"You thought you were keeping your visit to Concubine Shu's bedroom secret, but what's the truth? The entire imperial capital is almost aware of it!"
"Our Bai family has just arrived in the imperial capital, and you're already visiting everywhere. Are you eager to let others know that we're forming cliques?"
"The emperor is already suspicious of us, you are pushing us into the fire pit!"
"I finally understand why my father-in-law told me that I was not worthy of being appointed to this position and asked me to keep an eye on you and make sure you didn't cause any trouble. My father-in-law was quite foresighted!"
"From today on, don't go out. Stay in this room. Once the Queen Mother's birthday is over, we will leave immediately!"
Bai Zong pushed her onto the bed with his big hand.
He walked out the door and yelled, "Someone!"
Four servants immediately came out respectfully.
They were listening to the quarrel outside, no one dared to interrupt, and now no one dared to look up.
Bai Zong ordered, "Madam, the young master, and the young mistress have traveled a long way and are ill. From today on, they must rest at home. No one is allowed to let them out without my order, let alone pass on any information. If I find out, I will skin them alive!"
The servants bent their waists even lower, and the sound spread clearly and sonorously.
Madam Bai pounded on the door frantically and yelled, "Bai Zong, you're a live-in son-in-law. Without me, you wouldn't be where you are today? How dare you treat me like this? Believe it or not, I'll kick you out of the Bai family! And you damned slaves, how dare you imprison me? I'm going to kill you all!"
The servants were not angry, they just thought Mrs. Bai was a little funny.
Before the old city lord died, he supported Bai Zong, and his confidants took up a position.
Bai Zong has been in charge of Rongcheng for twelve years now and has long become the undisputed master of Rongcheng.
With his power, he could easily divorce Mrs. Bai and be with his lover openly.
However, Bai Zong is a man who values friendship and loyalty. Considering the years of love between husband and wife and the old city lord, he kept the matter a secret and did not let his family know about Tan Lang's existence.
It would be fine at any other time, but now Bai Zong was already angry, how could they dare to disobey!
Bai Zong took a look at the room and felt upset, so he asked the servants to arrange the most remote room for him.
Out of sight, out of mind. Let her scream as she pleases, but can't he just stay away?
…
Jiang Shuyue had a full meal at Jiang's house and was about to leave for home when Jiang An hurried back.
When he saw Zhou Yunshen and the children, his expression was slightly stunned, but he quickly adjusted himself.
"I'm so sorry for not welcoming you, Marquis Zhennan."
Zhou Yunshen knew it was bullshit as soon as he heard it.
Things got so serious in the afternoon that everyone received the letter. No matter where Jiang An was, he would definitely have received the letter.
He just came over at this time and said some polite words, which was just bullshit.
Zhou Yunshen didn't indulge him either.
"I heard that Lord Jiang is an extraordinary chess player, and I wanted to have a fight with him, but unfortunately I'm already full of melons, and you haven't returned yet. What a pity."
Jiang Shuyue: [Huh? What did he eat?]
Huahua: [Watermelon, honeydew melon, and cucumber, your mother cut them by hand and even picked out the seeds. Did you forget?]
Jiang Shuyue: [Yes, I ate a lot too. The watermelons aren't very sweet yet, they need to grow longer.]
This melon is not that melon.
He was talking about gossip.
For most of the afternoon, he heard that someone had fallen in love with the big yellow dog next door, and had a pure love affair that transcended species.
A fat boy from someone's family hid the panties of the lady next door, but his mother mistakenly thought that her husband had stolen them, so she chased him and beat him for three blocks.
Melons like these not only fill your brain, but also fill your stomach.
He had never known before that the people of the Great Zhou were so tough.
Jiang An said with a smile, "My Lord, you are too kind. Playing chess is just a way to kill time. Please don't make fun of me."
After saying that, he took out an exquisite little box and handed it to Jiang Shuyue.
"When Daddy came back, he saw that this necklace suited you very well, so he bought it for you. I hope you don't mind it."
Jiang Shuyue was stunned by the shock.
[Huahua, did I hear that correctly? My scumbag dad actually gave me a gift. Could it be a bomb? He's trying to fake my death!]
Huahua: [You're overthinking it. Even if he wants to blow you up, he needs a bomb!]
Jiang Shuyue finally felt relieved and opened the box. Inside was a small necklace with a red gem that was quite dazzling.
It's just that she had seen so many good things that she didn't feel much about this little ruby.
Jiang Shuyue: [If someone is being too attentive without any reason, he's either a traitor or a thief. I think there's a big trap waiting for me. Huahua, can you check for me? Is there anything in here that could cause infertility?]
Huahua: [I didn't realize it was just an ordinary ruby.]
When Jiang Shuyue was confused, she heard Jiang An sigh with great sincerity.
"I originally wanted to buy you something more expensive, but unfortunately, my money is limited, so I can only buy you something smaller. Don't worry, Yue'er, when I make money in the future, I will still buy you a bigger one."
Huahua: [Bullshit! The gem he gave Mei Niang was twice as big as this one, and he gave it to her yesterday! And your green tea value has increased, now 190%. This old man is trying to trick you!]
She is a coward and has a bad taste, but she is not stupid.
Jiang An mentioned money just now, obviously wanting her to take advantage of the situation. The best outcome would be for his mother to return the management of the store to him.
Is he dreaming and stupid?
Jiang Shuyue pretended to be deeply touched and smiled, "It doesn't matter how valuable the item is. I'm already very happy that my father has such a thoughtful thought!"
"After much thought, I feel I owe you a lot, and I still want to make it up to you."
Jiang Shuyue: "Dad, what are you talking about? I don't think you owe me anything. Dad, don't let your imagination run wild. It's getting late. I'll take my leave now."
She secretly pinched Zhou Yunshen and told him to speak faster.
Zhou Yunshen accidentally used too much force and felt very upset. There was a hint of displeasure in his eyes when he looked at Jiang An.
He silently noted this account in his mind.
"Master Jiang, we'll take our leave now and will bother you again tomorrow."
"Okay, okay, Yue'er, follow the Marquis well and serve him well. Don't make him unhappy."
"Master Jiang, you are joking. Shu Yue has never displeased me, and the Marquis's Mansion has no shortage of servants. Farewell."
Zhou Yunshen put his arm around Jiang Shuyue's waist and left the Jiang family with the children.
Jiang Shuyue felt that there was a particularly piercing gaze behind her.
Jiang Shuyue: [The plot seems to have deviated from the original novel. I can't predict what Jiang An will do. I'm so anxious. I always feel like he has bad intentions...]
Huahua: [I don't know. I'm just a melon-eating system. I can dig up other people's big melons, but I can't predict them. But I do know that when your father came back yesterday, some children were playing with firecrackers, which startled his horse. He was caught off guard and dove headfirst into rotten vegetable leaves, where a rotten garlic lodged in his throat. It took him a while to recover.]
Jiang Shuyue: [No wonder, when he was talking to me just now, his mouth smelled of bad garlic!]
