Chapter 151 Night Party
When will he come back?
Jiang Shu frowned and calculated silently.
Yu Zheng left Beijing on May 11th, and today is May 29th. It might take a few more days.
"About ten days." Jiang Shu didn't dare to say too little, for fear that if Yu Zheng didn't come back on time, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother would start to have wild thoughts again.
When he comes back is not important, what is important is Yu Zheng's attitude.
Jiang's father said solemnly: "Lifelong events are not a joke. You must think about it carefully and discuss it with him properly."
"Your father is right. You can't be wronged for no reason." Jiang's mother also said.
Their daughter can choose not to marry into the royal family and not to be a princess, but she must not be wronged again.
Looking at the parents with pitiful and worried faces, Jiang Shu nodded and pursed her lips and said: "Daughter understands."
It was sunny for half a month, and it rained at the beginning of June.
There was nothing important to do in the shop recently, so Jiang Shu did not go out on rainy days.
Two days later, in the evening, the rain stopped and the sky cleared up, with gorgeous clouds appearing on the horizon.
Jiang Shu lay in front of the window, and could not help but think of the two sunsets she had watched with Yu Zheng.
She missed the sunsets, and she missed Yu Zheng even more.
The peonies that Yu Zheng picked for her last time had already withered, and she buried them in the yard as fertilizer.
Now it is June, and the peonies are over. If you want to enjoy them again, you can only wait until next year.
Jiang Shu was thinking wildly, and Jiang Ning quietly entered the room, sneaked close and patted her shoulder.
"Ah!" Jiang Shu, who was absorbed in thought, was startled.
Jiang Ning did not expect her reaction to be so big, and was also frightened.
"Sister, what are you thinking about?"
Jiang Shu turned around and glared at him, stroking his beating chest and said, "I won't tell you."
"Oh, I see, you must be thinking about your lover." Jiang Ning frowned, looking like he knew everything.
Jiang Shu's pretty face flushed instantly
when he was hit on the heart. "Hey, you're really thinking about your lover." Jiang Ning approached and teased.
Jiang Shu said shyly, "If you keep saying that, I'll ask you to go out."
"But it's not just me who has to go out, you have to go out too." Jiang Ning said, reaching out and pulling her up.
Jiang Shu was confused: "Where are we going?"
Jiang Ning said unhappily, "To eat! Thinking about your lover alone is not enough."
His sister's heart was filled with her lover, and she was afraid that she would get married soon, and she would not have many days left to spend with him.
Jiang Ning felt depressed and a little uncomfortable.
After dinner, Jiang Ning played chess and chatted with Jiang Shu until she yawned from sleepiness before letting her go.
"Hurry up and take a rest. You have to get up early for school tomorrow." Jiang Shu yawned and reminded her.
Jiang Ning smiled at her: "The academy will start a long vacation tomorrow."
Jiang Shu was stunned: "So you are deliberately making trouble for me, you little brat." Jiang
Shu glared at Jiang Ning and walked out angrily.
Jiang Ning smiled and waved: "Sister, take care and have a good sleep. I will wake you up early tomorrow morning."
Jiang Shu's legs trembled and she almost fell down.
"Miss, be careful." Tan Yu led the way with a lantern.
When the master and servant returned to Shutong Courtyard, Chu Yu had prepared hot water and waited for Jiang Shu to take a bath.
Jiang Shu was so sleepy that he almost fell asleep leaning against the bathtub.
After wiping off the water drops and putting on pajamas, Jiang Shu went to bed.
Chu Yu extinguished the candles in the room, closed the door and left.
It was a hot summer day, and the windows were open. The night breeze blew into the room, making Jiang Shu turn over comfortably.
The bed was facing the window. The dazed Jiang Shu heard a slight sound of landing and opened her eyes half asleep and half awake.
A thin black figure walked slowly towards her.
Jiang Shu woke up suddenly and sat up in fright.
"Don't be afraid, girl, it's me." Leng Xing said hurriedly.
Jiang Shu's head was dizzy, and she asked in confusion: "Why are you climbing through the window?"
Leng Xing never showed up on weekdays, and she wouldn't come out even if she called him. What happened tonight?
Leng Xing stamped his feet in front of the bed and whispered, "The master is back and wants to see the girl."
"Ah?" Jiang Shu's sleepiness disappeared instantly after hearing this, and he asked in a clear voice, "Where is he?"
Leng Xing said, "In the secluded alley behind Jiang's house, I'll take the girl out."
Jiang Shu got out of bed and put on his shoes. After walking two steps, he remembered that he was only wearing pajamas. He ran back in the dark and took the coat that Chu Yu had left at the head of the bed and put it on.
In order not to alarm Chu Yu and the others, Leng Xing helped Jiang Shu climb out the window, and finally used Qinggong to take her over the courtyard wall, and after a few takeoffs and landings, they arrived at the back alley.
"The master is waiting for the girl in the car." Leng Xing pointed to the carriage parked in the alley.
With the help of the thin moonlight, Jiang Shu vaguely saw the carriage in the alley, and walked towards it with joy in his heart.
Zhufeng was dozing off in the carriage. When he heard Jiang Shu's approaching footsteps, he jumped out of the carriage with his eyes open, put the bench in place, opened the door, and walked to the alley to talk to Leng Xing.
Jiang Shu lifted the hem of her skirt, stepped on the bench and got into the carriage.
Just like last time, as soon as Jiang Shu got into the carriage, she was pulled over by a strong arm.
The familiar embrace and the familiar crisp cedar scent made Jiang Shu want to cry for no reason: "You're back."
The night was too dark and there was no light in the car. Jiang Shu couldn't see Yu Zheng's face clearly, so she could only reach out to touch it.
Yu Zheng responded in a low voice and let her soft and warm hands wander on his face.
When she touched Yu Zheng's soft lips, Jiang Shu felt a strange heat flow from her fingertips to her whole body.
Yu Zheng grabbed her hand, pecked it lightly, pulled it aside, and covered her soft cherry lips.
When their lips touched, the suppressed emotions and thoughts in his heart burst out instantly, and Jiang Shu took the initiative to put his arms around Yu Zheng's neck.
This action was a great encouragement to Yu Zheng. He put one hand around her waist and the other hand on the back of her head, gradually going deeper.
"Hmm--" Jiang Shu trembled and let out a moan.
This moan greatly stimulated Yu Zheng, and he kissed her more fiercely, as if he wanted to tear the person in his arms apart and eat him into his stomach.
Her tender lips were sucked so hard that it hurt, and Jiang Shu pushed away painfully.
Yu Zheng reluctantly let her go, and panted against her forehead.
After a passionate kiss, Jiang Shu also panted softly, and after a while, he said, "Did you just arrive in Shangjing?"
With Yu Zheng's self-disciplined and polite character, he would not have chosen to see her so late if he had not returned late at night.
"Yes, I just arrived." Yu Zheng's voice was hoarse, revealing a bit of fatigue.
A few days ago, he received a secret letter from Zhuiyun, and after learning that Jiang Shu was being sought after by various families, he was so anxious that he could not sleep at night.
He accelerated the plan to wipe out the bandit's lair, and handed the follow-up matters to Shen Changhuai and Zhou Boxu, while he rushed back to Shangjing day and night.
Along the way, he stopped at the post station to rest for one night, and spent the rest of the time in the car.
This night was because Zhufeng and the accompanying guards could not hold on any longer, so they had to go to the post station to rest.
Rushing back to Shangjing tonight, Yu Zheng asked the guards to go back to the palace to rest, and he and Zhufeng went directly to Jiang's house.
He wanted to see her and couldn't wait until midnight.
"But are you tired?" Hearing the tiredness in Yu Zheng's voice, Jiang Shu asked gently.
Yu Zheng hugged her tightly, buried his face in her neck and said, "I was anxious to see you, and I haven't slept for a day and a night."
Although he dozed off in the car on the way, he was restless and didn't fall asleep, and the bumpy carriage made it difficult to sleep well.
"Why are you in such a hurry? I won't run away." Jiang Shu felt distressed and a little amused.
Yu Zheng, who was usually introverted and calm, could be as willful as a child.
Yu Zheng gritted his teeth and said, "I won't run away. If I don't come back, you will be robbed by someone."
Yu Zheng never thought that he almost lost his wife just because he left Beijing to fight a bandit.
