The Hidden Beauty

Chapter 58: The Young Master...

On the day Liu Huining entered the Governor's Mansion, when he took the teacup from her and heard her reluctantly call him "sister", Jiang Shiwan could feel her loss.
The incident happened so suddenly that the Governor's Office didn't even have time to hang up lanterns.

She must have never thought that as the daughter of the Chief Justice, she would get married in such a sloppy way.

But the Dali Temple had lost such an important case file as the Ministry of War case. If they couldn't find that case file, her father would never be able to turn things around.

She had no choice but to obey the order and get married quietly.

She once laughed at herself for entering the Governor's Mansion without a formal marriage, but how was her marriage different from hers?

Seeing her grievance and unwillingness, Meng Tingzhou comforted her a little: "Huining, this happened suddenly, and many things have not been prepared yet. But the place you live in has been almost cleaned up, almost the same as your boudoir in Liu's mansion."

"The governor is thoughtful."

"It's not my fault, it's all my sister's fault."

She nodded: "Thank you, sister."

Jiang Shiwan supported her and said, "This is what I should do. You are tired too. Let someone take you downstairs to rest."

Liu Huining took a few steps, turned around and looked at Meng Tingzhou who was standing there: "My husband, aren't you leaving?"

Jiang Shiwan secretly pushed him, and he stepped forward leisurely: "I'll take you there."

After they left, Xue Ying muttered quietly, "This new lady changed her tone really quickly. She just called me governor, and now she's calling me husband."

Seeing her rolling her eyes, Yun Shang quickly covered her mouth: "You, you..."

Xueying said angrily: "I just... I just feel unhappy."

In her eyes, the governor and his wife had such a good relationship. His wife didn't talk much, but she never blamed the servants. How come a new wife suddenly came to the mansion?
Jiang Shiwan looked at the departing figure and gradually fell into deep thought.

"Madam..." Yu Feng walked in, "The young master has been making a fuss today for some reason. The nurse is helpless. Would you like to ask a doctor to take a look?"

"I'll go over and take a look right away."

Before I even entered the yard, I heard Ayou's intermittent crying.

Jiang Shiwan's heart tightened: "What's wrong?"

The nurse looked anxious: "He was whimpering this morning. I thought he was hungry, so I fed him some porridge, but he vomited it all."

Jiang Shiwan touched her forehead and said, "It doesn't seem to be hot." She ordered, "Go get Doctor Mei."

Ah You threw himself on her, and she hugged him. Seeing that his face was indeed not very good, she felt distressed: "Ah You, be good, mommy hug you."

After Doctor Mei came and took his pulse, he looked at his tongue coating and looked through his clothes. Only then did Jiang Shiwan discover that there were many tiny blisters on Ayou's back.

Her expression suddenly changed: "This..."

Doctor Mei then stood up and said, "Madam, I'm afraid the young master has boils."

"Boils?"

"Yes, this disease is easily contagious. I'm afraid that everyone in Shiyun Pavilion needs to cover their faces with veils. The most important thing is that we must not let the young master see the wind."

Doctor Mei instructed: "Water sores are prone to itching, remember to keep an eye on the young master and don't let him scratch himself."

"You can boil some mung bean soup for him to clear away the heat, and use honeysuckle to bathe him. In addition, if he can't bear it, you can apply cactus juice on his body. I will also prescribe some other soup medicine."

Jiang Shiwan was most concerned about Ah You: "Is the child okay?" "Madam, please be patient. Although this boil is extremely itchy, I have experience in treating it before. If you take good care of him, the young master will surely be safe."

Although Doctor Mei said this, Jiang Shiwan knew that there were cases of people dying from water sores without treatment, so he was naturally very worried.

"Yu Feng, order the blockade of Shiyun Pavilion. No one is allowed to go out."

Jiang Shiwan arranged the arrangements in an orderly manner: "Yunchang, you prepare the medicine for bathing. Xueying, you must boil the medicine yourself and no one else is allowed to do it."

"Yes, ma'am."

When Liu Huining and Meng Tingzhou returned to Huiyun Pavilion, she saw that this place was to the west of the Governor's Mansion and very far away from the front hall. She felt unhappy but still forced herself to endure it.

Meng Tingzhou didn't seem to notice: "If there is anything missing, just tell Meimei and she will buy it for you."

Although she was a co-wife, Liu Huining felt inferior even before she got married. She was always strong-willed and tears welled up in her eyes: "Husband..."

Meng Tingzhou frowned slightly: "Why are you crying?"

"My dear, can I have a favor to ask?"

"You said."

"I know the reason why I am marrying into the Governor's Mansion today, but I think marriage is a once-in-a-lifetime event and I really don't want to have too many regrets." Liu Huining persuaded her with emotion and reason, "Madam, can you join me in the wedding ceremony?"

Meng Tingzhou instinctively refused: "Huining, you should know that the emperor means to keep everything simple."

Seeing that he rejected her, Liu Huining said with a sad tone, "I understand. I just hope that my husband can tolerate me this time. After the wedding ceremony, my husband doesn't need to accompany me today. You can go to work or accompany my sister."

"Just fulfill my little wish." Liu Huining almost begged, "Husband, can you?"

Meng Tingzhou knew that he couldn't refuse and would arouse her vigilance, so after thinking for a while, he nodded in agreement.

Liu Huining was so happy that she cried: "Thank you, husband."

Nanny Qin, who came with her as a dowry, asked the two of them to sit on the bed together and presented them with a gourd that was tied in half with a ribbon. When the two of them held the gourds, the maid poured them wine.

Nanny Qin said with a smile: "The governor and his wife each drank from the cup, and from now on they will share the joys and sorrows and hardships together."

Liu Huining looked at Meng Tingzhou with a full gaze as he drank it all in one gulp: "Husband, drink it."

Meng Tingzhou moved his lips, but found it difficult to swallow.

Just as he was about to refuse, Pei Qing's anxious voice came from outside: "Commander-in-chief, this is bad, the young master..."

Before Pei Qing finished speaking, Meng Tingzhou spilled the wine in his hand all over the floor and immediately stood up: "What's wrong with Ah You?"

The people outside stopped Pei Qing and said, "Today is the wedding day of the Madam and the Governor. How dare you barge in? Get out!"

Meng Tingzhou had already walked out and glanced at the people present sternly: "This is the Governor's Mansion, not your Liu Mansion, where you can run wild as you please! If you don't follow the rules of the Governor's Mansion, I will kill everyone!"

Liu Huining chased him out, and seeing that he was furious, he explained hastily, "Husband, calm down. A maid who married with you doesn't know the rules. I will teach her a lesson."

Seeing him coming out, Pei Qing shook off the maid who tried to pull him away, looking anxious: "Commander-in-chief, the young master..."

He didn't know if he could rashly tell the young master about his illness, so he had to change the wording: "Something happened at Shiyun Pavilion, the governor should go and take a look."
