She didn't marry into the general's palace out of her heart's desire, but just on impulse?
Song Wenjing grasped the words in Jiang Jingyu's words and quietly moved the tiles under her body.
A ray of candlelight came out from the room, and the woman's figure suddenly came into Song Wenjing's eyes.
Jiang Jingyu was lowering his head and playing with the spices on the table. Song Wenjing couldn't see her face clearly. He could only see her plain white hands wandering between bottles of spices.
Song Wenjing's eyes darkened, and all she could think about was that on the night of the Lantern Festival, she ran into her arms and wrapped her arms around her waist.
Jiang Jingyu's technique of making incense is very skillful, and the order is slightly different from other perfumers.
Before the incense was finished, the refreshing fragrance came out of her hands and drifted into Song Wenjing's nose along the soft wind.
Song Wenjing came back to her senses, closed her eyes and smelled the fragrance in the air.
It's Duhengxiang, it smells very good.
Du Heng's incense was vaguely mixed with a wisp of her fragrance. He had been using incense for many years, but it was a smell he had never smelled before.
Song Wenjing sat on the eaves of Nanyuan, looking down at Jiang Jingyu who was making incense in the room.
He just watched quietly without disturbing her. He waited until Jiang Jingyu lit the incense and extinguished the candlelight before leaving.
The next day.
"ah--"
A horrified scream broke the tranquility of the general's mansion.
"Madam, madam, what's wrong with you?"
The maid guarding the door hurriedly opened the door and walked in. She saw Mrs. Zhang sitting on the bed with blank eyes and waving her hands.
"Don't come here, don't come here!"
Mrs. Zhang looked forward with a horrified look on her face, and kept dodging back, as if she had seen something scary.
Aunt Feng rushed over after hearing the sound and came directly to the bed: "Madam, madam, what's wrong with you?"
"Don't come over! Ah! Don't come over! It wasn't me who killed you, not me!"
Mrs. Zhang screamed in fear, and Grandma Feng's pupils tightened!
The two maids in the room were startled and quickly lowered their heads. They seemed to have overheard some secret that they shouldn't hear!
Aunt Feng hurriedly comforted the agitated Mrs. Zhang, then turned her head and glanced over.
"Madam, maybe she had a nightmare last night. Now she is a little confused and will inevitably talk nonsense. If I hear any gossip about madam, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
The two maids trembled and said hurriedly: "Don't worry, Grandma, I didn't hear anything. I promise you won't say a word!"
"That's the best! What are you doing standing still? Why don't you go and ask the doctor to take a look at Madam!"
The government doctor came over and took Ms. Zhang’s pulse, saying that she was frightened and overly emotional, and prescribed some tranquilizers.
Grandma Feng didn't dare to delay and hurriedly asked someone to boil the medicine for Mrs. Zhang.
"Madam, please drink the tranquilizing medicine soon. After drinking the medicine and having a good sleep, you will be fine."
Nanny Feng brought the tranquilizing medicine to Ms. Zhang as if coaxing a child. Just as she was about to feed her the medicine, Ms. Zhang knocked over the medicine bowl with her hand.
Grandma Feng frowned and had no choice but to order her servants to fry another portion.
Mrs. Zhang refused to drink and knocked over four or five medicine bowls in a row.
In the end, he ran out barefoot and kept mumbling, sometimes saying that he had not killed anyone, and sometimes saying that he was going to the cell to save Zhou Huaian.
The news of Zhang's mental disorder quickly spread throughout the general's palace, and Zhou Huaiqian was informed of the matter when he returned from court.
"What did the doctor say?"
"Back to the general, the doctor said that my wife was frightened and had a mental disorder. I'm afraid... I'm afraid she's going crazy..."
Zhou Huaiqian's expression darkened to the extreme.
First, his younger brother was imprisoned, then he was demoted, and now his mother has become insane. A heavy burden suddenly fell on Zhou Huaiqian, making him unable to breathe.
He went to see Mrs. Zhang, but now Ms. Zhang didn’t even recognize him.
Zhou Huaiqian didn't stay long. He just said "take good care of his mother" and left the front yard.
Before he could take a breath, a boy ran over in a panic.
"General, general! Something happened to the shop in the south of the city!"
Zhou Huaiqian's heart was beating fast. He frowned at the boy and said sternly: "If something goes wrong in the shop, go to the shopkeeper. Do you want me to teach you even this little thing?!"
The boy hurriedly explained: "Back to the general, what happened was too sudden, and the shopkeeper was at a loss, so I specially asked the villain to report it to the general!"
"General! General, there has been a fatal incident in the casino in the east of the city. Officers and soldiers have already rushed over. General, please move!"
Another soldier hurriedly came to Zhou Huaiqian, waiting for him to go to the scene to make a decision in person.
Zhou Huaiqian was demoted to three levels. Now all trivial matters in the imperial city are under his jurisdiction. If there is unrest in the imperial city, he must go and deal with it personally.
Zhou Huaiqian clenched his fist, ready to go to the casino with the soldiers to find out.
The boy stopped him with an anxious look on his face: "General, general! How should we deal with the matter in the shop?"
Zhou Huaiqian pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "Ask Madam!"
Mrs. Zhang has gone crazy, and the lady here is naturally referring to Jiang Jingyu.
The young man was overjoyed to receive Zhou Huaiqian's instructions. He nodded hurriedly and ran towards Nanyuan.
As the young boss of the Jiang family, Jiang Jingyu came easily to running the shop. After listening to the boy's words, she went to the shop in the south of the city in person.
There was a fatal incident in the casino, so Zhou Huaiqian immediately sealed the casino and put all the culprits in jail.
Later, it was discovered that people in gambling houses were cheating money behind their backs. Zhou Huaiqian sent someone to return the money on the list, and the rest was put into the national treasury.
Zhou Huaian's name happened to be on the list of cheaters, and he was cheated by the casino for a hundred taels.
And these 100 taels were exactly the 100 taels of silver notes Jiang Jingyu gave to Zhang that day, all of which were lost to the casino man by Zhou Huaian, a bastard.
After Zhou Huaiqian finished handling the casino matters, it was already late at night when he returned home.
He returned to his room with a tired look on his face and allowed the servant to take off his robe for him.
"Has the matter in the shop been settled?"
Zhou Huaiqian looked tired and suddenly remembered this matter.
"Back to the general, Madam has already taken care of everything. Madam not only dealt with the stalls in the shop in the south of the city, but also went to other shops. Now several shops are running in an orderly manner under Madam's care!"
The boy was a little excited. He was present when Jiang Jingyu dealt with the mess, and saw with his own eyes that she turned the situation around with just a few words.
Zhou Huaiqian's eyes flashed slightly, and he breathed a subtle sigh of relief when he heard that Jiang Jingyu had taken care of the shop.
Thinking that the one hundred taels of silver notes were still in his hand, Zhou Huaiqian suddenly stopped the boy and put on his robe again.
"General, where are you going so late?"
"No need to follow."
Zhou Huaiqian left this order and left the room. The direction he went to was Nanyuan where Jiang Jingyu was.
At the same time, after night fell, Song Wenjing followed her heart again and came towards the General's Mansion...
