Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu originally stayed at Wenxiangju for a while, wanting to see how things were going between the two of them.
However, after waiting for half an hour, the two still hadn't come out. The three women discussed it and realized there was a chance: otherwise they would have come out long ago!
So Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu didn't wait any longer and returned to Wuxian Pavilion ahead of time. Mu Qingren was especially happy when she left.
"Hmph, from today onwards, I won't call her Sixth Sister anymore!"
"From now on, whenever she sees me, she'll have to call me 'sister' respectfully!"
"..."
After they left, Zhang Xiaoyu still had to settle accounts.
These past few days, both Wenxiangju and Da'an Newspaper Office have been doing incredibly well. Although they've only been open for a few days, they've already made a lot of money.
However, Zhang Xiaoyu had the addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division formulas that Jing Zhe had taught her, so she could calculate very quickly. Before closing time, she had already finished calculating almost everything.
When Zhou Ziqiong came downstairs, Wenxiangju had already closed for a little over fifteen minutes. The servants had already tidied up the hall and gone home.
"Xiaoyu".
Hearing the shout, Zhang Xiaoyu looked up and saw Zhou Ziqiong walking down the ladder, but her gait was a little strange, as if her legs were uncomfortable.
As someone who had been through it all, Zhang Xiaoyu understood instantly.
If an ordinary woman were to encounter a man as strong as her husband, it would be strange if her legs and feet weren't injured after the first time!
She immediately smiled and said, "Sixth Sister, congratulations!"
"..."
Zhou Ziqiong brushed her long hair back, looking somewhat shy.
In her view, Zhang Xiaoyu's congratulations were congratulations on her and Jing Zhe finally breaking through the barrier between their relationship and their future relationship.
Seeing that Zhou Ziqiong was too embarrassed to speak, Zhang Xiaoyu felt that this further confirmed her guess, so she asked, "Sixth Sister, where is your husband?"
"Oh, he's asleep."
"Asleep?"
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoyu was still somewhat surprised.
You have to understand that Jing Zhe's body is too strong. Not to mention Zhou Ziqiong alone, even if Zhang Xiaoyu, Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu and her apprentice were to join in, they would be the first to fall asleep after a battle, while Jing Zhe would be as if nothing had happened.
Looking Zhou Ziqiong up and down, he thought to himself that if Sixth Sister was only inconvenient with her legs, then she was really amazing!
Shocked, Zhang Xiaoyu began to complain, "My husband is so outrageous! What time is it, and he's still only thinking about sleeping!"
As she spoke, Zhang Xiaoyu stepped forward to help Zhou Ziqiong.
"Sixth Sister, don't go any further. Be careful not to aggravate your wound. We women are not like men, especially since this is your first time. How can you just walk around like this? If you ask me, since you've already done it, then Sixth Sister should just sleep with her husband. Why go downstairs again? Could it be that Sixth Sister is afraid Xiaoyu will gossip and wants to go back?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ziqiong's mouth gaped open and her eyes widened, clearly shocked by Zhang Xiaoyu's words.
"Xiaoyu, don't talk nonsense!"
"Sixth Sister, don't be shy! Although I'm younger than you, I've been through it all, I know all this!"
"What do you know!"
Zhou Ziqiong was both embarrassed and angry: "He drank too much and fell asleep after saying only a few words. I couldn't wake him up no matter what I did! Besides, I'm on my period, have you forgotten? What are you thinking?"
"..."
Yes, Zhou Ziqiong recently got her period, otherwise Jing Zhe wouldn't have had the inspiration to invent sanitary napkins!
But she became even more curious and pointed to Zhou Ziqiong's legs: "Why does Sixth Sister walk so strangely?"
Zhou Ziqiong pouted and said, "It's because I've been holding Zhe'er the whole time. His leg was on top of mine for so long that it's gone numb!"
"..."
Hearing this explanation, Zhang Xiaoyu thought about it and understood. She laughed and said, "I knew it! My husband is so tender-hearted, how could he let Sixth Sister leave!"
"What are you thinking about all day long!"
Zhou Ziqiong pointed at Zhang Xiaoyu and said speechlessly.
Zhang Xiaoyu didn't take it seriously and said, "Sixth Sister, it's so late, why are you going back? Stay here and sleep!"
Zhou Ziqiong shook her head and said, "Forget it, I'll go back and come back tomorrow morning!"
If Jing Zhe were awake, she wouldn't mind staying, but he's asleep now, and Zhou Ziqiong doesn't want to stay, afraid of the awkwardness.
"Alright, then wait a moment, Sixth Sister. I'll go to the newspaper office and get a few people to take Sixth Sister back! Otherwise, it'll be dangerous."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ziqiong quickly waved her hand, "No need, it's not far, why bother others? Besides, everyone in Ruzhou City knows me, how could there be any danger?"
Zhang Xiaoyu thought about it and agreed. She looked outside and saw that the full moon was very bright.
"Xiaoyu, don't bother seeing him off. You should go upstairs quickly. He's drunk quite a bit and might be thirsty later. Go and take care of him!"
"Okay, then Sixth Sister, go slow!"
"..."
...
When I opened my eyes, I still had a headache like after a hangover.
Jing Zhe sat up and realized that he was lying naked in a side room on the third floor of Wenxiangju. Next to him was Zhang Xiaoyu.
He remembered that he and Zhou Ziqiong had been drinking and chatting happily last night, but he couldn't recall what happened afterward.
It seems he has already confessed his feelings to Zhou Ziqiong, and Zhou Ziqiong has also confessed her feelings to him. Then he got drunk. However, he is not sure if he is dreaming. If the two of them really confessed their feelings to each other, why did Zhou Ziqiong leave?
Ugh, I should have known better than to drink so much.
Jing Zhe thought with some annoyance.
"My husband is awake?"
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoyu sat up, and while getting dressed, she said, "I'll go get my husband a bowl of porridge."
Jing Zhe grabbed her and asked, "Xiaoyu, where is Sixth Sister?"
"Sixth Sister is gone. She left last night after my husband got drunk."
"oh."
Hearing this, Jing Zhe felt somewhat disappointed and asked again, "Did Sixth Sister say anything before she left?"
"whee…"
Zhang Xiaoyu stared into Jing Zhe's eyes and chuckled twice, "Husband must have had too much to drink. He doesn't remember what he said to Sixth Sister yesterday, does he?"
Jing Zhe nodded.
"According to the order of arrival, I shouldn't even call you Sixth Sister anymore; instead, Sixth Sister should call me Sister!"
"..."
Although the words were difficult to pronounce, Jing Zhe still managed to glean something from them, feeling first delighted, then regretful.
"Ugh, I shouldn't have drunk so much, it's really messed things up!"
"My dear husband, it's really not a big deal if you drink too much, because even if you don't drink too much, nothing will happen."
"Um?"
After listening to Zhang Xiaoyu's explanation, Jing Zhe was somewhat surprised.
Then she continued, "Because Sixth Sister has started her period these past two days, does my husband think that something can happen between us at this time?"
"..."
Jing Zhe was taken aback at first, then remembered this.
My period was definitely going to be a major obstacle before marriage!
However, she said aloud, "Xiaoyu is overthinking it. Is my husband that kind of person?"
"..."
