Rong Chaoxi always appears at critical moments, which is very distressing.
After the banquet, Jiang Lingyu watched Chaoxi being carried away before returning to the bridal chamber. Before closing the door, he checked under the table and behind the curtain.
He closed the door with peace of mind and walked briskly into the inner room, where he saw his wife sitting by the bed in a daze with red eyes.
"Xu Qing..." Jiang Lingyu's face was full of worry.
"But...you miss home?"
"No, no..." A tear fell and Rong Xuqing quickly raised his hand to wipe it away.
Jiang Lingyu raised his hand and gently wiped away her tears.
"I'm sorry, Brother Jiang, I didn't mean to cry." Rong Xuqing choked with sobs.
"Chaoxi, Chaoxi is still too young and doesn't understand anything. She only knows that her sister will eat with her every day."
"She just asked me if she could have mutton biscuits for breakfast tomorrow. She hasn't had them in a long time..."
But tomorrow...my sister can't have breakfast with her.
"It's okay, we'll go back and have dinner with Chaoxi tomorrow." Jiang Lingyu held her in his arms and comforted her carefully.
The candlelight flickered, the shadows of the trees danced in the moonlight, and the sobbing in the house gradually subsided.
"Xu Qing, is it okay tonight?"
After a long time, Jiang Lingyu asked cautiously.
"ah?"
After a moment's reaction, Rong Xuqing understood, and the sadness disappeared instantly.
"But...but, yes..."
After saying these two words, his head was already buried in Jiang Lingyu's chest.
Jiang Lingyu suddenly smiled.
Xu Qing's emotions are really simple.
The wind blew through the branches, and the shadows on the window swayed endlessly.
Someone whispered softly, "Xuqing, don't be afraid."
The room warmed up.
The wind blows and the green gauze sways.
A snow-white arm stretched out from the gauze curtain, trying to grab something.
Jiang Lingyu grabbed the hand, kissed the fingertips, and guided it to his shoulder.
The slender fingertips clasped the piece of flesh.
"Brother Jiang..." the woman panted, her voice filled with pain.
A drop of sweat slid down the tip of his tall nose.
Along with a tear on the woman's cheek, it rolled into the tangled black hair.
"Xiao Qing'er... call me like you did when we were little." He coaxed in a low voice.
"Brother Yu..." she called in a daze.
The wind is strong tonight, and the candlelight and the gauze curtains sway all night long.
…
The rain was drizzling and there were few people on the street.
Rong Baichuan hurriedly rode his horse towards the palace.
"Madam, there may be heavy rain today. Go back to the house and rest." Yan Zhu took out a cloak and put it on Qin Nanjing.
"I don't know what happened in the palace. Why are you calling so urgently?"
Qin Nanjing felt a little uneasy and went to Wutong Courtyard with an umbrella.
"Big sister, I want two sesame cakes, hehe... they're delicious..."
Rong Chaoxi slept soundly. The violent storm outside had no effect on her at all.
With a kick of the little feet, the chubby white belly was revealed.
Rong Yue'e covered it several times but was told to kick it off.
Helplessly, I finally only pulled over a corner to cover my belly button.
"Yue'e..." Qin Nanjing called softly at the door.
Rong Yue'e ran over on tiptoe, "Auntie."
She saluted respectfully.
"No need to be so reserved." Qin Nanjing ordered someone to bring breakfast into the house.
"You eat first, I'll go wake Chaoxi up."
Rong Yue'e sat down obediently but did not pick up her chopsticks.
Qin Nanjing held a mutton pancake and fanned it to her taste.
The little nose twitched, and the little guy who was hooked on the bed slowly opened his eyes.
"Wow..." The little guy was no longer sleepy and picked up the pancake and started chewing it.
"Is big sister back?" asked the little guy.
"This was sent by your brother-in-law. Big sister, please come back in the evening to have dinner with Chaoxi." She picked up the little guy and walked to the table.
Rong Yue'e then started to eat breakfast, but her expression remained reserved.
Qin Nanjing gently rubbed Rong Yue'e's head.
This girl always treats herself as a servant, taking care of my daily life.
…
Chiang's Mansion.
Jiang Lingyu gave Rong Xuqing a light kiss on the forehead.
She had a big fight last night and only fell asleep this morning.
He closed the door gently, told no one to disturb him, and rode into the palace.
The rain was getting heavier, and when Jiang Lingyu arrived at the imperial study, most of his clothes were already wet.
There was silence in the hall, and memorials were scattered all over the floor.
The emperor sat at the head of the table, his hand on his forehead, and his expression could not be seen clearly.
Rong Baichuan sat on one side, with several red marks on his face, and remained silent.
"Your Majesty, General Rong." Jiang Lingyu entered the hall and carefully brought the two back to their senses.
"Ling Yu, you're here." The emperor's voice sounded a little tired, and he handed him a memorial.
Jiang Lingyu stepped forward to take it, and the emperor said, "You must investigate this matter secretly. Don't let anyone know until you have found out the truth."
Jiang Lingyu opened the letter and his eyes suddenly widened.
The eldest prince... or the bloodline of the previous dynasty?
Jiang Lingyu looked above the emperor's head and then at the memorial.
"What's that look in your eyes?"
"It's not that the emperor was cuckolded, it's that there's something wrong with the Fang family!" Rong Baichuan shouted angrily.
He would protect his brother's face with all his might.
"I...I didn't say anything." Jiang Lingyu muttered softly.
I feel like Uncle Rong... No, my father-in-law doesn’t like me as much as before.
"Rong Baichuan, shut up!" The emperor was so angry that his teeth were itching.
This morning, Rong Baichuan entered the palace. After learning that the eldest prince was struck by lightning in the imperial tomb of the previous dynasty yesterday, he looked at him with a strange look.
Then he blurted out, "Are you cuckolded?"
He also sighed in a sly way, "They're brothers indeed. Even this is in sync?"
