This can't do hence Qin Xu wore the most beautiful smile she can muster and started walking towards Dong Shen.
Dong Shen felt her smile was too blinding for his eyes and felt that this little fox was up to something again and sure enough.
She came near him step by step wearing an alluring smile and spoke in a sweet charming tone casting her eyes towards the ground as if she was shy.
"So his highness I don't mind sharing a bed with you, after all we are marriage it's normal for husband and wife to sleep on the same bed if we live in different living quarters what will others say about us. "
'Sure enough this little fox was full of little schemes, she was even fine with sleeping with him but he was not fine, looking at her alluring body and enchanting face he was not sure it was a good idea sleeping on the same bed with her. '
"You... You... You..." Spoke Dong Shen while pointing a shaking finger towards Qin Xu and spat out the other word with great force, "SHAMLESS."
"What shameless your highness you need the hot spring so does I, it's either we divide the area of this courtyard in half or you give me the hot spring and this courtyard and find some other place for yourself anyway, afterall within a month I will cure you of your poison, so you wouldn't be needing that spring after some time. "
'This little fox has already thought it through carefully huh, not giving him a way out in this situation. '
"SHEN Ji. " He shouted.
"Yes your Highness. "
Build a courtyard just inside the garden of this courtyard in a way that the hot springs can be easily shared between the two courtyards.
Qin Xu's eyes lit up, 'Oh why didn't she think of this idea, now she can also live in her own courtyard and have the hot spring for herself too, afterall there were two hot springs, he won't be so stingy to give the smaller one to her right? '
Shen ji looked at his master then his mistress who has led his master on edge since these two days and sighed in his heart, 'sure enough a women can make a man do what she wants with just a few words even the antisocial and cold seventh Prince was doing her bidding. '
"Yes master it will be done within few days. "
"Prepare for journey after two day we are going to Wu Temple to pay our respect to my mother and will stay there for some time " Said Ding Shen.
"Alright master. " Shen Ji was confused it was not Master's late mother birthday yet then why all of a sudden he wanted to go there.'
For now it was settled that Qin Xu will sleep on his kang bed while he will have to make do with his study hence the day went quite peacefully and they came to a consensus.
The dinner was very sumptuous and Qin Xu was truly happy she missed such lavish meals it was just as good as when she was young however the chefs of the Qin country were almost divine in their skills.
As the day came to an end, Qin Xu naturally slept on the huge bed of Dong Shen and Dong Shen has to adjust in his study.
By morning the rumors that Dong Shen married a beauty were already flying around and soon people started flockering around the Shen Mansion wanting to meet Dong Shen for various reasons just to get a look at Qin Xu the rumored useless ugly women but were turned down by the guards at the door.
Dong Shen was a war Prince and his household followed military rules hence usually other then his personal guards and army which were all man there were very few maids.
Even the cooks in the resident were mens and very few women, now with addition of Qin Xu there were some elderly nanny and Chu Li her cook and maid.
Qin xu woke up and stretched like a cat feeling very satisfied and patted Dong Shen's bed, really what a good bed to sleep in, she like it more than it's dog owner.
After getting fresh she went out and had her breakfast, Dong Shen was already up and about and was sitting on the table ready to eat.
Seeing Qin Xu coming in like a lazy cat he felt like he was waiting on for the master of this house.
Soon after he was done with their breakfast an unexpected guest arrived.
"I say Brother Shen you did not invite your brother and are already done with your breakfast. " With that Luo Beichen flashed a generous smile in Qin Xu's direction.
"Oh, didn't the Luo manor make breakfast today? " Asked Dong Shen with a raised bro.
"How can Luo mansions breakfast tatse like yours brother, I have heard when you went South you even brought with you a highly skilled chef, and you didn't even invite me to appraise the dishes. " Luo Beichen said in an aggrived tone.
"Don't worry brother in law come come, join us I haven't finished yet. " Qin Xu raised her hands and asked him to join her.
Luo Beichen needed no invitation and quickely scooted over to Qin Xu's side, speaking in an endearing tone, "I say sister in law you are the best, you care for your brother in law the most, not like some people who just like to show and pretend. " Luo Beichen said subtly eyeing Dong Shen.
Qin Xu couldn't agree more, 'Indeed now there was one more person who can see the true face of Dong Shen, so she acted more cordially with him. '
"Brother in law have these crispy sour shrimps they are just freshly picked this morning and are fresh and delicate. " With that she put one in his bowl.
"Sister in law you are too good to me, it's my blessing to be blessed with such a kind hearted sister in law like you. " Luo Beichen literally prostrated on her feet.
One was good and flattering and liked to be flattered and hence the two of them really got along well sidelining Dong Shen which irritated him to the core.
"Why have you come here? " He asked in an irritated tone.
