Chapter 155 Extra - Daily Life After Marriage 6
night.
When Sheng Yunche returned from his shift, Ye Mingzhu told him about Sheng Huai'an and Liu Rumei.
Sheng Huai'an was murdered, and Liu Rumei committed suicide. It is said that there was blood all over the ground, which was quite frightening. This pair of lovers could be considered to have been together in a certain sense, entangled in life and death.
After her son died, Jia cried and made a scene, insisting that Huang Xiangyu had killed Sheng Huai'an. Because of her extreme emotional distress, she suffered a stroke and became paralyzed on one side.
Afterwards, Jia Shi will recuperate in Rongshou Hall. Unable to move, she will be surrounded by servants who have been poisoned and rendered mute by her and Sheng Huai'an. She will likely live a very exciting life in her later years...
Sheng Yunche was initially surprised, but then, while untying the jade belt around his waist and changing his clothes, he casually nodded to indicate that he knew about it.
"Does Mother know?" he asked.
"I know," Ye Mingzhu nodded and said. "After Xiangyu told me through her maid, I went to Jingchun Residence and told my mother."
"What was her reaction? Did she feel any reluctance?"
"She looked indifferent, just like you, only saying 'I understand'," Ye Mingzhu guessed. "Mother shouldn't be sad. She doesn't seem to care about them at all. She's long since treated them as strangers."
In fact, Princess Ronghua probably hated Liu Rumei to the core for poisoning Sheng Yunche. However, as an elder, and out of respect for her upbringing, she couldn't openly confront Liu Rumei, and could only resort to underhanded tactics.
Sheng Yunche asked this question only out of concern for Princess Ronghua.
The Jia family can no longer cause any trouble, but the old lady also feels sorry for Sheng Huai'an. When he returns from his Buddhist pilgrimage, she will probably have a good cry with Princess Ronghua.
However, we'll see what happens when the time comes.
"That's good." Sheng Yunche nodded, then asked, "Where are my Little Moon and that brat Xiaobai?"
He would change his clothes as soon as he returned, just to be close to his children and avoid bringing back the blood and evil spirits from outside, so as to protect them.
Compared to his cousin and his wife who lived in the next room, he was more interested in how his two children were doing that day.
Especially my sweet and soft daughter, if I hold her soft body and spin her around a few times, or lift her into the air, she will laugh "giggle giggle" and her laughter will carry far away.
How adorable and lively!
Speaking of her children, Ye Mingzhu's almond-shaped eyes filled with smiles: "You came home late today. They are young and sleepy, so they went to bed early. Their nanny is taking care of them, so don't worry."
Did Little White bully Little Moon today?
"No, they spent the afternoon with their mother and had a great time." Ye Mingzhu doted on her daughter but also protected her son, giving him a reproachful glare. "Don't just love your sister and not your brother. Our Xiaobai is a good boy too. You have to treat them equally."
"Alright, alright," Sheng Yunche replied with a smile, then cleared his throat and said, "Since they didn't bother you tonight, then... Madam, why don't you show some concern for me too?"
Ye Mingzhu: "...?!"
She really overestimated him.
She thought he was missing his son and daughter, but it turns out he was still thinking about that!
What are you making up about me about now?
One look at her eyes and Sheng Yunche knew she was secretly complaining.
He walked over to her with amusement, pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly. He lowered his voice and said through gritted teeth, "You brat have been bothering you for three whole nights. I've been celibate for several days. Tonight, the time and place are perfect, so are you going to refuse me a touch?"
His eyes darkened, as if he were extremely aggrieved: "Madam, ask yourself honestly, is what you're doing right?"
Ye Mingzhu: "..."
"Don't you know where your conscience is? Or should I let you feel it?" Sheng Yunche's dark phoenix eyes lowered slightly, his hands becoming increasingly erratic. "Look, your conscience is right here..."
Ye Mingzhu: "..."
Her cheeks flushed instantly, and she thought to herself, "I'm doomed."
She falls for this, what can I do?
The Duke, who is usually domineering, sarcastic, and has a sharp tongue, is irresistible when he acts coquettishly.
Then...
"Let's go to the shower room and shower together," Sheng Yunche said.
"..." Ye Mingzhu pursed her lips, said nothing, but hid her blushing cheeks in his arms, indicating her tacit consent through her actions.
The night outside the window was as dark as ink, and a bright, clear moon was held aloft by the treetops.
Inside the room, the red candles burned warmly, and the water rippled gently.
The smooth ground was splashed with water, and even a potted rose under the windowsill could not escape its fate, its bright and delicate pink petals covered with countless glistening water droplets.
A breeze blows, the flower branches sway gently, and water droplets glisten.
...
The next day, Ye Mingzhu slept in late again.
Huang Xiangyu sent her maid to invite her. After applying makeup and tidying herself up, she went to the Sheng family next door to talk to Huang Xiangyu, but she was already late again.
She was led by her maid to a pavilion, where she saw three familiar figures in the distance.
Upon closer inspection, it was indeed true that Huang Xiangyu had invited Sheng Wan'er back, and also called Qin Xuefei and Xiang Hongying.
Upon seeing her approach, the group greeted her with smiles.
"Come quick, come quick, we're just waiting for you."
"Why are you late again? Did you overwork yourself last night? Are you tired?"
"You've worked hard, haha."
"Autumn is the perfect time to eat crabs. Hongying brought a jar of chrysanthemum wine and a basket of crabs, each one as big as a teacup. They'll be ready to be cooked soon."
"If you don't come soon, we're going to eat all the crabs!"
"Sister-in-law, you look radiant today."
"..."
Ye Mingzhu pretended not to hear the teasing, and walked to the pavilion with a smile to sit down. She asked Baozan to put the snacks she had brought on the table and told her to go and rest.
The five are good friends and get together from time to time.
Each time, someone brings some food, and someone else brings some food, and a sumptuous "afternoon tea" can be made.
It's not that the host is lacking in something; the main point is to create a surprise.
The term "afternoon tea" was coined by Huang Xiangyu, who said that girls from her "hometown" really enjoy having small gatherings like this.
A few close girlfriends leave their husbands and children behind and go out for afternoon tea together. It's a way for them to "recharge" and escape the tedious housework and the widowed life of raising children.
Because they knew each other's deepest secrets, Huang Xiangyu made no attempt to hide anything from Ye Mingzhu, occasionally uttering strange or unusual words, which Ye Mingzhu had grown accustomed to.
As He Shengwan'er, Qin Xuefei, and Xiang Hongying became more familiar, Huang Xiangyu also became increasingly unrestrained.
The group started chatting.
Huang Xiangyu said about herself: "These past few days, my mother-in-law has been urging me to adopt her nephew's child as my heir. She said that my business is so big, I can't let Yushu, a lowly maid's daughter, have such a good life. She told me to wake up, but I just spat at her and didn't want to talk to her."
"So what if I'm a concubine's daughter? So what if I'm a girl?" Xiang Hongying touched her round belly. "I am a concubine's daughter. Sister Mingzhu said that my unborn child is a girl, and I think that's fine."
“Yes.” Qin Xuefei said succinctly, “I can kill ten of them by myself.”
After she finished speaking, she added, "A man."
Telling corny jokes in a serious manner.
Ye Mingzhu couldn't help but laugh out loud, her eyebrows curving into crescents. Huang Xiangyu poked her on the ticklish spot on her waist, and she couldn't hold back her soft laughter, which immediately turned into a loud one.
Laughter is contagious; when she laughed, Huang Xiangyu and the others also laughed.
After laughing, Sheng Wan'er asked, "Sister Xiangyu, are you going to observe mourning for that person next?"
