Chapter 854 Call Me Pianpian
As soon as Jiang Jinyan entered the study, a woman in red followed him in and hugged him tightly.
Jiang Jinyan was startled, and when he saw her face clearly, he turned pale with fright: "How did you get in?"
Sang Yupian smiled and said, "It is indeed not easy to enter your Jiang residence, but I lived in the Jiang family for a period of time before, and the steward and the gatekeeper knew me, so they let me in."
Jiang Jinyan asked, "Why did the guards let you in? Why didn't they report it?"
“I know that girl. She’s from Xiangya Building. I told her I was looking for Young Master Jiang and asked her not to make a fuss,” Sang Yupianpian said ambiguously.
Jiang Jinyan pushed her aside and lit the candles on the table, instantly illuminating the room. He said, "Your Majesty, you must have come so late!"
Sang Yupian knew that Jiang Jinyan was an awkward person. He was clearly in love with her, but he was pretending. She leaned against the soft couch next to her and said, "Didn't you ask me to find out where the Northern Xiao Kingdom was hiding in Shengjing City?"
Jiang Jinyan said, "The Empress knows."
“Call me Pianpian,” she said.
Jiang Jinyan paused, thinking of what his father had told him, and said, "Your Majesty, please don't make things difficult for me. I am your subject, and Your Majesty is your sovereign. I cannot be disrespectful to Your Majesty."
“You are a subject of your Great Zhou Kingdom, and I am the ruler of the Chaoxi Kingdom. There is no relationship between us as ruler and subject.”
Jiang Jinyan fell silent.
Sang Yu, with her alluring eyes and a slight curve to her red lips, exuding an air of nobility, said calmly, "Empress Jiang has left the palace, hasn't she?"
Jiang Jinyan asked in confusion, "How do you know? Ruan Ruan left the palace in secret."
“I know, and others naturally know as well, that the Great Zhou Kingdom has always been under the surveillance of the Northern Xiao Kingdom,” Sang Yupianpian added.
Jiang Jinyan turned to leave, but Sang Yupianpian stopped him. "Where are you going?"
"Of course, I'm going to find Ruan Ruan." She left with Xiao Yu, and he doesn't know if she returned to the palace. Even Sang Yu Pianpian knows that Ruan Ruan is outside the palace, so Xiao Shang must know as well.
“I will go with you.” Sang Yu Pianpian originally intended to have her subordinates inform Jiang Jinyan at the Jiang residence, but she also wanted to see him in person.
Just as the two stepped out, Zhang Yumo suddenly appeared at the study door. She didn't recognize Sang Yupianpian, but thought the woman in front of her was very beautiful, with piercing eyes and an air of nobility.
Zhang Yumo thought to herself: So Jiang Jinyan left in a hurry to see another woman. Her maid saw a girl come to Jiang Jinyan's study. This girl entered the Jiang mansion so easily. What is her relationship with Jiang Jinyan?
The Jiang family seemed to have no defenses against her.
She walked calmly to Jiang Jinyan, a faint smile on her lips, and said gently, "Husband, are you going out?"
Jiang Jinyan suddenly felt a little nervous and said calmly, "I went out to take care of some business. What brings you here?"
Zhang Yumo carried a food box in her hand. "My husband drank too much in the palace today, so I specially made a late-night snack to warm his stomach. Please have some before you leave!"
Jiang Jinyan was thinking about going to find Jiang Fenghua, but said, "No need, I'm not hungry."
In front of Sang Yupianpian, Zhang Yumo wanted to show that she was Madam Jiang. "Husband's clothes are all wrinkled. Mo'er, please help husband change into some clean clothes before going out! It won't look good for husband to go out like this."
Jiang Jinyan knelt on the washboard for a long time. In addition, he had indeed drunk alcohol today. Although he was not drunk, his whole body smelled of alcohol.
Sang Yupian could easily see that Zhang Yumo was asserting her sovereignty as Madam Jiang. She smiled and said, "I didn't expect that when I saw Miss Zhang again, you were already married to Jin Yan."
Zhang Yumo had no recollection of her and said gently, "I'm sorry, I injured my head for a period of time and lost some of my memories. Have we met before?"
Sang Yupianpian was somewhat surprised. "My name is Sang Yupianpian. I am a friend of Jiang Jinyan and also a friend of the Jiang family."
She and Zhang Yumo only met once and could not be considered friends. She knew that Zhang Yumo had been infatuated with Jiang Jinyan for many years, but Jiang Jinyan actually had no feelings for her.
"Greetings, beautiful lady. You must have come to see my husband for something! I've made some late-night snacks. If you don't mind, please have some with me! Try my cooking."
Zhang Yumo's cooking skills were naturally excellent. She had also figured it out, and that trying her best to win Jiang Jinyan's heart and live with him was what she should do.
Besides Jiang Jinyan, she had no one else to rely on; at least he was the man she genuinely wanted to marry.
Jiang Jinyan was extremely embarrassed, "Woman..."
Before he could speak, Sang Yupianpian stopped him, saying, "I really am hungry, so I'll gladly accept your offer."
Zhang Yumo carried the food box into the study, took out a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and then brought out a full pot of chicken porridge and two refreshing side dishes.
“I only prepared two sets of bowls and chopsticks, thinking that I would eat a little with my husband. If Miss Pianpian doesn’t mind, please use my bowl!” Zhang Yumo said gently.
Sang Yupian didn't stand on ceremony and said, "Okay." But she didn't touch her chopsticks; she wasn't used to using other people's things.
Zhang Yumo has already declared it to be hers, indicating that she doesn't want others to use her things.
Jiang Jinyan stood motionless by the door. Zhang Yumo took his arm and said affectionately, "Mo'er, help your husband change his clothes first before we eat!"
She pulled Jiang Jinyan into the inner lounge, where there was a bed and blankets. Jiang Jinyan had also brought his clothes.
A moment later, Zhang Yumo's charming voice came from inside, "My husband's belt is worn out, let Mo'er embroider a new one for him!"
Jiang Jinyan was absent-minded, and he had no reason to refuse. "Thank you."
“We are husband and wife, and we’ve been married for so long, yet you’re still so polite, my husband.” She said gently, “This dress was made by Mo’er for you, wasn’t it? You look so handsome in it.”
Jiang Jinyan's clothes were all made by his mother. Later, after he married Zhang Yumo, Zhang Yumo sewed clothes for him. Even when Jiang Ruxiang wanted to send him a few clothes, Zhang Yumo wouldn't let her, as she wanted to sew his clothes herself.
Jiang Jinyan felt guilty thinking about how devoted Zhang Yumo was to him. "It was you who sewed it before. Thank you, Mo'er."
"Why do you keep saying thank you, my husband? These are all things that Mo'er should do." Zhang Yumo added, "Take off your inner garments too! You smell of alcohol. How much have you drunk, my husband?"
Sang Yu Pianpian listened to their conversation from outside, and suddenly felt a pang of sadness in her heart. She and Jiang Jinyan were destined to be different people. She had to return to Chaoxi Kingdom to be her empress. Her subjects needed her.
Jiang Jinyan already has a wife.
She smelled the chicken porridge on the table; it looked and smelled delicious, it must be very tasty!
However, she couldn't cook. From a young age, she only needed to learn one thing: how to be an empress, not how to be a good wife.
Sang Yupianpian suddenly left the study.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Jinyan dressed himself neatly and came out from the inner room, only to find that Sang Yupianpian had disappeared.
He looked at the untouched bowls and chopsticks on the table, and his mood suddenly became heavy.
Zhang Yumo stared at Jiang Jinyan's disappointed face and pretended to ask, "Where is Miss Pianpian?"
