Chapter 129: Affirmation
Jiang Shu looked into Yu Zheng's eyes and saw that his deep ink eyes were full of affection and seriousness. She suddenly wanted to take a gamble.
Fortunately for her, she lost her life.
Jiang Shu nodded, his lips parted slightly: "I wish."
After receiving the affirmative answer, Yu Zheng's tense heart relaxed, and the corners of his lips curled up in joy.
He held Jiang Shu's face carefully and gently kissed away the tears from her eyes.
"Don't cry, I feel bad."
"Okay." Jiang Shu responded obediently and burst out into a smile of joy. His eyes suddenly shone brightly and his pretty face shone brightly.
Yu Zheng's heart was filled with emotion as he watched, and he held her tightly in his arms.
Yu Zheng's embrace was warm and reassuring, making Jiang Shu nostalgic for him.
She leaned against Yu Zheng's broad chest, deeply feeling the warmth of this moment, and suddenly a cold hard object was stuffed into her hand.
"What is it?" Jiang Shu was slightly surprised and took a look at it.
It was a piece of jadeite jade pendant that was completely green in color, as crystal clear as if filled with water. It was of extremely high quality and was rarely seen in the world.
"This is..." Jiang Shu was surprised and unsure.
"My name pendant." Yu Zheng tapped his fingertips, pointed at the center of the jade pendant and said, "Here is my title."
Jiang Shu looked at the word 'Jing' and said in surprise: "What are you doing for me with such a precious thing?"
This is not just a priceless jade pendant, it represents Yu Zheng's identity. Holding it is equivalent to possessing Yu Zheng's rights.
"A famous pendant promises love, and you can't go back on it." Yu Zheng took her hand and held the jade pendant tightly in her hand.
The cool touch of the jade pendant reminded Jiang Shu that Yu Zheng was deeply in love with her and could not let her down.
Jiang Shu was deeply touched and promised in a solemn voice: "If you don't regret it, I won't regret it."
The two embraced each other affectionately, and while they were still in love, there was a knock on the door.
"Mr. Jiang, is your brother feeling better?"
It's Doctor Feng.
It is inconvenient for Yu Zheng's identity to be exposed when he is away from home. Others regarded him as Jiang Shu's elder brother, so he simply took Jiang Shu's surname.
Reluctantly getting up, Yu Zheng put on his coat and opened the door.
Doctor Feng looked anxious and said: "Someone is suffering from an urgent illness. I have to make a medical visit and won't be back until this afternoon. Let me see how your brother is doing."
"Thank you." Yu Zheng turned aside to let Dr. Feng enter the room.
Doctor Feng quickly walked to the bed and diagnosed Jiang Shu.
"It's strange. Even though the fever has subsided, why is your face still so red?"
Jiang Shu huddled under the quilt in embarrassment, not knowing how to answer.
Fortunately, Yu Zheng spoke up at the right time to help her out: "When I was sleeping, I covered my head with the quilt. I was suppressing the redness."
"Oh." Dr. Feng cleared up the confusion, checked Jiang Shu's pulse and said, "It should be fine. Just drink the medicine to strengthen the body and dispel the cold for one more day."
After the consultation, Dr. Feng prepared the medicine and handed it to Zhu Zhu, then hurried away with the medicine box on his back.
Yu Zheng asked Zhuzi for hot water, twisted the handkerchief and wiped Jiang Shu's face.
The door of the house was open. Ma, who was passing by the door with a vegetable basin, saw this scene and exclaimed in surprise: "You brothers have such a good relationship."
Jiang Shu's back felt hot, he grabbed the veil and said, "I'll do it myself."
Knowing that she was thin-skinned, Yu Zheng didn't force her, but there was a faint smile on his lips, indicating that he was in a good mood.
After washing up, Jiang Shu went to the courtyard to get some fresh air and chatted with Ma who was washing vegetables.
"Auntie, how far is it from Shangjing?"
Ma shook his head: "I don't know, it's far away anyway."
The farthest place Ma has ever been is the county seat. He has never been to Shangjing and doesn't know much about it.
Jiang Shu was a little disappointed. Zhuzhu, who was chopping firewood at the side, said: "Master said that the capital is in that direction. It will take a few days to walk to the county seat."
Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng looked in the direction of the pillar's fingers, and their hearts sank.
The pillar points to the east, and they also came from the east yesterday. In other words, they are going in the opposite direction and are getting further and further away from Shangjing.
Fortunately, it's not too far away, and I can get back in an hour.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Shu continued to inquire: "How far is it from the town to the county seat?"
"A hundred miles away."
"Is there any carriage and horse in the town to go to the county seat?"
With the money they had left, it was impossible to buy carriages and horses, so they could only take them or rent them.
Zhuzi split the firewood and said, "No. But Master will go to the city to buy medicinal materials in a few days."
Jiang Shu looked happy and asked quickly: "Does your master have a carriage?"
"No."
"Then how does your master get to the county seat?"
Even if you can walk a hundred miles away, you can't carry the medicinal materials back by force.
"Master has an ox cart." Zhu Zhu said, waving his axe.
Jiang Shu was speechless for a while after hearing this.
She suspected that Zhu Zhu's intentions were sincere, and that he would be so angry that he would not pay for his life.
Fortunately, I finally found out the important information. Now I am waiting for Dr. Feng to come back and discuss with him when to go to the county seat.
When the bright sunshine shone into the yard, Ma made breakfast.
Jiang Shu only drank half a bowl of porridge for dinner yesterday. He was already hungry, and he swallowed greedily at the smell of the food.
"Eat slowly." Yu Zheng told her while picking up vegetables for her.
Jiang Shu swallowed the food in his mouth and said shyly: "You can eat it yourself and don't worry about me."
Yu Zheng took care of her too carefully, making her feel like a waste and suffocating slightly.
Sensing something strange about her, Yu Zheng's dark eyes flashed slightly and he concentrated on eating his meal.
He knew that she was different from the other women and wanted her to give her enough space and respect.
Seeing that Yu Zheng stopped picking up vegetables for her, Jiang Shu breathed a sigh of relief and gave Yu Zheng a piece of meat with his backhand.
Yu Zheng was stunned and looked up at her.
Jiang Shu blinked and gave him a sly smile.
After breakfast, Zhu Zhu dutifully delivered the freshly fried medicine.
Looking at the dark concoction and smelling the unpleasant smell, Jiang Shu felt a bitter taste in his mouth and began to repeat his old trick.
"My illness has been cured and I don't need to drink anymore."
Zhuzi rolled his eyes: "Good medicine tastes bitter, so you have to drink it."
Jiang Shu cleverly defended: "It's a medicine that's three parts poisonous, so drink less."
Zhu Zhu looked at Yu Zheng.
Yu Zheng took the medicine and asked him to go about it. After closing the door, he said, "But you want me to feed you in person?"
Yu Zheng originally just wanted to scare Jiang Shu so that she would drink the medicine obediently.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Shu rolled his eyes after hearing this and said, "Okay."
Yu Zheng said that he personally fed her medicine last night and ate sweets with her. But she has no memory and is curious about what it feels like.
Everyone has already been intimate, so there is no need to be pretentious.
Yu Zheng was a little startled by his sudden boldness, and asked uncertainly: "Do you really want me to feed you?"
Jiang Shu nodded, looking shy and expectant.
Naturally, Yu Zheng would not refuse such a request. He picked up the medicine bowl, blew the medicine on to warm it, and took a big sip.
Then Yu Zheng approached Jiang Shu, stretched out his hand to clasp her chin, raised it, leaned down and kissed her.
"Gu——gu——" The bitter concoction passed from Yu Zheng's mouth to Jiang Shu's, and she frowned and swallowed it.
After a few mouthfuls, Jiang Shu couldn't bear the pain anymore and didn't want to drink anymore.
Yu Zheng drank the rest of the medicine in the bowl into his mouth, put the medicine bowl on the table, stretched out his long arms to wrap around Jiang Shu's slender and soft waist, and kissed her again.
Jiang Shu frowned and refused to open her mouth, so Yu Zheng pried open her teeth with the tip of his tongue and forced the medicine in.
Jiang Shu refused to swallow, so he kissed her deeply, forcing Jiang Shu to swallow.
Jiang Shu never knew that kissing could be so painful!
She pushed Yu Zheng away and wanted to drink water.
Yu Zheng restrained her, took out a candy, put it in his mouth, and ate it with her.
