Seeing Jiang Li's puzzled expression, Qing Zhu continued, "Fortunately, I reacted in time and took the young lady away in the chaos. Otherwise, if others saw the young lady being so intimate with a man, there would be a big misunderstanding!"

Qingzhu bent over, supported his thighs with his hands, and his face was full of expression that showed he was thankful for my cleverness.

If it was in the past, she would definitely not come forward to disturb her, hoping that the young lady could find her ideal husband as soon as possible! But now it is different, the young lady is already married, if that scene just now was seen by too many people and some rumors against the young lady were spread, then it would be a big deal!

Jiang Li knew Qingzhu's concerns and did not explain much. After resting for a while, she continued to walk towards the general's mansion with Qingzhu.

The south of the city was not far from the general's mansion. The two talked and laughed on the way and soon returned to the mansion.

Mrs. Zhou had no time to take care of Jiang Li these past two days because of Zhou Qingyun and her precious grandson's affairs. She didn't even know that Jiang Li was not at home for a day.

"When we get back to Nanyuan later, I'll boil some hot water for you. I'm afraid your feet must be exhausted after walking for so long, right?"

After walking on the street for so long, Jiang Li's feet were really sore. She put her arm on Qing Zhu's shoulder and looked down at Qing Zhu, who was half a head shorter than her: "You are really considerate."

Qingzhu chuckled: "Today, I followed Madam and learned from her. I will try to make some cakes for Miss when I return home!"

On the way back to Nanyuan, the two met an uninvited guest, and the smiles on their faces disappeared instantly.

"General."

Qingzhu bowed towards Zhou Qingyuan.

Zhou Qingyuan ignored Qingzhu and stared at Jiang Li. Jiang Li looked at him without changing her expression. Finally, Zhou Qingyuan gave in and looked away.

"What's up?"

Jiang Li spoke up, breaking the weird atmosphere.

This road is the only way to Nanyuan. Since the two of them met here, it was obvious that Zhou Qingyuan was waiting for Jiang Li.

Zhou Qingyuan looked at Jiang Li with some suspicion, unable to believe that this was the tone Jiang Li used to speak to him.

Ever since she married into the general's mansion, Jiang Li had always been shy and infatuated with Zhou Qingyuan every time she saw him. Now that her attitude had suddenly changed, Zhou Qingyuan was a little uncomfortable for a moment.

"There are guests in Bamboo Garden. You should be quiet these days and don't go too close to Bamboo Garden and offend the guests."

Bamboo Garden?

Jiang Li's eyes flickered. The only guest who could make Zhou Qingyuan wait here to give instructions was probably Emperor Chu Shen Tingsi, right? "Got it."

Jiang Li readily agreed and continued to walk forward. Qingzhu, who was bowing, saw Jiang Li and quickly stood up and followed.

When the master and servant came to Zhou Qingyuan, Zhou Qingyuan did not move aside and blocked their way.

"Anything else?"

Jiang Li raised her eyes and looked at Zhou Qingyuan, with a hint of alienation in her eyes.

“No, no more.”

Zhou Qingyuan was stunned by Jiang Li's repeated abnormal behavior. As he spoke, he moved sideways to make way for the narrow bluestone road.

Jiang Li just brushed past Zhou Qingyuan without even glancing at her.

Zhou Qingyuan turned his head and looked at Jiang Li's back suspiciously. For a moment he was confused about what tricks she was playing.

He saw clearly the alienation in Jiang Li's eyes just now. This was the first time he saw such a look in Jiang Li's eyes since they got married.

Playing hard to get?

This word suddenly popped up in Zhou Qingyuan's mind.

Thinking of this possibility, Zhou Qingyuan's face suddenly darkened.

He looked at Jiang Li's back and snorted coldly, a hint of deep disgust flashed in his eyes. After Jiang Li's figure disappeared from his sight, he turned around and left.

If His Majesty had not been staying here temporarily, he would never have set foot in this place! "General, General, something terrible has happened!"
