The Hidden Beauty

Chapter 127 The Jealous Woman

Meng Tingzhou stared at her: "You don't believe me?"

Jiang Shiwan's body was burning, and he felt dizzy and his brain was unable to think: "I will believe whatever you say."

"you……"

She was so exhausted that she lay down. Her face, covered with black hair and tired expression, was really pitiful.

Meng Tingzhou walked out: "Pei Qing, do you know what happened last night?"

Pei Qing was confused: "Commander-in-chief, what's the problem?"

"Where did I stay last night? Where did the old lady stay?"

"Didn't the governor sleep in the old lady's room all night?"

Meng Tingzhou glanced at him: "Are you sure?"

Pei Qing clasped his fists and said, "Last night the old lady said that you had gone to bed, and told me to wait outside the courtyard, so... I don't know the situation in the room."

Seeing Meng Tingzhou's expression was unclear, Pei Qing realized that something was wrong: "Commander-in-chief, what's wrong?"

"Go check where Meng Shuyi was last night."

"This..." Pei Qing was a little embarrassed, "I'm afraid it will be difficult to check with the old lady."

Meng Tingzhou narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the cold starlight in the distance: "Be more careful, check as much as you can."

Jiang Shiwan slept very soundly and had many chaotic dreams.

When she woke up, it was still dark and the house was quiet inside and outside.

The floor heating made her feel uncomfortable with the heat. She opened the window and saw a cold moon hanging in the sky. A gust of cool wind blew in, which was very refreshing.

Xue Ying heard the noise and asked, "Madam, are you awake?"

"I couldn't sleep, so I wanted to go out for a walk."

"I will prepare it right away."

"No need, I want to take a walk by myself, just outside the yard."

Jiang Shiwan rejected Xueying's intention to follow him, put on a cloak and quietly walked out the door.

She walked around alone, and her mind gradually became clearer, and her originally restless heart also calmed down.

She sat alone by the lake, and a voice in her heart asked herself.

Jiang Shiwan, are you going to indulge in love and forget about hatred?
Suspicion, reluctance, anxiety about gains and losses...

Is it worth it for a man?
Jiang Shiwan shook his head painfully: "No..."

"Are you okay?" A strange voice suddenly came from behind.

Jiang Shiwan suddenly looked back and saw it was a man, and immediately became alert.

The Turkic king Abelik did not come closer, but looked at the woman in front of him with interest from a distance of several dozen steps.

The white fox fur on her cloak obscured her features a little, but it was not difficult to see that she was a stunning beauty.

"I am a guest of the Governor's Mansion. Who are you?"

When she heard that he was a guest from the Governor's Mansion, Jiang Shiwan thought of the Turkic king's visit in recent days. The man in front of her was wearing foreign clothes, but could not hide his kingly aura. She immediately understood.

Jiang Shiwan bowed and said, "Greetings to the Turkic King."

Abiel didn't expect that she would guess his identity right away, and he became more interested in her: "What a smart woman, who are you? Can you give me a hint? So that I can guess it too?"

Jiang Shiwan endured the unhappiness of being offended and bowed her head and said, "I will take my leave."

There was no one around here, and she was afraid that the Turkic king would catch up with her, so she secretly quickened her pace.

Meng Tingzhou was about to go out to look for her, but when he saw her, he stopped and said with a little displeasure: "Why did you go out alone?"

Jiang Shiwan calmed down from his previous vague uneasiness and said, "It's too hot in the room, I'm going to go out for some fresh air." "You have to bring someone with you when you go out. The Governor's Office has just been established, and official duties and home residences have not yet been completely separated. It's always unsafe."

Jiang Shiwan said, "Hmm," "I understand."

Meng Tingzhou thought she was not feeling well because of her obedient appearance, so he reached out and touched her forehead: "Are you still not feeling well?"

Jiang Shiwan dodged gently: "Much better."

His hand hit nothing and froze in mid-air.

Meng Tingzhou's throat was dry, and he took a breath: "Whether you believe it or not, I have already asked Pei Qing to check. I did sleep on the couch in my mother's room that night, and I didn't lie to you."

His eyes were sincere, without any evasion: "If you don't believe me, you can ask Pei Qing. I also promise you that I will try to avoid Shu Yi in the future."

Jiang Shiwan nodded: "No need to ask, I believe you."

Meng Tingzhou looked at her and asked, "Really?"

"real."

She didn't want to continue to be deeply involved in the relationship and lose her direction.

Must wake up.

Jiang Shiwan took the initiative to put his arm around him: "Would you like to eat something together?"

Meng Tingzhou was surprised by the contrast between her before and after, and felt a little confused, but smiled and said, "Okay."

He kind of couldn't understand jealous women.

Although being jealous shows that she cares about me, the process is really torturous.

So he asked Pei Qing to find out overnight.

While eating, Meng Tingzhou said, "I received news that since the eldest princess married the Turks, Shen Yunqi, the prince consort, has been too embarrassed to stay in the capital and has disappeared."

"The Duke's Mansion is doomed. Shen Yunqi is a scheming man. Who knows what he will do. You should be careful in everything you do."

Jiang Shiwan paused with the spoon in his hand: "You mean... he might come to the North?"

Meng Tingzhou said calmly: "I just guessed that this is possible."

Shen Yunqi has fallen from a favored child of heaven to this state, there is no guarantee that he will not hold a grudge against Jiang Shiwan.

"And more." Meng Tingzhou's tone was calm, "I heard that the emperor is in poor health, and the court only follows Song Huaizhi's lead."

Hearing this, Jiang Shiwan knew that the day for him to return to Beijing was not far away.

Song Huaizhi finally did it.

Meng Tingzhou saw that she looked indifferent and nonchalant: "You don't seem surprised."

Jiang Shiwan pursed his lips and said, "When I arrived in the northern border, I found that I was very far away from the capital."

After half an hour of eating, Meng Tingzhou stood up and said, "The Turkic king Abelie asked me to go hunting. I wanted to take you with me. Since you are not feeling well, you should rest for a while. I will try to come back as soon as possible."

Jiang Shiwan stood up and saw him off: "Be careful on your way."

Seeing that she still looked unwell, Meng Tingzhou asked with concern, "I heard that you asked Doctor Mei to prescribe medicine for you casually yesterday? Do you want Doctor Mei to come and see you today?"

"I'm almost well now. Maybe the fever has just subsided." Jiang Shiwan touched his face. "Don't worry. If you feel uncomfortable, I'll ask Doctor Mei to come and see you."

"You haven't eaten anything yet, don't force yourself." Meng Tingzhou held her hand and leaned close to her ear, "I'll come back to accompany you as soon as possible."

"it is good."

After watching him leave, Jiang Shiwan felt nauseous when he saw the table full of food. He frowned and ordered, "Everyone, clear out."

When Meng Shuyi received the news that Meng Tingzhou had left the house, he confirmed with the maid again: "Are you sure that my cousin and the Turkic king did not take my cousin's wife with them?"

"It is absolutely true that this servant was guarding the door."

Meng Shuyi thought about it for a moment, then stood up and said, "Tell my aunt that I need to go out of the house."
