The Hidden Beauty

Chapter 24 The Governor is Drunk
Lu Zheng led him into the pavilion, which was surrounded by rockery and gurgling water, as if it was isolated from the world.

He handed Meng Tingzhou a glass of wine: "This is the wine I have treasured for many years, you try it."

Meng Tingzhou took a sip and commented: "It's refreshing."

"Don't underestimate it." Lu Zheng clinked glasses with him, "It's quite potent, don't get drunk and come back to get scolded."

"By the way, is my sister-in-law strict?"

Looking at Lu Zheng's malicious eyes, Meng Tingzhou smiled faintly: "I rely on self-discipline."

"This is incredible!" Lu Zheng sighed, "I didn't expect the governor to be such a show-off."

Meng Tingzhou looked at him thoughtfully: "You will understand when you meet him."

Lu Zheng hugged his shoulders exaggeratedly: "Goodbye, I have goose bumps." The two of them rarely chatted together, so they couldn't help but drink a few glasses.

Later, Meng Tingzhou was a little drunk and patted Lu Zheng on the shoulder: "Because of her special status, the emperor will not allow it. When the child is born, I will definitely ask you to drink the full moon wine."

Lu Zheng put his arm around his shoulder and said, "Is she the sister you've been thinking about?"

"Yes, I finally married her, although the means were not very glorious, hehe." Meng Tingzhou's eyes were red, "but I believe that sincerity can lead to success."

Lu Zheng gave a thumbs up: "Brother, I heard that many women are reluctant to be with you at first, but they are completely devoted to you after giving birth to a child. If one is not enough, give birth to two!"

"Okay, I'll call you godfather when I give birth to my second baby."

"It's a deal, cheers!"

When Lu Jin came over after hearing the news, the two men were already drunk.

She shook her head: "Will the Left Governor get himself drunk?"

Lu Zheng saw her waving in a daze: "Before Tingzhou fell, he said that he would send him back. He was worried about his wife in the mansion. You, you...you send him back in person, and remember...give my sister-in-law...some gifts to apologize..."

Seeing that he was drunk and his speech was slurred, Lu Jin frowned and said with disgust: "Someone, send the young master back to his room to rest and give him some sobering soup."

He took Meng Tingzhou back home with his servant and maid.

Jiang Shiwan was quite surprised when she heard that Meng Tingzhou was carried back by someone, because in her impression, he was always restrained when he was outside.

When Yunshang and Xueying helped her out, they saw a few more boxes being carried in.

"What is this doing?"

Lu Jin walked in last. It was the first time she saw Jiang Shiwan and she was immediately struck by her beauty.

Although she is a little pregnant, it does not affect her appearance at all.

The lotus emerging from the water is beautiful and gorgeous.

"This is...my sister-in-law, right?"

"You are..." "I am Lu Zheng's sister Lu Jin. Today, the governor and my eldest brother drank a few more cups while reminiscing about the past. My eldest brother asked me to send the governor back. I hope my sister-in-law will accept this small gift."

"Lu Zheng is your elder brother? Do they know each other?"

Lu Jin rolled his eyes, wondering if he had said something wrong.
She smiled brightly: "I finally know why the governor shouted that he wanted to come back before he fell down drunk. My sister-in-law is really a fairy-like figure. Not to mention the governor, even a woman like me would be moved when I saw her."

"Let the governor accompany you to visit our Lu Mansion some other day. There are only two of us in our family, brother and sister, so there is no need for formalities."

Although it was the first time they met, Jiang Shiwan was attracted by Lu Jin's cheerfulness and straightforwardness.

She was completely different from the ladies from aristocratic families he had met.

He nodded and said, "Thank you for troubling Miss Lu today. The governor and I will definitely thank you in person someday."

If anyone wants to thank someone, it should be my sister-in-law." Lu Jin tried to look, "Thank you sister-in-law for helping me to vent my anger."

What she was referring to was naturally the resentment that the Duke's Mansion wanted her to be his second wife.

The two smiled at each other.

"Madam." Pei Qing and Yu Feng finally carried Meng Tingzhou back and came out to look for her. "The governor seems to be drunk and keeps talking about you."

Jiang Shiwan looked at Lu Jin. After they said goodbye, she returned to the main house and frowned: "Send someone to clean the governor's body." "Meimei..." Meng Tingzhou seemed to hear her voice and waved, "Come here."

Jiang Shiwan walked over and said, "You drank too much. Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Meng Tingzhou grabbed her hand and pressed it against his chest: "It hurts here."

Jiang Shiwan's face turned slightly red.

The maid behind him retreated silently and closed the door.

Jiang Shiwan wanted to ask him a few questions, but seeing that he looked drunk, he could only patiently say, "I'll wipe it for you. I'm not feeling well, so please cooperate."

Her movements were gentle and Meng Tingzhou cooperated.

"Meimei, you're so nice to me." Meng Tingzhou looked at her and said to himself, "As long as I see you, I won't be angry anymore."

Jiang Shiwan ignored him. A drunk person doesn't know what nonsense he is saying.

She helped him drink the hangover soup. Meng Tingzhou put his arm around her shoulders and whispered in her ear, "Meimei, do you know? You are my best hangover remedy."

After being together for so long, Jiang Shiwan naturally knew what he meant and refused: "I am pregnant and it is inconvenient for me to serve the governor."

His voice became even lower: "I asked Doctor Mei, and he said that you have been pregnant for nearly four months, so you can be fine..."

He turned her body sideways with her back facing him and kissed her earlobes, collarbone, and chin...

A pair of big hands unbuttoned her clothes, and then the warm palms swept over every inch of her skin, and when they reached her slightly protruding belly, he suddenly smiled: "You have grown a bit."

Without stopping for too long, he continued to explore.

"Um...don't..."

Jiang Shiwan's refusal aroused his surging desire. He grasped her shoulders with one hand and pressed the other hand under her waist, half hugging and half pressing her up.

It was not until Jiang Shiwan collapsed in his arms that Meng Tingzhou sobered up a lot.

He ordered some water, and after everything was cleaned up, he saw that the woman on the bed was still silent and hesitant.

"Meimei..." He knew he had done something ridiculous and felt a little upset. "I drank some wine and got a little drunk...did I hurt you..."

"Do you know Lu Zheng?"

"Ah."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I was afraid you would think I arranged this on purpose, but I really didn't know you had looked for him before."

Jiang Shiwan lowered his eyes and looked out the window: "If Lu Jin hadn't sent you back today, I still wouldn't know about this. How long do you plan to keep it a secret from me?"

"I didn't intend to hide it from you." Meng Tingzhou raised his hand to the sky, "but I didn't find the right opportunity."

Jiang Shiwan glanced at him and said, "To be honest, I don't know which of your words are credible and which are not."

"I won't do that next time. I'll tell you the first time, no matter if it's appropriate or not."

"And something else." Jiang Shiwan stammered, "I have something to tell you."

Meng Tingzhou leaned over and took the initiative to move forward, his cheek almost touching her lips: "What?"

"Next time you get drunk, go to the study." Jiang Shiwan rubbed her belly, "I can't serve you until the baby is born safely."

Meng Tingzhou was stunned, but seeing Jiang Shiwan's fixed gaze he could only nod.

It’s all Lu Zheng’s fault!

"I listen to you, can you give me a reward?"

"..."
