Chapter 3: Apologize

"Hiss!" Although it was not boiling soup, the back of Jiang Shu's hand was still burned red, and she gasped in pain.

"Madam!" Chu Yu hurried forward, wiped the soup stains for Jiang Shu with a wet towel, and asked Tan Yu to fetch cold water for Jiang Shu to soak.

The sudden change made everyone stunned. After Shen's mother came to her senses, she quickly ordered the servants: "Go and invite Doctor Fang."

Doctor Fang was a rare female doctor. Jiang Shu paid a lot of money to support her in the Marquis' Mansion so that she could treat Madam Shen.

"Yan Yang, apologize to your mother quickly." Cheng Jinchu pulled the dazed Yan Yang over.

The five-year-old child seemed to be frightened and refused to speak.

Cheng Jinchu was anxious: "Yan Yang..."

"Okay, don't scare the child, it's just a burn, just apply some burn medicine." Old Madam Shen was a little unhappy.

In her eyes, Jiang Shu was naturally not as important as her great-grandson.

Jiang Shu, who had lowered her head to check her injuries, looked up and saw Old Madam Shen, who was cold and didn't care about her hurt feelings, and her heart sank.

In the past few years, Old Madam Shen has been bedridden. Not only did she spend a lot of money to invite a female doctor, she also searched for the best medicinal materials in Beijing and boiled them herself for her to take.

All these things didn't get her any affection.

The conscience of this marquis's mansion is really rotten from the root.

Jiang Shu felt cold all over her body and didn't want to stay any longer.

But as soon as she got up, Female Doctor Fang came.

"Madam, let me take a look." Doctor Fang looked anxious, more concerned about Jiang Shu's injury than anyone else in the room.

Jiang Shu felt a little warmer in his heart, and said softly: "It's not serious, let's go back to the bamboo building to see it."

"Yes." Doctor Fang followed Jiang Shu with her medicine box on her back.

"Wait." Old Madam Shen called them.

"Since you are not seriously injured, let Doctor Fang take a look at the two children first. They were scared just now."

The two children were indeed scared, but not to the point of being scared. Old Madam Shen didn't care about Jiang Shu at all.

"The burns are painful, let Doctor Fang take a look at Madam first." Tan Yu was so angry that she pulled Doctor Fang to leave.

Old Madam Shen was furious: "Stop! When did it become your turn as a maid to make decisions in the Marquis' Mansion?"

Tan Yu's face turned red after being scolded, but she dared not speak.

Jiang Shu looked at Old Madam Shen indifferently, and reminded in a cold voice: "Grandma, have you forgotten that I invited Doctor Fang?"

"You... you are rebellious!" Old Madam Shen's old face turned blue with anger.

Jiang Shu was too lazy to pay attention to her and left without looking back.

Doctor Fang followed without hesitation.

First, as Jiang Shu said, she was hired by Jiang Shu.

Second, she took a quick look and found that the two children looked normal and there was nothing wrong.

"Look! This is the good wife you chose for Changze." After Jiang Shu left, Old Madam Shen took out her anger on Shen's mother.

Shen's mother muttered with a grievance: "This matter was originally wrong by mother. Besides, you agreed to it at the beginning."

Old Madam Shen's face sank: "What do you mean? I am old..."

"Grandma." Shen Changze, who had been silent all the time, finally spoke.

"Yan Yang was wrong today. You shouldn't protect him without knowing right from wrong. You will only teach the children bad things. What if he hurts others in the future?"

"As for Jiang Shu, she has done nothing wrong to the Marquis' Mansion." Shen Changze said, and took Cheng Jinchu and the two children away.

He was disgusted by the woman's unreasonable behavior.

Old Lady Shen looked at the back of her grandson and was stunned for a long time.

The Marquis of Jing'an, who had gained fame and honor, was no longer a grandson who allowed her to scold him. He became the support and master of the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion.

This Marquis' Mansion was no longer hers to decide.

After returning to the Suoyun Courtyard, Shen Changze scolded Yan Yang and took him to apologize to Jiang Shu.

Although he loved his children, he also knew right from wrong.

The father and son ran into Fang Yinu outside the Tingzhu Building, and Shen Changze asked about Jiang Shu's injury.

"My Lord, Madam's hand is not seriously injured, but the burning pain is unbearable. I'm afraid she won't be able to sleep well these days." Fang Yinu reported truthfully.

"Thank you." Shen Changze led Yan Yang into the Tingzhu Courtyard.

Jiang Shu had just finished applying medicine and was lying on the couch to rest.

"My Lord." Chu Yu greeted with red eyes.

Shen Changze entered the room and saw Jiang Shu closing her eyes to rest. Her hand on the pillow was red and swollen. She was in pain and her face was pale and her eyebrows were wrinkled.

"Mother, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Yan Yang knelt down in front of the couch and apologized to Jiang Shu in a crying voice.

Before coming, Shen Changze sternly warned Yan Yang that Jiang Shu was also his wife, and they had to call her mother.

Yan Yang had never seen his father so stern before, and dared not disobey.

Jiang Shu, who was tortured by the pain, lifted his eyelids and glanced at the two of them, and said weakly: "I don't want to argue with a child, but everything must be distinguished between right and wrong. Marquis, do you understand?"

"I understand, it was my grandmother's fault today, I apologize to you on her behalf." Shen Changze bowed and apologized. For

a marquis general to do this is already a great honor.

Jiang Shu is not a person who does not know how to show respect.

"Since the marquis understands, then let's let it go. Let the child get up." Jiang Shu closed his eyes and did not want to talk to them anymore.

As soon as Yan Yang stood up, Tan Yu came into the room with ice cubes.

"Madam, the ice is here."

Seeing Shen Changze and his son, Tan Yu bowed reluctantly.

Chu Yu wrapped the ice in a handkerchief and gently placed it on the back of Jiang Shu's burned hand to relieve her swelling and pain.

Shen Changze looked at her for a while and asked, "Do you feel more comfortable?" Hearing

the voice, Jiang Shu opened her eyes in surprise. Why didn't he leave yet

? "Well, it's getting late, Lord Hou, please go back." Jiang Shu ordered him to leave directly.

She was in a bad mood, and she couldn't sleep because of the pain. She really didn't want to deal with him anymore.

Shen Changze didn't leave, but asked Chu Yu, "How long do you need the ice compress?"

"Of course the longer the better. Lord Hou, rest assured, we will take good care of Madam." Although Chu Yu was dissatisfied, she still maintained the proper respect.

"Give it to me." Shen Changze sat down beside the couch and personally applied ice to Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu was startled: "Lord Hou, go back and rest. I have Chu Yu and Tan Yu here to serve you."

"If the son is not well-educated, it is the fault of the father. Just consider it as me making up for Yan Yang's sin." Shen Changze made a high-sounding excuse.

But only he himself knew that the reason he did so was because he felt sorry for her and wanted to take this opportunity to make up for his debt to her over the years.

"Daddy..." Yan Yang rubbed his eyes and called out. He was sleepy and wanted to go back to sleep.

Seeing this, Shen Changze said to Chu Yu, "Send the young master back to the Suyun Courtyard."

"Yes." Chu Yu took the order and pulled Yan Yang away.

Tan Yu didn't want to leave, but was dragged away by Chu Yu.

Madam has been guarding the house empty-handed for six years, and she can't waste time any longer.

Only Jiang Shu and Shen Changze were left in the room. She couldn't help but think of the night she married into the Marquis's Mansion six years ago.

At that time, she had just reached the age of marriage and was still young. She was nervous and shy in front of the tall and handsome Shen Changze, and her two hands were twisted red with nervousness.

Seeing her helplessness, Shen Changze didn't touch her, and left the bridal chamber on the grounds that there were many things to prepare for the expedition.

The next morning, Shen Changze set off with the army to the border.

So they had not yet been husband and wife.
