The sky was a dim shade, and the encompassing darkness draped the Chenxiang courtyard in obscurity. Cui Dai sat shivering on the cold bench, and her vexation flared up like a wildfire. Her cold glare fixed on Ruo who was across from her and had an innocent expression.

Ruo, the young maid of the pair is the one who told Cui Dai that the Young Madam and Young Master were sleeping, and she didn't know when they would wake up.

As a newly wedded couple, it was only natural for them to sleep during the day.

Although Pei Xuan was a gentleman, surely 'he' longed to start a family and have children. After all, 'he' was also a normal human being.

On the other hand, Cui Dai had an extraordinarily thick skin and was unwilling to leave even when she had overstayed her welcome.

Cui Dai gritted her teeth, her impatience reaching its peak as she eagerly waited for the two of them who had some free time that day then exclaimed, "I want to eat!.."

Hao and Ruo, Cui Ti's two maids, exchanged a glance before the latter ordered the other servants to bring forth dishes freshly prepared by the back kitchen.

Soon after, they entertained the brazen Cui Dai with an excellent selection of food and wine.

The maids who looked at this scene whispered amongst themselves, condemning Cui Dai for her shameless behavior. Coincidentally, Cui Dai also criticized Cui Ti in her heart for being similarly shameless. After all, she had slept from the afternoon until now, portraying herself as a flirtatious girl who wouldn't let go of her husband.

As she remembered Pei Xuan's handsomeness, the food in her mouth lost its flavor.

The most outstanding man in Xijing had entered that blind woman's home, and she couldn't help but wonder what kind of husband her mother would select for her.

However, regardless of how excellent her future husband's family might be, it would never match up to the grandeur of the prime minister's son.

The food tasted bitter, Cui Dai's heart was filled with sourness, and jealousy towards Cui Ti.

....

Cui Ti was frozen in place, her body trembling as she recalled Miss Pei's comments.

She had said that Pei Xuan was a normal human as well, despite her gentle appearance and cleverness in writing, she was inept in everyday matters.

Miss Pei also revealed that Pei Xuan, born into an aristocratic family, was surrounded by people from a young age and treated like a star, leading her to ignore the feelings of others after saying something.

These conflicting thoughts weighed heavily on Cui Ti's heart, leaving her motionless and frightened. The words of Dou Qingyue and Pei Xuan echoed in her mind, reminding her of the dangers of love and the severity of sins.

She couldn't help but think that Dou Qingyue didn't know Pei Xuan well enough; where others saw clumsiness, she saw grace.

Remembering when Pei Xuan began to peel the shrimps, Cui Ti took notice of her beautiful slender fingers and couldn't help but let out a soft hum but then became ashamed that she was about to turn into a puddle of water.

How could she, how could she think of that...!?

Pei Xuan, however, was not shy about expressing her love and desire for her wife, and her clear eyes were now filled with worldly desires.

"Ah~ husband..." She let out an "ah" in surprise, and a little bit of residual tears leaked from the end of her eyes.

Cui Ti tried to close her eyes, and bit her lips to prevent any more of those embarrassing voices from slipping out.
