Chapter 18 Bedroom Then why can you sleep with your mother every day? ...
Because of the heavy rain, it got dark much earlier than usual. Even though the lights were on, the house was still dim.
In the guest room of the Jiang Mansion, Gao Luoshu changed into Jiang Keyu's clothes and carefully tidied himself up in front of the mirror, which took quite a while.
Then, she was led by the maid to the front hall, where she unexpectedly ran into Jiang Keyu, who was walking hurriedly.
His eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost, and he stepped back repeatedly, "Why are you here?"
Jiang Keyu, who was rushing home in the rain, felt strange when he asked her, "Isn't this my home?"
"Hmm..." Gao Luoshu touched his head awkwardly and turned sideways to avoid his questioning gaze.
Jiang Keyu had other things on her mind and didn't bother to find out if he was weird. She just asked, "Did you send Sui Sui and Jiang Chengyou back?"
"right!"
As the topic changed, Gao Luoshu became confident again.
But Jiang Keyu didn't look at him, and walked straight to the inner courtyard, saying only, "You stay here for a while."
"Huh?"
Gao Luoshu didn't stop him, but only expressed his dissatisfaction verbally, and whispered slander on the spot, "What kind of hospitality is this?"
Walking quickly into the bedroom, the first person Jiang Keyu saw was Song Baoyuan, who was half-squatting and adjusting Jiang Suisui's cuffs.
But the first person to see him was Jiang Chengyou, who was standing there doing nothing.
The latter avoided looking away and subconsciously hid himself behind his mother.
On the contrary, Jiang Suisui's eyes lit up when he looked up after hearing the footsteps, "Daddy!"
As soon as her mother let go of her hand, she couldn't wait to run over.
Jiang Keyu squatted down, but did not open her arms to receive her as usual. She explained, "Daddy is wet. Wait until Daddy changes his clothes before holding her, okay?"
"good!"
Jiang Suisui stamped his feet excitedly.
Song Baoyuan was a little surprised. Although it was already late, he came back much earlier than she expected.
"Young Master Gao who sent them back is still at the mansion. Has your husband seen him?"
"Yeah, I just ran into him in the front hall." Jiang Keyu heard her tone and felt that she was in much better condition than before she left. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "He refused to obey the family's discipline and was kicked out. He refused to give in, and he probably ran out of money, so he had nowhere to go. Now that he has a good excuse to stay here because of the heavy rain, he will probably stay in our house for a few days."
Although Song Baoyuan was confused, she didn't ask any more questions. She just nodded and said, "Then I'll arrange it."
"Um."
Jiang Keyu stood up and stood by the door frame, her wide sleeves hanging down wetly and water was still dripping down.
Song Baoyuan walked past him, and Jiang Chengyou followed closely, neither the old nor the young looking at him.
Only Jiang Suisui, with her eyes wide open, remained standing there, looking puzzled. "Daddy, why hasn't you changed your clothes yet? Mom said that wearing wet clothes will make you sick."
Jiang Keyu reached out and pinched her cheek, "Daddy will go right away."
Before entering the house, he glanced at Song Baoyuan's back as she left, and thought that his wife was not in a good state today. It was already very difficult for her to take care of herself and the children, so it was understandable that she couldn't spare the time to care about him.
*
I walked around Gao Luoshu in the front hall alone, but it was so boring that I finally squatted under the eaves to watch the rain.
Hearing the noise, he immediately stood up and looked back. It was the servants who brought wine and food and were setting the table in an orderly manner.
"Mr. Gao, please wait a moment. Our husband and wife will be out soon. Please take a seat first."
Gao Luoshu sat down obediently, becoming increasingly impatient as he waited.
Another quarter of an hour later, Jiang Keyu finally came out slowly holding her daughter.
Gao Luoshu rolled his eyes in anger, "You're too slow! I'm a customer after all, and I'm getting tired of waiting here!"
"Cry for me." Jiang Keyu showed no apology at all, and was even provocative.
Gao Luoshu became more and more angry and almost slammed the table, but the moment he raised his hand, he happened to catch a glimpse of Song Baoyuan walking out with her son.
"Mr. Gao, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Song Baoyuan said embarrassedly.
She thought Jiang Keyu would come out to entertain them, so she ignored it.
Gao Luoshu pursed his lips, gently put down his hand, unconsciously adjusted his sitting posture, and said in a gentle voice, "No, no, it's me who is bothering you."
"I prepared it last-minute, and only had time to add a few home-cooked dishes. I wonder if Mr. Gao will be able to eat them."
"I'm used to it! I-I like them all."
Jiang Keyu glanced sideways, looking at the stuttering person as if examining him.
Gao Luoshu noticed his gaze and swallowed unconsciously. He didn't know if it was because of his guilty conscience, but he felt an inexplicable chill on his back.
So he cleared his throat and took the initiative, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Wait for you to take credit, then play the victim, and then cry and beg me to take you in."
Gao Luoshu: “…”
That was his original plan, but he blushed at this moment, "I'm not, I'm not, you're overthinking it!"
"Oh." Jiang Keyu said indifferently, "Forget it then."
"You..." Gao Luoshu swallowed the curse that was about to come out of his mouth with difficulty.
In his peripheral vision, Song Baoyuan was lowering her head, concentrating on picking out fish bones for her daughter, and didn't seem to be listening to their conversation.
Jiang Keyu was amused by his expression of anger but not being able to speak out. She shook her head and casually asked while pouring wine, "Aren't you planning to go home yet?"
"It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't!"
Talking about this, Gao Luoshu became angry. "Do you know how much my father has gone too far? It was fine for him to force me to become an official before. If I failed the exam, he couldn't do anything to me. But now that I've run away from home, he's still making a big fuss about finding a matchmaker to marry me. He actually wants to use marriage to tie me down! Originally, if I went back, at most I would be embarrassed, but now if I go back, I'll be forced to marry a woman I don't like. Wouldn't that ruin my life?"
Song Baoyuan paused for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.
Jiang Keyu sneered, "You're not still looking for your fairy, are you?"
Gao Luoshu: “…”
The anger that had just ignited suddenly disappeared.
"Be careful, it's hot." Song Baoyuan's low reminder to her daughter suddenly became the only voice at the table.
After a long moment, Gao Luoshu lowered his eyes and said, "Let's find it."
He stared at his bowl and began stuffing food into his mouth, mumbling a reply, "Looking."
Jiang Keyu couldn't help but feel curious, "I've never seen you so persistent about something before."
"Don't ask anymore." Gao Luoshu wanted to cry but couldn't. "Let's eat. I'm hungry."
Jiang Suisui, who was sitting opposite him, swayed from side to side, avoiding the spoon that Song Baoyuan was using to feed her. "Mom, I don't want to eat anymore."
She touched her belly and said, "Sister Yangyang and I ate a lot of baby cakes today. Look, my belly is bulging."
Seeing this, Song Baoyuan put down the spoon and said, "Then let's go back to the house and play, okay?"
"good!"
Song Baoyuan picked up her daughter from the chair and wanted to go back.
"Madam." Jiang Keyu frowned slightly, "But you haven't even taken a few bites yet."
Song Baoyuan smiled and said, "I'm not too hungry either."
She bowed to Gao Luoshu and said, "Mr. Gao, please enjoy your meal. I'll be leaving now."
As soon as the mother and daughter turned around, Jiang Chengyou immediately put down his bowl and followed them, still chewing, with even rice grains on his lips.
Jiang Keyu reached out and grabbed the back of his collar, pulling him to her side.
Jiang Chengyou felt something was wrong and subconsciously called for help, wanting to shout "Mom!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, it was covered and he couldn't make a sound.
Jiang Keyu didn't let go of the hand that was covering his mouth until Song Baoyuan left.
"mother!"
Jiang Chengyou cried out helplessly, feeling quite sad as if a disaster was about to happen.
Jiang Keyu was helpless, "What are you afraid of? Can I eat you?"
"Dad, I was wrong."
At this point, Jiang Chengyou stood obediently, with his head hung, looking like he was listening attentively.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Chengyou was silent, biting his lips and saying nothing.
Jiang Keyu raised her hand, and the shadow of the slap fell on her face. Jiang Chengyou's first reaction was to close his eyes and shrink his neck.
But the imagined pain did not subside. He squinted his eyes carefully and found that his father had only pinched off the rice grains on the corner of his mouth.
Jiang Keyu sighed and pulled the little person closer to her. "Do you know what her sister would do if she was wronged?"
Jiang Chengyou slowly opened his eyes wide, "She will... complain to Daddy."
"You can't?"
Jiang Chengyou was stunned for a moment, a little dazed, "Will Daddy make the decision for me too?"
Jiang Keyu was stunned by his question, "Of course."
"But except for mother, no one else believes me." Jiang Chengyou clasped his hands together, his face full of undisguised grievance, and his eyes turned red when he thought of this.
Jiang Keyu held him on her lap and rubbed his head soothingly, "Dad is not someone else."
Seeing that he was disappointed, he said, "Daddy can agree to one of your requests as compensation to you."
"real?"
Jiang Chengyou immediately raised his little face, and all his sadness was instantly forgotten.
Jiang Keyu's eyelids twitched, "Yeah."
"Then I don't want to go to school."
Jiang Keyu: "..."
He raised the corners of his mouth, trying to look calm as much as possible, "This won't work. Not going to school is impossible. Let's try another one."
Jiang Chengyou knew the situation and immediately changed his words, "Then I want to sleep with my mother tonight."
"no."
Jiang Chengyou's face fell.
Realizing that her tone was too stiff, Jiang Keyu coughed lightly, trying to soften her tone and explained, "You've grown up, and you're still a boy. You can't always cling to your mother."
"Then why can you sleep with mother every day?"
"Because I'm your father."
"Then I want to be your father too."
Jiang Keyu: "..."
"Puff!" Gao Luoshu, who was standing beside him, almost choked on his food. He laughed so hard that he was out of breath. He gave a thumbs up and praised, "Chengcheng is really ambitious!"
After receiving such straightforward praise, Jiang Chengyou smiled confidently.
"Oh."
Jiang Keyu held his forehead and laughed out of anger.
"Jiang Chengyou." He spoke each word slowly, "Can you tell me again?"
Not good! This familiar tone immediately made Jiang Chengyou alert, and his waist, which had just straightened up, bent down again.
He tiptoed quietly, waited for the right moment, and ran!
He slipped away in the direction Song Baoyuan left, shouting for help all the way.
"mother!"
*
Because she drank two glasses of wine, Jiang Keyu returned to her room half a quarter of an hour later than usual.
He thought Song Baoyuan was still awake, but when he came back, she was not in the room.
Without hesitation, he turned around and went to look for it in his children's room.
The heavy rain outside reduced the sensitivity of her ears. Song Baoyuan, who was lying on her side next to her child, only realized someone coming in when the door was pushed open, and immediately closed her eyes.
Jiang Keyu tiptoed to the bed, leaned over, and heard his wife's steady breathing.
He actually coaxed the child to sleep himself, and thought that he must have been too tired today.
He stood there for a long time, and finally just lifted their quilts and turned away.
Feeling that he was no longer in the room, Song Baoyuan silently opened her dull eyes.
No sleep at all.
The next morning, the rain had stopped. Jiang Keyu came again and saw that the mother and her two children were still asleep, so she went to the Dali Temple to take up her duty.
As usual, I returned home before dinner. Before I even sat down in the house, I heard Qiao Yue come in and report, "Madam, the side room has been cleaned up."
Jiang Keyu was puzzled, "Why are you cleaning up the side room?"
"Cough." Song Baoyuan covered her face and coughed softly.
After a pause, he looked up and explained, "Maybe it's because I caught a cold yesterday. I have a cough. The doctor said it will take four or five days to recover. So as not to disturb your rest, I will stay in the side room for a few days."
"I'm fine."
"You have a lot of things to do during the day, so of course you need to get a good rest at night."
Jiang Keyu was stunned, lowering her head to look at the bowl of soup in her hand. "Since you are sick, you should get enough rest. You will definitely not be used to moving to the side room suddenly."
Song Baoyuan's brows were indifferent. "It's okay, it'll only take a few days."
Every word she said was calm, but her attitude was firm. Even though Jiang Keyu didn't like her concession, he had no choice but to compromise.
"It just so happens that I have a lot of files to look over these days, so I'll just sleep in the study. You don't have to bother moving them, and you won't disturb me."
Jiang Keyu didn't expect that she would sleep in the study for more than half a month.
