Chapter 129: Love

Jiang Shu looked into Yu Zheng's eyes and saw that his dark eyes were full of affection and seriousness. She suddenly wanted to take a gamble.

If she got it, she would be lucky. If she lost it, she would die.

Jiang Shu nodded and opened her cherry lips softly: "I do."

After getting a positive answer, Yu Zheng's tense heart relaxed, and the corners of his lips raised to show joy.

He held Jiang Shu's face carefully and kissed away the tears from her eyes gently.

"Don't cry, I will feel bad."

"Okay." Jiang Shu responded obediently, and smiled happily. Her eyes were shining and her pretty face was bright and beautiful.

Yu Zheng's heart was moved and he held her tightly in his arms.

Yu Zheng's embrace was warm and reassuring, which made Jiang Shu nostalgic.

She leaned on 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 startled, and took it to look at it.

It was a jade pendant that was all green, crystal clear as if filled with water, and of extremely high quality and rare in the world.

"This is..." Jiang Shu was hesitant.

"My name pendant." Yu Zheng tapped his fingertips and pointed to the center of the jade pendant and said, "Here is my title."

Jiang Shu looked at the word "Jing" and was surprised: "What are you going to do with such a precious thing?"

This is not just a priceless jade pendant, it represents Yu Zheng's identity, and holding it is equivalent to owning Yu Zheng's rights.

"The name pendant is a token of love, and you cannot regret it." Yu Zheng held her hand and held the jade pendant tightly in her hand.

The cool touch of the jade pendant reminded Jiang Shu that Yu Zheng loved her deeply and should not let her down.

Jiang Shu was deeply moved and promised in a serious voice: "If you don't regret it, I won't regret it either."

The two embraced each other affectionately, and when they were in love, there was a knock on the door.

"Mr. Jiang, is your brother feeling better?"

It was Doctor Feng.

When he was out, Yu Zheng's identity was not convenient to be exposed. Everyone thought he was Jiang Shu's brother, so he simply took Jiang Shu's surname.

Reluctantly getting up, Yu Zheng put on his coat and opened the door.

Doctor Feng said anxiously: "Someone has an emergency. I have to go out for a consultation and will be back in the afternoon. Let me see how your brother is doing."

"Thank you." Yu Zheng stepped aside to let Doctor Feng in.

Doctor Feng walked quickly to the bed and diagnosed Jiang Shu.

"Strange, your fever has gone down, why is your face still so red?"

Jiang Shu huddled in the quilt embarrassedly, not knowing how to answer.

Fortunately, Yu Zheng spoke up to help her out in time: "You covered your head with the quilt when you slept, and your face turned red."

"Oh." Doctor Feng explained the confusion, and after taking Jiang Shu's pulse, he said: "It should be fine, just take some medicine to strengthen your body and dispel the cold for another day."

After the examination, Doctor Feng prepared the medicine and handed it to Zhuzi, then hurried away with the medicine box on his back.

Yu Zheng asked Zhuzi for hot water, and rubbed a towel to wipe Jiang Shu's face.

The door was open. Ma, who was passing by with a dish basin in her hand, saw this scene and exclaimed in surprise: "You two brothers have such a good relationship."

Jiang Shu's

face turned red after hearing this, and he grabbed the handkerchief and said: "I'll come by myself." Knowing that she was shy, Yu Zheng did not force her, but just had a faint smile on his lips, indicating that he was in a very good mood.

After washing up, Jiang Shu went to the yard to get some fresh air and chatted with Ma who was washing dishes.

"Auntie, how far is it from here to Shangjing?"

Ma shook her head: "I don't know, but it's far away anyway."

The farthest place Ma had been to was the county town. She had never been to Shangjing and didn't know much about it.

Jiang Shu was a little disappointed. Zhuzi, who was chopping wood next to him, said: "Master said that Shangjing is in that direction. It will take a few days to walk to the county town."

Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng looked in the direction of Zhuzi's finger, and their hearts sank.

Zhuzi pointed to the east, and they also came from the east yesterday. In other words, they went the wrong way and were getting farther and farther away from Beijing.

Fortunately, the distance was not too far, and they could get back in an hour.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Shu continued to ask: "How far is it from the town to the county town?"

"About a hundred miles."

"Is there a carriage from the town to the county town?"

With the remaining silver, it was impossible to buy a carriage, so they could only take or rent one.

Zhuzi chopped wood and said: "No. But the master will go to the city to buy medicinal herbs in a few days."

Jiang Shu's face was delighted, and he hurriedly asked: "Does your master have a carriage?"

"No."

"Then how does your master go to the county town?"

A hundred miles, even if you can walk there, you can't carry the medicinal herbs back.

"Master has an ox cart." Zhuzi said while swinging an axe.

Jiang Shu was speechless for a while after hearing this.

She suspected that Zhuzi was sincere, the kind of person who would not spare someone's life if he was so angry that he would die.

Fortunately, she finally got the important information. Now she just had to wait for Doctor Feng to come back and discuss with him when to go to the county town.

When the bright sunshine shone into the yard, Ma prepared breakfast.

Jiang Shu was already hungry after only drinking half a bowl of porridge for dinner yesterday. She drooled at the smell of the food.

"Eat slowly." Yu Zheng instructed while picking up some food for her.

Jiang Shu swallowed the food in her mouth and said shyly, "Eat by yourself, don't worry about me."

Yu Zheng took care of her too carefully, making her feel like a waste and a little suffocated.

Noticing her strangeness, Yu Zheng's dark eyes flickered and he concentrated on eating his meal.

He knew that she was different from other women and he had to give her enough space and respect.

Seeing that Yu Zheng no longer picked up food for her, Jiang Shu breathed a sigh of relief and picked up a piece of meat for Yu Zheng.

Yu Zheng was stunned and looked up at her.

Jiang Shu blinked and gave him a sly smile.

After breakfast, Zhuzi dutifully brought the freshly boiled medicine.

Looking at the dark medicine and smelling the unpleasant smell, Jiang Shu felt bitter in his mouth and started to use the same old trick again.

"My illness has been cured, so I don't need to drink it."

Zhuzi rolled his eyes: "Good medicine tastes bitter, so you have to drink it."

Jiang Shu cleverly explained: "Medicine is three-quarters poisonous, drink less."

Zhuzi looked at Yu Zheng.

Yu Zheng took the medicine and asked him to go, and after closing the door, he said: "But do you want me to feed you myself?"

Yu Zheng just wanted to scare Jiang Shu so that she would drink the medicine obediently.

But Jiang Shu rolled her eyes and agreed: "Okay."

Yu Zheng said that he personally fed her the medicine last night and ate candy with her. But she had no memory of it, and was very curious about what it felt like.

They had already been intimate, so there was no need to pretend.

Yu Zheng was a little surprised by the sudden boldness, and asked uncertainly: "Do you really want me to feed you?"

Jiang Shu nodded, looking shy and expectant.

With such a request, Yu Zheng would naturally not refuse. He picked up the medicine bowl, blew the medicine to warm it up, and drank a big gulp.

Then Yu Zheng approached Jiang Shu, stretched out his hand to hold her chin and lifted it up, leaned over and kissed her.

"Gu-gu-gu-" The bitter medicine passed from Yu Zheng's mouth to Jiang Shu's mouth, and she swallowed it with a frown.

After feeding her a few mouthfuls, Jiang Shu couldn't stand the bitterness and didn't want to drink anymore.

Yu Zheng drank all the remaining medicine in the bowl, put the medicine bowl on the table, stretched out his long arms to hold Jiang Shu's slender and soft waist, and kissed her again.

Jiang Shu frowned and refused to open her mouth, so Yu Zheng used the tip of his tongue to pry open her teeth and force the medicine into her mouth.

Jiang Shu refused to swallow, so he kissed her deeply and forced her to swallow.

Jiang Shu never knew that kissing could be so bitter!

She pushed Yu Zheng away and wanted to drink water.

Yu Zheng held her back, took out a candy, put it in his mouth, and ate it with her.
