Thinking about finding an opportunity to send an invitation to Princess Ping, Lady Jing'an chatted with Jiang Xuelin for a while longer before sending her away.
They've only been married for a little over a month. If their daughter visits her parents' home too frequently after getting married, it will affect her husband's family's attitude. Even though Lady Jing'an knows that Princess Ping is easy to get along with, she doesn't want Jiang Xue to provoke the elders' authority and filial piety.
Fu Hanlai was even more eager to run away.
If we don't run away soon, Marquis Jing'an and Jiang Xuetao, who is studying at the Imperial Academy, will be returning to their residence!
Lady Jing'an didn't do anything to him, but if that father and son knew that he made Jiang Xuelin sleep on the ground... even the lawless young master would feel weak in the knees just thinking about that scene.
When the two returned to the Prince Ping's residence, the Prince Ping and his wife had not yet returned. They had gone to the Third Prince's place for a wedding banquet and estimated that they would not return until evening. So they did not go to pay their respects but went back to their own courtyard and went to bed early that night.
Jiang Xuelin was very satisfied with today's gains and quickly fell asleep.
Fu Hanlai listened to the steady breathing under the bed curtains, but tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
He didn't know what he was thinking; his mind was just going back and forth, and a face would occasionally flash through his mind.
After fighting with Jiang Xuelin for so many years, he now has to admit that his mother was right after all; Jiang Xuelin does seem to be able to intimidate people.
As he was thinking this, a face with a mocking smile flashed through his mind again, startling him so much that he immediately rolled over.
Fu Hanlai felt that he was definitely frightened by Jiang Xuelin's abnormal behavior. He didn't expect that a rude and domineering woman would laugh like that, which is why he couldn't take his eyes off her. Moreover, the beauty mark at the corner of Jiang Xuelin's eye kept flashing in front of his eyes, and he couldn't help but stare at it.
Isn't this the same as the cat his mother kept? His mother's cat would also stare at the little colorful ball!
So this can't be considered his problem.
He was startled because he hadn't thought of it for a moment.
That's terrifying.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xuelin was so unethical, leaving him with such a deep psychological scar that he still can't sleep well, his mind filled with that frightening smile.
Fu Hanlai turned over again.
"Brother Ah Shou..."
Oh, right, not only the scary smile, but also that "brother" call.
Fu Hanlai felt as if Jiang Xuelin's voice was echoing in his ears again. He shuddered and felt something rise up from the bottom of his heart and rush to the top of his head. He really was just joking at the time.
She silently rolled over again.
I can't sleep at all.
It was probably around 9 PM now. Fu Hanlai felt very sleepy, but his mind was very clear. Not only was it clear, but it was also very invigorating. He didn't know what exactly was invigorating him.
What a cunning woman!
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xuelin could be so cunning. He had to admit that he had lost a round because he was caught off guard. But that was just today. Next time, he would never be scared again.
—He was so scared his hair almost stood on end.
Just as he was about to turn over again, Fu Hanlai suddenly heard a voice in his ear, and he jumped up instantly.
"Hey, Fu Ashou, what are you doing up so late at night?" Jiang Xuelin sat up, her voice still sleepy.
Even though the bed is big, Jiang Xuelin is a very perceptive person. It would be fine if Fu Hanlai didn't move, but with him tossing and turning like this, how could she sleep?
Jiang Xuelin was woken up from a good night's sleep and is not in a good mood.
Fu Hanlai was genuinely frightened.
He was preoccupied with the events of the day and silently cursing Jiang Xuelin in his heart when he heard the voice of the person who should have been asleep. Anyone would be startled.
"Whether I sleep or not is none of your business!"
Jiang Xuelin: "..."
Whether you sleep or not is none of my business, but if you disturb my sleep, then it is my business.
Too lazy to clean up after someone in the middle of the night, Jiang Xuelin lay down again, covered herself with a thin blanket, closed her eyes, and warned, "If you keep tossing and turning and disturbing my rest, believe me, I'll teach you a lesson!"
By the moonlight streaming through the window, Fu Hanlai saw Jiang Xuelin's sleeping face and felt a pang of resentment.
Because he knew that Jiang Xuelin was indeed capable of doing it.
If he were to fight now, he wouldn't be a match for them, and it wouldn't be appropriate to call in the servants outside, so...
I'll endure it!
With a cold snort, Fu Hanlai wiped the sweat that had broken out from his earlier fright, lay down again, and closed his eyes.
He's only threatening her because she's grown up now and he's no match for her. If they had met when they were kids, Jiang Xuelin definitely wouldn't have been a match for him!
but……
Thinking back to his childhood, Fu Hanlai suddenly remembered that when he first saw Jiang Xuelin, she was already ten years old. So he had never seen Jiang Xuelin as a child. Now, thinking about it, he couldn't help but imagine what Jiang Xuelin looked like when she was young.
It shouldn't be much different from now, right?
Perhaps, when Jiang Xuelin has a daughter in the future, he will be able to see a child who looks exactly like Jiang Xuelin when she was a child, and then he will know.
However, what would Jiang Xuelin's daughter look like?
He must look a lot like her.
Hopefully, they only look alike, but their personalities don't have to be the same. Otherwise, no one would know who they are, and they'd definitely be in trouble—just like he is now!
Moreover, just thinking about having a wife like Jiang Xuelin and a daughter like Jiang Xuelin gives Fu Hanlai a headache.
I can't imagine what those days would be like; just imagining it is terrifying.
