Chapter 6 Heartbeat

Seeing that she had successfully aroused Shen Changze's interest, Cheng Jinchu said proudly: "Do you remember that I told you that my ancestors were wine merchants and have a secret recipe passed down from generation to generation?"

Shen Changze was shocked when he heard this, and then his face showed joy.

All men like wine, this is indeed a good business, and it is profitable and profitable.

"Tomorrow we will go to find a suitable shop, and take the children to see what Shangjing is like." Cheng Jinchu couldn't wait. After

worrying for many days, this big problem finally has a solution, which makes her very happy.

Didn't Jiang Shu want to embarrass her? She must let Jiang Shu see how she managed the Marquis's Mansion.

"Okay, you have worked hard these days." Shen Changze pulled her into his arms apologetically and lowered his head to kiss her lips.

Cheng Jinchu responded shyly, and put his arms around his neck and entangled with him.

The two were getting intimate when the voice of the maid rang out from outside the house.

"My Lord, the Madam wants to see you."

"It's so late, what does your mother want you for?" The two separated, and Cheng Jinchu asked with a slight breath.

Shen Changze tidied his clothes and stood up: "I don't know, I'll be back soon, you rest first." After

blowing the night wind all the way, when they arrived at Tinglan Courtyard where Shen's mother lived, Shen Changze had recovered as usual.

"What's the important matter that mother asked me to come for?"

Shen's mother said while eating bird's nest: "You have been back to Beijing for many days. It's time to accompany Shu'er back to her parents' home. I think tomorrow will be fine."

"In a few days, I will..."

"You didn't accompany her back to her parents' home six years ago. The matter of establishing a wife has made her resentful. It is not reasonable to delay it any longer. Is there anything more important than her now?"

"Yes, Marquis, the lady is your first wife who was married in a formal ceremony. You should respect and love her. Your neglect in the past few days has caused rumors in the mansion." Shen Changze's wet nurse Su Ma Ma also gave earnest advice.

Shen Changze was raised by her and loved like her own son. She also saw Jiang Shu's efforts for the Marquis's mansion in the past six years. He really didn't deserve to be neglected.

Shen Changze was silent for a moment: "I know, I will accompany her back to Jiang's house tomorrow."

"Go and tell Shu'er so that she can prepare." Shen's mother waved her hands with relief, and Su Ma also smiled with relief.

"Thank you, mother and Ma for worrying about me." Shen Changze stood up and walked to Tingzhulou with heavy steps.

Jiang Shu had just finished bathing and sat on the beauty couch to let Chu Yu wipe her hair.

As soon as Shen Changze stepped into the room, the faint fragrance of water vapor came to his nose.

"Marquis." Chu Yu hurriedly saluted.

Jiang Shu was wearing an apricot-colored nightgown, with a large area of ​​snow-white skin exposed in front of her neck, her slender waist looming, and a pair of clear water eyes looking at her.

Shen Changze suddenly felt his waist and abdomen tightened, his back felt hot, and he swallowed unbearably.

"Is there something going on, Lord Hou?" Jiang Shu motioned Chu Yu to continue wiping her hair.

Shen Changze glanced at Chu Yu, suppressed the heat in his chest, and spoke in a low voice: "I will accompany you back to the Jiang family tomorrow."

Jiang Shu was stunned, and then couldn't hide his joy and said: "Really?"

"Yes." Shen Changze nodded: "Do you need me to prepare something?"

Jiang Shu smiled and said: "No, I have already prepared it, Lord Hou just needs to accompany me."

She had not returned home for another six years, and this return to the Jiang family was of great significance. Jiang Shu had already prepared the gifts. But Shen Changze always left early and returned late, so she had no chance to mention this to him.

It was rare that he took the initiative to bring it up today.

"Then I'll pick you up tomorrow morning." Seeing her so happy, Shen Changze also felt a little happy and curled his lips.

"Okay." Jiang Shu happily agreed. Finally, seeing that Shen Changze didn't leave,

she frowned and asked, "Does the Marquis have anything else to do?" He was her husband, but she didn't keep him at all, but drove him away.

Shen Changze pursed his lips, and a feeling of irritation and unhappiness arose in his heart.

Looking at Jiang Shu's beautiful face and graceful figure, Shen Changze was very excited and wanted to stay overnight, but thinking that he had not greeted Cheng Jinchu, he had to give up.

"You should rest early." Shen Changze turned and left.

"Madam!" Chu Yu looked angry and anxious.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Shu was puzzled.

"The Marquis finally came once, how can Madam chase him away? If this goes on, when will Madam and the Marquis be able to consummate their marriage?"

Jiang Shu's heart skipped a beat.

She was used to being alone, and because of Cheng Jinchu's grudge, she had never thought of this.

Now listening to Chu Yu's words, she lowered her eyes and thought seriously.

She married into the Marquis's mansion, and of course she wanted to serve her husband and manage the family and live a good life. But when she thought of Shen Changze already having children with someone else, and raising children with someone else every day, and sleeping on the same bed every night, she felt very uncomfortable.

If she stayed overnight with Shen Changze, would she be considered a servant in bed? She

laughed bitterly at herself. If she had known that marrying into the Marquis's mansion would be like this, she would definitely not have married up.

"Madam, next time the Marquis comes, you must not do this again."

"Madam Jin's eldest son is already five years old. If Madam doesn't hurry up, this Marquis' Mansion in the future..."

In the future, this Marquis' Mansion will belong to Cheng Jinchu and his son.

As the eldest son, it is natural for him to inherit the throne. Even if she is born now, it will be too late.

When Shen Changze returned to the Suoyun Courtyard, Cheng Jinchu was still awake.

"My husband is back." Cheng Jinchu smiled and welcomed him into the house, pretending to ask casually: "What is the matter that mother wants to see you about?"

Shen Changze walked to the bed and sat down, and Cheng Jinchu helped him to get dressed and go to bed.

"Mother asked me to accompany Jiang Shu back to Jiang's house tomorrow."

Cheng Jinchu's hand froze as she was untying her belt: "Does it have to be tomorrow?"

Shen Changze nodded: "Sorry, I'll accompany you to visit Shangjing the day after tomorrow."

"Okay." Cheng Jinchu suppressed her sourness and said with a smile: "Then I will tidy up the mansion tomorrow and cut down on expenses."

"I'm sorry for putting you in trouble." Shen Changze held her hand and hugged her to the bed.

After a while of cuddling, Cheng Jinchu's dissatisfaction dissipated, and she fell asleep contentedly with her head on Shen Changze's arm.

The next morning, Tingzhulou was busy.

"Quick, bring the set of red jadeite beaded gold brocade, it will be perfect with Madam's phoenix-shaped bun."

"Madam, the Marquis is already waiting downstairs."

"Please wait for a moment, Madam will be here soon."

A quarter of an hour later, Chu Yu was finally satisfied with her work and helped Jiang Shu, who was dressed in a gorgeous outfit, downstairs.

Shen Changze stood in the yard with his hands behind his back, watching the servants moving the gifts to the carriage, his eyes deep and wondering what he was thinking.

"Madam, go slowly." Tan Yu said crisply, holding the hem of her skirt.

Hearing the voice, Shen Changze raised his eyes and saw Jiang Shu, who was wearing a jadeite brocade skirt, walking down the stairs slowly. The beaded brocade in her hair sparkled in the morning light, making her look as graceful and beautiful as a fairy.

Jiang Shu met Shen Changze's gaze and was stunned for a moment.

Today, Shen Changze also wore a green robe embroidered with silver bamboo, a golden crown on his head and a white jade belt around his waist. He stood in the yard with a graceful figure, causing the maids to look at him sideways.

The two of them wore the same color clothes, what a coincidence.

"Madam, be careful with your steps." Chu Yu reminded in a low voice.

Shen Changze walked a few steps to the stairs and stretched out his hand to Jiang Shu.

After a moment of hesitation, Jiang Shu put the hand that was supported by Chu Yu into Shen Changze's broad hand.
