Chapter 30 Chapter 30 Madam is young, so it’s inevitable that she likes to play…
The moment the cabinet door opened, Jiang Wu, whose mind was blank, clearly heard the sound of her blood flowing backwards.
"Ma'am, have you changed your clothes?"
Behind her, her husband's voice was pressing her step by step.
Her tongue stung from biting her teeth, and her fingertips trembled as Jiang Wu quickly stepped forward and closed the cabinet door. "Not yet. Wait a moment."
Jiang Wu, still terrified, feared Ji Xiao would emerge from the closet without a care in the world. She quickly dug out her clothes from her chest and put them on. Then she said, "Husband, I'm dressed. When are we going to the training ground?"
She didn't want to go either, so this time she could be considered sacrificing herself.
After opening his eyelids, Xie Ji sat on the bed, lowered his eyes and straightened the collar of her clothes that were wrinkled by her sleeping. "This is the first time that Madam is so enthusiastic." She was as enthusiastic as the sun rising from the west.
I don't know how she slept last night. She grabbed his clothes so hard that they looked like pickled cabbage soaked in a pickle jar.
Jiang Wu wiped the tip of his nose with his finger. Although he felt guilty, his face was full of righteousness. "You said I was weak, so I must exercise to keep myself in good shape."
Xie Ji let out a muffled laugh as his chest shook. "Madam, what you said makes sense."
Ever since Xie Ji stayed overnight at Hengwu Garden, a maid would bring him the clothes he wore that day every morning. However, this was still too troublesome, so he still had to put a few of his own everyday clothes in her closet.
Speaking of the wardrobe, Xie Ji inadvertently slid to the tightly closed door.
I guess when they left, the mice hiding inside broke free from a trap and ran away.
After their masters leave, the maids will go forward to tidy up the room, remove the branches of flowers that still retain their charm after a night, replace them with new flowers, and open the window frames to ventilate the room.
As the last maid left, the whole room fell into the silence of late night again.
After making sure that they would not come back, Song Jin, who had curled up his hands and feet under the bed and spent a difficult night, finally crawled out from under the bed with his limbs stiff. Even though someone cleaned the room every day, there would still be a little dust accumulated under the bed.
And his fingertips were hooked on the bellyband that Jiang Wu had not been able to find before.
The dusty bellyband no longer had the beauty it had when it was first seen, but instead became wrinkled into a ball.
Song Jin, who was stroking the bellyband with his fingertips, hesitated for a moment, then suddenly picked up the thin piece of cloth and put it to his nose to sniff it, then let go after letting out an ambiguous laugh.
Before leaving, she did not take away the thing that could bring her to eternal damnation, but reluctantly threw it under the bed.
Thinking that another maid would come in soon, he walked out without hesitation.
But he didn't go out through the door in a fair way, he climbed out the window.
What he didn't know was that everything he did fell into the eyes of a pair of eyes in the closet.
If he had any dirty thoughts of taking her things away, Ji Xiao thought, he would come out and beat him to a pulp even if it meant risking being discovered.
Their bet was to make Jiang Wu fall in love with them and then divorce Xie, rather than threatening her with a woman's personal belongings like a gangster.
A person can be vulgar but not mean.
Because of the heavy rain last night, the temperature has dropped today. I think if there are a few more rains, the autumn with cooler temperatures will come.
Lifting her skirt, Jiang Wu carefully jumped over a puddle, thinking of Shen Tingxue who was still kneeling in front of the study before she left yesterday. She raised her head and asked, "Husband, it rained so hard yesterday. Did the princess go back?"
"I'm back." Xie Ji, who was walking side by side with her, saw her actions, endured it again and again, and finally did not say a word.
She wasn't wearing a skirt, so it didn't matter if she jumped a little while walking.
Jiang Wu wanted to ask more questions, but when he looked up, he arrived at the martial arts training ground. His face quickly turned into a bitter melon with worry, and he looked listless, even more listless than a hibiscus flower that had been knocked off a branch.
"Start by running one lap today. When you can complete a full lap, increase it to one and a half laps, or two laps."
Hearing his voice, Jiang Wu became even more worried. As she lowered her head, she suddenly saw Zhenzhu in the distance. Her eyes lit up and she pointed at her, "Husband, I don't want to run today. I want to ride a horse."
"You said before that proper horse riding can also be a form of exercise." She was thinking that running uses her two legs, while riding a horse uses Pearl's four legs, so when you think about it, isn't it the same as not running at all?
Xie Ji's narrow eyes swept over his eager little wife, and he opened his thin lips slightly, "Yes."
Jiang Wu, who had received permission, was afraid that he would regret it, so she immediately ran over like a bird released from a cage, touching Zhenzhu's head and then her mane, "Zhenzhu, do you miss me?"
Xie Ji took a ball of hay to feed Zhenzhu, but his words were as cold as if they were soaked in snow water. "You chose to ride a horse, so you can just ride the horse around the training ground four times. When you finish running, you can go back to eat."
Jiang Wu's eyes suddenly widened: "Why? I only run one lap, why do I have to ride four laps?"
This is not fair to her, no, it is not fair to Pearl.
"Madam, do you think four laps are not enough? Do you want to add another one?" His words meant that there was no room for negotiation.
Jiang Wu, who was originally thinking of protesting, shut his mouth instantly, thinking that he was such a disgusting person. No wonder a blind man like Shen Tingxue would fall for him.
"If you ride faster, one circle will take exactly half an incense stick, and four circles will take exactly half an hour." Xie Ji had just finished speaking when Gao Lang, who was holding a heavy bow, came over with a maid in blue clothes.
When the maid saw Xie Ji, her eyes were red and she knelt down on the muddy ground after last night's rain. "My Lord, the princess has been running a high fever since she came back last night. She has been calling your name in a daze. I beg you to go see the princess. Even if the princess did something wrong in a moment of confusion, she is still the little girl you raised."
Xie Ji easily took the heavy bow that Gao Lang had to lift with both hands. He did not respond, but asked, "Have you called the imperial physician?"
Qiaozhi, who thought there was a chance, nodded hurriedly and said, "Please."
"Is the fever gone?"
Qiaozhi gritted her teeth and was about to say no, but her voice gradually fell silent when she met the man's eyes, which were so cold and calm that they seemed to be able to see through all her hypocrisy and lies.
Qiaozhi, whose nails were about to tear her palms apart, suppressed her overwhelming fear and nodded without daring to lie, "The princess's fever has subsided."
"It's good that the fever has subsided." Xie Ji said to the steward who had followed him, "Get some ginseng from the warehouse for the princess to replenish her body. Do your best to satisfy her any requests."
When Qiaozhi heard that he had sent a bunch of supplements to the princess but never mentioned that he wanted to visit her, she immediately became anxious, "Prime Minister, the princess said she wanted to see you."
"I will go see her when I'm done with my work." These few short words were his answer.
Even if everything Changle said was true, it could not change the fact that he was being manipulated like a puppet during that period of time.
You can say he is cruel or heartless.
He thought that he was just an ordinary person. It was impossible that after experiencing all those things, even if he knew that she was an innocent victim, he would not be able to face her calmly immediately.
The housekeeper who brought her here blushed and immediately pulled her out in a hurry, "Even if you are a maidservant beside the princess, how can you yell at her!"
Qiao Zhi, who was being dragged away, shouted unwillingly, "Prime Minister, don't forget that the princess is your disciple. You promised to take good care of her!"
"I haven't forgotten my true self." He won't make a promise easily, but once he makes it, it will last forever.
Jiang Wu held a stick and tied a juicy carrot to the top of the stick with a rope. He placed it in front of Zhenzhu and urged her to move slowly to his side. "The princess is sick. Why don't you go see her, my husband?"
You know, in his dreams, whenever Shen Tingxue had a headache or a fever, he would be so anxious that he would stay by her side without sleep. Even when he was in a big court meeting or discussing important matters with other colleagues, he would leave them and rush to take care of Shen Tingxue's finger, which was accidentally pricked by a needle and had a drop of blood oozing out.
"I will go see her, but not now." Before confirming whether the person living in Changle's body is the real Changle or a so-called wandering ghost.
He didn't want to live that puppet life again, where his body was out of control, his memories were overwritten and plundered again and again, and he was powerless to do anything about it.
"Okay, go ride your horses now. Once you've finished four laps, come back and eat."
Jiang Wu let out a small click of his tongue.
Jiang Wu, who could now trot on Pearl, saw him also climb onto the horse with a heavy bow in his hand. She immediately showed interest and swung the carrot over to him, "Husband, I want to learn archery too."
By then, she will be riding a horse and shooting arrows at the same time, which will surely be extremely enviable.
Xie Ji saw that she was acting on impulse and naturally refused. "You should learn to ride a horse first. When you learn to ride a horse, I will teach you archery."
Jiang Wu pouted in dissatisfaction, "Can't I learn together?"
"You can learn together, but the prerequisite is that you must first master one skill before learning the new one. Otherwise, you will just bite off more than you can chew."
"Okay." Jiang Wu asked again, not giving up, "Can I watch you shoot arrows?"
"Don't you want to learn horseback riding? Or do you prefer running to riding?" Xie Ji had just finished speaking when he heard Jiang Wu's angry accusation roar, "No, my husband, how could you, a horse, steal the carrots I gave to Zhenzhu!"
Xie Ji lowered his eyes and saw that the carrot his wife used to hang Zhenzhu had been bitten in half by the whirlwind under him, taking advantage of his size advantage. Zhenzhu was so angry that she kicked her hoof.
Her horse has the same temperament as its owner.
He is greedy, timid, and very cowardly.
When Jiang Wu started running the first lap, he was still very slow and said he was riding, more like he was strolling with a carrot hanging on his head. By the second lap, he began to master some tricks, and by the third lap he was able to run stumblingly. It was not until the fourth lap that he finally completed a full lap, and he was so excited that he wanted to show off in front of him.
As soon as I got closer, I saw him riding on a horse, holding a heavy bow and pulling it open. His eyes were so sharp that his aura suddenly changed, and he carried a terrifying danger.
As the bowstring was pulled to the full moon, the arrow flew out of the bow.
Only two clangs were heard in the air, and an arrow was firmly inserted into the center of the target in the distance.
What shocked Jiang Wu was not that the arrows hit the bull's eye, but that a copper coin suddenly appeared on the shaft of each arrow, shining brightly in the sunlight.
Xie Ji retracted his hand, drew the bow, and threw it to Gao Lang beside him. Gao Lang, holding the bow, staggered twice before he could stand firm.
Jiang Wu asked curiously, "How heavy is this bow?"
"Two stones."
The way they weigh things here is that one stone is about 120 Song jin, and one Song jin is equal to about 600 grams per Song jin. Therefore, the pulling force of one stone is about 72 kilograms, and two stones are about 144 kilograms.
Xie Ji quickly dismounted and took the towel handed to her by the servant to wipe the sweat off her face and neck. "Okay, let's go back and have breakfast."
Jiang Wu took the hot towel and wiped his face with it, his eyes narrowed in comfort. He then reached out his hand again, "I want some water."
Xie Ji glanced at the water in his hand and had no choice but to hand it to her, "Water."
After handing it to her, he took the water from Xie Yu's hand that he had originally poured for Jiang Wu.
Because I had learned horse riding for a few days before, my legs didn't feel so weak that I couldn't walk after riding four laps this time like the first time. There was no skin broken between my legs, but I still felt a little sore, but fortunately it wasn't too serious.
After drinking the water, Jiang Wu thought of the two people in the room and yawned with a headache. "I'm a little tired. I won't eat breakfast yet. I'll eat after I wake up."
"Okay, remember to apply the medicine later." Xie Ji watched her leave, his face suddenly darkening, "Have you found out who was in Madam's yard last night?"
The moment he stepped into the house last night, he realized something was wrong, but he didn't say anything.
He wasn't sure what the person hiding in the room wanted to do, and he was worried that the person might hurt her in a desperate situation.
This was also the main reason why he chose to sleep in the same bed with her.
"According to the servants at Xiuzhu Pavilion, the young master was not at home last night and did not return until almost dawn." Xie Yu paused with a grim expression and continued, "I also found a shoe print in the West Garden. I have taken a rubbing of the print and am secretly searching for him."
Xie Yu hesitated for a long time, but still chose to speak out his speculation, "Sir, do you think the Madam got closer to her because her cousin is of similar age and they have the same topics to talk about?"
Xie Ji gave him a cold look and said, "She is still young, so it is inevitable that she likes to play a little. The man who seduced her deserves death."
As for their similar age, his wife is still young, so it is inevitable that she will be temporarily dazzled by new things.
After Jiang Wu returned to the house and took a shower, he was so tired that he didn't want to think about anything. He rolled directly onto the bed, pulled the quilt over his belly and was about to fall asleep.
It's been so long, if those two people are not stupid, they should know to leave earlier.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wu's eyelids were so sleepy that they were stuck together and he couldn't open them.
Just as the upper and lower eyelids were glued together, one of the eyelids was suddenly lifted up by someone's fingers.
No, he is sick!
Didn't you see she was asleep?
Ji Xiao, who should have left earlier, did not leave. Instead, he came out of the closet after she was about to fall asleep in bed. Then he lay beside the bed, plucking her eyelids with his fingers, and patted her face.
"Wake up."
"Jiang Wanwan, I order you to wake up quickly." He should have left long ago, but when he thought about how she dared to use him as a canvas and paint on him in her dream, he couldn't swallow it.
Is she treating herself like a dog for a walk?
Jiang Wu, whose eyelids were pulled and her face was being tugged, was so angry that she couldn't sleep and got up. She was full of resentment and was about to scold him for being sick, when a carved gold bracelet made of pure gold was put on her wrist.
The gold bracelet was so golden and heavy that it weighed down her wrist by two inches, making her already fair wrist look even more tender, so tender that it looked like it could be squeezed to produce water.
Why is she still angry? Why is she still sleeping?
"Do you like the big gold bracelet I made for you?" Ji Xiao saw that her eyes were fixed on the gold bracelet and she could not hide her pride. He knew that his taste was top-notch.
For him, giving people hairpins made of gemstones, jade, silk, flowers, gold or agate is far less practical than giving them gold.
Especially such a big bracelet made of pure gold, he didn't believe any woman could refuse it.
Jiang Wu, who was so eager to get a big gold bracelet, leaned over and kissed him on the cheek without hesitation, "I like it. The prince is so good to me."
"Why call me Prince?" Hearing her call him Prince, Ji Xiao subconsciously thought of the word "husband" that he heard her call last night. Once the thought came out, it felt like a cat's claw scratching his heart.
Jiang Wu, who touched the gold bracelet again and again and loved it very much, looked up in confusion, "What is it called?"
"Ahem." Ji Xiao, whose ears instantly turned red, coughed lightly, "What do you think our relationship is like now?"
Jiang Wu thought about it seriously, and said something that was hard to put into words: "Affair."
"What's an affair? How can it be called an affair? What we have is called true love, understand?" The word "affair" came crashing down, making Ji Xiao's fur stand on end like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
Jiang Wu silently swallowed back what she was about to say because he gave her a gold bracelet.
If they don't call it cheating, then in their hometown they would say that a woman is stealing a man and a man is stealing a woman.
but………
Jiang Wu's gaze inadvertently fell on his chest, which was heaving violently due to anger. While swallowing his saliva, he couldn't help but think of his chest in the dream, which was tied up with hemp rope and then stood stiff and proud.
I don’t know what he eats, how can he grow bigger than some women.
"Well, you promised me that you would be with me and marry me in the future. Don't you know what to call me for?" Ji Xiao decided to give her a reminder reluctantly.
Jiang Wu forced herself to look away from his bulging chest and swallowed, "Isn't this too early?"
Ji Xiao thought she was shy, so he put his big hand on the back of her head and pressed it against his chest. "If you scream, I'll make you a big gold bracelet tomorrow."
At that moment, Jiang Wu, whose face was forced to be buried in the man's chest muscles, felt that she was almost out of breath. She struggled with her hands to let go, "Shit..."
"Huh? You don't want the gold bracelet anymore."
Jiang Wu, who was about to be suffocated by his chest muscles, almost forgot about the gold bracelet and shouted in a hurry: "Husband, husband, please let me go first."
This sweet and naive call of "husband" made Ji Xiao feel elated, and a silly smile appeared on his lips unconsciously. "Yes, that's it."
The word "husband" was so tantalizing that Ji Xiao, who had been hard all night, finally let go of the woman buried in his chest with satisfaction. He rubbed her head with great joy and said, "There's a polo match in the south of the city the day after tomorrow. If you accepted the bracelet from your husband, it means you have agreed to be there. Do you understand?"
He wouldn't be so kind as to let her come and watch him play polo. Naturally, he had his own plans in mind.
Not long ago, Zijuan, who was beside Tingxue, complained to her that Tingxue had been crying a lot recently. She thought her master didn't like her. She didn't want to disturb her master anymore and was about to leave, so how could he allow her to leave.
If anyone was to leave, it should be someone else. It was also Xie Xiang's fault. He clearly liked Tingxue, so why did he marry another woman to make Tingxue sad, causing him to reluctantly seduce the woman he hated.
After Ji Xiao climbed out the window and left, if Jiang Wu hadn't still been wearing a gold bracelet on his wrist, everyone would have thought that they had misheard his last words.
Because of what he said, Jiang Wu had no intention of sleeping anymore.
After finishing a day's classes, during dinner in the evening, Jiang Wu proposed at the table, "Husband, do you remember what you said before, that as long as I do my homework well, you will agree to one of my requests?"
"Well, go ahead."
"That's right, I want to go out and play the day after tomorrow." Jiang Wu thought about it and realized that if he asked him to go out and play, he would definitely not agree. Fortunately, he had asked for a reward last time, which he could use now.
"good."
He suddenly agreed so readily that Jiang Wu was not used to it. "Why didn't my husband ask me who I was going to play with, where we were going, when I would be back, and whether I would have dinner when I came back?"
Xie Ji, who had just washed his hands and sat down, said as she wished, "I wonder who Madam will go out with the day after tomorrow, where she will go, when she will be back, and whether she will have dinner when she comes back?"
Xie Ji paused for a moment, then smiled, a rare moment. "I didn't ask before because I have a day off the day after tomorrow, so I'll go with my wife."
"!!!" Jiang Wu regretted why she had been so talkative before.
That's not right. Why can't she just act first and ask for permission later for this kind of thing?
Soon the day of the polo match arrived, and the sky was clear and blue.
A group of second-generation rich guys who came to play polo gathered together, and all they talked about were women and BMWs.
Someone in the crowd suddenly said, "My Lord, you said you would bring out the beauty you have hidden away in your golden house for us to see today."
Ji Xiao, who was playing with a piece of fruit, glanced at the son of Minister Zhao who was speaking and threw the fruit at him, "Don't worry, when has this prince ever broken his promise?"
"But my beauty is shy, so you'd better not scare her."
Zhao Lin took the fruit and smiled flatteringly, "Don't worry, my lord. We will definitely not scare your sister-in-law."
"That's better, otherwise I'll break your legs." Ji Xiao saw the carriage with the word "Thank you" on it coming, and a silent smile appeared on the corner of his lips. He turned over and walked over the railing and walked out, waving at them with his back to them.
"I'm going to pick someone up. Remember to save a good spot for me to watch the polo game."
