The Three Spirit Stones

Chapter 157 Rebuilding old friendships

"Hello, Lord."

"Um,"

When Cheng Yu stood beside the table with a dark face, Xu and Li immediately stood up and saluted him with a little fear.

"Hey, why are you here?"

Ah Cai also saw him,

She was a person whose temper came and went quickly. She had completely forgotten the quarrel with him before, but when she suddenly saw him today, she instinctively became happy.

Cheng Yu's originally gloomy face inexplicably softened after he saw her smiling face.

"Come, sit here,"

"Xu Jiang, sit here,"

She asked Cheng Yu to take a seat, and then arranged for Mr. Xu to sit at another table, and she sat next to Cheng Yu.

Xu and Li were now used to her calling them by their names.

Xu Jiang immediately gave his seat to Cheng Yu and sat in another seat himself.

Ah Cai's diligence directly pleased Cheng Yu.

Seeing her pull the chair next to her and sit down, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but slightly rise.

Li Mengbai asked him,

"How can it be such a coincidence, sir?"

"I'm leaving the court now and passing by here to have a meal."

"The Marquis seems to be familiar with Teacher Cai?"

Ah Cai immediately rushed to say, "Yes, we have known each other for many years."

Cheng Yu deliberately teased her and said, "How many years has it been?"

"We have known each other for more than forty years,"

"Hahaha……"

"Teacher Cai is really good at joking~"

Everyone laughed, and everyone thought she was joking.

A Cai looked at Cheng Yu who was also smiling, and suddenly felt like crying!

He is him, and he is not him!

It will take a thousand years before I can see him again!

Ugh!

She sighed heavily in her heart!

A plate of stir-fried vegetables was served. Ah Cai remembered that Cheng Yu preferred vegetarian food to meat.

She picked up one with chopsticks.

He bit off the tender core of the vegetable and put the stem in Cheng Yu's bowl, saying, "Eat some greens."

Several people were stunned by her actions!

How can you serve food to others like this?

Eat the tender ones and give the old ones to others?

Cheng Yu's face darkened again and he asked her,

"what do you mean?"

But Ah Cai was also confused.

Haven’t you always liked eating vegetable stems?

Every time you bite off the tender part for me, you said that the stems are chewy.

You don't like it.

You only eat vegetable stems because you love me.

You are not the same person you were before, so you also like to eat tender vegetable hearts.

"I'm sorry, I forgot,"

After saying this nonsense, she was ready to pick up the vegetable stems and put them back into her bowl.

Cheng Yu suddenly realized that maybe this was the way he used to get along with her.

He quickly held her hand and said, "No need, I like to eat vegetable stems too."

After saying that, he picked it up with chopsticks and put it into his mouth to chew.

Sure enough, she immediately laughed happily, and diligently poured wine and served him food, instantly turning into a virtuous young wife!

Xu Jiang and Li Mengbai figured out that the relationship between Lord Hou and Teacher Cai was not simple.

After dinner, Acai suggested going shopping, and the two of them tactfully said goodbye.

Today is the happiest day for Cheng Yu in recent times.

He watched her naturally hold his arm, and as she addressed him not "Marquis" but "husband", she chirped like a happy little bird as she walked, and he couldn't help but feel happy!

It turns out it’s so fun to be with her, she’s so cute when she smiles!

He feels that this is love!

Yuechan and Ayuan are both very beautiful and excellent, but I never feel this kind of heartbeat when I am with them. Every time I meet them, I just follow the routine, greet them and do the routine husband and wife things.

This may be fate!

The two were showing affection in the front, and the guards behind them were so wide-eyed.

It turns out that their Lord also has such a gentle side. He smiled so tenderly at the girl.

The girl said she wanted to go to Panlou South Street to see falcons, and the Marquis agreed.

After watching the flying animals, we are going to Suzakumen again. The Marquis also agreed...

We spent the whole afternoon just wandering around, eating and hanging out.

You have to know that their Marquis is not an idler on the street. He is usually very busy and anyone who wastes his time will be scolded.

He was so patient to hang out with this girl today? It seemed that he really treated her differently.

The sunset was approaching, and Cheng Yu of course had to send Ah Cai back to her residence in the academy's small building. He planned to spend the night there. After spending half a day together, he found that he didn't want to leave her at all.

Back at the small building, they took a shower, changed clothes, and went to bed in tacit understanding, without any of the awkwardness that comes with meeting a man and a woman just now.

This kind of tacit understanding can only be cultivated through long-term interaction.

Cheng Yu completely believed that A Cai was his woman.

He was delighted to realize this.

That night, he finally got a taste of his dream.

It turns out that being with the woman you love most is really different.

This feeling of perfect harmony, of body and mind being one, is something no other woman can give me.

Their relationship was repaired, and although the process was a bit tortuous, the ending was finally good.

Let’s just live our lives like this!

Just wait for a thousand years and he will come back.

Or maybe we don't have to wait a thousand years. If we spend more time together, he will naturally change back to the person he was before.

Acai thought optimistically.

……

……

Sun Yuechan and Yelu Yuan found that their Lord had been in good spirits recently, but he usually did not stay overnight at the mansion.

It's obvious that he has someone outside!

In fact, it's no big deal for a man to have a few concubines. If he likes them, he can just take them home openly. What's the point of keeping them outside like this?

People who don't know much about it might think that the wife of the Cheng family didn't allow her husband to take a concubine, so the marquis kept the concubine outside.

Sun Yuechan doesn't deserve the bad reputation of being a jealous woman!

Because of this matter, she went to discuss it with her mother-in-law.

When Mrs. Cheng heard this, she also felt that Yuechan was right.

Our Cheng family is not just an ordinary royal family. We are extremely powerful and wealthy enough to rival a country.

Now I only have two grandchildren, which is too few.

You should take more concubines and have more children so that your brothers can help you in the future and inherit the family business better!

One day, Cheng Yu came home and Madam Cheng called him over. After they met, Madam Cheng asked her son about his extramarital affair.

Cheng Yu was stunned for a moment, then he immediately laughed.

"Mother is really well-informed,"

Mrs. Cheng also laughed. She said, "What's the reason for this? You are not at home at night every day. What other reason can you have except that someone outside is holding your heart?"

"Mother is still so smart,"

Cheng Yu smiled even more happily.

He was in a very good mood during this period, just like a young boy meeting his first love.

"Stop flattering me,"

"It's understandable that a man wants to see a girl he likes every day, but if he likes her, he should take her home. What's wrong with keeping her outside?"

"You have to understand that you are not an ordinary person, and your every move will be watched by others,"

"Keeping a mistress outside and not bringing her in? People will think that our Cheng family can't even accommodate a concubine, and that our Cheng family's first wife is a jealous woman, which will cause a lot of gossip."

"Besides, it's not a good idea for her to be out all the time. What if a woman follows you without any status and name and gives birth to a child?"

"Are you going to let my blood of the Cheng family bear the reputation of being a bastard?"

Mrs. Cheng's words are indeed very reasonable.

Cheng Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Mother, you are very thoughtful. It is my son who neglected it."

"I'll go over to tell her tonight, and when I'm free in the next few days I'll take her home so my mother can see her."

"it is good,"

Mrs. Cheng nodded with satisfaction.
