The General's Darling Is Delicate-Chapter 85: Probing

Yun Chunnuan looked at this Western beauty who was at least forty years old but appeared to be in her early thirties.

She increasingly felt that the woman had traveled here from modern times.

But now, how to verify it?

Directly ask?

Too abrupt.

It’s best to hint indirectly.

But how to hint more aptly?

Got it!

Yun Chunnuan’s eyes lit up, "I think calling her Sister Mu isn’t suitable either; she should be called... Fairy Sister!

In ’Heavenly Dragon Eight Books,’ extraordinarily beautiful women are referred to as Fairy Sister!"

Yun Chunnuan’s big, shiny eyes eagerly stared at the Western beauty in front of her, attempting to find a trace of shock or surprise on her face.

Unfortunately, there was none.

She didn’t even look confused, just laughed heartily, "You sweet-talking child! My fate isn’t good; I gave birth to a naughty boy. If it were a little Princess like Nuannuan, it’d surely be much more lovable."

Yun Chunnuan was stunned.

Because in her understanding, this beauty from the Western Regions being a time traveler was a sure thing, just waiting for her to confirm it.

If she were a modern person, how could she not know ’Heavenly Dragon Eight Books’?"

Don’t panic!

What if she doesn’t like reading novels or watching TV?

Yun Chunnuan quickly thought and said, "My parents also love daughters, saying daughters are their intimate little cotton-padded jackets. They’ve doted on me since I was little. I like playing the piano, so they signed me up for piano classes. I like learning acting, so..."

As she talked, her voice trailed off.

Because the Western beauty was looking at her like she was an idiot, seeming completely unable to understand what she was saying, and even looked bewilderedly at the man beside her.

Yelyu Lie didn’t know what was going on with his little wife, like she was urgently trying to prove something.

He gently held her hand, seeking an explanation with his eyes.

He received an awkward smile from the little one.

Yelyu Lie quickly explained to his mother, "In the meaning of the people from the Central Plains, ’parents’ refers to father and mother. When Nuannuan saw you, she might have been reminded of her parents far away in Great Xia."

"No wonder." The Western beauty didn’t blame her but instead looked sympathetic, "I understand the hardship of marrying far away. If Nuannuan misses home in the future, she can come to the palace..."

Not knowing what she thought of, the Western beauty paused.

After a while, she smiled again, "If you miss home, I will visit you. You can see me as your mother."

Yun Chunnuan: "..."

She was almost in despair!

What she just said should have clearly exposed her as a modern person, right?

She was just considering that even if the woman came from modern times, she might be from a different era than hers, so she didn’t say anything else, mentioning parents, piano, acting—surely even if she came from the Republican era, she should have instantly gotten it!

Is she overthinking it?

But then how to explain the body wash, shampoo, underwear, and panties?!

It couldn’t be that she invented them herself, could it?

In the following time, Yun Chunnuan seized every opportunity to probe.

The probing methods were varied and colorful.

Yet, disappointingly, the Western beauty not only didn’t react like seeing a fellow ’villager’ eagerly, she even seemed to think that this little Princess from the Central Plains might not be mentally stable?

Her gaze fell on the ring just given to the little Princess—a few words still remained unsaid.

But now...

Her eyes wrote: Too hasty, too hasty.

In the end, Ayimu gave the palace maid a look.

Asha immediately understood, "It’s getting late. General, the master should take a nap."

Yelyu Lie knew his mother too well; she was annoyed. What nap was she going to take?

But his little wife...

Could it be that the concussion from the coma has damaged her brain?

Today, she is indeed behaving strangely...

Thinking so, the confusion turned into worry.

Yelyu Lie bowed to his mother, his warm big hand holding the cold little hand.

Seeing her inattentive, even somewhat dejected look.

He didn’t know what was wrong, but he felt sorry for her.

He squeezed her soft little hand and gently said, "Nuannuan, let’s go home."

Yun Chunnuan dumbfoundedly raised her head, seeing those light pupils filled with worry, only then did she realize what she had just done...

Yun Chunnuan quickly saluted the Western woman, "Princess Consort, I’m sorry! I might have been unconscious for too long; my mind is unclear. If I’ve offended you, please forgive me!"

The other party had already shown impatience towards her, leaving Yun Chunnuan regretful and sad.

She quickly tried to remove the ring from her ring finger.

Who knew, the ring seemed to have grown on her hand, couldn’t be removed no matter what!

Yun Chunnuan felt a bit perplexed, glanced at the Western beauty, and found her also frowning, staring at the ring on her hand.

"Forget it; don’t need to take it off. Since it is given to you, just wear it."

Ayimu was full of confusion.

The master once said, this ring should be given as a family heirloom to her future daughter-in-law. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Only in her hands could the ring exert its maximum power.

However, no matter how she looked at it, this girl wasn’t the person the master had described...

Yet, the ring seemed to recognize its owner.

Really strange!

As the little Princess turned her back, preparing to leave, Ayimu suddenly called out to her, "Wait."

Yelyu Lie stopped his steps, puzzled looking at his mother, "What’s the matter?"

His expression wasn’t very good.

After all, it was clear his mother’s attitude towards his little wife was growing increasingly cold.

Look at how sad his Nuannuan is!

Yun Chunnuan also turned around, seeing the Western beauty supported by the palace maid, rising from the couch.

Her figure was very tall; in modern times, such conditions would make her a model.

Clad in white, she gracefully floated before the little Princess, "Does Nuannuan like gardening?"

Yun Chunnuan didn’t know why she was asking this but still nodded, "Yes."

She wasn’t perfunctorily deceiving this Western beauty; Yun Chunnuan truly loved it.

Because her father always raised some plants and flowers; she gradually developed a fondness and learned to care for them.

"Then come and see how this pot of flowers is growing?"

When the Western beauty wasn’t smiling, she looked like a snow lotus atop a peak, giving off an unattainable aloofness.

She led the way; eventually, they stopped before a carved hollowed-out window.

Bits of fragmented sunlight sprinkled into the lavishly luxurious palace, falling on the two pots of small flowers placed under the windowsill.

Yun Chunnuan initially glanced suspiciously because she couldn’t figure out whether this future mother-in-law liked or disliked her.

And why she would let her observe the growth of a pot of flowers.

But when she took a closer look and saw the beautiful little flowers of white and pale purple blooming in the green porcelain pot, she was left dumbfounded!

What followed was sheer ecstasy!

Even more excited than when she discovered her own Golden Finger!
