The Hidden Beauty

Chapter 129 If I don’t marry her, how will she live in the future?

Meng Tingzhou's whole body was covered with mist from the rain. Jiang Shiwan walked over and carefully wiped the rain off his face.

"The rain is cold, I asked someone to prepare hot water for you to bathe."

Meng Tingzhou grabbed her wrist and said, "You haven't answered me yet, why are you here?"

Jiang Shiwan looked at her and said, "Isn't it my duty as a wife to welcome my husband home?"

Just this one sentence was enough to break Meng Tingzhou's defenses.

His eyes were burning: "Do you know what the consequences of saying this will be?"

Jiang Shiwan whispered in his ear: "After you left, Abielie has been looking for someone, and the person he is looking for is me."

Meng Tingzhou was stunned for a moment, then he understood.

It turned out that she was the Central Plains woman that Abel had always dreamed of.

No wonder she was waiting for me in public.

I guess he hopes to use this opportunity to resolve the awkward situation.

Meng Tingzhou let go of his hand, his eyes gradually turned cold: "You got into trouble and now you want to find me? Jiang Shiwan, what do you think of me?"

"Master Governor." Abiel said cheerfully, "The terrain in the northern border is rugged. I didn't expect you to find someone so quickly. You are worthy of being me!"

Abel's voice came from behind, and Meng Tingzhou clearly felt Jiang Shiwan's back startled.

Abelie saw Meng Tingzhou looking at the woman in front of him tenderly, and felt that the figure was somewhat familiar: "Who is this..."

Meng Tingzhou put his arm around Jiang Shiwan's shoulders affectionately and turned around: "My lord, this is my wife."

"Madam, this is the Turkic king."

Jiang Shiwan bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Seeing the woman he had been thinking about all the time, Abiel was naturally delighted, his eyes filled with an eager desire to possess her. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Meng Tingzhou being intimate with her, and his face froze: "This..."

Meng Tingzhou pretended to smile calmly and said, "My wife was not feeling well a few days ago and was resting, so she didn't have the opportunity to receive the king and the two princesses."

As he spoke, he lowered his head and smiled gently at Jiang Shiwan: "It's cold outside, go back and rest first. You don't have to wait for me to come back in the future."

Jiang Shiwan nodded.

Meng Tingzhou said to Abelie, "It's getting late, please settle down as soon as possible."

Abel smiled awkwardly.

He had heard that Meng Tingzhou had a woman named Jiang Shiwan, but he never thought that the woman he caught a glimpse of was her.

No wonder...

Meng Tingzhou held Jiang Shiwan's hand all the way back to the house.

His hands were soaked in rain and were very cold, but Jiang Shiwan couldn't break free.

The attendants came forward to help Meng Tingzhou change his clothes: "Please let the governor take a bath."

The candlelight highlighted Meng Tingzhou's muscular chest, without a single ounce of excess muscle on his body.

He said in a stiff tone: "Come in."

Jiang Shiwan knew that he should not anger him at this time, so he followed him into the bathroom silently.

The bathroom was filled with hot steam. Meng Tingzhou was immersed in the tub, closing his eyes and thinking about the scene just now.

He clearly saw surprise and fascination in Abel's eyes.

It seems that what Jiang Shiwan said is right.

She is the woman Abel is looking for.

After just one meeting, Abiel couldn't forget him, just like Lu Shangyuan from the tailor shop.

This woman is really too dazzling.

Jiang Shiwan took the initiative to pick up the melon ladle and poured it on his shoulders. Meng Tingzhou grabbed her hand and said, "Although Abelie is the king, the Turks have almost no sense of propriety, righteousness, and shame. If he finds you first, do you know what will happen, Mom?"

Abiel carried that primitive aura that reminded Jiang Shiwan of the late emperor he met when he was a child.

That undisguised look made her scalp tingle.

Seeing that she was trembling, Meng Tingzhou pulled her half way into the bathtub and asked, "Are you scared?"

"Yeah." Jiang Shiwan felt uncomfortable when he thought of Abielie, "I don't want to see him."

She spoke in a soft, almost pleading tone.

Meng Tingzhou had never seen her like this before, and he knew that she must be extremely uneasy.

He said to her half comfortingly and half commandingly: "From now on, no matter where you are, you can't go out alone. You must bring someone with you."

Thinking of Abiel's invading look, he felt very unhappy: "Let them go in a few days. You stay in the house and don't go out these days."

There are indeed many inconveniences in connecting the private residence of the Governor's Office with official business.

It seems that we need to separate as soon as possible.

Seeing Meng Tingzhou standing up from the bathtub, Jiang Shiwan wanted to get up: "I'll dry your body for you."

Meng Tingzhou clamped her hand and said, "What? You want to leave after you've used me?"

The bathroom was very warm. Meng Tingzhou stared at her intently. Her long eyelashes seemed to be covered with a fine layer of boiled water, and the ambiguity of desire filled the air.

Meng Tingzhou suddenly picked up Jiang Shiwan and held her against the edge of the bathtub, hugging her tightly: "When I think of those people having thoughts about you that they shouldn't have, I wish I could dig out their dog eyes!"

Whether out of anger or jealousy, his force was even more ferocious than usual.

Jiang Shiwan cried and begged for mercy several times until he had galloped to the end.

The two were extremely tired before they came out of the bathroom and went to the inner room.

Meng Tingzhou stroked her back and said, "Now that you are feeling better, I won't bring Ah You here tonight."

Jiang Shiwan really had no strength left and nodded randomly.

In the middle of the night, someone from Old Madam Meng's side came to tell her, "Governor, my cousin has a high fever and nightmares. I am so worried that I am crying. Please go over and take a look."

The sound of rain was very loud, but Meng Tingzhou could not hear it clearly. Seeing that Jiang Shiwan was sleeping soundly and seemed not to have been disturbed, he frowned unhappily, turned over and went to sleep inside.

The people outside thought he didn't hear it and raised their voices again.

Meng Tingzhou was afraid of waking up Jiang Shiwan, so he stood up and walked out, saying in a low voice: "What's the matter that brings you to see me in the middle of the night?"

The person who came was Nanny Chen, who was already soaking wet. She repeated what she had just said: "Governor, if it wasn't an emergency, I wouldn't dare to come to you now. The situation is really critical, so please go and take a look."

"The old lady is so anxious that she is at a loss."

Meng Tingzhou frowned and looked inside, then thought for a moment and said, "You go back first, I will go right away."

He changed his clothes, told Xueying and others not to wake up Jiang Shiwan, and then hurried to Madam Meng's residence.

Meng Shuyi's residence was next to Madam Meng's bedroom. All he could hear was Madam Meng sobbing, "Poor child, what should we do?"

Meng Tingzhou walked in: "Mother, how is Shu Yi?"

Madam Meng saw him coming and seemed to see hope. She immediately asked him to sit down: "Shu Yi is in a nightmare, and he keeps calling for his cousin. I heard that some people were frightened. It might be better to find a man to take charge."

Meng Tingzhou thought it was nonsense: "Mother, this is the only way Shu Yi can find Doctor Mei. Isn't it ridiculous for you to ask me to come and take charge in the middle of the night?"

"You are her cousin, isn't it your duty to take care of her?" Old Madam Meng said confidently, "Besides, Shu Yi came back naked, if you don't marry her, how will she live in the future?"
