The Hidden Beauty

Chapter 88 Slender Waist

Jiang Shiwan didn't expect her to come so quickly, and said calmly: "This is my husband's cousin, Miss Cousin, and this is Madam Ning."

Meng Shuling bowed and said, "Hello, Madam Ning."

Hearing that this was Meng Tingzhou's cousin, Liu Huining was not in a position to turn his face away in front of her: "The young master is the governor's legitimate son, and the cousin has just arrived. It seems inappropriate to let her take care of him."

Jiang Shiwan asked Meng Shuling to go down and rest first. After she left, she said, "My husband thinks it's OK. If my sister thinks it's not OK, she can go find my husband herself."

Seeing her clean up, Liu Huining curled his lips and said, "The emperor asked me to take care of the young master, but my sister changed him rashly. Have you informed the emperor?"

Jiang Shiwan frowned slightly: "You are so thoughtful. My husband is going to the palace to meet His Majesty right now. I don't know if he remembered to report it to His Majesty. If you are worried, just wait for him to come back and ask him."

Having said that, she was about to get up.

"Jiang Shiwan, are you so unwilling to let me take care of the young master, or are you afraid that I will snatch your child away?"

Jiang Shiwan only hated that his hands were injured and he couldn't move, otherwise he really wanted to slap her in the face.

She turned around and frowned for a few moments: "Liu Huining, if I were you, I would take this opportunity to take good care of Ah You, instead of being so impatient and rushing to attack him."

Liu Huining's expression changed: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Ayou was born prematurely and has always been weak. You knew that he couldn't eat raw or cold food, but you still gave him cold milk, which caused him to have diarrhea. Isn't this just because you can't control your temper?"

"Do you think a cousin will treat your son sincerely?" Liu Huining's eyes were like poison. "Meng Shuling and my husband grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Their feelings are several times stronger than those of the previous Imperial Concubine Lin Tingyi."

"Are you sure this isn't inviting a wolf into the house?"

Jiang Shiwan didn't know what happened between Meng Shuning and Meng Tingzhi. She frowned slightly when she heard this: "I don't mind having one more wife or even a concubine in the Governor's Mansion."

"you!"

Liu Huining knew that he had to hold back at this moment, because it wouldn't be long before he could push Jiang Shiwan into an irretrievable situation.

A heavy shadow was cast in her eyes, and she sneered: "Yes, you are Jiang Shiwan, but you have to revive the Jiang family's glory."

Jiang Shiwan looked up suddenly: "What do you want to say?"

Liu Huining walked around her slowly. "Shouldn't you know what I want to say? Do you think you can bring me down and the Dali Temple by stealing the case files of the Ministry of War? Jiang Shiwan, you are too naive."

Jiang Shiwan showed a vigilant expression: "How do you know..."

Liu Huining whispered in her ear: "Next time you hide something, you have to hide it better."

Without her saying it, Jiang Shiwan knew that she had taken the military files. His face turned pale. "You tried every possible means to lure me into the palace just to take those things away?"

"That's not the case. I finally got the chance to get close to the young master. I will not miss any evidence when searching Shiyun Pavilion."

Liu Huining said contentedly, "Just wait. Soon the emperor will once again reveal the details of the military case and seal the case file. There will be no chance of overturning the case. By then, you won't have to run around for your father anymore."

"Sister, you should take good care of your injuries so that you can have the strength to endure what is coming next."

Looking at Liu Huining's triumphant expression, Jiang Shiwan felt that the situation was hopeless and sat down dejectedly.

After she left, Yunshang and Xueying brought in food.

"Ma'am, would you like something to eat?"

Jiang Shiwan came back to his senses and took a breath: "Eat. Only when you are full will you have the strength to deal with these people."

Yunshang and Xueying looked at each other and smiled. When Meng Tingzhou came back from the palace, he couldn't help but want to go see her.

Jiang Shiwan didn't sleep, but leaned on the pillow and looked at the canary in the cage.

He walked in, his eyes slightly dazed: "Do you like this bird?"

Knowing from his demeanor that he had been drinking, Jiang Shiwan sneered: "Are you healed? Can you drink now?"

Meng Tingzhou half-lay down beside her, and put his arm around her shoulder: "The emperor called it a reward for me, how could I refuse it?"

"What reward do you have?"

Meng Tingzhou said in a deep voice: "The emperor will soon list the Ministry of War, the Dali Temple, and the Governor's Office as the three departments, intending to weaken the power of the Governor's Office."

"what do you say?"

"Of course I agreed. If I didn't agree, how could His Majesty reward me?"

Seeing her suspicious eyes, Meng Tingzhou laughed, and his slightly drunken cheek touched her forehead: "In a few days, I will ask to go to the northern border to garrison. Only in the northern border can we have a chance of survival."

Thinking about what he had been through these days, Jiang Shiwan suddenly understood something: "You are..."

"Meimei, I can't just surrender." Maybe it was because of the alcohol, Meng Tingzhou opened his heart and said, "If I continue to stay in the capital, my power will be weakened little by little, and I will be trapped in a jar in the end."

"If he can spare my life, I will definitely protect the North." His eyes revealed a fierce look, "But if he can't tolerate me, I will never sit and wait for death."

Jiang Shiwan's heart suddenly started beating faster. She looked up to see him more clearly, but he took the opportunity to cover the corner of her soft mouth. With a faint smell of alcohol, he licked her sweetness.

"Well……"

He knew that she couldn't move her hands, so he placed his other hand on her slender waist.

With a slight tremor of his waist, Meng Tingzhou wished he could immerse himself in it in an instant.

"Meimei..."

His deep voice was full of temptation: "Meimei, will you come with me? Let's go to the North together."

Jiang Shiwan's eyes widened slightly and his eyelashes trembled.

After a long time, Meng Tingzhou finally let go of her lips, his dark eyes filled with ardent attachment: "Do you understand what I said?"

Jiang Shiwan collected his thoughts and licked his lips: "I heard it."

She didn't know that even the slightest movement of hers at this moment was enough to touch the heartstrings of the man in front of her.

He couldn't help but reach out and lift her chin: "Are you willing to go with me? Go with me willingly."

Meng Tingzhou looked at him deeply with his slightly narrowed eyes, and Jiang Shiwan couldn't look away at all.

After a while, she looked at him and said, "I will follow you, of course."

Hearing these words from her, Meng Tingzhou seemed to have gotten the answer he wanted.

He kissed her forehead from top to bottom until he felt Jiang Shiwan tremble slightly. He raised his head gently and said, "Meimei, I am willing to build a brocade house for you so that you will not suffer any grievances in such a bitter and cold place in the north."

After saying that, he held her in his arms again and murmured to himself: "It's great that you are willing to follow me, it's great..."
