Chapter 29: Insisting on

doing things Cheng Jinchu's arrogant attitude annoyed Old Lady Shen, making her very unhappy.

Flicking her sleeves heavily, Old Lady Shen admonished: "You have indeed made great contributions to the Marquis's family by giving birth to the eldest son and daughter. Changze appreciates your hard work and asks for your permission to make you his co-wife. This is a rare favor in the entire Shangjing."

"But if you don't know how to cherish it and waste his sympathy for you, it will be too late to regret it."

"Don't always think about using the child to attack you. You have to understand that if you can give birth to this child, others can also give birth to it. As long as it is Changze's child, it is also the Marquis's child. You and your child are not irreplaceable."

After the last sentence fell, Cheng Jinchu was struck by lightning and his heart was shocked.

Seeing that she seemed to be more sober, Old Lady Shen advised: "If you want to keep your position in Changze's heart, don't be willful and make trouble anymore. It's more important to give birth to the child in peace."

Cheng Jinchu looked at the top of the tent blankly, feeling helpless and painful, but not as angry as before.

Seeing this, Shen's mother said gently: "Jinchu, Changze is doing this for you. You have also seen Yan Yang's stubbornness. Forcing him to study may cause trouble. It's better to take a step back first."

"As for Wenxiangzui, Changze is not good at running the business. If it is not handed over to Shu'er, it will probably close soon."

"I have told you the reason. You should weigh it yourself." Old Lady Shen was impatient to persuade her anymore and got up and left.

Shen's mother persuaded her gently and told the servants to take good care of her.

It was already dinner time, but Shen Changze didn't want to eat in the Suoyun Courtyard, so he went to Tingzhu Tower.

Jiang Shu washed his hands and was about to eat, but was surprised to see Shen Changze.

Out of courtesy, Jiang Shu asked, "My Lord, have you used it?"

"Not yet, bring a pair of bowls and chopsticks." Shen Changze sat down and ordered Tan Yu unceremoniously.

Tan Yu reluctantly took the bowls and chopsticks.

No talking while eating, no talking while sleeping. The two ate in silence without communicating.

After dinner, Chu Yu served tea.

Jiang Shu finished a cup, and seeing that Shen Changze had no intention of leaving, Mo Ming felt a little annoyed.

"Madam, the hot water is ready, do you want to take a bath now?" Tan Yu asked.

Jiang Shu responded and got up to take a bath.

After taking a shower and washing her hair for half an hour, Jiang Shu thought Shen Changze should have left, but she didn't expect that when she came out in a light gauze, Shen Changze was still there.

He took a book and looked at it absent-mindedly.

Jiang Shu was stunned: "It's getting late, won't the Marquis go back to rest?"

"I'll stay here tonight." Shen Changze put down the book and said.

The person in front of him was wearing a lotus-colored gauze, with half of her shoulders transparent. Her long hair was casually scattered, and her purity was full of charm, which made him unable to take his eyes away.

Noticing the movement in Shen Changze's eyes, Jiang Shu tugged at the gauze and said, "I heard that the bamboo building doesn't have the Marquis's change of clothes. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient."

For some reason, she didn't want Shen Changze to stay overnight.

Maybe it was the hot weather, or maybe it was because she had been bothered by many things recently, but she had no interest at all.

"It doesn't matter, let Tan Yu go get a set." Shen Changze made up his mind.

Jiang Shu pursed his lips and said meaningfully, "My Lord, you should go back in person and tell Madam Jin, so that she won't send someone to call you again."

Thinking back to the previous failed attempts to stay overnight, Shen Changze understood and felt that Jiang Shu's words made sense.

"Prepare the chessboard, I'll be back soon." Shen Changze got up and left.

Jiang Shu hurried into the inner room and changed into an outer coat.

The heat was unbearable, and she thought there was no one in the room, so she wore a cool gauze, not to seduce him.

Thinking that Shen Changze would come back and couldn't avoid him tonight, Jiang Shu was a little irritable.

Isn't he very satisfied with Xu Lingyi? Why doesn't he go find her ? Oh

, Xu Lingyi.

Jiang Shu's eyes lit up, and he called Tan Yu to whisper a few words.

Tan Yu looked at Jiang Shu strangely after hearing her, not understanding what she meant by this.

Jiang Shu blushed and coughed lightly to urge: "Go quickly."

Tan Yu had no choice but to go.

Shen Changze has been living in the same room with Cheng Jinchu, sleeping on the same bed, and naturally put their clothes together.

He walked into the room quietly, took his clothes and was about to leave, but Cheng Jinchu on the bed opened his eyes at some point and stared at him quietly.

"But I disturbed you," Shen Changze pretended to be calm.

Cheng Jinchu stared at the clothes in his hand and asked calmly: "What are you doing, husband?"

"I'm afraid of disturbing you while you are recuperating, so I'm going to rest somewhere else." Shen Changze said.

With Cheng Jinchu's current physical condition and mood, it is absolutely not suitable for her to live with her, so Shen Changze plans to live somewhere else.

"Where are you going, husband?" Cheng Jinchu stared into his eyes.

Shen Changze said truthfully: "Tingzhu Tower."

"Okay, husband, go." Just as she expected.

Cheng Jinchu grabbed the bed sheet tightly and watched Shen Changze leave.

People's hearts are fickle and unreliable. But as long as she keeps the child, she will always have a place in the Marquis' Mansion.

The moon was on the branches, and Shen Changze stepped into Tingzhu Tower after bathing and changing clothes.

While still downstairs, he heard the voices of women talking in the main house upstairs.

Thinking that Jiang Shu was talking to a maid, Shen Changze didn't think much about it and went upstairs with expectation. "My Lord." Xu Lingyi greeted softly. Shen Changze was confused: "Why are you here?" Jiang Shu said: "I asked her to play the piano to entertain us." Shen Changze looked at Jiang Shu, his eyes dim and unclear. Jiang Shu lowered his head and pretended not to see it, and walked to the side of the chessboard and sat down.

Xu Lingyi also sat down in front of the piano table, plucking the strings with his bare hands. Shen Changze had no choice but to listen to the piano while playing chess with Jiang Shu. In a night for three people, there is always one extra person. Jiang Shu played for a while, and suddenly covered his stomach with his hands and his face twisted. "What's wrong?" Shen Changze was surprised. Jiang Shu said hurriedly, "I have a stomachache. I'll be right back. Lord Hou, please wait a moment."

After she finished speaking, Jiang Shu got up hurriedly and went downstairs.

It was easy to guess where she had gone.

Shen Changze frowned, staring at the half-finished chess game, feeling bored.

After Xu Lingyi finished playing two songs, Jiang Shu slowly returned to the room.

"Whose turn is it?" Jiang Shu asked, holding the chess piece.

Shen Changze said uninterestedly, "You."

"Oh." Jiang Shu observed the chess game, focused and serious.

Shen Changze glanced and his eyes fell on Xu Lingyi who was playing the piano.

Xu Lingyi had a pretty face, a graceful figure, and a gentle temperament.

Shen Changze couldn't help but think of the wedding night, and his throat rolled up and down.

Speaking of which, she had been in the mansion for nearly a month, and he had only spent one night with her.

"Marquis, it's your turn." Jiang Shu reminded in a clear voice.

Shen Changze came back to his senses and casually placed a piece.

"Eh," Jiang Shu stared at the chessboard and muttered, "Why did the Marquis place it here? Is he trying to lure me into a trap?"

Shen Changze coughed softly and looked at the position where he placed the piece.

The two of them went back and forth, and the game ended quickly.

Jiang Shu was in high spirits and started a new game.

Shen Changze regretted it very much at this time, and he didn't mention playing chess for no reason. On

such a beautiful day, with a beautiful woman by his side, wouldn't it be good to admire the moon and talk about the sky?

"Ah! My stomach hurts again, I'll be back soon." Jiang Shu ran away, holding his stomach.

Shen Changze was stunned.

Chu Yu said to himself: "Madam must have eaten too much ice and got a stomachache. I'll go find some medicine for diarrhea."

Shen Changze frowned and looked disgusted.

Xu Lingyi lowered her head and played the zither, knowing what was going on.
