Chapter 23 Chapter 23 New Dream Choice
"lady."
After the other party called out to him, Jiang Wu had no choice but to walk over, "Your Highness the Crown Prince," even though he was reluctant.
He Shiyan didn't seem to notice the wariness and displeasure in her eyes, but greeted her in a familiar manner, "Where are you going, Madam?"
Jiang Wu pursed her lips, deciding not to lie and confessed honestly, "I'm going to look for my husband."
He Shiyan's smile deepened. "I just happened to need help from Master. How about we go together?"
Jiang Wu subconsciously wanted to refuse, but she swallowed the words back. Perhaps it was because she had been living in such good times for too long recently that she almost forgot the true nature of the man in her dream.
He was also afraid that if she refused, he would set a trap for her to fall into.
"The relationship between Madam and Master is as good as ever." He Shiyan's smiling voice came slowly, like a disciple who couldn't care less about the relationship between Master and Madam.
"Of course, if my husband and I have no feelings for each other, why would he marry me?" Jiang Wu raised her chin proudly like a victorious little rooster.
Even if she knew that the person in Xie Ji's heart was Shen Tingxue, she just had to act in front of him like a little wife who admired her husband deeply.
"Madam, you are so confident. I envy you. But..." He Shiyan changed the subject, with a hint of unbearable mockery, "Madam, you love your husband so deeply. Are you sure that your husband loves you as well?"
He actually still hasn't given up on sowing discord.
With this much free time, he would be successful in whatever he did.
The afternoon sun, though not too strong, was drowsy. The bamboo forest tumbled, stirring the sound of waves.
"Master, this is the tea I picked myself and brewed. Please try it and see if it tastes good." Shen Tingxue, who had heard that her master would come here to play chess with the host, specially changed into a low-necked skirt today. As she moved, the scenery of her chest was clearly visible.
Worried that he couldn't see clearly, she deliberately pulled her hezi down to reveal the beautiful spring scenery.
She believed that her figure and appearance were not inferior to Jiang Wu, and she was confident that after her master had tasted her goodness, he would never be able to leave her.
Not to mention her beauty, just what she learned in modern times can make any man be fascinated and even steel can be wrapped around his fingers.
The moment she bent down to pour tea, Xie Ji's face turned pale and he suddenly stood up with his back to her, "Changle, do you know what you are doing now?"
Not to mention her clothes, just her behavior alone showed any sense of shame. Where did she forget the shamelessness he had taught her?
"Of course I know what I'm doing. On the contrary, it's been so long, Master, don't you understand my feelings for you?" Shen Tingxue, who was not afraid of his fierce aura, stood on tiptoe to kiss him obsessively.
"Master, if you can accept a country girl who is inferior to me in every way, why can't you accept me? I don't believe that you really have no feelings for me."
"If Master is afraid that Sister Jiang will be angry, we can hide it from her. I will never let Sister Jiang find out about what's going on between us."
"Master, please don't push me away."
"Xue'er really loves you. As long as I can be with you, I am willing to be your concubine."
The moment she stood on tiptoe to ask for a kiss from him, Xie Ji, with a gloomy face, took off his coat and put it on her shameless clothes. With a strong murderous intent in his rolling eyes, he grabbed her neck and said, "You are not Changle, who are you?"
"You approached the real one with a face that looked like hers. What was your intention? And where did you hide Changle?"
Shen Tingxue, whose vision was suddenly blocked by the clothes, thought that her master was shy, but before she could be happy, her neck was pinched by a cold big hand. Her eyelashes trembled and crystal tears rolled down her cheeks, "Master, are you kidding me? What am I not her?"
"Master, I know you have always been reluctant to admit your feelings for me, but you can't slander me as not being your beloved Xue'er."
"If there is something that Xue'er did wrong, and Xue'er can't correct it, Master, please put Xue'er down quickly." Shen Tingxue, whose neck was strangled and breathing became increasingly difficult, did not think that he would discover anything. You know, such a magical thing as time travel is simply unimaginable to the pedantic ancients.
Maybe he wanted to avoid facing his love, so he said that he was not his disciple, so as to make himself feel better.
"Changle is a girl who was raised by me. I know her personality very well." Not to mention that she has always respected teachers and observed etiquette since she was a child. Normally, when she went to him privately to ask about schoolwork, she would keep a distance of one meter from him, instead of behaving frivolously and self-deprecatingly like her.
"Who are you?" Xie Ji, who was strangling her neck through her coat, was about to ask Gao Lang to take her away for strict interrogation to find out who sent her as a spy, when a cold mechanical voice that was familiar to him yet strange suddenly rang in his ears.
[Warning! The male protagonist's character has serious deviations and is now subject to mandatory revisions!]
[Warning! The male protagonist's character has serious deviations and is now subject to mandatory revisions!]
When the voice sounded for the first time, the memories that had been forcibly erased came flooding back. Then Xie Ji knew that the moment the warning sound disappeared, he would lose his previous memories again and return to this lonely ghost who came from nowhere and used Changle's body, which she had occupied, to do shameless things to him.
If he fails to disregard human ethics as he wished, his body will be forcibly controlled, and he will then lose this part of the forced memory.
All this was like cutting meat with a blunt knife, like eroding his moral bottom line bit by bit, destroying his rationality, and turning him into a beast who had no regard for human ethics and no sense of propriety, righteousness, and shame.
Even if he didn't know what he was going to do, he could still see the bigger picture from the small details. He was afraid that behind the angry voice, he wanted to see him having sex with his own disciple, violating his own nature and morality by shamelessly and shamelessly hanging out with his disciple after already having a wife.
It was truly a vicious plot. Once the truth was revealed, it would not only destroy the Xie family's century-old foundation, but also force Changle, whose body was possessed by a wandering ghost, to commit suicide by jumping into the river. I'm afraid what they really wanted to do was to shake the foundation of Dayan.
After all, how could a beast who disregarded human ethics and had lost all conscience be worthy of being the ruler of Dayan and the leader of the scholars?
It's ridiculous that he is a living person, not a puppet at the mercy of anyone. Even if the person controlling his body is a god whom he will never be able to contact in his entire life, so what?
He would rather kill God than compromise, and would never become a puppet controlled by others against his will.
What he has to do is to catch this so-called ghost.
"Master, this is the tea I picked myself and brewed. Please try it and see if it tastes good." When the plot restarted again, it was Shen Tingxue who pulled down her collar with a sweet smile. Although she asked him to drink the tea, her eyes were fixed on him with charm.
"Master, please taste it quickly to see if it's sweet."
"No need." Xie Ji stood up with a sullen face and left. "Although I won't restrict your clothing, the clothes you wear are too immoral."
"Master, do you not like Xue'er anymore? Otherwise, why don't you drink the tea Xue'er makes?" When he was about to leave, Shen Tingxue was so anxious that she hugged him from behind.
"Master, did Xue'er do something wrong to make you angry? If you tell me, Xue'er will definitely change, okay?"
Shen Tingxue hugged Xie Ji from behind, and the scene where Xie Ji did not push him away happened to fall into the eyes of Jiang Wu and He Shiyan who had just arrived.
He Shiyan, who had lured her here, suppressed the evil smile on his lips. His gentle voice, like a ghost, lingered in her ears, carrying a touch of pity like the moon shining on her. "Madam, after seeing that scene, don't you have anything to say?"
A wife who has always loved her husband deeply must be heartbroken when she sees him having an affair.
After all, this poor and pitiful woman loves her husband so deeply.
"I think that the relationship between my husband and the princess is definitely not what we think. Maybe the princess accidentally fell and my husband just went to help her up." Jiang Wu, with red eyes, was so sad that she almost crumpled the handkerchief in her hand into a sauerkraut stick, but she still kept talking stubbornly.
"My husband told me that he and the princess are just a simple master-disciple relationship. As his wife, I should believe what he said. Otherwise, wouldn't there be no basic trust between husband and wife?" Jiang Wu knew very well that at the end of the dream, he would definitely be with Shen Tingxue, but they dared to be so open and aboveboard in the holy land of Buddhism.
Does that mean that he has clearly discovered that the person he loves is Shen Tingxue, and he has begun to dislike her as the person who has taken his position as wife?
No, she can't even read the account books now, and she didn't secretly move out of his warehouse. How could she be kicked out so quickly?
Jiang Wu raised her handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes. Her red eyes met his gaze without avoiding or avoiding it. "I have something to say, even though I know I shouldn't, I still want to say it."
He Shiyan became interested, "Madam, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"Your Highness, are you usually free? Otherwise, why do you always try to sow discord between me and my husband?"
He Shiyan, who was fanning himself lightly with the broken jade fan in his hand, was stunned. With a look of helpless sorrow, he said, "I said, I just can't bear to see Madam being kept in the dark. I don't want Madam to be so foolish as to ruin her life."
He Shiyan raised his hand and tucked the hair that fell on her cheek behind her ear. Her stunned face was reflected in his clear and unparalleled eyes. "A woman like Madam deserves better choices, not just a pearl covered in dust."
Even though he said it was for her own good, Jiang Wu still kept her distance from him cautiously, tears streaming down her face like pearls from a broken string.
"If my lady is sad, I can lend you my shoulder to lean on." Jiang Wu wiped away her tears and raised her red eyes. Her frail figure trembled like willow catkins in the wind, but she still bit her lip stubbornly. "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but I think there must be some misunderstanding here. I don't believe my husband would do such a thing."
The more she believed in her beloved husband, the more heartbroken she would be when she discovered the truth.
If she was too trusting, there would be no point for He Shiyan to continue playing this game.
"Although I believe in Madam's feelings for Master, I just can't bear to see Madam's true love go to waste and end up getting hurt all over." He Shiyan pulled her hand over, took off the jade ring on his thumb and put it on her index finger. When his little finger left her hand, he inadvertently scratched her palm.
"Madam, if you ever come to your senses, you can use this ring to come and find me."
His hands were bigger than hers, and when the jade ring was on her finger, it felt empty, as if it could fall off with a flick.
Jiang Wu didn't expect that dipping the handkerchief in chili water would have such a good effect. When he returned to the dormitory, he saw Xie Ji who was about to push the door open.
Thinking that he must have come back from his affair with Shen Tingxue, she lowered her head and walked into the house without wanting to talk to him.
"There's a horse farm at the foot of the mountain. I want to learn how to ride a horse."
The man's sudden words made Jiang Wu's feet freeze in place. He asked, "Is it difficult?"
"It's not difficult."
Hearing that it wasn't difficult, Jiang Wu forgot about arguing with him and raised his hand angrily, "Then I want to learn!"
After saying that, Jiang Wu scratched his cheek and whispered, "But I didn't bring any riding clothes."
She knew that they would wear special riding clothes when riding horses.
Xie Ji took out a handkerchief and handed it to his wife, wiping her sunburned cheeks. "Just change into something comfortable to wear."
"Can………"
"No one says you have to wear riding clothes when riding. You can wear a skirt or any clothes that you feel comfortable in. Don't let clothes restrict what you want to do. You are the body and clothes are the carrier."
Jiang Wu took the handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his neck, nodding as if he understood. So this was why he asked Shen Tingxue to ride with him without wearing pants, and go in and out as the horse galloped.
Because the heat is intense at noon, more people come to the horse farm to ride horses when it is not so hot in the evening.
"My dear, can I choose that horse? It looks so majestic." Jiang Wu, who had just walked into the stable, immediately fell in love with the black horse at the back that was completely dark without any other colors. Because its size was twice as big as the other horses, she would definitely look very majestic riding on it.
"This is a black horse sent from Dayuan. It has a fierce and aggressive temperament. I'm afraid you will have trouble controlling it." Xie Ji asked the groom to select a few horses. "Since you are a beginner, it's best to choose a docile mare or foal."
"These are all docile horses. Do you like them, Madam?" When the groom learned that the Prime Minister wanted to teach his wife how to ride a horse, he naturally selected the best and docile horses in the stable for the Prime Minister's wife to choose from.
Jiang Wu liked the black horse at first, but she was always fickle and easily disliked the old one. After seeing other horses, she immediately forgot about the black horse.
Finally, she chose a bay mare. When she took the grass to feed it, the horse lowered its head and ate the grass in her hand. It also licked her with its tongue, which tickled Jiang Wu so much that she giggled. Her fox eyes curved into crescents. "Husband, can I keep it?"
"So what are you going to name it?"
This meant he agreed. Jiang Wu lowered his head and thought for a moment before finally saying, "Pearl, this sounds good."
Jiang Wu, who had chosen a name, touched Pearl's horse mane as if he had found a treasure. "My dear Pearl, this is my first time learning to ride a horse. You must be obedient and don't throw me out, okay?"
After she chose the horse, Xie Ji chose the black horse that she had liked at the beginning.
When he brought the horse over, Jiang Wu, who was chatting affectionately with Zhenzhu while holding a radish, widened his eyes. He pointed at the horse and then at him, his face flushing with anger. "Didn't you say that horse was hot-tempered?"
"It's hot for Madam, but just right for me."
“………” Jiang Wu curled her lips, thinking that he was really pretentious.
After choosing a horse and arriving at the open grassland, I saw a graceful figure riding towards me in the distance.
The horse rushed towards them, and when it approached them, its owner pulled the reins and then dismounted in a heroic manner.
"Master, Sister Jiang, I didn't expect you to come ride horses too."
Shen Tingxue, wearing a pomegranate red riding suit and lambskin boots, glanced at the horse led by Jiang Wu, her eyes flickering with nostalgia. "I remember my horsemanship was taught by my master. The first time I rode a horse, I was so scared that I cried. If my master hadn't held me and taught me how to ride, I don't know how long it would have taken me to learn."
"Princess, it was me who carried you on horseback, not the Prime Minister." Xie Yu, who was leading a horse over, rubbed his nose and explained sincerely.
At that time, the Prime Minister was busy suppressing the Rebellion of the Three Kings. He was so busy all day that he didn't even have time to sleep. How could he have the time to teach people how to ride horses?
Shen Tingxue's smile froze as her bony fingers clenched the long whip. Without the slightest embarrassment, she winked playfully: "Look at me, it's all because of the too many memories of being with Master that I even thought Master taught me how to ride a horse."
"Master, you haven't ridden with me for a long time. How about we have a competition to see who rides faster? I want you to know that I might even be better than you now." Shen Tingxue invited him, a typical example of someone with ulterior motives.
Xie Ji straightened the veil that Jiang Wu had put on because she felt too hot. "I'm afraid I don't have time, because I promised your wife that I would teach her how to ride a horse."
Shen Tingxue's originally smug smile froze on her face, and she tried to persuade him again without giving up: "Master, why do you have to teach me personally for such a simple thing as riding a horse?"
Although Jiang Wu didn't know why Xie Ji didn't agree to her request, she couldn't help but feel that she was a villain and said secretly, "The princess wanted my husband to teach me then, so why can't I let my husband teach me now? Does the princess only allow my husband to teach you and not me?"
Shen Tingxue, whose bony fingers were clenched so tightly that the whip turned white, listened to her boasting and wanted to expose the true face of this bitch immediately, but she had to suppress her disgust and squeeze out a smile, "No."
"I just thought that Master is so busy on weekdays, why not let me teach Sister Jiang."
"No matter how busy my husband is, he still has time to teach me how to ride a horse." Jiang Wu, with a sweet smile on her face, trotted over to him uncertainly, took his arm, and asked with a smile, "Husband, am I right?"
Xie Ji, who didn't like interacting with others, didn't pull his hand back. Instead, he nodded and said, "Let's go. I'll go to the front and teach you how to ride a horse."
Shen Tingxue, who had never thought of being ignored, was so angry that she was about to go crazy. Just as she was about to speak again unwillingly, a nonchalant voice was floating to her ears on the wind.
"Are you going horseback riding? It would be a good opportunity to take this prince along."
The moment Ji Xiao's voice rang in his ears, a chill quickly rose from the soles of Jiang Wu's feet, then spread throughout his limbs and bones, and finally he shrank his neck and dared not look up.
No, why is he here too?
If she had known he was there, she wouldn't have come even if she wanted to learn horse riding.
After Ji Xiao rode over, his eyes inadvertently swept across the woman who was almost sticking her head into the ground. A surge of anger surged in his chest and he was about to question her how could she do something wrong to him and how could she humiliate him like this in her dream.
Noticing the man beside her who was so imposing that he couldn't be ignored even when he didn't speak, her husband, she put the tip of her tongue against the roof of her mouth and chuckled, "Madam, it's been a long time since we last met. I hope you're feeling better."
Feeling an intense gaze falling on him, Jiang Wu, who wished he could be chewed up and eaten, felt his scalp tingling. "I feel much better now. Thank you for your concern, Prince."
"That's good. After learning that Madam is ill, I can't help but lose my appetite. I just hope that Madam's health will recover soon."
Jiang Wu, who always felt that he would say something to kill her next, shook Xie Ji's wrist. Her voice was so sweet that it sounded like she had a piece of osmanthus candy in her mouth. "Husband, didn't you say you would teach me how to ride? Let's go riding."
Ji Xiao didn't expect that she would be so bold as to ignore him and even act coquettishly with other men in front of him. Anger gradually deepened in his eyes, and he squeezed into their conversation again with a stormy look, grinning, "Xue'er hasn't ridden with the Prime Minister for a long time. How about the Prime Minister go and ride with Xue'er, and I'll stay and teach the Prime Minister's wife how to ride."
Although he didn't want to miss the opportunity to ride a horse with his sweetheart, he didn't want to see her sad even more.
"Madam, what do you think of my proposal?" Ji Xiao, with his bony fingers bulging as he gripped the reins, looked at the woman who lowered her head and pretended to be a partridge, not daring to look at him. She must finally be afraid now.
Shen Tingxue agreed with a smile, “Master, why don’t you let the prince teach Sister Jiang how to ride a horse, and you and I go horse racing.”
"You promised me to teach me how to ride a horse before, so you forgot about it. But now, are you unwilling to fulfill even my little wish? Or do you, Master, no longer want to love Xue'er?"
"Things come first, and I've already promised Madam that I would teach her to ride." Xie Ji, unwilling to waste any more time on such matters, led her to the horse. "Before you mount, place your left foot on the stirrup for leverage, and at the same time, place your right leg over the horse's back to steady yourself."
Jiang Wu mounted the horse as he instructed. When she was swaying and about to fall, a ruler landed on her hands and shoulders. "Sit tight, keep your back straight, hold the reins, and look straight ahead."
"Don't move your feet, and don't shake your body."
Jiang Wu, who was so frightened that she almost hugged the horse's neck, felt embarrassed and annoyed when the ruler fell on her, and wanted to snatch the ruler from his hand.
Doesn't she have any dignity when she is punished with a ruler in public?
Also, is he sick? Who carries a ruler with them?
"Sit down."
"I understand." Jiang Wu, whose cheeks were flushed red, bit her lip and, suppressing her shyness, sat up a little bit. Her eyes suddenly became excited as she grasped the reins tightly. "Husband, I can sit still now."
"Hold the reins and stirrups with both hands, squeeze the horse's belly with your legs and let the horse go forward." Xie Ji saw that she didn't move for a long time, and her face turned red, so he asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"No." Jiang Wu, whose eyes were wandering left and right, couldn't say it. In her dream, she saw him and Shen Tingxue having an indescribable scene on horseback.
Moreover, he was the one who taught Shen Tingxue in the same serious tone as when he taught her, telling her not to make a sound, but his actions below were extremely bad.
"You don't want others to hear it, my dear disciple."
Xie Ji patted the horse without thinking too much, asking it to move forward a few steps. "The first thing to learn when riding a horse is not to be afraid, not to be afraid of falling off the horse, and not to look ahead or behind. You should think about how to tame this fierce horse and make it work for you."
When Ma Gang started walking, Jiang Wu subconsciously leaned back due to the inertia of the force, and a ruler hit her shoulder.
"Focus. Have you forgotten what I just taught you?"
"Keep your back straight, hold the reins, and look straight ahead. If you're still afraid, remember 'steady' and don't let go of the reins no matter what."
"I understand. Besides, I'm already old enough. You can't hit me with a ruler anymore. I'm not a child anymore." Jiang Wu, filled with shame, quickly adjusted his posture and gripped the reins tightly to prevent the horse from throwing him sideways.
Jiang Wu found that the first step was difficult, and she couldn't do the second and third steps. Instead, after learning to ride the horse, she couldn't wait to let Pearl run.
"Husband, do I know how to ride a horse?"
"Go ahead, but remember not to go too far." Xie Ji watched her ride away before looking away.
Gao Lang was a little worried, "Sir, my wife has just learned to ride a horse, aren't you worried that she will fall off?"
"Won't."
Seeing that the master was so confident, Gao Lang wanted to say something, but he happened to see the lady who had originally said that she wanted to make the horse run, riding the horse named Pearl, moving forward bit by bit like an ant moving house.
Well, he really didn't have to worry about his wife falling off the horse.
As the colors of the foothills on the horizon were gradually swallowed up by darkness, it was time to go back.
"Come here today, and come back tomorrow if you want to learn."
"Okay." Jiang Wu didn't feel anything when he was riding on the horse, but when he got off the horse and put his legs on the ground, his legs were as soft as cotton and he almost fell to his knees.
Whenever she moved, she would feel a burning pain on the inside of her thigh. She didn't need to look to know that the skin must be broken and swollen.
After returning to the dormitory and finishing her meal, Jiang Wu was about to ask Juan'er to fetch water for her to bathe when someone knocked on the door.
Then a maidservant, whom she didn't know, came in, bowed, and said, "Madam, my prince has invited you to the bamboo forest in the back mountain. He said he has something to tell you."
Jiang Wu, who was grimacing in pain, of course refused. Not to mention it now, she felt the pain in her legs as if they didn't belong to her just by moving.
After being rejected by her, the maid did not leave, but said: "The prince said that if the lady is unwilling to go, he will come to find her."
Threat, this is a naked threat!
Jiang Wu pounded the bed hard, naturally not wanting to see him, but also worried that if she didn't go, he would go crazy and come looking for her. Although after having that dream, she had always been very careful not to let others catch her, even the things she gave them were all from the public wholesale market.
As for the love letter, she barely knew how to write one.
But I couldn't help but worry that the dog would go crazy. You know, the look he gave me when he left was as scary as a vicious dog biting someone.
Jiang Wu was holding onto the edge of the bed and was struggling to move her legs to get out of bed. As soon as she left the bed, her legs went limp and she fell straight to the ground. She accidentally pulled her wound and the pain made her burst into tears.
Just at this moment, the tightly closed door was pushed open.
"If your leg is injured, you should rest well. Or maybe you don't want this leg tomorrow." Xie Ji walked into the room, picked up the person and put him on the bed. "If there is anything you want, just call the maid to get it for you."
Jiang Wu's eyes rolled. Ji Gou wanted her to go for a private meeting, and she really wanted to go. But her husband was here, so she naturally had to appease him and not let him get suspicious.
She also wanted to meet him, but her husband stayed in the room and refused to leave. What could she do? She couldn't let her husband find out that his wife was trying to have an affair.
"This is the medicine I asked the abbot for. It will feel much better after applying it." Xie Ji took out a white porcelain bottle and handed it over. "It will feel uncomfortable when you first learn to ride a horse, but it will get better after a few more times."
Jiang Wu, who had dozed off and was about to receive a pillow, happily took the small medicine bottle and said, "My husband is so good to me."
She was about to apply the medicine, and seeing that he had no intention of leaving, a blush quickly burned her cheeks, "Husband, could you please step aside for a moment."
Although he only had Shen Tingxue in his heart and would not have any impulse towards her, Jiang Wu still couldn't do the scene of taking off his pants and applying medicine with his legs spread wide in front of him.
Realizing that she was about to apply medicine, Xie Ji turned his back uncomfortably and coughed lightly, "I'm outside the door. Call me if you need anything."
"I know."
Jiang Wu did not apply medicine immediately, but endured the pain and limped to the back of the screen to take a shower first. She was so handsome that she could even fumigate herself after running for so long without taking a shower.
After taking a shower, Jiang Wu slowly came to the bed, opened the ointment, scooped a piece with clean hands and smeared it between her legs, which were red and swollen from friction. The coolness instantly covered the original red and spicy stinging pain.
The ointment is not pungent, but rather has a refreshing herbal fragrance. You can tell it is expensive just by smelling it.
Jiang Wu didn't want to wear pants after applying the medicine, and the pants would become sticky if they touched the wound, so he simply pulled the quilt over his legs.
Thinking about what would happen if he waited outside for too long and left, and then Ji Xiao sent someone to ask her to come over for a private meeting, she hurriedly let someone in.
Although they are husband and wife, they don't have much to talk about. They sit in a corner of the room, busy with their own things, which is a rare harmony.
Jiang Wu, whose eyelids were drooping with sleep, rubbed her eyes and looked at the man who was still in the room and had no intention of leaving. She yawned and asked subconsciously, "Husband, will you sleep with me tonight?"
After she asked, she felt that it was unlikely. Shen Tingxue was here, so he should be like her, not knowing what the world was.
The man, who was unbuttoning his coat with his back to her, revealing his broad shoulders and narrow waist, spoke in a clear voice like pearls falling from a jade chime, "There are no extra rooms in the dormitory, not to mention that we are husband and wife."
He stayed in her house tonight, mainly to figure out why he had those dreams and whether he would have those dreams again in the holy land of Buddhism.
"Well, then I'll give you half of the bed." Jiang Wu reluctantly moved his buttocks to squeeze in silently, and grabbed the pants beside him and put them on hurriedly under the quilt.
"No, I can sleep on the couch." Xie Ji took off his coat and hung it on the wooden handle, then turned and walked behind the four-season screen with spring peach, summer lotus, autumn chrysanthemum and winter plum blossoms.
In the dormitory that originally had only one bed, a couch appeared at some point.
Jiang Wu felt that she couldn't accept it so easily, otherwise she would seem heartless, so she decided to express some concern in a coy way: "The bed is so big, my husband and I can't sleep on the same bed, not to mention that the couch is so small, it should be me who sleeps on it."
Xie Ji said with a smile: "Madam, do you mean that you want to sleep in the couch?"
Jiang Wu choked. If she had known this would happen, she should not have spoken so carelessly, so she decided to pretend to be dead.
Even though she knew that he had to remain chaste for Shen Tingxue, it didn't mean that she liked to share half of her bed with others.
Perhaps it was because he had been riding horses for half a day and playing around everywhere today, Jiang Wu was already very sleepy. He was really afraid that if he didn't sleep, he would come to test his knowledge, so he fell asleep quickly.
After she fell into a deep sleep, she came to the blank room again, and three options appeared in front of her again.
Black: A gentle and refined father-in-law who is self-disciplined and respectful to his parents X a beautiful widowed daughter-in-law
Green: Sleeping husband x unsatisfied and cheating wife
Blue: The unlucky scholar who was discovered disguised as a man X the teachers and classmates who discovered your female identity
Jiang Wu looked at the options above. She had learned several more words than last time, so this time she decided to choose the one that taught her the most words.
So she eagerly chose——
