Yujin's eyes widened even more. Cheng Yuanjing took her expression as an answer, turned his body, and left, not taking her seriously. Wholly irritated, Cheng Yujin coldly shouted, "Ninth uncle!" from behind. No response. She couldn't stand it anymore and hurried up to chase, quickly blocking Cheng Yuanjing's path.

Cheng Yuanjing's retinues who followed closely all knew his real identity. A man with neat appearance who looked like a guard frowned. That girl, she dared to block the crown prince's path, her courage was too big.

The man quickly intervened with a loud voice, "Eldest miss Cheng..."

If Cheng Yujin paid more attention, she would notice that the guard called her 'eldest miss Cheng'. How could a servant address a member of the family he served with her surname?

At this moment, however, Cheng Yujin didn't notice this detail. She stood in front of Cheng Yuanjing and looked at him with apparent coldness in her eyes.

It seemed that since the situation had come to the worst, Cheng Yujin simply decided to tear off her 'obedient and virtuous young lady' skin. She directly confronted: "Just after you came back, ninth uncle saw that kind of scene. Presumably, your impression of me had fallen into rock bottom. But ninth uncle is an elder, and you are already a fourth rank official befitting of that red attire you wear. So why do ninth uncle still need to bother with a niece that hasn't been out of her boudoir? I am not afraid of ninth uncle making jokes out of me, but today my engagement had just been canceled, and my emotion is unstable. Thus my words and actions inevitably become more aggressive. However, though a man is allowed to remarry, a woman cannot. This cancellation won't have any impact on Huo Changyuan. But for me, even finding a future marriage prospect might be problematic. I have no choice other than make grandfather and grandmother pitying me."

Cheng Yuanjing's gaze on Cheng Yujin had no emotion in it. Naturally, he also didn't pity her. "So, what relation does it have with me?"

Cheng Yujin smiled and said, "Of course, it doesn't have anything to do with ninth uncle. It's enough if you keep silent."

Cheng Yuanjing wanted to laugh a little. In fact, he really laughed. How amusing. He already lived for 19 years, and it was the first time someone dared to control what he could say or not.

The two of them standing very close. Cheng Yuanjing was smiling at her. Although the smile was shallow and didn't reach his eyes, Cheng Yujin still almost got her soul stolen by him.

The Chengs had been a prestigious family for five to six generations. After so many years of high-class living, coupled with beautiful concubines who improved the next generations' look, none of the Cheng family's descendants were ugly. Moreover, thanks to their ancestors who persistently refused to strive higher, indulging themselves in beauties' charm, when it reached Cheng Yujin's generation, the whole family, regardless of gender, when placed among all young masters and young misses in the capital, would all receive the limelight due to their face value alone. However, the most handsome man in Cheng family, or even the most good-looking person Cheng Yujin ever saw, none of them surpassed Cheng Yuanjing.
