When Chen Chuxia had just rescued Lu Zizhou, she didn't know who he was. Worried he'd be bored while recovering, she brought him a bowl of melon seeds and told him all the gossip about the long-fallen Princess Chang's household.
She went from the old master taking a second wife to the third master being a womanizer, from the eldest young lady being overbearing to the fifth young master frequenting brothels. She had a different story every day.
Lu Zizhou was silent for a while. "...Isn't it wrong to gossip about people like that?"
Chen Chuxia: "It's fine. Princess Chang's household is my own family. Just don't tell anyone."
Lu Zizhou: "..."
Later, Chen Chuxia learned about Lu Zizhou's background. Thinking he had it pretty rough, she wanted to comfort him, so she brought him another bowl of melon seeds and told him more gossip.
Lu Zizhou was silent for a while. "...Actually, I'm not as miserable as you think."
Chen Chuxia: "Oh, then I'll go tell Yan Qilang from Prince Yuanjiang's family."
Unexpectedly, Lu Zizhou grabbed her and handed her a plate of freshly bought melon seeds he'd queued up to get. "Yan Qilang is leaving for Hunan tomorrow to take up his post. You might as well tell me."
Yan Qilang, who had finally obtained an appointment from the Ministry of Rites and been transferred back to the capital, couldn't help sneezing.
Content warnings:
1. One-on-one, happy ending.
2. A female lead with no ambition, who's lazy, loves good food, and is great at gossip x a cold-faced, cold-hearted male lead with great power who keeps his cards close to his chest.
3. Fictional setting. Romance is the focus, with household rivalries as a side plot. Everything serves the romance.
4. New chapter every night at 9 p.m. I'll post a notice if I miss an update.
