After another night of passion, Gu Qing's whole body was limp, and her delicate hands were so numb that she could hardly use any strength.
The sun is shining brightly.
Gu Qing's heart suddenly tensed. He sat up abruptly, smoothly threw back the quilt, put on his shoes and got out of bed. It took him a while to react and said, "Huh? Where's Chen Zhizhou?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Cuiping came in with some toiletries and carefully helped her change her clothes. "Madam, the young master got up before dawn."
"The young master was worried that you would be too tired, so he packed up his things to go back home early, saying that you don't need to worry about these things when you get up."
Cuiping's tone was so gentle that Gu Qing could even imagine the scene of Chen Zhizhou instructing his servants to prepare matters.
He never cared much about family matters and spent most of his time in the military camp.
In my previous life, I didn't like him, so I naturally didn't bother to ask about his daily life, and I always felt that he didn't care about me.
If you think about it carefully, this is not the case.
Gu Qing's eyebrows curved slightly, his eyes were gentle, and he couldn't help but chuckle.
Even Cuiping was infected by her and said enviously, "The relationship between Madam and Young Master is getting better and better."
"Girl, what nonsense are you talking about?" Gu Qing had an angry look on his face, but a smile was always on his lips, and his heart was warm.
Just as my mother said, whether you live a good life or not depends entirely on yourself.
If she had not been instigated by the Gu family in her previous life, causing her to always live with resentment and Chen Zhizhou, perhaps she would have lived a harmonious and peaceful life with her husband.
Just as she was thinking about it, a pair of hands stroked Gu Qing's waist and hugged her from behind.
Chen Zhizhou rested his head on Gu Qing's shoulder, greedily enjoying her sweet fragrance, and asked, "Are you up so early?"
"Why don't you get some more sleep?"
Cuiping, who was standing by, immediately lowered her head, blushed, and quickly retreated with her things, fearing that she would disturb the tenderness between the young master and his wife.
Gu Qingqiang suppressed his shyness and watched Cuiping hurriedly leave. He turned back and said angrily, "Cuiping is still in the room, you..."
"Be more careful next time!"
She felt both embarrassed and annoyed. This man was becoming even more outrageous now!
Chen Zhizhou saw that her face was crystal clear and smooth, like a reddish white jade, which made him love and delight him. He couldn't help but pull her over to face him.
Bully and suppress.
Gu Qing's slender waist was resting against the round table. Chen Zhizhou held her with one hand and supported the table with the other. The atmosphere was ambiguous and charming.
"you……"
It was broad daylight, and they were about to set off for home, but this scoundrel was still thinking about those things.
Gu Qing turned serious, thinking that this person always responded to soft words rather than hard ones, so he coughed lightly and said, "It's only three days. Just bear with it for a while."
"I'll do whatever you want then, but not today..."
Chen Zhizhou's eyes were burning. Before Gu Qing could finish her words, he let go of her and took a step back, standing with his hands behind his back as if nothing had happened. "What can't you do?"
"I have to go back home today. What's on your mind, madam?" Chen Zhizhou deliberately prolonged the last syllable, with a teasing look in his eyes.
Gu Qing was immediately annoyed and glared at him: "You! It's nothing!"
"Okay, I was just teasing you, why did you take it seriously?" Chen Zhizhou hugged her again, holding her hand, rubbing his rough fingertips on her palm, which completely dissipated Gu Qing's anger.
"I have packed all the things. Madam, you have worked hard last night. You don't have to worry about anything after you return home. Leave it to me, your husband."
Chen Zhizhou's eyes showed pity.
Gu Qing is a noble lady from an official family and has never suffered hardship. The journey back home is long and the conditions in the remote countryside are poor, so he can't help but feel reluctant.
"Is it all yours?"
Gu Qing was slightly surprised, then suddenly chuckled and jokingly said, "You never care about family matters, and you don't know the thoughts between the sisters-in-law, or the open and covert struggles within the several rooms."
"What would you do if the second and third wives came to cause trouble?"
She asked back, holding her arms around his thin waist, a touch of pity in her heart.
The inner courtyard is a battlefield for women.
She didn't want Chen Zhizhou to get involved too much. He was skilled in martial arts and was very good at officialdom. He should earn more fame and do what he wanted to do.
In the previous life, it was because I was tied up in too many things that I was harmed by the villain when I was at the peak of my career.
Gu Qing understood Chen Zhizhou's ambitions and also knew the righteousness in his heart.
Even though his reputation was ruined by the people from the second and third wives, in her heart, Chen Zhizhou was the best man.
People in the world are often blind and heartless, and are led by others. She was the same in her previous life.
"Madam, are you concerned about your husband?"
Chen Zhizhou was a man of great insight. He could tell what Gu Qing was thinking at a glance. He raised his eyebrows and pulled her closer. "Madam, you are becoming more and more attentive to me now."
"As a husband, I am very happy."
His eyes moved slightly, and Gu Qing rested his head on his chest, listening to his intense heartbeat, but his heart skipped a beat.
She couldn't help but hug him tightly with her backhand: "You and I are husband and wife. Since you always think about me, I will naturally take care of you too."
"I'm afraid we'll run into a lot of trouble when we go back. But if you and I work together, we'll have a smooth journey."
Gu Qing raised her head, met his gaze, and suddenly stood on tiptoe to lightly touch his lips: "How is it?"
The softness on her lips came so quickly that Chen Zhizhou was stunned for a moment. He then hugged her and said with a smile, "Great! With a wife like this, what else could a husband ask for?"
The two of them stayed in the house for a while before having breakfast together and coming out.
The rest of the people in the Chen Mansion have been packed up.
Six carriages were parked in front and behind the door. The elders of the first, second and third houses rode in the first three carriages, and the eldest sons and their wives of each party rode in turn.
As soon as Chen Zhizhou came out, he jumped on his horse, bent down and stretched out his hand to Gu Qing.
As far as I could see, Gu Qing was not wearing any jewelry today. He was wearing a set of tight clothes that was convenient for traveling. He looked quite handsome.
"Madam, how about you and your husband riding together?" Chen Zhizhou's voice was quite loud, and the other people sitting in the room could hear his words.
Gu Qing looked around and felt that something was not right. He was afraid that the second and third wives would gossip about him.
"lady?"
Before Gu Qing could answer, Chen Zhizhou pulled her up and held her in front of him: "Don't worry, your husband will protect you."
"Others dare not say anything more."
As he spoke, Chen Zhizhou happened to glance at the third wife, Bai, who was curiously lifting the curtain. His eyes were slightly cold, which frightened Bai so much that her face changed and she waved down the curtain.
Behind him was Chen Zhizhou's broad and powerful chest, and Gu Qing couldn't help but feel at ease. The breeze blew past, stirring his heart.
She leaned back, leaning against Chen Zhizhou, a smile spreading across her face as she said softly, "Thank you."
"Ma'am, sit tight!"
Chen Zhizhou shouted loudly and the horse raised its hooves to make way. Gu Qing screamed in fright and held his hand tightly.
The person behind her noticed her intention and tightly embraced her, saying in a steady voice, "Don't be afraid."
The fear just now gradually disappeared, and what followed was the refreshing and comfortable feeling of the spring breeze. Gu Qing slowly relaxed, and his heart became more and more relaxed.
Behind him, the Chen family's carriage also started to set off, and Chen's father and mother were not surprised.
On the other hand, Bai looked dejected: "What bad luck!"
