Chapter 46 What are you so reserved about?
"Xiao Tao hasn't come back yet." Jiang Zhaoxue, Pei Siyan, Wu and Wang worked together at the Spring Banquet. Not only did they not embarrass Jiang Zhaoyue, but they also changed the views of many noble ladies towards Jiang Zhaoyue.
She was extremely angry, but she had no way to deal with Jiang Zhaoyue.
At this moment, a young man quietly walked up to Jiang Zhaoyue and spoke to her intimately.
She immediately sensed something was wrong and pulled Pei Siyan along to peek. She saw that the young man and Jiang Zhaoyue had ambiguous expressions on their faces, and when they separated, they were still looking at each other reluctantly.
There must be something fishy going on.
She and Pei Siyan were immediately excited. They only found out that the young man was called Yang Yanchen and came to the banquet with his classmates. They had to ask their maid Xiaotao to find out the rest.
"So slow." Pei Siyan was impatient.
Jiang Wanxue comforted her: "Don't worry, Jiang Zhaoyue and Yang Yanchen are definitely not clean!"
Pei Siyan suddenly became angry: "I didn't expect Jiang Zhaoyue to be so ungrateful. She has such a good husband like my second brother, but she still cheated on me!"
Jiang Wanxue said contemptuously: "She is just like that."
Pei Siyan asked: "What kind of person?"
"A greedy person."
Pei Siyan said dissatisfiedly: "But she can't do this when she comes to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion!"
Jiang Wanxue nodded.
"Let's go and wait in our yard."
The two of them had been in the courtyard for a while when the maid Xiao Tao finally brought news about Yang Yanchen: "Yang Yanchen, 23 years old, is a candidate from Tongzhou County. His family is modest. He failed in the imperial examination last year and stayed in the capital to make friends. While preparing for the exam again, he also wanted to find a shortcut."
Pei Siyan didn't want to hear any of this nonsense and interrupted her: "What's the relationship between him and Jiang Zhaoyue?"
"He doesn't know Second Grandma." Xiao Tao answered truthfully.
"How is that possible?" Pei Siyan and Jiang Wanxue denied it together.
Xiao Tao explained, "Yang Yanchen is a bluffing person. If he had a relationship with Second Mistress, he would definitely show off everywhere and try to gain benefits."
"Then why is he so close to Jiang Zhaoyue today?" Pei Siyan asked.
Xiao Tao replied: "Because he has a crush on Second Grandma."
Pei Siyan and Jiang Wanxue were surprised: "Falling in love with Jiang Zhaoyue? What does that mean?"
"I heard that Yang Yanchen has a peculiar habit."
"What quirk?"
"I like married women."
Pei Siyan and Jiang Wanxue looked at each other, then looked at Xiaotao: "Go on."
Xiao Tao said, "I heard that when he was in Tongzhou County, he had an affair with the wife of a wealthy businessman. After the affair was exposed, he took a lot of money from the wealthy businessman's wife and ran away to the capital. He lived a very luxurious life, which was simply beyond the reach of my humble family."
"He is actually this kind of person!" Pei Siyan said with disgust.
Xiao Tao continued, "He must have heard about Second Madam's reputation, and saw how beautiful she was—"
"What do you mean by beautiful? You're obviously a vixen! So enchanting! You don't look like the legitimate daughter-in-law of the Duke of Zhenguo at all!" Pei Siyan scolded.
Xiaotao was startled.
Jiang Wanxue looked at her: "Go on."
Xiao Tao didn't dare to say anything more about Jiang Zhaoyue's beauty: "He must have heard about the Second Mistress's reputation and thought she was easy to manipulate, so he planned to do the same and gain some benefits."
"You mean, he wants to find a second rich businessman's wife?" Pei Siyan asked.
Xiao Tao nodded: "This is my guess."
"I think so too." Jiang Wanxue agreed.
Pei Siyan frowned: "In other words, Jiang Zhaoyue and Yang Yanchen are innocent at the moment, and there is no cheating?"
Xiao Tao nodded: "Yes."
Pei Siyan was worried.
Jiang Wanxue was silent for a moment, then said, "Being innocent now doesn't mean you'll be innocent in the future."
Pei Siyan looked at Jiang Wanxue and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Yang Yanchen has fallen for Jiang Zhaoyue, so he won't give up so easily." Jiang Wanxue raised her lips: "As long as he doesn't give up, everything is possible."
Pei Siyan said, "But Jiang Zhaoyue is not comparable to a wealthy businessman's wife. It's hard for him to even meet her."
"We can help now." Jiang Wanxue said.
"What you mean is..." Pei Siyan didn't continue.
Jiang Wanxue already knew what she meant and smiled.
Pei Siyan was also happy.
The two of them moved closer and whispered about Jiang Zhaoyue.
As soon as Jiang Zhaoyue and Pei Jingzhou entered Linhua Courtyard, they saw Pei Heng in the courtyard.
"Second sister-in-law! You are finally back!" Pei Heng ran over with a sepak ball in his arms.
"When did you come?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.
"I came here after lunch. I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
"Playing sepak takraw again?"
"Don't you want to kick?"
Jiang Zhaoyue had been busy with the Spring Festival Banquet these past few days and hadn't been active, so he immediately said, "If you want to play, wait for me to change my clothes."
Pei Heng immediately became happy.
Jiang Zhaoyue looked at Pei Jingzhou: "Second Master, do you want to kick me?"
"No." Pei Jingzhou refused.
"That's right, you are still injured." Jiang Zhaoyue changed into light clothes and searched for a long time with Pei Heng before finding a place with little wind, clean, spacious and out of the way to play football.
As he was kicking, he saw Xiaotao walking out of the house.
"Xiao Tao!" Pei Heng ran around the mansion and knew many servants.
Xiao Tao turned around when she heard that, and her eyes were a little evasive when she saw Jiang Zhaoyue.
"Xiaotao, where are you going?" Pei Heng asked.
Xiao Tao bowed and said, "Master Fifth, I am going out of the house to buy some things."
"What are you buying?"
"Buy some girl's stuff."
"What is that thing?" Pei Heng asked to get to the bottom of it.
Xiao Tao had no choice but to say, "Fifth Master, this is inconvenient to say."
Pei Heng asked again: "Don't you have these things in the mansion?"
"It was the Third Miss who asked me to go. I didn't know."
Pei Heng thought for a moment and said, "Okay then, when will you be back?"
"...I will be back after I finish shopping."
"Okay, go ahead."
Xiaotao bowed again and left in a hurry.
Jiang Zhaoyue didn't think much about it and continued playing football with Pei Heng.
When they were tired of playing, the two of them would sit in the pavilion next to them to eat snacks, drink tea, look at flowers and insects, and recite poems.
In the blink of an eye, it was evening.
Jiang Zhaoyue asked Pei Heng to go back.
Pei Heng frowned: "It's almost dark, why hasn't Xiaotao come back yet?"
Jiang Zhaoyue said: "Maybe it was delayed."
"Okay, then I won't care about her anymore. I'm going back. Sister-in-law, I'll come play with you again tomorrow."
"OK."
Pei Heng ran away happily holding the sepak takraw ball.
Jiang Zhaoyue returned to Linhua Courtyard and had dinner with Pei Jingzhou. After taking a bath, he lay down on the bed. Seeing Pei Jingzhou lying down, he called out, "Second Master."
"What for?" Pei Jingzhou asked.
Jiang Zhaoyue said in a low voice, "It's not good to sleep soundly, isn't it?"
Pei Jingzhou looked sideways at her.
Jiang Zhaoyue giggled, and suddenly, like a swimming fish, she slipped into Pei Jingzhou's bed skillfully and sleekly, hugging his slender waist. "This way, I'll be quiet for the whole night and won't touch your wound."
Pei Jingzhou still looked at her without saying a word.
Jiang Zhaoyue said to herself: "Ah, although it's not raining, the weather is a bit cold. It's so warm to sleep with me hugged like this."
Pei Jingzhou didn't say anything.
It was the first time that Jiang Zhaoyue hugged Pei Jingzhou so soberly. She smelled the faint and refreshing fragrance on his body and felt the firmness of his body through his clothes. Her hand involuntarily rested on Pei Jingzhou's chest.
"Jiang Zhaoyue." Pei Jingzhou called.
"Huh?" Jiang Zhaoyue looked like he knew nothing.
"Your hand..."
"What's wrong?"
"Don't touch me."
"I didn't touch it."
Pei Jingzhou turned his head and looked at his chest.
Jiang Zhaoyue's fingers were still rubbing, and she stopped immediately: "Second Master has a good figure, I can't help myself, why don't you touch me too."
"Be more reserved."
"Why should I be so reserved in the bedroom?"
