WLAEF 129

Hi all, I'm planning on doing something for Christmas and don't know what to choose. Opinions are welcomed - Voice it here!



Chapter 129

At the beginning of September, the night in the capital was already a bit chilly. The stars were dotted and the clear brilliance of the cold moon sprinkled the earth.

The door opened with a squeak. Shen Feng Ming walked in.

He was dressed in red. It seemed that he had bathed. His hair was like ink, and his eyes were bright.

There was hangover soup already prepared on the table, Jiang Yun Zhu stood up, wanting to pour him a bowl.

At this time, Shen Feng Ming had already closed the door and came to her side.

Jiang Yun Zhu handed him the hangover soup, "Would you like some drink?"

Shen Feng Ming drank a lot of wine, but he wasn't drunk. He didn't even give the hangover soup a glance. Instead, he stared at Jiang Yun Zhu with burning eyes.

Jiang Yun Zhu blushed. Of course she knew what would happen next, they were already husband and wife.

"Yun Zhu, can I..." Shen Feng Ming grabbed her hand and asked.

At this time, his hands seemed to be scalding. Jiang Yun Zhu's whole body became limp from the heat. Her snowy smooth skin was stained with a blush. It was as attractive as spring cherry blossoms

Shen Feng Ming couldn't bear it anymore, threw the hangover soup on the table, bent down to pick her up, and pressed her on the bed.

Shen Feng Ming didn't dare to kiss passionately and intensely before as he was afraid that he would lose control and disrespect her. But now, she was his. His wife in name. He could kiss her wantonly.

Jiang Yun Zhu only felt hot. Why was it so hot tonight? It was so hot that she couldn't breathe.

At this time, she heard the rustling sound of undressing and opened her eyes slightly. It was like a blooming flower, waiting to be picked.

There were many scars on Shen Feng Ming's body. Those scars were big or small, new or old.

Jiang Yun Zhu unconsciously stroked his scar with her hands.

Her action unintentionally stimulated Shen Feng Ming. He hugged her tightly and sank down.

Then Jiang Yun Zhu didn't feel sorry for his scars anymore. She even wanted to scratch out a few on him. It was a pity that she didn't even have that strength. She could only let him get whatever he wanted.

In the corridor outside the door, Attendant Chang only heard a coquettish cry, which were followed by intermittent low moans as if one had been bullied hard. The voice was mellow and beautiful. It hooked into people's hearts and people couldn't help but want to hear more.

Since the bride was like this, it seemed she would suffer a lot tonight... Attendant Chang walked back with a smile while feeling emotional.

Princess Danyang was drinking tea at the back. Of course, her attention wasn't on the tea at all. Her eyes flicked out from time to time.

At this time, Attendant Chang entered.

"How is it?" She asked. To be honest, she was worried. She was very sure that her son was very talented and could do it. But……

"Madam, you have to take some pity on young madam tomorrow morning." Attendant Chang responded like this.

Her meaning was that it had been done. What's more, it was very...

Princess Danyang grinned, "Tell them to not get up so early tomorrow morning."

Of course she had to take pity on the bride., who was as delicate as a flower. The more she looked at her now, the more she liked her.

"En." Attendant Chang said with a smile.

Princess Danyang stopped drinking tea, put down the tea bowl, and went back to the bedroom.

Academician Shen had already gone to bed, holding a book in his hand and seemed to be reading.

Princess Danyang snorted coldly. So sanctimonious. Was he really reading the book?

"It's done." She stated.

Academician Shen coughed lightly. He knew that his son was fine.

Time to sleep.

The next day, when the sky was bright, Jiang Yun Zhu suddenly opened her eyes and wanted to get up. As a newly-married woman, she got to offer tea to her in-laws the second morning. She was thinking about it yesterday. Why did she sleep until this hour?

Just when she moved, she felt sore all over. Especially when the waist was being hugged. She couldn't get up even if she wanted to get up.

Shen Feng Ming opened his eyes, "Let's sleep for a while."

Jiang Yun Zhu gave him a pointed stare and blamed him. Also, "Why didn't you wake me up?"

Shen Feng Ming knew what she was worried about, "Mother said to let you take a good rest. No need to rush to offer tea." As he spoke, he clasped Jiang Yun Zhu's waist and pulled her into his arms

The two touched skin to skin.

Jiang Yun Zhu didn't feel anything at first. Later, she noticed the changes in his body and hurriedly wanted to break free.

"I won't do anything." Shen Feng Ming held her down and said. Last night, he experienced the ultimate bliss in the world. His body had got a taste and knew the taste. Of course he would have responses. But he knew that her body wasn't used to it yet and would have to nurture it for a few days.

He always kept his word. Jiang Yun Zhu relaxed her body and laid down.

It was just that she couldn't sleep anymore. Especially since his body was hot.

"How about let's get up and serve tea to Father and Mother." Jiang Yun Zhu slowly suggested.

"Your body..."

"It's fine." Jiang Yun Zhu got up as soon as she said that. She felt that if she kept laying on the bed something would happen sooner or later.

Shen Feng Ming had no choice but to let her go.

The two got up and dressed. Then the door was opened to let the servers in.

Jiang Yun Zhu brought He Ying and Shi Liu here. She was used to having them by her side.

As long as she liked it, Shen Feng Ming would agree.

After a while, the two got dressed and went out.

Once outside at the pavilions, Jiang Yun Zhu didn't know the directions. Shen Feng Ming held her hand, interlocked her fingers, and led her to the main hall.

There were many servants in the Shen Manor. When they saw the gentleman and the young madam walking hand in hand from a distance, they were surprised at first, and then filled with envy.

Attendant Chang saw Shen Feng Ming and Jiang Yun Zhu from a long distance away and directed to Academician Shen and Princess Danyang, "Master, Madam, Gentleman and Young Madam are here to serve you tea."

As soon as Academician Shen and Princess Danyang looked up, they happened to see their fingers intertwined.

The usually cold-faced son seemed to have a smile in his eyes. He looked more dignified and handsome than before. And the person by his side was as delicate and beautiful as apricot blossoms after rain. The two came hand in hand. Everything was as beautiful as a painting.

The smile on Princess Danyang's face couldn't be stopped no matter what.

"Attendant Chang, tell me, is it better for to birth a grandson or a granddaughter first?" Her had already wandered to this point.

Attendant Chang knew that she was overjoyed. Her mouth seemed to be smeared with honey, "Gentleman is handsome, while Young Madam is beautiful. The male born must be handsome and the female born must be beautiful. With the beautiful appearance, let the flowers bloom first and then bear fruit. Maybe birth an elder brother first. In future, dote younger sister. Either is fine."

"You’re a smooth speaker." These words made Princess Danyang even happier.

She herself only had one son. Actually, she liked a little granddaughter. However, she liked a grandson too.

Academician Shen was listening beside her with a smile on his upright face. Today, it was rare for him and Princess Danyang not to quarrel.

At this moment, Shen Feng Ming and Jiang Yun Zhu came in and bowed to them together.

"Get up quickly. Why didn't you take a good rest?" Princess Danyang said.

"We’re one family. Don't have to be so polite." Academician Shen spoke.

Before coming, Jiang Yun Zhu was a little worried. She was afraid that Princess Danyang wouldn't be easy to get along with, and that Academician Shen wouldn't like her. Unexpectedly, the two of them were so kind to her.

Give a papaya, repaid with a precious jade. Jiang Yun Zhu treated them as her own parents.

While talking, they even reached the topic of heirs. Princess Danyang told Jiang Yun Zhu to go back to rest quickly and ordered Attendant Chang to cook some good soup for nourishing yin and beautifying her appearance at noon.

Princess Danyang and Academician Shen had the desire of wanting to have a grandson almost written on their faces.

Coming out of the main hall and returning to the room, Jiang Yun Zhu was sitting in front of the dressing table in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Shen Feng Ming embraced her from behind. He sensed that she had something on her mind.

Jiang Yun Zhu did have something on her mind. Last night, she took medicine. It was a kind of contraceptive medicine. She didn't want to have a baby so soon. And she had always believed that being a parent means being responsible to their children. If one couldn't guarantee that their child could grow up safely and happily, then don't give birth.

But now, Princess Danyang and Academician Shen had such a strong desire for a grandchild and they treated her so well...

"Tell me." Shen Feng Ming kissed her forehead.

She raised her head and met Shen Feng Ming's gaze.

She could trust him, right?

Jiang Yun Zhu took a jewelry box and opened it. There was a hidden compartment underneath. From the hidden compartment, she took out a small medicine bottle.

"I asked Celestial Doctor Wu to prepare this for me." Jiang Yun Zhu said.

Shen Feng Ming looked at her. And then?

"Can, avoid pregnancy." Jiang Yun Zhu kept watching Shen Feng Ming, trying to capture his reaction clearly.

She didn't want her own child! This thought suddenly appeared in Shen Feng Ming's mind, His mood changed from overjoyed to lonely. Such a drop made him unconsciously change his expression.

But he quickly controlled himself, "Did you take this medicine last night?"

Jiang Yun Zhu suddenly didn't dare to look him in the eyes. She looked away and nodded.

"Why?"

Jiang Yun Zhu expressed her thoughts.

Shen Feng Ming let out a sigh of relief. It turned out that it was his problem. He didn't let her feel at ease.

He considered his words and slowly responded, "Actually, I used to doubt my parents. Why did Mother give birth to me? So I understand your worries.

I once thought that I would never marry a wife or have children.

But..." Shen Feng Ming looked at Jiang Yun Zhu. But he met her. He wanted to be with her. He had thought that if they had children, he would definitely let them grow up happily.

Shen Feng Ming paused before suddenly stating, "If you don't want to have a baby, then don't."

He wanted a child belonging to the two of them, but he knew how difficult it was for a woman to have a baby. He didn't want her to suffer that kind of bitterness.

Just the two of them. It was pretty good to be together forever.

Jiang Yun Zhu raised her head, "What about Father and Mother?"

They wouldn't agree.

"You don't have to worry. I'll go and explain to them. If it doesn't work, say it's because of my body. They won't make things difficult for you then." Shen Feng Ming said. Anyway, he was often talked about before. He didn't care!

Jiang Yun Zhu gave him a pointed look. She wanted to laugh, but she didn't.

He truly didn't care about his reputation!

"Don't take this medicine in the future." Shen Feng Ming took the medicine bottle. It was three-point poison. She was weak. He should be the one eating it or use some methods.

Jiang Yun Zhu knew what he meant and suddenly hugged his waist.

"I won't eat." After a pause, "You don't need to eat either."

"En?"

"Actually, even if we want a child, we may not be able to have it right away." Jiang Yun Zhu said. She decided to leave it to fate.

Shen Feng Ming pecked lightly on her forehead. In fact, he could have worked harder.

On this day, the two of them rested at home and were like glue.

The next day, Jiang Yun Zhu wanted to visit her own restaurant. After preparing for the wedding for so many days, she hadn't been to restaurants very often. Now that she was free, she was a little worried.

Shen Feng Ming immediately went to talk to Princess Danyang and Academician Shen.

It was unknown what he said, but in the future, Jiang Yun Zhu could run restaurants, fleets, and do what she likes.

Jiang Yun Zhu happily kissed him. He treated her so well.

Then she was hugged onto the desk.

Her body hadn't fully nurtured yet. Shen Feng Ming kissed her and let her go.

Jiang Yun Zhu went to the restaurant. The restaurant was very lively. It was only a few days ago that Xue Jing knew about Shen Feng Ming's identity. He was both surprised and worried.

"Boss, I thought you would never come again!" He saw Jiang Yun Zhu and almost cried with joy. Jiang Yun Zhu married into the Shen Family. A wealthy family! He was afraid that he would never see her again.

Jin Jiao Yue and the others surrounded Jiang Yun Zhu. The restaurant was still comfortable without her, but it always felt like something was missing. Now that she was back, it was wonderful.

Back at the familiar place, Jiang Yun Zhu was in a good mood and chatted with everyone.

It was almost noon. Feeling grateful for the generosity of Princess Danyang and Academician Shen, she personally cooked for them and got Shi Liu to send them back home.

At this time, in Shen's manor. After Jiang Yun Zhu left, Shen Feng Ming went to work. Only Princess Danyang and Academician Shen were left in the residence. The two sat at the same table to eat. It was lonely and deserted.

At this time, Shi Liu brought the food. All made by Jiang Yun Zhu herself and were steaming hot.

"Master, Madam, Young Madam was thinking about you." Attendant Chang directed to Princess Danyang and Academician Shen while putting the food on the table.

Taibai duck, Mrs. Song's fish soup, dragon and phoenix ball... every dish was full of color, fragrance and taste. Attendant Chang looked at it, almost drooling.

Princess Danyang's complexion obviously improved. After she ate a piece of Taibai duck, a smile appeared on her face.

It was the first time for Academician Shen to eat a meal made by Jiang Yun Zhu. The sausages that Shen Feng Ming brought back that time and the snacks he sent back later were nothing compared to proper meals.

After eating like this, he was immediately conquered.

Why was this duck so delicious? And this fish soup. So fresh that the tongue almost dropped. This dragon and phoenix ball...

The more he ate, the happier he became. The atmosphere in the room immediately changed.

Attendant Chang watched from the side and let out a sigh of relief. Young Madam's skill was superb. How nice it was to have such a harmonious family!

When the masters were happy, she was happy.

In the afternoon, Jiang Yun Zhu was going back home.

Just after leaving the restaurant, a servant girl came over.

"County Master Yunrong?" The round-faced servant girl glanced at Jiang Yun Zhu nervously and quickly lowered her head. As expected of the person Commissioner-in-chief Shen likes. She was so attractive that people dared not look directly at her.

The round-faced maid came from King Huainan's Manor. Today, she had been guarding outside the Shen Manor, thinking about how to deliver a letter to Jiang Yun Zhu inside.

Who would have thought that Jiang Yun Zhu, the young madam of the Shen Family, would leave the house.

So she decided to tell her those words in person.

"You are?" Jiang Yun Zhu asked.

Shi Liu looked at the maid vigilantly.

The round-faced maid briefly explained her identity before talking about Jiang Yun Xiu and what she asked her to bring to Jiang Yun Zhu.

Jiang Yun Xiu fell out of favor and was abandoned in a side courtyard. She wanted her to help her?

Jiang Yun Zhu pondered for a while, "Ask for me, 'If it were you, would you help?'"

After speaking, she ignored the round-faced maid and left.

The round-faced maid looked confused. What did Jiang Yun Zhu mean by that sentence? She wanted to ask again, but there was no trace of Jiang Yun Zhu.

Forget it. Anyway, what she promised had been fulfilled.

The round-faced servant girl returned to King Huainan's Manor.

Jiang Yun Xiu had been waiting for her. Seeing her come back, she immediately stepped forward, "How was it? What did she say."

The round-faced maid stated with a cold face, "The other party told me to bring you a sentence, 'If it were you, would you help?'"

She didn't understand the meaning of these words, but Jiang Yun Xiu immediately understood what Jiang Yun Zhu meant. She asked, if she was the one who fell out of favor and abandoned, would she help her?

Jiang Yun Xiu froze there, asking herself, if Jiang Yun Zhu was abandoned, would she help her?

No! definitely not! She would only be delighted and watch her joke.

She wouldn’t help her, so how could she ask her to help her? This was what Jiang Yun Zhu meant.

The truth made her unable to refute.

Jiang Yun Xiu suddenly laughed, laughing in despair. She regretted it. Maybe she shouldn't have snatched that short branch. Maybe she shouldn't have thought about being the Young Madam of the Marquis Manor. What she regretted the most was that she shouldn't have become the concubine of King Huainan...

The round-faced maid was scared by her reaction. She must have mental problems!

When Jiang Yun Zhu returned to Shen's manor, Princess Danyang and Academician Shen didn't have any strange expression when they saw her.

The four of us had dinner together in the evening. It was indeed much more lively than at noon.

On the third day of marriage, Jiang Yun Zhu had her third day return. Shen Feng Ming accompanied her.

Mrs. Chen and the others have been very worried about her for the past few days. Seeing her and Shen Feng Ming coming back together arm in arm as a happy young couple, everyone was relieved.

After chatting and laughing, Jiang Cheng suggested that they would return to Wuling County tomorrow.

"Isn't it good to live here?" Jiang Yun Zhu couldn't bear to part with them.

"It's very good here, but I want to go back even more." Jiang Cheng said.

"He is reluctant to part with his business." Mrs. Chen chipped in with a smile.

Jiang Cheng's face turned red. He was indeed reluctant to part with his business, but there were other reasons as well. Although the capital was good, it wasn't a place for them to stay. Here, they were like duckweed floating in the water.

It was better to go back to Wuling County, keep their feet on the ground, and their heart would be steady.

Jiang Yun Zhu wanted to persuade, but Jiang Cheng and the others had made up their minds. They preferred life in Wuling County.

In the end, Jiang Yun Zhu stopped persuading them. Everyone had their own ambitions and no one could force others.

Early the next morning, Jiang Yun Zhu sent Jiang Cheng and the others away.

"I'm leaving tomorrow too." Doctor Wu said. The fleet was ready a few days ago, but everyone wanted to attend the wedding banquet of Shen Feng Ming and Jiang Yun Zhu. So it was delayed until now.

It was time, time to set sail!

Jiang Yun Zhu had just sent Jiang Cheng and the others away. She was reluctant to leave Celestial Doctor Wu.

But it can’t be helped.

The next day, she and Shen Feng Ming sent Celestial Doctor Wu to the pier.

Twenty large ships have already docked here. The equipment on them was complete. Chi Zheng, Han Kuo and others were standing at the bow of the ship, ready to go and looking majestic.

Celestial Doctor Wu stepped onto the front big ship.

"Old Mister, take care." Jiang Yun Zhu reminded.

"You have to be well. Wait for me to come back." Celestial Doctor Wu said. Then he looked at Shen Feng Ming and snorted, "If she suffers a little bit of grievance..."

"Don't worry." Shen Feng Ming said.

Seeing them standing side by side, Celestial Doctor Wu finally chose to trust Shen Feng Ming and boarded the big ship.

The big ship raised its sails and broke through the waves to go afar.

Jiang Yun Zhu stood there, unable to calm down for a long time.

At this time, Shen Feng Ming hugged her. She had him.

Jiang Yun Zhu hugged his waist back. The sunlight shone on the water and reflected on the two of them. So warm and beautiful.
