The moon and stars are sparse and the night breeze is blowing.
Jiang Jingyu asked Qiu Shuang and Dong Xu to move the fragrance table to the yard.
"Miss, please go get a lantern for me!"
Qiu Shuang said and ran to the room, brought a lantern over and placed it next to the incense table.
The moonlight and the reflection of candlelight made the area around the perfume table instantly brighter.
Jiang Jingyu raised her eyes and glanced at Qiu Shuang and Dong Xu on one side, and said to them, "You go and have a rest. You don't need to accompany me."
Qiu Shuang and Dong Xu shook their heads together: "We want to stay with the lady! If the lady doesn't sleep, we won't sleep!"
Jiang Jingyu looked helpless: "Okay, then you guys go to the house and move a stool to sit down. Are you not tired of standing?"
"Yes, miss!"
Qiu Shuang smiled and pulled Dong Xu to the doorstep. She bent down and blew a breath, then sat down directly.
Qiu Shuang patted the position beside her, raised her head and said to Dong Xu, "Dong Xu, sit down quickly!"
Dong Xu nodded and sat aside.
The two little girls held their chins and looked quietly at Jiang Jingyu's figure in front of them.
"Miss's incense skills are so good. If the incense made by her is put on the shelves, I can guarantee that it will be ransacked within a day!"
Dong Xu tilted her head and glanced at Qiu Shuang: "One day? I'm afraid you're looking down on me. I think it's all gone in half a day without even being used."
Qiu Shuang smiled and agreed: "That's right, the lady's craftsmanship is not even comparable to that of the perfumers in the shop. The last time I had insomnia, the lady specially prepared a soothing incense for me. I slept well that night!"
Jiang Jingyu couldn't help but smile after hearing the words of the two little girls.
"Okay, you two, stop bragging. The soothing incense contains soothing powder, so you can sleep naturally sweet."
Qiu Shuang and Dong Xu looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
The lady laughed!
This is the first time they have seen the young lady smile since arriving at the General's Mansion!
The two little girls were surprised and happy. Just as they were about to continue making Jiang Jingyu happy, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared at the door.
"General, general!"
Qiu Shuang and Dong Xu were startled, and hurriedly stood up from the steps and bowed their bodies to Zhou Huaiqian at the door.
Jiang Jingyu, who had known Zhou Huaiqian's presence in Nanyuan for a long time, raised her eyes and looked at him pretending to be surprised.
"Why is the general here?"
Zhou Huaiqian was absent-minded for a moment, but soon returned to normal.
He walked straight towards Jiang Jingyu. Qiu Shuang and Dong Xu were startled, and subconsciously ran in front of Jiang Jingyu to block her behind them, looking at Zhou Huaiqian with wary expressions.
They knew that the general resented their young lady. Now that the general suddenly appeared in Nanyuan, he must have bad intentions!
Zhou Huaiqian's mouth twitched at the defensive look of the two of them. Does he look so scary?
Zhou Huaiqian didn't care about the two maids. He walked to the three masters and servants and stopped, stretching out his hands behind his back.
"One hundred taels of silver notes, the property returns to its original owner."
Qiu Shuang and Dong Xu were stunned, but they didn't expect that Zhou Huaiqian was here to pay back the money.
After all, Dongxu was more stable than Qiu Shuang. She was surprised for a moment, and then took the bank note from Zhou Huaiqian's hand.
"I will accept this banknote on behalf of my young lady. General, please go and pay it a visit in person!"
The bank note originally belonged to their young lady, so Dong Xu collected it with peace of mind.
Jiang Jingyu said nothing and acquiesced to Dong Xu's actions.
After Dong Xu took the banknote, Zhou Huaiqian still stood there without moving.
Qiu Shuang asked doubtfully: "General, is there anything else?"
Qiu Shuang and Dong Xu stared at him, the vigilance in their eyes not diminishing.
Zhou Huaiqian felt uncomfortable being stared at by the two of them. His eyes swept across Jiang Jingyu's face and then turned around.
Looking at his leaving figure, Qiu Shuang and Dong Xu breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s not just that you’re here to cause trouble for the lady!
The vigilance on their faces had just relaxed when Zhou Huaiqian, who was about to walk out of the yard, suddenly stopped.
He turned around and looked directly at Jiang Jingyu.
"I have a lot of work to do in the shop today."
He was very busy today because of the casino affairs. If Jiang Jingyu hadn't been there, there would have been trouble in the shop.
Jiang Jingyu looked at him calmly, with no unnecessary expression on his face.
"Since I'm married to the general, it's my duty to help take care of the affairs of the general's house. The general doesn't have to be polite to me. After all, we are a family."
Zhou Huaiqian's eyes flashed slightly, he took a deep look at Jiang Jingyu, and then turned around and left Nanyuan.
Zhou Huaiqian left Nanyuan with deep thoughts, not noticing the black figure on the roof that was covered by the shade of the trees.
Song Wenjing wore a mysterious robe and stood with his hands behind his back. He lowered his eyes slightly and took in everything in Nanyuan.
Including the conversation between Zhou Huaiqian and Jiang Jingyu, he listened to everything word for word.
After watching Zhou Huaiqian leave Nanyuan with his own eyes, Song Wenjing did not look away. He narrowed his eyes and tightened the big palm behind his back slightly.
Just now, Zhou Huaiqian was stunned when he heard Jiang Jingyu say that they were a family. Song Wenjing captured it. Perhaps the man's sixth sense was too strong, but Song Wenjing actually noticed a trace of happiness in Zhou Huaiqian's expression.
Zhou Huaiqian was glad that he married her and that they were a family.
It seems that not all the things he sent secret guards to find out are true. Zhou Huaiqian's friendship for his late wife is probably not as deep as he showed.
Song Wenjing dared to be sure that if Zhou Huaiqian was given more time to get along with Jiang Jingyu, Zhou Huaiqian would definitely forget the oath of love between him and his late wife and launch an offensive against Jiang Jingyu.
They were childhood sweethearts, and she already had feelings for Zhou Huaiqian in her heart. If Zhou Huaiqian came back and pursued her, her friendship for Zhou Huaiqian would only deepen.
By then, the two of them are interested in a concubine, what else will he do?
If he really interferes with her and seizes her love, and forcibly brings her to his side, she may really regret him for the rest of her life.
He originally thought that he would never be able to let a woman get close to him in this life, let alone be passionate about a woman, but Shang Yuanye's delicate softness crashed into his arms, not only getting closer to him, but also stirring up his silent heart. long-lasting heart.
After these days of struggle, Song Wenjing knew exactly what she wanted.
He wanted not only her person, but also her heart.
Therefore, he could not give Zhou Huaiqian any time to react, and he would never allow what he was worried about to happen...
pS: There are too many things to do at the beginning of school today, so I can only get this one out of the way first, my dears, please forgive me! Our Emperor Jing immediately launched an attack on Sister Jiang, hehe~
