Zhou Yunke's heart tightened slightly.

Although I know she is joking, I still care a little bit in my heart.

However, the next moment, he heard the woman beside him say with a smile: "But, don't you have the ability to protect yourself and the people around you? Why, you were so confident in front of Xiaoliu, but you don't have the confidence in front of me?"

Zhou Yunke was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and stared at the woman beside him.

Su Liuyue looked at him, her lips curled up slightly, "Am I wrong?"

Zhou Yunke couldn't help but smile, "Yes."

To be honest, if he didn't have enough power in his hands, even if he loved her very much, he would not drag her into this abyss.

He didn't want her to experience the same pain he had experienced.

Su Liuyue couldn't help but smile even more, and said, "Let's not talk about those upsetting things, let's talk about returning home tomorrow. I want to keep a low profile when I go back tomorrow, okay? My uncle and aunt aren't the kind of people who like to show off."

"Okay, it's up to you."

Zhou Yunke smiled, "Butler Jin has already prepared all the gifts we need to bring to Xue's house tomorrow. This time, I specially asked my aunt to send someone to guide Butler Jin. He will not make mistakes again."

Thinking of the bunch of fancy things that Manager Jin had prepared to welcome her arrival last time, Su Liuyue couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.

However, if Princess Changxi sends someone over, there shouldn't be any problem.

Zhou Yunke suddenly said, "By the way, I only had contact with my uncle on official business before, and the contact was not deep. I have hardly met other people in the Xue family, except for your two cousins. We will go there tomorrow. Is there anything I should pay attention to?"

Su Liuyue couldn't help but look at him sideways, "Isn't Your Highness the best at managing people? People all over the world say that Your Highness is strict in managing the army, and there is no one under Your Highness who disobeys Your Highness. It's just meeting my family, is there any need for Your Highness to be so nervous?"

The last time he met her two cousins, didn’t he use both kindness and force, looking very majestic?

Zhou Yunke smiled faintly and said, "Family members and subordinates are naturally different, especially your uncle and aunt. They are your elders and my elders as well. I am just worried that I might offend them."

Su Liuyue was naturally happy that he valued her family so much.

She raised her lips and smiled, "Don't worry, my uncle and aunt are very nice people, very easy-going. You can see this from my cousin, it's just..."

It was her aunt, who had the same problem as most female elders in the world. She was always particularly concerned about her and Zhou Yunke's married life, such as whether he bullied her, whether his family treated her well, whether the wedding night went smoothly, etc.

Thinking of this, Su Liuyue couldn't help but think of the things that Yun had secretly told her in her room the day before the wedding, and she felt a little annoyed.

With my aunt's sharp eyes, I'm afraid she can't hide the fact that she and Zhou Yunke haven't consummated their marriage yet.

Su Liuyue got a headache when she thought that tomorrow, Yun might pull her aside and talk to her for a long time, worried and nervous.

Seeing that Su Liuyue did not continue to speak, Zhou Yunke could not help but ask: "What is it?"

"It's okay." Su Liuyue couldn't help but glance at him quietly.

It’s all this man’s fault for playing reserved games with her. If he had done things according to the rules, would she still have to worry about these things?

Never mind. Men are often unreliable.

For some things, she still has to take the initiative.

After Su Liuyue and her companions arrived at Zhou Yunke's mansion outside the palace, they discovered that Princess Changxi had actually sent Aunt Mingyu to take care of their return home tomorrow. Su Liuyue was both touched and worried, and asked several times in a row if Princess Changxi would be uncomfortable without her.

Aunt Mingyu said with a smile: "Please rest assured, Crown Princess, Her Royal Highness is not the kind of person who cannot live without being served, and there are many people in the Princess's Mansion who can serve Her Royal Highness.

For Her Royal Highness, the more important thing now is the matter between you and Her Royal Highness. When you are free, go to the Princess's residence with the Crown Prince more often to visit Her Royal Highness, and Her Royal Highness will be satisfied."

Su Liuyue couldn't help but smile, "Of course, Your Highness and I have already discussed it. After I finish my return home tomorrow, I will go to visit my aunt the day after tomorrow. I will live here in the future, and I will bother my aunt many times. Please don't think I'm annoying."

"Oh, I can't even imagine how happy Her Royal Highness the Princess would be to hear the Crown Princess call her aunt."

The smile in Aunt Mingyu's eyes became even more intense. "How could Her Royal Highness the Princess find the Crown Princess annoying? She also said that she would add a crime investigation course to her school in the future, so that all the women under her who are interested in investigating crimes would worship the Crown Princess as their teacher."

Su Liuyue raised her eyebrows slightly, "Is there any woman who is interested in investigating the case?"

"Of course, the reputation of the Crown Princess has long been known throughout Xinjing. Many women in Xinjing are very much attracted to her. Among the new students accepted by Her Royal Highness the Princess, there are several who are interested in investigating crimes and catching criminals."

Su Liuyue smiled and said, "Then I would be happy to teach them."

As long as they really want to learn, she will teach them seriously.

With the help of Aunt Mingyu, everything was prepared very smoothly. Su Liuyue and Zhou Yunke's rooms were decorated with many things that a woman would use early on. For example, there was a dressing table placed in the corner by the window next to the bed, on which were already placed all kinds of exquisite jewelry and all the necessary items a woman needed for dressing up. For example, there was a pear wood carved three-drawer low cabinet against the wall, and a four-piece cabinet of the same style, both of which were used to store Su Liuyue's clothes and sundries.

In the room, the incense burner was lit early, and the fragrance of osmanthus was very fresh and pleasant. Compared with the strong and choking incense smell that Manager Jin had made before, it was completely different.

As soon as Su Liuyue entered the room, she couldn't help but look surprised. After taking a closer look, she found that most of the things here were her dowry. She had wondered why her dowry was not seen in the East Palace. She thought that the palace had strict rules and everything she ate and used had to follow the palace's specifications, so her dowry was not used.

It turned out that all the dowries were brought here.

Even the quilt, blankets and pillows on the bed were a royal blue set with a five-blessed floral pattern that her aunt had sewn for her stitch by stitch.

Because she likes soft pillows and not hard pillows, her aunt always makes soft pillows for her.

Looking at these familiar things, Su Liuyue felt a warm feeling in her heart.

Compared to the cold and unfamiliar East Palace, this place finally made her feel like home. (End of this chapter)
