Chapter 51 What is love?
Jiang Jing felt a pang of embarrassment in his ears. The woman's hands were cold, and he was immersed in it.
"I like it." His heart was filled with both bittersweetness and bitterness. This strange emotion was new to him. His sanity was constantly being severed. He held on to the last bit of rationality and said in a muffled voice, "You're already married. Don't do anything you'll regret. Your status as an exile is enough to plunge your reputation as the general's wife into the abyss and send you to hell."
The moment our lips touched.
He thought that he should push Jiusu away and not do such a thing, but when his hand was just on her waist, he stopped moving, or rather, he didn't dare to move for fear of scaring her away. His beating heart admitted that Jiang Jing also wanted to kiss Jiusu.
The woman exuded a faint fragrance.
Breathing became rapid.
Jiang Jing moved away, his dark eyes were deep and terrifying, his body was covered by the quilt, but the desire was clearly felt. The two looked at each other, and he spoke, his voice hoarse, as if he was trying hard to restrain something.
"Jiusu, you can't do this. Go back. I won't tell anyone."
Jiusu blushed. She had been having too much fun and accidentally kissed him. Mainly because Jiang Jing was too easy to bully. She sat up, adjusted her hair, and put her hand into her clothes. "Actually..."
Jiang Jing was visibly panicked, and he quickly held her hand.
"I can't defeat Chen Zhao right now, and I can't protect you. Wait until I can shake off my status as a fugitive and work my way up. Then, I'll play with you no matter how you want."
"I'm just taking something? What are you thinking about?" Jiusu blinked, took out the divorce papers from his lapel pocket, handed them over, and then said in an ambiguous tone, "You're not thinking..."
Jiang Jing's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at the three words "divorce letter" and his breathing became slightly choked.
He took her hand and lay down, then lifted the quilt with his feet and covered himself with it. "If this is a dream, then stay with me for a while."
Jiusu responded softly.
Wow, you are so timid.
In his dreams, he only dared to ask her to sleep with him obediently.
It rained all night, and Jiang Jing looked at the person in his arms all night. His eyelids closed in the middle, but only he understood the life he had survived after being forced to stay awake. He took out the divorce papers folded under the pillow and checked again and again.
Feeling sleepy, he closed his eyes, and soon, he could hear the sound of even breathing.
No firewood will be sent on rainy days.
When Jiang's mother and daughter came back for a break at noon, they found the food left in the kitchen untouched. She poured the food into the pot to heat it up and called out, "Nian Yin, go call Jing'er. Why didn't she eat breakfast? Is she too tired and still asleep?"
After sleeping until noon, Jiusu was completely dazed.
Jiang Jing asked, "Awake?"
"Yeah." Jiusu's eyes softened. As she sat up, she remembered that the two of them had slept in the same bed for a whole night and nothing had happened. A smile appeared in her eyes. "Jiang Jing, do you want to have a relationship?"
The man was stunned. He bent down to straighten her shoes and folded the bedding and put it aside.
"Why, falling in love?"
Jiusu: "We are boyfriend and girlfriend, only each other. If we get along well, the next step is marriage. But if I find out that you are cheating on me or being intimate with someone else, I will break up with you."
The only one.
These three words deeply touched Jiang Jing's heart.
He agreed, "Then let's have a love affair. It will be eternal and only with you. I will never betray you."
Jiusu opened his arms and his tone was tinged with smile.
"Boyfriend, give me a hug."
She remembered a saying: falling in love and getting married requires an impulse; otherwise, once the passion cools down, people will no longer want to do it.
"Okay, girlfriend." Jiang Jing hooked his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms, pressing his chin on her shoulder. He closed his eyes and carefully sniffed the unique scent that belonged only to women. His arms were strong and gave him a sense of security.
Why do you like Jiusu?
Love at first sight is too general, and love that grows over time needs to be proven.
Jiang Nianyin knocked on the door, but no one opened it. Hearing the movement inside, she pushed the door open and said, "Brother, you guys... uh, you guys continue, I didn't see anything!"
Bang.
Before she could come back to her senses,
The two of them tidied their clothes and walked out.
Jiusu hooked her little finger around his hand and chuckled, "Sorry, I scared you. Chen Zhao and I have already divorced."
At the dinner table, this was the first time Jiusu met Jiang's father.
The body feels weak and in severe cases, there is even coughing up blood. It seems that there is something wrong with all the internal organs.
Jiang Jing's hair fell in front of his forehead. He put down his chopsticks, held Jiusu's hand, and said, "Before this, Ah Su had been planning to divorce Chen Zhao, but Chen Zhao came back a few days ago, and she found an opportunity to confront him. Chen Zhao brought back a pregnant woman, and Ah Su's heart was not with him, so she left."
The Jiang family believed this reason.
Why else would a beautiful girl leave the general behind and get close to a family of outlaws? There was no profit to be made, the only thing that was certain was true love.
Jiang's father raised his glass, "I will always remember Miss Jiu's kindness to my family. Our family may have fallen on hard times, but the entire Jiang family is still here. Once we've avoided the limelight, we will return to Beijing. Jing'er is no good, and he will definitely regain his status. Of course, although Jing'er is my son, if he betrays you, I will definitely expel him from the family."
"Thank you, uncle." Jiusu quickly stood up and clinked glasses with him.
After one stick of incense, the food was cleared away and the four of them started chatting.
Jiusu suggested: "Uncle, I know some medical skills, can I help you?"
"Thank you for your help." Jiang's father put his arms on the table and coughed weakly, but he was not sad. His son found a good daughter-in-law, and he could rest in peace even if he died.
Jiusu diagnosed that it was actually tuberculosis.
"Uncle, you contracted tuberculosis due to emotional frustration and excessive worry. Fortunately, there are no tuberculosis worms in your body, and your vital energy has not been damaged, so it can still be cured."
She asked for paper and pen.
Write down the prescription.
"You are restless and insomniac, so you need to add some sour jujube seeds, Polygonum multiflorum, and mother-of-pearl to calm your mind."
Jiang's mother remembered something and took out a worn prescription from the drawer. "Miss Jiu, take a look at this. This is the medicine Huimingtang prescribed. The head of the family felt good after taking it, but it was too expensive so he stopped taking more. The medicine on this seems to be completely different from what you prescribed."
Jiusu muttered softly, "Ginseng, Chinese angelica, white peony? You can't drink this medicine. It's all tonic, so it feels strong, but it will do more harm than good to your uncle. Long-term use may endanger his life."
Listen to this.
"I'm afraid it's someone from the imperial court." Jiang Jing clenched his fist. No wonder the people from Huiming Hall always came to his house with such good intentions to deliver medicine. "The weasel is paying New Year's greetings to the chicken. It has no good intentions!"
Mother Jiang clutched her chest and choked up, "We've all left Shengjing, why are they still holding on to us?"
Jiusu added another medicine to the prescription, she said.
"The people at the pharmacy must know you. To be on the safe side, I personally confirm every time I dispense medicine. Don't worry, you will see results in three months, improvement in five months, and complete recovery in six months."
"Miss Jiu, money..." Jiang's mother took out all the family assets and stuffed them into Jiusu's hands.
Jiusu said: "Just deduct it from your wages. You can keep this money in your hands for emergencies."
