rich concubine

Chapter 500: Still not in love yet?

After talking about important matters of family and country, Rong Yi seemed to have met a different and bright Jiang Shunxiao, but she didn't know that in his eyes, she was the same.

Jiang Shunxiao even talked to her about the government affairs without hesitation, and talked about some old ministers and pedantic ideas that he couldn't stand.

When Rong Yi responded, she also told him her own thoughts and her rejection of the rules and regulations set for women. Her heart suddenly became enlightened, as if she was not afraid of the consequences of anything she said, unlike before when she was timid in front of him for fear of saying the wrong thing. At the end of the sentence, Rong Yi said: "If there is a next life, I want to be a man!"

Hearing this, Jiang Shunxiao, who had been listening silently without interrupting her, suddenly spoke, "Do you want me to divorce you in the next life?"

Rong Yi was stunned for a moment. What does it have to do with her breaking up with him as a man?
He said: "It doesn't matter. I think if we can meet in the next life, you and I should be brothers! You see how similar our ideas are."

Jiang Shunxiao: "..."

Rong Yi became more and more enthusiastic as she talked, as if she had already seen the next life, when she was a man, riding horses galloping with him on the grassland, talking loudly.

Jiang Shunxiao never imagined that she was so slow. He regarded her as a woman, but she wanted to be his brother?

In order to prevent her from saying anything earth-shattering again, Jiang Shunxiao covered her mouth with a fan and said, "Stop it!" Who wants to be your brother?

Jiang Shunxiao took a deep breath, threw the fan to her, turned over and got out of bed, rubbed his forehead as if he had a headache, and said, "I'm going to wash up."

Rong Yi took off the fan and looked at his back, feeling confused. Why did this man change his face so quickly?Didn’t you just say it well?
Rong Yi pursed her lips and turned to look at the children, only to see that the two children had fallen asleep at some point, and the little one put his hand on Xiao Tuanzi's mouth.

Rong Yi smiled, put the children in, covered them with their small quilts, and lay down in them. She was still thinking, luckily this bed is big enough, otherwise it wouldn't be enough to lie on. There is no doubt that. He's going to sleep here tonight.

The two of them chatted and forgot about the time. Rong Yi didn't know how late it was, her eyelids were trembling, and she fell asleep before he came back.

……

She was ready to have a good night's sleep, but she didn't expect the child to make a fuss before dawn. Rong Yi closed her eyes and touched the child's little butt. Sure enough, she peed on the diaper. She got up and called Yu Heng. Fortunately, Yu Heng knew that the little master They were still inside, so the adults could sleep a little longer, but the little master wanted to get up, so he pulled Xinrui up early and waited outside, otherwise he would hear the summons from inside.

She and Xin Rui went in and took away the two mistresses and sent them to Qiuniang in the small bedroom.

Rong Yi lay down in a daze, subconsciously lying down, and then suddenly thought of Master, turned over and looked at Jiang Shunxiao, who was sleeping more soundly than her, stretched out her hand to push him, and said: "Master, it's time to get up."

Jiang Shunxiao let out a deep breath, put his arms around her and squeezed her in. He said with a slight nasal voice: "Nothing to do today, please sleep more."

"Don't you have to go to morning court?"

"Need not."

Only then did Rong Yi feel relieved, thinking that he had indeed left early and returned late these past two days, and had not had a good rest, so she couldn't bear to disturb his sleep any more, and she didn't wake up, so she simply lay in his arms and continued to sleep.

It wasn't until the sun rose and the birds came to peck at the window that the two of them had enough sleep. Rong Yi raised her head from his arms. The light in the day was better than at night. She could clearly see his face. There was a circle of black under his eyes, looking haggard.

Seeing him open his eyes, Rong Yi said: "I have nothing to do today. Let me sleep for a while. I will get up and go see the child first."

Jiang Shunxiao pressed her down and hugged her tightly for a while before she woke up from her drowsiness. He said, "It's been many years since I slept so peacefully. Did the child make trouble last night?"

Rong Yi said: "I woke up at night and fed Jiacheng. I was asleep so I probably didn't hear it." Jiang Shunxiao sighed. He didn't drink alcohol last night, but he slept like that. If there was any trouble on weekdays, he would have woken up long ago, but last night It was so late that he didn't even know the child was breastfeeding.

After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "If I take you with me in a war, I'm afraid I won't be able to defend myself at all."

Rong Yi took a sip to understand the meaning behind his words and said, "Do you mean to blame me?"

Jiang Shunxiao chuckled: "I haven't been able to sleep so peacefully for a long time. I don't blame you, but I want to thank you."

Rong Yi smiled slightly, and they both stood up at the same time, calling the maid to come in and serve.

……

After breakfast, Shu Yong sent a letter. Jiang Shunxiao's face darkened and he took the letter to the study. Looking at his stern look, Rong Yi asked Shu Yong: "But what important letter is it?"

It was a matter of confidentiality, Shu Yong only said: "Madam, don't worry, the master will take care of it."

Rong Yi nodded and asked, "Is there any danger?"

Shu Yong said: "There won't be one at the moment." But it's hard to say in the future.

"Is it related to Mingyue and Cuisheng?"

Shu Yong was silent for a while, then looked at Rong Yi and said, "Madam, don't ask anymore. This is really a secret. I don't dare to talk nonsense."

Hearing this answer, Rong Yi's heart sank slightly, and she refused to ask too many questions. She smiled slightly and asked him to step back, but her heart was knotted.

He didn't answer his question directly just now. Was he asking the right question and it was indeed related to them?
……

Rong Yi half guessed that this incident was related to the murder of Mingyue and Cuisheng, but it had nothing to do with it.

When Jiang Shunxiao saw the contents of the letter, his heart felt as if he had been hit hard by a hammer. If it was just a guess two days ago, it is now certain that Yuan Bing has really lost contact...

No one knows his current situation. Is he hiding temporarily to avoid their eyes, or has he fallen into their hands?

What would happen if it had fallen into their hands.

At this moment, Shu Yong knocked on the door and came in with a serious look on his face. In their hands, it is still unclear whether Yuan Bing has been captured."

Jiang Shunxiao clenched the letter and listened to him again: "The lady asked just now and was very worried about the master, but the subordinate didn't say anything."

Jiang Shunxiao glanced at him, took a deep breath, and said: "I didn't want to hide it from her, but Mingyue and Cuisheng have had troubles one after another recently, so I still need to explain this matter clearly to her, but... don't tell her about Yuan Bing. "

Hearing this, Shu Yong's eyes flickered slightly. In fact, he had heard a little bit about Yuan Bing and his wife. But later, his wife followed his master and gave birth to two more young masters. The matter gradually faded away, and he only knew about it. No one among these few will deliberately mention it again. Now the master has specifically ordered him not to let the lady know about Yuan Bing... Could it be that the lady and Yuan Bing have not broken up yet?

……

　Good night everyone~
