The Jia Zhen was blinded by lust.
He finally tasted the sweet fruit at night.
When he woke up the next day,
He found that the bed beside him was cold. He knew that his violent woman had gone to pay respects to Madam.
He thought of what he had promised last night.
The Jia Zhen wailed in his heart.
What was going on?
After the Jia Zhen had breakfast, he went to Rongguo Province.
He went to the engraving master's place with the Jia Xie.
"Zheng'er, why do I feel that you're not in a good mood?" The Jia Xie noticed that the Jia Zhen did not seem to be in a good mood today.
She asked.
"It's nothing, Uncle She.
How do you and Auntie usually get along? "The Jia Zhen was a little curious.
"Hehe.
Why are you asking this? "The Jia Xie was a little embarrassed.
"I'm just asking and learning. Seeing that you and Auntie are so harmonious, I want to be happy too."
The Jia Zhen admired his Uncle She. He and Auntie had been married for so many years, but they were still so loving. Although Uncle She also had a concubine,
He rarely went to his concubine's place.
"Just, just listen to your Auntie more.
Your Auntie is the daughter of the Zhang family.
She's experienced and knowledgeable.
I'll listen to her. "When he was young, he would listen to his grandmother. After his grandmother died, he would listen to his wife. Anyway, he had not made any mistakes for so many years. It was quite good.
"Won't others say that you're afraid of Auntie?" the Jia Zhen asked.
"If others say it, then so be it. I don't care so much. Life is for me, not for others to see." The Jia Xie did not care about these things. When his grandmother passed away, she had told him that he was not a very good leader, and he was a little gullible. Therefore, she told him to listen to his wife more. Anyway, his wife would not harm him.
The Jia Zhen nodded. Indeed, life was for him. Listening to his wife was not a big deal. If Uncle She could do it, he could do it too. However, his wife liked women. How could he do it? Jia Zhen felt that if he just let it be, he would soon be made a cuckold. So, he couldn't completely listen to that woman.
While Jia Zhen was immersed in learning the engraving, Xia Lu was thinking about when Jia Zhen would go to the Qian Family. She had already prepared the manservant's clothes. She had also tried on the men's clothes and felt that it was very successful.
"When are you going to the Qian Family? Concubine Dian Deng is still waiting, "Xia Lu reminded.
"Why are you so concerned?" Jia Zhen was dissatisfied. This woman always cared about other women. Did she know her own identity? Now, this woman was his wife.
"Didn't you promise to take me out when the time comes? Don't tell me you've forgotten. "Xia Lu narrowed his eyes.
The Jia Zhen pursed her lips, feeling extremely upset. "In a few days. It's the most important time for me to learn the engraving now."
Xia Lu raised her eyebrows. What did she mean by the most important time? She felt that Jia Zhen was avoiding it. Anyway, she had to go with Jia Zhen. She had already asked Xiao Fei to pay attention to the Jia Zhen's study. As long as Jia Zhen dared to touch the cloth bag, she would know immediately. Jia Zhen couldn't run away alone.
Jia Zhen originally wanted to delay for a few more days, but Dian Deng couldn't wait any longer. The Qian Family sent her another letter, asking her to act as soon as possible.
Dian Deng had no choice but to urge Jia Zhen. Jia Zhen was impatient and didn't have a good attitude towards Dian Deng. She relented and said that she would go to the Qian Family tomorrow.
"How is it?" Xia Lu changed into men's clothes, and then put on a man's makeup for herself. Naturally, she didn't draw in the handsome aspect, but in the delicate and ordinary aspect, which made her look decent.
Jia Zhen was annoyed to see Xia Lu's clothes, but she had to admit that Xia Lu's disguise was very successful. His ears were plugged, and he put on a manservant's hat. He nodded and bowed deliberately, looking exactly like a handsome manservant.
"Let's go." Although Jia Zhen wasn't happy, she still took Xia Lu with her.
Xia Lu followed behind Jia Zhen and left Luo Ying Courtyard. When they went to the carriage house, they met some servants. They saw an unfamiliar manservant following behind Jia Zhen, but they didn't think much about it. After all, Ning Guo Mansion was a big business. There were hundreds of manservants and maidservants, and there were still maidservants getting married. There were also new maidservants being sent into the mansion. However, when they saw Xia Lu, they were still envious in their hearts. If she worked beside their master, she would be able to have a meteoric rise in the future.
Xia Lu, who was finally going out, was very excited. To be honest, although the courtyard in Ningguo Province was beautiful, she had been married for more than three months. No matter how beautiful the courtyard was, she was tired of it after looking at it for a long time. As a woman, she hadn't gone out in the past three months except for attending a party with her mother-in-law and going out to burn incense. She was really bored.
Jia Zhen took Xia Lu to the carriage. Compared to Xia Lu's excitement, he was much more unhappy.
After the carriage took him and Xia Lu to the tavern, Jia Zhen sent the servant driving the carriage back to the mansion.
Standing in front of the tavern, Jia Zhen resisted the urge to find two palanquins and directly took Xia Lu to the Qian Mansion. As for why he didn't find a palanquin, Xia Lu was his manservant after all. He could only find one palanquin. Xia Lu could only follow the palanquin outside. It was Xia Lu's first time going out. He was afraid of accidents, so he simply put Xia Lu under his nose.
Fortunately, the tavern where the carriage stopped was not far from the Qian Mansion. They arrived in the time it took to burn two incense sticks.
When they arrived at the door of the Qian Mansion, Xia Lu took the initiative to knock on the door.
The Jia Zhen's visit to the Qian Mansion this time caused a stir in the entire Qian Mansion. The servant called him "son-in-law" and directly asked the Jia Zhen to go to Qian Mu's courtyard without informing him.
"Zheng 'er is here?" Qian Mu saw the Jia Zhen come and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes, Dian Deng asked me to send these over. These are all her things." Seeing Qian Mu again, the Jia Zhen didn't know how to address Qian Mu anymore. After all, the Qian Clan's dowry had been taken back, which meant that they were no longer related to the Qian Family.
Qian Mu didn't hear how the Jia Zhen addressed her and secretly sighed. Sure enough, their friendship was hurt.
Before Qian Mu could say anything else, a servant came to report that the masters of the Qian Family had come and were waiting outside to come in and pay their respects.
Qian Mu secretly hated them. These sons of his had a keen sense of smell. Zheng 'er hadn't even sat down yet, but they hurried over. Thinking of the past, because of the tens of thousands of taels of silver, they didn't come to pay their respects for two months. Now, they came. It was really ironic.
"Zheng 'er, take a seat." Qian Mu didn't pay attention to the servant who came to report.
The Jia Zhen, who had given the gifts and was about to leave, saw the situation and understood that he couldn't leave now. He could only sit on a chair and pray in his heart that this violent woman's identity wouldn't be discovered by others.
Xia Lu followed the Jia Zhen and stood behind him, pretending to be a wooden man.
"Go, pour a cup of tea for Zheng 'er," Qian Mu ordered.
