Zhou Jing'an dismounted and looked at the carriage going away, sighing softly, "Where is he going? Can you tell me?"
Jiang Ling shook his head, looking at the carriage moving further and further away, as if he saw a concrete picture, walking towards the distance, alone, returning to Penglai or Utopia somewhere unknown. In short, the distance was his hometown, not this majestic, blood-stained imperial city.
"No matter where I am, it's my hometown," she said softly.
Zhou Jing'an took her hand and said, "I have instructed someone to watch over him silently along the way. He will definitely be able to come back to celebrate our child's full moon."
Jiang Ling raised her eyes and smiled, looking at him, "Well, he promised me. I wonder what gift he will bring back for our child."
Zhou Jing'an led her slowly towards the carriage.
"Or maybe let him teach the kids to dance? Don't let his dancing skills go to waste."
"Yes." Zhou Jing'an replied with a smile, "It's all good. If the child likes it, then he can be his disciple."
Jiang Ling raised the corner of his mouth, "You are quite open-minded."
She remembered that Wanran had said He Zui had not accepted his thank-you gift, so she asked, "Did Doctor He ask for any reward?"
Zhou Jing'an shook his head. "Doctor He didn't mention it, but I promised him that no matter when he wants it or what he wants, I will do it."
Jiang Ling smiled and nodded, "Well, that's good. Don't let Doctor He waste his efforts in vain."
"Are you still going to the palace?"
Zhou Jing'an shook his head, "The official business has been completed, I will accompany Ling'er back home."
Jiang Ling glanced at the sky and said with a smile, "Why don't you accompany me for a walk? I haven't been shopping for a long time."
The family lacked nothing; rouge, powder, jewelry, and clothes were all provided by others, so there was no need for her to go out and buy anything.
But isn’t shopping for the sake of shopping?
Zhou Jingan smiled and replied, "Okay."
The carriage stopped at Ronghua Street, and Jiang Ling was helped out by Zhou Jing'an.
Zhou Jing'an looked at the people on the street and frowned slightly.
"There are a lot of people, be careful not to bump into anyone."
Jiang Ling was also puzzled. "Is today a special day? Why are there so many people on the street?"
Lu Zhu, who had already inquired about it, came over and replied, "The Gold and Jade Shop has released many new jewelry and head ornaments today. They created a lot of hype a few days in advance, so they attracted many girls to come and see them today."
Jiang Ling raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Then I'll go take a look too."
When Zhou Jing'an saw her walking towards the crowd, he hurriedly followed her step by step, not leaving her side for a moment.
"If Ling'er likes anything, just take it."
He didn't know much about these jewelry and rouge, he just knew that if Jiang Ling liked it, he would buy it.
Jiang Ling looked back at him, her eyebrows curved and she smiled, "My husband is so generous. It seems that I have to choose something expensive."
There was a hint of teasing in her eyes, and her smile was bright with an upturned tone at the end of her voice, which really hooked Zhou Jingan's heart.
Zhou Jing'an coughed twice, looked at the people around him, and whispered, "There are a lot of people here, Ling'er, please stop bothering me."
Jiang Ling laughed heartily. She liked seeing him looking awkward and shy.
Zhou Jingan smiled helplessly, his eyes full of doting.
"Be careful."
He protected her as they walked into the store, where there were already quite a few people.
Jiang Ling walked around and gave the two hairpins and a set of head ornaments that she liked to Zhou Jing'an to pay for them, and waited for him on the side.
Zizhen supported her and said, "Madam, are you tired? Otherwise, let's go back to the carriage first. There are too many people here."
Although they were concerned about Zhou Jing'an and Jiang Ling's identities and didn't dare to get too close, it was still better to be careful. There were so many people around and it would be bad if they bumped into anything.
Jiang Ling nodded, "Okay, let's go out first."
She said hello to Zhou Jing'an, left him alone in line to pay, and went out.
Since she became pregnant, she seldom went out, so some ladies wanted to see her but couldn't. Now that they met her here, the enthusiastic ladies came up to greet her.
Don't hit a smiling person, so Jiang Ling spoke to them one by one with a smile.
However, as soon as she walked out of the gold and jade shop, she saw an acquaintance.
"Young Madam, isn't that Chang Shu?" Luzhu whispered in Jiang Ling's ear.
Jiang Ling looked up and saw a slim figure standing not far from their carriage.
When she turned around, she revealed a beautiful face.
If it’s not Chang Shu, then who else could it be?
Jiang Ling hasn't seen her since the last time he saw her at Chang's farm.
She took a closer look and said, "Looks like she's lost a lot of weight."
Not only has he lost weight, but his complexion also doesn't look very good.
His eyes were dull, his expression was indifferent, and there was a hint of grayness in his eyes.
Jiang Ling lowered her eyes and asked, "What has she been doing recently?"
How did you get yourself into this state?
She was clearly radiant at the last Spring Festival Banquet, but it hasn't been long since then and she looks so haggard.
Spring feast......
Jiang Ling was slightly stunned. She seemed to have not yet asked why the fire started that day.
Chang Shu also saw her from a distance, but did not come over, just looked at her from a distance.
His eyes were indifferent and expressionless, like a pool of stagnant water. There was no emotion at all.
Jiang Ling frowned, feeling something was wrong.
Last time at the Spring Appreciation Banquet, although Chang Shu appeared to be polite to her and showed no dissatisfaction or jealousy, she could clearly see that there was a hint of arrogance and unwillingness in Chang Shu's eyes.
She could understand it, after all, she had liked Zhou Jing'an for so long, so she would definitely feel unwilling.
But when I saw her again today, why was it like this?
At this time, Zhou Jing'an had already paid the money and came out, "Ling'er, let's get on the carriage first."
