Qingluo was unsure how to answer Lady Jing'an's question. She stammered and finally forced herself to come up with an excuse to get through it.
"...It's nothing. The young master and his wife went to bed late last night. They were too busy and may have caught a chill, so they didn't come over today."
Like Green Luo, Qingluo is indeed a highly regarded maidservant of Jiang Xuelin, and she knows exactly how to speak properly.
I was too busy, so I went to bed a little late.
It's just that they're not busy with anything serious, but being busy is still being busy, right? So you can't say it's wrong.
Did you catch a cold? Your throat is a little hoarse, so it's possible you caught a cold, but that's just a possibility.
However, Lady Jing'an was unaware of this. She knew a few of Jiang Xuelin's maids, but not particularly well, so she didn't suspect anything. "Busy with the things from a few days ago? She did a very good job this time. All the women in the world will be grateful to her."
Lady Jing'an sighed with emotion when she mentioned this.
People knew about the cruelty of women who had shaved their heads, but no one had ever spoken of it. So she really felt that her daughter and son-in-law had done the right thing this time, even though it seemed to have caused quite a bit of trouble, leading to a debate among scholars all over the world. But Lady Jing'an felt that if it was such a trouble, she, as their mother, was willing to take care of it and go to great lengths for them.
Because she is doing the right thing.
Qingluo: "..."
I reluctantly agreed.
...Let's just assume that what Lady Jing'an said is true _(:3ゝ∠)_ She can't tell the truth!
Knowing what Jiang Xuelin wanted to say to her, Lady Jing'an naturally had no objections. Moreover, even if Jiang Xuelin didn't say it, her people wouldn't clash with Jiang Xuelin or the people from the Prince of Ping's mansion.
She had long known that her son, Lin'er, would send people south to try to save more unfortunate women and prevent them from being abandoned because of her.
Not surprising.
As a mother, she always understands her own daughter.
After chatting with Qingluo, she asked her to pass on a message to Jiang Xuelin, and the Lady of Jing'an Marquis quickly released the person.
Qingluo finally breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the Marquis of Jing'an's residence and hurried back to the Prince of Ping's residence.
At this moment, neither Jiang Xuelin nor Fu Hanlai had woken up.
They were really exhausted after making so much noise last night.
It should be said that neither of them had been this tired in a long time, and this kind of tiredness was different from the exhaustion they had experienced before.
I really felt like my body had been hollowed out.
Around noon, Jiang Xuelin woke up hungry and finally got out of bed. She was in much better spirits than in the morning and called Qingluo in to help her get dressed and wash up.
"What time is it?"
"Replying to the Princess Consort, it's almost 9 AM." Qingluo answered Jiang Xuelin's question while helping her comb her hair. She could tell that the young lady was still a bit sleepy and didn't have the energy she usually did.
It's almost 9 AM already, no wonder I feel hungry.
"Have someone bring lunch over, and also some ginseng chicken soup."
She felt she needed to replenish her energy.
My legs still feel a little weak.
Tsk.
However, after learning that Fu Han's situation was even worse than hers, Jiang Xue said she felt relieved.
"Yes, I will have someone send it over shortly."
After washing up, Jiang Xuelin was still yawning. After finishing her lunch, she went to bed and decided to take a short nap.
However, before taking a nap, she woke Fu Hanlai up and made him get out of bed to eat. Jiang Xuelin then quickly fell asleep again.
Fu Hanlai didn't want to get up, but he was really hungry. After hesitating for a long time, he finally mustered up the courage to get up. He quickly tidied himself up and sat down at the table to eat. He ate a little something to fill his stomach and then hurried back to bed.
I really don't have much of an appetite.
He felt that he was probably too tired, which was why he didn't have much of an appetite. He just needed a light snack to stave off hunger, and he would deal with anything else after he had a good night's sleep.
I only went to sleep at dawn, and it's only been a little over two hours now, which is not enough at all!
After climbing into bed, looking at Jiang Xuelin sleeping soundly beside him, Fu Hanlai felt a surge of malice.
If it weren't for this girl chasing after him relentlessly, he wouldn't be so tired that he doesn't want to get out of bed now. Even getting out of bed feels like he's walking on clouds, and he feels a bit lightheaded!
But now this girl is sleeping peacefully here, as if nothing has happened to her.
This made him very unhappy, and he wanted to cause a scene.
Thinking this, Fu Hanlai did just that, reaching out and pinching Jiang Xuelin's nose.
Even with her breathing blocked, Jiang Xuelin didn't wake up; she just opened her mouth and strained her nose. Fu Hanlai could feel the nose he was holding struggling, as if it wanted to escape.
He's still not awake?
How soundly are you sleeping?
no!
I can't stand it.
Unable to bear it any longer, Fu Hanlai pushed Jiang Xuelin again.
Jiang Xuelin woke up groggily, but was too lazy to open her eyes. Fu Hanlai, however, seemed determined to keep going, as if he wouldn't stop until she woke up.
She tried to hold back, but finally couldn't resist. Frustrated, she opened her eyes and glared at him fiercely.
Seeing that he had finally woken Jiang Xuelin up, Fu Hanlai finally showed a satisfied smile.
—You're awake? Knowing you're awake lets me sleep better.
Seeing through Fu Hanlai's meaning, Jiang Xuelin was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She sneered and asked, "What's wrong? Do you want to make up for the rest now? It seems like you're still short two times. Now you have nine times and I have seven."
"No, if we calculate it this way, I should still need three more times to surpass you. Should we make up for it now?"
Fu Hanlai's hand, which was pushing Jiang Xuelin, froze in place.
Not only were his hands stiff, but he felt his whole body stiffen, including the listless and dispirited Xiao Ashou, who even felt a shiver.
Looking into Jiang Xuelin's clear, unwavering eyes, Fu Hanlai dared not gamble on whether Jiang Xuelin was bluffing him or genuinely wanted to make up for it now.
So, after regaining his senses, he coughed lightly, quickly pulled his hand back under the covers, and looked at Jiang Xuelin innocently, "Ugh, Jiang Xuelin, it's not good to indulge in debauchery during the day, so let's just forget about it."
"It's not that I'm afraid of you, it's just that it's daytime and not appropriate, so let's rest."
Jiang Xuelin: "..."
She remained silent and simply watched Fu Hanlai.
"……Hahaha."
Seeing Fu Hanlai's guilty look, Jiang Xuelin smiled instead, her beauty mark at the corner of her eye was very striking, "It's alright, this courtyard is all our people, who would dare to go out and spread rumors about our master? Fu Ashou, why don't we make up for the remaining three times now? The sooner the better."
Fu Hanlai pulled the blanket tighter around himself, then closed his eyes. "...No, no, maybe next time. I'm sleepy."
My little Ah Shou says it doesn't want to!
"Hmph..." Jiang Xuelin snorted coldly, stopped pursuing the matter, and closed her eyes.
...Actually, she didn't mean it; she was just trying to scare him.
