Real Empress from a Noble Family Chapter 5 - Sharing the Same Bed

Chapter 5 Sharing the Same Bed

Qiu Yelan was awakened by a strange sound not far away at this night.

She kept breathing smoothly and opened her eyes secretly, only to feel her heart jerk suddenly!

After calming down, she finally found that it was a cat squatting at her feet.

It pressed part of the curtain, whose eyes were round with different colors and glowing in the night. It looks like a ghost at first glance, and it was so scary!

“It was put in deliberately or came by accident?” Qiu Yelan thought, “Mrs. Fan and Xiuyan had approached my bed before. Did they do something?”

She was afraid of the cat rus.h.i.+ng to scratch her, while footsteps that were deliberately lowered down occurred out of the curtain.

Qiu Yelan’s heart was stunned, and she closed her eyes, pretending to sleep.

A moment later, a figure flashed into the curtain with the faint exotic scent. She seemed relieved and yelled softly, “Find you finally!”

The cat “meowed” lazily, and it seemed reluctant.

“I was scolded by my cousin because you ran around!” The girl scolded, leaning down and picked the cat up, “After you go back, you will be punished for having no goat liver in the late supper!”

Qiu Yelan recognized that it was a young girl, who was about the same age as she was now. The voice was very strange, which was different from anyone in the Prince’s Mansion. So, she relieved.

However‒

The girl picked up the cat. She didn’t leave immediately, but laughed softly: “Oh, what a smell of medicine. Is it the one who was beaten in the crowds for a long time in the day when I was eavesdropping on the wall?” As she spoke, she tiptoed to the bed.

“…” Qiu Yelan was speechless.

“It’s really a little beauty, but it was so terrible that her face was swollen!” The girl didn’t know she was awake. She just stood beside the bed with interest and looked at her with the gauze lantern used at night and said regretfully, “I don’t know what she had suffered. This Qiu family is really merciless!”

She also reached out and touched Qiu Yelan’s face frequently.

“It doesn’t matter to you, anyway. Please leave me alone.”

Qiu Yelan was in a mess, and she probably knew that the girl might live in the next door. Even if she wasn’t a member of Jiang Family, she should be one of the neighbors … She might be very popular among the elders, so that she didn’t feel guilty of climbing over the wall to find the cat at midnight and sneaking into other’s boudoir!

Fortunately, a clear cough came out of the window after the girl muttered for a moment!

A young man asked gently, “Cousin, are you inside? Come out quickly!”

“d.a.m.n!” The young girl seemed to be frozen all of a sudden. She cursed lowly, “Nianxue, you put me in a dilemma!”

Huh … Luckily, her family members were responsible and were looking for her.

Qiu Yelan was just about to relax when the girl did something she didn’t expect!

… She picked up the cat named Nianxue, threw it on the bed, and shout loudly, “I will not go out!”

Qiu Yelan was frozen all over!

She was not only afraid that the cat would scratch her. However, the key was that the young girl hit her acupoints quickly while throwing the cat!

Then the young girl slipped away and ran away from the other side of the curtain!

As expected, the gentle voice came in with the window sound softly, “Please quit your monkey business! This is other’s boudoir! Go back home with me!”

The boy did not know what was happening in the curtain since Qiu Yelan’s dumb acupoint was. .h.i.t, and she could not remind him. So, he took it for granted that his cousin climbed to the bed because of the sound of throwing the cat!

So, he naturally lifted the curtain by the bed to pull the naughty cousin—and then—he was flurried!

But this young man was obviously not an ordinary person, and he calmed down instantly, saluting Qiu Qilan who was glaring at him and whispered, “I’m sorry‒I didn’t mean to offend!”

He might be the real owner of the cat. Just a moment, the cat stepped gracefully and jumped into his arms quickly without his call!

“I offended you today, and I will definitely repay you later!” Qiu Yelan’s shoulder was naked at this moment. Although her shoulder was covered with medicine, it should not be seen by men after all. The boy just wanted to leave with the cat after saying these words … but just now the voice of Mrs. Zhou came from outside, “Su He, can you go to the yard to check if anyone came in? I’m going to see Commandery Princess!”

The boy was so flurried, and he was about to rush towards the window. But at this time Su He said “hey” outside the window, “Grandma, I’m afraid of the dark … Could you come out and check the yard with me after seeing the Commandry Princess? ”

“Wait a moment!” Mrs. Zhou opened the door of the inner room after saying this sentence!

Qiu Yelan sighed deeply in her heart.

Mrs. Zhou entered the room and then took off the thick cover that was put on the night light. She came in holding the light and whispered, “Your Grace?”

“Mom, it’s all right. Please go to sleep.” What a.s.sured her was that Qiu Yelan’s voice soon came out of the bed-curtain.

Mrs. Zhou used the light to check outside again, and she found nothing abnormal, so she pulled back the cover and urged, “It seems that I heard someone speaking loudly. You can call us if something happens.”

“Ok.” After Mrs. Zhou went out and called Su He to check the yard, Qiu Yelan whispered, “Can you get off my bed now?”

The young boy got up terribly from her side and was about to make an apology when there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, so he lied down in a panic again!

They were both embarra.s.sed … Just at this time, Mrs. Zhou rushed in and said in terror, “Your Grace, someone climbed over the courtyard wall!”

“… Perhaps someone was spying the other day.”

“No. There was no trace on the courtyard wall when I checked in the evening! Someone must have entered our courtyard just now! What should we do now?” Mrs. Zhou was in a panic, “Mrs. Fan and Xiuyan just came to ask you for dowries of the Old Princess and the Princess. Are they … We’re done! what can we do?!”

Before Qiu Yelan said something to appease her, Mrs. Zhou clapped her hands and gritted her teeth, “You’re the only child of the princess, but they also tried to kill you like this … Although I have no the ability to protect you, I would not live alone!” Then she called Su He, “Go and get our quilts! Tonight, we are guarding the Commandery Princess in this room!”

When Qiu Yelan heard it, she was almost breathless! The boy next to her was also short of breath.

Both of them thought, “What should we explain that we lie down like this when Mrs. Zhou and Su He come in the next morning to help wash and dress?”
