Chapter 95: The Road is Narrow Yu Yuan could n't do anything to
Yu Zheng. He was so angry that he couldn't speak. He raised his head and drank the wine. As soon as he finished drinking, Jiang Shu took the opportunity to say , "After drinking, Master Yu, don't be angry with me again ." "Humph! You want to get rid of me with a glass of wine ? This master is not that cheap." Yu Yuan picked up the chopsticks and ate the food angrily. "Then what do you want?" Yu Zheng put down the wine glass and asked him. Yu Yuan was dissatisfied: "Brother Zheng, why do you want to speak for her? We are brothers." "Brother." Yu Zheng reminded. "That is also a blood brother." Yu Yuan replied stubbornly. Finally, he looked at Jiang Shu and said, "It's better than being closer to her." That's not necessarily true. Yu Zheng's dark eyes flashed and he didn't say anything. Seeing that Yu Yuan seemed less angry, Jiang Shu said, "It was wrong of me to abandon Cuiyun Tower, but I really can't do anything else, so I can only ask Prince Yu to take care of it." "That's not what you said when you asked me to cooperate with you." Yu Yuan angrily accused. Jiang Shu knew he was wrong, so he gave in and said, "How about I give Prince Yu an extra 10% of Cuiyun Tower's profit? This is much higher than his salary." According to Cuiyun's revenue in the past few months, 10% of the profit is at least 200 taels a month, which is much more than his monthly salary. Money makes the devil work, and no one can go against money. Yu Yuan said sternly, "Then the calculation should start from this month. I won't bother you about last month." "Yes, yes, Lord Yu is very magnanimous. I am ashamed of myself." Jiang Shu filled his glass with wine and said a few compliments. The matter was finally over. After a busy morning, Jiang Shu was hungry and concentrated on eating. Yu Zheng was born in the royal family. He had the habit of not talking while eating or sleeping. He didn't talk even when he was having a serious meal. Although Yu Yuan didn't follow the rules and usually talked loudly when he had meals and drinks with his friends, he was much more restrained in front of Yu Zheng. The three of them ate in a proper manner. The room fell into silence, leaving only the sound of cups and plates clinking and the sound of chewing. There was a fish on the table, placed between Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu. Yu Yuan stretched out his hand to pick it up several times, but Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu did not move their chopsticks. "If you don't want to eat it, switch with me." Yu Yuan held up a plate of seasonal vegetables and motioned Jiang Shu to give him the fish. Jiang Shu looked at Yu Zheng: "Doesn't the prince eat fish?" Yu Zheng nodded: "No, give it to him." Jiang Shu handed the fish to Yu Yuan, took the seasonal vegetables and put them down. Yu Zheng picked up the seasonal vegetables with chopsticks, and Jiang Shu also stretched out his chopsticks to pick them up. The two were stunned for a moment, and then smiled at each other. When the vegetables were put into their mouths, Jiang Shu remembered that she had seen Yu Zheng eat fish before. Then why didn't he eat it today? Jiang Shu observed carefully and saw that Yu Zheng ate everything, and she understood. Maybe there were too many dishes today, and he didn't like fish very much, so he didn't eat it. Thinking of this, Jiang Shu didn't take it to heart. After seeing off Yu Zheng, Jiang Shu also hurried to inspect the restaurant. Before leaving, she specifically told Yu Yuan and the shopkeeper that Yu Zheng's meals should be put on her bill in the future. The shopkeeper was surprised and puzzled, but he knew that he didn't ask too many questions. As for Yu Yuan, although he didn't know the origin of Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu, he knew that Yu Zheng helped Jiang Shu save Jiang's father this time, so he was not surprised. "Alas, this restaurant will be mine from now on." Yu Yuan stretched his waist and sighed. "Thank you for your hard work, Prince Yu." Jiang Shu bowed to him and walked away. Looking at her hurriedly leaving back, Yu Yuan sighed and muttered: "Is Marquis Jing'an blind to have such a capable girl?" He is really blind to treat pearls as fish eyes. Wait, he will regret it. Jiang Shu was patrolling the shops all over Shangjing, and it was inevitable that she would run into acquaintances. When she was patrolling the shops in the afternoon and arrived at South Street, Jiang Shu ran into Shen Changze. What a narrow road for enemies! Jiang Shu frowned subconsciously. "I heard that you took over Jiang's." Shen Changze spoke first. "It has nothing to do with you." Jiang Shu took a step forward to bypass him. When passing by Shen Changze, Shen Changze raised his hand and grabbed her arm. "Marquis Jing'an, respect yourself." Jiang Shu struggled to get away, and took a few steps back as if to prevent thieves. Shen Changze looked a little embarrassed, and said in a deep voice: "It's inappropriate for you, a woman, to show up in public wearing men's clothes. Now you have become the boss of Jiang's business, and you travel around Shangjing every day, dealing with all kinds of men. It's really inappropriate." Hearing this, Jiang Shu was so angry that he laughed, and couldn't help but blurted out a swear word: "It's none of your business." "How can you speak so rudely?" Shen Changze seemed to be struck by thunder, with shock and disbelief on his face. She must have dealt with those rude businessmen and learned bad things from them. Looking at Shen Changze's hypocritical face, Jiang Shu sneered: "If you are really free and have nothing to do, find a way to make more money and pay it back to me as soon as possible." "You..." Shen Changze was speechless and very disappointed with Jiang Shu. How could she become so mean and frivolous in just a few months, without any dignity or generosity? "Don't be so mean to me if you don't pay me back." Jiang Shu hated Shen Changze so much that she didn't want to say a word to him and walked away quickly as if avoiding the plague. People were coming and going on the street, and Jiang Shu soon disappeared into the crowd. Shen Changze withdrew his gaze in despair and walked towards Wen Xiangzui. The whole family in the Marquis' Mansion was waiting for him to support them, and the money owed to Jiang Shu had not been repaid yet. All of them depended on Wen Xiangzui, so he had to manage it carefully. In the evening, Shen Changze returned home after work, and Cheng Jinchu came to greet him as usual. Seeing that Shen Changze was holding a paper bag in his hand, Cheng Jinchu asked, "What did my husband buy?" After Jiang Shu left, Cheng Jinchu was the only one left in the Marquis' Mansion. After giving birth and finishing her confinement, she took over the reins of the household from Shen's mother. Shen Changze was in charge of the outside affairs, while she was in charge of the inside affairs. She was very satisfied with this kind of life.
Facing Cheng Jinchu's smiling face, Shen Changze was not very happy. He frowned and said, "Your daughter has no appetite these days, so I bought her some preserved sour fruits."
"Give it to Qiu Shuang, and let her give it to Aunt Xu." Cheng Jinchu winked at Qiu Shuang.
Qiu Shuang went forward to take it, but Shen Changze avoided it and said, "I'll go by myself. It's a good opportunity to see her."
"Also... that's fine." Cheng Jinchu's face froze, and he tried to maintain a smile, "Then go and come back soon, I'll wait for you to have dinner together."
"No need to wait for me, just have it by yourself." Shen Changze said, and left without looking back.
Looking at Shen Changze's tall and straight figure, Cheng Jinchu murmured to herself: "Why do men have three wives and four concubines?"
"They say sour sons and spicy daughters, Aunt Xu looks like she's going to give birth to a young master."
Qiu Shuang pinched her hands and lowered her head, not daring to answer.
Cheng Jinchu's temperament has changed drastically since she gave birth. Others may not be able to see it, but Qiu Shuang, as a close maid, knows it clearly.
It's okay for ordinary things, but when it comes to the child in Xu Lingyi's belly, Cheng Jinchu becomes sinister and weird.
She can't give birth herself, so naturally she doesn't want others to give birth.
But Xu Lingyi is very cautious. She never leaves Songlanyuan unless there is something important. She doesn't eat or touch anything Cheng Jinchu sends her. Shen Changze often visits her, so Cheng Jinchu has no idea where to start.
"Mrs. Xu is pregnant and will give birth in one or two months. Have you found a midwife?" Cheng Jinchu asked Qiu Shuang.
Qiu Shuang quickly replied, "I have found one. She will come to the mansion to serve you in a few days."
Cheng Jinchu smiled with satisfaction.
She could allow Xu Lingyi to give birth to the baby, but she would never allow Xu Lingyi to get pregnant again.
