Cheng Jinchujuan's crazy attitude annoyed Mrs. Shen and made her very unhappy.
Swinging her sleeves heavily, Mrs. Shen admonished: "You have indeed done a good job in giving birth to the eldest son and daughter for the Marquis. Nagasawa is grateful for your hard work and asked to make you an equal wife. This is a rare favor in Shangjing. "
"But if you don't know how to cherish it and wear away his love for you, it will be too late to regret it."
"Don't always think about attacking your child. You have to understand that if you can give birth to this child, others can also give birth to it. As long as it is a child of Nagasawa, they are all the heirs of the Hou family. You and your children are not irreplaceable."
After the last sentence fell, Cheng Jinchu felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his heart was shocked.
Seeing that she seemed to be more awake, Mrs. Shen advised: "If you want to keep your position in Nagasawa's heart, stop being willful and reckless. Giving birth to a child with peace of mind is the right thing to do."
Cheng Jinchu looked at the tent ceiling blankly, feeling helpless and painful, but not as angry as before.
Seeing this, Mother Shen said warmly: "Jinchu, Nagaze, he is doing it all for you. You have seen Yan Yang's stubbornness. If you force him to study, I'm afraid something will happen, so it's better to step back first."
"As for Wen Xiang Zui, Nagasawa is not good at running it. If we don't leave it to Shu'er, I'm afraid it will close down soon."
"I've told you the truth. You can weigh it yourself." Mrs. Shen couldn't bear to persuade her any more, so she stood up and left.
Mother Shen comforted her with a few gentle words and asked her servants to take good care of her.
It was already dinner time, but Shen Changze didn't want to eat in Lanyun Courtyard, so he went to Tingzhulou.
Jiang Shu washed her hands and was about to eat when she was surprised to see Shen Changze.
Out of etiquette, Jiang Shu asked: "Master Hou, is it ready?"
"Not yet, bring me some bowls and chopsticks." Shen Changze sat down on his own and ordered Tan Yu unceremoniously.
Tanyu reluctantly took out the bowls and chopsticks.
No words are spoken when eating, and no words are spoken when sleeping. The two ate in silence and had no communication.
After the meal, Chu Yu served tea.
After Jiang Shu finished a drink, he felt a little upset when he saw that Shen Changze had no intention of leaving.
"Madam, the hot water is ready, do you want to take a shower now?" Tan Yu asked.
Jiang Shu responded and got up to take a bath.
After taking a shower and washing her hair for half an hour, Jiang Shu thought that Shen Changze should leave, but he didn't expect that when she came out wearing a light gauze dress, Shen Changze was still there.
He took the scroll and looked at it absently.
Jiang Shu was startled: "It's getting late, won't Mr. Hou go back and rest?"
"I'll stay here tonight." Shen Changze put down the book and said.
The person in front of me is dressed in a lotus-colored gauze dress, with fragrant shoulders and semi-transparent shoulders. Her hair was as long as a waterfall and spread freely, with a hint of charm in her purity, making him unable to take his eyes away.
Sensing the movement in Shen Changze's eyes, Jiang Shu gathered up his gauze clothes and said, "I heard that there is no change of clothes for Mr. Hou in Zhulou. I'm afraid it's inconvenient."
For some reason, she didn't want Shen Changze to stay overnight.
Maybe it was the hot weather, or maybe she was worried about a lot of things these days, but she was not interested at all.
"It doesn't matter, just let Tan Yu get a set." Shen Changze made up his mind.
Jiang Shu pursed her lips and said with deep meaning: "Master Marquis should go back in person and speak to Mrs. Jin, lest she send someone to call her again."
Recalling the previous unsuccessful attempts to stay overnight, Shen Changze understood clearly and felt that Jiang Shu's words made sense.
"Prepare the chessboard. I'll be back soon." Shen Changze stood up and left.
Jiang Shu hurriedly went into the inner room and changed into a coat.
The heat was unbearable, and she had just thought that no one was in the house, so she wore a cool gauze dress, not intentionally to seduce.
Jiang Shu was a little irritated when he thought that Shen Changze was coming back and that he might not be able to avoid it tonight.
Isn't he very satisfied with Xu Lingyi? Why doesn't he go find her?
By the way, Xu Lingyi.
Jiang Shu's eyes lit up and he called Tan Yu to whisper a few words.
After hearing this, Tan Yu looked at Jiang Shu strangely, not understanding what she meant by this move.
Jiang Shu blushed and coughed lightly, urging: "Go quickly."
Tanyu had no choice but to go.
Shen Changze and Cheng Jinchu had been living in the same house, sleeping on the same bed, and naturally put their clothes in the same place.
He entered the room quietly, took his clothes and was about to leave, when Cheng Jinchu opened his eyes on the bed and stared at him quietly.
"But did it disturb you?" Shen Changze pretended to be calm.
Cheng Jinchu stared at the clothes in his hands and asked calmly, "What are you doing, husband?"
"I'm afraid of disturbing you, so I'm going to rest somewhere else," Shen Changze said.
Cheng Jinchu's current physical and emotional condition was definitely not suitable for him to live with her, so Shen Changze planned to live elsewhere.
"Where are you going, husband?" Cheng Jinchu stared into his eyes.
Shen Changze said truthfully: "Listen to the Bamboo Tower."
"Okay, husband, go ahead." As she expected.
Cheng Jinchu clutched the sheets tightly and watched Shen Changze leave.
People's hearts are fickle and unreliable. But as long as she keeps her child, she will always have a place in the Hou Mansion.
On the branches under the moon, Shen Changze took a bath and changed clothes before stepping into Tingzhu Tower.
While he was still downstairs, he heard a woman's conversation coming from the main room upstairs.
Thinking that Jiang Shu was talking to the maid, Shen Changze went upstairs and entered the room with great expectations.
"Master Hou." Xu Lingyi greeted him softly.
Shen Changze was confused: "Why are you here?"
Jiang Shu said: "I invited her to play the piano for fun."
Shen Changze looked at Jiang Shu with dark eyes.
Jiang Shu lowered his head and pretended not to notice, walked to the chessboard and sat down.
Xu Lingyi also sat down in front of the piano table and plucked the strings with her bare hands.
Shen Changze had no choice but to play chess with Jiang Shu while listening to the piano.
On a night of three people, there is always one person left unattended.
Jiang Shu rested for a while, then suddenly he put his hands on his stomach and his face twisted.
"What's wrong?" Shen Changze was surprised.
Jiang Shu said anxiously: "I have a stomachache. Come as soon as you go. Mr. Marquis will wait a moment."
After saying this, Jiang Shu hurriedly got up and went downstairs.
You don't have to think twice to know where she went.
Shen Changze frowned and stared at the half-played chess game, feeling bored.
After Xu Lingyi finished playing two pieces of music, Jiang Shu slowly returned to the room.
"Whose turn is it?" Jiang Shu asked, holding the chess piece.
Shen Changze said without interest: "You."
"Oh." Jiang Shu observed the chess game, focused and serious.
Shen Changze glanced and his eyes fell on Xu Lingyi who was playing the piano.
Xu Lingyi has a beautiful face, slim figure and gentle temperament.
Shen Changze couldn't help but think of the wedding night, his throat rolling up and down.
Speaking of which, she had been in the house for nearly a month, and he had only slept with her for one night.
"Master Hou, it's your turn." Jiang Shu reminded in a clear voice.
Shen Changze came back to his senses and dropped a piece at random.
"Eh?" Jiang Shu stared at the chess game and muttered in a low voice: "What does the Marquis mean by being here? Could it be that he is trying to get me and lure me into a trap?"
Shen Changze coughed and looked at his position carefully.
The two of them went back and forth, and the game ended quickly.
Jiang Shu was in high spirits and started a new game.
Shen Changze felt extremely regretful at this time. Why did he play chess when he had nothing to do?
On such a beautiful day, with a beautiful woman by your side, wouldn't it be nice to watch the moon and talk about the sky?
"Ah! My stomach hurts again. Just go and come back." Jiang Shu covered his stomach and ran away.
Shen Changze looked stunned.
Chu Yu thought to herself: "Madam, she must have had a bad stomach from eating too much ice. I'll go find some medicine to cure diarrhea."
Shen Changze frowned upon hearing this, with disgust on his face.
Xu Lingyi lowered his head and played the piano, knowing it well.
