Chapter 132 Not used to it
After the meal, Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu ate happily, but Shen Changhuai didn't know how to taste it.
After dinner, Yu Zheng went to discuss the landslide with Shen Changhuai, while Jiang Shu followed his maid to the main courtyard.
The county government house is not big, but after walking a short distance and passing through an arch, we arrived at the main courtyard where Shen Changhuai and his wife lived.
As night fell, Wang Yueyao rocked the cradle gently in the inner room to coax the child to sleep.
She sat bent in front of the cradle, gazing at the child in the cradle with a focused and gentle expression, humming nursery rhymes with a smile on her face, demure and delicate.
"Yue Yao." Jiang Shu called softly when he saw this tender scene.
"Sister-in-law." Wang Yueyao turned her head when she heard the voice and saw Jiang Shu with a face full of joy.
When she married Shen Changhuai, although she only lived in Jing'an Marquis Mansion for two or three months, Jiang Shu treated her very well.
The two were similar in age and had similar temperaments, so they naturally developed some friendship.
After Wang Yueyao left for Beijing with Shen Changhuai, she never saw Jiang Shu again and missed her very much.
"Can I still call you like this?" Wang Yueyao stood up and held Jiang Shu's hand.
Jiang Shu shook his head: "No, I'm a few months older than you, so just call me sister."
"Yes, Sister Jiang." Wang Yueyao smiled happily and pulled Jiang Shu to sit in front of the cradle.
Jiang Shu saw the child in the cradle, with his dark eyes open, and reached out to touch his chubby face: "Hey, you're not asleep yet."
The half-year-old child, who was teased by Jiang Shu, stared at her and giggled.
When Wang Yueyao saw it, she also laughed: "No wonder Youlin refuses to sleep today. His feelings are waiting to see Sister Jiang."
Wang Yueyao said, gently picking up the child and placing it in Jiang Shu's arms.
Jiang Shu awkwardly took it and held it carefully, as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Pfft--" Wang Yueyao was amused by her funny appearance, and gently guided her on the correct posture to hold the baby.
The child was soft and cute in his arms, and Jiang Shu's expression softened unconsciously.
Seeing her like this, Wang Yueyao sighed in her heart.
Jiang Shu is so virtuous and capable. If Shen Changze can treat her well and have children with her, he will surely be harmonious and prosperous.
It's a pity that Shen Changze lost his gentle and virtuous wife, the Marquis of Jing'an lost his shrewd mistress, and they also lost their generous eldest sister-in-law.
While the two were talking, Aunt Liu came over after hearing the news.
When she saw Jiang Shu, Aunt Liu was as friendly as if she were seeing her own daughter: "Madam."
Jiang Shu smiled and greeted her: "Auntie, you can't call her like that again."
"Yes, Miss Jiang." Aunt Liu realized she had made a mistake and quickly changed her words.
When Jiang Shu married into the Marquis of Jing'an, he not only supported Shen Changhuai in her studies, but also treated her with great kindness and tolerance.
And when she was able to leave the capital with Shen Changhuai and take office later, it was Jiang Shu who spoke for her and made the decision to let her leave.
It was all because of Jiang Shu that Shen Changhuai was able to gain fame and marry a virtuous and loving wife. She was able to enjoy her old age with her son and was not trapped in the Marquis's mansion.
It is no exaggeration to say that Jiang Shu, mother and son, had the gift of reinvention.
It is a great kindness that I would not dare to forget even if I have no teeth.
It's a pity that such a good girl is no longer their relative.
Aunt Liu's eyes were full of gratitude and regret.
"Sister Jiang, why are you dressed in men's clothing?" Wang Yueyao asked curiously.
Jiang Shuqing coughed and told them about her study in business and taking charge of Jiang Ji.
Wang Yueyao's eyes widened when she heard this, and she was amazed: "Sister Jiang, you are so awesome."
It is rare for a woman to be in business, and it is even rarer for a woman to be the owner of a business. Jiang Shu can be regarded as an unusual woman.
Aunt Liu, who had been trapped in the house all her life and relied on others to live, was so shocked that she could not speak.
She never thought that a woman could live like this.
Jiang Shu's experience was too novel for the women in the back house. Wang Yueyao and Aunt Liu listened attentively and were filled with admiration.
As the three of them talked, time flew by unknowingly. It was not until the maid reminded them in a low voice that the child fell asleep in Jiang Shu's arms that the three of them realized that it was getting late.
"Sister Jiang is tired today. Go back and rest quickly. We will talk tomorrow." Wang Yueyao took the child back and asked her maid to take Jiang Shu back to the guest house.
Jiang Shu was indeed a little tired and yawned twice on the way back.
"My boss is back." Tan Yu finished taking care of Zhuiyun and waited in the house to wait on Jiang Shu.
Jiang Shu caught a glimpse of the darkness in Yu Zheng's house and asked casually: "Isn't the prince back yet?"
"Not yet, my master, let's go to bed first." Tan Yu neatly made the bed.
Jiang Shu took off his shoes, socks and outer clothing and lay on the soft and spacious bed, feeling a little uncomfortable.
After Tanyu turned off the light and left, Jiang Shu closed his eyes and couldn't help but think of Yu Zheng's embrace.
It's really terrible.
Shaking his head vigorously, Jiang Shu forced himself to calm down and abandon distracting thoughts to sleep peacefully.
The moon was rising above the willow branches, and Yu Zheng returned to the guest house with exhaustion. He saw that Jiang Shu's room was silent, and his dark eyes were a little sad.
Lying on the bed sleepily, Yu Zheng always felt that his arms were empty, as if something was missing.
After tossing and turning under the quilt several times, Yu Zheng made up his mind to marry Jiang Shu back home as soon as possible. Otherwise, he might not be able to sleep well all night.
The next day, as soon as Jiang Shu had breakfast, Wang Yueyao sent her maid to invite him.
After chatting until noon, Shen Changhuai came back.
Seeing Jiang Shu, Shen Changhuai looked complicated.
"Miss Jiang, I want to say a few words to you."
Although he called Jiang Shu 'sister-in-law' in the past, he was actually older than Jiang Shu. Therefore, after Jiang Shu and Shen Changze reconciled, he could not call her sister like Wang Yueyao, but could only call her Miss Jiang.
"Okay." Jiang Shu stood up and went to the garden pavilion with Shen Changhuai.
The two sat opposite each other, and Shen Changhuai poured tea for Jiang Shu himself.
"What do you want to say?" Jiang Shu got straight to the point.
Shen Changhuai said hesitantly: "What is your relationship with King Jing...?"
Jiang Shu chuckled: "That's the relationship you see."
Now that she has decided to be with Yu Zheng, she is not afraid of other people's eyes, nor does she want to cover up or deny it.
Hearing her personal admission, Shen Changhuai took a breath and said worriedly: "The royal family is not as good as the prince's mansion. With your status, it will be difficult for you to marry King Jing."
Jiang Shu raised his eyebrows and said, "I thought the same thing as you, but the prince said that was his obstacle and he would solve it."
Shen Changhuai was startled when he heard this, then he laughed and felt relieved: "It seems that King Jing treats you very well."
In this way, he felt relieved.
Yu Zheng was walking through the garden and saw Jiang Shu and Shen Changhuai talking and laughing from a distance, and his heart felt a little blocked.
He understood that Jiang Shu and Shen Changhuai were just old friends, but he was unhappy when he saw her getting along with the man next to her.
Wrinkling his eyebrows, Yu Zheng said in a deep voice: "Go and get ready. We will set off back to Shangjing tomorrow."
"Yes." Zhufeng took the order to make arrangements.
It's been nearly a month since they left Beijing this time, and it's really time to go back.
At lunch, Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng ate together.
Yu Zheng observed her expression and said, "There is nothing important in Qi County. We will return to Beijing tomorrow."
Jiang Shu nodded, and finally came to his senses and asked: "The landslide incident was found out so quickly?"
"No."
Yu Zheng swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Master Shen and I have made general inferences. The specific details need to be verified."
"Let's go back to Shangjing first, and I'll handle it after he finds out."
"Oh." Jiang Shu understood.
At this time, Jiang Shu didn't know that this matter would be related to her.
