Chapter 63: Slapping the Second Son
Chen Yan's eyes darkened, as if he was a little embarrassed.
But he still pretended to be calm, walked forward, put the mattress on the bed, and spoke.
"Madam, have you forgotten? You promised me before... that as long as I invite Prime Minister Jing out, you would let me go back to my room to sleep."
Jiang Wanning: “?”
Did she agree? When did she agree?
There have been so many big and small things happening lately that she has no time to think about them, so how could she remember such a small thing?
Seeing that she didn't respond and looked like she was going to default on her debt, Shen Yan inexplicably had a bad feeling.
"Ma'am? You can't remember?"
"I remember now, this is indeed the case..."
Jiang Wanning nodded. She would not go back on her word. Otherwise, what would she do if Shen Yan didn't obey her in the future?
However, it was definitely impossible to let the Marquis go back to his room to sleep and share the bed with her.
They are not yet that mature!
After Jiang Wanning agreed, just as Shen Yan curved his thin lips and raised his hand to send Baojuan away, he saw her get out of bed and put on her shoes.
Instructed Baojuan.
"Come here and make the bed, and straighten the mattress for the Marquis."
Seeing her about to leave, Shen Yan couldn't help but call her: "Madam, it's the middle of the night...where are you going?"
Jiang Wanning raised his hand and patted his mouth lightly, yawned, and said sleepily.
"My Lord, please sleep in this room. I won't disturb you. I'll sleep in the next room..."
Shen Yan: "No?"
Is this even possible?!
Watching Jiang Wanning walk out with great strides, Shen Yan stood at the head of the bed, clenched his fists, and gritted his teeth! He was careless!
Lu Yao was guarding in the dark with a sword in his arms, and he couldn't help but shook his head when he saw this.
Oh, women are so fickle!
He would ask about my well-being when he was needed, and throw it aside when he was done... Why did I suddenly feel a little sorry for the Marquis?
…
The second day.
Jiang Wanning slept until noon. He stood up and stretched, and immediately felt refreshed and relaxed all over.
As expected, life is comfortable without a rebellious son to bother me!
However, she didn't have time to be happy.
Then Baojuan walked in quickly from outside, looking troubled.
"Madam... the Second Young Master and his wife are back! They seemed to have had an argument, and his wife's eyes are red, as if she had just cried."
Jiang Wanning rolled up his sleeves, and the laziness on his face instantly turned into murderous intent.
"Where are they?!"
Baojuan seemed a little angry as well. She had been worried that the Madam would favor the Second Young Master and would not protect his wife as she did the Eldest Princess.
But judging by the lady's reaction, it seemed like the second young master was about to be beaten.
She immediately became excited!
He explained as he led the way.
"The Second Young Master and his wife are in the front hall... and Miss Ji, no, General Ji is here too! It seems the Second Young Master's wife started arguing with him because of General Ji."
Jiang Wanning rushed to the front hall and asked in a cold voice.
"General Ji? Why is she here to join in the fun?"
Although the subplot in the original text was written rather sloppily, Jiang Wanning still had a deep impression of Ji Lingzhu, and even felt that she was more annoying than Murong Yan'er.
Murong Yan'er at least was scheming secretly and didn't dare to do it openly.
Ji Lingzhu was almost taking advantage of the situation, blatantly flaunting herself in front of her second daughter-in-law Song Zhizhi, and she almost stepped on Song Zhizhi's face!
But the idiot second son Shen Yu'an thought that Ji Lingzhu was being true to her nature, and disliked Song Zhizhi for being petty, bad-tempered and pretentious.
The young couple quarreled all day long, causing chaos and unrest in the home.
Song Zhizhi often ran to her parents' home in anger, but she couldn't stay there for long. She would ask her parents to rush back and continue to suffer from her husband's anger.
However, Shen Yu'an always thought that she went back to her parents' home to reflect on herself, and would come back with her head down within ten days or half a month. He never took her to heart and did not realize that the biggest problem was him, a treacherous scumbag!
Baojuan continued talking as she walked.
"The Second Young Master's wife had just returned from the Song family today, and happened to run into the Second Young Master rushing back from outside the city... I don't know what's wrong with the Second Young Master, he actually rode a horse with that young General Ji in broad daylight, in public! It would be fine if the two of them were just disregarding decorum and flaunting themselves in public, but the Second Young Master's wife had to see them!
The Second Young Master’s wife was so angry that she started arguing with the Second Young Master! The Second Young Master still… still…”
The more Jiang Wanning listened, the deeper his frown deepened, and he could no longer hold back the tension under his sleeves.
"What else?!"
"The Second Young Master almost hit the Second Young Master's wife... Although he was stopped, the Second Young Master's wife was furious! Her eyes were swollen like peaches from crying..."
Jiang Wanning was also very angry.
"Evil creature! He thinks he's right and dares to attack! I think he deserves a beating!"
…
The master and servant rushed to the front hall angrily.
Song Zhizhi was seen sitting on a chair, crying and waving her hands to yell at Shen Yu'an to get out.
Shen Yu'an was extremely annoyed.
"Cry, cry, cry! All you do is cry! I really don't know what you're making such a fuss about. I already told you... Lingzhu's horse kicked its hooves on the mountain path outside the city, and I couldn't just leave her alone at the foot of the mountain, so I only gave her a ride! And you're being jealous too! It's totally unreasonable!"
Ji Lingzhu, with her hair tied in a high ponytail and dressed in men's clothes, followed and explained.
"My dear sister-in-law, please stop crying! I've already apologized to you, isn't that enough?!
"Oh, I told you women who live in seclusion are troublesome. You get angry over the smallest things! I think Brother Shen is my elder brother, and we are brothers. How can we be as dirty as you think!"
Song Zhizhi cried.
"Yes, good brothers... Hugging and kissing on horseback, you are not ashamed, but I am ashamed!"
Hearing her say this, Shen Yu'an's face became even uglier.
"What do you mean by hugging? Is it necessary to say it so harshly?! You scolded me, and I won't bother with you, but Ling Zhu was worried about me, so she accompanied me all the way back. Why should she be scolded by you here?!"
Jiang Wanning was so furious when he heard this at the entrance of the yard.
I just regret that I came too late and didn't shut this evil creature up earlier.
"If she doesn't want to be scolded here, then tell her to leave immediately! Otherwise...if she leaves too late, she'll end up being scolded for more than just her!"
Hearing Jiang Wanning's voice coming from the door, Shen Yu'an subconsciously turned around.
But before he could see the approaching figure clearly, he heard a "pop"!
A crisp and bone-piercing slap landed on his cheek, making him take half a step back.
"……Mother?!"
“Senior Brother!”
Ji Lingzhu immediately stepped forward and supported Shen Yu'an.
Seeing this, he couldn't help feeling annoyed and turned to look at Jiang Wanning, wanting to argue with her.
"Madam Hou! If you have something to say, just say it. How dare you hit someone? Don't you know that face is the most important thing for a man—"
“Bang!”
