Chapter 116 The general is also arrogant, too precious (3000 words)

Jiang Youning, who was originally sleeping soundly, was a little breathless because Xie Jing held her tightly. In fact, Xie Jing did not use much strength, but she still felt that her chest was pressed.

So she had to wake up in the end.

She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the curtains inside the bed in a daze. Her eyes turned mechanically. When she saw the dark back of the head for a moment, she realized that she was held in Xie Jing's arms.

She suddenly widened her eyes, [Why did Xie Jing hold me in the middle of the night? ]

Jiang Youning just had a dream. In the dream, she returned to the modern era. When she saw her eldest brother for the first time, she was so excited that tears filled her eyes.

She threw herself into her eldest brother's arms, feeling so warm, but she woke up before she could even say a word.

So, the warmth she felt was actually Xie Jing's embrace?

Uh!

Xie Jing heard her inner thoughts and found that she was awake, so he let her go, lowered his eyes and looked at her delicate little face with tears on her cheeks in the weak candlelight.

"Are you scared awake?"

Jiang Youning blinked her beautiful almond eyes twice. Could she say that she was woken up by him?

"General, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Xie Jing said, "I heard you calling me, so I woke up."

Jiang Youning: "..." She expressed doubts, did she call Xie Jing?

Xie Jing stared at her for a long time, and finally his eyes fell on her forehead. He reached out his big hand and found that there was no sweat on her forehead. He was a little confused, but also relieved.

"Go to sleep."

"Oh." Jiang Youning moved her body and found that they were a little close to each other. At this time, she remembered that Xie Jing had just hugged her.

She didn't even ask Xie Jing why he hugged her?

Xie Jing lay down on the bed again.

Jiang Youning then lay down, looking at Xie Jing from the side, hesitating whether to ask.

Xie Jing noticed Jiang Youning's gaze and looked over. "What's wrong?"

Jiang Youning asked, "Why did you hug me just now?"

Xie Jing just acted out of instinct. Now that Jiang Youning asked, he naturally couldn't say anything.

Xie Jing said, "I saw you were cold."

Jiang Youning had a lot of question marks on her head. She didn't feel cold. There was a lot of charcoal burning in the room, and Xie Jing was like a big stove on the bed. She still felt a little hot.

She looked at Xie Jing doubtfully. He looked very decent and didn't seem to be lying.

Xie Jing's face, whether it was his facial features or his eyes, had nothing to do with a gangster. Instead, he had the appearance and demeanor of a gentleman.

Xie Jing saw that she was still staring at him, "Don't believe it?"

Jiang Youning shook her head, "It's not that I don't believe it, of course I believe what the general said."

Xie Jing said, "Then go to sleep."

"Oh." Jiang Youning retracted her gaze and closed her eyes. Although she was still confused in her heart, she couldn't resist the sleepiness of the night and fell asleep soon after closing her eyes.

It was the eighth day of the first lunar month, and the sun was shining brightly.

Jiang Youning lay on a rattan chair in the sun, eating palace cakes, and watching the snowman melt little by little under the sun.

I thought that the snowman that Xie Jing spent a lot of time to build would be turned into nothing as soon as the sun came out.

Yuanbao finished his work and came over, looking at Jiang Youning lying on the rattan chair, crossing his legs, leisurely and contented.

"Miss."

Jiang Youning looked up and saw Yuanbao standing beside the rattan chair. "What's up?"

Yuanbao asked, "Miss, do you want to eat a rabbit? That rabbit is very fat."

Jiang Youning paused and remembered that there was still a rabbit that she hadn't eaten. She was hungry, so why not roast it?

"We'll have roasted rabbit for lunch today."

Yuanbao raised his eyebrows. "Okay, I'll go prepare it now."

Yuanbao turned around and strode towards the backyard.

Chuntao came over and looked at Yuanbao who was walking away. She exclaimed, "Didn't Yuanbao say that he was born not to like to laugh? Wasn't he smiling just now? Am I dazzled again?"

Jiang Youning looked up and said, "Who said Yuanbao was born not to like to laugh? Yuanbao looks very good when he laughs."

Chuntao was even more confused, "But I asked Yuanbao, and he said he was born not to like to laugh."

Jiang Youning smiled and said, "Maybe Yuanbao is shy?"

Chuntao could only believe it because she couldn't find any other reason.

Xiao Yu was very busy recently. As soon as he was free, he heard that Jiang Youning was kidnapped, so he came to visit her with supplements.

For convenience, he didn't go through the main gate, but directly climbed over the courtyard wall.

It was not the first time that the guards saw the young master climbing over the wall, so they were not surprised.

As soon as Xiao Yu arrived at Lingxi Courtyard, he smelled the aroma of roasted rabbit. He smiled happily, "I came at the right time."

He saw Jiang Youning lying on the recliner at a glance, and strode over, "Ning'er."

Jiang Youning turned her head when she heard the familiar voice, and saw Xiao Yu walking towards her with a lot of bags.

"I just heard that you were kidnapped, so I came to see you. Are you okay?"

Jiang Youning sat up and stretched, "I'm fine."

Xiao Yu said, "Don't be so stubborn. I heard from the emperor that you have been lying in bed for several days without getting out of bed."

Jiang Youning: "..." What you said is easy to make people think wrongly, okay?

Xiao Yu put the supplements aside, "I heard that the emperor gave you all the hundred-year-old ginseng, and you don't even look down on my supplements."

Jiang Youning asked, "Is that ginseng valuable?"

Xiao Yu looked at Jiang Youning, as if he was looking at a child who didn't know anything.

"You don't know this, right? Ginseng is easy to get, but ginseng that is over a hundred years old is not easy to get. That ginseng is two hundred years old, and it was a treasure offered as a tribute during the reign of the late emperor. Do you think it's valuable?"

Jiang Youning nodded vigorously, "Yes, it's very valuable."

If the late emperor was still alive, he would probably jump out of his grave if he heard these two children commenting on ginseng.

As Xiao Yu smelled the increasingly fragrant aroma, he knew that the rabbit was almost ready. He looked at Jiang Youning with a smile, "It smells so good. Do you want to have roasted rabbit for lunch?"

Jiang Youning looked at Xiao Yu and always felt that he came on a special day, and once he came, he would never go back with an empty stomach.

"You came at the right time. We'll have roasted rabbit for lunch."

Xiao Yu smiled and glanced around the yard. He didn't see Xie Jing. "Is Brother Xie busy again? You've been through such a disaster. How can I spend more time with you?"

"..." Jiang Youning: "I'm not a child. The general is busy with business every day. Business is the most important thing."

Xiao Yu couldn't help but look at Jiang Youning a few more times. "No wonder Brother Xie likes you. Who wouldn't like such a considerate and virtuous wife?"

Jiang Youning felt a little embarrassed when she heard that. What kind of virtuous wife is she?

For lunch, Xiao Yu brought peach blossom wine.

Jiang Youning had a special taste while eating the roasted rabbit and drinking peach blossom wine.

Every time Lingxi Courtyard roasted something to eat, the other courtyards were very greedy.

"Didn't they say that Madam's illness hasn't healed yet? Why

is she still eating roasted food?" "Who knows? Maybe she's just recovered?"

"Then you can't eat too greasy food."

Nan Mianmian just walked to the corner and heard the four beauties talking.

She looked towards Lingxi Courtyard. Where did Jiang Youning get the rabbit from? The smell was clearly the smell of roasted rabbit.

She had eaten roasted rabbit last time and she would not forget it.

If Xie Jing hadn't said that Jiang Youning was recuperating and not to be disturbed, she would have gone to eat no matter what.

During the time when Jiang Youning recovered, the old lady also came to see her.

Because she was going to take Jiang Youning to Bailin Temple to burn incense, it would be better if they didn't encounter robbers.

Fortunately, Jiang Youning was fine, otherwise she would feel guilty.

The old lady didn't stay long and returned to Jingyou Courtyard.

As soon as she returned to Jingyou Courtyard, the housekeeper came to report, "Madam, Madam Du is here."

When the old lady heard that Madam Du was coming, she said, "Please invite her in."

"Yes." The housekeeper went out for a while and brought Madam Du in.

The old lady came forward and said, "Madam Du, please sit down."

The two of them sat down one after another with smiles on their faces.

The old lady had met Madam Du twice and knew each other. She had also thought about getting married before.

"Mrs. Rong, please make some tea."

Mother Rong went down to make some tea neatly.

The old lady smiled and asked, "How come you have time to come here, Madam Du?"

Madam Du smiled and said, "I haven't come to see my sister since Huilan married into the general's mansion. I was very busy in the first month of the year, and I only got around to it these two days, so I hurried to visit my sister."

The old lady also smiled and said, "I'm sorry to have worried Madam Du."

Mother Rong came in with tea, placed it in front of the old lady and Madam Du respectively, and then stepped aside.

The old lady warmly entertained her, "Madam Du, have some tea."

Madam Du smiled and nodded, picked up the teacup, but did not rush to drink it. She looked up at the old lady, "Sister, we are a family now. Today, I will say what I want to say straight to the point. Please don't be offended, sister."

The old lady smiled and said, "Madam Du, what you are talking about is not important. Just say whatever you want to say."

Madam Du took two sips of tea before saying, "Huilan has been married into the general's mansion for some time, and there has been no news. As a mother, I am a little anxious. I thought Huilan was weak, so I asked the doctor to see her while she was back home and to make sure she got better health. The doctor said Huilan was in good health, and I was wondering, if she was in good health, why didn't she get pregnant?"

As the old lady listened, she guessed the purpose of Madam Du's visit. She did not speak, but waited quietly for Madam Du to continue.

Madam Du looked at the old lady and continued, "Sister, you must be anxious to have a grandson. I've been through this before and I understand what's in your mind. Sister is also a reasonable person and doesn't doubt Huilan just because she's not pregnant."

The old lady said, "Madam Du, you're too serious."

Madam Du coughed twice, "After I asked her repeatedly, Huilan finally told the truth. She said that the general had never been to her room. How could she be pregnant without consummating the marriage? Sister, don't you agree?"

The old lady said "Mrs. Du is right. If you want to be happy, you should consummate the marriage first."

Mrs. Du sighed, "Sister, when my Huilan was still unmarried, the young men who came to ask for marriage had broken down the doorstep, but my silly daughter liked the general. I thought, being a co-wife is a co-wife, as long as the general treats Huilan well, it doesn't matter."

The old lady drank her tea calmly. Jing'er had made it clear in advance. What can Huilan do if she wants to get married? Mrs.

Du changed the subject, "But no matter how busy the general is, he doesn't have time to consummate the marriage? Outsiders don't know, and they think my Huilan is not in good health. After such a long time of marriage, her belly is still not moving. Sister is also a woman, you should understand the pain."
