Jiang Qinyu remained motionless, closing her eyes and pretending not to hear.
But Lu Yanzheng continued, "No matter what you're angry about, I'll apologize to you first. But when a case is heard, the whole story will be explained. You should at least let me know why you're angry with me, right?"
He paused, then said softly, "I don't want to make you angry."
Hearing this, Jiang Qinyu felt a little awkward. How could Lu Yanzheng, such a tough and unyielding man, say something so weak? Was she overreacting?
Lu Yanzheng knew she wasn't asleep. He waited for a long time but didn't hear her reply, so he thought she wouldn't answer. But Jiang Qinyu spoke up.
"You didn't do anything wrong, go to sleep."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yanzheng frowned slightly, quickly understanding the meaning behind her words.
If it wasn't his fault, then it must be because of someone else that she was angry with him?
What could it be?
In a flash, Lu Yanzheng suddenly remembered something Qin Shen had told him before.
There was an old soldier in the border army whose wife would easily get angry with him, and the reasons for her anger were always varied.
But most of the time it's because of other women.
Other women… Lu Yanzheng suddenly opened his eyes. He thought he probably knew what was going on.
As a martial artist, his senses were sharper than others, and he naturally noticed that Chen Xiuer was always pretending to look at him casually.
He had thought that it wouldn't hurt to just glance at it, so he hadn't paid any attention to it.
But now that his wife is reacting so strongly, he'll have to be more careful in the future.
After a moment, Lu Yanzheng said in a deep voice, "Starting tomorrow, I will wear the mask."
Jiang Qinyu: "..."
It seems... there's no need for that, is there?
However, she didn't say anything, but she felt a little better and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Hearing her steady breathing, Lu Yanzheng carefully pulled her into his arms and then fell asleep peacefully.
The next day, when Jiang Qinyu woke up, she could already hear Lu Yanzheng practicing his boxing in the courtyard.
She glanced at the neatly tucked blanket covering her and felt as if she had dreamt something like that last night, in which someone was also covering her with a blanket.
However, she quickly put the matter out of her mind, got dressed, and got out of bed.
It was early October, and Yongshan County was beginning to enter winter; the morning temperature was not high.
Jiang Qinyu pushed open the door and shivered as the cold wind blew in her face.
But only for a moment, and she didn't feel particularly cold.
To her surprise, Shufan and Pan'er were also in the courtyard, practicing horse stance.
"Good morning, Auntie!"
Upon seeing her, the two greeted each other in unison, as usual.
Jiang Qinyu looked at them with amusement, "What are you two doing?"
"Practice!" the two said in unison again.
Jiang Qinyu shook her head with a chuckle, but still encouraged them, "Then you must persevere. You can't learn martial arts without perseverance."
“Yes! We know, our uncle told us.” Shufan replied immediately.
Jiang Qinyu then looked at Lu Yanzheng, who had already finished his set of punches, put away his moves, and smiled at her.
Thinking of the unpleasantness before going to bed last night, Jiang Qinyu felt a little guilty and looked away, saying, "You guys should hurry up too, wash your faces and we should go next door to eat."
Because Lu Yanzheng was there, Yunzhu and the others consciously didn't stay there, presumably because breakfast at the Chen family's place must have already been prepared.
"I'm not going next door today. I just made some millet porridge, and I saw I had some pickles at home, so I took some out," Lu Yanzheng said.
The yellow millet porridge he mentioned was actually millet porridge, not the modern yellow millet, but yellow millet, also called foxtail millet.
Jiang Qinyu looked at him strangely, "Have you told your mother about it?"
“Yes,” Lu Yanzheng nodded. “When Yunzhu and the others went over this morning, I told them that starting today, as long as I’m home, they don’t need to cook for the four of us.”
Jiang Qinyu was even more surprised and almost asked why, but she held back.
Fine, I'll just eat here. Anyway, I don't want to go over and see Chen Xiuer.
Although Chen Xiuer appeared outwardly normal, her secret desire for Lu Yanzheng made it impossible for her to view her with a normal perspective.
Lu Yanzheng went into the kitchen first, ladled out the millet porridge from the pot, and placed it on the table.
When Jiang Qinyu brought the child in, the food was already laid out.
"I won't be here at noon today, so you can go eat next door. If I'm not back by late afternoon, you don't need to wait for me for dinner," Lu Yanzheng instructed.
He had arranged to meet with Wei Chengzong today to check on the reconstruction progress in several severely affected villages. In addition, he also had to go to the county government office to instruct the yamen runners on their daily training.
Jiang Qinyu knew he was busy, so she didn't ask him where he was going. She just casually said, "Be careful out there."
A sweet feeling welled up in Lu Yanzheng's heart, and he smiled and said, "Alright, I'll do whatever you say, Madam."
Jiang Qinyu: "..."
She glared at him.
And this person is doing it in front of the children! Can't they at least be a little more discreet?
After dinner, Jiang Qinyu was about to clean up the dishes when Lu Yanzheng was much faster than her. Before she could even react, he had already finished cleaning up.
After clearing away the dishes, Lu Yanzheng took out a bronze mask from his pocket and put it on. "I'm going out."
Jiang Qinyu stared blankly at his back, then suddenly remembered what he had said last night: he would still wear a mask when he went out.
Does he know why she was unhappy yesterday?
...
With nothing much to do in the morning, Jiang Qinyu taught her two children to recognize characters.
