The Hidden Beauty

Chapter 14: Return to Beijing by Water
"Governor, it's getting late. You should leave."

This time, Meng Tingzhou took the risk and headed south from the border. Pei Qing knew what the consequences would be if he was discovered to have abandoned his post.

Meng Tingzhou only had half a day to stay.

He asked Doctor Mei: "The governor wants her to return to Beijing to recuperate."

"Commander-in-chief, this is too risky." Doctor Mei bowed with both hands. "Miss Jiang's pregnancy is too unstable. She will be bumpy all the way from north to south. I'm afraid..."

"What if we go by water? I will send a single ship, and the people on board will be just like on the ground."

Doctor Mei hesitated for a while and said, "This arrangement is safe. Everything in the Governor's Mansion, whether it's daily living or medicinal materials, is of the best quality... But... I still can't guarantee it..."

Seeing him hesitating, Meng Tingzhou shouted softly, "Speak!"

"General, I am incompetent and have not yet been able to save the fetus in my belly. I hope you will forgive me."

"I heard that first pregnancy is more difficult."

"You don't know, the governor, Miss Jiang's back injury has not healed yet, which means her body is not strong enough. It is too risky to get pregnant. Anything, such as walking, bumping, or even sneezing, could cause a disaster."

Meng Tingzhou's face was covered with dark clouds, gloomy and heavy.

Before, wanting her to have a baby was a form of coercion and coercion, but when they really knew that she was pregnant with their child, the spontaneous pride and expectation took over everything.

Maybe they will have other children in the future, but this is their legitimate son and is destined to be different.

"What if you don't want this child?"

Doctor Mei looked at him in shock: "Governor..."

"We will have a child eventually. The most urgent thing is to make sure she gets well first."

Doctor Mei shook his head and said, "If it is possible, I will not make it difficult. However, the fetus in the womb is connected to the mother. If I abandon the fetus, I am afraid Miss Jiang will bleed to death."

Meng Tingzhou suppressed the pain deep in his chest and clenched his fists: "Doctor Mei, as long as you can save her, I will use my life to ensure that your Mei family will be safe and prosperous."

Doctor Mei knelt down and said, "I have the audacity to tell you about the danger we are facing. I hope the governor will forgive me."

"Pei Qing." Meng Tingzhou waved his hand. "When we return to Beijing this time, we must follow Doctor Mei's instructions first and protect her."

When Pei Qing heard that he was being asked to stay, he couldn't help but feel worried: "The commander-in-chief is going back to the border alone, and I am worried..."

"You and Yufeng are the people I trust the most, so you must escort them safely." He turned and walked in.

Jiang Shiwan had already woken up and was not surprised to see it was him.

Meng Tingzhou walked to the side and leaned over: "I have arranged everything. We will take a boat back to Beijing tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Pei Qing and Yu Feng will protect you."

Jiang Shiwan glanced at him. He didn't expect that he would keep Pei Qing and Yu Feng. "They are the people you trust the most."

"You stayed because of trust. This way I can feel more at ease." Meng Tingzhou patted her shoulder lightly, "You have suffered because of this child."

Jiang Shiwan's eyes suddenly turned red, perhaps because of the morning sickness that had been causing him so much discomfort, or because of the fact that he had to go back to the Governor's Mansion.

Seeing her like this, Meng Tingzhou tried his best to resist the urge to hug her. In her eyes, he was abusing his power to oppress others, and any action he took now might irritate her.

"On the way back to Beijing, take care of your health first. If you feel any discomfort, just tell Doctor Mei." Meng Tingzhou gave a few simple instructions and left in a hurry.

Jiang Shinian didn't expect that they would be separated again after just two days of reunion. He knelt in front of Jiang Shiwan's bed and said, "Sister, do you really want to give birth to a child for that man?"

"Xiao Nian, you should know that I am connected with this child, and we will live and die together." "What about Brother Song? What about him?"

Compared to the Left General who used his status to bully others, he preferred someone like Song Huaizhi to be his brother-in-law.

Jiang Shiwan said solemnly: "Xiao Nian, you must remember that from the moment the Jiang family fell, you and I can no longer live willfully. Don't have those thoughts that you shouldn't have."

"Don't be angry, sister. I will listen to you." Jiang Shinian was now very afraid of the majesty of this elder sister. "Don't be angry either. I heard from Doctor Mei that you can't be provoked."

Jiang Shiwan sighed: "Xiao Nian, I can't bring you with me when I return to Beijing this time. You should follow Brother Song back to Jiangning."

Jiang Shinian wanted to ask why, but when he met Jiang Shiwan's cold gaze, he could only nod: "Okay, I'll listen to my sister."

When Song Huaizhi took Jiang Shinian away, he did not say goodbye. Jiang Shiwan guessed that Meng Tingzhou must have ordered him not to get close to him again.

In fact, this is not entirely a bad thing.

She always felt guilty towards Song Huaizhi.

When facing him, she felt so guilty that she was at a loss.

In order to prevent Jiang Shiwan from moving, Doctor Mei ordered Pei Qing, Yu Feng and others to prepare a special sedan chair that could just accommodate one person.

When heading from the house to the ship, Jiang Shiwan was carried into a sedan chair and then directly sent to the cabin lying down.

Really achieved the goal of not touching the ground.

Fearing that she would be bored along the way, Pei Qing and Yu Feng even found a maid who could hum music and dance to cheer her up.

Through the screen, Yu Feng heard the maid named Xiao Ran who was singing till her voice was hoarse but still persisting, and he felt a little sympathetic towards her.

"Pei Qing, do you want to add another maid? Xiao Ran's voice will become like a duck's if she keeps going down like this."

Pei Qing looked straight ahead: "One more person means one more hidden danger. She will have to work hard these days."

Yu Feng shook his head. "Same person, different fate. The governor is fighting at the border, and we are here to serve his wife and children. Don't tell me, I am a little envious of the baby in her belly. It's only a little baby, but every day there are special maids singing and dancing for it to entertain it."

"The governor, even though his father has earned so much fame and wealth, doesn't he deserve this treatment?"

Pei Qing, who was serious, couldn't help but curl his lips when he heard what he said: "Maybe the governor is happy with it."

Yu Feng's eyes moved, and he patted his chest: "You are right, maybe the governor is fighting fiercely at this moment, after all, there is a successor, just thinking about it makes me motivated."

In his dream, Meng Tingzhou vaguely saw a graceful figure waving at him.

He seemed a little agitated, and walked towards her: "It's you."

Jiang Shiwan took the initiative to take off his outer clothes and said in a seductive voice: "Call me Meimei."

He swallowed the saliva in his throat and called hoarsely: "Meimei, Meimei..."

Her cherry lips took the initiative to cover his lips, and before he could get enough, it had already slowly moved down her throat.

He was so aroused that he couldn't help but close his eyes: "Meimei... give it to me..."

The accumulated desire suddenly burst out.

Meng Tingzhou suddenly opened his eyes and half sat up, only to feel a mess under him and realize it was a dream.

Dudu: Poor me, I can only call my wife by her nickname in my dreams, sob…
