Chapter 76 Su Tingwan Has Completely Changed
Her long eyelashes, like cicada wings, rested on her almond-shaped eyes, which were as clear as autumn water, containing gentleness and innocence.
Xie Shang couldn't help but cup her face, wanting to kiss her, but then he remembered what Physician Mei had said, so he restrained himself and pulled her hand, running towards the lake.
Jiang Fenghua was suddenly pulled away by him, panting heavily. When they arrived at the lakeside, far from the hustle and bustle, it became very peaceful and beautiful.
She smiled and said, "I like it here."
Xie Shang put his arm around her waist and quietly put a necklace around her neck.
Jiang Fenghua was startled. She touched it with her hand and found it was a piece of jade. She asked, "What is this?"
He leaned close to her ear and whispered gently, "This is a gift for you."
“But Your Highness has already given me many gifts today.” Jiang Fenghua didn’t know when he had bought them.
“This is different,” he added. “This thing is one of a kind in the world.”
Jiang Fenghua glanced at it and was sure she didn't recognize what it was. It was shaped like a small, delicate rabbit lying down, and it was made of high-quality jade, so it was obviously an extraordinary object.
She held it happily in her palm, her eyes filled with joy, looking extremely treasuring it. A woman should never refuse a man's flattery; if you refuse once, there won't be a next time. Her voice was barely audible, "I really like this gift, thank you, my husband." This was what Xie Shang wanted to hear, so she granted his wish.
Xie Shang was stunned, seemingly extremely satisfied, while Jiang Fenghua's face was full of joy. "Ruan Ruan, what did you call me?"
Just then, a series of crackling sounds exploded in the night sky, breaking the surrounding tranquility. Fireworks burst forth in the night sky, colorful and radiant.
Jiang Fenghua pointed to the night sky, her eyes filled with joy, "Your Highness, look! The fireworks are everywhere, so beautiful!"
Xie Shang glanced across the lake and saw Lin Feng and the others waving at them.
Xie Shang gave Lin Feng a thumbs up, this month's salary has doubled.
Lin Feng received the order and worked even harder. The prince had spent the whole evening shopping with the princess, so he naturally had to know how to create a pleasant atmosphere for them. This was a skill that every guard had to learn, otherwise he would easily fall out of favor.
Hongxiu and Lianye suddenly felt a little sad. Such dazzling fireworks, such a romantic scene, if the prince only liked the young lady, he should be able to move her. It's just a pity that the prince likes more than one woman.
The young lady will never open her heart to the prince.
Xie Shang asked, "If I were to do something that might worsen our conditions, would you agree?"
Jiang Fenghua was stunned...
The next moment, Xie Shang cupped her face in his hands and kissed her lips, then quickly pulled away like a dragonfly skimming the water. Her face flushed red instantly.
She thought they would embrace and kiss passionately, but he only lightly touched her lips. At that moment, she felt her blood freeze and her heart pound.
Seeing her blush, he teased her again, "What were you thinking about just now?"
"What Your Highness is thinking is exactly what I'm thinking." She said shyly.
He raised the corners of his lips slightly, a carefree smile on his face, and said with feigned composure, "I was thinking of taking you to see a play. I used to go often, and it's very interesting."
"Watching a show?" She opened her eyes wide in surprise. Wasn't he going to kiss her?
The Xie Shang before her was noble yet warm, dignified yet aloof. At this moment, she seemed to have forgotten to breathe, as if the world had stood still.
She thought: If it were any other woman, she would be moved by what he did today, and even fall for his tenderness.
Su Tingwan was also pampered by him in this way. If Su Tingwan knew that Xie Shang had also taken her to the theater, she would go crazy!
Afterwards, Xie Shang took her to see a play. They didn't leave the theater until the early hours of the morning, but the place was brightly lit, like daytime, and bustling with people.
Jiang Fenghua knew that Su Tingwan was hiding in the shadows again. She deliberately moved closer to Xie Shang, took his arm, and leaned in to talk about the play they had seen that night. "I never knew that plays could be performed like this. It was so funny and hilarious that I almost laughed my stomach off."
Xie Shang said gently, "If you like it, I'll bring you again next time."
"Yes, I like it very much. I like being with Your Highness as long as I'm happy." She took the initiative to hug his waist and act coquettishly.
Xie Shang couldn't help but kiss her cheek again, then picked her up and carried her to the carriage.
Su Tingwan watched from the shadows as Xie Shang doted on Jiang Fenghua. He brought her to their theater, and her heart ached terribly. How could he bring another woman to the theater? She didn't even dare to show her face so that anyone could see her disheveled state.
She knew that even during the two years she and Xie Shang were together, although he said he liked her, he had never treated her so gently. She couldn't help but wonder if Xie Shang had ever really liked her.
If you like her, why are you unwilling to touch her? If you don't like her, why did you agree to marry her?
She clenched her fists, seething with resentment: Xie Shang, you betrayed me.
She thought: Xie Shang has been completely taken over by Jiang Fenghua, and now her aunt has been banished to the cold palace. Yun Fang has also disappeared. She can't even find anyone to talk to.
She was very clear that her aunt must have been framed by Jiang Fenghua, and she was determined to expose Jiang Fenghua's true colors. Her priority now was to find Yunfang.
She was filled with hatred and determined to make Jiang Fenghua wish she were dead.
Su Tingwan turned around and went back to General Su's mansion in the south of the city.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Jiang Fenghua and Xie Shang got into the carriage together. She nestled in his arms, while Xie Shang seemed tired and closed his eyes to rest.
Through the curtain, Jiang Fenghua seemed to see the figure angrily leaving in the darkness.
Jiang Fenghua was completely unconcerned about Su Tingwan's anger.
She thought: Su Tingwan has now forgotten that she forced Xie Shang to marry her at the Earth God Temple, and that she entered the Heng Prince's Mansion without even a bridal sedan chair. Su Tingwan is even too lazy to offer her a cup of tea as the mistress of the house.
Back then, she walked up to her, asserting her dominance and showing off, saying that she was already married to Xie Shang, that she was Xie Shang's wife, and that Xie Shang only loved her, Su Tingwan.
Her actions have never taken me, Jiang Fenghua, her legal wife, seriously.
So these were just her counterattacks to protect herself; there was no right or wrong, only victory or defeat.
Upon returning to the Prince's residence, Xie Shang went directly to Lan Yue Pavilion with Jiang Fenghua.
The next morning, Xie Shang did not go to the yamen. When he woke up, it was already bright daylight. He looked at the sleeping woman in his arms, her skin as white as mutton fat jade, which was faintly visible in her silk nightgown.
They came home very late last night, took a shower and went to sleep. Perhaps they were too tired, because they slept soundly until dawn.
He suddenly grabbed her waist, his fingertips slowly rubbing her lower abdomen. Her waist was slender and firm, and Jiang Fenghua couldn't help but groan in her sleep. She pushed his hand away, turned over, and continued to sleep with her back to him.
