The Hidden Beauty

Chapter 49: A little kindness is enough

Jiang Shiwan turned his head away abruptly: "Actually, I am no different from the woman next door."

Meng Tingzhou, who was kissing her cheek, suddenly stopped and half-sat up, retracting his burning gaze and turning cold: "You want to humiliate yourself, but I'm not doing this for others to see."

Jiang Shiwan straightened his open collar.

"If you like him, everyone in the capital will say that the governor favors Jiang Shiwan, the daughter of a criminal. If you don't like him anymore, everyone in the capital will know that you and I are just a passing cloud."

Hearing her words, Meng Tingzhou actually smiled playfully: "Why, are you jealous? Jiang Shiwan, if you don't want another woman to enter the Governor's Mansion, you can just tell me directly."

"How can I spoil the good things that the princess has arranged? I still have only one thing to say: do not affect Ah You no matter what."

"He may not be the heir of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, but he cannot be raised by others, especially Liu Huining."

Meng Tingzhou lifted her chin and said with a click of the tongue: "Ayou is my legitimate son, I will naturally treat him with care, and I know who is the most suitable person to raise him. You disdain everything I give you, so what qualifications do you have to negotiate with me?"

"What if I tell you that Liu Huining is not as harmless as he seems? Although I don't have complete evidence, I know that Liu Yuhai is definitely involved in my father's affairs."

She revealed a little-known secret: "Liu Yuhai has long suffered from eye problems, so Liu Huining often did the writing for him."

Some bold ideas were surging in Jiang Shiwan's heart.

Hearing her telling the story, Meng Tingzhou had a blank expression on his face, but he felt happy in his heart.

I had been fanning the flames for so long just to force her to open up to me, and my efforts finally paid off.

Isn't this a disguised way of showing goodwill to Jiang Shiwan?

Meng Tingzhou stroked her hair gently and said, "Everything should be based on evidence. If you have any doubts, bring out the evidence."

Jiang Shiwan bit his lip: "Give me some time."

Meng Tingzhou clapped his hands and said, "What a coincidence. I have already suggested that you take care of Liu Huining's marriage. You still have three months to investigate. If you find out, Ayou will never leave you."

"What if I can't find out?"

Meng Tingzhou glanced at him and said, "Only success is allowed, failure is not allowed."

After the two returned to Wanyuan, Pei Qing saw that Meng Tingzhou looked a little happy, so he guessed something: "Have the governor and his wife reconciled?"

"She had previously guessed that Liu Huining was not a simple person, and suspected that Liu Huining might have something to do with her father's death."

Meng Tingzhou propped up his head with great satisfaction, "Let Jiang Shiwan investigate it herself. If she can find out, it will be her ability."

Pei Qing restrained his expression and said, "Madam, just a little bit of kindness will satisfy the governor."

Seeing Meng Tingzhou glaring at him fiercely, he immediately kept silent.

But I thought in my heart that I didn't even need my wife to give me any sweet treats. I would be happy enough if she just gave me a way out.

He didn't understand why the governor, who was known for his ruthless and ruthless conduct, was so abnormal in love affairs, or was it because he had not yet experienced the feeling?
Meng Tingzhou didn't know he was complaining in his heart, and he said thoughtfully: "Yuan Yang and Yuan Ming will arrive in the capital soon, let them protect the lady in secret."

Pei Qing was surprised: "Yuan Yang and Yuan Ming are coming back?"

After the border battle, Yuan Yang and Yuan Ming did not return to Beijing with the army. Instead, they were sent to supervise the completion of the Governor's Office on the border.

Now that the two of them are about to return, I guess things have been done well.

"Commander-in-chief, do we need to deal with the border situation?"

"After this busy period, let Yuanyang and Yuanming go to the border."

Pei Qing seemed worried: "Commander-in-chief, is there really no other way except retreating to the border?"

"We are lucky to be able to escape successfully." Meng Tingzhou fiddled with the ring on his thumb, "I am afraid that the emperor will become suspicious and it will be difficult to retreat."

Seeing Pei Qing's serious expression, Meng Tingzhou cleared his throat and said, "Make sure Yu Feng takes good care of Ah You. There must not be any mistakes."

As they were talking, Yu Feng came in and said, "Commander-in-chief, Madam wants you to come over to discuss something." "Oh?" Meng Tingzhou couldn't hide his surprise, but considering that there were people present, he pretended to be cold and reserved, "What's the matter?"

"Madam didn't say."

When Meng Tingzhou went to find Jiang Shiwan, she was feeding Ayou with her back to her.

He frowned and said, "He's almost one year old now. I think he's grown strong and can be weaned slowly."

"Rice flour and milk are gradually being added."

"I was born a military commander, so you should raise him roughly. How can he endure hardships in the future if he is so delicate?"

"It was difficult to raise Ah You, so we made sure he had a good physical foundation when he was young so that he could withstand hardships in the future."

What she said seemed to make sense.

"Why did you come to me?"

Jiang Shiwan handed the fed Ah You to the wet nurse, fastened the jade buttons and turned around.

"Lu Jin and Lu Zheng's wedding is coming up soon. Lu Jin is a little nervous. Lu Zheng is busy with all sorts of matters and has no time to take care of her. She asked someone to bring me a letter, asking me to stay at the Lu Mansion for a few days."

"Do you think I should take Ah You with me or leave him to you?"

Meng Tingzhou raised his eyebrows: "You are not discussing with me, you are informing me."

"I am asking for your opinion, Lord Governor. Are you sincere enough? If you are worried, you can go with me."

Meng Tingzhou also wanted to go, but he had other things to deal with and couldn't get away for the time being.

"Take Ah You with you first. I will go to the Lu Mansion after I finish dealing with things here."

Meng Tingzhou seemed worried, "I'll ask someone to go with you."

He was really worried about Ah You leaving his area, but if the mother and child were separated, he was afraid that her milk supply would be blocked and cause a fever.

After Meng Tingzhou left, Yun Shang was somewhat pleased: "The governor and his wife seem to be a little different after they went out."

Jiang Shiwan said with a slight frown: "If we follow his wishes, maybe life will be a little easier."

By showing off a little cleverness and doing business with others, I actually became the kind of person I once despised.

The next morning, after packing their luggage, Jiang Shiwan, along with Ayou and dozens of attendants, headed to Lu's Mansion in a mighty manner.

When I went out, I saw Meng Tingzhou also getting ready to go out.

Today he was wearing a green silk arrow coat, which made his figure look even more upright.

The two met at the door. Meng Tingzhou hugged Ah You and asked, "Are you going to ride and shoot?"

Meng Tingzhou responded, then ordered his entourage to serve carefully, then rode away on his black horse.

Xueying couldn't help but sigh: "The governor and Guard Pei look so handsome in their arrow jackets!"

"It seems the governor has asked Miss Liu to go horseback riding together."

The person who spoke was Pei Qing.

After he said this, he found that the people around him were glancing at him strangely, and he glanced at his wife who was talking nonsense beside him.

He knew he had said something wrong: "Maybe I was talking nonsense. Maybe it wasn't Miss Liu, but another girl."

　Dudu is like you and me who have been in love before, expecting the other party to respond to everything, expecting that he is unique, and jealousy is hard to control. Sometimes he makes up his mind to be bolder, and when he sees the other party showing weakness or trying to please him, he feels that he is loved. Over and over again, worrying about gains and losses, the true meaning of this is only known by oneself.
