Chapter 48 Suddenly Falling
"What's wrong?" Xiangqiao asked.
Jiang Zhaoyue whispered, "It seems like someone is watching us."
Xiang Qiao was startled and wanted to look around, but she was afraid of alerting the enemy, so she stood there and didn't dare to move.
Jiang Zhaoyue asked: "Didn't you feel it?"
Xiangqiao shook her head: "I don't have any."
"No?" Jiang Zhaoyue couldn't help but wonder, "Am I overthinking it?"
Xiangqiao was confused and asked, "Second Madam, what should we do now?"
Jiang Zhaoyue said, "Let's continue to explore the garden."
"ah?"
Jiang Zhaoyue continued to look at the flowers and grass as if nothing had happened.
Just...just...just be okay?
Xiangqiao looked at Nanny Sun in confusion.
Jiang Zhaoyue and Xiangqiao were whispering to each other just now, but Nanny Sun didn't hear what they were saying. She asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"No, nothing." Xiangqiao replied.
"Then follow me." Nanny Sun took the lead to catch up with Jiang Zhaoyue.
Xiang Qiao saw that both of them looked relaxed. She looked around but didn't see anyone.
Is Second Madam really overthinking it?
She didn't think any more and followed Jiang Zhaoyue and Nanny Sun.
Jiang Zhaoyue walked back to Linhua Courtyard and was busy with Linhua Courtyard's affairs for a while.
Pei Jingzhou came back when it was almost time for dinner.
"Second Master, you're back!" Jiang Zhaoyue greeted him warmly.
Pei Jingzhou turned and went into the bedroom to change clothes.
Jiang Zhaoyue hurried to follow.
Pei Jingzhou suddenly stopped and looked at her sideways: "I can change my clothes by myself."
Jiang Zhaoyue then stopped and said: "Your injury has not healed yet, I will help you change."
"No need." Pei Jingzhou quickly walked into the bedroom, slammed the door shut, and bolted it, fearing that Jiang Zhaoyue would catch up and take advantage of him.
“…Tsk, you stingy guy.” Jiang Zhaoyue complained.
Xiangqiao came over and asked, "Second Madam, are we setting up dinner?"
Jiang Zhaoyue stood at the bedroom door and called out, "Second Master."
"What's the matter?" Pei Jingzhou responded from inside.
"Want to set up the dinner?"
"Put it out."
"I didn't know you would be back, so I ordered everything I like for lunch today."
"Can."
"Then I'll wait for you to have dinner together."
"Um."
Jiang Zhaoyue sat down at the dinner table.
Pei Jingzhou changed into a moon-white casual suit with a light green bamboo leaf pattern, and tied a silver-edged belt. He had a tall figure, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and his temperament was cool and outstanding.
"Second Master, you are so handsome!" Jiang Zhaoyue praised immediately.
Pei Jingzhou glanced at Xiangqiao, Baoxia and others beside him.
Xiangqiao, Baoxia and others quickly retreated.
Pei Jingzhou sat next to Jiang Zhaoyue: "Be more reserved."
"Isn't it being unreserved to praise you sincerely?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.
This... doesn't seem to have anything to do with modesty?
But Pei Jingzhou just felt that Jiang Zhaoyue was not reserved enough, but he did not argue with her, otherwise she might come up with all kinds of weird ideas and do some weird things.
He said, "Let's eat."
"Hmph." Jiang Zhaoyue made an unhappy sound.
Pei Jingzhou raised his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Zhaoyue said bluntly: "You said I'm not reserved."
Pei Jingzhou said helplessly: "Just be reserved, okay?"
"Okay." Jiang Zhaoyue walked down the stairs and lowered his head to eat.
Very easy to coax.
Pei Jingzhou's brows relaxed as he continued to eat. When he was almost done, he asked, "A few days ago, you scolded Lord Li."
"Yeah." Jiang Zhaoyue answered naturally. Suddenly, he thought of something and put down his chopsticks and asked, "Did that stinky old man complain to you?"
"Dirty old man?" Pei Jingzhou's mouth twitched slightly.
Jiang Zhaoyue pressed on: "Did he complain to you?"
"No, it was Hu Jianzhi who said that."
"Then what?"
"Then praise you for scolding well."
"really?"
Pei Jingzhou nodded: "Lord Li has come to his senses now. He no longer resists Hu Jianzhi and me like before. Today he discussed the case with us."
Jiang Zhaoyue was surprised: "So I did a good thing for you?"
"yes."
"I was so scared. I thought I had done something bad with good intentions." Jiang Zhaoyue patted his chest, looking very scared.
Pei Jingzhou was puzzled: "Are you afraid too?"
Jiang Zhaoyue picked up the chopsticks again: "Of course, I'm very timid."
"Are you timid?" The person who hit Pei Heng, talked back to his mother, ridiculed Pei Siyan, cursed Li Boyan, etc., actually said that he was timid. Pei Jingzhou simply couldn't bear to look at Jiang Zhaoyue.
"Yes." Jiang Zhaoyue said confidently.
"Where are you so timid?"
"I'm afraid of many things, such as the dark, pain, tiredness, failure, and no one loves me." Jiang Zhaoyue said with a smile.
"I can't tell." Pei Jingzhou said.
"If you can't see it, forget it." Jiang Zhaoyue rolled her eyes at him and turned to talk about Li Boyan: "I did this good thing for you, you should thank me properly."
Pei Jingzhou asked: "How do I thank you properly?"
Jiang Zhaoyue tilted his head and thought.
Pei Jingzhou suddenly remembered that the thank you gift she asked for last time was "a kiss for me". He did kiss her lips and still remembered the softness and warmth of her lips. His heart suddenly felt hot and he stood up suddenly.
Jiang Zhaoyue was startled.
"I still have something to do. Take your time to think about it and don't think too much." Pei Jingzhou walked out immediately.
"Second Master, have you finished your meal?"
"Um."
Jiang Zhaoyue continued to think about a thank-you gift, but after a whole day she still couldn't think of what to ask for. The next day she paid her respects to Wang as usual.
Wang and Pei Siyan were both extremely peaceful and did not cause any trouble.
Pei Siya and Pei Sijing studied hard and learned skills.
Pei Heng is accompanying Aunt Shen today.
While Jiang Zhaoyue felt relaxed, he still felt that someone was watching him in the dark.
This feeling lasted for several days, but I couldn't find anyone.
She suspected she had encountered something dirty.
Before she could think about it carefully, Qingming Festival arrived.
Everyone in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was preparing to worship their ancestors.
All the women in the mansion had to copy scriptures for their ancestors.
The original owner was not good at writing, and Jiang Zhaoyue was not good at using a brush either, but Wang had very high requirements and insisted that the writing be fair and beautiful.
So the Crown Prince's wife and others had finished copying, and her handwriting just passed the test.
Out of respect for her ancestors, she had no choice but to stay in Songqing Hall obediently, copying carefully and reciting some scriptures to remove the dirt from her body.
"Second Madam, it looks like it's going to rain." Xiangqiao glanced out the window.
"Didn't you bring an umbrella?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.
"Yes, but I am worried about heavy rain."
"I'll finish copying this page, then we'll go back and come back tomorrow to copy it."
"Um."
Jiang Zhaoyue finished copying, tidied up the desk, said goodbye to Yinping, and left Songqingtang with Xiangqiao. Not only did it rain heavily, but a strong wind also came.
It was difficult for two people to move with an umbrella.
"Second Madam, let's find a place to shelter from the rain." Xiangqiao said.
"Let's go to the rockery." Jiang Zhaoyue pulled Xiangqiao into the rockery.
"Second Madam, please go in quickly. I will take away the umbrella."
"Okay." Jiang Zhaoyue crawled into the rockery cave. Without time to wipe off the water droplets on her head and body, she heard a "splash" behind her and looked back.
Xiangqiao suddenly fell at the entrance of the rockery cave.
