Shen Chuwei stared at those three characters for a while.

She noticed those characters because there was a long string of candied haws drawn next to them, and a girl was holding the candied haws; that was probably where a foodie’s attention would be...

Beyond the three characters of "Feng Wuyou," there was another line of smaller text.

Just as Shen Chuwei planned to see clearly, footsteps came from outside the door. Perhaps because she felt so guilty for snooping, she didn’t even look at the rest of the drawings and hurriedly rolled up the scroll and stuffed it back in.

By the time she wanted to close it, she realized she didn’t know where the switch was.

She really didn’t know anything about the secret compartments of ancient times.

She tried pushing and turning, but nothing worked.

Hearing the footsteps getting closer, Shen Chuwei felt extremely guilty, her palms oozing cold sweat—it felt like a spy about to be caught stealing confidential reports.

As she fumbled in a panic, Xuetuan elegantly walked over and stepped on a small Liuli lamp on the bookshelf. With a click, the secret compartment closed.

Seeing this, Shen Chuwei was stunned. Looking at the Liuli lamp that Xuetuan had pressed, she had just turned it twice to no response; it turned out one needed to press it, not turn it.

Indeed, the twisting and turning mechanisms from TV dramas are unreliable.

She wasn’t even as smart as a cat~

"Xiao Jiu."

Shen Chuwei nervously embraced Xuetuan, trying to comfort her startled little heart.

Turning around, she saw Xiao Jinyan walking towards her, and her eyes bent nervously, "Your Highness, where have you been?"

"I just dealt with an urgent matter. What are you doing?" Xiao Jinyan walked over and stopped in front of her.

Shen Chuwei blinked her lovely big eyes, glimpsed the account book on the desk, and remembered that she came to deliver the account book, not to snoop on things she shouldn’t have.

"I’ve finished looking at the account book, but I don’t understand a lot of it."

Xiao Jinyan glanced at the account book on the desk, picked up Xuetuan from her arms, and tossed her onto the desk nearby.

Xuetuan looked bewildered as she flipped in the air and then landed steadily on the desk.

Shen Chuwei felt a bit sorry for Xuetuan, always being thrown around by Xiao Jinyan~

Xiao Jinyan took her hand, "It’s alright if you don’t understand, I will teach you."

"Okay," Shen Chuwei replied nervously and sat down at the desk with Xiao Jinyan.

Watching Xiao Jinyan open the account book, she pointed out the areas she didn’t understand and began to listen carefully.

In fact, her mind was still on that painting; even though for some reason the painting had been destroyed, she could still make out the face, which bore some resemblance to her.

Xiao Jinyan had been explaining for a while when he noticed Xiao Jiu, silent and lost in thought, and tapped her forehead with his hand, "What are you thinking about?"

Shen Chuwei replied nervously, "Concubine is too stupid, I can’t learn."

The words hinted, Crown Prince, perhaps you should find someone else? I am just a little salted fish who feeds on others, not cut out for accounting!

Xiao Jinyan soothed her, "Don’t belittle yourself, in my eyes, you are very clever, you can learn as long as you try."

Shen Chuwei suddenly thought of her homeroom teacher; before the middle school exams, he had also praised her like this. When she got into a key high school, the teacher said, "Wasn’t I right, you’re clever, as long as you’re willing to learn, what is a key high school?"

Her admission into the key high school was entirely due to a short video blogger who promoted food; with so much food, it was all close to the key high school...

For the sake of food, she had to give it her all~

*

Shen Chuwei originally intended to follow the idea of preferring once or twice every few days over once a week, but because of a decision, she planned to give it up temporarily.

Because she wanted to see the entire content of that painting.

Since Xiao Jinyan had hidden it in the secret compartment, it must be very confidential and not meant for others to see.

Therefore, she could only watch it secretly.

As the baby grew, the amount of time spent sleeping shortened while the playtime gradually increased.

Susu, who needed to see Shen Chuwei before falling asleep at night, was currently grinning at the Concubine.

Xiao Jinyan was sitting nearby, watching his daughter’s antics, thinking not only do you want to burden your mother, you also want to disturb your mother’s loving life with your father.

It was a considerable effort to put the two treasures to sleep, and only then did Xiao Jinyan manage to hold Shen Chuwei as he wished and get into bed.

Shen Chuwei thought about waking up early tomorrow, but the man on top of her was not only kissing her, his hand was also getting restless.

With such familiar actions, one didn’t need to ask what he wanted to do next.

Given Xiao Jinyan’s capacity, it would be impossible for him to wake up before the sun was high in the sky the next day.

She grabbed his hand, "Jinyan, don’t we have to wake up early for the morning court tomorrow?"
