Chapter 16: Mo Jin is pretty good in that aspect
"I..." Su Luo started, her voice hoarse from the sweat. After realizing that her voice was not right, she lowered her voice and said, "I have gone to bed. If you want to take the jade pendant, please come back tomorrow."
Zhou Yan thought Su Luo would happily get up and put on her clothes, and try her best to get him to stay overnight, but he didn't expect... this is her attitude?
Huh? Playing hard to get, huh? Too bad he won't take the bait!
Zhou Yan even seemed to be avoiding suspicion, and suddenly felt a little angry: "Yes, it's getting late, I still won't go in, come back tomorrow!"
He took a step back and turned to leave: "This prince is leaving."
"This prince is really leaving."
“…” Su Luo smiled speechlessly.
Zhou Yan walked to the gate of the courtyard and looked back before shaking his head and leaving, thinking that Su Luo's playing hard to get was too much.
inside the house.
Mo Jin looked at the soft bed and for some reason, he lay down on it and felt unprecedentedly relaxed.
It’s probably because this bed is too comfortable.
Su Luo went to take a shower and changed into a dry and light underwear. When she came back, she didn't expect Mo Jin to still be there. He had even fallen asleep in the soft tent, with one of his long legs hanging on the edge of the bed and the other hanging on the ground. It seemed like he was just lying down and fell asleep.
Afterwards, most people want to have a good night's sleep.
Mo Jin is no exception.
Su Luo picked up the aromatherapy jade bottle in front of the dressing mirror and waved it between her armpits, wrists, and legs. She used the Gardenia Calming Incense, lying next to Mo Jin, which could help him sleep and also put others into a deep sleep.
She quietly and tiptoed around Mo Jin and climbed onto the bed. She saw that even when he was asleep, Mo Jin always had a frown on his face, as if he had endless worries.
For some reason, she had the courage to put his head on her lap and gently massage him.
Pinch the solar plexus.
The next day dawned.
Mo Jin felt something fragrant and soft on his forehead. When he looked, it turned out to be the woman's snow-white fingertips. He was startled and subconsciously wanted to push her away, but he calmed down and looked around clearly.
He actually stayed overnight at...the Marquis' Mansion.
Everyone says she has a slender waist and a soul-stealing sword. Oh, it’s true.
What a capable guy! He actually let him stay overnight.
Presumably, she had been massaging his head all night. At this moment, the woman's sleeping face was well-behaved and beautiful, leaning lightly against the bed wall. She had removed her makeup and hairpins and jewelry, and was only wearing an inner garment as thin as smoke, which made her look even more beautiful and clear, like a lotus in water, with natural beauty.
Ha. Mo Jin raised his hand and slapped her on the forehead.
Su Luo opened her eyes in pain and glared at Mo Jin. After seeing him clearly, she quickly put away her bad temper and put on a well-behaved look, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"
Mo Jin didn't say a word, pushed open the window, and jumped out.
Chen Song and Gu Ying, who were sleeping on the roof, also followed.
"What a strange person! He woke me up and left without telling me what to do. Why did he disturb my sleep if he was leaving?" Su Luo laughed angrily. Looking at the dark circles under her eyes in the bronze mirror, she said angrily, "Does he know how tiring it is to serve him?"
If Mo Jin wasn't so valuable, why would she serve him so docilely and diligently?
She had woken up from her sleepiness and was no longer sleepy. She couldn't fall asleep anyway.
Today is the seventh day of marriage, which happens to be the return banquet.
In the previous life, at the returning home banquet, Li Jiaojiao delayed Zhou Yan on the pretext of having a high fever and caught a cold, and did not accompany Su Luo back home. As a result, Su Luo was ridiculed by her relatives from her natal family, who said that although she married into a high-ranking family, she was not favored and would be divorced sooner or later.
so……
In this life, even if Zhou Yan did not follow her back home, Su Luo had her own plans to deal with those gossiping relatives.
"Young Madam, the return gifts are all packed. Please check them." The housekeeper walked out the door, bowed slightly and said with a smile.
I saw that the carriage was carrying three large boxes, which were filled with valuable gadgets that were popular in the capital.
Before they got the Su family's property, her parents-in-law had always been willing to spend a lot of money.
A smile flashed across Su Luo's lips, and she accepted it all.
Yun Ran saw that no one had come out of the Marquis' Mansion yet, and she couldn't help but frown and asked, "Is the prince not coming? Should we wait any longer? If we are late, we will miss the auspicious time."
"No more waiting." Su Luo closed her eyes and rested calmly, "Let's go."
The next moment, Zhou Yan walked out of the Marquis' Mansion.
Zhou Yan was handsome and dignified, never lingering in the streets of prostitution. He was considered the ideal lover among the ladies of noble families. Today, he was dressed formally, wearing a tan double-breasted robe with a mandarin duck and cloud pattern, and a white jade necklace with tassels tied around his waist. He looked at the carriage that was about to move forward and frowned, "You won't wait for me?"
Next moment...
Shaoyao came over in a hurry, almost crying, "Oh no, Master, our daughter caught a cold last night and has a high fever today. Please go and see her..."
Su Luo lifted the car curtain and smiled knowingly. She knew Zhou Yan would not accompany her back home, so she said generously, "That's fine. I can go back home alone. My Lord, go ahead."
At that moment, Zhou Yan really felt that Su Luo was too sensible.
Unlike Jiaojiao, who was in a hurry to give birth on the day of her wedding, and then had a high fever in time for the return banquet, and most importantly, no one knew whether what she said was true or not...
On the day when my cousin’s wife came back to visit her parents, my cousin asked my cousin to go and see her. What’s going on?
After what happened at the blacksmith shop last time, Zhou Yan naturally still had to save face. Before giving Jiaojiao a formal status, he still had to avoid suspicion. He just said, "I'm not a doctor. Why are you looking for me? If you're sick, you should see a doctor."
Shaoyao couldn't believe what she heard!
The prince has always been responsive to the young lady, so why is it so… Shaoyao was shocked, but she mustered up the courage to persuade him again: "The young lady said that only if you go, she will feel better."
"Are you kidding? I'm not a panacea." Zhou Yan deliberately avoided suspicion. "If she gets better after I go, it only means that her illness is not serious enough."
Shaoyao's heart was filled with emotions, so she had no choice but to nod and hurried to the other courtyard to reply.
Hearing footsteps outside the courtyard, Li Jiaojiao hurriedly wiped the dragon beard cake from the corner of her lips, ran to the couch and lay down, took out the rouge under the pillow, deliberately made her face paler, sprinkled some water on her face, pretended to have a high fever and sweat, and moved
Qing choked weakly and said, "Cousin...cousin...are you here?"
However!
Only Shaoyao came back!
Li Jiaojiao looked behind her, but there was no trace of Zhou Yan at all!
"Where is the prince?" Li Jiaojiao suddenly sat up from the bed.
"The prince... the prince is accompanying the young lady back home."
"Didn't you tell me I was sick? Seriously sick? Near death?"
"I've said it." Shaoyao was speechless and sighed.
"What did the young master say?" Li Jiaojiao grabbed the mattress with a "swish" sound, her face darkening.
How could Shaoyao dare to repeat the prince's words? She could only stammer, "Nothing... nothing..."
"You stupid girl, how dare you hide it from me? Why don't you tell me the original words?" Li Jiaojiao was so angry that she twisted Shaoyao's ear and asked.
Shaoyao uttered a cry and had to tell him the original words: "The prince said..."
"Why did you ask him out? He's not a doctor!" Shaoyao gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and spit out the words bravely, "He said that if he came, you would be fine, which proves that your illness is not serious enough!"
"Pa!" Li Jiaojiao slapped Shaoyao hard, her blood rushing to the back of her head. She roared, "I didn't ask you to go into so much detail!"
