But he was also afraid that if he questioned the maid now, she would wake up Jiang Jiang, so he asked her to leave first.
Ginger...
Lu Zheng used his eyes to describe her facial features. As if sensing his burning gaze, Jiang Jiang wrinkled her nose, turned around and buried her head in his arms.
Lu Zheng remembered that in his previous life, the young lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion died at a young age because she was born prematurely and was born weak. She contracted an epidemic and passed away at a young age.
Jiang Jiang survived this life, but her congenitally weak constitution remained unchanged.
Lu Zheng had heard from the old maids in the palace that those children who were born prematurely and were born weak would easily die young if they were not well cared for, and even if they were well cared for, their lifespan would be shorter than that of others.
Lu Zheng couldn't calm down when he thought about the possibility of Jiang Jiang dying young.
Lu Zheng's fingertips gently stroked Jiang Jiang's sleeping face, with unspeakable guilt surging in his heart.
He recalled how she had never complained in the days since she got married, and even accepted the meager breakfast. But she was the daughter of the Jiang family, raised in luxury, she should have lived a carefree life, and now, because of him...
He closed his eyes, suppressed his surging emotions, and carefully tucked the quilt for her.
In this life, even for Jiang Jiang, he will not fail again.

When Jiang Jiang finally woke up, it was already noon.
She opened her eyes drowsily and saw Lu Zheng leaning against the headboard, holding a book in his hands. Seeing that she was awake, he immediately put the book down and said gently, "Are you awake?"
Jiang Jiang rubbed his eyes, then suddenly remembered that today was the day he was going home. He sat up abruptly and asked, "What time is it? Are we late?"
Lu Zheng held her shoulder and soothed her, "It's okay. I've already sent a message to the Prime Minister's residence." He raised his hand to smooth down her messy hair. "Take your time. There's no rush."
Jiang Jiang looked at him in surprise, feeling that Lu Zheng was particularly gentle today.
After finishing washing up, Jiang Jiang discovered that the carriage parked in front of the mansion was much more spacious than usual. The carriage was covered with thick cushions, and there were some exquisite snacks and a pot of hot tea on the small table.
Lu Zheng personally carried her onto the carriage, his movements as gentle as if he were handling some fragile treasure.
The carriage moved slowly. Jiang Jiang was about to lift the curtain to take a look at the street scene, but Lu Zheng stopped her: "The wind is strong. Be careful not to catch a cold."
As he spoke, he took out a fox fur cloak and carefully wrapped it around her.
Jiang Jiang blinked and couldn't help asking, "Your Highness, why are you so cautious today?"
Lu Zheng paused, a hint of darkness flashing in his eyes, and then he smiled and said, "You are weak, so you should be more careful."
Jiang Jiang always felt that there was something else behind his words, but seeing that he looked normal, she didn't ask any more questions.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Jiang Yun was getting anxious waiting: "Why hasn't my sister come yet?"
After he finished speaking, Prime Minister Jiang glared at him: "Your sister is weak, it's only natural that she should get more sleep. Are you so anxious because you have another appointment with the Sixth Prince?"
Jiang Yun was exposed by him, and her face was a little embarrassed and angry. She stamped her feet and said, "Dad! What's wrong with my daughter cultivating her relationship with her fiancé before getting married?"
Prime Minister Jiang: “…” That’s indeed nothing.
But thinking about how the Sixth Prince had been coming up to him like a dog seeing a meat bun these days, Prime Minister Jiang felt a little overwhelmed. Was he trying to cultivate a relationship with you or with me, your father?
He once again reminded his daughter: "The Sixth Prince's intentions are impure, and he is extremely scheming. He is not a good son-in-law."

Yes, it's the fourth update again (hands on hips)
Yesterday I was browsing the webpage and saw that a reader recommended a book to me that I was short of books to read. The writing was so good that I was really moved to tears!
