Chapter 130: Strict Rules at Home
Thus began the friendship between Yue Niang and Qin Wanwan.
There was no danger in the palace today, it was just that the higher-ups wanted to appease the Jiang family.
When Yue Niang left, the Queen Mother rewarded her with countless treasures and gold.
The little money that flows through their fingers is more than what Yue Niang earns in a few months of hard work.
The Duke of Xingguo's Mansion was deserted, but Qin Wanwan still stayed here tonight.
"I don't want to be a good boy either. Do you know why I haven't been to the palace for several months?"
Qin Wanwan and Yue Niang were drinking and chatting happily on the roof at this time.
When Qin Wanwan said this, Yue Niang also became interested: "Why?"
Qin Wanwan took another deep breath. "Because I was grounded. That day, I rescued you from Prince Cheng's mansion, and my maid told my father about it. I clearly saved someone and did a good deed, but do you know what he said?"
Yue Niang asked, "What did you say?"
Qin Wanwan imitated Qin Pan's tone and said, "Father named you Wanwan because he hoped you would be gentle. But you've taken the limelight. If it weren't for Father cleaning up after you, your reputation as a tough guy would have spread."
The only person who could have spread the news was probably Fu Yuanniang, who was hiding in the dark.
Upon hearing this, Yue Niang looked ashamed and said, "I'm sorry, I have caused you trouble."
Qin Wanwan's worries crept up her brows again. "What does this have to do with you? Before my father got married, he spent his days in prostitutes. He only passed the imperial examination after marrying my mother. My grandfather always hoped that he would inherit his legacy, but my father was unwilling. Later, I was born. Although I was a girl, I grew up in my grandfather's courtyard. I followed him in wielding swords and spears. My dream at the time was to become the first female general of Dacheng and expand Dacheng's territory.
But they want me to marry the crown prince for the sake of the stability of the country and the harem. The crown prince doesn't want to, so I try my best to make him like me. How long has it been since I last touched a sword? But he still doesn't like me. If he still doesn't want to marry me next year, I will leave this Shangjing and become a wandering swordsman. Isn't this a ridiculous dream coming from a girl in the boudoir?
Yue Niang looked at Qin Wanwan who continued to drink silently and said seriously, "Don't be ridiculous. It's such a great thing to have a dream. There is no shortage of people in this world who just go with the flow and are content with the status quo."
"Yue Niang, is there anything you're thinking about?"
Yue Niang fell into deep thought. What did she want to do? First, she wanted to save enough money and be a salted fish. Later, she wanted to have a family that cared about her.
Later, he dealt with the Fu family and the Tian family. What about now?
Yue Niang looked in the direction of Xunzhou, then looked at the candlelight lit in the library in the distance.
"Now I just hope to be reunited with my family and live an ordinary life."
Qin Wanwan toasted Yue Niang and said, "An ordinary life is also a remarkable thing. I really indulged myself today. When I return home tomorrow, I will be a well-educated and well-mannered girl again. I will drink another jar today."
Qin Wanwan was drunk and unconscious, but Yue Niang still had a bit of rationality.
He ran to the library holding the bottle of wine.
It was late at night, and Jiang Yunxiao was brought back to reality by the sound of Yue Niang pushing the door.
Yue Niang was holding a jar of wine, her cheeks slightly flushed, her expression dazed, and she opened her red lips slightly: "Jiang Yunxiao, do you still love me? How long has it been since you last came back to our courtyard?"
Jiang Yunxiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed his wife was extremely lonely. "I have always loved you, Yue'er."
Yue Niang took advantage of the alcohol to vent her dissatisfaction: "I don't want to be a sensible wife. I don't want to be sensible about everything. I miss you so much."
Jiang Yunxiao put down the book in his hand and walked towards the shaky Yue Niang: "Yue'er, I'm sorry, I neglected you."
Yue Niang closed her eyes, still being held by Jiang Yunxiao: "No, I was too willful tonight. I love you so much, Jiang Yunxiao."
Yue Niang's last bit of clarity was also lost.
The next day, Yue Niang woke up and her cheeks turned red when she saw Jiang Yunxiao, who was staring at her in disheveled clothes.
She explained anxiously: "Husband, I didn't mean to disturb you. I was a little drunk last night."
Jiang Yunxiao stroked the hair on Yue Niang's cheek and said, "Yue'er, you are already a very good wife. Don't restrain yourself." There was a hint of teasing in his eyes.
"Jiang Yunxiao, you're annoying."
Jiang Yunxiao exposed his neck and continued to joke: "Last night it was obviously the Madam, but you were even more annoying. I have never seen such a crazy Madam."
Yue Niang pulled up the quilt to cover herself and said, "Hurry up and leave. It's so early in the morning. Can't you let me sleep?"
Seeing this, Jiang Yunxiao reached out and hugged Yue Niang: "Madam, I'm sorry to have wronged you, but I really have something I must do. You know that Xiezhou and Huanzhou were lost from me."
Yue Niang poked her head out from under the quilt and hugged Jiang Yunxiao distressedly: "I know, but don't put too much pressure on yourself. I believe you can do it."
"Thank you, Yue'er."
The two of them lingered for a while before Jiang Yunxiao got up and left.
Qin Wanwan, who was drunk and unconscious last night, didn't get up until the afternoon. People from the Marquis' Mansion came to urge her several times.
Qin Wanwan drank a lot of sobering soup before slowly leaving Duke Jiang's mansion.
Qin Wanwan's personality is extremely contrasting. She has ideals and ambitions, and she has a sense of the overall situation. She is indeed a qualified candidate to be the mother of a country.
Dong Zhu held Yue Niang's arm and said, "Miss, the young master has been either in the camp or in the library lately. He's been leaving the camp earlier and earlier. Could it be that he has second thoughts?"
Yue Niang looked at Dong Zhu and said, "He just has a goal to work towards. How are things going with Tian?"
Dong Zhu said, "A letter came from Tianyoumen saying that she has been asked to confess her sins at the madam's grave."
As they were talking, Dong Zhu suddenly slapped his head and said, "Miss, here is a letter from Master Wen Shu. It was delivered two days ago. I forgot to give it to you."
Dongzhu took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Yue Niang, who opened it.
"What? Ruoyan and Wenshu are coming to Lingzhou?"
Yue Niang jumped up with joy.
"Dongzhu, tell them to get ready quickly."
Ruoyan and Wenshu traveled day and night and arrived quickly.
That night, Yue Niang hosted a banquet. Wen Shu sighed, "Yue'er, it's been so long since we last met. You seem to have grown taller and lost a lot of weight."
Ruoyan also said distressedly: "Yes, I see that the boss is so thin that it makes me feel distressed."
Jiang Yunxiao quickly punished himself with a drink: "It was my negligence that caused Yue'er to suffer."
After finishing the cup, Jiang Yunxiao said goodbye again: "You guys sit down first, I have something else to do."
Yue Niang looked at Jiang Yunxiao's leaving back, a little dazed.
Ruoyan called out several times: "Boss, Boss."
At that moment, Yue Niang's eyes seemed to be filled with smoke, and she couldn't stop crying. "I don't know whether I should be happy or sad. I'm happy that he's finally not a playboy anymore, but I'm sad that he doesn't have time to accompany me anymore. Am I being too hypocritical?"
Although Yue Niang has experienced two lives, she has never had a serious relationship, and this emotion makes people worry.
"Why do I feel like the Yue Niang now is not the Yue Niang I know?"
Yue Niang came back to her senses: "What's wrong? What's different about me?"
Ruoyan picked up a piece of tripe with chopsticks and swished it in. "That's what happens when a woman falls in love. She's always worried about what she'll gain or lose. But Master Wen, you've read so many books by sages that you've long lost all the emotions and desires of ordinary people."
Wen Shu and Ruoyan joked with each other, "Ruoyan, it seems you've been through this before? Why don't you quickly teach Yue'er some tips? Look, she's almost crying."
Yue Niang wiped her dry eyes and said, "It's really windy tonight, but did you tell me in your letter what you were doing in Lingzhou this time?"
Ruoyan said, "Xiao Ming asked me to come and discuss the tea business with the Xu family. Didn't he tell me?"
Yue Niang then remembered Zhao Xiaoming's letter from two days ago: "This idiot, he said he had a surprise for me in two days, but he didn't say anything else."
Ruoyan also laughed: "That's his usual style."
Yue Niang looked at Wen Shu again: "What about you, Sister Wen Shu?"
Wen Shu suddenly felt shy: "I'm afraid if I tell you, you'll think I'm being pretentious."
Yue Niang continued to look at her with a questioning look. She then slowly said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, and I missed you a little. This time when Ruoyan came, I followed her all the way here, got some free rides, some food, and some drinks."
Yue Niang also gave her a piece of meat with her chopsticks: "Eat more."
They were enjoying their meal when Dong Zhu came in anxiously from outside the courtyard: "Miss, please look up at the sky! Hurry up!"
Yue Niang looked up and saw countless sky lanterns rising from the back garden.
Yue Niang followed the instructions and ran out.
Ruoyan and Wenshu also followed.
At the source of the Kongming lantern, Jiang Yunxiao was writing something stroke by stroke.
He was completely unaware that Yue Niang appeared behind him.
Jiang Yunxiao only wrote: Fu Yue Niang is safe and happy, and will love me forever.
Yue Niang gently called him, "Brother Yun Xiao."
Jiang Yunxiao turned around: "Ah, Yue'er, you're here so soon?"
Yue Niang looked into his eyes and said, "I ran here."
At this moment, Jiang Yunxiao wanted to cry, but Yue Niang cried before him.
"I'm sorry, Jiang Yunxiao, I shouldn't have been so hypocritical. You wasted a lot of time preparing these things, didn't you? What about the books you left behind and the things happening in the camp? I'm sorry."
